Chapter 147 - Extremely Irresponsible

Chapter 147 - Extremely Irresponsible

『Well, I’m going to sleep. I yoroshiku the rest.』

The god who was just talking to Rēko to fire her up made a sudden declaration of leaving.

I was waiting for a chance to break in between the talks, I was dying to squeeze in and complain out my sorrows.

「Wait Kami-sama, I have told you many times already, but I am not capable of having such a big role.」

『That’s why you should sit on god’s chair even more. You could just sit down and leave everything else to the kid.』

「That is right Evil Dragon-sama, please just leave everything to me.」

「Don’t go and support shooting me down Rēko. What would happen if you became a god yourself? Could you hold the responsibility for it?」

Rēko groaned with a “Muu” when I reminded her while tapping her shoulder.

「You are correct, if you think about it calmly, we are currently in a hurry to subdue the Demon King. We don’t exactly have the time to be the guardian deity of such remote lands. We will have a peaceful life…and if I do all the miscellaneous things, Evil Dragon-sama will just continue to sit down and eat grass…」

「Eh, what’s with that- I think I am interested in such a rewarding job after all…」

「No, no, it is useless to start thinking about it, Evil Dragon-sama. After all, we will reject this offer.」

I regret that I prematurely declined it.

Isn’t that a much better life than subduing the Demon King? To be able to live comfortably and eat grass for the rest of my life?

No, wait. It’s not that convenient of a story.

It seems to be an ideal environment where I just sit around and listen to Rēko talking, but if we actually do it, it will come to “The Evil Dragon has taken over the country!”, and there will be no waiting for civil war.

『What, you guys can’t accept it after all?』

When the two of us voiced and entered the attitude of refusal, Kami-sama yawned for a long time and hung down her head.

「Please don’t be depressed. There are far more people who are more capable than I am.」

『Then introduce me. A guy you know who will become a good god. Normal humans are not good, it need to be people that transcend human beings like that kid.』

And of course, I have no other acquaintance that is just like Rēko.

In the category of gods, I am acquainted with the Saintess and the Hunting God, but neither of them is a possible choice. The Saintess already has a land to protect, and the Hunting God can only move around the ruins where he is enshrined.

「…Well, I knew some people, but it will be difficult to bring them here.」

『It also doesn’t matter if the person is a demon, if it’s a guy that seems like he is going to be a good god.』

Eh? I tilted my head. I thought it was a bad idea for a moment, then I remembered that the Saintess was originally a demon. If the person themselves gets motivated to do it, they probably can get used to it quickly.

「That’s right. If it is a demon that is strong but isn’t so vicious, maybe Sousou-san can do it…」

『What kind of a person is that guy?』

「Ah, it is probably not good. I think she will probably get too happy that she is getting worshipped and immediately die.」

『What a sad sounding guy.』

A person who left a dying message to die after just getting her food praised, she probably can’t handle the position of god.

With a dissatisfied face, Kami-sama started yawning again.

『Geez, seems like you can’t think of a good one. If it’s a lack of power, I can just give up my magical power and that will make up for it…』

「You are surrendering your power?」

『Ou. I’m a volcanic god, so I’m also spiritual. The more I sleep, the thinner my ego gets, the closer my existence is to spirits. If that happens I can just give my magical power to another guy.』

『However,』 Kami-sam folded her arms before continuing to speak.

『Because I won’t be a complete spirit, it will put a considerable burden to the recipient. It has to be someone strong enough to be able to withstand it.』

Previously, Sheina fainted after receiving Rēko’s magical power(almost a demon).

Because of the nature of the spirits, they are more easily assimilated than the others, it might be a little milder than receiving a demon’s magical power. But as expected, it will still be a considerable burden.

Then, I lowered my voice enough that Rēko won’t be able to hear it.

「By the way, what would happen if I were to succeed you?」

『Well, you probably can’t handle it anyway, so I’ll just give it to the kid.』

「That is not good. I can hardly stop her right now, and if a god’s power were to be given to her, nobody could stop her anymore.」

If the magical power of Kami-sama that is able to win over Yoro-san was added to Rēko, she would be invincible. Maybe even someone like the Demon King would get evaporated in an instant.

However, if it’s not just Rēko’s magical power anymore, the property where I can invalidate it will probably disappear. If that were to happen, I won’t be able to stop her anymore if she goes out of control.

「Better yet, why don’t you ask Yoro-san? Isn’t the god of this country right now a thunder god? And since Yoro-san is a thunder demon, it may be easier for people to accept someone similar.」 f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

『Don’t be stupid. There is no way he will accept such a talk.』

Well, that’s true. Yoro-san surely won’t respond to consultation that will keep him away from the duel.

When I sighed, Kami-sama yawned the biggest yawn ever that drowned it out.

『Ahh, I can’t anymore. I’m very drowsy so I am going to take a nap.』

「Ah! Kami-sama, wait! At least be patient until you preach our innocence together at the capital!」

Although I started shaking her with a jerk, Kami-sama’s eyelids have already fallen heavily, and her hair, which was shining orange and standing upright, is returning to the original Shrine Maiden girl’s cherry blossom color.

『……don’t worry, I’m just taking a nap so I’ll wake up again.』

「Is that true? You won’t just fall asleep in earnest like this, right?」

『Ah…it’s fine. But there is one problem. Can I ask for your help?』

「What is it? I’ll help depending on the content.」

What I said so cautiously, Kami-sama laughed with a 『Fuh.』, as if he had foreseen that I will definitely accept it.

And his prediction is correct.

「This shrine girl. I possessed her and secretly ran away from the church, so she is supposedly missing right now. I think this is your line of work, so I’ll leave it to you.」

At the same time he finishes speaking, Kami-sama’s possession is released as if he ran away.
