God Is Hungry for Games. The Ultimate Brain Battle of a Boy Who Challenges the Gods.

The Sacred City of Ruin

And then…

“…… I did not… nothing”

……….

“WhAt tHe HECK diD You Do!?”

“Iii…iii..iiit..tt.. IT IS A MISUNDERSTANDING; I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING!”

“LIES!!!”

I wrap around the girl who was about to turn and run away.

“Reshe…. You…, So You are the type whose words come out as soon as they are conflicted huh. AND what’s more suspicious is when your tone turns into that of a very upset kamisama (God)!.”

“That ‘type’ cannot be the truth!”

“There IS SUCH A THING RIGHT~! You should be familiar with the name of the Captain who goes by the name of Yuuki… Now try and Tell me Honestly what the heck did you do now…”

“……UwU, UUUUUU, Uhhhh……”

Reche, who was yet hesitant to speak, let her eyes’ sight float in the air for a while.

“In a Long Long back, at some place —-”

“Now That’s a ‘-LONG BACK Story-‘ now!? Hey! are you trying to fool me by making it like a story which ‘-Already rests in history-’ !”

“I… I UndeRSTAND OKAY……”

Reche, who lost in all fronts, gives up and sighs.

Still unable to look at Fei directly, with an expression of someone in the wrong on her face,

“Uh…umm… I actually was really free for the last half a year. I would choose a good and healthy looking Apostle and play with them in the underground colosseum. It would also become a practice for the humans competing against Gods too right~”

“In order to pass time heh. And? after that?”

“And well, among the first names that popped up, there was kind of like a name like Yuuki or so I think. IT’S BECAUSE I STILL DIDN’T YET KNOW HOW TO HOLD BACK, so there were about to be serious victims due to that issue……”

“So… Captain Yuuki was among the ones who were TRAUMATISED FOR LIFE BECAUSE OF THAT!?”

After taking that unmanageable power of a God in its complete wholeness and still able to survive is commendable in itself. However, even though wounds would heal in time, scars would remain for life.

“B.. But I did properly go to see her recover! I also took a lot of sweets with me too!”

“Hou, So then~?”

“She screamed at the top of her voice and fainted.”

“What would you do by adding up to the trauma scarred to her heart!?”

ARGHhhh this is beyond hope…

This Dragon God Reche, if so to speak, is a lion in a zoo.

She is fun to watch from far away, but no one would dare to approach without having a cage in between.

She might be recognized by them as that kind of animal idol kind of thing.

“…… Now I see. If it becomes like this, getting into an existing team would become really difficult huh.”

Since…

The former God cannot control her turbulent self.     

However, that point of view, if taken into consideration from Fei’s perspective, will be half correct as well as half off.

The former God just wants to play with humans, trying to understand the creatures known as humans, and the biggest proof of this theory is the large amount of books accumulated in her room.

“Sorry Fei…… I am somehow… really sorry Fei……”

“…… It’s all okay”

Fei pats the head of Reche who was unusually depressed, and gets up from his seat.

“Let’s patiently look for a new team member. Even if we are unable to join any existing team, we can just form a new team all by ourselves.”

“The ‘F~ A~’ that you mentioned earlier, is?”

“Oh, right, right. It’s not uncommon to find an apostle looking for a new working team.”

In the Mystic Court, Ruin Branch alone, there are approximately a total of thousand and two hundred apostles present.

One can actually find on a daily basis, someone or other looking for a team to join to, declaring their FA and giving their personal details and performance records to the existing personnel of the team.

“And that advice center is located at that place across that corridor. If you continue to have a keen eye on that place, you can actually find someone going there.”

“……Hmmm?…”

Reche starts staring vaguely at the end of the corridor.

“Hey Fei, Let me tell you this just one time, I am not interested in companions just to fulfil the number of people required to enter. I want people who actually love to play games wholeheartedly.”

“Even for me. It has to be a person who can understand me and vice versa.”

Someone who just loves playing games.

Someone who would even forget what time it is, and just immerse themselves in games, and after immersing themselves, even if they become free, think of other ways, strategies to win the game. 

Was the number one condition Fei would definitely want his team member to have.

“……Also, this is relatively my own selfishness but, there must be one more condition added.”

“Which?”

“To have an ability which can be useful in the ‘Play of Gods’. For example, in the case of Reche, suppose you have two Supernatural-type apostles in the team, one is a flame type and the other is a water type. If both were the same in usage of their powers, who would you choose?”

“Undoubtedly The Flame one!”

“But why~?”

“Because I am the God of Fire! THAT IS WHY!”

I thought she might say this.

Because Reche is a Dragon God of Fire, she would definitely want to choose based on that familiarity…

“Boo-Boo. The answer would be “The Ice Type.”

“BUT WHY!?”

Reche’s cheeks swelled up as if she were a small child.

“That has to be FIRE! Because just look at how super strong I am!”

“Flame or Fire is just energy in the end, and Ice is material. That is the difference.”

“Hai?”

“In the ‘Play of Gods’, The Flame type magician cannot be used in battles other than combat alone. Thus, in short, they will become an incredible power to reckon with BUT only when in a team with Kamisama.”

“…… Then what about the Ice one?”

“In the case of Ice, we can use it to make walls or stairs of ice right? After all, ice is physical, a solid material in the end.”

While playing the game of Tag with The God Titan —-  [TL note: here the author says Onigokko instead of Kamigokko]

If there had been an apostle of ice on the side of Fei, they could have made a new escape route by constructing and connecting ice-bridges with one building to another.

The person with ice-type magic, even apart from the actual game itself, can be easily made to play an active role.

“Will it be easier to understand if I were to say it as an Ability for Practical Use? The games with Gods are of many, many kinds, some happening simultaneously. Thus, having an apostle with useful abilities as your teammate.”

“……Muu~. Truly so.”

Reche sighs ‘yare-yare’ having her hands folded.

“Anyways, if I am there, all games are just a walk in the park. So then, it would be better to have an apostle whose power would be useful in other games, is what you mean?”

“Ah yes. Though those apostles would be fighting with other teams though.”

“Fu~un? And by the way, what type of ability would Fei want to have in his team?”

“What I can think, the ability I can think of right away would be, like for example Telepor—”

Just in the very moment…

Just above, the atmosphere distorted with a ‘Bu~on~TsU’ buzzing sound. And with a quick succession, a rainbow colored ‘ring’ appeared in void. From the other side of that donut shaped ring, footsteps of someone is heard.

It was indeed the same ability which I just now said—–

“A SPACE TRANSITION!?”

“Fei, that place is dangerous there, you know.”

Being pulled by Reche, Fei stepped back two steps.

In front of Fei, the sound of her light footsteps reverberating, a lovely girl appeared in front of him jumping through the shining ring from the other side.

…… A Teleportation ability User!

…… There was no presence of her moments ago. Did She Move Here From Another Floor Altogether!

A girl having light blonde hair.

Even though somewhat shorter in height than Reche, You can actually see the bountiful feminine growth just by looking at the bulges and curves on the prescribed Mystic Court clothes worn by her. Her fuzzy and lovely look is also just too adorable.

Such a girl had an incredibly sad expression expressed on her face.

“Someone you know, Fei?”

“Nope, not at all. It looks like she didn’t even notice us at all.”

That blonde girl was taking good care of a sealed letter. Perhaps desperately for that, unable to even notice the very person standing behind her.

And then proceeds to go straight towards the consultation desk.

“…… Oh?”

Looking at her appearance from back , Reche crossed her arms continuing to look (/assess) her.
