Chapter 33 – Idle Talk: Dating and Wataru’s Stone Selection

The day has finally come. I am now waiting for the God of Gastronomy-sama in the church on the Chris. I’ve opened the Castle to the public and introduced it to royalty, nobility, and even wealthy merchants. I am sure that I will be able to get the lap cushion of the God of Gastronomy-sama. If the God of Entertainment-sama still refuses, I’m ready to reject him on board.

With a whoosh, Creator God-sama and God of Light-sama appeared.

“It has been a long time. It’s a new ship today, isn’t it? I’m looking forward to it. See you later.”

Without hearing an answer, he ran away. …As usual. I had some questions I wanted to ask Creator God-sama, but oh well.

“Wataru-san, it’s been a long time. I’m sorry about the Creator God-sama.”

“No, no, it seems like he was looking forward to this, so I am glad too.”

Just being able to talk to the God of Light-sama makes me forget about the Creator God-sama.

“I am glad to hear you say that. So, Wataru-san, am I free to go on this new ship?”

I love the slightly worried smile of the God of Light-sama.

“Yes, you are free to do as you wish.”

“Thank you very much. Also, I would like to ask you to reappoint the goddesses to staff the spa, etc.”

“Yes, no problem. The same procedure as last time, right?”

“Yes.”

While I was talking to God of Light-sama, the gods appeared and left the church. The God of War-sama also raised his hand slightly and went out for a drink! He left with words that were unintelligible, but I could understand his intention. I must be careful not to get involved with him.

“Otherworlder, may I speak with you?”

“Yes, what can I do for you?”

The God of Magic-sama, who usually just raised his hand and walked away, spoke to me in an unusual way.

“Hmm… I have a book I’m reading on the Castle…”

I understand what he means. The God of Magic-sama must know that he can’t do anything about it, so he doesn’t speak any further. I wonder what book he’s reading.

“There’s a library on this ship, so if it’s a well-known book, there might be a copy of it here. If not, it may be some time before we can exchange the Castle for this ship, so could you wait until then?”

“Well, if there is a chance that I can read it, then no problem. I am sorry. Then I will enjoy the books on this ship.”

The God of Magic-sama walked away after saying that. The God of Magic-sama goes to the library at a slightly faster pace. I hope he enjoys it.

“Um, God of Light-sama. Are there not many books in the divine realm?”

“No, there are many. But since he’s a god, he reads them all for a long time, right? Books from other worlds seem to satisfy the curiosity of the God of Magic, and he is very pleased with them.”

“I see what you mean. I’m glad he enjoys them.”

“Fufu, yes, he is enjoying them very much, so don’t worry.”

When the male gods left the church, the God of Gastronomy-sama, the Goddess of the Forest-sama, and the God of Entertainment-sama appeared.

“It’s been a long time, Wataru-san. I’m looking forward to the food on the new ship.”

“It’s been a long time, Wataru-san.”

“Otherworlder-kun, it’s been a long time.”

“God of Gastronomy-sama, Goddess of the Forest-sama, God of Entertainment-sama, it’s been a long time.”

Now the three great deities in my mind are all here. It’s a wonderful sight. I try not to make eye contact with the God of Entertainment-sama.

“So, um, God of Gastronomy-sama, I think I got a result this time. What do you think?”

“Ufufu, it’s all right. I’ve made sure that the Castle has been opened to the public. I’ll keep my promise, don’t worry.”

I look at the God of Entertainment-sama with trepidation. He looks a little bored but doesn’t seem to have any complaints.

“Fufu, don’t worry about the God of Entertainment; he’s fine. He’s convinced, so there’s no problem.”

“Boo, you could be a little more persistent. I told you that if you rewarded him now, he would leave the Castle alone, you know.”

“That’s enough. Even if he leaves it, it will continue to expand. Then, as a god, I must keep my promise. I hope you’re looking forward to it.”

That’s terrible. Even though I had reached the goal, the God of Entertainment-sama wanted to take the carrot away from me. I really want to reject him from boarding.

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”

“Wataru-san, now that we are all here, can we continue?”

While I was talking to the God of Gastronomy-sama, all the goddesses seemed to have arrived. After a quick check, we went on a date. Which comes first, a date with the Goddess of the Forest-sama or the God of Gastronomy-sama? I’d be happy with both, but we’d have to discuss it after the staff appointment.

We entered the spa, and I appointed the goddesses to the staff. The goddesses are excited about the new spa. Next are the various shops. The appointment went smoothly as if they had already decided which stores they would work at when they came to Chris.

“This is the last one. What else should we do?”

“I’m going to take a look at the new ship.”

The God of Light-sama is touring the ship?

“The rest will be… me and the Goddess of the Forest. Normally, the Goddess of the Forest would have a date with you on the first day, right? This time, I’ll go with you, but what are we going to do?”

“I don’t mind either way, but it might be better to start with the God of Gastronomy. It would be better to fulfill our agreement as soon as possible, wouldn’t it?”

“Well, that’s also true. Is that okay with you?”

“Yes, I would be happy with that.”

Well, which is better first? I was sure I would spend a day worrying if someone asked me which one I wanted first. I’m glad they decided for me.

“In that case, I’ll go take a look around the ship.”

The Goddess of the Forest-sama had also gone for a walk. I would like to have a harem date with the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama.

“Well, then, it’s a date. Will you be escorting me?”

…I was just thinking about the God of Gastronomy-sama’s lap pillow and ear wax. There’s only the luxury class, which is classy, and unlike the casual class, there’s not a lot of entertainment to get fancy with. If it’s a date, the Castle might be better.

“I agree. I don’t live on this ship much either, so how about we spend the morning looking around the ship, then lunch, then the pool, then an ear wax?”

“Ara, you’re telling me in advance how our date is going to go? That’s not good, you have to keep it a secret, or it won’t be as exciting, right?”

Even if you say that, I’m not prepared for anything, am I? Is there a recommended dating guide for the Chris issue in the library or something?

“Haha, God of Gastronomy-sama, it seems I’m in no way capable of a sophisticated date. I’m asking for a guide on how to have fun together.”

“Really? Then let’s have fun together. I’m sorry I was so mean to you when it was supposed to be a reward for your hard work.”

“No, I’m honored just to be with you, so there’s no problem at all.”

Seriously, what kind of luck would it take to get a date with a goddess? The odds of getting a date with a goddess seem to be less than the odds of winning the lottery.

“Well, let’s take a look around, shall we?”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

I was a little scared when she suddenly crossed her arms with mine.

“Ara, is that wrong? In the movies, they cross their arms when they go on a date, right?”

“No, they do, but I’m not used to it, so I’m surprised. Shall we go?”

Movie… I don’t know what movie this is, but I appreciate it. Probably a great movie. Walking with crossed arms. A date with a beautiful woman with big breasts and great style… This is not a dream, is it? The feeling of being hit by accident. You can guess, can’t you?

“I have seen it in the divine realm, but it has a different atmosphere than the Castle. It’s so calm; I like this kind of atmosphere.”

“That’s right. It seems like the ship is designed for a quiet and elegant time, not for everyone to enjoy themselves together. This ship puts a lot of effort into its cuisine, so I’m sure God of Gastronomy-sama will enjoy it as well.”

“Fufu, since you spend all your time on the Castle, I haven’t seen much of this ship’s cuisine. Japanese cuisine, or is it from your hometown? That dish was also very interesting.”

“The Castle will be out of service for the time being, so I tried to enjoy it as much as I could. From now on, this ship will be the mainstay of my life. I want the God of Gastronomy-sama to learn Japanese cuisine, so please do your best. I look forward to your home cooking.

“I have confidence in my cooking. Leave it to me.”

She is reliable. And because she says it with her chest out, her full breasts look delicious.

“I count on you.”

As we talk, we look around the ship’s shops. The God of Gastronomy-sama is pleased with the food, so we tend to look around the restaurants. It seems we can enjoy a cup of tea in the cafe, then lunch in the main dining room, Japanese, Italian, or even a casual lunch in the courtyard.

I look around the shopping arcade. Even though I’m not interested in clothes, there are brands in there that I know. The luxury cruise ships are amazing.

“God of Gastronomy-sama, I was just wondering, would it be disrespectful if I bought some jewelry here and said I wanted to give it to you as a gift?”

“A gift? Fufu, yes, it would be a gift. Hahaha.”

“Did I say something funny?”

“No, there is nothing wrong with you. But until now, it was just a formality as an offering, but when I thought it would be a normal gift here, I felt a little strange.”

Ah, I see. Normally, humans cannot see the gods, so it is more of a dedication to the temple than a gift, right?

“I see. Then is it bad to give a gift?”

“No, if it’s alright with you, I’d like to have it. It would be wonderful to receive a gift. Oh, but please give the Goddess of the Forest a gift as well. I know you didn’t give it to her because you asked me if it was bad, right? You can’t just give a gift only to me, and you can’t differentiate between us even though we are on the same date.”

Yes, she told me to make sure to give gifts to other women as well. It’s so sad and hopeless. Well, it’s enough if I can walk around with her and even get her to rub my ears. I mean, she’s a goddess, right?

“I understand. I’ll make sure to give it to the Goddess of the Forest as well.”

I want to give it to the God of Light-sama as well, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to just give it to her out of the blue. If there were a reason, like a date, it would be more reasonable, but it would be difficult.

“Thank you very much. I wonder what you’re going to pick out for me?”

Of course, I’m the one who chooses… but wow, she’s so cute. Fufu, if that’s what you want, I’ll get it for you. I’ll buy it, but… It’s going to be a thing, apparently.

“I will seriously choose. By the way, what would you prefer, a necklace or a ring?”

“Ara, I don’t mind whatever you choose, you know?”

“Please, give me a hint. If I can’t find a direction among these many, I won’t be able to reach the exit.”

A date was not traumatized by the selection of jewelry on the southern continent. Without a clue, I’m stuck. It’s so unexpected because I was imagining a simple exchange of choosing together somehow and saying, “Well, let’s choose this one.”

“Don’t look so tearful. Hmm, okay. Since I’m cooking, I’d rather have a necklace than a ring.”

“I understand. I’m sorry, could you please go outside for tea?”

“Fufu, okay.”

I saw the God of Gastronomy-sama leaving the store, and with great enthusiasm, I picked out a necklace. The luxury goods are all good-looking accessories. In this case, I’ll have to choose in the direction of suiting the God of Gastronomy-sama.

A great style, white skin, and a bewitching atmosphere… It could be diamonds or rubies. I want to ask the clerk I appointed in the morning for advice, but she seems to have been listening to me and is looking at me with a “good luck” look on her face. I can’t ask her.

I’d like to appoint myself as a staff member, but I feel like that’s a bad idea. I guess that means she wants me to choose one based on my own sense of taste. It may sound rude to say this, but I feel that diamonds are safe and secure. Diamonds come in many different shapes.

A stone can’t be in the shape of a cross, can it? It’s a symbol of the Earth’s religions, and I don’t think the shape of a heart is right either. After much deliberation, I decided to go with a single large diamond necklace.

There is no need for unnecessary ornaments. Let’s go with a large diamond and a platinum chain. If the design is unique, it will clearly show whether it suits her or not, and that is dangerous.

I gave it to the shopkeeper, the goddess, to see her reaction. There is no reaction. She is certainly losing her expression. My anxiety skyrocketed. I shouldn’t have said I wanted to give her a gift.

I nervously left the store and went to see the God of Gastronomy-sama, who was having tea in the cafe. I’m sure the God of Gastronomy-sama will accept it with a smile, no matter how strange it is, but I hope she’ll be happy with it anyway.

“Um, God of Gastronomy…”

“Ah, it’s you, Wataru-kun.”

Why is Creator God-sama showing up at this time? Did I do something wrong?

“Hey, Wataru-kun, I lost at the casino on this ship as well. Hey, why? That’s strange. I am the Creator God. It’s absolutely crazy.”

…What am I going to do? It has been a long time since Creator God-sama has seriously annoyed me.
