‘What do you mean, too much? You don’t tell me anything important.’
There was deep resentment in the Heavenly God’s voice, but I glared.
Honestly, you only pop up when things get like this. It’s not me who’s being too much; it’s you, Heavenly God!
– ……It’s still not the right time. But the time will come soon……. Still, I can tell you one thing today. I’m going to give you the answer you’re curious about, so please don’t get too upset. It makes me sad when you’re angry.
‘What are you going to tell me? Really?’
I couldn’t believe it, but I straightened up anyway.
This tank shows the outside from the inside, but you can’t see the inside from the outside.
I didn’t want to show the scene of talking with the Heavenly God when the priests and the Pope might be lined up in the hallway, so it seemed better to finish all the stories inside here.
– It would be best to get to the point for you, right? My lovely incarnation has a rather impatient personality.
What is he trying to say?
I was puzzled because the Heavenly God rarely dragged out words like this.
God always just threw out the main point and disappeared, saying that the time he could ‘interfere’ in this world was very short.
“Who… is talking right now?”
Ah, right. Yuri was here.
Yuri had a confused look on her face.
I was about to tell Yuri that it was okay, but I paused and tilted my head.
“Can you hear this voice?”
“What voice are you talking about? And what’s an incarnation?”
“You can really hear everything? The voice of God?”
That can’t be.
Why would a saint be a saint? Because she is the one who can hear the words of God.
If everyone could hear it, how could she be a saint?
That’s why I was genuinely taken aback.
Did the Heavenly God deliberately let her hear it? Why?
– She is my precious child. As you know, I cannot interfere too much in your world. Because my brother and I are light and shadow… the brighter the light, the darker the shadow becomes. The more I move, the more my brother has an excuse to move.
It was the first time I’d heard this story, but it wasn’t hard to understand. It sounded plausible enough.
‘Of course, there are two gods, so one can’t just do whatever they want.’
The Heavenly God also doesn’t step forward in order not to give the Evil God an excuse.
I understand what you mean… but so what?
– So we sought out humans who would carry out our will, and that is the incarnation and the contractor.
Yuri is also listening to what I am hearing now.
I glanced at Yuri, who was frowning, an expression unusual for her, and she seemed to be deep in thought.
– As you know, the incarnation is you. My child. The only one I love and cherish… Of course, you can only have one contractor. Because we made that promise.
Then who is the contractor?
Before I could even finish thinking, the Heavenly God whispered.
– Isn’t she in front of you? Another child who can hear my voice.
In an instant, Yuri’s face brightened up.
Like the sun rising on a dark street without a single ray of light, chasing away even the shadows hidden in the corners, I sighed at the purple eyes that were filled with life again.
God, if you truly cherish me, you shouldn’t do this.
– The
Whether he knows my heart or not, God continued in a light tone.
Just listening to the tone, it seemed like he was happy to finally introduce her.
– I’m revealing this now, but I actually lost you once. You, who should have lived as my saint from the beginning, were thrown out of this world because of the Evil God’s incarnation’s wish.
Raheen’s first wish.
Make her a ‘saint.’
‘Are you saying that’s why I was thrown out?’
When I asked in my heart, God affirmed.
– That’s right. Originally, you were destined to be born as the daughter of King Arkalik and receive my love to the fullest… but that was twisted. I showed you the story of the place where you were supposed to live in the form of a book to you, who had been thrown out to the outside of the dimension. So that you can know about Raheen and the people of this world in advance.
Wait a minute. Then, if Raheen hadn’t made that wish……
‘Didn’t I not have to repeat those many deaths and rebirths?’
Couldn’t I have just lived happily with my dad from the beginning here?
I staggered for a moment at the dizzying thought.
Yuri grabbed me with a surprised look, but I immediately pushed her hand away and gave her a resentful look.
– It was difficult to get you back. Really… it was difficult. After that, every time I tried to make you born as a human, the Evil God interfered.
I have lived many lives.
Trying not to go crazy, believing that this was just possession of a book.
But…….
– I felt uneasy. I felt the need to record your life somewhere in case the same thing happened again. Then, even if the same thing happened, I could read the record and find a way.
So, it’s like an external memory storage, something like that? Like a diary that someone else writes for you?
‘That’s Yuri’s ability? That she can see everything I do?’
I was speechless at the absurdity.
“Sister, you’re acting strange.”
“……Huh.”
“It sounds like God is saying that we are destined to be together. Don’t you think so, Sister?”
Yuri, who already had a glazed look in her eyes, whispered dreamily.
I desperately wanted to deny it, but I didn’t have any faith left to find.
What should I do if Yuri says that before she properly reflects…! Besides, she said she had the book since she was born!
If you make a contract with a newborn baby, it’s a fraudulent contract!
– ……It’s not wrong, but doesn’t she like it so much? Besides, her appearance is quite sacred, so it suits the position of contractor well…….
The Heavenly God made a poor excuse.
Yes, God may not be interested in human emotions since he is a god. He might not care.
‘But giving me a book that records everything about me is too much!’
Take that power away right now. Take it away!
As I flared up like a fit, I felt the invisible divine power trembling strand by strand.
“So… I hope you can explain exactly what the difference is between a contractor and an incarnation.”
Yuri, who was practically dying when she first came here, was now full of life and fluffy.
I gritted my teeth, but I still wanted to hear the answer because Yuri’s question was spot on.
– To put it simply, an incarnation is like a child… and a contractor is like giving a high-interest loan?
High, what?
It would be easier to glare at the spirit in front of me, but it was difficult because I could only hear the voice without seeing anything.
I waited for an answer, suppressing my grumbling breath.
– The incarnation can use the divine power I give as much as they want, but they don’t have to give me anything in return. The predetermined fate will eventually make them fulfill what I want. But the contractor must pay the price for using my authority.
“What do you mean by price when you made me a contractor without my permission when I was a baby….”
Grinding.
As I muttered, grinding my teeth like a millstone, I felt as if the energy filling the tank was sweating coldly.
– Th, that’s why I don’t receive anything from Yuri. Originally, I should receive it…….
“What do you originally receive?”
– I receive offerings. Building temples, gathering believers, offering prayers, lighting candles, and offering food.
The Heavenly God answered hastily.
I cursed under my breath, but Yuri looked very pleased next to me.
She seemed very, very happy that she became the Heavenly God’s contractor without paying any price.
“I wondered why the protagonist of that book was Sister… Why it had to be Sister. I was so worried… but the reason was obvious.”
Her voice is as sweet as if she had fallen into a honey pot.
Yuri knelt down on one knee in front of me, holding the back of my hand that I had hit.
“Because it’s fate, us.”
If someone who didn’t know the inside story saw it, they might have screamed with joy. But I had nothing to show but a disgusted expression.
“……Raheen made a wish. Three of them. Don’t I have any wishes I can make?”
– Unfortunately… ‘wishes’ are a separate matter. I can grant them, but the price is terrible.
“How terrible is it….”
– There are only three wishes I can grant. The price is the soul. It becomes the fertilizer of God and can never be reborn. The Evil God seems to enjoy that, but I don’t want to do that.
To summarize, I, the incarnation, can use the divine power and so on given by God without any cost. But Yuri is only a contractor, so she has to perform sacrifices.
But since it was a contract that the Heavenly God made arbitrarily when she was a baby, he said he wouldn’t receive anything.
You can make a wish, but if you grant it, you will lose your soul.
Having heard that far, I suddenly became curious.
“Raheen is the Evil God’s incarnation.”
I’ve never seen her face, but I already know her from the book.
Then…….
“Please tell me who the Evil God’s contractor is.”
Anyway, no matter how much I ask him to tell me this and that, God will never tell me everything at once.
Then it was in my best interest to focus on the key points.
