In a Different World with a Smartphone

Third day of the festival. The finals of the chess tournament had begun early in the morning.

The four large monitors installed at the venue show 16 opposing stations.

Watching it from a distance, we sat in a stall chair lined up in the early morning, eating pork juice-style potatoes instead of breakfast. This is delicious again. I can't wait for the moist potatoes and the toothy radishes.

"There's going to be a final match for the chess tournament and qualifying at the martial arts tournament today, right?

Stop your hand from eating the potato stew and Yumina sitting next to you will talk to you.

"Yeah, Belfast, Leggles, Leaf Reese, Paloof, and Roadmare are all going to the chess tournament because the Kings are there, and Mismid, Lestier, Ethan, and Ferzen are going to the martial arts tournament."

For the martial arts tournament, we have a horse farm grandfather and an old man from Yamagata, but I don't know.

Are you still the King of the Knights of Restia as the winning candidate? If it's okay to use magic, there's also a Mismid Beast King with an "accelerator".

Of course there will be other hidden strong men out there. Even for free, there are many adventurers in this city. I think some people want to compete in an arms test.

"What will Winter Night do today?

Lou asked me what I planned to do so that I could make it myself, making sure it tasted like stewed potatoes.

"You won't be able to settle for the chess tournament until evening anyway, because the martial arts tournament is qualifying. I'll take a look around today. I need a church."

The martial arts tournament referee was taken on by Sister Tsugei and Sister Kanna, and you don't have to worry about it. Nicolas, our vice president of the chess tournament, has partitioned them.

"What do you do with Yumina and Lou? Belfast and Leggles are going to chess."

The martial arts tournament also featured Mr. Gaspar, the Knight Commander of the Leggles. Of course, change your identity and appearance, though.

I don't know if the Knights are going to these tournaments, but General Leon is out of Belfast, too. I have to find out, okay?

"My fathers are in chess, but I don't have any plans, because they don't care."

"So I thought I'd stay with you all day, winter night"

So did they ask you out early in the morning? Well, there's no reason to say no, is there?

We paid the price, returned the empty potato stew vessel to the stall owner, and we walked out.

Lou on his right hand and Yumina on his left take his arm as he leans in pitch. Honestly, I'm having a hard time walking, but can you look at them smiling happily and shake them off at me? No, there's no way I can.

They were both taller and growing considerably more than when we met, but they were both small and still look lower than their actual age.

From the feel of hitting your arm, it doesn't look like you're growing very well either......

If I still saw it from the side Ha, I guess I'd just look like my brother with two sisters.

"Winter Night?

"Hmm? Ya, nothing"

She replies flatly when she is unaware of them.

"Oh?"

Oh, there's still Brother Yasuke's piano playing on the clock tower stage today. Is that song... western?

My taste in western music is influenced by my grandfather, and there are many things that are biased against the Oldies. It's called 1950s to 1960s music. I mean, that's why I taught Brother Songsuke.

That song that Brother Yasuke is playing right now is also the standard number for rock 'n' roll, which is typical of the 1950s. That original performance was amazing because it was stacked as a record on Voyager No. 1 and No. 2 for extraterrestrial intellectual life.

No, what a movie there was about a protagonist on an automotive type time machine playing this song on guitar at a dance party in the past world. That was an interesting movie.

Anyway, it's a good song by Nori, so everyone I hear is shaking their body and getting in the rhythm.

Is that it? If you look closely, there are other people playing strings like guitar and percussion like drums in Brother Yasuke.

"That's..."

"It sounds like a traveling orchestra. They happen to have gone through this country. I was playing here yesterday with Yasuke."

The one who answered my crush was the owner of the store who was opening the stall with a chair lined up in the corner of the clock tower. I thought it was someone, our farming god, Uncle Kosuke.

"Hey, what are you doing!?

"They're selling curries made from our crops. I want to go to the festival too."

Uncle Kokusuke's stall, laughing at the thread, had a deep pot with curry and freshly cooked rice, and a crate placed next to him was loaded with various vegetables like mountains. And I realize that there is a boy who is stripping those potatoes and carrots indifferently.

"That!? Uh, you... were you a caron?

"Yes? Sure, I'm Karon... who was it?

The boy who was peeling the imo looks at me with a kyoton of eyes. Is that it? Oh, the effect of the badge. Uncle Kosuke didn't get through to me, so I didn't notice, but he was turned on. The center is turning yellow. Turn the badge to disarm blue.

"Oh, that, Your Majesty!?

Karon notices me doing it as she punches her eyes out.

The Caron boy is still being worked at the Inn "Silver Moon" today, Rantz, one of the knights who joined the regiment at the same time as you.

Because of his familiarity with crops and the pharmacist's lineage, he was assigned to an old man in Uchido and was tasked with farmland development.

"Because he's quite promising. I asked for your help."

I see. I don't even know. I was sourcing a variety of ingredients from the woods during the survival training for the enlistment test.

Even so, isn't it amazing that the farming god likes it...? I wonder if I can get God's protection.

"Are you two doing this stall?

"No, Mr. Laksche is helping me, too. Now they're going to get the seasoning. Mr. Laksche is most vulnerable to fire, so I can't handle the cooking."

Rakshee of Arlaune? Because that kid's a botanical demon. Hey, that wouldn't be a good fire. Sure, that kid was in the agricultural land development department too, so I don't know if Uncle Kosuke would like it.

Curry shop of the farming god? I'm interested, but I just ate a potato stew.

Whoa, yeah. It is precisely in the ears of Uncle Kosuke.

"By the way, around lunch, there's a world god in the church..."

"Hana Love tells me. But we don't mind."

"Is that okay? Haven't seen you in a while."

"Because it doesn't really bother me yesterday or thousands of years that it's a sense of God. If you want to see him, you'll see him in an instant."

I guess this feeling stays with God. I can't help it if I care, and if he says so, is he okay?

We walked away from the clock tower and looked around at the festival as we peered into the outdoor merchandise.

"This is..."

"It's a specialty figurine made in the north of Leggles."

Thunderbears with strange fish. Lou explains to me that he was looking at that wood-carved figurine that was sold at the dewstore.

There's something like this everywhere. I've heard that in our world, the number of craftsmen who make it is already decreasing.

"This one..."

"Descendants, this amulet doll wishes happiness would continue"

A doll like a cylinder. Separate it from the spoon up and down like an array to put in a diploma, and a similar doll comes out of it that's one small circle. When you open the doll, the smaller doll turns around earlier, and when you open the doll further, the smaller doll again...

That's it. of famous Russian souvenirs. This one is simpler to make.

Looking around the outhouse is interesting in another way. Some are similar to the world you were in, others you've never seen before. We spent the morning going around the open shop with Blah Blah, looking for things at the end of the day.

It's time for lunch, so we head to the church.

Built on a small high hill, this church usually just has one priest and two clerics seconded from the Ramish state. But now two more priests are coming.

He has changed his appearance with the badge I gave him, but he is the Pope of the Lamish, Elias Ortola, and the Cardinal, Phyllis Rugit, who is rumored to be the next Pope.

There are somewhat of those around who disguised themselves as adventurers, but those would also be the Sacred Knights of Ramish protecting the two.

There are a handful of followers of God of Light who believe in the Ramish nation, too, in our country. If "God of Light" is the world god, maybe I can say I'm a believer too.

However, from the standpoint of being a family member of God, I do not make it a public "snack", especially if it is a follower of someone who hits the family. You barely make it to church, either.

When we entered the diocese, the Pope, who became one of the priests in the harsh air, told the story of a miracle that had taken place in Ramish.

It is a so-called "miracle of Isla".

We are talking about an incident a year ago when a "God of Light" descended with the use of light to Isla, the capital of Ramish, to save the capital from the evil gods of darkness that were trying to cover Ramish.

This miracle spread instantly to the world, as it saw many witnesses, as well as those who were not believers and merchants outside Ramish.

I didn't try to believe it in most countries, but still many eyewitness stories tell me that I'm only certain that a miracle happened.

Actually, it's a mass fraud that I caused.

I think Ramish has been heading in a good direction since then. He put up an absolution mark, "In the name of God," etc., saying that no one works tyranny anymore.

The story ends under the Pope, and those who were in the diocese withdraw to the table.

When we tried to get under the Pope and towards Mr. Phyllis, which we had finished talking about, on the contrary, the two came from the other side early enough.

"Heh, Your Majesty! Hey, that's better this way already!?

"Uh, not yet."

Take my word for it and speak to the two disappointed people once more.

"Well, I'm not in such a hurry, but I'll be there in time..."

"I'm coming."

"Wow!?

I shout out to voices I hear directly from the side.

Directly beside me stood the world god with plain clothes and the same floating smile as usual. Oh, I'm surprised! This guy always appears too abrupt!

"Hey, don't be surprised! When did you get here!?

"Ho ho ho, just use the metastatic magic to pap. Oh, you two, it's been a while."

The world god speaks to His Holiness the Pope and to Mr. Phyllis. We both panicked and tried to kneel on the spot, but the world god slowly stopped it.

"There's something about your position. I don't need that kind of attention here. Nobody cares."

"Ha ha...!

I don't know. Aren't we both bees? I thought you were immune to Hana Love and Blade Sisters.

But I wonder if the fact that I'm here with metastatic magic means that this time it's not the body Avatar for minutes. Like the sisters, do you mean they descended humanized?

"Um... winter night, what about this one?

Yumina, who was watching us from behind, asks. Lou looked at this one with a strange look next to it.

Uh, how did you explain it...

"Hello, ladies. The eagle is Hope Mochizuki, God's Aid, Shinnosuke. I'm here. I'm not the one who hits your grandfather on the winter night of Hope."

The help of God. That's straight, dude. How about I give it to my grandson?

In contrast to me with a pulling, creepy smile, Yumina and Lou's expression turns to surprise.

"Mr. Winter Night's grandfather? Ah, but Winter Night is from other worlds..."

I put my index finger in Yumina's mouth and said, "God of the world." That's all they guessed. I suppose you thought of me as one of Sister Hana Love's and Sister Blades' kind.

"Thank you for your patience. I am engaged to Mr. Winter Night, my name is Yumina Elnea Belfast"

"Oh, I'm engaged as well, Lucia Rae Leggles. Sorry I'm late to say hello."

"Don't worry about it. Whoa, we're both apart. On winter nights, you'd be happy to have a wife like this."

God answers the two deeply bowed heads with a laugh. You were glad they told you not to, they were both lit up with their faces red. Damn, that's cute.

"Well, your grandfather can use metastatic magic, too."

"You can use most of the magic. It's a little hard to add and subtract."

"That's my grandfather for winter and night..."

Maybe you have all the attributes and a lot of magic, just like me. No, there may be no limit.

"Uh, the world... no, Grandpa? Have you met Sister Hana Love?

"Grandpa? Oh, Grandpa. Sounds good. When it comes to flower love, you're in love...... and, uh, you mean that kid. Yeah, well, those kids are gonna be grandchildren, too. We'll see each other soon."

Yumina and Lou face each other in our conversation. I can't help it because I'm an impromptu grandson and grandfather, this is...

Yumina and Lou know I'm from different worlds, but I don't think this guy is the supreme god.

"Let me tell you something here today, and then I thought I'd take a look around the city. All right?

"What's going on with your plans for this aftermath of the church?

"Ah, ha, yes! It's okay! I'll free up some time in the afternoon!

Mr. Phyllis answered me with a voice that was not yet free from tension. Next to it, the Pope snorted. Are you sure you're okay, these two?

But what are you gonna tell me?

Where the world had not yet defined its form, the Spirits had already existed there with their magical powers.

He said the Spirits became God's hands and feet, shaping the world and producing various things.

The Spirit of water filled the world with the sea, and the Spirit of the earth made the earth. The Spirit of Fire exploded the volcano and the Spirit of Wind carried warm air.

The Spirit of the Great Tree grew the forest, the Spirit of Light illuminated the world, and the Spirit of Darkness gave the peace of the night.

As the various spirits thus produced many things, a family of spirits was born in this world.

Various kinds of family members were born, including divine beasts and holy beasts, fairies, spiritual birds, divine trees, and finally, life such as beasts and subhuman and human beings such as elves and dwarves, he said.

God gave all of this world to the newborn, and himself went back to heaven.

For I thought that I should be without myself in order to make this world a better world.

"How did God get back to heaven?

A boy in the front row asks the world god who was talking about world generation.

"What we can do ourselves isn't because we thought we should do it ourselves. If there's anything you can count on God to help you, there's no beyond. I can't be alone without my parents."

Basically, the gods do not interfere in that world. That's why I didn't come back to life in my world. There is no resurrection of a dead man once in that world. Precisely because it is a miracle of God.

If it was this world that died, I might have come back. It's a high risk in this world, but resuscitation magic exists.

"You have been entrusted with this world by God. Every single one of us strives to make it a better world, and I wonder if that's what God would love the most."

The World God, who borrowed a priest's robe from under the Pope, looks over to those gathered in the diocese. We were all listening seriously to God.

"You can be small, do what you can for someone. That's all I need. That will be the pillar underpinning this world. There is no distinction there. Children, adults, men, women, kings, beggars, rich and poor, they're all the same. We can all be pillars of support for the world. Straighten up and live hard."

The world god gave a salute to everyone in the diocese and went down from the altar.

I see the Spirit helped God when he created this world. I've only met the Great Tree Spirit and the Dark Spirit, but it didn't seem like I had that much power.

Have you lost your power in the long run, or was it the power of world creation because you were served by God? At least not as powerful as it was at the time.

Because I busted it for the Dark Spirit. The Spirit may be resurrected because he seems immortal.

"Good luck. It was funny."

"No, sometimes this is good. Usually I just hear about the stupidity of other gods and there's nothing we talk about."

As he twisted his neck wondering what that was like, Pope Takeshita and Mr. Phyllis rushed over.

"Thank you so much for a great story! This story will be told to future generations in our country!

"It's not that big a deal... you can do whatever you want."

The world god laughs bitterly at the words under the Pope. Does this kind of thing also call it a trust? At least the story of world generation is likely to be incorporated.

"What do we do after this? I'd like to introduce you, if I may."

"It is. I'm gonna let you stay the night, so that's fine then. I'd rather walk through the city than ask for guidance.

"I'll do that for you."

It was Sister Hana Love who came from somewhere and interrupted our conversation. Why do the gods suddenly show up like this... I want them to show up normally because I already know about the divination.

Without moving into the sudden emergence of Sister Flower Love, a smiling world God speaks out joyfully.

"Oh, it's been a while. How you doin '?

"Thanks to you, I'm having fun every day. I'll give you more guidance than that, so Grandpa shouldn't interrupt your date on winter nights?

"Oh well. I've noticed this. Sorry, ladies."

"Yes, no, we don't"

Two people, Yumina and Lou, blush at the world god laughing in half the joke and wave their hands to the side in a hurry.

Apparently, Sister Hana Love will guide the world god, so I decided to leave it to her. Whatever happens, these two will be fine.

It seems that for some reason we are supposed to follow the Sisters of Flower Love, under the Pope and Mr. Phyllis, even the Ramish of escorts... okay?

In the meantime, we leave the church and the three of us head to the chess tournament venue. Shouldn't it be time for World War I to be over and into World War II?

Upon arrival at the venue, more people seemed to be watching the game than in the morning, but many had already finished the game, and the monitor showed the names of the winners and losers.

"Well, yeah, that's pretty much settled."

You know, Mr. Barral and Mr. Simon in the reflet, King Reef Reese, and Governor of the Roadmea State have already been defeated. Everyone is a pseudonym, except the people in the reflet, of course.

"Your father is defeated too."

Lou crushes so when he finds Emperor Leggles's pseudonym.

I mean, your counterpart to the Emperor, King Palouf. You seem to be working hard, that boy.

Looking around the venue, there was a group of people sitting in a chair in front of a nearby monitor and staring at the screen to eat in. That's a bunch of Leggles and Leafleashes.

We go to the group and speak to the Emperor and the King.

"Hello. Sorry to hear that."

"Oh, the Winter Night Hall? No, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I hope you can hold the Mahjong Games next year."

"I'm sorry I lost, but I figured out my flaws, and I'm not gonna lose next time."

I was horrified because neither of us seemed to care much about losing.

Looking at the screen on the monitor, Patchouli and the "silver" pawn moved. Reacting to it, both sires leak a difficult voice.

"This opposing station..."

"It's King Paloof and King Belfast. No, it's quite an interesting counter-state."

Those two. He is good at defeating His Majesty the Emperor of the Leggles. Isn't King Belfast struggling, too?

Now the "silver" is at the hands of the Boy King, come this way, here's the thing......

"... why don't we just take" silver "with" flying "?

"No, that's an" invitation ". It could be a handful to upset the equilibrium. It would be harder not to get your hands on the detour."

Gaze again at the Monitor in the words of Emperor Leggles. Really? Uhm, to be honest, I can't keep up anymore......

So is baseball, but people in this world don't have half the speed of improvement once they get in. Well, it's a less entertaining world, so I guess when I get hammered, I even go to Tokoton.

These kinds of enthusiasm have to be apprenticed. Looks like I'm no longer a chess amateur.

In the meantime, the chess tournament is still going to take a little while, so why don't you take a peek at the martial arts preliminaries? The adventurer acquaintances might be out there.
