Labyrinth Restaurant

As early as two months have passed since the brave (me) met the demon kings. In the meantime, I and everyone around me were busy moving around or, conversely, playing with my hippos. I am the latter, by the way.

Preparations were also steadily under way for a meeting between the human and demonic worlds, and a splendid new capitol was built around the labyrinth, which is the venue. There are twenty relatively small small meeting rooms, including the main capitol (even if they are "small" they have an area of about three school classrooms) and several rest and dining rooms. Large hotels, hospitals, etc. were also built around the labyrinth in anticipation of a larger number of guests leaving.

By the way, the staff at those facilities are served by the Homunculus people. They are born with a certain level of expertise and skill, so each facility operates smoothly.

In addition to the buildings, they also paved the way leading from the labyrinth to the surrounding human city. The power of a workforce that doesn't need rest, such as golems and skeletons, and then doesn't need salaries, can be daunting. It's like a city suddenly appeared in a place where there's nothing anymore.

In doing so, the facades of conference participants from various countries began to arrive with potpouts. Due to the large number of people in high stature, some people bring in many carriages as if they were a queue of great names, and dozens of soldiers are letting them protect their surroundings whether they are wary of the Demons or not.

There will be at most a dozen people actually attending the meeting, but including even its attendants and escorts, the total number will be several hundred.

But he's ready, and he says there's no problem with over a thousand people instead of hundreds. Of course, they have medical care, bathing, and even souvenirs for everyone. There was no particular major trouble and preparations for the meeting went well.

One day, a familiar man, the king of the kingdom who summoned me to this world, arrived at this place.

"Long time no see, brave man,... apparently something strange is going on"

"Oh, thank you. I'm out of time."

"I hear about it in the report, but it's hard to believe. No way, the Demon King..."

"I was surprised, too, but Mr. Demon King was a very good man. Oh, I'll show you later."

"Ugh, um, nice to meet you..."

No, I'm really surprised. But I'm glad you're not a bad person. I also think I felt the nuance from the King's words: "I'm surprised at the lightness of the Brave (Omae) reply," but perhaps because of it.

"Aside from that, brave man. I need you to meet the Lord later. Do you have an appointment?

"No, nothing in particular. It's always okay."

Without battle, there is no brave man's work. Blah, blah. It's a hippo.

"Well, let's welcome you this evening. I'll see you later."

Having said that, the king went away from this occasion because he thought he had plans to discuss it with missions from other countries.

Introduction? Who is it? He seems like a great man when the king says "we are". I've been through a lot since I came to this world, but I'm nervous and I'm not used to talking to great people. As a matter of fact, I am treated as a "great man" in this world, but I still don't feel it.

And so forth, I thought at this time, it was not the "great man" whom I was to meet.

◆ ◆ ◆

Then a few hours later, I was guided by the king's subordinate to be in one of the newly built small chambers of the capitol. Those under my command have already left the room, and now only me, the king and the other three are in the large room.

The other person is presumably a young woman from her body silhouette, but I can't ask for her expression because she's hiding her face in the vale. This is what the person said.

"I am God."

... I suddenly got a difficult statement to react to.

"... Ah, uh, nice to meet you. My name is Lisa Ichitsubashi, and I'm here to make you brave."

In the meantime, I've returned my greetings.

…………

…………

Suddenly the conversation ended. Awkward silence flows. Should I even fly and warm up the air with one little joke here?

"... brave man, let me introduce you again to the rest of you"

Worried about how to break the awkward silence, the king who read the air gave me a help boat. I thought a long time ago, this king really cares.

"Do you remember that the ceremony that summoned your Lord to this world was given to my royal family by the Great Goddess?

"Yes, I remember?

Does that story have anything to do with this woman?

"You may not believe it, but this is the goddess, the goddess."

"Heh, that's amazing!

If it was Earth, I'd say, "I'm God," I'd just treat you like a freak, but somehow this is a world where magic and stuff are normal, so I'm sure that happens.

"Ugh, um..., the opposite is true when you can believe it so light..."

"Precisely because I do not have the flesh to operate in this world, I am possessed by the body of this Divine Son"

Is it like an octopus in the famous Aomori Prefecture Terrible Mountain?

Later I learned that ordinary clerics and witches can only hear that voice in fragments, and it is impossible to bring down God, no matter how much training he has. He says that the Divine Son, who can bring God himself down to him, is a rare being that draws a line with normal clerics, so much so that there is one person with that talent every hundred years.

"O brave man, the presence of the Divine Son is a secret of our country, so I'm sorry, but refrain from saying anything else."

"Yes, I understand"

It is also difficult for Shinko to say that existence itself is a state secret. What are you doing with your daily life or something?

... Oh, my God, such a fluent worry swept away from the back of my brain with your goddess remarks shortly after this.

'Now it is time to get down to business…, brave man, you are entering into friendship with the Demon King and are about to return to the original world with the ability to cross the world that the Demon King has. Is there any mistake in this?

"Yes, I do, though."

"That's impossible."

"Impossible?"

"The technique used to summon the brave, whereby your soul is bound to this world. Therefore, if you try to leave this world by any means other than the defeat of the Demon King, your soul will crumble to death '.

"... Huh?
