Reincarnation Monarch

"... well, you're here..."

Shester answered with a slightly broken tooth.

Then Lombardo also said something that caught on.

"... right. I'm sure there's more to God than you say there is to El... but I don't know what it is... it doesn't seem to be what we thought it was... no, I didn't believe anything else when I said I was thinking..."

"Right. You feel like you're really close to a human-smelling god, like you're portrayed in primitive religions, not as a god as a totally indispensable being who sees everything through omnipotence, like the three great religions preaching in alleys?

"Right. I think so too. Anyway, that's exactly what El is."

"Yes, I mean the cat king, but with the exception of him, he's totally human."

"It's not even Roku, Grandpa."

"Right. The last six years since we met in that Lug Forest have been a total grain crush."

When they said that and looked at each other, they laughed happily for a while.

"You're busy working for us right now, though, aren't you?

Shester said, shrugging his shoulders and leaning his little neck.

"Oh, right. It's like a human being, too. I'm sure the annual wheel is so overlapping that it's distracting to us, don't you think it doesn't look so much more mature?

"I do. I get angry a lot."

"Oh, man, the old man looks more mature to me"

"... if you ask me. That's true..."

"... maybe God is the same as Elle... the stories of the gods I heard from Elle before were still truly human stories"

"You did. Anger, joy, mourning, jealousy… it was a truly human world similar story with all kinds of emotions"

"It's Chester. Are they fulfilling God?

Shester was a little confused by Lombardo's query.

"... what does that mean? ……

"What, the meaning as it is. I guess they are indeed holders of transcendent abilities. But... maybe that's all it is? I am not particularly aware of the truth beyond human understanding, nor have I gained all the knowledge of the world. Doesn't it just exist that you have special abilities?

"... I mean, my abilities just developed abnormally... wondering if I was originally human?

Lombardo nodded slowly and loudly at Shester's inquiry.

"It's just an idea. But I don't feel like I'm hitting it, Shester. The idea that they were once just human beings..."

Lombardo buried himself deep on the couch with a sinister face.
