Act 1: Chapter 67: Observation Diary of A Certain God(Side : Nyarlhotep)

By the time Kanata had left Garland’s collapsed mansion after taking care of the 《Evil God Apostle; Notes》, Nyarlhotep, the God who’d sent Kanata to Rookroa, was inside a pure white room in the upper world. There were several magic circle-like things that were floating around him in addition to dimensional cracks.

「Fufufu, I see that you’re doing your best over there... my favorite transferers. All of you are growing nicely. The egoistic Iijuin-kun is exercising his charisma to the limit. Otogino-kun is a boring guy, but thanks to my gift he’s still become a hot topic...」

The gods, like Nyarlhotep, kept things moving behind the scene to regulate and rebalance Rookroa, the world where Kanata had been sent to. Every single one of them held their own duty. There was a god whose duty was editing the amusing records of the world, one who investigated the trends amongst the superior gods and implemented them in Rookroa, one who supervised all those processes... The whole operation was divided into roles down to the minute details.

Amongst all those gods, Nyarlhotep’s duty was sending in transfered people, creating the Demon King, giving divine revelations to the big shot, etc. In short, his duty was to create drama in Rookroa.

At times, Nyarlhotep would bring a prosperous country to ruins, or bring sorrow to an excellent magician or swordsman, or else, they* would create the 《JinMaRyuu》 as an artificial enemy for the transferred people they’d sent to Rookroa. [ED : Going to refer to Nyarlhotep with ‘they’ pronouns since it isn’t clear what the gender is.]

Even when tracing back far into the past, Nyarlhotep was the one who’d instigated the kings of various countries to seal the 《God of Fear; Zorophilia》, who’d been made to control the world by the humans of that time.

For the sake of providing entertainment for the superior gods, he never stopped his work with hindering the attempts of the alchemists to create a human-made god whose true purpose was to hunt down the 《JinMaRyuu》 or Demon Kings.

「Takanashi-chan... has become a boring character now. Well, she’s popular for sure, but I can’t bring myself to like her current self... I can’t expect any more change from her after this... good grief, even though I painstakingly prepared the stage for her... she does nothing at all. If she doesn’t care about it anymore, I guess she’s lost her bite after enjoying a cozy life over there. No matter how you want to live a peaceful slow-life, what we want is a life full of adventure where you want to fulfill your greed with your everything, NOT THIS F*CKING HOME DRAMA!!!」

Nyarlhotep then heaved a sigh.

「Well, whatever... I’ve already prepared a huge event for us. I’ve prepared Alice-chan for that after all. After that... I guess I’ll make the preparation so that Otogino-kun or IIjuin-kun will meet Alice-chan later... Fufufu, this is getting more and more exciting. Since I’ll be troubled by a rare chance, Iijuin-kun, my superstar, dies... I guess Otogino-kun is the only choice left.」

While Nyarlhotep was busily observing the situation in Rookroa from the dimension rifts, a voice suddenly resounded throughout the white room.

「My familiar.」

「Master, what business may I help you with today?」N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

It was the voice of Nyarlhotep’s master, a superior god.

Time and space weren’t a big deal for superior gods. Their voice could reach all dimensions and resound in all places in the world regardless of distance.

「Is it to praise my achievement and raise my rank. But...」

「My familiar, I had expectations in your ability, but you’ve disappointed me. Do you still remember the man called Kanata Kanbara?」

「Kanata Kanbara... who?」

Nyarlhotep tilted their head. Apparently the matter regarding Kanata had long since been forgotten by him. Because for them, a dead human was even less than trash.

「Another familiar has already collected the 《Memory Sphere》 to investigate how he achieved such an unbelievable feat and confirmed it. In addition... the lich girl, Lunaire has also left 《Cocytus》. Now then, do you know what I want to say, my familiar?」

「... Ha-T-This blunder is my fault!」

「Yes, that’s right. You plastered mud on my face. Your blunder will soon become my blunder too, turning me into a laughing stock amongst the superior gods.」

Nyarlhotep cowered even further upon hearing that.

There was nothing more terrifying than the disappointment of the superior gods for a lesser god like Nyarlhotep.

「P-Please leave this matter to me, I’ll fly straight to Rookroa and kill those two to fix this blunder!」

「You mustn’t do that! You know the reason, right? Our business is selling ultimate reality in the form of entertainment. Excessive interference to the world is something that you must never do... because doing that will make the other gods lose interest in Rookroa, which also means... the end of you.」

「U-Ugh.... GG...」

「You must eliminate those two as soon as possible. Use anything within your disposal as long as it doesn’t violate our rules, and make sure that you’re not leaving any trace of your involvement behind. And if you keep disappointing me, you know what will happen to you, right? This problem will become more and more troublesome as time goes on.」

「Y-Yes... my master. I’ll deal with them immediately, and then, I’ll make sure that such blunder won’t happen again... ever. T-That’s why, please... be lenient with this humble servant!」

Nyarlhotep fell to their knees, kneeling towards their master. The lesser god’s face was drenched in cold sweat.

「That’ll depend on your performance with fixing this mess. In case you fail to fix this mess... you know what will be waiting for you, right?」

「I-I understand.」

With that, the voice of Nyarlhotep’s master cut off.

Nyarlhotep sent a resentful glare towards a particular dimensional rift at his side.

「Kanata Kanbara... I’ll make you pay back the humiliation for embarrassing me! I’ll make sure that you’ll suffer without being able to die!」
