Seeing Olivia-san being shaken, I spoke to her in a voice as calm as I could.

[First of all, although Shiro-san had given roles to the Gods and Olivia-san, she didn’t say that you should do this or that, nor do I think that’s what she wished. Putting aside if it’s something you yourself want, Olivia-san, I think the way you said it earlier, about how that’s Shiro-san’s will is wrong.]

[………………..]

[Shiro-san said that she didn’t make it impossible for Gods to grow. She was even delighted with the growth of Fate-san…… the God of Fate…… and she wishes for the other Gods to grow too. I’m sure it would be the same case for you, Olivia-san.]

This is something I’m sure of. Shiro-san is happy and desires the growth of the Gods. Even the recent White God Festival…… held with the Supreme Gods Chronois-san and Life-san at the center, would be another step in growth for the Gods.

In fact, that festival seems to have increased the relationship between the Gods and the rest of the world, and Sky-san and the others even mentioned how it was a good opportunity for the Gods to change their perceptions.

If she were to say that Shiro-san wants Olivia-san to stay in the Cathedral unless necessary and just continue praying, I can assure her that that wouldn’t be the case.

[……Have I…… been mistaken?]

[I wouldn’t go as far as to say you’re mistaken. However, I think you may have been misunderstanding her a little bit…… but it’s never too late to do otherwise. Even now, you can start trying to correct as much as you want.]

After I had told her that much, I suddenly thought of something. There is a way to kill two birds with one stone in this situation, one that is beneficial to both me and Olivia-san.

[That’s right! If I’m not mistaken, Olivia-san, you’ve cleared your schedule for the rest of the day, right?]

[Yes.]

[In that case, how about you and I go sightseeing in the Friendship City?]

[Eh?]

As if she hadn’t expected what I had just said, Olivia-san looked shocked.

[Olivia-san, you’ve almost never been to any other places except the Central Plaza when the Festival of Heroes is held, right?]

[Yes…… but as the representative of the city, I do have a certain amount of information in my mind about the different divisions and shops.]

[I see, but in that case…… you would probably just “knowing” about it. Even if you know about it as knowledge, I think it’s very different to actually visit a place and see and experience it with your own eyes.]

[……Just…… knowing.]

[I don’t know if that will certainly give you an impetus for what to do in the future, but you’ll definitely find something new…… So, how about it?]

It’s an idea I just suddenly thought of, but I don’t think it’s a bad one. As for me, I can enjoy sightseeing in the Friendship City and there’s a possibility that I could get closer to Olivia-san, and this may be an opportunity for Olivia-san to change.

After hearing my words, Olivia-san closed her eyes and fell silent for a moment, before opening them again.

[……I understand. Whether this is necessary or not is something I’m not sure of but……]

[It’s settled then. But before that…… I’d like you to do something with what you wear first. Olivia-san, do you have any civilian clothing?]

Olivia-san’s attire is an extravagant priest vestment, an outfit that clearly identifies her as the Founder. If I were to be honest, she looks extremely inconspicuous.

She would definitely attract a lot of attention, especially here in the Friendship City, and there’s a high possibility that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy sightseeing in a relaxed manner.

On the other hand, because of how strong of an impression her outfit had, I don’t think people would notice her if she changed her clothes.

That’s why I checked it with her, but I don’t think she has any other clothes. After all, seh never goes out of the Cathedral except for the Festival of Heroes, and the outfit she’s wearing now would be the same one as what she’s wearing when the Festival of Heroes is held.

[I don’t own any other clothes.]

[I see…… Alice, sorry, but can I have something nice for her?]

[Yes, yes, alrighty.]

Her answer came back as I had expected, so I decided to ask for Alice’s help here. Anyhow, I think I would need to forcefully lead here when it comes to Olivia-san.

Thereupon, after handing a gold coin to Alice, she immediately understood what I was thinking and after horizontally moving her finger, the space in front of her opened up and created some sort of entrance.

[Well then, please get in the dressing room.]

[Huh? No, it doesn’t really matter if I stay in these clothes….. I mean, how can you make a subspace in this prayer room that’s under the influence of my ability……]

[With all the cutting I did as part of my training, I’ve already reached quasi-omnipotence level in this aspect. Putting aside Fate-san, who had been raising her capabilities as a God, I can do whatever I want against beings on the same level as the other Supreme Gods. Anyway, please quickly get in.]

[Wha……]

Ignoring the startled Olivia-san, Alice threw her into the spatial rift. From here, I can’t see what’s going on in the subspace beyond the rift, but I can still hear their voices.

[For the time being, let’s have you wear this and this……]

[No, like I said, I’ll stay in this clothes——- W- What are you!?]

[Ah, shut it, will you? I’m not asking for your opinion. Come on, strip already…… Heck, why the heck do you not wear underwear like Fate-san…… Haahhh, for the time being, wear this underwear too.]

[P- Please wait! At least let me do it my———– ! ? ! ?]

I heard something that sounded like an inaudible scream, but I think I’ll leave it to Alice…… For the time being, for the sake of Olivia-san though, I guess I’ll cover my ears.

Serious-senpai : [……In other words, you’re just freaking going on a date! D*mn it!!!]
