“So, these are all branches of the World Tree?”

“That’s right.”

“And that person is the daughter of the World Tree… So, the second World Tree?”

“That’s accurate.”

“···What on earth are you doing here?”

I don’t know why it happened like this either.

Somehow, things ended up like this.

I’m sure he was just going to quietly accept the tree branch, but why…?

“You know, Lily. When does the next episode come out? Huh?”

“World Tree… Can I take a break for a moment…?”

“No. Airi said you can indulge as much as you want. Once it’s completed, she wants me to serialize at least 3 volumes of the side story.”

“···Airi?”

Uh, uhm.

Even though I said that.

Now that I think about it, I said that because I thought one house had been taken out too much.

It’s not that there are no excuses.

Methuselah’s favorite novel has been completed. On the way back, in the carriage.

At first, Methuselah also liked it very much.

I read it over and over again and didn’t seem to get bored. Since it was my first time going to the outside world, I was amazed by the scenery outside.

But that’s only for a moment.

The same scenery you see over and over again, the carriage where you have to sit still, the complete version that you have already read.

It was natural that the childlike Methuselah quickly fell into boredom.

I couldn’t help but feel bored in the carriage, so just a little.

I only blew in a little bit of air.

Are you disappointed with the completion of the story?

Even though I said it was disappointing, I already felt like I gave too much to Lily, so I asked if I wanted to see the story after that, and it ended up like that.

I’m really sorry, but Methuselah has already taken the cake.

There is no way to solve it.

As I shook my head to indicate that I couldn’t get rid of it, Lily’s face turned into despair.

It’s the creator’s pain, accept it.

I could see how Lily would live in the future.

Every day, you hear Methuselah telling you to bring out the stories in your head.

When dark history was buried in the ground, the world tree clung to it.

Lily is also very unlucky.

“Can I enter the pantheon now?”

“Are you running away? Are you going in right now?”

“Yes, please.”

I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to the Pope for being generous.

Because I spent more time than expected.

It’s not some kind of RPG game, and as if it’s a trick to increase play time, the time spent traveling between two villages is only a week.

···Ah, it’s an RPG game.

Anyway, I have to go back soon.

I was already worried about how Damian was doing.

They say that because my face looks similar to mine, sometimes when I go out, I get mistaken for my younger brother or daughter. What if I get attacked in retaliation?

I mean, they did this and that to criminals.

I’m too strong to be attacked by bad guys, but what about Damian?

If he was at least a little stronger, there wouldn’t be any worries, but he was a kid who had a hard time even dealing with goblins.

I feel bad if I get kidnapped, so I really want to see his face.

Did Damien say he was a chick, a colleague who came out of his mouth every day? ···I still haven’t heard your name.

That friend should be taking good care of you.

“Then, please come this way.”

The Pope walks while holding a branch of the World Tree.

Lily and Methuselah decided to wait in the parlor.

Because they are children who have no business going to the pantheon.

It was already about ten minutes after I started walking behind the Pope that I realized what was strange.

···Why are you walking so leisurely?

Can’t we go a little faster?

Don’t you usually walk faster than this?

I complained in my heart to the Pope who was walking extremely leisurely.

It’s too slow.

I looked at my colleagues to see if I was the only one feeling a little sick, but they didn’t seem to think anything else.

…Am I really the only one who’s weird?

Something’s strange.

Of course, the temple was big… There is no reason to go this slowly, right?

What on earth is the reason?

While he was thinking that, the Pope, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

“···Do you all know about the legend of the pantheon?”

“A legend?”

Oh, fuck.

I realized this when I saw the Pope and his colleagues talking.

Isn’t this a cut scene?

This may be unthinkable in a AAA video game, but there is no cutscene skipping feature in cheap JRPGs.

Why? Don’t ask. Because I don’t know either.

If I accidentally lost the save data after the cutscene and started with the previous data, I immediately sighed.

It makes me wonder if the producers don’t know the importance of the skip function.

Moreover, they often appear out of nowhere without any warning, so it is difficult to anticipate them and save.

That’s why I developed the habit of making saving a part of my life.

I thought that the reason they suddenly became relaxed was because they entered a cut scene.

Usually, when you explain the worldview or enter an important place, a cutscene starts.

I got so annoyed that I tried to call up the status window.

···Why doesn’t it come out?

driving me crazy. Even though a cutscene is playing, the status window doesn’t even appear?

It’s varied, really.

If you look at the status window, it’s a feature of the game, so does that mean it won’t be supported if the game doesn’t support it?

I don’t know because it just dropped without any explanation.

I looked blankly at my colleagues who were talking about the pantheon without me.

pain.

Just looking at the cutscenes makes me sad.

Why on earth are they making cutscenes?

Do I really need to spend several minutes watching a scene that I can’t even Ctrl skip?

Games that cost billions of dollars are something to look at, so we look at them blankly, but there’s nothing like that in gay games.

Why do I have to look so blankly at the dots moving leisurely?

Status Window I don’t know what this guy wants to do.

I don’t have any presence at all, and sometimes I don’t even protest that I’m here.

It was the same when I failed at my first masturbation, and it is the same now.

Usually, it feels like a machine that only comes out when I call it.

In times like this, it seems to take the form of a game. What on earth is this?

“Okay, we’ve arrived. This is the altar.”

“···This is the altar.”

“Wow, I heard that story earlier and it seems like something more sacred.”

“Hehe, that’s what I told you to feel.”

After complaining for a while, it seemed like we had arrived.

···What is it, why are you talking about something that only you know?

I was going to say that, but then I remembered that I just wasn’t listening.

I don’t know. I just have to say it’s like that.

A completely different and godly appearance from the one shown in front of us.

The Pope, with his sly expression gone, took out a tree branch from his pocket.

As I gently placed the tree branch on the altar, a faint light came from the altar.

“Well, according to the literature, the pantheon will soon be revealed.”

“···Is it over?”

“Yes? Yes, but is there a problem?”

Isn’t there something sloppy about going to meet God?

I closed my mouth that was about to say that.

What can I say? Nothing will change anyway.

“No, it’s nothing.”

“You idiot. Anyway, how can I enter the pantheon in this state?”

Don’t you know either?

Did he notice my gaze? The Pope made an excuse.

“Actually, the content after this is not in the literature… Ah, haha. I don’t know either.”

Well, it wouldn’t be a lie to say that you can enter the pantheon.

Before I knew it, the status window that appeared again in the cutscene that had ended was informing me.

[Next goal! : If you meet the gods in the pantheon, something might happen…? ]

···But, it feels strange every time I see the goal in this status window.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it was a normal development.

At least, none of the games I’ve played had anything like this.

The fact that the game status window indicates the goal is not really helpful.

It’s just a small guideline.

Who is writing this? Or is it something mechanical?

I don’t know.

“···By the way, everyone. Isn’t something a little bright?”

“That’s right. It’s just like Euphie said. It’s definitely brighter than before.”

As the saying goes.

As I looked around the room, it had definitely become brighter.

“The light at the altar has grown.”

“Oh my, it’s true.”

The culprit was none other than the altar.

The light of the altar containing the branches of the World Tree was growing bigger and bigger.

“···For some reason, it seems to be getting a lot brighter than before.”

“Woah, it hurts my eyes! It’s too bright!”

A much brighter light than before began to emanate, and Lisbeth, an elf with excellent senses, complained of pain.

Suddenly, the dark interior was shining brightly.

“Oh, it’s so bright… what kind of principle is it?”

“When are you even paying attention to that?! I don’t know what happened! Pope, are you sure this is okay?!”

“···Well, I don’t know?”

“hey!”

We bickered with each other for a while.

Everyone, not just Lisbeth, was busy clutching their eyes with their hands as the light leaked from the altar so hard that everyone could not open their eyes.

···How much time has passed since then?

There was no more light, but when the eyes, which had already adapted to the bright light, regained their vision.

“···oh my god.”

“Why, what’s wrong with you, sister? ···Wow.”

Similar to the pantheon I saw last time, with us literally floating above the clouds.

However, a temple that looked much more sacred appeared before my eyes.
