No matter what, I couldn’t just leave Arjen crying and clinging to me, so I had sex equally. So, Arjen and Wayne mixed up once, me and Wayne mixed up once, and me and Arjen mixed up once. In some ways, isn’t this true equality?

“Anyway, from now on, you can’t play around with it carelessly just because I’m away?”

“Yes… Yes hehe…♡”

After one rough session of sex, Arjen gasped and answered with difficulty.

“Just answer well, right? Apparently, after being treated harshly once, he decided to never possess me again.”

“You… It was so long ago, stop…”

done. Now that I’ve reminded you again, something like this won’t happen for a while.

“I was so tired for no reason in the morning. Shall we rest quietly tonight?”

While Arjen is half asleep, he secretly shares his wishes. However, Arjen caught me like a ghost and denied my words.

“No… I want to do it at night too…♡”

“Yeah, right. Then.”

I carefully petted Arjen. While I was carefully admiring her naked body, which was not wearing even a single layer of clothing, I felt a sign of presence at the entrance of the lair. Perhaps thanks to becoming a god, this sense of presence also seemed to have noticeably improved.

“Looks like someone came.”

Wayne’s eyes widened at my words.

“Huh? Really?”

I left Arjen to rest and headed towards the entrance of the lair with Wayne, and sure enough, someone was standing there. She was sweating profusely with a bundle bigger than her body tied to her back, and cow horns were growing on her head.

“Oh, hello!”

“Ah. It was Gyuri.”

Gyuri was a descendant of Ucinante, the merchant who had helped me learn that whiskey existed here. Even now, she often trades a bottle or two of alcohol, but today there was no bottle in her hand.

“Eujin. I found the location of the brewery you mentioned last time.”

“Oh, really!? Thank you!”

The green land was responsible for providing food for mankind, but at the same time, it also contained arable land for making alcohol. Most of the seeds are grains, and most of all, Arjen also likes me drinking alcohol.

I drink alcohol, and I vaguely understand why Arjen likes it, but regardless, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if I could drink alcohol too, so I decided to build a brewery around Rare and make alcohol with some of the crops.

The problem is that I only know how to drink alcohol, but I have no idea how to make it. Since I couldn’t search the internet in this world, I ended up having to get the know-how from the people who make whiskey here.

However, you can’t learn it from just anyone. I asked Gyuri about a place that distilled the whiskey that best suited my taste among the whiskeys I tasted here, and she finally found the distillery.

“Guide me right away! I’d like to say…but it’s not like Arjen can move right now. Just tell me the location.”

I could have easily gone there on my own, but the problem was Arjen, not me. After being forced to separate from each other by Akasha, Arjen was no longer able to stay in Lair alone. It was a shame because I was still inside the rare, and I didn’t know what would happen to Arjen if I took even one step further and got closer to Gyuri.

“Yes!”

After receiving the location of the brewery from Gyuri, I purchased other necessary items and said goodbye to her. Wayne, who suddenly had both hands full of luggage due to my impulse purchase, said to me.

“Okay… so what do you plan to do now?”

“Whatever… I have to take Arzen with me. I’m already excited.”

“Alcohol is nice, but today there is something more important than that.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“I guess the city has been completed. They say the festival opens today.”

There is only one thing that can be called a city here. It was a trading city under construction on the outskirts of the wasteland. I relished Wayne’s words.

“Tsk. Then there is nothing we can do. Because now it’s something I can’t leave out.”

Even if it were another city, it would have been right to participate in the ceremony commemorating the completion of the trade city. This is because it is the body that was intertwined with the green land, Stella, and gave me faith. Of course, even before the completion of the city, roads were cleared and crops were exported, but it was still enough to give the feeling that the completion of the city was just beginning.

“Arjen, Arjen.”

“Ugh…?”

Arjen seems to have regained his strength by now, peeking his face out from the blanket and answering. As I explained the whole story, Arjen yawned as if he was annoyed.

“Haaaam~ Really? Then I should go…”

Apart from the fact that she seemed completely uninterested, her body got out of bed and began to put on clothes. That’s because Arjen’s separation anxiety hasn’t improved enough for him to ask me to go alone.

“That’s right. Don’t you need to bring some kind of gift?”

Arjen’s words came to my senses. Now that I think about it, it seems that there is no such thing as going empty-handed at a simple housewarming event, but I almost went empty-handed even though Myeongsaek was the god who led the construction of the city.

“Uh… But I don’t have what I should have…”

Even though they say they are borrowing Arjen’s power for most of the work, starting with the clearing of the green land, it was a bit difficult to roughly bring in items from Arjen’s rare, even for things like this.

“Why don’t you have anything? You have faith.”

Wayne asked curiously. Of course, the words that came out of my mouth were fixed.

“Faith… I’m sorry, but unlike Stella, I can’t actively control this power yet. They say it’s because people still don’t quite understand what kind of god I am.”

“You don’t need to worry about that. It doesn’t matter just because of the faith itself.”

“What does that mean…?”

I thought it was completely incomprehensible, but I was immediately able to understand Wayne’s explanation.

“No, that’s right? To be honest, there are quite a few sacred objects in this world. But most people don’t know which god’s holy relics they are or what power they contain. It just feels vaguely sacred, so I guess it’s a precious item given to the underworld by God.”

“Yeah, really?”

“You can start by putting your faith in any object and later explain it according to what abilities it has. To put it to the extreme, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything.”

Simply put, the fact that it contains faith is important to humans. I nodded at the plausible words, but also thought it was funny. Isn’t it strange? Faith is not originally mine, it is a strength they gave me, but they are happy just to put it back in an object and return it to them.

“Anyway… Then I’ll look for something suitable and come back.”

Unlike the first time I came to this world, the second time I came over, I was backpacking, so I had left quite a bit of luggage in my backpack. While searching through various items, I found a gold ring. It was a solid gold ring that I had bought as a college student to protect against hunting, but I had forgotten about it in my backpack because there was a risk of losing it while traveling.

“This would be appropriate.”

Gold has a color that fascinates people regardless of age or age. Even a simple solid gold ring worth one dollar without any patterns or decorations seemed like it would be a worthy item if it infused faith.

“Ugh! no! I haven’t received a ring from Eugene yet!”

Thanks to Arjen, who was radiating jealousy, it almost ended in vain, but in the end, it was able to provide a variety of gifts.

***

“…Therefore, in the name of Flip Duneld Guzak, I bless the birth of the trade city ‘Eletrove’.”

Trade city. The King of Guzak personally concluded his speech in honor of the birth of the city that now bears the new name of Eletrov. When the ring was handed over at the right time, the reaction from those around him was explosive.

“Hurrah! hurray! Long live Eugene!”

It wasn’t easy to keep a poker face when everyone was praising my name, but I had to get used to having my face painted like this. That is, if you are going to live with the calling card of God from now on.

” Eugene, would you like to say something?”

The king made a suggestion, but after thinking for a moment, I shook my head. As I was counting down the days to see how my faith would manifest, I wanted to avoid going out in public and having something unexpected happen.

“How are you, Arzen…? no. You asked something pointless.”

King Gujak looked at Arjen, who was next to me with a disapproving expression. It seemed like he was still confused about the fact that I had made the ring into a sacred item. The way she puffed out her cheeks but never uncrossed her arms was quite cute.

“Today is a festival, so please enjoy it to the fullest.”

“Haha, yes. Of course.”

I wanted to enjoy it, but unfortunately I couldn’t enjoy it all night long. The priority was to appease Arjen.

In the end, I had to spend the whole night with Arjen. I even made a promise that someday I would propose with a nice ring.

“Hehe…♥ Yujiyin~♥ I love you!”

How should I propose…

There has never been a time when I missed the Internet more than this time.
