“Bringing people into this harsh world on your own whim, and even hiding shocking truths… They say there’s no one to trust in this world, and now I can’t even trust gods…”

 

As I burst into lament over the betrayal, the Sun God hastily threw a message.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ hurriedly tries to calm the user, saying let’s talk again after learning the truth first.】

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ scolds ‘The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’, asking why they did that.】

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ shouts loudly, asking if they did it alone.】

 

“So you two did work together on something…”

 

At least it’s certain that the Sun God and Annihilation God are in a collaborative relationship.

 

Then what about the Sea God?

 

Considering the personality shown in the original work, and how they don’t appear here.

 

They must be walking a different path from the two gods after all.

 

But right now, there was something I was more curious about than the Sea God.

 

“Can I only properly hear about ‘Evil’ after exceeding 40 percent divinity?”

 

The two gods, who had been fighting while hitting each other’s message windows, showed affirmation.

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ answers that it’s correct.】

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ comforts the user, saying not to be too impatient since you’ll find out soon anyway.】

 

【They recommend that building up divinity to increase power should come first.】

 

“Whose power? The Sun God’s power?”

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ breaks out in cold sweat. Of course that’s important too, but the user’s power is also important…】

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ mocks them, saying to just confess honestly that your power is the goal.】

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ goes to punch ‘The Traveler Who Guides Souls’.】

 

“Stop fighting already…”

 

There’s not a single useful thing being said, they’re just fighting among themselves…

 

If they’re going to do that, don’t send indirect messages and just meet up for a real fight.

 

It looks like middle-aged men bickering with each other, so disgusting to watch.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ sees the user’s disillusioned gaze and hastily comes to their senses.】

 

【They quickly change the subject, saying not to worry since they’ll tell you pretty much everything once you achieve 40% divinity.】

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ points fingers at the poor system, asking why these damn indirect messages send even useless content.】

 

“…”

 

Now they’re even grabbing the system’s head…

 

Communication skills, are they really necessary? Couldn’t I do without them?

 

They don’t seem particularly useful, so can’t I ask for a different skill instead of this one?

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ panics and promises not to say useless things anymore.】

 

【They plead that communication skills are absolutely necessary to create sacred objects, so please keep them.】

 

It’s a bit unsettling, but… if I need communication to properly use the sacred object creation skill, there’s no choice.

 

Besides, sacred object creation wasn’t just good for me.

 

Lute Sieri.

 

Couldn’t I also create custom sacred objects made only for him?

 

For that level of compensation, Lute might willingly lend me about 1 billion.

 

I should raise my proficiency a bit and try it.

 

“I have one more thing to ask. Is it okay for me to keep Idella with me?”

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ says they cannot answer that question.】

 

They can’t answer this question…

 

Then let me change the question.

 

“May I take in the poor girl I rescued from the slums today? I’m worried she might face terrible things again if left outside, so I’m thinking of employing her at the Grand Temple.”

 

This time the answer didn’t come back immediately.

 

I waited without rushing, and soon smiled slyly when I saw the response that came back.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ says it’s natural for the Holy Maiden to show kindness, and that the user’s intention is right.】

 

As expected, my prediction was correct.

 

They can’t answer direct questions that include ‘Idella’s’ name, but they can answer indirect questions.

 

The system can’t interfere with questions that are like covering your eyes and pretending.

 

In that case, there’s one thing I want to ask.

 

“As a god, is there any advice you can give to the daughter who serves you?”

 

What exactly should I be wary of right now?

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ advises to regard gold as if it were stone.】

 

【They worry greatly about their personally chosen Holy Maiden, saying gold is the shortcut to ruin.】

 

“…?”

 

What is this supposed to mean?

 

Regard gold as what? What should I do? It’s not gambling, so how is gold the shortcut to ruin?

 

“That saying isn’t meant to be used in situations like this…”

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ nods vigorously, saying it’s excellent advice.】

 

【They strongly say that this advice must be remembered.】

 

But even the Annihilation God agrees with this statement?

 

“Gold means gold? You’re telling me to regard gold like stone? Then I don’t need to make offerings anymore?”

 

Gold does seem to be the shortcut to ruin.

 

I’m making offerings but don’t have a single penny for myself.

 

Usually when people get transported into books, they all start businesses and fill their personal coffers first, but I’m the only one who’s broke.

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ hastily shakes their head. It’s really helpful advice, so please think about it carefully, they beg and plead.】

 

A System Message that seemed soaked in tears grabbed my arm and clung to me.

 

“I got it, so don’t get snot on me and get away. I’ll figure it out on my own.”

 

【’The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’…】

 

“Ah, I really will make offerings. Do you think I’d quit when I need to break through divine secrets? So get away.”

 

I peeled off the Sun God’s message that kept clinging and threw it down on the floor.

 

Oh, that feels somewhat refreshing. Have I actually wanted to do this all along?

 

“At least until Idella awakens, I’ll work hard to keep the Grand Temple alive, so just make one promise with me.”

 

I looked seriously at the Sun God who was lying face down on the floor sniffling and made a demand.

 

“If you successfully escape danger and recover your divinity, let me hit you once.”

 

Throwing them down already felt somewhat refreshing, so how good would it feel to actually hit them?

 

I wasn’t originally this violent, but I guess people really do change after dying and coming back to life.

 

“If you don’t promise, I’ll regard gold like stone.”

 

When I declared I wouldn’t make offerings, the Sun God’s message window started trembling.

 

Then the Annihilation God who was beside them suddenly stuck their head out.

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ bursts into laughter and shouts that it’s a good idea.】

 

【They promise in the name of god that they will personally become a witness to the oath.】

 

Black power filled with starlight poured out from the System Message window.

 

Part of it seeped into my body, and part into the Sun God’s message window.

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ says the oath has been formed with this. They boast that if refused, ‘The Sun That Crawled Out of Death’ will lose their recovered power again.】

 

“Oh, thank you.”

 

Leaving the stunned Sun God behind, I excitedly exchanged high-fives with the Annihilation God.

 

Now there’s one thing left.

 

“Then what will you do for me, Annihilation God?”

 

The Annihilation God’s message window, which had been laughing happily while looking at the Sun God, froze.

 

“We agreed to collaborate with Nashas, High Priest, but in reality, I’m the one who knows the future helping this place not to collapse. You’re not thinking of getting something for nothing, are you?”

 

I’m doing all the work, but you’re just using me without giving anything?

 

“Gods aren’t exploitative employers, so how can this be? Should I call off the collaboration?”

 

【’The Traveler Who Guides Souls’ breaks out in cold sweat, asking to please reconsider…】

 

“Then what are you going to give me?”

 

【’The, The Traveler Who Guides…’】

 

“What?”

 

I glared fiercely at the Annihilation God.

 

It didn’t take long for the Annihilation God to raise both hands and feet in surrender.
