nchapter 56.1

nI am relaxing in a hotel room.

nThe weather has suddenly became worse and my vision became completely white so I decided to rush to a nearby hotel and stay overnight.

nIt is possible to stop the snow if I conrol the weather with the power of miracle but its impossible to cover the enite path as the range is fixed.

nWell thats good, Rather than that, solving serious problems should be my top priority.

nIn a room with two semi-double beds is me, Carol, Destiny….. and Seri Shinsei.

n“Excuse me. Why are you in the same room with us?”

n“Its possible to save money so why not?”

nMiss Seri is making a point.

nIts usually hard to travel in heavy snow but players use power of miracles so its no wonder that they follow unusual ways.

n

n

n…But when I see her sitting on bed and holding Carol with a sloppy face, I lose my convincing power.

n“I just want to sleep with Carol, right?”

n“Yes!”

nWith a innocent smile like that of a child, she admits it.

nIf Carol didnt liked it, I would have stopped it but she looks to be having fun. Is it okay to leave her alone?

nI would be nervous if I was alone with an adult woman in a private room but there is Destiny in addition to Carol. Its isnt strange….I believe in my self control.

n“There seems to be a large public bath here so lets go together, Carol-chan.”

n“Big bath! Go go!”

nCarol jumps up and down and expresses her joy with her whole body.

nI know that indoor bath guards against evil spirits but I wonder how many people can stop her after seeing her joy. 1

n“… Then let’s have a bath and a meal first.”

nIt was dark as evening due to the snowstorm earlier but now its really evening.

nLets warm our cold body and have dinner. Since I have come to Hokkaido, I want to eat fresh sea food.

nOf course, in the large public bath, men and women are separated. Carol and Seri enter the dressing room.

nI told them to call out aloud if something happens.

nIts a huge dressing room but unfortunately there are no other customers here.

nBefore locking the locker where I put my taken off clothes, I check the bag which I thrown it with.

nWhen I open the zipper, Destiny shows up its face.

n“Wait here for a moment. I’ll keep the locker locked.” 2

nIt would be silly of me to not lock. There is the concern of the thieves and I also decided to be more cautious of the Evil God side.

nI persuaded it by stroking its head with my fingers. It gave a small nod, grumbled and started eating the Jingisukan(Genghis Khan) meat which I brought with satisfaction.

nWhen something happens, I can call for help. The situation where I am not wearing any clothes is too defenseless and it makes me nervous.

nWhen I opened the sliding door while naked, steam suddenly burst out.

nThe bathroom and bathtub are quite large so its too luxurious to enter alone. I immediately wash my body and soak in the bathtub.

n“Wow, the best bath in Snow Country” 3

nAll of the fatigue from today seems to be dissipated in hot water.

nI want to be blunt and dont think anything but I have to work my head.

nI think its safe to say that Miss Seri is a friend.

nIts strange that I couldnt be wary of her due to some reason but I wasnt completely negligent.

nI was observing her few times when she was acting alone but nothing strange.

nHow do I know that? Thats because I was monitoring her actions with my smartphone. I can peek around the areas where I have traveled using the Village of Fortune app.

nIts a trick which I alone can do since I have the Bible in my hand.

nI pretended to be caroling around, acting like someone whose curiosity coudnt be satisfied and took advantage of the performance to travel to various places for the first time.

nI also guided Carol throughout the hotel wherever she wanted to go and so I can peep at most of the places.

nWell the women’s bath is out of my sight, so I can’t see it even with my smartphone. … I don’t think it’s too bad. Besides, it is rule to not abuse the game for self interests.

n“We will be arriving by tomorrow noon. I hope nothing happens until then.”

nI dip till my chin in the bathtub and look up at the ceiling.

nMy desire for her to safely rturn to her original world is contrary to me desire to stay together with her.

n“But that’s my selfishness.”

nI wash my face with scooped hot water and shake my head left and right in order to rid of my anxiety.

n…… Is there something which shoudnt be there at the edge of my vision?

nFor a moment, I thought that I saw something which wasnt suitable for this bath tab so I slowly twisted my neck to the right.

nFloating in the bathtub…there was the golden lizard.

n“What are you doing!”

nI hold my mouth after unintentionally screaming.

nIts safe because I am the only person in the bathroom right now but it would be ridiculous if other guests came in.

n“I am sorry. I know you want to take a big bath but wait over there.”

nI place Destiny in a nearby bucket and placed another one over it so it cannot be seen from the surrounding area and leave the bathroom.

nThere was no figure in the dressing room so I hurriedly wiped its body and put it back in my bag.

n“It looks dissatisfied”

nIt was bad enough that I forced it to quit while it was relaxing but now it is half closing its eye and staring at me.

nAfter quickly changing my clothes, I left the dressing room, sat on the nearby bench near the entrance and waited.

nAlthough everything looks natural, everytime someone passes by, I warn myself that he

/she is on the Evil God side and prepare for it.

nI took out my smartphone and opened Village of Fate to distract my mind.

nA vision of a person looking down from above appears on the screen.

nThere is a black part in my sight so I cant see anything in the women’s bath.

nSince the corridor of this floor is already visible, there is no place to hide so it is easy to monitor.

nSo far there were Hatabata and three thugs on the Evil God side. Moreover there is also the white-haired middle-aged aged butler who got out of the car.

nEven now I think its a useful feature. Its like seeing from a high-performance surveillance camera anytime and anywhere. Its given that I am the only one holds the Bible.

nWould it be possible for anyone else to look at the map, the same way as me just like the Bible? Is there something similar?

nIts irreplaceable to me but if this can be only used by me, I dont know why anyone would want it for 10 million. SIs this also a question which can be answered by the management?

n“It isnt like that I can reach the correct answer if I am worried.”

nIts nor speculative nor there is enough information to reach an answer. Its a waste of time to worry about it in this situation.

n“It’s faster to ask God if you have any questions.”

n“Wow!”

nA cold plastic battle is applied to my cheek and my voice came out.

nWhen I looked up, there were Seri and Carol in Yukata. Since Seri has puppet like hair, she looks good in Yukata.

n

n

nThe person next to her, Carol isnt loosing as well.The blonde looks like a foreigner tourist with a mismatched yukata who loves Japan. I definitely like Carol. Not in some weird sense.

n“That’s true. Well, don’t worry about it. First, let’s think about getting there safely!”

n“Yeah, that’s fine. Then lets have the long-awaited dinner.”

n“Oh!”

nCarol responded by raising her hand and reducing my tensions.

nIts been half a day since we met, but they are good friends now. It may be due to the same personality and the sense of security of the same sex.

nIts looks normal since she is still a child. It makes sense that she misses her mother.

nI hold her hand and get up. I follow the two heading to the restaurant

nCould this be the last supper which I will eat with Carol? When I think so, loneliness rise in my chest.

nI opened the lid of the plastic bottle which I was handed over and swallowed the water inside it without any hesitation.

n
