One time, when I was reporting the situation to Metron-sama as usual .

  “—— that is all . I didn’t see Kamiya Yato making any suspicious moves . ”


  “I get it . Good job . Keep up the good work . ”


  “Yes!”


  “Earth, huh……”


  After finishing the report, Metron-sama muttered that word while seeming to reminisce the past .

  “How nostalgic . ”


  “Did you go there?”


  “Yeah, when I was traveling in secret in the old days . It was when the place where you’re living in now was still called Edo . ”


  Metron-sama kept talking about his missed past .

  According to him, he used to secretly visit earth formerly .

  But, how can I say this……

  I can’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling when I see him talking about his old days while he’s taking the appearance of a young kid .

  Well, at least he’s older than me .

  Suddenly, Metron-sama raised his voice, seeming to have recalled something .

  “Ah, come to think of it . I’ve created an island there . ”


  “Island?”


  Asking him back, Metron confirmed his words and continued .

  “I made it for my own use when I visit earth again, though I got too excited and remodeled it in many ways…… ah, I was pretty young at that age . ”


  He said while blushing .

  I just can’t get used to him saying things like this with that appearance .

  “However, is it okay? If someone was to find that island, things will turn into a mess . ”


  “It’s okay . I made it in a way that nobody could find it . ”


  He seemed to be confident that no one will find it .

  Well, if he said it’s okay, then it is .

  Gazing at him still nostalgically recalling the past, I made myself believe that things will be okay .

  ——————————————————————–


  “— and that’s what happened . ”


  Saying all what she had to say, Lina took a short breath .

  “Gods are pretty…… free……”


  “Gods are breaking the rules……”


  Saya and I had a bitter smile on our face, shocked from realizing the privileges of a god . I wonder if all of them are like that .

  “Well, Metron-sama has a special character . There was a time when he was called has ‘the god of leisure . ’ that’s how much he likes playing around, so it can’t be helped . ”


  That kid was a god of leisure .

  I was slightly surprised to know that, but immediately agreed . It was a perfect title for a kid like him .

  Maybe he summoned my class that time just because he thought it would be interesting .

  “If he that ki- Metron was speaking about his past, how old is he?”


  I forgot and was about refer to Metron as “kid” when I asked Lina .

  That’s dangerous . It would be terrifying of she was to get angry about it again . She already reacted to the way I changed my words . Next time, I need to be more careful .

  “I don’t know about that too . I remember him saying that he stopped counting after 500 years . Rather, you! What were you about to say just now?”


  “No-Nothing . ”


  Barely safe .

  I barely avoided her suspicion by feigning ignorance . Even though all those things that happened to her because of him, she still doesn’t like anyone to to talk bad about him .

  “Hee, so a god lives that long . ”


  Saya said with an impressed and carefree voice, unlike me .

  I somehow felt jealous of her carefree attitude .

  Give me some of your easy-going mood at least .

  “But still, Metron once came to Edo, huh . And he made an island…… island? Wait, could it be……”


  As I was muttering to myself, I felt something off in my own words and started pondering .

  A few moments later, I decided to ask Lina to confirm my thought .

  “Lina, could it be that there is a teleportation system installed on that island?”


  “Teleportation system? Yeah, that’s possible . Metron-sama doesn’t have the skill to teleport between worlds, so he may have installed it there . ”


  Hearing her answer, I understood the situation .

  “I see……”


  “What about it?”


  Noticing my odd reaction, Lina asked me back .

  That was because I was probably grinning .

  When I made my decision, I stood up, silently .

  “Yato-kun?”


  Saya called my name, confused by my odd attitude .

  So apparently, that kid is setting a teleportation system that’s connected to him place .

  Then there’s only one thing to be done .

  “I’m going punch that kid and the face . ”


  “What? You mean, Metron-sama?”


  “Yeah, sorry but I won’t be changing my mind . ”


  I went through hard times because of him .

  I can’t just let a chance like this go away .

  Even if Lina tries to stop me .

  “No, I’m not going to stop you . ”


  However, contrary to my prediction, Lina wasn’t intending to do so .

  Bewildered by her shocking reply, I turned to stare at her .

  “You’re not going to stop me?”


  “I understand your feelings . I mean, I went through the same hardship as well . That’s why I think that letting you go would serve as a good lesson to Metron-sama…… not to mention……”


  “Not to mention?”


  When I urged her to continue, Lina made the same type of grin as the one I was doing, and talked .

  “I too went him to go through a hard time . ”


  She said it with a face not seeming to feel bad about it at all .

  I was happy to hear those words coming from her .

  “You started acting like yourself too . ”


  “Thanks to someone . ”


  We both laughed at the same time .

  It was as if two kids thought of a new prank .

  “You too, don’t go too far . ”


  Saya said with a bitter smile on her face, as she watched the both of us laughing that way .

  “But is it fine? If I made it to Metron’s place, you will be doubted for helping me out . ”


  “Don’t worry . I can take care of that part . You’re free to do whatever you want . ”


  “Is that so . ”


  She did indeed change from the first time I met her .

  At that time, she was more like a mad Metron devotee .

  She’s going in the right direction .

  After we kept laughing for a while, the three of us started making a detailed plan for our trip to that island .

  Just wait you annoying kid . I will be there in no time .

  Bonus

  Omen

  “Hiii!!”


  “What’s the matter, Metron-sama?”


  “I-I’m not sure . I kinda felt a chill running down me……”
