The day before the eve of the festival... Masaru was working with Zelaphitis to solve a big problem.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that if everyone doesn't get used to Zeraphitis and his gods by the time of the ceremony, there will be tragedy in store. .... "Not a comedy?

"Not a comedy?

Do you want me to vomit or pass out at a banquet with the gods?

Do you want me to vomit or pass out at a banquet with the gods?" "Vomit: ......... I don't think so: .......... I don't think so.

"That's why you have to build up a bit of a tolerance. So you have to have a little tolerance.

"You're treating me like a monster or a poison. .... It's sad that you can't deny it.

The sad thing is that you can't deny it. It's just a little different in dimension and direction. ..........

"How about we start by testing the giant lobster cauldron and oven? We'll put it in a prominent place in the square, so it's a good place to start.

Can I have a nibble?

It's only a little bit. ......... That's what I told Victinius, I don't want to offend him. What?

What is it? I've already got a ......... pain in my ass! Hey, hey, hey! Don't kick my ass!

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bit of trouble with the whole thing.

I'll fill the cauldron with hot spring water! Whoever's free, help me! At the same time, we'll get the oven and the wood ready for the fire! At the same time, get the oven and wood ready for the fire.

At the same time, I'll get the oven and wood ready for the fire.

"Well, there's no waste. It's really great that you know what you're supposed to do and that everyone can work without having to ask anyone.

"We had a morning staff meeting where we talked about the whole process and how to divide up the work... It's only recently that we've been able to move like this. But look around you.

But look around you. But look around you. People from other places are amazed at how hard you work. You have to be able to do this.

"If I couldn't do this, I wouldn't have been able to build a city in such a short time. I understand.

"I get it, you're spartan. I get it.

In Japan, pre-work meetings are commonplace, but they're not easy to do. It requires a high level of awareness and understanding of each individual's work, which is inherently culturally demanding.

"Isn't the water too warm in this hot spring? Isn't it supposed to be boiled before you add prawns?

"Yes, you bring it to a boil, then add salt and lobster and boil. I've already put the lobsters in the oven I just turned on, but they're that size I don't even know if they'll cook. "What's the solution?

"What's the solution?

I've developed some kind of heat transfer magic. I'll see what I can do. I'll see what I can do.

You're telling me you built a spell to cook this? I mean, that's just awesome. .... I'll see what I can do.

Masaru is Japanese, after all, and his passion and enthusiasm for food is not half bad.

I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm sure it'll be fine. Yeah.

"Yeah, it's not good if it burns... in any way. Yeah.

Yeah, if it gets burnt, that's where the taste test comes in. Yeah.

"What? Am I about to get burnt?

"Of course not, I'm just helping out today, it's not the real deal. ......... No special treatment!

Leave the disappointed Zeraphitis alone, and start magically manipulating the heat in the oven.

"Heat control .........God, the side of the oven is so hot .......... "Hey Masaru!

"Hey Masaru! It's a bit dangerous, isn't it? You'll get burned... you'll get burned! I'm sure you're not the only one. You'll burn! You'll burn!

Zeraphitis' panicked voice caused the others to rush to pour water or hot water from the hot spring onto Masaru... A little panic caused the hot water to be poured on his hands and cuffs, while the water was poured on his head and body.

You don't need the head and body, do you? I'd at least leave if it was going to catch fire. .... I don't need a head or body.

You don't want to burn the lobster if you move away! I don't want to taste it when it's burnt!

I don't want to taste burnt lobster! I'll kick your ass again later!

Hey! That's terrible!

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

"............ Zelaphitis-sama? I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to say.

I'm sorry. That thing you called .........?

The adults around me panicked (for the second time since a while ago), some were dumbfounded and started muttering something, some just blinked repeatedly, and some just sat there... It's a good thing no one shit their pants or fainted. However, there were some who were in trouble.

"Hey, Masaru, what should I do?

"Hey, Masaru, what should I do?" "Well, I can't let it burn, so I can't let it go... you're on your own! You're God, right?

That's what happens when you're God!

Just as Zelaphitis was about to join his panicked friends, the angels of salvation appeared. They were children who were preparing for a boat race nearby.

"You must be Zelaphitis! Nice to meet you, I'm Mei! I wanted to meet you!

Following May's kneeling, the other children came forward one after another and knelt before Zeraphitis.
The adults followed suit, having finally found what they needed to do.

"Heads up, we're just here to help you get used to the gods. Don't worry too much about it, just go about your business. Get used to it.

"......... get used to it. .......... Get used to it.



Adults nodding in agreement with what someone said.

"If you don't get used to it, you won't get a good meal at the banquet, will you?

「「「「「「........................... .... 」」」」」」

"You can't worry about the little things before you get a good meal.

"God is a small thing, brother... Brother...

Zita is looking up at him with a dumbfounded expression.

"I love a good meal!

Next to her, Mei and the little girls are jumping for joy. A good meal is justice!

"Okay, Zita and Mei! Turn down the heat on the oven... the residual heat should be enough!

"Okay!

Zeraphitis looked at the siblings as they went about their work.

"Well, you work hard. Nice work. Good work.

"Yeah, you're doing better than most adults. "Well, you work better than most adults.

In this world, even children are usually counted as labor force. In this world, even children are usually counted as laborers, and this brother and sister are among the hardest working... and not only that, they're not stupid and they're motivated.

"Cute and hardworking... I want to take them home with me. .... "No...

I want to take it home with me. "No... no loli, no touch. No.

Zeraphitis seems to like Mei. I'm not sure how long it's been since I sat in a chair and let Mei sit on my lap... I really hope it's paternal love.

I hope it's paternal love. ......... The steam is hot over here. The steam is hot.

I couldn't see the inside of the lobster when it was in the oven, and I couldn't tell because it was still steaming in the residual heat, but the blue outer shell of the lobster became clear and transparent as it heated up. In the end, the shell became so transparent that the flesh could be seen through it, leaving a faint blue tinge. The meat was pure white and plump, and looked very delicious.

The meat is pure white and plump and looks very tasty. "Well, let's turn off the heat and leave this one for a while. .... The crab and shrimp are boiled.

The meat of crabs and prawns shrinks and becomes dry if it is suddenly cooled after boiling. Masaru is looking at the giant pot and the oven with excitement, but the people around him are not only not in the habit of eating these things, they think they are insects, so they look uneasy.

Masaru is excited to see the giant cauldron and the oven, but the people around him are not only not in the habit of eating them, but also think they are insects. Masaru, give me some!

"......... kids or ...... you don't know how long it takes to dismantle this lobster, do you?

It's so big and so hot that no one can touch it.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

"Shut up Zelaphitis! You know what happens when you dismantle a hot lobster like this! Do you know what will happen if you dismantle such a hot lobster?

"Is it hot ......... good? What's in the juice?

............ Well, if it's good, it's good. Yeah.

Let's do it! Let's take it apart now!

I don't know why the bastard's selfishness is so troublesome... why don't you just do it yourself... hmm? If I do it myself...? Oh, yeah!

All right, let's do it! Hold on a second! I'll prepare a plate to catch the juice so it doesn't run off and get wasted.

Masaru, you really know how to talk!

Okay, I'm ready! Zelaphitis, Adamantite knife. Adamantite knife.

"What? Why would you give me a knife?

"Oh, no way! Come on, let's get it in here! All at once! Don't hesitate, okay?

Whoa, whoa! I'm on it!

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on here.


I'm not sure what to say.


I'm sure you'll be able to understand why. ....

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to do. Go away! Here, Zita! Zita, pour the water from the water bottle over there!

What? What? What? Eh? What?

Zita, the boy who panicked when God told him to pour water on him. Zeta, the boy who panicked when God told him to pour water on him.

"d*mn it, if I keep going like this, I'm going to lose my prawn soup! Zeraphitis, just hold back a little! Just a little!

He was held from behind and thrown head-first into the bottle. Of course, this time, only his legs are out of the bottle and he is drowning.

"Ew!

May pulls Zelaphitis' legs and knocks him down with the bottle.

May pulls Zelaphitis' legs and knocks him over. Thank you, Mei.

"Here, heel... looks like you're okay with the burn. You're a real handful. .... "Masaru...

Masaru you're being a bit harsh, aren't you?

I mean, that's what you were trying to get me to do, right?

"Ugh. ......... That's true, but ....... I'm sorry.

"I'm sorry when I feel bad, okay?

"I'm sorry when I feel bad," said Zeraphitis, who was seriously remorseful after being stung by May's words.

"Masaru I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to.

"Oh, it's not that I don't want you to eat, but you've learned that you need to be considerate. No one wants to be hot or sore. I'm not saying don't feed them.



Yeah, I know. I've learned a lot... and I don't want Mei to hate me. I don't want Mei to hate me.

The people of Vintaria had somehow gotten used to having a god in their lives, but .... It's no wonder that Masaru was blamed and angered by various adults for what he did to Zelaphitis that night.
