(Loid POV)
It is like any other day except, there a notifications that are received by all mobile devices, some ignore it, while some didn't even bother to read it and erase them from the screen of their phone, most people do what two mentioned earlier, and of course, they are also who different from the rest and read it and the notification say-
'Another World Channel is on stream'
.....
"...What the fuck is that? We haven't even concluded if we're going to do it or not."
"Sorry, you guys really don't have a choice in this."
I wanted to slap the one who answered me, but the reason I didn't wasn't because I feared the goddess's retribution but because someone here served me as my nanny. Since she arrived in my life, she's become like a magical Nanny McPhee, using her powers to straighten me out. And let me tell you, it's far better to be disciplined physically than magically by her.
°So, let us summarise it up°
said my nanny—no, by Makina.
°You, the Goddess and the other gods with the deities have come to the conclusion to make a livestream that will announce your arrival to the world in an effort to not cause trouble to our world. Is that right?°
• Yes, and also to introduce ourselves and our world, which is on the brink of destruction to inform them of our situation and show them what kind of world it will be after we arrive in yours•
°I see, I comprehend you're intention.°
Makina said, nodding thoughtfully.
Seeing their interaction, I raise a question as I don't fully understand what the goddess answered to Makina.
"I understand why we need to let the people of our world know about the arrival of you gods and deities, and also possibly the people of your world who might be saved and evacuated to our world."
The reason for this is obviously to prevent trouble and panic from their arrival on Earth, and beyond this, starting with the big—
"But, I don't understand what you mean by informing them of the situation in your world and showing them what kind of world our world will become."
Exactly as I said and following it up with the giant—
"And most of all—"
Taking a deep breath, I ask—
"Why livestreaming?! What's the need for live streaming for this?"
Isn't there another way other than live streaming? I want to ask, but if I do, they'll find out that I find this embarrassing. After all, I'm a full-breed introvert.
A full-breed introvert who doesn't have a single post on any social media other than the automatic birthday congratulatory messages sent by the site. And to add more credibility, all my profile pictures on any social media are default, not showing any images of my face as I'm—
•Timid?•
"I'm trying to say shy, and stop reading my mind."
Fuch, I forgot that I couldn't have any privacy in this world.
There's no way I can gain peace of mind if I can't even keep my thoughts private.
Having these thoughts, I resign myself to the fate where my privacy is deprived every time I meet this goddess or the other gods or any similar beings or entities that can read my thoughts.
"Haa....." (sigh)
With this sigh, I accept this resignation.
With everything settled, I compose myself and proceed with what I have to do.
"So, Makina, could you enlighten me on why livestreaming is necessary for achieving this objective?"
°Understood. Simply put, the livestream will not only provide an assurance that we can avoid unwanted events like mass panic and outrage in our world, or at least minimize complications that could result in serious casualties.°
°But also provides information about this world back to our world such as the phenomenon of Skills and abilities, unknown energy called mana, and the existence of beings such as Gods and monsters and any information and data of this world, that eventually our world about to become°
°Making our world be ready and adapt to impending changes upon the arrival of these gods and other anotherworldly beings to our world and enabling the people of our world to plan their actions in response to these forthcoming changes°
Hearing makina words, I begun to understand the various motive of the goddess, that i want to say but I'm seeing the goddess nodding awkwardly at the corner around me and makina, making to me to believe that the goddess didn't thought that far and what Makina say are speculation the she arrive at it own
This made me once again appreciate Makina's remarkable capabilities while also recognizing that the goddess in the corner was not as capable as I had initially thought.
•Hey, just so you know, I'm also known in this world as the Keeper of Knowledge.•
"Ha! No, wait, I take that back. It's better than you being called a sage or guru. Now I feel relieved in this world."
• Although your sudden relief annoys me, I must ask: why do you think I'm not fit to be called a sage or guru? •
I smirk at the question and respond,
"See. You're not wise at all, as such you could not be called one, that's why."
•Ha?.....!!!, Hey, You puny Mortal•
Dumb founded of the realization, The Goddess try to assault me with it string of soul mana manifesting at it hand and me at the end of her Anger, take a stance to escape at my position at any moment
The goddess then let go any restrain and unleash it wrath
•Suffer!, impudent mortal•
"Try, Inept Goddess"
and then we clash, but before it even happen, a strong force take over my body and grip me as intertwined around my body, making me incapable to move
With this thought and situation, The attack by the goddess will surely hit me, although I know that the goddess is inept, but i don't know how strong she is, if she is really a goddess then the attack will surely devastating
with that, I look at the direction of the goddess, expecting a blow to land at me, but-
•What is this!, I cant move!•
"....."
...Ha, I should really learn my lesson, what do I expect to this incompetent Goddess, well talking about Incompetent, Did you know that the antonym of incompetent is competent, just erase the In in the first word and you get the antonym of the word incompetent
Ha?, are you wondering why im suddenly spouting this trivia, well the reason is I noticed that the thing that wrapping the incompetent Goddess, that look like a sludge if I described
As I try retrace where it coming from, i look it where it coming from and it lead me at the sole of the shoe that Makina wearing, noticing that the sludge are tied at the shoes of Makina, unlike the goddess, I'm wise enough to know that Makina do it and knowing Makina, it no wonder that she able to catch me and the incompetent goddess as Makina is remarkably competent
And also, knowing Makina, I know what's next and I tell you, Remember I mentioned earlier about Makina being like Nanny McPhee? Be honored, because this is what I meant.
°Loid, did I tell you to watch your conduct when dealing with the goddess?°
"Well, about that....."
°And Goddess, didn't I ask you not to try to hurt Loid? Isn't that right?°
•It's th-th-the mortal's fault!•
As we both stammered out our excuses—no, our final excuses—Makina walked closer to us, and the sludge followed, slowly wrapping around us. It reached our chests and began climbing towards our necks.
"Makina, wait, wait, how about we talk about this—"
•Yes, yes, like the mortal said, how about resolving this diplomatically, as you do in your world—•
°Silence.°
"-mmm."
•-ekkk•
The sludge crawled up to our faces, starting from our mouths and going higher. In the final lingering moment, I looked at the goddess, who was in the same situation as me. In that moment, we finally saw eye to eye.
With our eyes glancing at each other, a truce was silently signed, which was "not to go too far and not to anger Makina."
With the truce signed, the sludge crawled over our eyes, slowly blocking our sight. Finally, it passed over our eyes and reached the top of our heads, completely wrapping us up. With that, everything went black.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I don't know how much time pass, but me and the goddess are setting straight as straight as makina straight us
°Goddess°
•Y-Y-Yes•
°Is there any other information you yet to say that we have to know°
•R-Right, there indeed that I have to say to you two•
°Lets hear it°
•C-Certainly•
At Makina question and demand, the goddess kindly although fearfully but still kindly respond but more fearfully thought
•T-There a great news and other Good news, which should i have to start•
°Hmm, Loid°
"Y-Y-Y-YES!!!"
as Makina contemplate about the question, she called me and kindly and not truly fearfully respond because I did not
°How about you choose which to start to hear between the two news brought by the Goddess°
"O-O-OF COURSE, I see, I see"
Makina ask me to choose which to start to hear first that i, Again, did not reply Fearfully but kindly, remember, Kindly
"T-Then, Esteemed Goddess, Grace us first with your great news"
•Th-The Great news first I see, well then, Hm-hm•(Clearing it throat)
preparing to say the great news that I choose to first to hear, the goddess clear it throat probably to clear her tension and deliver well the great news that she about to say
•Well then, Great news you two, from now on, I, Goddess Aksa, Goddess of soul and spirit, will keep company from now on throughout your journey, Helping and guiding you with the trials and difficulties and be right at your side with your every triumph and loss, Be honored and thankful, Mortal ones-•
".....I see"
"(Hell no!!!)"
That I want to yell, but as a human such I am, im capable of learning from failures at such I know it it not an appropriate words to say, especially at front of Makina, and so I mutter a right word to say and shut any Bad thoughts coming out from the mouth and suppress it, but thankfully, I can keep the frustration in myself and vent inside
"(Hell no!!!, Hell no!!!, Hell no!!!, Hell no, HELLLLL NOOOOOO!!!)"
"(I know that I went and resign myself to the fate of having my privacy deprave any time I meet this goddess or any other similar beings that could read my mind, but it doesn't mean that I resign myself of not having any privacy at all!!!)"
•What the difference?•
"(There a big difference and stop reading my mind, you inept goddess)"
•You!!!•
"(Try to do something and this time you only one will being nannied!!!)"
•Tch!!!(Grumble)(Mumble)•
HA, its Good that Makina could not read mind unless i allowed to so, That thought of it make Makina even more incredible that this suppose Goddess, no in the beginning Makina is more Amazing than this twerp
•(Glaring)•
Probably hearing my thought, the goddess glare at me as if to want to pierce a hole at me, but sorry you couldn't and shouldn't, you know why right?
Thinking about this thought, I haughtily inquire about the suppose good news that the goddess to say
"Then, What about the Good news, What it suppose to say"
•(Grumbling)(mumbling)....You could now able to go out of my labyrinth•
Still grumbling and mumbling, the goddess tell about the good news that she about to say and here the twist
"Ha?"
It indeed a good news, as I even surprisingly receive it
