-Chapter 23-

The Sacred City of Ruin

But is it because of confusion or perhaps guilt, the language used happens to be very old.

 “—–Is what she is saying Captain~”

“The said apostles got eight complicated fractures diagnosed… They were even carried out by a stretcher out of the scene too you see…”

“Oi RECHE!?”

“WHA~!?”

Reche backs off even further.

However, there was a tinge of ‘giving up’ in the sight of Fei and his body language.

“It.. was done.. inadvertently. I misunderstood the world to be in a similar fashion to that of the spiritual upper world.”

……

“…… This ‘INADVERTENT’ God…”

Inadvertently fell asleep in the permanent ice wall for about 3000 years…

Inadvertently unable to return to Godhood… and

Inadvertently creating an incident of Bloodshed…

[TL note: LMAOOOO; Inadvertently means carelessly – by mistake.]

…… Did she get furious because ‘Play of Gods’ got ridiculed?

…… Well, I can actually imagine that even with my eyes closed. From the character of Reche.

There are no casualties, no deaths in the “Play of Gods”.

But this is not true for the real physical world. When I am with Reche, there is no guarantee of life if you manage to offend her even in the least.

The current matter too, if I had not taken the correct decision, this would have led to another catastrophe altogether.

“Head Manager Miranda, no wonder she chose me as the companion of Reche……”

“I am really sorry. Even though she is an incredibly-insanely cute girl, only if there were no complications or incidents to her name, I would have said ‘by all means yes’. Well speaking of luxury… If only she could have a chest a bit on the bigger si—.”

*PIK~*

The glass held by Reche suddenly made a sound and had a crack in it. A glass made up of reinforced ceramic… A glass which should not have any cracks or breakages that easily…

“Reche?”

“the size of the chest depends from person to person”

The girl had a smile on her face…

“When I decided to choose this form you know~ I did not know the tastes of a human man as such… Even when I was about to embody this appearance, it was easier to imitate a straight body feature. And so, I thought it would be perfectly fine or so. But boys like breasts to be on the bigger side, don’t they?”

“…… No… even if you ask me…”

“Even during the time of the Ancient Magic Civilization too, I remember being rumored that despite being a God, my chest is quite modest…”

“At that time, I became so angry that I was about to burn down the entire world into crispers. 

“Are you Planning to wipe Humans Out!?”

“—Fei.”

With a very lovely smile, having her both arms crossed under her chest, she tries her best to push forward her two rugged twin hills.

……

“You.., you don’t mind much about the size of a woman’s chest right? I mean…, I still have quite a decent amount in me, right?.”

“…………”

“What do you say?”

“…… Yes, truly, you are indeed correct.”

… Strange…

Even though we should be looking for a teammate, why am I having cold sweats being asked about my impressions about the size of the breast of the opposite sex.

And have to answer those questions no matter what…

“Good then”

Reche nods her head satisfied.

By the way, regarding the call with the said person who supposedly touched this sensitive topic – it had been already disconnected. 

…… That Captain Aslan, he immediately ran away the moment he got a thought of this to be extremely dangerous.

…… I will give him an earful later on.

“Alright Fei, Let’s continue our search for teammates~ But a condition. It must be a person with a smaller chest than mine.”

“AS IF I KNOW ANY!!!”

I look into the contact registry in the list of the communication device. Looking at the accomplishments, desires and qualification requirements of various teams. He combines and evaluates them from his own perspective.

“Reche~ the next I would be contacting will be a Lady Captain. Is it alright?”

“If she has a chest smaller than mine then it’s all good.”

“As I said, I don’t know any such person. ………. Ah, Excuse me, Captain Yuki? How are you doing? It is I, Fei. But is the time now alright?”

“Ara maa~ isn’t it Fei~ Long time~”

A reply comes from the communication device.

What reached Fei’s ears was a feminine voice which might actually belong to an adult-sexy woman.

“At long last are you feeling like respond to my date invitation right~”

“Hmm? No? not at all”

“Now aren’t you so cold~ well I did think you would say so…… A, Also, I also saw that live broadcast of the Titan game in front of the monitor. Me and my fellow members were shouting and having a lot of fun watching that match, and giving out our own judgements.”

“Even you, Captain?”

“That is one of my job damon~”

*kukuku, or so, a mature laugh gets transmitted over from the other side of the communication device.

“There is no certain winning method for the ‘Play of Gods’ but there was a solution, nonetheless. After watching the Play with Gods, finding out other effective paths or methods which could’ve been taken is also very important. I have an excellent game analysis team with me. After all, I left the hard work to them and continued to enjoy watching the game.”

“Well, the team of Captain Yuuki; the whole team is a complete set ne~.”

The team, [The Beautifully Blooming Black Wild Roses] is a total of 36-member team. 

In there are in total 14 active apostles, there are 4 retired apostles giving advice and 4, discussing game solutions and analyzing. There were 10 newcomers who came into the team this year, now in training. And there are 2 managers.

The role of guiding the newcomers is the task of the previous Captain.

And when you add Captain Yuuki to the fray, you get a total of 36 people.

The most important thing for having a greater chance of winning in the ‘Play of Gods’ is having an excellent Game Analysis team.

The team’s main role is to derive possible winning methods from the contents of the past played games.

In case of the game by God Titan, ‘God-Pretend’, too—

That game was watched by the whole world, in a live broadcast.

If there is an excellent Game Analysis team, there must have been a fast discussion regarding  ‘What could be done to dominate the game such as God-Pretend’  definitely. 

Participated by the other staff too.

Their extraordinary leaders and advisors are invited by various other teams and solicited with exceptional rewards.

“Regarding Captain, even in this year’s Mystic Court you got an ‘A’ in examination right~.”

“Of course. Ara Fei, are you finally interested in my [The Beautifully Blooming Black Wild Roses]? Just to tell you, we have a lot of apostles who try to get in but are unable to ok?”

“And m—?”

“I will get an open seat for especially you right this moment~”

… it was miraculously answered even before completing.

“While watching the match with the God Titan, I trembled in excitement after a long time. And to say also, the Titan would always without doubt choose a game related to fighting.”

 “But this time, it was ‘God-Pretend’…”

“There is no derived solution for the first game of its kind, so even my analysis team became pale faced. And to achieve victory over such a game, that too all of a sudden.”

“It is not because of ‘just me’ you know.”

“Oh aren’t you humble~. Well so that’s that. If Fei wants to come into our team, we will welcome you in open arms. Manager~, Please order a desk and a locker for a person in the room immediately.”

“Ah…… wait a bit Captain Yuuki. It is not just me.”

In front of Fei—-

Reche was listening to the conversation between them with great interest.

“Can you get a place for one more person?”

“Your recommendation? It’s okay, but who is it?”

“A former God named Leo Reche. She is at present right in front of me. She has bright red hair… but well it’s not even required to say right.”

…………

“…………”

“Arre? Hello? Captain Yuuki? Captain? Are you there?”

All of a sudden, the voice coming from the other side of the communicating device stopped.

Not only the voice of Captain Yuuki, but also the happy-lively voices of member apostles which came from around her too. 

Isn’t it as calm as if in the water of a water body no stones were struck for a time?

“Captain Yuuki?”

And then…

“DRAGON GOD LEO RECHE YOU SAY!?” “n…no… N..NOOOOOOOOOO—-”

And the communication got abruptly cut off.

The communication device at the end of Fei had become completely silent.

“Arrere? They hung up.. Oh right, Reche~ the moment I said your name to Captain Yuuki, her demeanor suddenly changed to the point of screaming and then abruptly cutting off the communication device.”

“…………”

“Why are you looking away~?”

The cute and lovely girl was then turning away her face and her line of sight, being aware of her nearby surroundings, figuring out her way to escape.

And then…
