Translated by Darkapta

The Ruin branch of the Mystic Court Institution.

　The 17th floor of this elliptical building

As they proceed forward, Fei blinked again in surprise.

“Well, because she is a former God, we are letting her sleep in the special counsel’s office.”(Miranda)

. . .

“Isn’t the treatment …… a bit too different from the apostles who live in dorms?”(Fei)

“That’s not true. Well, it’s true that we don’t give you all this first-class hotel suite, but I’m sure you are given an appropriate room with similar standards. You all are the breadwinners of the Mystic Court after all.” (Miranda)

As we arrived in front of the door, Head Manager Miranda took out the Golden Master-Key from her pockets.

The door to the special counsel’s office slid open as she held the card-shaped key near to the door sensors.

umm…

“Wouldn’t she get angry that we opened her room without permission?” (Fei)

“There’s nothing she is embarrassed of present here in this room. …… Oh, I guess she’s out. let’s wait for her return then.” (Miranda)

Entering inside the living room which might had also serve the purpose of a drawing room.

Fei involuntarily had a wry smile looking around the various playthings scattered around.

“Hehe, this God really does loves to play games doesn’t she…” (Fei)

There were darts, roulette, cards, and dice.

In case of dice especially, there are a lots of variants. from the standard hexahedron to the decahedron, and even a special 100-sided dice too.

All of these were lying flowing in different directions from the desk some even slowly rolling even now on the floor.

……..

Hmm…

“Wasn’t there a proverb that said, ‘God doesn’t roll the dice,’ but looking at this, they roll then quite normally don’t they?.” (Fei)

Fei picks up two of those six-sided dice that had been fallen on the floor and threw them towards the center of the table saying aloud~

“Four and Six” (Fei)

As the two dice rolled across the table and stopped…

Miranda’s eyes rounded up in astonishment. the two dice stopped exactly at the same numerical place as declared by Fei earlier.

…

“What is it a coincidence?” (Miranda)

“It’s easy. It’s easy. Hold the opposite side of the die you want to roll, towards yourself. You then just have to roll it from there and shake it vertically with the force that stops at half a turn.” (Fei)

“If you want to get six, first hold it so that the three is on top, and then swing it so that it makes a half turn.” (Fei)

…..

“But Fei, didn’t you just threw it on the table, so… according to that, wouldn’t you able to make half a turn, or can you?” (Miranda)

“That was thirty-one and a half turns. When you count properly, you’ll see it getting the same result as half-a-turn.” (Fei)

“Two dice at once?” (Miranda)

“Even if it is three or even four dice at once, the result will be the same. Though this little trick will probably be useless against a God.” (Fei)

Yes, since this trick wasn’t developed to compete against a God.

The skills that Fei demonstrated were honed in games to win against fellow humans, and even more so, they were learned to defeat just a single opponent.

Fei still remembers~

…… that dice and even that roulette.

…… he still remembers losing to ‘you-know-who’ every single day for countless times obsessing him to practice till death because of that frustration.

To Win

. . .

Nostalgic

Fei kept staring at these scattered playthings remembering the past without anyone’s knowledge.

. . . . .

“Oh, it’s Miranda!” (?)

It was then that a carefree voice came from the back of the room.

When Fei turned around, he witnessed a Vermillion hair, bright as if lit with flames – it seemed as if fire itself. Really, an embodiment of fire.

“Oh my, Lady Leo Reche. Were you taking a bath?” (Miranda)

“Yes. The human body gets dirty easily. It’s better to wash them properly, right? (Reche)

A girl with Vermilion hair.

Her long, bright flame like hair looked as if it’s burning; as if fire itself.

She wore light tank top clothes. Her slender arms and legs which extended beyond the premise of her clothes were incredibly captivating. Her amber eyes shone brightly as if full of curiosity and vigor, and her upturned cheeks gave a cute and lovely but with also a slight ‘Ero’ feeling.

At that very sight of her…

Fei found himself mesmerized, staring at her continuously, fixedly, without batting an eye. So much so to even forget how to breathe.

“Hey Miranda? Is that the person over there… perhaps…? (Reche)

“Yes Lady Leo Reche. It’s the person you requested. Fei Theophilus, I’m not sure if you’ve heard of him; but, he is a super promising apostle who at a sudden won three consecutive victories against the Play of the Gods in his newcomer debut match six months ago..” (Miranda)

“From today onwards, he will be assigned as a mentor to you, Lady Leo Reche. C’mon, Fei-kun~, say Hello.” (Miranda)

……..

“Umm… Fei-kun~” (Miranda)

……..

“Fei-kun… hello?“(Miranda)

She tapped me on his shoulders and called his name over and over again.

“Oi… Fei-kun~!” (Miranda)

……..

“………… ah ……” (Fei)

Fei came to his senses.

The girl, the former God called Leo Reche looked towards Fei’s face curiously from different angles as if assessing him.

“Human? What’s wrong?” (Reche)

“…… Fei-kun~, even though I also understand the cuteness of Lady Leo Reche, but that doesn’t allow you to fall in love with her on the first sight~. This will make you disqualified as an instructor altogether~.” (Miranda)

“No, no, no. You are mistaken head Manager!” (Fei)

Being suddenly aware of the situation, Fei turned his red face sideways in a panic.

Yep, let’s admit that I was mesmerized.

It is also true that my sight was glued to this girl named Leo Reshe.

But …… it was definitely not love at first sight.

It’s rather the other way round.

It’s perhaps not the first time seeing her. Rather, seeing someone like her

That is why I was continuously gawking at her.

…

It was mainly because … she looked so much alike …… like “that person”.

……..

Yes, for Fei, there has been a girl he had been continuously searching for a long time.

At present, he might not even know where she is, but her only clue was exactly this flame like Vermilion hair as present in this Goddess.

That is why he seems to have been subconsciously staring at her.

……..

“…… It’s nothing. I was just thinking.” (Fei)

“Hmm…” (Miranda)

Miranda pushes up her glasses on to the top of her nose and says. [xD the famous glasses stereotype actions]

……..

“Well, if Fei-kun is ok with that, then I will be proceeding myself with my leftover businesses~.” (Miranda)

[TL note: yep, strike when the iron is hot xD]

“Then, Lady Leo Reche, as to your request, here is the present best player in the Game Battles of our time. Cook him, grill him, (you can) do whatever you like to him~” (Miranda)

[TL note: somehow my respect for Miranda is growing in an abnormal rate. xD]

“I’ve been abandoned!? (Fei)

“Well then, I’ll be returning to my office do complete my tasks, ‘both of you’ can introduce yourselves to each other in the meantime. …… Fei-kun, be a good mentor, okay~~?” (Miranda)

Miranda, The head Manager leaves the room after tapping Fei on his shoulder.

[Do it well.]

……..

Of course, the meaning was not as the role of a mentor, but as the role of a watcher of this God.

. . .

And thus, I am now alone with God.

But is it okay to say, “both of you”, pair an Ex-Goddess with me, a human?

I myself will not dare to say such a thing though. Well, since it was the Head Manager, it might actually be not rude.

[TL: well just dump the whole blame to Miranda xD]

……..

“Umm, Eeettttoo~” (Fei)

. . .

“Oh, human~, well… for the time being, I welcome you here”. (Reche)

With the hem of her tank top dress fluttering, and the flame-like Vermilion hair resting on the sofa,

“Sit over there, I will just prepare the table in the meantime” (Reche)

Well, is it because of the difference between a Human’s and a God’s cultural understanding or perhaps consciousness…

This Ex-God, on the name of preparing the table, just swiped clean all the stuffs resting on top of the table out on the floor with great force.

But well, she did say she would prepare the table. What will she prepare? Is she going to perhaps some tea and sweets to welcome me?

Fei’s thoughts were utterly destroyed as soon as heard her next words.

“So~, this will be all of a sudden, but let’s get started.”(Reche)

it was all of a sudden indeed…

“Start what?” (Fei)

“Fufu… isn’t it obvious?” (Reche)

As the two sat on the either sides of the table,

Sitting face-to-face to the opposite end of each other,

her eyes twinkled. as she opened her hands wide and said the following:

“A GAME BATTLE BETWEEN ME AND YOU, A GOD AND A HUMAN!”
