“Hm…? Hang on.”
“What’s wrong?”

After learning that I was a femboy, Shiva inclined his head as if he was wondering about something.

“If you’re not a girl, Ayumu, that means the relationship between you is quite a bit different, isn’t it? I saw Kanata and Sakura on a date in the zoo, after all… She never went there before since she was blind, right?”
“Right, about that…”

Kanata briefly explained how Sakura’s eyesight had been restored, without going into much detail. When he did that, Shiva started to tear up.

“I see… I get it, it happened in Anazumu… You were lucky in several ways… Thinking of how you looked after and protected Sakura when she couldn’t see, I just can’t hold back my tears…”
“Uhm… yes… thank you… for caring?”

Sakura’s words of thanks appeared more like a question. It was understandable, we were dealing with an evil god, after all. The previous two had been our enemies.

“Gotcha… I can’t wait to see your kids. They’ll be sure to be world-class beauties… or handsome guys.”
“W-Well, you’ll still have to wait six or more years for that…”
“That’s true. Even a god like me wouldn’t give my blessing to a pregnancy at 14. Well, the two of you would be fine either way, and I’m not one who can bestow blessings in the first place.”

Where the hell is he going with this? He’s actually talking like some grandpa from the neighborhood. This feels wrong, completely off.

It even threw Kanata off.

“Anyway, the main thing I wanted ask about is whether Ayumu and Mika are dating… Come to think of it, they did kiss.”
“And when you saw that, you assumed…”
“Mika was a lesbian trying to win Ayumu over.”
“I see.”

Still, we had never kissed in front of the Jizou statue. Well, given the way he talked earlier, it was probably safe to assume that he could observe whatever place he wanted.

“Alright… I thought for sure that Ayumu would end up with Shuu and Mika would give up since they’re the same gender. Makes sense, Mika never was interested in girls.”
“You… you’re off! That’s not how things went!”

If I was a genuine girl, then that really would make Mika a lesbian. Well… he wasn’t completely wrong since we had kissed in Anazumu while I was female.
Not like I can say that out loud now. Absolutely not.

“That means, Shuu’s sweetheart is this wolfkin…”
“R-Rir…”
“Right, Rir.”

Shiva tried to smile as if to put her at ease, but it failed since he was still in clown make-up.

“By the way, Shuu. Surtr can only take over either a Sage filled with true fury or someone of the lineage who can summon Sages… How in the world did they manage to enrage you? Did something happen to Ayumu and Mika when you were over there? Based on experience, the majority of the lineage able to summon Sages have nasty personalities.”
“Oh… no, it was Surtr himself who did something to Rir…”
“So, he turned her to ash? How tragic… In that case, how is she alive right now? I could ask Ayumu and Mika the same. How are you alive after coming in contact with Samaeyl’s feathers? How is this possible? Both cause instant death and should be irreversible by either revival medicine or magic.”

Instant death attacks with no possibility of resurrection. It was easy to guess why he considered those genuinely devastating… if you didn’t have access to Amritas. To begin with, we owed those potions a great deal for being able to spend our lives so comfortably.

“Yes, we used Amritas on the corpses. Well, Ayumu did mostly.”
“Yup.”
“I see, so you managed to discover such valuable medicine… Still, it’s strange. Normally, no one would have more than ten bottles of those at hand, but this host remembers you bringing the full populace of a country back to life.”
“I managed that because I can mass produce them.”
“You mass produce them!? What in the world!?”

He seemed incredibly shocked. Even more than when he learned I was male.

“Mass producing Amritas… Do you understand what you’re doing!?”
“Uhm, I usually only share them with friends and family. Is that an issue?”

That wasn’t completely correct. Since I also made them available to the king and his friends.

“Well… it is the divine restoration item, able to grant eternal youth and rejuvenation, able to bring even those back to life in perfect condition who originally should never have been able to come back.”
“I mean, that’s why I don’t just hand them out and manage them pretty carefully.”

I kept the fact to myself that I pretty much guzzled them down like soft drinks until the king pointed this out. I’d probably get scolded otherwise.

“I guess this works. In any case, I was worried that anything happened to you…”
“Wh-Why do you care so much about us?”
“I mean, it’s because I’ve known you since you were little.”

So, he’s genuinely like some old man from the neighborhood? This is all wrong… geez.

“By the way…”
“Hrm, what is it, Kanata?”
“This might be blunt, but are you ultimately our enemy, Shiva? Or are you a friend?” Kanata boldly asked. “The other two evil gods were hostile to us.”

I checked the time. Had it really just been 30 minutes since we left the house?

“Well, about that.”
