Dropped Into Another World Extra5

Chapter 5 – Hikari

「It’s been a while since we talked. Are you okay now?」

I nod to goddess Aion.

It’s great, I’m no longer like before.

Seeing that I’m relieved, Goddess Aion was relieved too.

I feel like I should apologize to Goddess Aion given my attitude.

 

Goddess Aion has no bad intentions.

She just greeted me as usual because I was in front of her.

However, I had a strong fear of gods before which made me panic when there was a god around.

It was just bad luck that she was the one in front of me.

I did not scream because I couldn’t speak but l was very confused and I even cried a lot while trembling.

Boss-san, who noticed that, wrapped Goddess Aion with a web and pulled her away from me.

That lasted for 10 seconds.

I was shaking with fear but when Goddess Aion was sent away in front of me, even I was surprised that I’m no longer trembling.

 

When everyone knew that I was afraid of Goddess Aion, they started working together to make me never meet with Goddess Aion again.

However, I saw her often because she comes into this world often.

At first, just seeing her makes me tremble. However, when I tried observing her closely, I saw her playing tricks on Fluffy and Light Blue, making them soaked in water.

The two fell on the field so the golems guarding the field started chasing them around.

My fear of god started fading seeing that she’s too different from the gods I knew.

The other day, I don’t know what happened but, the one eye golems made her sit on seiza and lectured her for an hour.

According to his lordship, Goddess Aion is one of the greater gods but looking at her, she’s not even noble.

I sometimes wondered if it was an act to fool those who are around me but that’s just a waste of time.

Goddess Aion spent time here on a whim just to have a good time.

According to his lordship, “She must be under a lot of stress given that a lot of problems are being forced on her from both above and below.”.

When I think of her as a stressed goddess, any remaining fear inside me fades away.

「Do you feel anything bad? If you’re scared just say it right away.」

Chai, who’s next to me, stares at me.

I smiled and told him I’m okay.

I looked around and didn’t find Koa.

I tilted my neck since I find it unusual.

「Hikari, the fenrirs are having a Fenrir-only meeting so she’s not here.」

His lordship realizes what I’m confused about.

I see, so that’s why they’re not together.

Is that why Chai’s ears are duller than usual?

Koa and Chai really get along well.

I guess that’s what a loving couple is all about.

「Ehto, can I tell you something?」

Goddess Aion looked at me.

I was thinking a lot of things that I forgot she was right in front of me.

Once again, I nodded to Goddess Aion.

「Thank you. I have captured that god who kidnapped Hikari from his birthplace and the gods who collaborated with him as well as the god who experimented on him and all the gods involved. They are now chained up in a dungeon controlled by the god of creation, the highest god. I consulted Akira and he said that Hikari, the victim, should be the one to decide their punishment. Thus, I’m hoping you can tell me what to do with them.」

That is something his lordship has told me before.

He said they’ve captured the guy who was experimenting with me and I can decide what I want to do with him.

He said whatever my judgment is, that’s what will be implemented.

「You don’t have to think too hard.」

I nodded to his lordship.

「If you think you don’t want to get involved, you can just throw it to Goddess Aion.」

Eh? Is that okay?

I look at his lordship in surprise.

His lordship puts his hand on my head and strokes it.

His warmth felt good.

「Anything is fine. We just want you to decide so that you won’t have regrets.」

I see.

Anything is fine.

So that’s why they don’t want me to think too heavily about it.

So, what should I do with them?

I feel pain in my chest when I think about it.

I’m sure that if they came in front of me, I would scream in fear.

I don’t mind Goddess Aion being around me but not them.

I’m still scared.

What do I want to do?

I don’t want to see them again. I never want to see them again.

「Hikari, once you decide what you want to do with them, just put your hand on this ball and put your feelings on it. This is called ball of communication, which conveys your feelings to the other person even if you can’t speak.」

「Whoa, that’s a useful item.」

His lordship looks at the ball of communication that Goddess Aion is holding.

It’s a transparent ball with blue, yellow, and green colors.

I feel like I’ve seen something similar somewhere.

Where was it?

「This looks like a marble.」

Hearing his lordship’s words, I look at the ball of communication again.

Right, it looks like a marble with three different colors that are mixed together,

I suddenly miss….

My mother once brought a bag of marbles for my oneechan.

Oneechan showed them to me and said they were beautiful and I agreed.

I miss her but I’m sure she’s gone now.

I don’t know how many months I’ve been locked away but it seems like a long time.

Yes, I don’t want to have anything to do with them anymore.

I want them to experience everything they did to me but I don’t want to fall to their level.

However, I want to at least lock them up like what they did to me.

I hope they are trapped in that darkness for a longer time than I had….

「Have you decided?」

I gently placed my hand on it as Goddess Aion looked and offered the ball of communication.

I felt a chill and my fingers trembled.

「We will do as you wish.」

I nodded to Goddess Aion and wished in my heart that they would be locked up in a place I was locked up longer than I was locked up.

As I removed my hand from the ball of communication, for some reason, I felt uneasy.

Could it be that I had wished for something very terrible?

Should I cancel it…..

「There’s a phrase for them, they deserve it.」

I look at his lordship as he stares and smiles at me.

「Hikari, you are not their only victim. Many of them died without being able to convey their bitterness and sorrow. The gods who are the mastermind of the plot must be punished, as well as those who had a hand in it. Whatever Hikari decided to do, it’s not something terrible. Having said that, I won’t stop you if you want to cancel it.」

Victims other than me.

I remember.

Everyone was crying and asking for help…..and they were laughing.

Yes, they were laughing at us who were asking for help.

I don’t mean to hurt them.

I only wanted to trap them in darkness where we, their victims, were.

Just like they did to us.

I looked at Goddess Aion and nodded.

I will neither change nor cancel it.

「Alright, your wish will come true.」

As soon as Goddess Aion said that, she stood up.

「Do you want to know the outcome?」

I shook my head as a reply to Goddess Aion’s question.

I don’t want to get involved with them so I don’t even want to know.

「I understand. Is it okay if I tell Akira about your wish? Or is it a secret?」

A secret?

Do we need to keep it a secret?

When I tilted my head, Goddess Aion shook her head.

「That was a stupid question. I’ll tell Akira about it myself. Akira, can I have a moment of your time?」

「Of course. Hikari, you must be tired so you can take a rest.」

I nodded to his lordship.

I really didn’t do anything but I felt somewhat tired.

I get up from the chair I was sitting in and look around.

Futa comes flying, perhaps noticing that the conversation is over.

「Hikari! Have a snake with everyone!」

Futa, who was flying full of energy, flew around me in circles.

There are several children being raised by his lordship in this house but for some reason, this Futa has taken a liking to me.

I was puzzled at first.

I had no idea why he was like that.

Even now, I don’t know why, but I can’t help but smile when I’m around the cheerful Futa.

「Today, we have baked bread filled with fruit sauce as our snack. I look forward to it.」

Futa landed on the ground, squeezed my hand, and started walking.

Walking slowly along with Futa, we arrived at a lake at the corner of the square.

There, a simple table had been set up and snacks and juice had been prepared.

「Were you scared? Are you alright?」

Boss-san’s words drew everyone’s attention to me.

I smiled and nodded, pleased with their warm gazes.

I’m glad I came under his lordship.

I’m glad that I’m alive.
