Chapter 881 - Unknowing Improvement of Workplace

Greetings and thank you to the Six Kings With the Ten Demons done for the time being, all thats left would be the Four Great Demon Dragons, the Seven Princesses, and Kuros family. But to be honest, Im pretty tired after meeting the Ten Demons, so Id like to take some time off.

In particular, for the Seven Princesses, although I know Camellia-san and Ariel-san, I still need to greet five more of them, so it will definitely take me some time to greet all of them.

In any case, today I went out to the city to have a change of pace, and I happened to see a person I recognized Shea-san. She had come to buy extremely spicy snacks in the past, so she might be visiting Symphonias royal capital from time to time.

[h.e.l.lo, Shea-san. What a coincidence.]

Anyhow, since I had seen her, I called out to Shea-san, to which she looked back at me with a big smile on her face Unnn?

[Ahh, if it isnt Kaito? Im glad to see youre doing well.]

[Sorry, I got the wrong person.]

Thats strange. I thought it was Shea-san, but it seems like it was just another person that looked like her No, I mean, there was no way that Shea-san would respond to me with such a refres.h.i.+ng smile.

For her to not even click her tongue at me, its obvious that I got the wrong person is what I thought

[Whats with that reaction, are you mocking me?]

[No, whats with that reaction?, you ask Thats what Id like to ask you Did something good happen?]

[That isnt the case. Its just that Ive realized how necessary you are to this world, so I thought I should try to be more friendly to you to some extent.]

[Shea-san, I think youve been working too hard and are sick. Should I lead you to the hospital?]

[Ill smack you.]

Even just a while ago, she was wondering if I was among the intelligent beings of the world, but now, Im tilting my head when her Affection Meters have become this high.

[I mean, how necessary I am to this world What do you mean?]

[Its because youre here Because youre here G.o.d of Fate is working!]

[Ahh, so thats why Im necessary for the world huh.]

[Im really grateful for this Really grateful!]

[I- It was that bad that you had to say it that way huh]

I could already see what was going on, but the expression on Shea-sans face was so sad that I couldnt help but wonder what sorts of hards.h.i.+p she had gone through.

[Let me tell you, a.s.sisting G.o.d of Fate-sama is much harder than you think. First of all, as you well know, G.o.d of Fate wont work. No matter how hard we, her direct subordinates, work, our progress would always stop at the part where they needed G.o.d of Fate-samas direction and approval. And even though I desperately asked her to do her job of course, she just wont listen to me.]

[Of course, she wouldnt.]

[She doesnt listen to our words, so we would ask G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce-sama to scold her, but even then, she would only do a little bit of work. Really just a little bit of work Then, after making a bit of progress, she begins to grumble and escapes from the temple. After that, G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce-sama would have to catch her and scold her again, and she gets a little more work done and so, such a repet.i.tive cycle continues.]

[Isnt that h.e.l.l already]

I thought I was well aware of the fact that Fate-san doesnt do her job, but when I heard it from her direct subordinates, who are actually affected by her laziness, the situation looked pretty bad.

[The work progressed little by little at a tortoise-like pace, and just before it became unmanageable, we finally completed it but then, when we were finally able to move after working ourselves to death, that was only for finis.h.i.+ng one job. After we finished that one job, we would find that the next job was already nearing its due, and such a cycle went on and on.]

[..]

Its a death march that almost brings tears to my eyes. It seems that Shea-san, who reported directly to Fate-san and had the highest position among the High-ranking G.o.ds, was being worked very hard. Its no wonder she would want to take it out on me when we first met.

[However, since you and G.o.d of Fate-sama became lovers, G.o.d of Fate-sama has been voluntarily working with us, and albeit irregularly, she still does so once a month. It was apparently because she doesnt want G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce-sama to interrupt her time with you]

[Ahh~~ Speaking of which, she did say something like that.]

[This was a revolution for us. G.o.d of Fate-sama holds a tremendous ability, which allows us to get all the work we have acc.u.mulated done in a day. This really helps us Even though it happens irregularly, she definitely does it at least once a month, so we can save the work that needs G.o.d of Fate-samas direction and approval, and we can just go on with our other work.]

Its true that the mental burden is different when you know that the work will be completed even if its only once a month, rather than not knowing when the work would be finished.

[I was surprised. For me to have so much free time on my hands In fact, I have so much time on my hands that Im not even sure what to do. I, as well as all the other G.o.ds who are directly under G.o.d of Fate-sama, are truly grateful to you. Even G.o.d of Time and s.p.a.ce-sama was praising you.]

[T- That much]

[Yeah, after all, her mental composure is completely different. She doesnt have to ask G.o.d of Fate-sama to do her work while desperately trying to keep her in a good mood, lest she wouldnt work at all. As long as she sets a deadline of around a month, we can be sure that all of the work will be completed on time It is such a wonderful thing.]

I see. I could see now why Shea-sans Affection Meter had dramatically increased. I mean, all she has to do is work diligently once a month, and theyre praising me this much Seriously, how much work did you run away from, Fate-san

Serious-senpai : [I see, in fact, her specs are so high that she could easily get a months worth of work done if she wanted to huh.]

? ? ? : [Well, in Fate-sans case, she was the type of person who really could do things, but doesnt want to. Since she and Kaito-san became lovers, she dramatically improved, and Kaito-sans Affection Meter in Chronois-sans eyes also dramatically increased.]
