Chapter 18 Side 1
<Creation God Ignus>
The former saint returns to the world of the Creation God Ignus.
As he watches Satsuki setting up a tent in this land before his eyes, his god trembles with anticipation.
In Ignus’s world, many sacred beasts and spirits were on the brink of extinction due to the actions of the human race. Despite numerous divine oracles, the royal families of various nations refuse to heed the words of the temple.
[The wider the range of her power extends, the more places sacred beasts and spirits will be protected.]
[Will you not tell her about being the former saint?]
[Ah. She doesn’t need to know. As long as she lives happily and joyfully on that mountain, that’s enough.]
[……Did she suffer terribly in her past life?]
Ignus does not answer Inari’s worried voice. That in itself is an answer.
[About the tablet we’re giving her.]
[Yes, it has almost the same functions as mine.]
[Yeah, the initial settings are for pioneering and construction, just those two.]
[As she earns more points, she’ll be able to download new features using them.]
[Inari, the world you come from has some interesting systems, huh.]
[My, my, the ingenuity of the human race is truly astounding.]
[……Really. Even though they’re the same human race, why do their evolutionary paths differ so much?]
Ignus’s voice sounds lonely.
Inari, unsure how to respond, looks down at the tablet in their hands meant for Satsuki. It looks exactly the same as Inari’s.
[Ah, right. Let’s give her some bonus points too. She’ll likely face some hardships, after all. Let’s discount the points needed for setting up a toilet and bath.]
[In that case, it seems the [Storage] function is already available for download.]
[Hmm? Well, that’s fine. We’ll need her to do a lot from now on.]
[That’s true…… She seems to be struggling over there too, so I hope she can live a fulfilling life here.]
[……Is that so?]
[It seems she has few ties to her family.]
[Ah, that might be…… my fault.]
[……Your blessing turned into a curse, after all.]
[But it’ll be fine here. After all, it’s the blessing of me, the Creation God.]
Even though he’s invisible, Inari can imagine Ignus’s smug face.
Inari turns his gaze to Satsuki, who has finished setting up the tent and is stretching with her hands on her hips. A soft smile appears on Inari’s face as they read the text on the window floating above her head.

The two gods leave Satsuki behind, vanishing from the spot without a sound.
