Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 495
495 – The sun is hot, the sky is high, and the vegetation is green – 8
The anger of the sky, which instantly turned the god of vegetation into the god of robbers, was high and grand.
– …I know. My time has passed, and I have neither the ability nor the desire to bring back the same power. Because now the continent is an era of settled people, not nomads.
The eternal blue sky spoke words that made the listener feel sad, and he continued speaking in a somewhat trembling voice, perhaps because of his strong emotions.
– So, I was planning to stay stuck in the World Tree and live like an unemployed person. Since I helped revive the World Tree, Constantina won’t kick me out, and there’s no problem with living as a god if I just take a portion of the divine power that comes and goes through the World Tree.
I know. I heard a similar story when I first saw the eternal blue sky.
– I made that decision because I thought that even if I stayed quiet at the World Tree, there would be kids in the North who would remember me.
I instinctively bit my lip because of a certain marquis that came to mind.
Be patient. If you laugh now, the eternal blue sky may degenerate into an evil spirit.
– But, there is no child in the North who worships me as a god…! No matter how unemployed you are, does it make sense that there is no God?
‘It is a strange thing.’
As soon as the eternal blue sky shouted, it responded quickly.
Honestly, I think it’s a bit of a delicate situation. What kind of god is there without a god? It’s a new appeal. At least the cult leader has many followers.
– You are the only one who can be called my follower! You believe in my existence, I have stigmata, I have scars, and I communicate! You are the only proof that I am God!
These are truly tearful words. The only evidence that proves that the pagan who destroyed his faith is a god.
Just listening to it makes my heart pound. How on earth did things have to go wrong to end up like this?
– Take the only believer of an unemployed person like this? Even my believers, the hidden gods who resurrected the World Tree? And you are still the mother of plants!
I just remained silent in response to cries of exasperation.
Actually, there are a lot of things I want to say. I am closer to a believer of Enen than a believer of Eternal Blue Sky, and strictly speaking, Eternal Blue Sky is targeting Enen’s items. A new marauder named Constantina entered that situation.
No, you’re more of a looter than that, aren’t you? At least Constantina doesn’t consider me her own pupil or her honorary priest? You just expressed your gratitude for reviving the World Tree.
Of course, that thought was not shown to the eternal blue sky. I have no intention of creating an evil god.
– You are still energetic.
While she was thinking about such appropriate words of comfort, Konstantina’s voice rang out in her head.
What is it? Why are you talking about my head too? You think I’m some kind of communication relay.
– Hey! Get out of my godhead too! An honorary priest!
Eternal Blue Sky seemed to have similar thoughts and reacted strongly.
– Your honorary priest? Isn’t he the Blessed One of Enen?
– Yiikeik…!
However, I seemed at a loss for words due to the fact that it penetrated my solar plexus so strongly.
– Moreover, Enen has been indebted to you a lot, so it seems like he tolerates you being attached to this child. If that’s the case, isn’t that okay with me? There is no god who is as close to Enen as I am.
– You play with elves and fairies! There are a lot of your children over there!
– Isn’t it natural to express gratitude to the child who brought them back together?
I held the hand of Trixie who was next to me while listening to the conversation, which wasn’t intense… But rather one side getting angry.
Let’s let the gods take care of their own affairs. Aren’t I going through an event that I have never experienced before in my life?
“Knife?”
Trixie, who was blankly looking at the world tree, turned her head towards me.
“It will be an unforgettable day, right?”
I smiled brightly at Trixie and kissed her. Although most of the guests’ attention was focused on the resurrection of the World Tree and Constantina’s voice, the fact that this was our wedding did not change.
And as time goes by, this confusion will also become an event that made our wedding a highlight. As long as the world tree survives and as long as the race of elves exists—this wedding will forever remain in history.
– Me, I am the god of the sky! In the old days, there was only one god! So, you can give up at least one person as a courtesy to your elders!
– The sun embraces the believers with its warmth, and plants grow together next to the believers. However, since heaven is a noble place that believers long for but cannot reach, wouldn’t it be heavenly to live in solitude without any believers?
– What do you mean!
I did my best to ignore conversations that seemed to be one-sided.
– As civilization develops, the value of the sun increases, and the meager seeds become green plants over time. However, the sky will remain high and blue even as eons pass, so there is no need to go against nature and try to change.
Even I, a third party, was startled by Konstantina’s soft voice and ended up shaking.
Just the tone of voice is polite, ‘Your downfall is natural, so just be quiet.’ That’s what it means. I may be over-interpreting this, but I think it’s at least correct to point out the downfall of the eternal blue sky.
– … ….
With words so vicious, even the eternal blue sky closes its mouth again─
– Hmm…
‘Ah.’
– Ah.
He cries.
The sadness in the sky was pitiful and sorrowful.
– It’s not that I couldn’t do something to you… When you just became gods, I treated you well without being territorial…
– Of course I remember. If it weren’t for you, many gods would have fallen before they could even carry out their will. Enen didn’t just say it, he respected you for that.
– Really?
– Yes. I respect you too, but I was so happy to see you after such a long time that I made fun of you carelessly.
Still, the person who cried is working hard to appease me, so I believe they will calm down soon.
More than that, the heyday of the eternal blue sky was more splendid than I thought. Even if you only gather fragmentary information, he is almost at the level of a primordial god, a single god, and a senior who took care of latecomers. In that situation, he said to Shin, the latecomer, ‘You fell.’ When you hear the sound, even if you understand it with your head, your heart will be moved.
‘The fall of the sky is natural…’
If you think about it, the value of the sun remains firm forever, and vegetation covers the earth over time.
On the other hand, Haneul’s position is somewhat subtle. In the past, it was considered an unattainable utopia and was revered, but as humans develop, they will eventually conquer the sky. However, even if we conquer the sky, we cannot extract resources from it.
Okay, this isn’t Eternal Blue Sky’s fault, it’s a matter of position. If it had been space instead of the sky, it would have still gone well.
No.
“Honey.”
“Ah, my maternal grandmother.”
While I was organizing my thoughts, my maternal grandmother, who was praying in front of the World Tree, approached me.
“I’m sorry. It was a wedding for you guys, but I got distracted.”
She seemed genuinely embarrassed and sorry when her maternal grandmother, who was so excited, drooped her ears.
“It’s okay. It’s not like I don’t know what the World Tree means to the elves, and God’s resurrection was an amazing miracle in my opinion. On the contrary, seeing these auspicious omens occur one after another, I guess today is an auspicious day, just as my grandmother said.”
When I answered casually, my grandmother’s complexion brightened a little.
Actually, apart from my grandmother’s guilt, we are really okay. Trixie is half-elf, so she welcomed the revival of the World Tree, and just like I thought before, I think this chaos will be an element that will make our wedding shine. It is a benefit, not a loss.
“…By the way, my maternal grandmother. Can I ask you one question?”
“Say as much as you want.”
The only thing that bothers me is,
“What is that?”
It was a red bird standing on my grandmother’s head and staring at me.
It looked odd, but upon closer inspection, what I thought were feathers were all flames. That crazy bird’s head is setting fire to the head of someone else’s wife’s maternal grandmother.
But fortunately, my grandmother’s head did not catch fire. It’s also amazing.
“Ah, this one.”
My maternal grandmother answered my question with an honorific title.
I am anxious. What on earth is that hawk? My maternal grandmother, the leader of the elves, gave it an honorific title—
“He is the Spirit King of Fire.”
“Yes?”
King…? That hawk?
I secretly looked at the red hawk with an unexpected identity. Since the World Tree appeared as soon as it was resurrected, I assumed it was a spirit or something similar, but I had no idea it was a king.
And then the hawk opened its beak at my gaze.
– ▷§▥@▣※◎
?
What the f*ck. What are you talking about?
When an unimaginable being said something unimaginable, I could only blink blankly. Is that perhaps the language of spirits? Even if you are a spirit king, if you come to a world where humans live, isn’t it polite to speak in the language of the human world?
At my reaction, the hawk closed its beak again and then opened it again.
– What are you doing?
…
‘Is the translator broken?’
Well, there are all these guys.
After that, there were several errors in communication, but somehow the correct language came out of the hawk’s beak.
– Are you feeling okay now?
“Ah, yes…”
– Ugh, sorry. It’s been a while since I came to this world, so I was confused about what language I used. I half-forgot about it because I thought I would never come again.
Hawk— No, he nodded blankly at the words of the Fire Spirit King.
Up until now, he seemed like a mutant hawk because he spoke strange language, but seeing him speak human language made me realize that he was a spirit king.

– By the way, I heard from what Constantina said that you helped revive the World Tree?
“It was a coincidence.”
– No matter the cause, the result is important. Thank you, I thought the spirit world was boring and crazy.
The Fire Spirit King fluttered his wings and moved to sit on my head, then sat down in a position as if he was incubating an egg.
It’s warm. For a subject whose whole body is like a flame, I feel just the right warmth.
– Those guys will thank you too─
– Kieeek!
Before the Fire Spirit King finished speaking, a desperate scream was heard.
As I hurriedly turned my head, the World Tree, or more precisely, the snake-shaped spirit hovering near the World Tree, was captured by the fairies and reduced to a rope in a tug-of-war.
– He is the spirit king of the land.
“That’s right.”
How could such a precious person end up like that?
