What should I do to erase "His" interest in me? Just as she asked that in her heart. Narukami said, "Probably and this is why I want to help you. As an exchange, could you say my question to "Him"? Perhaps, tonight in your dream, you going to meet "Him" again."

Aya still couldn't accept such development and believe this was a dream! Not that she hated it but meeting a god in your dream is a sign that your life going to shift from "normal" to "madness and a living hell."​​

Even if the god was benevolent. Something in exchange must be paid! Either "He" wanted her to do something, for instance.

"Owner, do I have to save the world?" She asked worriedly. The reason why that question appeared in her mind was due to the fact the stories she read.

The cliche of a chosen one that decided by the gods.

After a short pause, Narukami answered with no change in his facial expression, "Perhaps or maybe not, I do have some guesses. "He" mess with you like a prank call or "He" needs something to be done in this world and sends a revelation to a human which interested "Him" or "He" guides you to become the savior of this world."

Though, there are some plot holes in those speculations. If "He" wanted to do something, "He" could just say a word and done! Is there any need for a human to achieve what "He" wanted despite with a word, he could do so within seconds? It doesn't make sense, Narukami wondered in his heart.

"Because it's not fun if everything's achieved in an instant." A voice suddenly rang in his mind! The voice was ethereal and mixed with many voices! Children, women, and men. Any kinds of voices were whirled into one.

Oddly enough, it didn't hurt his mind! The crazy ravings he got from drinking a potion to level up were not worse than the voice he just heard.

Narukami frowned and his heart slightly thumped. He was surprised when heard those words and the voice was somewhat familiar. His pace suddenly stopped.

He hesitated for a moment but proceed to continue his line of thought.

I've hears this voice before, is it "Him"? "He" could read my mind? Then "He" must've heard all of my thoughts all this time, very well. I'll ask this then, what are you doing? Narukami immediately knew what was going on and waiting for an answer.

He was a little flustered but it was under control.

This was because the god they were talking about out of the blue talked to him! 

"Isn't this world to your liking? I tailor-made this universe especially for you. Are you honored?" "He" replied carefreely, not upholding "His" status as a god.

I would appreciate it if you give me my lost memories, Narukami answered in his mind.

"My boss is the one who seals your memory, I can't simply give it to you, if so. You wouldn't have to be resurrected many times. I could only give you some clues."

Your boss? What did my past self do? Narukami became unsettled. Something he did before he got reincarnated and his memories were sealed by this God's boss?

In this regard, Narukami didn't find it surprising that the god he currently talking to has a superior and above the latter, there was none. The boss was the strongest.

"I can't probe much further. You should gain some fragments of your memories from your past lives. Seriously, you're lucky that "He" is benevolent."

Narukami was somewhat delighted and relieved. He then changed the topic.

Why did you cast your gaze on me? Aren't gods had pride as high as a peacock? Aren't they view humans as insects?

"You seem to hate them? Heh, don't group me with those fools." "He" replied as "He" scoffed.

But you're the one who destined them to be like that… Narukami silently said as he lampooned.

Still, they are indeed prideful and irritating. This reminds me. When did talking with gods became so easy? Narukami thought to himself in a self-deprecating way.

"Owner? Is something wrong?" Aya asked as she noticed Narukami fell silent.

Snapping to reality, he replied, "you don't have to worry about "Him." As long as you do what "He" told you, "He" will reward you generously."

Narukami expected that "He" going to say something but he was a bit expectant. No words sounded in his mind. Still, he believed "He" heard what he just said.

"Will it affect my life?"

"No, "He" isn't going to force you. You could reject his request and when that happened, "He" will cast "His" eyes to someone else."

In "His" eyes, humans were tools for enjoyment. Thus, missing one wasn't that much of a problem for "Him". There were many humans out there which he could use as a toy or a tool to sate "His" boredom.

"Owner, you seem to know "Him" quite well."

He talked about "Him" as though talking about an old friend, of course, arouse suspicion.

"Is that so? I read many light novels about gods. They have always something in common, thus making it easy to predict their actions and minds." Narukami doubted his words managed to fool her.

Yet Aya did.

"Actions and minds… So these are the only two things that gods and humans have in common."

She seems to misunderstand my words but that works… 

"More or less, yeah." Narukami nodded in agreement.

After they exited the branch, they walked side by side in silence.

When they arrived at a bus stop and while waiting for an Ubbher driver that Aya ordered, she asked, "Owner, what is the question would you like to ask "Him"?"

"Ask "Him" why "He" did this."

Narukami's question was a bit vague. Aya wanted to know what it meant but decide to purse her lips. 

Aya nodded, "okay."

After that, it was silent and it lasted quite a while. As the branch was far from the business area, one could hear a loud motorcycle engine, police sirens, and once in a while an echoed and muffled honk.

The coldness getting intense as it slowly past midnight. It was pretty late and dangerous for a girl to go back home alone.

"Do you want me to accompany you until you reach your house?"

Aya shook her head and Narukami didn't say anything. 

After five straight minutes of silence, a car slowly approached them. Before it stopped before them.

Narukami said, "I'll go around to search for your heart. The night is where my strength reached its peak."
