Chapter 9: The Story of Rekka Namidare

In order to meet Maine, we set off once again. Moving here meant walking through the clouds with no discernable path, which I have to say was a little unnerving.

“Hey, so, uh... Can’t we move like the gods do?”

“What does ‘like the gods do’ mean?”

“I dunno. Like warping or teleporting or something.”

“Those are human technologies, aren’t they?”

“So that’s a no?”

“It’s a no,” Sith said plainly as though that had been utterly obvious. “You lot think too highly of us deities.”

“I mean... You are gods, right?”

“Call us what you will, but all we did was create our worlds, you know? We might be almighty when it comes to them, certainly...”

But in the world the gods occupied— the highest level of the spiritual realm, as Yuuhi had called it— they were just like any other living creatures.

“Let’s say someone gave you a blank piece of paper. You could draw whatever you wanted on it, no? You could even erase and redraw things as you please. But that doesn’t mean anything you draw actually becomes reality. It’s just like that.”

“Yeah, okay... I mean, that kinda makes sense but it kinda doesn’t.”

In essence, the gods could do whatever they wanted with their worlds, but not anything outside of that.

“So, anyway, how far do we have to walk?”

“Not far.”

“Yet there’s no sense of distance in this world. It’s just clouds everywhere...”

“Yes, but...” Sith’s eyebrows furrowed. “We’re only walking like this in the first place to placate your human conception of movement, you know?”

“What?”

“The fundamental concepts and laws of the upper and lower worlds are quite different. If we didn’t give you the sensation of movement by walking or make this world look like it was above the clouds, you—”

I couldn’t understand what she said beyond that. She may have been using some divine language. I didn’t really get it, but I think that she was essentially trying to say the gods were being considerate by trying to match our perceptions of things.

“Well, either way, we just have to walk, right?”

“Hm? Well, yes. It’ll be about ten minutes in your conception of time, I believe.”

“Hmm...”

Ten minutes, huh? That was a little long to just walk along in silence.

“So, uh, there’s something I wanted to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“What exactly are your worlds to you goddesses?”

One way or another, both my world and Yuuhi’s only existed because Maine and Sith had created them. But the goddesses weren’t as, well, high and mighty as I’d expected. They didn’t seem to have any grand plans for their worlds, nor any real systems for managing them.

I guess she did do all this out of boredom...

So why had the goddess sisters even made their worlds? I was a little curious about that.

“Even if you ask me why, I don’t know how to answer. Hmm...” Sith pensively hummed in thought. “I guess you could say they’re an extended way of killing time.”

“Seriously?”

“Er, was that a bad way to put it?”

“On a spectrum of good and bad, yeah.
