I Made a Game Featuring Constellations-Chapter 55

Shhhhhhhhhh

The sound of water cascading washed away the weariness of the day.

I stood beneath the showerhead, enchanted by water magic, letting the warm streams hit me directly. The heat seemed to melt away the swirling thoughts and worries of the future that constantly filled my mind.

This was one of the rare moments I could spend alone, without a Constellation clinging to me.

At first, they claimed they needed to watch over me to protect me from Abyssal attacks. It took considerable effort to convince them otherwise.

“Even so,” I had said, “following me into the bathroom or shower is absolutely not okay.”

But now... what was this?

[You should take pride in it, so why cover it up?]

[From all the knowledge I've accumulated, I’d say it ranks quite high!]

New goddesses had entered my life—quite literally.

These were the girls who had once been experimental subjects alongside the Goddess of Wisdom.

They were victims of a horrific project, sacrificed to create an artificial Constellation of Wisdom.

Though they had died in the process, the divinity consolidated during the release of the Versia episode recently brought them back to life.

While they hadn’t fully awakened to their godhood like the Goddess of Wisdom, their previous roles as sacrificial vessels for the Constellation of Wisdom had allowed them to be reborn as deities.

Unlike the former investors, the Constellation of Wisdom had never been tainted by the sins, but somehow, these girls had still been resurrected.

The Goddess of Wisdom said it was because of me—that I was "special."

I didn’t entirely understand, but it felt like a miracle.

We’d recently met for the first time in person to talk, but...

“Were we close enough for this?”

Seeing me naked and starting a conversation? Absolutely not.

[Hehehe, of course, we are!]

[You saved our lives! So, naturally, you need to take responsibility.]

“W-What?”

I hurriedly grabbed my bathrobe to cover myself, stunned into confusion by their nonsense.

[If it weren’t for you, we’d have vanished completely.]

[That’s right. Since you saved us, you have to take responsibility for us.]

“Take responsibility...? What are you talking about?”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It wasn’t as if pulling someone out of the water meant you owed them everything.

Even though they were in spiritual form, their nearly bare appearances pressed against me, making my head spin.

“P-Please, get off me for a moment!”

I managed to create some distance.

[Our prince is so innocent, isn’t he? Hehe.]

[Oh my, our prince is still a virgin, isn’t he?]

They giggled as if enjoying my reaction.

The irony was that they weren’t exactly experienced themselves.

Did they think I didn’t know how they used to whisper naughty jokes to one another, sharing what they’d read or heard?

“If you keep this up, what will happen if the Goddess of Wisdom finds out? You know her authority allows her to see everything.”

The Goddess of Wisdom’s authority: the ability to know all knowledge within the continent.

It was a terrifying power, one that the Research Director had once tried to suppress, though his demise as "Gelatinous Abomination" meant her authority was now unchecked.

It was fortunate she was on our side—otherwise, we’d be doomed.

[Oh, is our prince such a devoted lover?]

[Already under her thumb? That won’t do. A prince should dominate women, wielding that impressive... asset of his.]

The more they talked, the more dizzying the conversation became.

“Wait! It’s not like that at all! We’re not in that kind of relationship!”

[...Sister, I think we misjudged him.]

[You’re right. He flirts with so many women, only to deny it later? How many girls is he planning to string along? Our prince is such a bad boy.]

“No, I mean... Wait—ack!”

Before I could react, the two goddesses lunged at me.

Even in their spiritual forms, they used divine energy to exert physical force, pinning me down on the bed.

[Don’t worry! She won’t find out!]

[That’s right. Even with all her power, there are limits. She can’t see through divine beings or those from otherworldly origins.]

One of them whispered into my ear, her warm, sweet breath tickling my skin.

[The Goddess of Wisdom can’t see anything about you. You’re from another world, remember?]

So even her omniscience didn’t apply to me?

[Exactly! That “wise virgin” might act all composed, but she’s inexperienced. If anything happened, she’d be a stuttering mess.]

Oho—wait, no!

“What are you doing now?”

While I was scrambling to keep my bathrobe tied, they had begun undoing the knot.

[So, prince, have you had any “experiences”?]

“E-Experiences?”

[Have you been with her yet?]

“We’re not like that!”

I barely had time to finish before they giggled mischievously.

[Then we’ll just have to be first. Before she can.]

“W-What?!”

[This is called NTR. Or maybe BSS would be more accurate.]

[Our poor "wise virgin" can cry herself to sleep while watching from the sidelines.]

As they fully undid the knot and began pulling the robe from my shoulders, the air in the room suddenly froze.

[What was that about crying herself to sleep?]

A bone-chilling presence filled the room.

The two mischievous goddesses immediately stiffened.

Slowly, their heads turned to see the Goddess of Wisdom standing behind them, arms crossed, glaring down at them.

[Crying herself to sleep, you said?]

[W-We didn’t mean it like that, Wisdom!]

[Sister, listen! This isn’t what it looks like! We weren’t really going to do anything! Remember our promise? Please!]

[Oh, we’ll definitely need a “talk.”]

The Goddess of Wisdom’s cold, menacing gaze bore into them as she grabbed them both by the napes and dragged them toward the heavens.

“Wow, that’s intense...”

Surely, she wouldn’t punish her friends too harshly. After all, they had sacrificed themselves for her.

Once the goddesses were gone, peace finally returned to my room.

A gentle breeze carried a beautiful letter down from the heavens.

To my dear prince,

I deeply apologize for the trouble my friends caused you. I have no excuses...

The rest of the letter was filled with her earnest apologies.

...so I’ll make it up to you with my body. See you tonight.

Wait. What was that last part?

Was she joking?

Rip!

Before I could react, a tentacle shot out, grabbed the letter, and crumpled it.

[The Dreamteller looks at you with concern, asking if you’re okay.]

“...Constellation?”

[The Dreamteller says they called for help, fearing for your safety.]

Oh. So it wasn’t the Wisdom Goddess’s authority that alerted her.

It was my Constellation who brought her here.

“Haha. Thank you, Constellation. That was close.”

If it weren’t for her, I might’ve lost something precious today.

[The Dreamteller tearfully reminds you that you are their Apostle.]

“Of course, Constellation. I’ve told you before, haven’t I? I’ll always be your Apostle. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Was she concerned because I’d been involved with other gods lately?

She needn’t be.

None of the others could help me make the game I envisioned.

Without the power of dreams, I was nothing more than a mundane academy student.

[The Dreamteller lets out a pitiful bweep and starts crying.]

I hugged her tentacles, patting them gently to comfort her.

But really... why tentacles, Constellation?

Of all things, why tentacles?

***

The announcement for the first official broadcast of [Akashic Archive] was posted on the in-game interface.

**- They’re doing an official broadcast!

What’s the broadcast even about?**The news of this milestone broadcast spread quickly, garnering attention not only from the mortal world but even from the heavens.

[A broadcast from that game, is it?]

[Do you think they’d let me be part of it if I asked?]

[First, I’ll need to make a good impression on the God of Dreams.]

Excitement rippled across countless realms, as both mortals and deities alike eagerly turned their gaze toward this unprecedented event.
