- 312: Return of Mother Earth
“This girl…she hasn’t been speaking for a while now.” (Coacervate)
(I was about to forget she was even here.) (Nova)
“This is her we are talking about. She was probably going to say ‘I think so as well!’ after we have arrived at a decision.” (Yorishiro)
“Truly an easily pressured woman!” (Shiva)
The one they were speaking about in whatever way they pleased was Mother Earth Mantle, one of the four Base Element Gods.
In the first place, the very reason why we are in the middle of the desert is because of this person.
We went through a lot of trouble bringing her back from the Black Hole.
This might have been the most trouble I have had since incarnating as Kuromiya Haine. Leaving aside the irony that the most trouble I have had was to undo my own ability.
At any rate, it seems like Mantle was really caught in the Schwarzschild radius.
I am glad.
She was released at the same time as the Black Hole was destroyed.
‘Welcome back, Mantle’, is it okay for me to say that?
In the first place, I was the one who threw her into the Black Hole. If I were to welcome her with a smile, just how would she feel?
Now that she has returned, will we get a repeat of what happened before?
“Oi, what’s the matter Haine? Get to business quickly.” (Shiva)
Shiva hurried me, but my legs were heavy.
“When actually facing her, I remembered a lot of things of the past. So I was wondering what I should say to her first…” (Haine)
(What are you pulling out after so late in the game?! Every single one of us here are filled with past grudges!) (Nova)
“It is truly a state where we would want to have the head of the other.” (Shiva)
“If it is okay, I can talk things out with Mantle-san.” (Coacervate)
“““Not now.”””
If Coacervate, the very definition of radical change, were to be the first to speak, it would simply confuse Mantle who had just returned to this world.
We should be a bit more careful here and check for her reaction!
Deciding this, I resolve myself when…
“…”
Yorishiro silently approached Mantle.
Of course, her past with Mantle is not shallow either.
Mantle is currently in the temporary body of a Fairy, and she was facing Yorishiro with that body withholding the silence.
“…Ah, could you be Inflation?” (Mantle)
As expected of a God, Mantle noticed the identity of the God soul that was deep inside Yorishiro.
As if answering this, Yorishiro stretches out her hand and…slaps Mantle.
“““(GYAAAAAA!!)””””
Even us as spectators were letting out big screams.
Moreover, Yorishiro didn’t stop at one time, she went for two, three, and more as she hits the head of Mantle’s fairy.
“[Holy Light Slap] [Holy Light Slap] [Holy Light Slap] [Holy Light Slap]!” (Yorishiro)
“Hyaaa~, it hurts. Please stop it, Inflation-san!” (Mantle)
Gyaaaa!!
What are you doing?! What are you doing, Yorishiro-san?!
Even going as far as putting light divine power on your palms, isn’t that to certainly provide damage to Mantle?!
I hurriedly hold Yorishiro to stop her.
Shiva grabs the hand that was about to be brought down, Coacervate goes in between the both of them to cover for Mantle, and Nova was flustered and moving around aimlessly in his cow body.
“What are you doing?! What are you doing, Yorishiro-san?! Mantle finally returned, and we were thinking about getting along from now on, and yet, this treatment is way too much!” (Haine)
“It is the contrary, Haine-san. This is the proper education for Mantle.” (Yorishiro)
Education?
“You should know as well. This Mantle may look like a light woman that gets pressured easily, but deep down, she is extremely dangerous.” (Yorishiro)
“Easily pressured Mantle. Yes-woman Mantle. Yes-woMantle!” (Coacervate)
(You, shut up for a moment.) (Nova)
We ignore Coacervate who had a radical change in character.
The danger deep inside of Mantle huh.
It is true. Leaving aside Coacervate and Nova who had clear animosity towards humans, the reason why it reached a catastrophe like having only Mantle be erased by the Black Hole was because of this.
Within the four Base Elements, she was one that thought decently of humans.
