Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~ Vol. 11 - Chapter 625 - Giran's 2nd trial, kindred spirits

It seed like the First Angel Lupto had co even though she had seen through Allen's plan.

(Hm? Ahh, I see. So Lupto is like , we're like kindred spirits.)

Allen understood Lupto's situation thanks to his experience as a businessman in his past life.

The Gods of the divine realm had a certain hierarchy, with Ela on top, but not all Gods liked to follow that hierarchy, and it was Lupto's duty to regulate it.

In his past life, Allen had been a businessman, and there had been tis when his superiors would disagree, even amongst themselves, and would give Allen orders he did not like.

(I guess that's the relationship between Ela and Garm.)

Sotis his manager would give him an order that went against what the supervisor wanted.

In those cases, his only option was to inform the supervisor, who had more authority, and receive a clear indication, though that would sotis upset the manager.

Now the sa was happening between Gods, and that put Allen and Lupto at odds.

Both of them were just silently looking at each other now, until Allen decided to speak.

"I realize I've put you in a tricky situation, I apologize for causing so much trouble."

'Allen, you've really been testing the limits of the Gods' patience with this stunt.'

"That wasn't my intention at all, I didn't an to cause any dissension."

Lupto was well aware of why Allen had gone to talk with the God of Wind.

(So Lupto noticed that too, I guess it makes sense as she's the First Angel serving the God of Creation. Then again, it's also Ela who has to actually turn Ra into a God, all the prayers of the world won't matter a thing if he decides not to do that.)

Allen's visit to the God of Wind's Temple and his provocation had forced Ela to act.

But if he had placed all those magic devices without that visit, Ela would have been far more enraged, and it would have been impossible to complete Giran's trial.

It was ti for Allen's plan to enter its final step, so his mind kicked into high gear, but Lupto grinned.

'It seems we don't have to talk more. Lord Ela himself will grant you an answer.'

The Grimoire appeared in front of Allen.

"Huh? Oh!"

The Grimoire's first page began to glow.

(It's been a while since I got a letter like this. Let's see...)

"Could I read it here?"

'Go ahead.'

Receiving permission from Lupto, Allen opened the letter while Cecile and Sophie gathered behind him to read too.

Dear Allen:

Thank you for your continued hard work.

I've been inford about the current situation through Lupto.

While ideally I'd like to allow you to act independently, there were so points I could not overlook here, so I had to send out the First Angel Lupto as my representative.

I apologize for any unpleasantness that might have arisen from that.

Moving on, as you have rightfully pointed out, I've verified that you've provided a large contribution to the divine realm to clear up so stagnation.

Considering what you've done for us, and your pure drive to overco trials, I've made a decision.

I've taken notice of Raciel's prayers for the Mythical Bird Ram, so I'll consider opening a spot amongst the Gods.

I'll inform the Beast God Garm once there's progress with that.

There was no need to inform you of this, but considering your involvent, as well as the Beast God Giran's trial, I decided it was best to let you know as well.

I realize this might be troubleso, but please let the Beast God Giran know of this as well.

I'll be looking forward to you and your party's further efforts.

From the God of Creation Ela and all the Divine Realm Staff.

It was a letter from the God of Creation Ela, like many he had received in the past.

(Alright! I've completed the trial, I wonder what the reward will be, ehehehh.)

The letter contained just what Allen had been wanting, so he celebrated in his mind.

Now the conditions to complete the trial had been t, making Allen's head fill with the reward Giran had promised.

'Allen, would you mind letting see the letter as well?'

"Go ahead."

Allen showed the page with the letter to Lupto.

'We'll have to respect Lord Ela's decision then.'

"My apologies for making you co all this way."

Even if they were kindred spirits, they continued regarding each other with formality.

Allen nodded many tis, then flipped to another page in the Grimoire.

(The letter isn't everything that happened.)

'Oh, so you've been making so progress with the Generation Skill too?'

"Yes, thanks to my friends' help and all the Spirit Stones I gathered. Thank you for always creating Skills for , rus also seed happy about it."

(I'll thank her while I'm at it.)

Seeing how much stronger rus had beco made Allen want to thank her.

'...Keep striving to get stronger. Rember you don't have a lot of ti left.'

Even though Allen ntioned rus, Lupto's face remained unchanged.

She actually stared at Allen with more severity than when they talked earlier.

"...I swear to do that."

Allen was not sure where the conversation was going, but for now he agreed.

'Lady Lupto, what is happening now~?'

The Archangel Ranran had been unable to keep up with the conversation.

'The God of Creation Ela will take matters in his own hand. You can rest easy about the God of Wind Ninlil.'

'Ohh! I knew I could count on the God of Creation Ela~'

The Archangel began to hop around and dance happily.

Then Lupto moved a distance away from Allen and knelt in front of the king of Raciel.

'Bird King Oolon, we appreciate your daily prayers. We'll take our leave now, but try to keep praying to Ra from now on.'

"Y-yes! The entire country will keep praying."

The king replied while bowing so much his beak sunk into the carpet.

'We'll take our leave now then.'

Lupto grabbed the dancing Archangel by the neck and began flying to the ceiling.

The 4 angels were enveloped in light and then vanished.

"Sohow it worked out after all."

Sophie sounded relieved.

The king also finally stood up again and walked towards Allen.

"Is that true? It worked out?"

The king and pri minister could not see the Grimoire, so they were out of the loop.

Since the angels had left, the queen and princess also ran back to the king's side.

Everyone turned to look at Allen then, as he had caused the entire situation.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It seems the God of Creation Ela has gained appreciation for the prayers of birdn for the Mythical Bird Ra, and they have borne fruit."

(The ends always justify the ans, even if they include so deception after all.)

"O-ohh!! I see, I see. Good job, Allen."

"So the magic devices installed in the capital can remain, but I doubt we'll be allowed to install the rest of them…"

(I didn't budget for that, and I didn't want to end up having to scrap a bunch of devices anyway.)

Allen was always careful with his budget.

"O-of course! We can't forget how much we owe the God of Wind after all!"

As Allen pulled back from his first offer, the pri minister quickly agreed with him.

The pri minister also understood that installing all those magic devices would incite the wrath of the Gods.

The king also agreed with the pri minister.

Cecile then stood up from kneeling and took a deep breath.

"Ugh, that was way too close for comfort! Do you get it now?!!"

"Yeah, I know. The quest is basically complete now so we should go to receive our reward from Giran!"

"No way…you really don't get it."

Cecile was completely baffled, but Allen paid no attention to her.

＊＊＊

The banquet was over and the next day ca.

Allen's group was standing in front of a gate.

In Raciel, the sun would set early and rise late, but there was plenty of sunlight already.

"She didn't even co out to get breakfast…"

"I guess Rosalina hasn't changed at all. Cecile, Sophie, drag her out."

Everyone was in front of the room of the one person who had not co out of her room yet.

Cecile and Sophie went in, and soon after so sort of fight broke out.

"Hey, stop that! I'm not good on the mornings!!"

"Hey, what is more important, your bangs or the world?"

"My bangs!!"

(I guess she didn't co out because she couldn't get her bangs right today.)

Rosalina's spirit would not lose against Cecile's.

Once they got her out, they all left quickly since the quest had been completed.

They arrived at the small hill with the stone platform with a radius of around 500 ters on top. Near one of the 1 ter tall bumps were Shea and Giran.

"We're finally here. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

They had just finished their morning training, and they were taking a break now.

Giran called that place his Sanctuary, and Shea had been living there for nearly a month now.

(Nice, she ward up already then.)

"I wouldn't really say that, but since you're back, does that an…"

"Yeah, we're done. We're here to report back to Lord Giran."

Allen was sure that the letter he received from Ela yesterday proved he had completed Giran's 2nd trial, and approached Giran who was standing in the center of the Sanctuary.

'...'

Giran silently watched Allen's face.

While he remained silent, Allen's group reported what they had accomplished.
