Volume 1, Extra: How the girl was brought here.
Now in terms of Risa, who was adopted by the Claudes, you may wonder why she came to another world in the first place.
There is a reason that must not be known.
This is the story of the gods of certain worlds.
The chief god ordered the gods to create worlds. Those gods followed their orders.
Among the gods, one god created humans but gave them nothing. On the other hand, one goddess blessed the humans with the power of magic. She then blessed a small group of those humans with the grace of the spirits, never noticing the harm that would bring…
---------------------------------------------------------------
“You know, the humans in my world are evolving all on their own. They’re making a bunch of tools and inventing a lot of new foods by modifying them. When I disguised myself and went in the other day, they…”
I am the Goddess, the creator of a certain world. I blessed humans with magic and gave birth to spirits.
The god next to me was my colleague, Aegis. Right now there was a small trend among the gods to disguise yourself and go to the worlds you created to play. Aegis went to his world and was talking about his visit to me…
“So next time, I’m thinking about doing an eating tour. Man, I won’t be able to eat all of it in one go so I guess I’ll start from the east side.”
It appears the food his humans made were fitting to his tastes, as he came back to brag to me about it every time. I wouldn’t blame him, as it sounded delicious just from his descriptions. He also said that each country had different types of food with different characteristics.
“What about your place?”
“The humans in my world…”
Their magic developed by the day. However, their food culture was nothing compared to the culture in Aegis’s world. His world also had science on par with the magic here on top of the fantastic food.
The other day, I actually went to the world I created. Nature flourished and the people were living bright and wonderful lives. Their food, however, was very unfortunate. It only got worse the more I heard of the food in Aegis’s world.
“…have quite a unique taste.”
“Hah! You mean it was bad, right? Man, it’s all because you gave them such a convenient thing as magic.”
Aegis smirked.
Was it my fault? Aegis didn’t give them anything simply because it was too troublesome! Even so, it was frustrating that he was making a fool out of my humans and I!
“…I hate you, Aegis!”
Even I…even I want to eat good food!
I held back the tears threatening to spill from my eyes and kicked Aegis out of my halls.
After that, I tried many things. I took some of the tools from Aegis’s world and dropped them into mine as magic tools. I planted all the ingredients for good food. I tried this, I tried that, I tried everything I could.
Still, there were no results. The humans of my world were passionate towards magic research, but they did not care for food. There were a few humans that were mildly interested, so if only they had a small push…
Around that time, Aegis came to my halls again. We did not part on good terms, so the air was quite tense.
“…I’m sorry for saying such harsh words before.”
“No, I said things I didn’t mean, too…”
It was hard to face Aegis, so I lowered my head. What should we talk about…
“…Hey, uh, you want to teach your humans to cook good food, right?”
“Huh?”
Why did Aegis know about that? While it was true that I had done a lot of things to urge them on, I never said a word to Aegis. Besides, we had never met since I kicked him out of my halls.
“If it’s just a little push on their backs, it’s nothing that I can’t help with.”
At the end of my wits, I looked up at Aegis in surprise. He quickly turned his face elsewhere and wouldn’t look at me. His ears seemed a tint redder than normal, but perhaps it was just me.
Anyway, he gave me a proposal.
I would bring one human from his world to mine, with the condition that all the children of one couple in my world would be turned into spirits. One of those children must be the most talented person in that world.
I thought about it. Even if this was so that the food culture of my world would develop, I would be changing the fate of at least four humans.
In the end, I accepted his proposal.
However, I also added my own conditions. Aegis would pick them, but the couple and the human who would come to my world would all be kind at heart and able to treat each other with affection. The human from his world would know how to make food, and they would love eating food as well.
Then, I changed all the children of the couple into spirits and allowed them to live freely in my world. In order to break the rules of world making like this, I would probably need to pay the equal price. However, since the children would live on in my world as spirits, I felt it would be all right.
A little while after we agreed on Aegis’s proposal, equivalent to a few years in my world. The chosen human came to my world.
Please live healthily and happily. And please, make some good food that I can try.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This was how the girl Risa was brought into another world, to the Claudes.
All was for the sake of the Goddess’s selfish wish to eat good food. There was no way for Risa and the Claudes to know that.
In addition, there was no guarantee that the god who secretly held feelings for the goddess would be rewarded.
Meanwhile, the spirits all knew of the reason why Risa came to this world.
However, the attempt that began with the god bragging to get the goddess’s attention ended up dragging unrelated humans into an exchange between worlds. The spirits could not lie, and they discussed amongst themselves. In the end, they decided to never speak of the event.
If they were asked about it, they would all answer that it was the “will of the Goddess,” a phrase full of exasperation, pity, and hope.
