Chapter 313: It’s been a while!

“Hm? What’s this?”

When I teleported to Evil God’s Shrine, something sparked and crackled against my body.

It wasn’t painful or anything of the sort.

This must be… that sensation.

It’s like dipping in carbonated water.

The sparks dissipated after five seconds.

“...What was that?”

Too bad. It felt a bit nice.

“W-Who are you!?”

“Eh — Ah!!”

I saw Evil God when I turned to the source of the voice.

His appearance hasn’t changed since the last time I saw him a long time ago. He is sitting in his chair.

Evil God’s eyes widened in shock, as he gazed at me.

He had a complacent smirk plastered on his face back when he forced me to transmigrate, and I couldn’t help but be a bit irked when I recalled that.

But, today’s Evil God —

Yeah, he had quite the nice expression on his face today.

He was truly dumbfounded by the sudden visit, and I could keenly feel how we intruded this place.

“It’s been a while!”

I decided beforehand that this is going to be the first thing I’ll say when I meet the Evil God.

“A while?... It’s been a while, huh? I don’t know any bastards like you!”

Ehhh... Really?

Didn’t you kill me and transmigrate me to this world?

…Oh well, he is a deity-sama, after all.

There’s no way he would remember a single puny human unless he took interest in that person.

“W-Who the heck are you?! And why the heck can you stay calm after getting cursed by me?!”

Hm? Curse?

What curse?

“Status Open.”

I checked my status just in case.

Status: Cursed (Static Status) [Fixed]

— Yup.

Nothing changed.

“I’ve been properly cursed, you know?”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

I don’t really get what’s going on, but…well, it’s fine.

At any rate, I already confirmed that nothing happened to me, so I called out to Tina and the others.

“Come, Tina, Sitri, Akari.”

I opened the teleportation portal, and the three came out.

“Sorry for the wait, everyone.”

“Halt-sama, you’re safe, and that’s all that matters.”

“As expected of you, Haru-Nii!”

“W-What, what the heck is going on!? Why can mere humans —”

‘Teleport to the Divine Realm’

Is what he probably wanted to say.

But once he saw the three women who emerged from the teleportation circle, he lost all words.

“Danna-sama. You arrived safely.”

“Yup. I came here first just in case there are traps, but there’s nothing of that sort in here.”

“S-Sitri? A-Aren’t you… the Demon King Sitri?”

The Evil God noticed Sitri.

“It’s been a while, Evil God-sama.”

Her words were polite, but she didn’t bow down to Evil God.

“W-Why are you, a demon king, with a human? N-No, wait, rather than that, where have you been all this time?!”

“Evil God-sama. I am no longer the Demon King.”

“...Huh?”

“As for your question regarding my whereabouts —”

Sitri suddenly clung to my arm.

“I became Halt-sama’s wife, and am now living in the Human Realm.”

“................Eh?”

After a long period of silence, Evil God finally managed to squeeze out his voice that was about to disappear.

Oh well, I get what he felt.

His ultimate, strongest soldier had become the wife of a human in a blink of an eye.

Alright, I guess it’s time for me to introduce myself now.

“It’s been a while, Evil God-sama. I’m Saijou Haruto.”

I introduced myself by my previous world’s name.

“Sai…Jou?”

Hmm, still no clue?

So he probably transmigrated me without knowing my name.

Then, how about this.

“I’m the person you casted the [Static Status] curse on, and the one you transmigrated into this world!”

“Static…Status…..Ha!! N-No way!?”

Oh!

Did you finally get it!?

“Yes, it’s me! I’ve become powerful thanks to the frozen status curse that you casted on me. Moreover, because you transmigrated me into the household of a noble family, my life has been swimmingly fine!!”

“More powerful? And, a noble… you say?”

“Please see for yourself just how stronger I have become!!”

I transformed the mana that I had released beforehand into flames and formed it into a sphere.

“Fire Lance!”

“—!!!???”

A part of the shrine was obliterated by the ginormous fire lance made out of one million points of mana.

It’s not like I wanted to showcase my true powers.

I heard it from the shikigami, so I knew.

Evil God wanted to hinder Creator God-sama, so he forced me to transmigrate.

There was a period of time when I thought he granted me this frozen status curse as my cheat abiity. I was a bit grateful to him at that time.

I am also grateful that I met Tina once again.

But, I would never forgive him for killing me.

Dying was terrifying.

Moreover, he didn’t even remember the name of the person he killed.

That’s why I decided to destroy part of his shrine under the pretext of showcasing my power.

It’s one of my ways of harassing him.

His shikigami received power from Evil God to repair the shrine, but she was currently staying inside my mansion.

Thus, he didn’t have a choice but to mend his own shrine that had been destroyed like this.

The image of him repairing his shrine on his own lifted my mood for a bit.

But, this was just payment for not remembering my name.

Alright. From now on, I’m going to make him pay for killing me.

I moved out of the teleportation circle.

“I was killed by you.”

When I took a few steps, I felt the crackling sensation once again.

There’s no problem, of course.

“Your retribution —”

I had a gut feeling that I shouldn’t take a step further.

But, I still continued walking towards Evil God.

That’s because he was right there, his face stiff with fright.

Just one step more, and I could finally reach him.

I could finally accomplish my end goal in this world!!

Did I let down my guard because of Evil God’s horrified appearance?

I thought I already won.

— This wasn’t good.

Ugh… What a blunder.

The crackling sensation I felt earlier was no other than the curses casted by Evil God breaking upon contact with my Static Status Curse.

My status was [Fixed], so almost all of the curses casted by the Evil God didn’t work.

Magical attacks didn’t work on me.

That’s because my status was [Fixed].

Physical attacks didn’t work on me.

That’s because my status was [Fixed].

Poison and paralysis didn’t work on me.

That’s because my status was [Fixed].

But, I did have a weakness.

Just like when Soryuu teleported me, I could be teleported elsewhere along with the space surrounding me.

There happened to be one such curse among Evil God’s curses I had undergone.

And so, I was teleported somewhere else, leaving Tina and the others inside the Evil God’s shrine.
