Chapter 55 (1/2): Understanding Secrets of the Game

The car quickly starts.

Its been moving smoothly but its uncomfortable being quite. The sound of the engine is slow and the comfort wasnt bad. I could understand a little that why my father wanted a car. I coudnt care about that now.

“Should we also introduce ourselves?”

The woman is humming with humor at the driver’s seat: Seri Shinsei or just Seri.

“It’s okay. Yoshio Suenaga, Carol and Lizard … what’s your name?”

She knows our name?

She seems to be an ally but according to the story my information was only transmitted to the Evil God side.

I checked on the bulletin board, [Exchange Square] that is used by the players but it was missing from the Main God side.

“It’s Destiny”

“Hmmmmm. I would call you Dee-chan because it’s too long”

Dont say things like my sister. I dont want you to call it just because it short but because you like it.

I was worried about Carol but when I glanced next to me. She seemed crazy about the white scenery outside while being stuck to the window

“So it would helpful if you could tell me why you came here and helped me.”

“You are impatient. There is a long way to go for our destination so lets take a leisure drive. It seems that people from the interior dont come here. Hokkaido is vast if you see from one end to another. Its about same distance as between Osaka and Tokyo”

I thought it would be as large as Shikoku but was there such a distance?

To be honest, I didnt think that it was this far.

However, even though Its my first time meeting this person … I feel relieved for some reason. Despite the face that the situation was too opportunistic to appear and help me in pinch but still I could not feel distrust towards this person.

Its strange. I should have been skeptical because I have encountered many events which would make people fearful.

“But it’s natural to be interested. Well, I’ll explain.”

The silly tone from before suddenly changed.

She seems to be going to talk seriously. I stretch my back and concentrate so that I dont miss anything.

“First of all, I play the same game of “Village of Fate “as Yoshio-san, but have you ever wondered about it?”

You suddenly come up with a question? Whats the question?

“I’m not sure what you are referring to because I’m full of doubts.”

“Oh, that’s right. What I want to say is about the title because you didn’t think that it was destined for multiple Gods?”

“I thought it was such a game because I thought I was playing it, but … it’s strange.”

I thought it was called Village of Fate because I was playing as God of Fate. However, the players controlling the other gods were also familiar with the Village of Fate.

“That’s right. It’s possible that the title is Fate, but it actually makes sense. The god of fate ranks higher in the gods.”

“… I’m sorry but I dont understand.”

“Well, there is a class to the gods as well. It’s like the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth gods, each of which follows a higher-ranking god. It is easier to understand as if the main deity is the chairman and the first deity is the President, Department manager, Section Manager, District Manager, and Flat Employee. “

“Well, somehow”

I was thinking that the servants ranked side by side but there existed such a class?

In other words, the God of Fate is second only to the Chairman…

“Well, since we have talked so fat. You will understand. The God of Fate is the First Servant. My God of Luck is the Second Servant, one below the God of Fate.”

“Since there are seven Main Gods. Who is the Main God for God of Destiny?”

Certainly the Main Deities are Light, Moon, Fire, Water, Plants, Thunder and Soil. One of them is the chairman…no, the who reports directly…..to a higher God?

“Well, God of the Moon. The Moon seems to be related tot he Fate and Life. Its connected with it.”

It seems that I have heard that the moon is important for fortune-telling. My sister must be familiar with this.

“I see. But why are you so familiar with this?”

“I hate you being impatient. You should listen to the girl’s story till the end.”

My sister once told me something similar. …… I will ask later.

“The Players of this game get various benefits as the Level increases. There are more kinds of miracles that can be activated in the real world, the activation rules are relaxed. And when one reaches the Level 5, the God with which the player plays can be directly talked to.”

So thats why she cut of my words.

Her line of sight is entangled with mine through the rear-view mirror.

“Well, you can’t write on the bulletin board at Level 5 so thats why others cant see it.”

I heard the story and understood the point.

It isnt as if there is no Level 5 players exist on the bulletin board but instead it is because it is protected.

“And, at level 2, only the Bulletin boards dedicated to the Moon God can be seen. So the highest ranking God is the title for the game. Its such a hot title.”

“So, on that bulletin board, you get to know about “Village of Fortune”? But what if a player from Water God side wrote……..”

“When one reaches Level, he can use the bulletin board of other God players. Its secret for Level so if you write about it, it wont be displayed because of the prohibition.”

It seems such information threads are not accessible under Level 3.

“By the way it’s a special case for players to interact with each other. Well it seems that Evil Gods dont follow those rules.”

I know because I just experienced it.

So after all is that a violation of the rules of the Gods? There on only the Evil God so it seems that the specifications are loosely regulated compared to the Main God.

“I’ve been wondering since a long time but what is your Level Seri-san?”

Guessing from the conversation so far, I asked to the question to clarify it.

The eyes reflected in the rear view mirror happily loose.

“Thank you very much for asking! Level 5”
