In a Different World with a Smartphone

Chapter 451 Travel preparation, and Becoming a Boy.

Chapter 451 Travel preparation, and Becoming a Boy.

"Now, in both name and reality, you are finally married.”

"Well, it seems that Su and you only slept together. She isn’t old enough yet. I guess you don’t need to rush it because you will be together forever.”

"Oh? Are you taking your wives to your original world for your honeymoon? Are you ready?"

"Touya-oniisan! Alcohol! I’d like alcohol as a souvenir! I mean, I reject anything other than alcohol!"

Karen-onee, Moroha-nee, Katrina-nee, and in addition, Suika-san… I really admire her ability to be selfish even at this time. Can someone tell me about when she wasn't selfish?

I think it's a bad taste for my family to make fun of the newlyweds … Karen-nee and Moroha-nee are sister-in-laws for everyone, and everyone hates me when I say that. I don't feel like I'm liked. The girls are becoming members of my older sisters sides …

"As expected, I can't take everyone to Earth at once with [Dimension Transfer]. The World God will help me."

At the table in the garden where we had held the wedding ceremony the other day, I bluntly answered the goddesses who were having a tea party…

I should be dead on Earth. Those who die there usually do not come back to life. Such an existence that deviates from the theory of the world (on Earth), is kicked out of that world.

Therefore, I will visit Earth not as the human "Mochizuki Touya" but as the god "Mochizuki Touya" who is still learning about being a god. I will also be the dependent of the World God.

However, I am worried that the mana in the air which is the source of magical power will be extremely thin over there. In other words, you can't use magic freely like this over on Earth.

I think I can do something because I can use Divinity, but not everyone else can use it. If it's a [God’s Love characteristic] like Yumina's [Foresight] that doesn't use magical power, it can be used.

However, her Mystic Eyes of Intuition will be useless, since they use Null magic to work.

"I don't think you need to worry too much. Touya-kun’s smartphone is a Sacred Treasure which will still work after going to your world. You will be able to activate magic to some extent if you use divinity with it. Oh, but make sure you don’t use it too much, alright? It's a power that is almost nonexistent over there. If you are found suspicious from the rest of the society, it's no longer considered a honeymoon."

I can’t be suspicious. However, can I use some magic if I pass it through my smartphone? It's helpful to be able to use [Search] when someone gets lost. Is it possible to buy souvenirs to take back here and store them using [Storage]?

"The World God is late. I asked him to come around noon while on the phone."

"It can't be helped. The World God is probably up in the Divine Realm, deciding who comes down after these other gods that came to your wedding. I'm sure he’s busy dealing with that. "

There were ten gods who have humanized and came to the mortal realm under the name of "going to the wedding” when it was time for my wedding…

The gods that came down were the Dance God, Strength God, Craft God, Glasses God, Theater God, Mermaid God, Wandering God, Flower God, Jewel God, and the Space-time God, A.K.A, Grandma Tokie.

Ten days have passed since then, and those humanized gods have had many different experiences. They have also told others of their experiences. In response to that, a lot of gods are curious, and it seems that the number of gods who want to come here as a vacation as a vacation destination as soon as possible, is increasing.

"Now that I think of it, isn’t it unfair that I am here at my own will? Well, I don't think so because I can go down to the ground and live as I like."

"I don't really understand how “interesting” it is to live as a human being …"

"Nyaha. What we’re doing is kind of like the thing called “Roll Prey" from where Touya came. Isn't it fun to do “Roll Prey"?"

Roll Prey? Are you talking about role-playing games and such? Sure, it might be fun to forget about yourself and play a different role in life… I guess gods also get tired of doing the same things.

"It's said that the Craft God and Mermaid God have already begun to make their own works, and it seems that the Theater God and Dance God have joined some theater company. I think their names will be heard in this country soon. Hahahahah."

Katrina-nee says such a thing while laughing, but even though they may be humanized, a god is a god. It would be strange if their careers were not famous. They will definitely become global sensations.

"What I don't know is what the God of Glasses is doing.”

"I think he’s doing some activity that doesn’t really stand out much. The need for eyeglasses is still low in this world. And, there is nothing like “You will look cool if you wear this type of glasses” or so, right? "

Yup. The God of Glasses is a strange guy, by my understanding of him. Please do not cause any problems. I'd like you to be quiet and open an optician's shop and work hard in your business. I hope you do that.

"I don't really want there to be any problems when I'm away …"

Hmm? This feeling is …

"It's okay. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them while you're traveling."

When I turned my eyes to the person who felt the sign, the World God had suddenly appeared. Perhaps because I am one of his dependents, I can detect the World God’s appearance.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I just had to sort out some problems in the plan for letting gods come where for vacation.”

"It was that, after all?"

I won’t ask him what the problems were… My head will hurt if I do…

"Well, Touya-kun, would you listen to me for a little bit? I'd like to talk about some points to note when traveling to another world."

"Oh, yes."

Important points? Is it dangerous travelling to another world? It seems that Ende and the others have crossed through various worlds, but it's like going to a different planet … because the destination is Earth, isn't it?

I took my smartphone out of my pocket and started writing emails to call everyone here.

"Now, starting tomorrow, you will be going to the world in which Touya-kun came from."

The World God overlooked everyone who gathered around and started talking. We take out a big blanket in the garden and sit there, listening to the words of the World God.

Besides us, my “sisters” from the Divine Realm are quietly sitting there as he explains.

"First of all, using your rings, you can communicate with others. You can understand and speak the language of every country from Earth. I will prepare the money for you, so don't worry."

Oh. Does that mean we can talk to foreigners? That's convenient. As expected of a Sacred Treasure. I looked at the wedding ring shining on my left ring finger. As long as we are in Japan, it doesn't really matter to me.

And thank you for having prepared money. At worst, I was thinking about bringing in gold or silver and cashing it in at a bank.

"The next thing I’m going to be talking about is the ladies’ ‘smartphones’. I'll make them available there too. If they’re left like this, making calls would be hard to do since there is so few mana in the air."

The Professor’s special mass-produced smartphones make calls using the mana particles in the air, not radio waves. I'm not sure, but if the air is "connected" to the other person, it seems that you can have a conversation.

Even if it's indoors, the air should be connected from somewhere. Does that mean that it wouldn't be possible to connect to a completely enclosed space that does not allow air to enter? It is said that water also has mana, so can the smartphones be connected even in the sea? Well I do not know.

However, if they can be used over there, wouldn’t it become an ordinary smartphone?

"Thin magic means that you can hardly use magic. Be careful. You may be able to use small spells such as ones that make ice magic or fire magic, but they won’t last long."

If the atmosphere does not contain mana, magic will not be activated. Is it like trying to light a fire in the absence of oxygen? Hmmm? But …

"Even if there are no magic elements in the atmosphere, can you use the magic power in your body to apply magic to yourself, like my Nee-san’s [Boost]?

Linze asked the World God exactly what I wanted to ask. Elze also seems to be a little interested, since her name came up in the question.

"You can do that, but you shouldn't do it too much. Won’t you soon run out of magic and fall down? You don't want to spend your honeymoon bedridden, right?"

"I see … Because there are so few magical elements that can be converted into magical power, the lost magical power cannot be replenished so easily."

Leen nodded a little as if she was convinced. If you run out of magic, your consciousness will become cloudy and you may lose your consciousness …

There is a magic called [Transfer] that transfers magical power, but is it dangerous to do that because the magical power does not recover quickly over there?

"Then, isn't it possible to store magical power here and bring it with us? Like the magical power tank in the Babylon Structures."

"It's impossible. As soon as you arrive at the world over there, the magical power you've accumulated will disappear. That creature who’s moving with magical power … See, the bear there will soon stop moving when you go to that world."

Paula behind Leen begins to rattle. It's okay, because you're not alone since it means that even if the summoned beasts were to try to come with us, they couldn't keep their existences. My magical power would be exhausted. It would hardly recover.

We won’t even be able to use any magic artifacts. Aren’t even the Frame Gears just statues that don't move over on Earth?

"Well, then how will we charge our smartphones that are regularly charged with magical power?"

"… You can charge them with electricity normally."

"… That’s reasonable."

Yes, there is normal electricity on Earth. What am I asking such a simple question? I am ashamed.

"Those facts about magic have nothing to do with me."

"Yeah."

"That's right."

A group that cannot use the magic of Yae, Hilda, and Lu answers verbally. I laughed a little because it looked like they were a little lonely.

"It's natural that one can't use magic over there, so you don't have to worry so much."

"But if something dangerous happens, will you have a problem if you can't use magic?"

"We’re not going to a conflict zone, so it's not that dangerous. The country we will go to is relatively peaceful."

In Japan, I don't think it's a problem if you can't use magic. Or rather, that's normal. On the contrary, it is more dangerous to use magic.

"And this is the biggest problem. It's about you, Touya-kun."

"About me?"

Suddenly the story is twisted and it ends up with Kyoton.

"As I said before, Touya-kun is supposed to be dead over there. So, if you go as you look right now, you can see that there are various problems, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

I would be surprised if a dead human was wandering around. But if I change my appearance with [Mirage], that's … oh.

"Maybe camouflage magic can't be used over there?"

"There's nothing you can't use. However, as I said earlier, you can't use magical power, so you would have to use divine power. I think it's quite a burden on your body to keep up your disguise using your Divinity. It seems likely that you may relax and return to your original appearance."

Umu, it certainly seems so … Unlike magical power, Divinity is difficult to control. It's hard to adjust the output. Therefore, if I fail, my hair will grow and I will unleash a tremendous amount of magic. If I had control over my power in the first place, I could fix the barriers of the world without relying on Grandma Tokie.

The constant activation of Divinity will be quite difficult. Even though I’ll be back home, I won’t be able to relax and won’t be able to afford to enjoy my travels with my wives…

"I have a solution, though. I'm thinking of changing your appearance while you are traveling. This will not put a burden on you, and you will not slip up. When you come back here, your appearance will be normal, once more. It may be a little inconvenient, but it will somehow be manageable. "

Oh, that would be appreciated. After all, it's tiring to always be careful.

"Mmm. If King-sama’s appearance has changed for the entire vacation, the fun of traveling together will be reduced. That’s a bit of a problem."

"Um. Just like what Sakura-san said. It would make us feel as if we were traveling with another person that is not Touya-kun. Is there something you can do about that?"

Sakura and Su disagree with the World God. Well, it's true that we’re on our honeymoon, and I want to make it a memorable trip for everyone.

Besides, the main purpose, being inside of my parents’ dreams and reporting about the marriage, while having another person’s appearance … No, should I use my god powers to wear off the illusion so as to show my original appearance only at that part of the honeymoon? I'll only have to do that for a few minutes.

"It's okay. I’ve already been pondering over this. I'll make sure you can recognize Touya-kun as Touya-kun.”

As the World God claps his hands, smoke starts to drift around me.

"Puwa !? What is this !?"

I waved to get rid of the smoke. …… Wait? Something is wrong. Why are the sleeves of my coat dangling?

It seems that the voice I made earlier was also high-pitched. Isn't that strange? When the smoke cleared and I jumped into their sights, I saw everyone with a surprised expression as they opened their eyes. ………… What are you looking at?

"If he is in this form, you will feel like traveling with Touya-kun, right?”

Why did the World God laugh while saying that? That's strange. World God, were you so tall before?

I mean … everyone's height suddenly grew, huh … Well, no.

"Sto, [storage]!"

In a hurry, I open [Storage], and take out a mirror to see myself, and then lean against the shrubs in the courtyard. What was reflected there was me, who looked to be in the first grade of elementary school, much smaller than Su. Eh!?? Is this what the World God meant when he talked about changing my appearance!?? Is it like a fountain of youth!?

"Who is this child! Is it really Touya-san!?"

"Fufuwa …! Mini Touya-san!"

"Well, he’s cute! He’s cute!"

"Yes! He became even more attractive when he got smaller!"

Elze and Linze shout in sync from the left and right, and Yumina and Lu run up towards me. The tension is high!

"Oh! I'm sure this is a vestige of my husband!"

Yae ran up towards me. I think my fate’s decided. But what are you saying?! This isn’t a vestige of me, it is the real me!

Yae grabbed my armpits and lifted me up lightly as if I was a kid. Wow! Wait a minute! My pants are slipping!

My body is smaller, but my clothes aren't. I tried to grab the pants that slipped down with my hands, but I couldn't because I was lifted eight other times.

A mischievous wind blows and my shirt flips over. ……Cold.

"And, Touya-sama. Do not be so depressed …"

"You don't know how it feels when your lower body is exposed in front of the masses …"

Lu’s comforting words don't reach me either. I want my original appearance back. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if my body was still in elementary school while on the honeymoon?

"No, I'm sorry … You look like the children in the castle …"

Yae loves children. I understand her feelings. But that’s it …

"Don't be afraid so much. It's not intentional, so laugh and forgive is. We are doing this because you are our husband."

Su stroked my head. This is the opposite of the usual, this … It makes me feel like I just did something bad and an elder is telling me it’s alright. This feels embarrassing, or something.

Katrina-nee and Suika-san, who were watching this display from the side, laughed.

"Hey, you shouldn’t care about being small. I don't think there’s anything to be shy about when they see you because they are all relatives."

"Nyahahaha. Touya-oniisan, you’re so small and tiny."

Don't call me small and tiny! Are you talking about me as a person??? Or is it something else!??

When I tried to retort to Suika, Sakura, who had gone to "Fashion King Zanac" in the castle town using [Teleport], came back.

"I bought some clothes for the time being."

Sakura puts paper bags on the table. You bought some … What is this amount!?

Various children's clothes popped out from a large number of paper bags. Wait a minute, why do you even buy a skirt!?? Girls’ clothes are also mixed into the pile!

"This outfit looks good on you!"

"This one is also cute, isn't it?"

"If I’d known this was the case, I would have prepared knight armor for children …"

Hilda murmured that sadly, unlike Lu and Yumina who happily picked up their favorite children's clothes. If Hilda had a child, the child would really be …

Or rather, this doesn't matter, so please just get this over with faster.

I settled down into the appearance of some trousers and a hoodie after being made into a dress-up doll by my wives. ……Well, will I look like a normal child over on Earth?

"… Does it look okay?"

"Oh, oh! I'm sorry!"

What, World God?

"If you look like that, you will still be easily recognized as Touya-kun than if you had a completely different form. People can link you with when you were younger.”

I don't think anyone thinks that "a dead person has just come back to life in the form of a child".

"Oh, I should have made you look old and middle-aged …"

“………… Isn't it easier for children to act together?”

I'm worried about being suspicious, but if I want to act with everyone, isn’t this the way to go? If I was walking with everyone in middle-aged form, I might get a few questions from a police officer.

I also came up with the idea that I should look older and look like an old man, but that would make everyone feel strange. The combination of one old man and nine girls is more noticeable than the combination of one little boy and nine girls. Besides, I don't want to see my old face so quickly.

"That figure isn't you having been rejuvenated, but it's more like a fixed figure. So to speak, it is basically 'transforming'. You can use it freely if you become a senior god. By the way, there are some other choices besides this transformation. Do you have any appearance you want to have? "

"Is that so? … Then why do you look like an old man?"

"Doesn’t that make me look more dignified?"

That was a very weird reason. I don't know how to respond.

"That's about it for the time being. I think it's better for the young ladies to change their clothes before the departure of tomorrow. You will be noticeable if you go there with the clothes you are wearing right now."

I guess we would stand out. They just need to wear a different outfit, and don’t need to change their appearances, though.

Yae is okay, because everyone else would think that she is a native because of her hair and eye color. The others just stand out. The hair of Sakura is also flashy.

Should we maybe buy wigs over there? There’s also the option of hair dyeing.

"For clothes, there were a lot of new works in “Fashion King Zanac". They’re based on the clothes from King-sama’s world, so it should be okay to wear on the honeymoon there."

"Then let's all go buy some clothes now. We'll have to have enough clothes to change clothes for a few days."

Leen rides on Sakura's proposal, and everyone else starts to nod in favor of it. No, I think we should buy the clothes on Earth. The World God has already prepared the money for us.

"Look, c’mon, Touya-san."

"Huh, me too !?"

Gui, Elze tugged my hand. To my surprise, the other hand was also pulled by the other eight.

"Because only my husband can use [Storage] in that world, we need to have you put all of our clothes in there. We also need to bring some of our luggage."

Do you have luggage? No, that's fine. Instead, stop treating me like a captured alien.

"See you tomorrow morning, but remember to come here again."

"Oh, yes! But please, do something!"

The World God is waving while laughing at us as he’s leaving. I plead for help while looking back on that figure.

There is this amount of turmoil even before the honeymoon. Is this honeymoon going to be okay …?
