The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 5

 

What is Another World Summon by Evil God-san

The world of Evil God-san apparently summons people from the world I was in and from other worlds.

"In my opinion, isn't there a lot of problems with summoning people from other worlds?"

Evil God-san let out a big sigh and nodded.

"There are a lot of problems....... It was originally prohibited for people to cross over to other worlds. If you need to cross over to another world, you need to discuss it with the god who is in charge of the world and follow the proper procedures and formalities."

Come to think of it, Evil God-san was trying to summon me.

At that time, he told me that he asked the god of my world...

"Evil God-san was trying to summon me though...?"

"Ah! In your case, it's fine. I consulted with the god of your world and got its approval, and I also went through the procedures properly. The only problem is that I made a mistake in the summoning procedure and killed you......"

Evil God-san seemed a little apologetic again, his words trailing at the end.

"It's fine. I've decided to reincarnate. Please don't worry about it so much."

I encouraged him by saying so.

"Rather than that, there's a problem with summoning people to Evil God-san's world, right? That's what I'm curious about!"

With these words, Evil God-san began to continue his story.

"Yes, that's right. It is against the law for a person who is not a god to perform a summon, even though the summon is normally a god-to-god exchange. Simply put, it is no different than kidnapping or theft."

"Then why don’t you do some kind of divine punishment?"

Evil God-san thought a little again before speaking.

"Hmm... The same can be said for the gods of other worlds, but there is a rule that basically says that you cannot interfere in the world you manage. So divine punishment cannot occur. But of course, there are exceptions. For example, when I summon you."

My summoning is an exception?

"In this case, it is because there was a distortion of the world's [reason] due to a lack of [Demon King Vessels] in my world. This simply means that a machine went wrong, and I was given a part called you to fix it."

"Then, what do you think the people of Evil God-san’s world are doing?"

"It's hard to give an analogy, but it can be taken that the machine is going out of control on its own. From the point of view of other gods, it is a nuisance. If you do a bad job, they will say, [Destroy that machine!]"

"But why can't the owner of the machine, Evil God-san, do anything about it?"

Here, Evil God-san is thinking again.

Is he thinking of a way to express himself well?

"I'm not the owner. It's the same with the gods of other worlds... but the world isn't the property of the gods. We manage it, though. The real owners are the people who live in that world."

Evil God-san still seems to hate to give a coherent answer.

"It is God's duty to manage the world so that it does not fall apart. However, the people who live in the world, who are the owners, believe that the world is theirs and that they themselves will improve the world. Therefore, God's intervention is hated. Hmmm... you can't do whatever you want just because it's managed without the owner's permission...? Something like that."

Evil God-san seems to have finally come up with an idea, but he still doesn't seem to be satisfied with his own expression.

Hmm... that's difficult...

"Um...? Do people from Evil God-san's world get summoned quite often?"

"I don't think it happens often... It's a pretty difficult technique for humans to use... Maybe 3 times as far as I know...?"

"Why are you so skeptical about that...?"

Then, Evil God-san began to worry again.

Or is he trying to remember...

"The first time, I believe, was when the [Heroes] and the [Demon King] began to fight, and when the human race was outnumbered, the [Saint] prayed and summoned one.

The second time, as I recall... the church members performed a ritual to summon one, but I didn't understand why. The same goes for the third time."

"Church rituals...? What does the church worship? I don't think it's an Evil God, though?"

It would be strange if Evil God-san, the creator god, is not worshipped, and the church is fighting with the [Demon King] created by Evil God-san, or summoning people against Evil God-san's will......

They are definitely worshiping something else.

"The church worships the [Saint] who summoned the [Hero] the first time as a goddess. It is through the faith of that goddess that I was made an Evil God."

So here's why Evil God-san became an Evil God......
