Chapter 151 – Towards the Next Summoning Equipment (4)

After leaving the restaurant, we decided to rest for the day.

Money was given out to each person so that they could buy something they wanted to buy or have snacks and have fun.

A few people said they would go with me, but I said I would rest at the dorm.

“In that case, I will guard you by Jinu’s side in case anything happens.”

“I don’t think it’s necessary? Is there anything wrong with it?”

When I offered to rest at the hostel and Ellie raised her hand and declared that she would stay with me, I declined.

“You guys take a break and come back. I have something to think about too.”

I declined Ellie’s words and returned to my dorm.

I could walk around shopping with everyone, but I wanted to ask now if possible.

When I arrived at the room I was staying in, I changed into light clothes, lay down on the bed, and closed my eyes.

And I thought to myself:

‘Gaia. I’ll get a good night’s sleep from now on, so I’ll see you again after a long time. Please summon me in your dream like last time.’

If it were a being called God, it would be nice if it could talk in its head without having to sleep, but Gaia, this damn god, has no intention of doing that at all.

It would be nice to see some changes if I regained some strength.

I lay quietly with my eyes closed.

【Jinuni, can you hear me?】

Suddenly, a woman’s voice was heard from a place where no one was around.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a completely different scene from the room I was lying in.

Although it is said to be a different scenery, it is a scenery I have seen many times now.

A huge chained door came into view on a barren land without a single blade of grass.

I turned my head toward the sound and said hello.

“It’s been a while, Gaia.”

【Yes, it’s been a really long time.】

There stood a brightly shining person.

He really is a shining person, to say the least.

It has the shape of a woman with her blonde hair wavy that reaches to her bottom and her face is still illuminated by a bright light so that her features are not visible.

In short, her face looks like a glowing egg ghost.

【I heard a voice calling me, so I summoned you here. Is that right?】

“Yes, fortunately you heard me well.”

I got up from where I was sitting.

“There’s a lot to talk about. First of all, what happened to the compass? I’m not looking for equipment that can be used for summoning, but I think I was able to find equipment in this world.”

【Well… I didn’t know that even the equipment used by Void would be detected. I think this happened because there was so little information about the existence of voids.】

Huh… So it’s ultimately because of Boyd?

This damn void is an annoying entity that always blocks my path.

“Then, have you found out anything else about Void?”

Gaia heard me and shook her head left and right in small movements.

【Unfortunately, I couldn’t find out much. This is my first time doing something like this. I was surprised that there was a being in this world who could completely hide his existence from me.】

“Hide your presence? What do you mean?”

Gaia listened to me and sighed, then continued.

【This world was created with my power. Therefore, each of my creations can be seen as containing my power, either directly or indirectly. That’s why you can really feel how the world is going.】

When I heard that, I thought that if that was true, God must be God.

【But I couldn’t feel the existence of an organization called Void at all. In fact, I didn’t even know it existed until Jinunim told me. After Jinu spoke, I tried hard to find out the identity of the dimensional gate Numeron by blocking it, but I still don’t even know who created it.】

“That’s an interesting fact. Gaia, the creator god here, is a being that cannot be felt…”

Does that mean you can hide your existence that much?

He has a power that even the god who created his world cannot possess.

It becomes increasingly unclear about Arceus, who can be said to be the head of Void.

“Gaia, then is it possible to do it in reverse?”

【Conversely?】

Gaia tilted her head and asked back at my words.

I can’t see his facial expression at all in the light right now, but he must have thought what this guy was talking about.

“As you just said, you said you couldn’t feel the Void at all, but Gaia-sama can feel all beings in this world? She’s the only one who can’t feel the Void.”

【Yes, that’s right.】

Gaia nodded and said to me.

“Hmm… Then conversely, wouldn’t it be possible to check the entire world here and find a place that feels out of place? You said you couldn’t feel the Void, but if you look at the Void, the basic base is humans, so you will come into contact with the people of this world at least indirectly. Then, I think there must be something else that feels out of place. Can you look for it?”

【Ah… I didn’t think of that idea. I’ll give it a try.】

Gaia heard me, folded her hands in front of her chest, bowed her head, and became quiet for a moment.

As I said, she was probably feeling the entire world, so I watched Gaia quietly so as not to disturb her.

By the way, I haven’t thought about it the other way around, so should I just see this god as secretly… Or just incompetent?

I don’t think he has any power as a god.

Feeling the entire world in what you are doing now would be an area that is impossible with the common sense of an ordinary person.

After waiting for a moment, Gaia raised her head and looked at me.

【Hmm… I’m not sure, but I think I found it.】

“Oh! That’s good news. Where is it?”

Should I have asked this a long time ago?

I feel a bit regretful, but I feel like I couldn’t have helped it even if I had asked.

Anyway, even if we found the base by asking before, if an enemy appears that has fused with a level 100 raid monster called Baccarat like yesterday, we have no choice but to retreat.

Thanks to Freya’s presence, I no longer feel anxious about Void.

【As Jin-nim said, there are two places in this world where a sense of discomfort comes from. One is felt in places located in the south and the other is felt in places located in the west.】

“South and west? I think the south is probably us.”

Gaia said that she can feel the beings she created, so to put it another way, she cannot properly feel beings from other worlds.

In that case, the thing in the south must have felt the movement of me or my characters.

【Jinuni is right. The warriors will definitely be right. In that case, it seems like what’s left is the entity located to the west. I have a strange feeling that it seems like it exists, but I can’t sense its existence.】

“Then the Void is likely to be to the west. That alone is helpful enough. When I wake up, I will explain to everyone and then head to the west next.”

Has the opportunity to eliminate Void finally arrived?

I say goodbye to the people who bother me and get in my way.

【Not sure. I feel like it might be around that time.】

“That alone is enough. Without it, we would have had to travel all over the continent to find Void.”

Such troublesome things are out of the question.

I think I had my first constructive conversation since meeting Gaia.

“By the way, is Numeron, the gate in that dimension, okay?”

I said, pointing to the huge door behind me.

When I took a quick look at it earlier, it felt like the truth and lock were even more damaged than last time.

【Thanks to the last dimensional gap that reduced the number of demons, things have improved a lot. There will probably be enough time for Jinunim to move west and defeat Void.】

“That’s good news. I’ll spend the rest of the day in Libreville and then head west immediately to look for Void.”

Are we going west next?

I never thought I would travel all over the continent.

【Please, Jinu. I truly believe that thanks to Jinu and the warriors, peace can come to this world.】

If this is the case, there won’t be any embarrassing developments later after everything has been resolved, right?

Although I wonder if such a seemingly incompetent god would be able to do that.

And I opened my eyes again.

When I looked around, I saw myself lying on the bed.

Did you wake up after meeting Gaia?

When I went to the window and looked outside, the evening sun was slowly setting.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room except me, it seemed like everyone had not returned yet.

I think it would be okay to say that when we return, our next destination is west.

So, if we were to decide on our plan, it would be to go west and destroy the Void, then go north and destroy Numeron, the dimensional gate, and return home to the Kingdom of Brittinya.

Also, wherever the Void is, there will definitely be equipment for summoning, so you can summon Elsha with that.

I hope things go smoothly.

I had a feeling that things would not work out easily.
