Chapter 198.2
What was Welner-samas childhood like?
Me? Lets see.
Basically, there would be tutoring classes in the morning and afternoons would be devoted to exercise and training, but there would also be time for play occasionally.
I remembered watching the knights racing their horses, practicing musical instruments, and playing variations of Valeo, this worlds version of chess.
Valeo?
Valeo is a game where each piece has a specific move.
It was the same as Shogi and Chess, and the pieces you take away could not be used, just like in Chess. It occurred to me that a game like Shogi, where you could use the pieces you have taken, would be quite popular in this world. I should think about producing it next time.
But that would be for later.
There is also a way to move pieces using eight-sided dice. There are other details, though. If you want to try it out next time, please let me know.
Yes, Id like to try it.
The rules of the game were difficult to explain in words, so the best way was to give it a try. With that in mind, I took a sip of my water container.
Speaking of which, what other stories have you heard from the village priest (about the current church)?
Well, the things the village priest told us about was part of the series called The Myth of Creation, or something like that. It explains how the world came to be and so on.
Oooh whats the story?
Although I wasnt really interested in the God stories preached in churches, I was somewhat curious because of recent discoveries. Besides, it was human instinct to ask someone if you didnt know about something.
First of all, the Great God created many worlds, I heard.
Hmmm.
So the Great God decided to entrust each of the many worlds he created to his own child. Each world, one by one, was then managed by one of his children.
Hey God, dont just make something and give it away.
Are there going to be winner and loser worlds?
I dont think so, but
I jokingly mentioned it, making Lily chuckle. The conversation resumed while I was thinking about something stupid like I dont think I would like to mess with other worlds, or something along those lines
Though the creation of different worlds was mentioned, it didnt say what the differences were, I was only told that many worlds were created by the Great God.
I wonder if that god was doing some kind of experiment. It sounds so lazy considering that he dumped what he created on his children and let them deal with it. No, maybe he was a God who was just enjoying a slow life. From that point on, I started to envy him.
Various worlds, huh? I guess that means this world is one of the worlds he created.
That seems to be the case.
I wonder if there might be some important information hidden in this context. When it came to memories of my past life, myths were more likely to be made-up stories, but in this world, God did exist. Maybe this was not just a simple myth.
The worlds are completely unrelated to each other, and the god who took care of this world created many alter egos of himself and shared his power with each of them.
Alter egos, huh? It would be scary if they all had the same face.
That would certainly be scary.
Lily giggled. But that was a little odd. It wasnt uncommon to assign or share responsibilities with ones children even in religions of my previous world, but I didnt remember hearing about Gods splitting themselves up and sharing their power in my previous life.
I wondered if this made religion in this world become monotheism while at the same time, technically polytheism. It depends on whether you consider the alter ego to be a different God or the same God, and how you interpret it. It was definitely better for me to just listen as Lily continued as things only become more complicated when I think about it.
The God of this world divided his power, and thats how this world started. After that, it was all about the alter egos of that god that got involved, and how each of them came into contact with people.
I see. Thats interesting.
But then again, that was not necessarily the truth since it was technically a myth. A fantasy in this fantasy world, so unless I heard about the situation directly from God, there was a chance that the person who had written that codex had left it out by mistake.
But there were certainly some odd things that caught my attention. Though I said that it caught my attention, I could not figure out clearly what it was. I guess I probably just didnt have enough information. I should try recalling it later.
