chapter 23
23 – Finding the Hero (1)
“I wanted to know.”
“I wanted to know. What.”
“…… What kind of person is this savior that sister bites and sucks like that.”
Originally… Originally it was.
“So what kind of guy do you look like?”
“…… You look like a cheater.”
I still feel like a cheater.
A swindler who seduced a lovely older sister with his handsome appearance.
“What? Fraud? Ahahahaha.”
Hearing my answer, he started laughing as if he had heard a very funny story.
“… Why are you laughing?”
Why are you laughing? Was my answer funny?
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I see I look like a cheater Why do you look like an impostor?”
“You don’t look like the incarnation of a god at all. I only see him as an ordinary human being. As a swindler who is cheating on my sister.”
Lydia Recognize me through her sister’s name It was a shock to recognize my true identity.
To the point where I thought for a moment that he was a real rookie.
But. You can’t just call it God. Rather, if it were God, he wouldn’t have looked at it that way.
“Hmm… I mean.”
“Yes. My sister is cheating! I knew it would be like this!”
My sister was just fooled! So tell her sister and she’ll make sure she won’t be fooled by this guy anymore. And… I’m gonna keep her sister away from this guy.
And that role…… Okay. I. Because I’m going to play that part.
“Okay. Let’s pretend I’m a cheater. Are you going to go back and tell Lydia?”
“…… Huh?”
Are you going to go back and tell your sister?
“Are you going to go back and tell Lydia? I don’t see myself as a god at all. She says her sister is being deceived.”
Of course not. I came here to find out who the hell is that unnie believes and follows.
I’ll go right back and tell her sister who you are and bring her sister back to her senses!
“… Yea of course… Huh? Wait for a sec. If we go back like this…….”
…… Until now, I had only vaguely thought of meeting this guy. Is she really someone that her sister can trust and follow, or is she just a cheater.
And the idea of convincing her sister to stay away from this guy if he was a cheater. That was the only thought from the beginning.
“hahahaha. Okay. Your sister will never believe you No matter how much she loves her only sister, she won’t believe it.”
“…… Profit! No it’s not! Unnie, believe everything I say! Do you think she will believe your words rather than mine?”
I yelled no.
In my heart, I thought that would be the case.
Over 10 years, her older sister’s faith has grown.
No matter how much my sister loves and cares for me. No matter how much she listens to what she says.
Will my sister give up her trust with just my words?
“You seem to think that you wouldn’t believe what you said, too?”
Exactly.
Me too… It never occurred to me that I would be able to convince her sister.
“…… That, that Ah, because there is no proper evidence yet! Evidence! All you need is proof!”
But I couldn’t bring it out with my mouth.
My only family. My sister cherishes that man more than me!
I couldn’t admit that.
“So, I will find conclusive evidence from you and show it to my sister!”
I didn’t even know what I was spitting out.
“Oh ho. Does that mean you will continue to work as a maid and excavate information from me?”
…… Huh? What?
Continued?
Continuing to work as your maid… ?
…… That.
Maybe that’ll be fine…….
“Yes!”
“By the way. If so, is there any reason for me to use you as a maid? A woman obsessed with finding a weakness in me? Aren’t you going to do your job properly?”
“That, that’s why… ….”
Huh?
Come to think of it, yes.
I am a strange woman who is frantic to find a weakness in his situation and dig it out.
She’s there, a strange woman who ungratefully tries to rip off her face even though he saved her life.
Wait!
Looking at it like this, the first impression is the worst!
Oh no.
If you do this, you will hate me!
“… But if you keep one condition, I can use you as a maid.”
“…… What?”
“On one condition. If you keep that condition, I will use you as a maid.”
You want to use me as a maid?
…… Why
“So I am not a cheater?”
“Aren’t you a cheater?”
Not a scammer?
So, are you really talking about Deus who have descended to this world?
“Yes. Carry me by my side If so, I’ll show you. The words of Deus.”
“… ….”
By Luke’s side….
That’s… Good, good?
Oh no!
I’m not going to fall in love with this guy’s looks and stick around!
That… It could be that impostor!
It could be that your sister is being tricked and wasting her life!
Yes! She’s sacrificing me for her sister!
She sacrificed herself for the sake of her older sister who carried a lump of luggage called me!
“Okay. I will.”
Luke! I will reveal your true identity!
“You mean?”
“Yes. I will look at your every move by your side, find evidence that you are not a real god, and reveal all of your true face!”
Yes. That’s right. Not for me, but for my sister!
“… Heh good. Don’t expect I wonder if you can make it.”
“Huh. I’ll tell you to do it. I will protect her sister from your demonic beast!”
Wait a minute, sister!
I’m going to keep her sister away from this guy.
I’ll take the role of her and her older sister!

The next morning.
In the dormitory, I ate breakfast with the food prepared by Io.
Contrary to what I expected, Io’s food skills were good.
Even though she was a fallen aristocrat, she was the daughter of a high-ranking aristocrat, and Lydia took care of it, so I thought she wouldn’t be able to cook like this.
“What? You thought I couldn’t cook? Under! What do you think of me …… Ever since I was living with my sister and her alone, I’ve been doing her housework while she’s been doing her outside work.
Oh no. Is it like that?
Although I don’t know about the extra characters, I’m pretty much memorizing the characteristics of the main characters who appeared in [Deus Ex Machina].
Someone like a wise mother and wife who makes waste with cooking or who likes creepy creatures even though they have a cute appearance on the outside.
On the other hand, Io, who died before the start of the main story, did not know much about it, but he must have had a completely strange prejudice.
Rather, it’s a good thing.
If my maid couldn’t cook, life in the academy might have been difficult in the future.
The Calandra Academy, where I will be attending, does not operate or operate meals like the school I went to on Earth.
You can’t have lunch like that in a school where nobles wield absolute power outside.
The method used at the academy is individual meals.
The dormitory that the academy students receive is like a luxurious mansion with a bathroom, a kitchen, and a separate bedroom for the maid.
That is why most students live in the dormitory with meals prepared by maids.
Even so, it was very inferior compared to the luxurious life that academy students originally enjoyed.
Because of this, it is said that students strongly opposed it in the early days of the academy.
They say that the quality of life is so poor because they are forced to go to work, but the servants are not allowed to leave as they please.
However, the first emperor who first established the academy was so crazy that it didn’t work at all.
Some students who do not like the meals served by the maids use the various shops within the academy to eat their meals.
You can eat at the store or order room service to the dormitory.
Such scenes often appeared as cutscenes in [Deus Ex Machina].
However, since it is not always possible to buy food and eat it, the role of the maid who cooks is inevitably very important.
That’s why the academy also strictly evaluates cooking skills when selecting maids.
In the case of Io, I thought that he might not be able to cook because he sneaked in, but fortunately, his skill was satisfactory.
This might be better than what we ate at home… I’m sorry Uncle Jake.
If Io’s cooking skills weren’t good, she might have been unable to stand it and broke her promise to send her back home.
Meals are a big deal.
“I’m going out for a bit today. I’m waiting for you in the room.”
“Outing? The entrance ceremony will be tomorrow, right?”
“Oh, I have something to do.”
There is something I want to do in advance today.
Hidden secrets that exist inside the academy.
I haven’t been able to get one because it’s been impossible to enter the academy, but today I can afford it, so let’s get one.
…… I wanted to take a look around the academy in real life.
I witnessed it while leaving the dormitory and touring the academy buildings.
“Cow… To be honest, I don’t think it’s okay for aristocrats to reject their academy students just because they’re commoners….”
“What do you mean, commoner?”
The main character of [Deus Ex Machina]…….
I didn’t expect to see you here like this.
