Chương 4: The Church and The Summoning
"So this is the church? Somehow it's smaller than I thought maybe because this is a small town?"
In front of Haruto was a building about 10 m height and quite luxury compared to other buildings with the logo of the goddess, Eisha.
'I see, her name is Eisha huh. Come to think of it I never ask her name.' It seemed Eisha was the goddess of creation and she was worshipped all over the world.
Right now inside the church was a few people praying in front of an altar made of crystal. The altar had a what supposed to be Eisha the goddess' statue. Supposed yes, it was because Haruto couldn't see the statue as the goddess that he met. It was a crystal statue of a petite woman about 10 years old with pigtails hair wearing a robe with cape and holding a staff about 1.5x her height.
....He even started to doubt whether he came to the right church or whether the goddess that he met was really Eisha or perhaps Eisha fake her appearance to him when they met. But from what he heard from other people there should be no other goddess exist beside Eisha.
'What the hell, are the people of this world worshipping a loli?' Haruto started to shuddered from his thought, there won't be FBI knocking on his door if he worshipped her too right?
'I guess I just have to try it, Eisha did not tell me what to do when i went to the altar maybe i just have to pray like the others?'
Haruto decided to pray just like the other believers. He went in front of the altar and kneel while holding his hands in front of his chest and closed his eyes.
All of a sudden he started to feel dizzy as if he was moving at a very high speed. When the odd sensation was gone and he opened his eyes he was in a white space that he's been through after his death before.
An as expected the goddess too was there standing in front of him as if she's been waiting for his arrival.
"Hello Haruto-kun! It's nice to see you again~ did you miss me??"
"Well, it's not even been a day before we separated so....huh?" Haruto smiled wryly to the goddess' words but he noticed something strange about her.
"Hey are you alright? You don't seem to be in a good condition what's wrong?" Yes, the goddess was different, her beautiful pristine skin now seemed pale like a sick person she's even sweating a little and her smile seemed kinda forced.
"Oh don't worry about that I'm just a little tired from my work! Hehehe~" Haruto narrowed his eyes to her words somehow she sounded suspicious.
The goddess realized that but she did not answer him. "Well don't worry about me let's focus on you instead since we don't have much time here you see~."
Haruto could only relent since she did not intend to tell him anything but he couldn't help but being worried about her. The goddess smiled and happy that he's worried about her. It seemed her condition turn better for awhile and she's not sweating anymore.
"Just like I told you before I will give a companion for free. Just this time though! Next time you have to bring me the crystal okay!"
"Alright alright but are you sure about this? I mean I'm happy that you're being generous to me but..."
"Just consider it as me having a good mood today and your reward for not being greedy before."
"Okay then... But before thay I'd like to ask you, are you Eisha? If so then you seem...different."
"Eh? Oh yeah you must seen the statue on my altar huh I forget about that. Well for your question, I'm indeed Eisha and I'm the same goddess that the people there worshipped."
"Is that so? Then why did your statue turn into a loli?"
Eisha's body twitched from his question and she didn't know how to answer him. With troubled face she averted her eyes from Haruto and started to tell him the reason.
"W..Well it's embarrassing but a long time ago I once descend to the world because I'm bored." Eisha's cheeks were red.
"And then out of a whim I assumed the appearance of a ten years old girl and altered my face a little." Eisha's cheeks turn redder while scratching her cheek.
"While I was enjoying my trip there for awhile there's problem occurred within my church and a civil war happened. To stop them from fighting I revealed myself in front of the leader of the two faction but..." The goddess stopped and her words stuck on her throat.
"But...?"
".....I forgot to change my appearance back to normal." The goddess averted her face while blushing.
"....And then?" Haruto asked.
"Well.... I revealed to them that I was Eisha and for some reason when they saw how I look they seemed elated. They said some weird things like "The goddess has spoken!" "My faith was not betrayed!" "How befitting of a goddess, Marvelous!" "See? I told you that the goddess would look like this! Haha was right!!" "Yeah now I'm agree with you brother she really looks wonderful Hahaha!" I didn't understand what they were talking about at that time...."
"...."
Haruto was speechless. His mind froze and his gaze were blank. Both him and Eisha turned silent.
The faction leaders were lolicons!
And to think that the cause of the civil war was the argument between two factions about Eisha's look!
It seemed one of the leader insisted that she would look like a cute innocent little girl while the other insisted the she would look like a mature and graceful young woman, in other words, an onee-san. But after seeing her appearance as a loli the Onee-san faction leader was enlightened and turned into a lolicon too!
"...."
"...."
The silence continued until Haruto cleared his throat and gave Eisha a very lovely smile while patting her head.
"Don't pat me!"
"It's okay I understand." Haruto made an understanding face while he went "Umu, Umu." like a sage and stroke his non-existent beard.
"Nooo it's not like that!! Don't give me that eyes full of pity!!"
"No~ No~" Eisha clutch her head with her hands while shaking her head furiously.
For some time until they both calmed down it's time for Haruto to claim what he came for.
"*Cough* O..Okay let's proceed to the summoning and I will explain a little before that." Eisha cleared her throat and regained back her dignity a little.
"Yeah I have few questions about that. You said that you will summon a girl from anime or manga if that's the case then will they disappeared from the world? And won't they reluctant to get dragged to this world if that so?"
"You don't have to worry about that actually rather than a summoning it's more correct to be creation. Because what I call is not from other world but made from a fiction and their personality will based on the information from the source. In other words I will make a character that did not exist before."
"Huh? You can do that? And that means I can't get a character from a story that exists for real?"
"Well creation is my forté after all. And yes you can't summon a character that exist for real even I can't selfishly summon someone out of their world you see."
"I see, in that case I'll just leave it to you for who to summon then. I don't know which story is real and which story is pure fiction you see just make sure her personality is good."
"Sure, that seems better that way. And sorry about this but for this first summoning I cannot give you someone with high combat ability. The main role for her will be to support you and act as like your assistant. She won't have any knowledge of her origin and I will also make sure that she'll stay loyal to you along with minimal knowledge about the world and you."
Haruto nodded, he did not have any problem with that and someone that loyal and could do odd jobs for him was also preferable.
Eisha closed her eyes and made a gesture for praying. She started chanting and her body began to glow. The glow grew brighter and brighter untill it turned into a massive pillar of light that shot upwards.
The light gathered in front of Haruto and he had to closed his eyes against them. The shine continued until it started to dim
and turned into a sphere about 2m in diameter.
When the light started fading out a silhouette of a young woman was seen inside the sphere. After some time the light completely faded and the sphere disappeared.
What left there was a teenage girl with her eyes closed. She had long dark hair kept in ponytail with what seemed like an accessory with skull shape placed at the side of her head.
She wore a short, violet kimono complimented by lavender thigh-high socks and wooden sandals. In her hands she hold a broom that looked like a besom (witch-like broom). She also wore a pink hagoromo around her neck.
The girl started to open her eyes revealing her black eyes similar to Haruto. She and Haruto stare at each other for awhile until she smiled brightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you kami-sama! I'm a devil from hell that came to help you and my name is Elucia de Lute Ima! Please call me Elsie!"
