Even if I want to go home, I simply can’t

When I opened my eyes, I’m already in another world.
…..that’s not really what happened.
More like, I was abducted by Floyd.
And I didn’t consent to this.
Which is why I’m not so excited about it. Feeling a little frustrated, I tried looking around.
I, Floyd, Shiro, and the Dark Goddess all stood over the bright magic diagram on the floor.
There were several other magic diagrams drawn on the fairly wide white room we are in, and there were also a few number of people in white robe around the diagram.
Of course, they’re standing around the diagram where we stood.
One of them rushed to us.

「ktbhwkrmsk?」

Hou. I really don’t get what you’re saying.
Though I can tell from the pitch that the voice belonged to a woman, but that’s all I know.
Floyd and Dark Goddess seemed to understand, but Shiro and I were clueless.
What should we do now?
I wanted to ask Floyd for a translation, but where is he now? There he is, seemingly thinking while floating near the ceiling.
…..apparently he’s in the middle of planning something. Come to think of it, can I also understand their language if I swap to complete [god]?
But before I could do so, the white robed people presented us rings equal to our number, then made a gesture that we should put the ring on.
Eh? I wonder if it’s okay?
Floyd seemed apprehensive a bit, but put on the ring regardless.

Oi oi, that easily?
But when I gave it some more thought, I realized that anyone of us here could’ve handled it even if these robed people wanted to hurt us.
So I also took the ring and put it on to my little finger where it fit the best.
The white robed woman, after confirming that we’ve put the ring on, spoke.

[Do you understand me now?]

Hou, now I can understand her.
I was actually could understand each and every one of her words.
To be able to comprehend completely foreign language after putting on this ring, what’s the deal with this?

[Ah, good. It seems the ring is working properly. Ah! The rings that I’ve given to you all is called the [Translation Ring]. It’s supposed to allow the wearer to be able to communicate with others regardless of language. That means I’ll also be able to understand you if you talk now.]

Hou! What a convenient item.
I entered [complete God] state for a bit to check the ring, but there is really only that function embedded inside.
U~mu. I guess there is really any need to doubt them here.
While I was pondering over that, White Robe-san began to talk again.

[You may be confused by the suddenness of things, but please lend us your power. It’s the reason why we summoned you from another dimension. …as for the detail, Her Highness Princess will explain it all to you. So please, save this world of ours.]

White Robe-san bowed her head to me.
Speaking of which, before being sent here, Floyd did said something about this world being in a crisis.
Apparently, he really said the truth back then.
No, not that I doubt White Robe-san’s words or anything.
What I suspected was Floyd’s credibility.

[Saving the world……un. That sounds fun!]

[Please keep yourself in moderation, Shiro.]

Shiro seemed to be happy at the prospect. Dark Goddess was more reserved about it.
Certainly, it should be possible if it’s us.
Even so, if Shiro is left to his own devices, I have a feeling that it’ll only affect this world in a bad way.
I’ll leave Shiro to managing to Dark Goddess for now.
Floyd and I didn’t say anything, but White Robe-san took that as an affirmative. So she gently stroked her chest in relief.
Well, she may have heard Shiro’s apparent excitement so there was that as well.
But I just want to go home right away.
Of course, I have no objection in saving this world, just that the timing is very bad.
After all, I’ll be having my wedding in a week.
Still, is it really fine for me to go even afterward?
Once I got back home …will I even be willing to return here?
Ah! If anything, Floyd will have to remain here until then.
I would be fine with that actually.
Perhaps, Floyd would’ve already saved the world when I got back.
……….Un. That’s good.
This world can be saved, and I can have my wedding.
A win-win situation.

I wanted to suggest that to White Robe-san, but it’s too late for that.
Suddenly, an earthquake occured. When it subsided, all the magic diagram inside the room gradually collapsed one after another.
Eh? What is this?
White Robe-san was also surprised by the situation.

[T-this, please go over here.]

With that, I hurriedly followed her direction and heading somewhere else.
Eh? We are on our own?
Well, that’s not bad per se.

[…..apparently, it seems that this world has been closed off]

And Floyd just have to say that.
Eh? Closed off?
I gave Floyd a look, my eyes urging him to explain.

[That is exactly what I mean, Wazu-sama. Before the sudden earthquake, I was in the middle of explaining things to the goddesses, but our connection was cut off during the earthquake. And still is. …so I can only presume that this world has been closed off. In other words, we are pretty much trapped in this world. We cannot return to our own world until we settle things down first.]

[It’s impossible even with your power?]

[It is impossible. Speaking in a more mundane manner, you cannot go out of town because the gate has been closed. And even if you could breakthrough the gate, you will not know where to proceed over the highway that connects each town, so you may end up on yet another world instead. In any case, I could not break through the closed world in my current weakened state anyway.]

[And what was the cause of that?]

[…..it is just my assumption, but probably because the sacred power that supports this world has weakened, and the power of the devils has already starting to completely overpower it.]

[………I see.]

U~n.
So we need to solve this world’s problems first after all.
It’s kind of troublesome, but since we’re already here, might as well go the full nine yards.
If we don’t finish early, I might not make it in time for my wedding.

…..
………Nn? Wait a second there.
What did Floyd say just now?

[……Floyd.]

[What is it, Wazu-sama?]

[……did you purposely skip something in your explanation?]

[It is exactly that.]

Ah, un, well… Of course.
I did understand that.
Just now, didn’t he say that he was speaking with the goddesses?
Well, that’s not what I want to hear right now.

[………..is it possible for me to do it? Contacting my wives, I mean.]

[That should be possible in『complete God』state.]

[…..but I couldn’t do it anymore right now?]

[Yes. It can only be done before the world is closed off.]

[……..why didn’t you tell me that earlier?]

Hearing that, Floyd simply went, oopsie? while tilting his head.

[You were not aware of that before?]

[Un. I wasn’t.]

[Right. It was always too hectic after Wazu-sama reached the complete god state, I kept forgetting to tell you about this.

[Un. It’s on purpose, isn’t it?]

[That is not true. This Floyd, as Wazu-sama’s butler, is truly ashamed with himself for forgetting to inform you about this.]

……un. I couldn’t sense any sincerity at all.

[Never mind. So, did you inform the goddesses about our current situation? Can they tell my wives in turn?]

[Do not be worried about that. I have told them to inform wives-sama properly….. On the other hand, I have a message from the Goddesses for Wazu-sama.]

Ee? Did something go wrong?
Floyd corrected his posture after tidying up his clothes. Then he coughed softly whilst twiddling with his throat a bit before saying,

[『Cheating is unforgivable! You already have your local wives; don’t even think about taking wives on another world!』. That is all.]

[As if I want to! Now that we mention it, that’s not even important at all!]

Floyd said it in an almost exact same tone.
Even to the point of imitating the Goddesses’ voice.
Putting efforts in such a vain thing; that’s just how this guy had become.

[Wazu, you’re in a pinch, aren’t you~]

[The Goddesses love him so it’s only par for the course. No need for the compassion, Shiro. When he got involved with those Goddesses, he brought it upon himself.]

[O~kay.]

Shiro and Dark Goddess were on different pages here.
But there was something wrong here.
Can I really get even more involved than I already am?
Aren’t we just friends?
Anyways, since we didn’t know where to go next, we simply stood around here waiting for the next development.
