When Peach came back from the past and opened her eyes, Shrein, who was by her side, immediately noticed.
“Oh? Did you feel it?”
“Yes. …I seem to be a bit dizzy…”
Peach tried to get up, but Kousuke stopped her.
“You shouldn’t get up yet. It’s the first time you’ve gone to the past.”
In fact, the fact that she was able to do such a crazy thing as going to the past, even with her soul, was due to a combination of Kousuke’s Divine Blessing and another factor.
That factor came into the conversation.
[Are you okay?]
Peach widened her eyes at the presence that peeked in at her.
The way the voice was transmitted was different from usual, but above all, it was not physical, but translucent, as if Peach was using the power of Divine Blessing.
Even in such a state, the power that was being transmitted was extraordinary.
If there had been a priestess here, they would not be able to handle the power coming from the translucent being watching Peach.
The power was Divine Power just like Kousuke’s.
“I’m, I’m fine~.”
She tried to get up in a panic, but Kousuke held her shoulders and would not allow her to do so.
[I was so nervous, but Kousuke and I supported you, but it was still a reckless act.]
The woman who seemed to be a Goddess also told Peach to remain in bed.
When two deities told her that, Peach had no choice but to stay quiet.
She gave up and decided to lie down and rest for a while.
“Um~. I would like to ask you what happened in the end.”
Unable to bear the Goddess looking at her as usual, she decided to inquire about what had happened.
She knew that she had managed to hand over the items as intended, but she didn’t know if it had gone well or not.
“Oh. Don’t worry anymore. They’ve properly established the future.”
[Yes. Thanks to you.]
In the first place, this time around, they moved to properly determine the events of the past.
That alone may sound like nothing, but the Prost Jewel that Peach went to the past to give was originally given to a “powerful person,” according to Prost Clan lore, and it was not known who that person was specifically.
And the Goddesses were no exception.
The Goddesses knew that it was brought from the future, but they did not know exactly who had brought it.
This was because even from the point of view of the Goddesses, there was more than one future, and it was possible that someone other than Peach had brought it to the past.
However, since Peach had gone back in time and given the Prost Jewel to Ines, it was confirmed that Peach had given what Kousuke had created, at least in the world where they were now.
Of course, someone other than Kousuke could have created the Prost Jewel.
However, according to the Goddess who was present at this moment, when Kousuke came to this town, there was no future for anyone other than Kousuke to create it.
That was why she supported Kousuke by giving an oracle, and even assisted Peach.
This was the reason why Biana had categorically called Kousuke a “Supreme One” from the very beginning.
And of course.
The goddess who was present before them right now was Clara, the Goddess of the Mountain.

Since Peach had just gone back in time and had not yet regained consciousness.
Kousuke, confident that she had successfully traveled back in time, realized something.
“…Could it actually work?”
“Kousuke…?”
Kousuke, who had been watching Peach with his eyes closed, suddenly got up and started wandering around the room.
Shrein, who was used to Kousuke’s eccentric behavior, simply watched as Kousuke suddenly got up and started wandering around the room. Biana, who had just met him a few days ago, had an expression of not knowing what to do.
“Un. I knew it.”
Kousuke, oblivious to the gazes of those around him, muttered this and then began to cast a spell.
After the spell was over, a summoning circle with tremendous power appeared.
[In a case like this, should I be stunned or pleased?]
After the summoning circle disappeared, Clara, who had been summoned by Divine Summoning, was standing there with an expression of exasperation.
[So, Kousuke has successfully summoned me to this world. Divine Summoning should not be so easy to use, though…]
***
Clara was explaining to Peach, who was still lying down, the circumstances leading up to her own summoning.
Kousuke, who had been given a dumbfounded look by Clara, deliberately turned his gaze in an unintended direction.
“Well, it’s Kousuke-sama’s thing~.”
Peach was not particularly surprised when Clara told her the story of how she was summoned.
She figured that Kousuke would do something like that.
“That’s expected of Kousuke.”
Shrein nodded in agreement.
Shrein was more surprised by Kousuke’s sudden behavior and not by the fact that he had summoned Clara.
The reason was the same as Peach’s.
“I feel like we both have become weird because of him.”
[I think it’s true, right?]
After Clara had pointed it out to him, Kousuke gave up trying to refute them.
Kousuke redirected his thoughts and was thinking that everything seemed to have worked out well.

[Isn’t it about time?]
After about 30 minutes of such chit-chat, Clara came to mention this to Peach.
Peach carefully raised herself up, but did not feel any discomfort any more.
“Yes~. I seem to be fine.”
Peach stood up and smiled, and Kousuke looked relieved as well.
“Good. It’s your first time using that power, so we don’t know what’s going to happen.”
[Right. But you’ll be fine now.]
To the two deities who nodded in unison, Peach cut in fearfully.
“I understand how it happened, but why was Clara-sama summoned~?”
“…I don’t know? I just felt like I could summon her somehow, so I called her.”
Even Kousuke did not have a clear reason for summoning her.
The most obvious reason was that it seemed possible to summon her, but he also had a hunch that it would be better for Kousuke to summon her.
[You don’t have a clue, after all, do you?]
Clara prodded him furiously.
“Sorry, I don’t.”
[No need to apologize. I wanted to take my time to see the world, and I didn’t have that kind of time during my previous descent. Besides, I can kind of understand why you called me here.]
“You kind of understand?”
Kousuke asked back at Clara’s words.
[Well, don’t panic, don’t panic. It’s still too early to answer that.]
“So it’s too early to mention… is it a ceremonial thing with strict time constraints?”
[Correct answer.]
Kousuke said this as a guess, but it seemed that his guess was correct.
Clara’s chatting earlier was also meant to be a way of waiting for the time to pass.
“Um…are you okay with the summoning time or something?”
Biana, who had been listening to the conversation with the deities in a daze from earlier, asked such a thing.
Even Biana, who did not know much about Divine Summoning, at least knew that there should be conditions for the summoning of the gods.
[No problem. After all, it was Kousuke who set the condition that the summoning time would be limited to the end of the event.]
As Biana had predicted, normal Divine Summoning had a time limit, but Kousuke had rewritten that part to summon Clara.
[Besides, if it were you, you would know why I was summoned, wouldn’t you?]
Biana’s face lit up at the question.
“Then…?”
[Yes. I’m going to perform the Prost Clan’s resurrection ritual as it is].
At Clara’s words, Kousuke and the others tilted their heads, and Biana started to weep with joy.
