Author's Note!The next two chapters would be all about Akami-sama and basically wrap up everything that concerns the god. After that I guess we should start working on Yuri, huh? Anyway, here is the next chapter.
( Yoku POV)
Monika and I spent the whole day sitting on the sofa. Damn it, my legs, back, arms and neck are sore from what we did last night. Monika can't walk and her body is sore all over. My body is covered in marks and scratches because of Monika.
" Yoku~ I want water!" Monika points weakly towards the kitchen.
" I can't. You drained me of all my strength." I say as one of my legs hang limply at the side of the sofa.

A bright light envelops us. Suddenly, I could feel my strength returning, bit by bit. The sores and scratches on our bodies also disappear. After a brief moment, the strange light disappears and a pink dialogue box appears before us.
[ You guys better not be having sex again! Go make dinner now!]
We stand up and stretch our limbs. Thanks Akami-sama... Wait, COULDN'T HE HAVE DONE THAT EARLIER?! Guess that god just wanted us to have a relaxing day for ourselves.
" Aaahh! Standing up feels so good! And I don't feel parched anymore." Monika exclaims cheerfully as she stretches her arms.
" Hmmm, it seems they're coming ho- What the hell is wrong with that?" I point at the notebook Akami-sama gave us. It's shaking slightly and glowing dimly. I pick it up and I take a look at its pages.
ERROR:ERROR INSUFFICIENT ENERGY. POCKET DIMENSION BACKUP ENERGY IS DEPLETED. DUMPING DATA.
Suddenly, the notebook started to glow brightly and shake violently. Suddenly, it started to levitate and a small portal opened. Then a bunch of small lines of code appear in my living room. It then manifests into different items, then more and more items flooded into the living. room.
" Y-Yoku! What is this?!" Monika cries out as she is being buried in different kinds of items.
" AKAMI-SAMA!!!" I shout and cry out as a bunch of weapons like swords and guns fall beside me.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, it finally stops. Monika and I manage to wriggle out of the huge pile of clutter in the room. Holy hell, the items in front of me ranges from what seems to be primordial rocks to futuristic guns. I sigh as I look at some of the items. There is an Iron Cross with some German papers, a piece of black wood with the word Hiroshima on it, a large scale with a paper wrapped around it with the name 'Dragon' on it. I look around some more and see a familiar oven with the name 'Phone Microwave' written on it, a large sword called Excalibur and a wooden chalice and a spear with blood on its end. Monika found some badass looking pistols, they are black and white coloured with a long barrel. They are kept in a box with the name 'Alucard' etched on it. I tell her to put it down, and continue to inspect the items. I've found the Necronomicon and a box with the words 'Philosopher's Stone's written on it. I continue looking around when I found a hand among the clutter.
" What the hell?! OH MY GOD IT'S A PERSON!" I jump back in shock as a young blonde girl wearing a gothic lolita costume stood up from among the clutter. Her face and skin is like that of a porcelain doll due to it's smooth, silky and pale appearance.
" HUH?! W-WHERE AM I? AKAMI?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" The girl fumbled around and before panicking once more.
" THE COLLECTION! IT'S A MESS! AKAMI-SAMA IS GOING TO KILL ME IF I DON'T FIX THIS!" The girl then started picking up some of the items and arranging them on the floor.
" Monika, make some tea. I'll handle this." Monika nods and runs to the kitchen. I kneel down beside the girl and pick up a small dagger, only for my hand to be slap.
" Do not touch! Dangerous!" The girl looks at me harshly, before taking the dagger.
" Sorry! Um, may I ask, who are you?"
" Her name is Maido." A voice from the front door said with a concerned tone.
" Akami-sama!" The girl skips excitedly towards the god.
" Hmm? Oh my, did the pocket dimension finally collapse? That took a while." The god enters the house slowly. The two slowly and sleepily following him.
" Eh? Are we in my room? It's very messy here." Sayori says sleepily while rubbing her eyes.
" Nope. It seems the movers finally brought my stuff over. Oh! Why don't you and Natsuki check on NyanNyan while I clean up?" Akami-sama spoke with a warm and persuasive voice. His lies are so damn easy to see, but the airhead kept believing them.
" Sure! It would be much better to play with that monster than clean this mess." Natsuki says before taking Sayori by the hand and running off.
" Now, let's get this mess cleaned up. Maido! Inventory Check!" The god shouts as he opens his command console.
" All items complete. Items are:
728 elements, 118 known. All radioactive materials are sealed properly.
750000000 books. 40% Of said books are eroge. 10% Historical books. 20% Literature books. 30% categorized as 'Whatever'.
3000000 artifacts. Separated in different periods ranging from ancient to future time periods.

571000 sexual parapher-"
" Ok stop. I've heard enough." Akami-sama raises a hand. He looks around before snapping his fingers.
" Everyone, hold on tight!" He says before entering something in the command console.
/Object create: Wall.30x30x30, Location:5 meters below characterID_Akami-sama
The room begins to shake violently as if there an earthquake is happening. A small door appears on the floor, then the room stops shaking. Then once again, the god types something on the console.

Suddenly, the clutter in the living room disappears from view. The god clasps his hands together and smiles.
" Maido, rearrange the mess downstairs please." The girl merely nods before climbing down the newly formed basement... Wait, THE DOOR RUINS THE DESIGN OF THE HOUSE!
" Akami-sama! Don't make the it stick out of place!" I point at the rustic looking hatch. The god laughs and snaps his fingers, making the design of the hatch fit the design of the light brown hardwood flooring.
I sigh and take a sit on the sofa. I can hear the loud and messy moving of clutter in my new basement. Monika sets down some hot green tea on the coffee table. I took a sip of the tea before letting out my damn anger on the god.
" WHAT THE HELL MAN?! I THINK I SAW AN INFINITY GAUNTLET IN THERE, WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING?" I angrily say as I put down the mug on the table.
" Hahaha, it's a shame I have to delete that. Anyway, I've been collecting things to help me remember the realities I've visited. But some of the items there are for my personal needs as well." The god lets out a hearty chuckle.
" But then, who is that... Maido?" Monika asks as she sips a cup of tea.
" She is a helper I made to help take care of my collection. You don't have to worry about her, she is merely a simple program." The god smile as he takes a sip of tea.
" Anyway, tomorrow I'd go spend the day here. Hiding from Natsuki. Of course I'm gonna tell them my goodbyes, I'm not some uncivilized monster to not say good bye to the people I consider my children!" He chuckles as he sips his tea.
" I'm going to give you my collection. You know, to remember the person that made all of this. And take good care of Maido! It was a pain in the ass to code her AI! Of I remember correctly... I think I spent a few centuries fixing bugs and coding her AI." He laugh as he reminisce some rather fond memories.
" Ahhh, I can't believe I'll die tomorrow, or rather, get deleted. It's been a nice life... Ahaha... You guys want dinner?" The god stands up and clasps his hands together.
The god hums as he made his way to the kitchen. Monika and I stare at the cup of tea in our hands. What a troublesome being, he is a huge pain in my ass, drops by whenever he wants, a complete and utter fool, but most of all... it would be hard for me when he is gone. I stand up and let out a heavy sigh. Monika looks at me with a worried look on her green eyes.
" I'm going to pick up Natsuki and Sayori. You stay here and... watch over the damn kitchen." I laugh as I leave the house.
The cold breeze blew gently, yet it sent a chill down to my bones. The bright street lights illuminates the streets nicely. I walk towards Sayori's house, hearing the playful laughter of the two and the meowing of NyanNyan. I knock on the door before opening it. I see Sayori and Natsuki paying with a kitten as white as the snow. It seems that Akami-sama also took the little ball of anger to a groomer. The little kitten runs up to me and rubs itself on my leg.
" Look! NyanNyan likes you!" Sayori points at the small kitten.
" Haha, it seems it finally decided to show its cute side. Like somebody here." I give Natsuki a glance before chuckling.
" I-I'M NOT CUTE! AND I HAVEN'T SHOWN YOU ANY 'CUTE' SIDE!!! Idiot!" Natsuki huffs at me. Her face turning red with anger.
" Eh? But your reaction right now is pretty cute!" I walk over and pet her on the head.
" Get your hands off me! Perv!" Natsuki hisses at me.
" Fine. Fine. Look, dinner is ready. Although Akami-sama is the one cooking." I said to the girls.
" Oh, then what are we waiting for? We shouldn't let the food get cold!" Sayori perks up and immediately drags Natsuki out of the door. I pick up NyanNyan and we head towards my house.
We enter the lively household. I look around to see that Maido and Monika are sitting on the dining table while Akami-sama is cooking in the backround. The aroma of basil and tomatoes fill the air as it wafts trough our noses. We plop ourselves down on the dining table and listen to Maido's story. Monika just finished asking the little girl if Akami-sama is good at cooking.
" Hey! I'm pretty good at coo-" Akami-sama tries to answer the question, but Maido cuts him off.
" That is a contradiction. Master rarely cooks, and in the rare times he did, it is either palatable or repulsive." Her tone is calm and gentle. An aura of elegance emanates from her.
" Anyway, what is your relationship with Akami-sensei?" Natsuki asks the girl, who gives her a blank stare, before answering.
" Maido is a property of Akami-sama's design. I am tasked with responsibility of taking care of Akami-sama's collection." She spoke in an unfeeling tone, like a machine. Suddenly, Akami-sama serves us a plate of spaghetti.
" Oops! I totally forgot about that! Maido, starting today, I'm not your master anymore!" Akami-sama says in a cheerful tone as he sat down. But as he took a sit, Maido stands up.
" Affirmative. Maido is no longer of use to master, I am being thrown away. I wi-" Akami-sama throws his arms up and shakes his head.
" Woah! Woah! Hold it right there! It's not like that! I'm saying that you will now recognize Yoku as your new master! Geez, automatons take everything seriously." Akami-sama sighs and settles down. Maido stares at me for a moment, before sitting down.
" Affirmative. Maido no longer recognizes Akami as her master and is no longer obligated to follow any commands from him." She says in a cold manner before beginning to eat.
" Geez... what is her deal? It's like she isn't a person at all." Natsuki mumbles as she begins to twist the noodles around her fork.
" Now, on to the main topic. As you all know, I would be traveling the world for a while. I don't know when I'll get back, but please don't worry about me!" Akami-sama says with a calm tone to prevent tg
he girls from panicking.
" Oh, but... can't you contact us trough-"
" No can do Natsuki. I'll be going off the grid. You know, to help me search for myse-"
" That is a contradiction. Akami-sama cannot travel the entire world due to his hea-" I tug on the girl's blouse to get her attention and to make her stop talking.
" Maido, this is an order... do not tell them." I whisper to her quietly. She stares at me for a moment before nodding.
" My apologies. Please continue." The table shifts their attention from us to Akami-sama.
" Anyway, yeah... I'll be off the grid while I travel. In the meantime, Maido here would be the one taking care of the household while I'm gone." The god smiles to try and lift the solemn atmosphere on the table. Natsuki stops eating and looks at the god.
" Do you... really have to go?" Natsuki asks, and we can see that she is holding back her tears.
" I'm really sorry... I have too. I still need to find someone, someone very important." The room became dead silent. Natsuki's lips quiver and she folds her hands into a fist. She stands up angrily, tears falling from her face.
" I... I'm not hungry anymore." She says weakly before running away. Tears trail behind her as she dashes trough the front door.
" Natsuki! Wait! God damn it..." I shout to try and grab her attention in vain.
" Let her be, she needs some time alone." Monika tried to comfort me, but I just can't help but feel sorry for her.
We continue to eat in silence. The atmosphere around us is heavy. Nobody could really enjoy a good meal with this kind of tension in the air. Thankfully, Sayori finally breaks the silence.
" U-Ugh... I'd sure miss your lively chats here in the dining table!" Sayori says cheerfully yet awkwardly.
" Hoh? Why is that? You have a bunch of friends here Sayori, so you have no reason to miss my awfully boring stories." The god says before drinking a glass of water.
" Well... That's the point! Without you, who would serve as the main source of laughter during dinner time? You're the one who sets the atmosphere in this house, and it would sure be a little less brighter without you here, Akami-sensei." Sayori says to the god with a warm tone.
" Sayori, I-"
" Not to mention... who would protect us at school? You were the one that actively fought against those meanies, and without you, Yoku won't be able to face them alone." Sayori says with a saddened tone.
I remember now! Akami-sama is the one preventing the three girls from being bullied at school. Since he has the power to nearly everything that is happening, he is able to prevent the girls from being picked on or harassed by the other students. I shot a worried look at Sayori, who is still looking intently at the god.
" Sayori... I'm really sorry. But please understand. I can't always be here to protect you guys. Yoku however, I know he can. So please, don't place your faith in me, Yoku here is the hero of this club." The god smiles as he points at me.
" Still... We will all miss you. Without you here, the house would be more quieter." Sayori grumbles as she looks at her empty plates.
" Then double the noise you make! Ahaha! Simple! Just make the same amount of noise as me and it would be like I was never gone!" Sayori can't help but chuckle at the god's strange answer.
" Yup, I'll surely miss you... Akami-sama." Sayori says with a cheerful yet weak tone.
" Oh, I'll miss you guys too." The god says in a comforting voice and a smile.
After dinner, Maido insisted that she will wash the dishes. I reluctantly agree to let her wash the dishes. Sayori and Akami-sama went home to talk with Natsuki, while Monika and I went to bed. We change into our pajamas and jump on top of the mattress. Thankfully, Monika can restore an item to a new and cleaner state. The smell of lavender fills my nose as I bury my face in the pillows.
" Yoku... give me a goodnight's kiss?" Monika whispers to me before looking at me with puppy eyes.
" Sure. Here... Muah~" I gently kiss her cheek before laying down on my side to face her.
I pull her closer so that I can cuddle with her. The warmth that radiates from her body made me feel at ease. I wrap my warms around her and nuzzles her nose. Her soft breathing, the way her legs try to wrap around mine and her fragrant brown hair slowly made me sleepy.
" Hey, do you think Natsuki would be fine?" Monika asks in a soft and worried tone.
" I don't know. But let's just hope for the best, okay?" I reply to her sleepily. She stays quiet and pulls me closer to her.
As I drift off to sleep, I sigh quietly. I don't know why, but I feel that things might take a turn for the worse on Monday. The usually relaxing and soothing sleep I get with Monika is not able to keep such thoughts away from me. What would happen to the world now? The restlessness and anxiousness I feel right now is unbearable. I just want this whole thing to be over with.
