Chapter 285.1. He’s Heimdall

Mii-chan decided to use System-san’s power to revive Heimdall.

System-san was reliable; it could provide support, even with its limited power.

-It will consume one wafer-

System-san was genuinely dependable. It appeared to take a solid payment.

Wafers, mentioned earlier, must refer to the wafer Mii-chan had just collected. It was a shame to use the hard-earned wafers, but there seemed to be no other option this time.

When Mii-chan pressed the board, a platinum-colored magic circle appeared at Heimdall’s feet. The magic circle rotated and illuminated Heimdall’s ashy body.

“What is this?”

Ignoring Heimdall’s astonishment, Mii-chan checked the board’s log.

-Summoning Heimdall-

“He’s a god that cost 500 yen. Of course, yes!”

Since he was a god obtained through payment, there was no choice other than summoning.

“Did you say something terrible? Waaah!”

Heimdall heard Mii-chan’s muttered words with his sharp ears. However, his body disappeared into the dazzling platinum pillar released from the magic circle, leaving behind a scream.

Gradually, the light subsided, revealing his reborn form.

He wore a feathered bowler hat, a leather shirt, and pants. He had a well-defined face, a cynical smile, and a slender but muscular build. His leather boots were equipped with spurs, making him look like he had stepped out of the Wild West.

He’s Heimdall, one of the Norse gods, the guardian of the Gods Realm, and the one who would blow the Gjallarhorn on the Ragnarok. The harmonica hanging from his waist has Gjallarhorn written in a magic pen, so it must be the Sacred Artifact Gjallarhorn.

“Heimdall, I paid upfront for your incarnation. So make sure to keep your promise.”

“…Is this what I look like?”

“No matter how you look at it, it’s Heimdall!”

I clenched my fist and asserted. He’s Heimdall. Heimdall had to look like Heimdall, no doubt about it!

“No, no, no! Where did I get the gunslinger look? I’m supposed to look like a fairy in a stylish feathered hat and a grass-green cloth outfit. That’s who I am!”

Ugh, it seems he knows about the Wild West era. He didn’t need to know that; he’s a Norse god.

The original Heimdall in the game did indeed look like that. I guess he became a bit different due to the irregular circumstances.

“Well, I think it’s fine, right? Even if you look like a fairy, no problem, no problem.”

“That’s because it’s about size! Am I a pocket-sized parrot? And Gjallarhorn is way too simple! Why a harmonica?!”

Heimdall jumped and protested in front of Mii-chan.

He looked like he could fit in the palm of my hand.

He might be a little smaller, that’s true. Gjallarhorn might be a bit simplistic. They probably used a harmonica as a substitute since they couldn’t obtain the real thing.

But there was a reason for all of this.

“I don’t want to share my power with others, so I skimped a bit.”

“Your definition of ‘a bit’ is off! This is terrible! You looked innocent and kind, but you’re a stingy lady, aren’t you?”

“Oh, come on! Be grateful that you could incarnate in this God Realm at all! If you don’t like it, you can try incarnating later. How about that?”

I spread my palm and waved it around, and Heimdall looked at me with a displeased expression, sighing sarcastically while slumping his shoulders.

After all, I had used the energy I had painstakingly gathered to incarnate him. He had no right to complain. Besides, he didn’t make any size-specific requests!

“…Sigh, you’re right. Let’s put this issue aside for now. We need to hurry up and set off.”

Heimdall seemed to have given up and reluctantly changed his expression to a serious one.

“Hmm? Haha, I see.”

I felt a new presence around them. It was the same aura as the Zombies from earlier.

“As long as the Golden power exists, they will revive. Behold, the souls of the gods floating in the sky are getting revived with the Golden power.” 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

Heimdall pointed to the sky. At the tip of his finger, a floated light orb wrapped in small Golden Threads descended to the ground.

When the light orb was enveloped in light, it took on a humanoid shape but looked like a decaying zombie.

“Uaaaa.”

Zombie landed on the ground, turned its head, and fixed its white, lifeless eyes on Mii-chan. It seemed to know where Mii-chan was.

It immediately started running toward her.

“What’s this?”

As it ran towards me, Zombie tried to grab me. I waited for the right moment, then kicked its jaw as it lunged, making a sharp cracking sound as its neck snapped, and Zombie fell backward.

“Let’s save the explanations for later, shall we? Now, let’s go to that temple!”

Heimdall climbs onto Mii-chan’s shoulder after clinging to her body.

Heimdall pointed his finger sharply at the temple located on the highest point of the hill.

-Sub Event: Stand On the Goddess’s Head-

A quest board appeared before them once again. Another subquest, it seemed. The goddess statue must be the gigantic one standing before the temple.

Despite being large enough to be seen from a distance, it appeared to be in a state of decay, with half of its body collapsed and no traces of its former mystique.

“Quest-san seems unusually friendly and childlike now, right? Why is that?”

It felt different from before, more friendly and imbued with a sense of human intention. I wonder why?

-The transformation function may not work correctly because of uncertain transmission conditions. Please wait for an update.-

Ah, I see. It’s because we’re in the God Realm. That makes sense. It must be difficult for System-san’s communication to reach me here.

“Now, what are you doing? While you’re standing here, those poor creatures are coming back to life. Let’s hurry.”

“Don’t pull a girl’s hair!”

I scolded Heimdall, who was pulling my hair insistently. I gave him a gentle tap and leaned forward, starting to run.

As we ran through the ruins, one after another, light orbs descended into the abandoned buildings, and Zombies began to crawl out, taking on their physical forms.

Zombies appeared in front of Mii-chan as she sprinted along the ashen path.
