Volume 7 Chapter 160

The Evil God’s Blunder

A slightly different scene.
This is a story about how the blessing (Luck) given by the Creator God influenced──even such matters.

After the Evil God had reincarnated Haruto—-
「I’ve used quite a bit of power……I’ll rest for a while. I’m counting on you for what comes next」
「Yes」
The Evil God entrusted the future to a Shikigami and was about to sit down in a chair to sleep.
「Oh! Evil God!」
「What is it now? I’m at my limit. Let me sleep」
「We didn’t decide on a destination for that person’s reincarnation!」
「……. What?」
「If we leave it like this, the soul of that person from another world will drift into this divine realm. If that happens, it will become evident even to the Creator God that we’ve arbitrarily reincarnated someone from another world」
「Then just reincarnate them into some random slave or something」
「I can’t do it as a Shikigami. It’s necessary for the god that is you, the Evil God, to decide the destination of the reincarnation!」
「Dammit……. fine. Bring me the choices」
「Yes!」
Saying so, the Shikigami brought a circular board and a hand-thrown dart.
「What’s this?」
「It’s a game from another world called darts. Please throw this dart toward the target I have」
The Shikigami handed the hand-thrown dart to the Evil God. Then, she walked a bit away from the Evil God and prepared a target above her head.
「Okay, go ahead! Just don’t hit me!」
The Evil God, who had invested quite a bit of power into Haruto’s reincarnation and curse, wanted to go to sleep right away.
Therefore, without really reading most of the characters written on the target, he threw the dart.
A god is basically all-knowing.
Even the act of throwing a dart towards a target will always hit the intended spot, even if done haphazardly.
Without thinking about it, the Evil God aimed for the center of the target.
The dart thrown by the godly Evil God naturally hit the center of the target, just as he intended.
「Oh! Congratulations, Evil God-sama! You got it in one shot—- oh……」
Right after the Evil God threw the dart, he lost consciousness.
He had fallen asleep.
Well, that’s fine.
The Evil God will wake up on his own eventually.
The problem was Haruto’s destination of reincarnation.
Most of the targets— about 90% held by the Shikigami were labeled as 『slaves』.
Remaining 10% of them were labeled as 『commoners』,and these were distributed around the center of the target.
And right in the center of the target, in an area about as small as a grain of rice, was a potential reincarnation labeled as『noble』.
The dart thrown by the Evil God had perfectly landed in that minuscule area the size of a rice grain.
By the way, both the target and the dart were created by the Shikigami with the aid of some of the Evil God’s power. As soon as the dart stuck to the target, Haruto’s destination of reincarnation was determined.
Trying to hit the target again would be meaningless.
「Uh-oh……」
Cold sweat appeared on the Shikigami’s face.
She looked at the sleeping Evil God with fear.
The Evil God was still in the posture of throwing the dart.
「Uh, the decision was made by the Evil God, right!? Besides, since his stats are fixed, there’s no way he’ll be able to accomplish anything. Yeah, yeah, it’ll be fine for sure!」
Trying to justify herself, the Shikigami spoke to the sleeping Evil God, then quickly disposed of the target and the dart.
Thus, it was decided that Haruto would be reincarnated as the third son of the Silvery Earl family, a prominent noble family of the Glendale Kingdom.

With the talk about the Creator God’s blessing, I also wrote about the reason why Haruto could be reincarnated as a noble.
