Chapter 2537: Bipolar God Tiana ⑳
Tiana-san, who had gone to speak with Lilia-san a bit more, quickly returned, and since preparations were all in order, the barbecue began without issue.
[Well~~ Lilia-chan clearly looked relieved. Just like Nebula-san said, she seemed to think it’d be rude not to display it somewhere people could see. I’m glad we managed to tell her before it was too late.]
『Outputting reflection…… <Perhaps when we said we wanted her to display it and enjoy it, it unintentionally became pressure despite no ill intent>…… Our thinking from Lilia Albert’s perspective was insufficient.』
[When worlds differ, so do their common senses, so it can be a tricky matter. In situations like that, I recommend asking Canalis-san for advice.]
Both Tiana-san and Electrone-san were reasonable and sensible individuals, and they properly acknowledged and reflected on the fact that they had unintentionally put pressure on Lilia-san. That alone made it clear how kind-hearted the two of them were.
Honestly, my own thinking had been naïve as well. I might’ve simply assumed that anything related to dragons would make her happy.
In response to them, Nebula-san suggested seeking advice from Canalis-san. Indeed, Canalis-san didn’t seem like someone who often made mistakes in that area. Even when she first met Lilia-san, she didn’t appear to place any pressure on her, and when she went around greeting the rulers of various nations as Nifty’s representative, everything went smoothly.
[I think part of it is simply a difference in experience. I’ve traveled across many worlds to the point of being called Vicissitude God, but Tiana-san and Electrone-san haven’t really had many opportunities to visit other worlds.]
[That’s true. There are still a lot of things we have to figure out as we go. Adjusting the scale of our existence when visiting a world was actually pretty difficult.]
『Outputting agreement…… <Ah, that part was quite difficult for me as well. Shallow Vernal’s world doesn’t have outer space and is relatively small in scale>…… During my first visit, my adjustments were somewhat insufficient, so I had to readjust locally.』
At Tiana-san’s explanation with a wry smile, Electrone-san nodded in agreement. It felt like I’d heard something similar before, Makina-san had said something along those lines too, if I recall.
[Come to think of it, Makina-san also mentioned that since Trinia is small, she has to be very careful.]
[To put it in a way that’s easy for Kaito-sama to understand, imagine Tiana-san and Electrone-san’s existence scale is about the size of a soccer ball. If you try to put a soccer ball into a bathtub…… it’s easy, right? You could just toss it in, and the bathtub wouldn’t break. But if you tried to put it into a glass cup, wouldn’t that suddenly become difficult?]
[It would be difficult…… actually, it wouldn’t fit at all as it is.]
[Exactly. So Tiana-san and Electrone-san compress that “soccer ball” down to a size that can fit into the cup. But if they make a mistake in adjusting the size, there’s a risk of breaking the cup, so smaller worlds require a lot more care…… Well, compressing one’s existence in the first place is already a difficult method, so it’s not something I’d recommend. Even a slight error can cause major differences……]
[……From the way you put it, does that mean you use a different method, Canalis?]
After hearing Canalis-san’s explanation, Tiana-san tilted her head slightly. Indeed, from her tone, it almost sounded like she didn’t consider Tiana-san and Electrone-san’s method to be ideal.
[I partition and put away part of my existence, so my current scale is no different from that of an ordinary person in this world. I’m a very slim and energy-efficient god. Honestly, this method is the easiest. By partitioning and putting away the trivial stuff, and then drawing them out when needed, I can keep my existence scale low while still using my god power normally…… though that’s a different story if I go all out.]
[Partition…… Put away…… A- Ahhh!? So that’s it! You’re storing most of your power in another dimension, and using only the “output”…… the gateway where it comes out to construct your body. Then when you need it, you just draw out the necessary amount!]
『Outputting understanding…… <I- I see…… that would indeed allow the existence scale to become extremely small>…… I’m impressed.』
The scale of the discussion was far too grand for me to fully grasp, but for Tiana-san and Electrone-san, it seemed to be a revelation-level technique, they were clearly impressed.
[I’ll teach you some tips later on how to partition yourself properly. With that, I think both Tiana and Electrone will be able to do the same thing right away. Also, when you’re making something to give to someone other than Kaito-sama, it’s quickest to just do a quick check with omniscience.]
[That level of experience is truly as expected. From now on, it might be a good idea for Canalis-san to give advice beforehand to those who come to visit for the purpose of greeting our lord.]
Since she had originally traveled across various worlds, Canalis-san likely possessed all sorts of tricks and techniques for dealing with differences in world size and levels of civilization. If she were to guide them at least once, it would certainly make things much more reassuring when it comes to the Gods who would visit in the future.

Absolute : [While I’m at it, I also put in some light countermeasures against the stomachaches caused by the World Creators scheduled to visit in the future.]
