Outside the MgRonald’s restaurant, Kyle was looking at his surroundings, checking for any unnecessary presence that may hinder the ensuing conversation, confirming that there wasn’t any presence nearby he was able to finally be rest assured. This explanation was only for Maou to hear.

Kyle wasn’t a cultivator from chinese fantasy novels. He didn’t have Bulshit powers like Divine Sense. Even though he was a Minor God already he still didn’t have the Bulshit awareness skill the cultivators had. Important things should be said thrice, the cultivators were bulshit. Now, he did have a feeling, a fleeting thought, that he may be able to use that shit if he became a High God or someone in that position. ​​

“So… Kyle tell me, just who are you? What are you? How did you even gain this divine semblance that you didn’t even have this morning?” Sadao’s inquiries started abruptly, agitation and expectations clearly oozing from his tone, Sadao couldn’t wait anymore, he was damn curious about the method Kyle had earned Godhood, after all if he could decipher it he might find a way to regain his magical powers, he may again be able to travel back to his world or do something more…

“Who am I? I’m Kobayashi Kyle! A delivery guy from the MgRonald’s restaurant. What am I? Well, apparently ‘now’ a Minor God.” Kyle’s sarcastic tone entered Sadao’s ears, his expression was deadpan as he looked at Kyle without any emotions, clearly not in the mood to joke, Kyle chuckled at Sadao’s expense not caring at all about his deadpanned eyes, he did continue to answer however.

“Alright, alright. I’ll explain it seriously now, geez. I just wanted to lighten this tense atmosphere that we’re having here… to summarize, someone had the misunderstanding of thinking that I was a legitimate God, since I helped them for free, to show their gratitude and faith they made a religious cult, making me its head, its dedicated God, aventura later the cult transformed into a religion over the years, and the culmination of faith from the multitudes of followers gathered in that century resulted in forming a divinity and granting it to me the one who had their faith directed towards. Hence, the result is before your eyes, me, a genuine Minor God.”

“Wait, wait… I’m so confused.. for starters how old are you…?”

“I’m a bonafide 18 year world.”

“Huh?! Are you joking?”

“No I’m Kyle. Kobayashi… Kyle…”

“No…sigh* be serious here please! You know what I mean!” Sadao gave an irritated growl, he was reaching the limits of his patience.

Kyle was again using Sadao as his source of amusement. He couldn’t help it really, Sadao’s expressions were too funny. Nevertheless, he also knew his limits and stopped reading him. “It’s because I travelled to the past, that’s how all of this transpired.”

The answer was vague, Sadao had difficulty in fully believing him, the continuous jokes didn’t help regarding this matter. “For real?”

“Yeah, for real okay since you asked me something… it’s time for me to ask you something in return… now tell me, Maou Sadao, who are you? Not the you now, the you from before.” Kyle knew of Maou’s identity. But this was a necessary step, he couldn’t divulge his knowledge of him otherwise Maou would become vigilant of his existence. This was also to establish trust between them, to let him know and believe that it was he himself who had informed Kyle about his identity, rather than Kyle already being aware of it.

Sadao became surprised, then cautious, doubts started to appear about Kyle again, questions of why he was so sure of him being someone else before started appearing in Maou’s mind. “How could you be so sure that I had another identity?”

Kyle smirked, his response was one of no hesitation as he answered him straightforwardly. “Because, I sensed you trying to use magic when the frying machine broke.”

Kyle’s response was enough to calm Maou of his cautiousness, he realized that he had messed up. Never did he believe that someone would notice him trying to use magic, it was his mistake and he got caught because of it.

Obviously Kyle had lied about sensing his magic, what a joke he could sense shit, his magical knowledge was non-existent. He took a gamble, a leap of faith to try and see if he could lie his way out of it, the results didn’t let him down. ‘That was a close call! Good thing that part already happened, I have to thank my previous life’s memory for this, now that I think about it, the memories I seemed to have forgot or were vague are returning and becoming more vivid… is this another perk of becoming a Minor God?’

He also had to thank fate that the plot didn’t change much because of his existence, it was actually plausible since the original plot hadn’t started yet and he didn’t have a active part in the anime plotline from the start. He was just a delivery boy, a co-worker of the original MC and except for Maou and Chiho he hadn’t even met the rest of the characters anyways. So, he didn’t have much chance to influence the plot even unknowingly. Nevertheless, he had no doubt in his mind that him not influencing the plot would change from this moment on, since he had used this excuse he had already changed the entire plotline of The Devil is A Part-Timer with his direct meddling.

Sadao scratched his head awkwardly, letting out hollow, awkward and embarrassed laughs, he had fucked up and he knew it. “Ahahaha…. so that’s the reason.. damn it’s completely my fault I didn’t think that anyone would notice it.. sigh* anyway, since you already saw me using magic and since you’ve already answered my, more than a little bit personal, questions, I’ll tell you about my other identity, real identity in fact… Whew~* actually I’m a Demon King from another world.”

Sadao thought of many possibilities how revealing this information would turn out, shock, disbelief, fear, hatred, rage he had registered all the possibilities he could think of and had a counter to them ready at his disposal. Kyle’s reactions would be the baseline for their future interactions. He believed Kyle, knew that he was a good guy or had a inkling to it, but his identity was sensitive and a thing of major controversy even in this world so he had to ready for any and all of Kyle’s reactions. Sadly all his preparations went down the drain as he was rewarded with an indifferent Kyle, no change in his expression as if he had just heard the obvious. Maou was flabbergasted. “You’re not surprised?”

“Oh? Yes, yes, I’m very surprised! Wow!!!! I didn’t think that you were a Demon King!” Kyle exaggerated in a dry tone, his words humorous and moching. It was evident that Kyle was being sarcastic.

Veins popped out from Sadao’s forehead. he was irked, but he could only smile wryly. He understood that Kyle wasn’t surprised, it was more like he had answered the inevitable. The gods of this world were really weird Sadao thought. “Whatever man… so anyway how did you appear in the past anyway?”

“That… is a secret.” Kyle winked and slowly went inside the MgRonald’s, Maou registered his last fleeting words, however.

“But since I trust you, I’ll tell you part of it… Spatiotemporal Magic.” Kyle was already gone by the time Maou processed his answer and Maou couldn’t hid the shock on his facial expressions.

He shouted. “Wait what?! That was you?!”

The mystery that had been plaguing Maou’s mind had been solved. Again never did he dare to imagine the source of magic he was painstakingly searching for the past 2 weeks was actually from his co-worker.

He and Alciel, his general, had been painstakingly investigating this instance for so long, yet the culprit was all along under his nose chatting with him happily, his depression was immeasurable. A self deprecating, self mocking laugh graced his lips. “Haha… damn this was really unexpected..”

..

Kyle’s shift was over, he was now driving his motorcycle, his destination, the mansion, his mansion. Few minutes of high speed driving ensued and he had reached home.

He left his motorcycle on the outside and stared at his house, his face adorned a complicated, conflicted expression. The reason being the dragon of chaos living inside of his home. He was certain that Tohru would definitely see through his change. If Sadao, a severely weakened Demon King was able to completely identify his ‘Divinity’ in a single glance, then Tohru not even need a glance to see through him. Tohru was far stronger than the low-key Demon King and her senses were one of the best in all of anime history. Certainly she might’ve already noticed a Minor God was in front of her doorsteps and waiting to confirm his identity.

He took a deep breath, preparing mentally for everything to come, few moments later he stepped inside the gate of his house, unexpectedly he wasn’t able to enter.

Kyle couldn’t get in, no matter what he did! No matter how hard he tried a repulsion force was always working against him locking his foot in place.

“What the hell? Why can’t I get inside?” Hundreds of thoughts ran through his mind as he tried to find a solution to this problem, and then it hit it.

Kyle activated Spiritual Eye. As expected, what greeted his sight was the same complicated barrier he had seen on his aunt’s apartment.

Only Tohru was capable of making this barrier. And the runes confirmed that this was her handi work. That damn Chaos Dragon didn’t even inform him before putting up a barrier, she should’ve asked permission… though he had to admit that having a barrier felt really good… then again why wasn’t she letting him in?! That was unlike Tohru to do that!

Was she mad at him, did he unknowingly hurt her. That shouldn’t be the case, he didn’t remember doing anything to hurt her, with how much he adored her it just wasn’t possible.. there should be something else in olay… something… oh!

The answer was clear from the start. ‘Divinity!’ The barrier probably couldn’t recognize him because Tohru had obviously categorized him as a mortal… she might’ve set a function let only mortals or them to enter and had used his mortal energy signature… but now that he was a God.. his presence and aura had changed drastically.. this wasn’t good..

Oh no, he felt that a huge misunderstanding was in the making… and he was damn right…

A large roar echoed out from his mansion, a humongous sized spatial opening opened in front of him to slowly reveal a humongous green tinted chaos dragon exiting the opening and in a few seconds its full form entered Kyle’s sight.

The dragon was obviously Tohru herself in her main body.

Tohru’s furious words reverberated in his ears making him go dizzy. “How dare a mere Minor God dare to treaspass in my territory! Do you have a death wish?!”

Kyle sweated, he started sweating profusely, in her anger and bias towards Gods Tohru had failed to notice it was Kyle, he responded as hastily as he could, his tone was desperate. “No, no Tohru! It’s me Kyle and why would I treaspass in my own mansion!”

Tohru stopped recognizing the voice, it was the same voice of the person she desired for day and night. Her tone was of absolute which as she stutteringly responded. “K-kyle?! You… how? How did you become a God?!”

Kyle could only smile wryly in answer, this was turning out to be an awful lot like his previous encounter with Sadao. Guess he would need to explain his story again. He felt tired already.
