Actually, I suddenly felt that this Dragon Girl with Facial Paralysis had been having terrible luck ever since earlier. Even if she did not feel it herself, I, as an observer, could barely stand to watch. Look, not only had she died twice in a row, but she had also inexplicably been knocked unconscious by a bolt of Divine Punishment lightning for a full ten minutes. The things she had gone through in the past half hour would have been more than enough for a tragic movie—one of those stories where someone died and came back to life over and over...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Dragon Girl with Facial Paralysis slowly opened her eyes for the third time. This scene was so similar to the previous two. Seeing the circle of heads in her line of sight, So Ya herself probably had some thoughts as well. She took a deep breath, and the first thing she said was, "...Was that a near-death experience?"
I froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that what the Dragon Girl with Facial Paralysis had experienced was simply too chaotic. She would rather imagine it as a near-death hallucination.
"No," I said with an awkward chuckle as I helped So Ya up, then pulled her dazed self into a chair. "You shouldn't have gotten so angry at the God of Time just now. You were knocked out by Divine Punishment."
"Divine Punishment?" So Ya frowned, seemingly only now recalling the details of what had happened before she passed out. Then she looked around at us with a complicated expression. "Right, you are gods... You really are gods?"
I scratched my head and muttered to Viska, "Why does someone ask us that every time?"
"Maybe our professional image still isn't convincing enough,"
