READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 148 – Big Project.
A few minutes passed, and God was already feeling bored. He sat in bed and started swinging his legs because of his anxiety; he couldn't wait anymore.
"Damn, I must find that guy and solve this problem!" God said impatiently. He washed his face and then headed toward the suspicious room from before.
Knock, knock, knock.
He knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. God could still feel the magic from before, but it was a little weaker now. He continued to knock on the door.
God knocked on the door so many times that the guest in the next room got angry with him.
"Stop knocking on that door; I'm trying to sleep here! Idiot!" That's what he yelled from inside his room. Right after that happened, the receptionist came up the stairs with a serious expression.
"I'm sorry." God didn't even wait for her to say anything before apologizing. Even then, he received a scolding. After, he went downstairs and to the bar to get something to eat.
God hoped that his target would show up. However, he didn't show up even after two hours. Nobody entered or left the suspicious room during this period.
And about the map: The red dot was still in the same place, which confused God.
'I feel his magic inside that room. But why doesn't he appear? Is it a bait? Was I foolish enough to be lured here by a bait?' God felt his face get hot.
He almost threw the bar table up in the air. The surrounding guests looked frightened. God didn't know if he had been tricked, but thinking about the possibility made him very angry.
And now that he had reached his limit, he couldn't wait any longer. He ran upstairs, and when he arrived in the room where he could sense his target's magic, he opened the door quickly using magic.
"You've got to be kidding me. I have been tricked." In the middle of the room, a dummy had been placed sitting on a chair. It was a life-size doll of the man he was looking for.
The dummy was very well made.
Long gray hair and a long beard with a bow tied on the end. His body was thin and frail. His expression was light, the expression of an old man who had lived for thousands of years and no longer cared about anything.
"He put his magic into this dummy to lure me here. He knew that I would use this method to find him. And how could he get rid of my detection? Did he hide his 'presence' somehow?"
God, annoyed, kicked the dummy and knocked it over. And right after, a voice emerges from the dummy.
[ You found me. ]
"You... I can't believe you could fool me like that. I should have known."
[ You're smart, you should have known I had already seen this coming ]
"So, are you around or hiding in some hole as usual?"
[ I am nearby. I'll give you my location so we can talk. ]
"If you already intended to talk to me, why do that? This dummy looks exactly like you; it's giving me the creeps."
[ Well, I just wanted to have some fun. Now come so we can talk. I don't want to cause a mess in this town, so please don't do anything stupid. ]
"I promise I won't attack you as soon as I meet you."
[ That's great. Now come over so we can settle this. ]
"You'll have to give me a good reason for meddling in my life like this. Especially after what you've done."
[ ... ]
The dummy was silent. After that, a strange bird flew in through the bedroom window with a map tied to its paw. "So he's going to make me look for him using a map? That gets on my nerves."
God closed the bedroom door and left the inn extremely annoyed.
'Does he think this is a joke? He's getting in the way of one of my big projects!'

"Lili, how are you feeling?" Lili was lying on the couch, apparently feeling a little sick. Pregnant women could feel sick during pregnancy, so it was understandable.
And now that she is feeling these symptoms, we are sure she is pregnant.
That's why she told me about the pregnancy. She has been feeling this nausea for some time now. I hadn't even noticed... I am a terrible "husband."
"I'm feeling better."
"Okay. I'll be here for whatever you need." Lili sat up, and I sat down next to her. I then asked her to lay her head on my lap to rest for a while. Then she lay down again.
"Thank you, Luan."
"No need to thank me, it's the least I can do. I feel bad that I didn't realize you were going through this."
"There was no way you could have known since I hid it well."
"... What about the others? Did they ask you about it?"
"The Goddess seemed a little worried, but I just told her that I had eaten something bad and had a pain in my stomach."
"Do you think she believed that?"
"Probably. But Jessica, on the other hand... I think she suspects something."
"She already knows about our relationship and probably knows you are pregnant. Her intuition is scary."
"Really? I didn't think she was so perceptive."
"You have no idea..." I giggled and placed my hand on Lili's forehead. Her face turned red, and we stared at each other for a while. After a few seconds, Lili turned her face away.
Suddenly, her expression became strange, and she threw up on the room floor.
"Don't tell me you were holding back all this time? Please go to the bathroom as soon as possible!"
