Have you ever heard of a game called “Hide and Seek”?

A Game with two dictating roles. One is of a ‘child’ who hides in their favorite place while another being; a ‘demon’ who finds this child. It is a simple and easy to understand game. A game which anyone must have experienced at least once in their life.

 

Oh yes, right,

In this world, there are countless gods who tend to compete with humans in games such as these.

 

Let me give you an example–

This tale, which has been passed down from ancient times.

An amusing tale of a clumsy dragon god, who was hiding under the seas while playing hide and seek, inadvertently slept and let 3000 years pass by…

 

Perhaps, this story found its beginning after the awakening of the Dragon God.

 

 

Here in the great cold waves of the north, “Reais-Belt”

An unexplored region covered in ice, never known to have melted in the known history. There stood a rugged ice wall, as tall as a mountain, blocking the path of any crossing adventurers.

 

In this area, there’s an expedition team working in this snowstorm, working on making a way through the ice wall, when suddenly one of them shouted with an astonishing voice.

“It came out! But… it’s not a fossil?”

 

“That … even though it should be at the same time as the ice age!?”

 

A huge ice block is cut out from the ice wall.

It was not a fossil of a dinosaur or mammoth that they found.

 

“A Human… , and that too, a girl?!”

“Hurry and contact the Mysterious Court. Yes, the headquarters!”

“… What do you mean? Why are Homo Sapiens coming out from the fossils of the ice age era?!”

 

What came out of the Excavation was a human.

That too, a girl who has the characteristics of a teenager.

 

“… Is she a human being from the time of the ancient magical civilization?”

“This isn’t a joke, how is a human even able to keep their physiological properties in this temperature of ‘-46°C’?! Also, to top it off, being preserved for an staggering 3000+ years at that! Even Mammoths are fossilized when kept for this long.”

 

“…………Captain…… is this child still alive?”

 

 

The girl was beautiful.

Her vermillion hair appeared as if it was dancing like a bright burning flame, swayed by the wind.

While,

Her adorable eyes had the same look as of a modern girl and her red rude vermillion cheeks speak as if she were still alive.

The naked body still had some threads of clothing present.

 

 

Looking at her naked body; It appeared delicate, you could actually see the undulated girly curves tracing her body.

 

Perhaps she had originally worn clothes, but after an outstanding 3,000 years, the exposure to this extreme cold, must have tattered and frayed the fibers of her clothes.

 

“She’s alive, mate……or so it appears to me……”.

“Are you sane?! I repeat myself; this is the place that was hit by the waves of the ice age! Without a special suit to defend themselves with, one is bound to freeze to death within 30 seconds!”

 

“Uwaaaaa”

The captain and his subordinates were taken aback by the unexpected event which took place.

They witnessed as the girl with vermillion hair opened her eyes and raised her upper body vigorously.

She then proceeded to sit down cross-legged and looked closely at the five members of the evacuation team.

 

“…Ah crap, I’ve done it again?!… has it been a thousand? No… perhaps two thousand years? AW COME ON! Did I accidentally fall asleep…again?!”.

 

Thought waves.

A technique used by the Gods to communicate with humans. The girl seems to be using this technique to directly speak into the heads of the excavation team.

 

“ I can’t quite tell how many years have passed by. Nevertheless, the language system must have changed right? Anyways, you all can understand me right?”

 

“Don’t tell me!?”

“Captain…… Did that girl in front of us, just!? ――”

“Yes, yes, I’m the one who just spoke… Oh, by the way, you can talk normally. It will be automatically deciphered by the thought transfer telepathy anyways.”

 

She stood up as she spoke and started brushing away the snow which had accumulated on her shoulders and her hair.

 

Even in the snowstorm, in this frigid temperature, she’s completely unfazed, relaxed; standing without any trouble.

 

“Fu~ah~ I see, hiding on the seabed while playing hide and seek was a complete mistake. I thought it was a novel and wonderful idea, but never had I thought of the possibilities of the ice age to come by as I hid in there… and fell asleep…”

 

“You… who are you?”

The captain in his protective winter clothing went ahead and asked her with trembling legs.

 

“I’m Mistral, the captain of the Unexplored Area Exploration Team, belonging to the Ruin Branch of the Mysterious Court. I found you during the excavation and thus brought you out… and rescued you. What are you intending to do?”

 

“Me? Ahh, I’m just a ‘former’ God”.

 

 

As her vermillion hair fluttered in the snowstorm, the girl claimed herself to be a God.

 

“Well… forget all of that. Rather, let’s play!”

“…What?”

“What else? Games! Game battles with Gods! Shouldn’t there be many in this era too?”

 

“Kufufufu”

The girl laughs merrily and spreads her hands as if saying, ‘I can’t wait!’

 

“For the time being, come at me!” [TN: She’s addressing this line towards the world]

 

“Bring me the best person in this Era. The person who’s the best at playing games!”.

 

The girl claiming to be a God smiled merrily and declared this unto the whole world of the present era.
