Chapter 87: Magical Girl Mascot's Origin?
After Seraphina kissed Linsley, he prepared their breakfast and ate with her in the dining room.
While they were having breakfast, Linsley recounted his experiences to Seraphina. He told her about his identity as an Avatar Master and even revealed that his abilities were from another world.
However, he never mentioned anything about the God Simulator System. He only alluded to making a pact with an unknown god from another multiverse.
Anyway, Linsley had read a lot of novels in his past life, so he easily made up a lot of things that seemed to be true. At least, Seraphina didn't find it unusual or, more like, she really didn't care where Linsley got his powers since she knew that he was a nice person.
What mattered was that they were both on the same side and were planning to overthrow the Outer God and free humanity from the Outer God's enslavement.
After he mentioned his identity as an Avatar Master and the (false) origin of his power, Linsley finally decided to tell Seraphina about being the God of Invisible Providence after they finished eating breakfast.
After all, revealing his identity as an Avatar Master and as a Median True God were two different matters. The former was much more casual, while the latter was a major topic that concerned how he and Seraphina would start their plans against the Outer God and the Outer God Association.
Soon enough, Linsley and Seraphina finished eating their breakfast, and Linsley took care of the dishes as his invisible force brought them to the kitchen and washed them in the sink while invisible hands scrubbed and cleaned them.
'I have to admit, my invisible providence is very useful in everyday life. I can perform all chores with it since my range can cover the radius of a small star, let alone the entire villa.'
While Linsley was dealing with the household chores using his Invisible Providence Ascendence avatar, no longer having to hide it from Seraphina, he led her to the computer room to talk about matters regarding his status as a Median True God.
After they arrived in the computer room, Linsley asked Seraphina, "Aside from my identity as an Avatar Master, I haven't told you about the extent of my true power yet. However, I have one question. Do you trust that Flora, your magical girl mascot, isn't a trap placed by the Outer God?"
Linsley added, "From what I have watched in multiple magical girl animes and other fictional works, those magical girl mascots are a huge trap. They mostly conspire against the magical girls and use them for some unknown evil goal."
"For example, they might want to collect the hope of magical girls as well as their despair when the magical girls are tortured by the Outer God lackeys."
Hearing Linsley's conspiracy theories regarding the mascots of magical girls, Seraphina replied, "From what Flora told me, she and other magical girl mascots are fragments of the Will of the World."
"I am certain that Flora isn't lying to me. It has already been a year since I started my magical girl work, and it's thanks to Flora's contribution that I have made it this far."
In response to Seraphina's words, a small figure materialized in the air.
It was Flora, her magical girl mascot—a black and yellow-colored bee with a small, delicate flower blooming from its head, softly glowing.
Flora looked at Linsley and responded, "Like what Seraphina said, I am a fragment of the Will of the World. The World Will is currently recruiting blessed humans, and it would part a small fragment of its power to those blessed humans."
"If not for this restriction and the fact that the World Will had to recover its power, magical girls and mecha drivers would have long been mass-produced. However, the situation isn't looking optimistic as the number of Outer God lackeys is far greater than the resistance's."
Flora complained, "And besides, those magical girl animes you mentioned are just the imagination of those degenerate authors. The situation of humanity is already dire, and if not for the World Will's resistance to the Outer God's devouring, the whole world would have already been plunged into madness."

"At least, peace can still be kept on the surface even if every human is a slave of the Outer God in name. But if not for the resistance, Terra would have become a living hell."
"Anyway, it's up to you to trust me or not. No matter how I explain it, you won't believe me unless you meet the World Will itself. However, I can't let you meet the World Will, or else your life will be in danger."
"The World Will is currently suppressing the Outer God, or at least distracting it. Rather than the Outer God itself, the World Will is only suppressing the clone of the Outer God stationed in the Outer God Association."
"If the main body of the Outer God awakens from its slumber, then the whole world is doomed."
Hearing Flora's words, Linsley contemplated for a while before sighing, "Well, I have no choice but to trust you for now. At least, Seraphina being a magical girl under your care for a year now is not false."
"But if you dare harm Seraphina or plot against her, I'll make sure that you regret existing in this reality."
Flora nodded, "I'll never harm Seraphina. I've been with her for a year now, and I already treat her as my sister."
In the end, Linsley temporarily turned a blind eye to Flora's existence.
At least, he had no evidence that his conspiracies were real, and they were all based on his biases against magical girl mascots in his past life. However, although he couldn't deal with Flora, Linsley still planned to squeeze her value.
Out of curiosity, Linsley asked Flora, "If you aren't in cahoots with the Outer God, then tell me everything you and the World Will know. Or any valuable information you have, since I'm an ally of the resistance."
"How powerful is the Outer God?"
