Its been over 3 months since the last translator updated, so I'm going to pick this up and try my best at translating.
(EDIT: If you are confused about where chapters 1-22 went, it is on another translator's site. I'm unable to put the link here, but there are 2 options:
- go on google and search "Transfer Over Capacity NovelUpdates"
- click my website link in my profile and click Over Capacity on the menu which will contain a direct link to those chapters)

After leaving [Yadoriki-tei], we walked around the city for a while.
"Oh—!"
I couldn't see much yesterday, but there were several shops on both sides of the road. There were also shops selling vegetables and shops like weapons and general stores.
"It's nice here, but there are more shops in the center. I'll take you after we go to the church."
Gil said, so we left for now. But I want to see it soon!
After walking along the road for a while, I saw a building that looked like a church.
"This is the church"
"Oh..."
There was a building with a pure white appearance. Is it because it's made of marble?
<The construction material of this building is made of stone called [Cuberone]. This stone is mined from the mountains and has the effect of strengthening the connection with the divine world. >
It's made of an amazing material... the connection with the god world ...
<Simply put, it makes it easier for God to interfere from the divine world.>
I see, this was mentioned.
"Oi, are you going in?"
Oops, I was a little too focused on the conversation with Haku.
"Yes. What about Gil-san and the others?"
"We will wait outside, so you can take your time praying."
"Ok, thank you!"
Upon entering, I saw chaise longues lined up on both sides of the hall and light shining through the stained glass windows.
"Beautiful ..."
I proceeded while looking around and saw four stone statues lined up at the back of the church.
"Is this ... Grandria?"
A stone statue that seems to be Grandria stood on the far right. It's so accurate!!! I swear he looked exactly like that!
"And this is ... another god?"
In addition to Grandria, there were three other stone statues.
<Starting from your right, its Grandria, Airlies, Oceanids, and finally Ishworm in order.>
Hoho. The gods are on the outer side while the two goddesses are sandwiched between them.
<It is as Marina-sama thinks>
I knew it. Grandria-sama is a god because I met him, and Ishworm-sama is ... well, he's macho. As for Airlies and Oceanids ... un. It's obvious. On the contrary, it would be strange if they weren't a goddess. Um, please excuse me?
"By the way, what should I do?"
<You should just pray normally. They'll show you in from there.>
Pray normally... Well, it's different from a shrine, but should I just put my hands together?
I sat in a nearby chair, put my hands together, closed my eyes, and just thought about wanting to see the gods. Then, my consciousness was suddenly far away. It's a strange feeling. When I opened my eyes...
"I'm sorry!!"
In front of me was Grandria who was in a dogeza on the ground. I mean, it was like this when I met him last time ... I knew that last time was for apologising about me being left behind, but this time I don't know the reason at all.
"Wait a second, what happened?"
"Actually ... No, we shouldn't talk here. Let's change to a more suitable environment."
Grandria stood up and lifted his finger. Then, the white space we were in changed in an instant and became a meadow. The light breeze felt nice and even the sun was out. I don't really know what happened, but I'm more convinced that this is the divine world.
"Originally I wanted to talk a little more in the church, but there were some problems ..."
I turned to him as he said that. Maybe it's something important?
"When I went to the church, I noticed the presence of other gods."
"What's the problem with that?"
You have to go to the divine world first so they're out of luck, right?
"There is a possibility that another god will push to meet you..."
So that's how it is!
"But it seems ok to meet them."
"If you do just be aware that it may be unpredictable."
If Grandria says so ... I wonder if the other gods are dangerous?
"... I see. So why did you apologize?"
Yes, I want to hear that. Honestly, it's a pain if you do a dogeza on the ground every time we meet.
"That's ... it's also related to the garbled characters in Marina's status."
Grandria said while laying on a goza mat on the ground. Where did that come from?
"Let's sit down and talk for the time being."
"I agree"
I sit next to Grandria.
"To be honest ... I don't even know much about your garbled characters."
...Hmm?
"What do you mean?"
"I know the cause of the garbled characters, but I don't know what they represent."
" I-- I see ..."
I wanted to know what the garbled text meant, but now ...
"Then what is the cause of the garbled characters?"
I want to know that.
"Yes ... I only reported to the God from Earth that you had been left behind, but he said that he wanted to give you a blessing as an apology. I couldn't refuse the offer, so I agreed."
No, what about my permission?!! I'm glad to receive a blessing, but...
Unable to hear the cry of my heart, Grandria continued to explain.
"But the thing is, there are quite a large amount of gods where you came from..."
That's true. Earth is said to have 8 million gods and goddesses.
"So all the gods there gave you blessings..."
... Isn't that bad? You mean the blessing of 8 million gods, right?
"As a result, I lost track of Marina-sama's race."
That's what happens when you get that many blessings?!
"I see ... that's why my physical strength is ..."
"There is that, but that's partly from the original race prepared for you.."
...Un?
"My original race?"
"Yes. Marina's race is [Shinryu]." => [神龍] means "divine dragon"
"What?"
Shinryu? Shinryu?!
"Ummm-- eh ?!"
Isn't that a dragon?!!
"Because it was the highest ranking being we can make you out of the rest of the existing ones."
No, I'm happy it wasn't number one!
"But it's possible that it's higher than that because you received blessings from so many gods."
Yeah, I don't want to hear it anymore!
"... So can I become a dragon?"
"You should be able to, but I don't know now."
It's decided! I'll neeeever turn into a dragon at all! I don't even know what I'll look like! That's scary!
"So, the garbled title is a blessing from the gods on Earth. There was so much that I was wondering how to put it in your status. Now you should be able to see it. Please try it."
"Can't you see it now?"
"Only your spirit is here, so I can't see it."
Ah, I remember a weird feeling before I came here, so that's my spirit leaving me.
"Because you are a [Shinryu], you could have come with the main body ..."
Un. If I suddenly disappear from the church, it's going to be a big deal. That's probably why only my spirit came to this space.
"Thank you for your concern."
"No, compared to the inconvenience caused to Marina-san ..."
Well, that's also the case.
"And the navigator... it's Haku right now. I didn't explain anything about this world to you, so I created it."
"Thank you very much!"
Who knew what could've happened to me without him...
"That's good to know. Oops, it's already time to part."
"Time?"
"This divine world has a different flow of time from reality. One hour here is about one second over there. That's what strains the body when it's just the mind."
I see. Well it's a divine world alright.
"Then I'm going home. Thank you, Grandria-sama."
When I said that, Grandria suddenly made a melancholic face. Why?
"That ... can you call me? ... Pa, Papa ..."
Oh, by the way, you did say that before... but I can't imagine for a second that you would be sad because of that.
"Hmm ... Then Grandpa"
I thought it would be weird if it was papa, so I called him Grandpa.
Grandria's face immediately brightened up.
"Thank you! You can come anytime!"
"Y-- Yes!"
Then, I left the divine world.
*
"... Fuuu. What should I say to those three ..."
After Marina left, Grandria sighed. The "three" he was referring to were the other 3 gods and goddesses. Warning Marina of the "danger" of meeting other gods was just a way for Grandria to keep her to himself ... he wanted to be the only one to be called Grandpa. That's why he didn't want her to be noticed by the other gods.
Afterwards, one may or may not be able to hear Grandria's screams reverberating through the divine world.

I will try to release c24 by Saturday. So my schedule is 2 chapters a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Sorry if this pace is slow, but it's the best I can do most of the time while juggling my real life responsibilities (and keeping my sanity). Also, my idiot self may or may not have forgotten to include the last sentence of this chapter. I fixed it already.
