“Makoto-san…please hear out.” (Anna)
Anna had closed onto to a distance that her breath could reach .
I could feel sothing abnormal from that face at her wit’s end.
“What’s the matter, Anna-san?” (Makoto)
My most important mission is Hero Abel.
I wasn’t worried because we were training safely in the Sun Temple, but maybe there was an actual problem occurring?
I held my necklace lightly.
(…Ira-sama, can you hear ?) (Makoto)
(I can. It looks like a problem has happened with Hero Abel.) (Ira)
(I will listen to the problem. Please let consult with you.) (Makoto)
(Leave it to .) (Ira)
As expected of a Goddess.
So reliable.
“You won’t be coming back for a while after going to the Deep Sea Temple, right?” (Anna)
Anna-san speaks.
“I will be returning every now and then. It seems like Momo can function better by drinking my blood after all.” (Makoto)
“…For the sake of Momo-chan?” (Anna)
“?”
What does she an by that?
“Are you…not worried about ?” (Anna)
“Uhm…” (Makoto)
“You will be leaving this place while you are in the Deep Sea Temple. Are you not going to worry about …?” (Anna)
“O-Of course, Abel-san as well.” (Makoto)
“Anna.”
“I will also worry about Anna-san too.” (Makoto)
“Then, please bring with you!” (Anna)
“T-That’s…I can’t.” (Makoto)
I am going with Demon Lord Cain after all.
I definitely can’t bring her with .
“Why…? You don’t care about ?” (Anna)
“…”
Help! SOS! SOS!
Ira-sama!
(Hey, Takatsuki Makoto…) (Ira)
Yes, Ira-sama.
What should I do?!
(Hug her and might as well add a kiss too.) (Ira)
…Huh?
(It seems like Anna-chan’s ntal state is a bit unstable, so comfort her.) (Ira)
Hero Abel is a man, you know?
(She is a woman right now. Don’t worry about the small details.) (Ira)
I-Is it really a small detail…?
Also, Anna-san looks just like Princess Noel, so I feel a bit against the idea because of this too…
But if Hero Abel really is in an unstable ntal state, I do have to do sothing.
“Anna-san.” (Makoto)
“Y-Yes…?” (Anna)
I held her hand with both hands.
“Let’s rest well for today and train together tomorrow. If we train your Light Hero Skill, sothing like Demon Lords will be easy-peasy.” (Makoto)
“R-Really…?” (Anna)
Sakurai-kun defeated the Beast King in one hit after all.
(Takatsuki Makoto…the Light Hero Skill of 1,000 years in the future has been improved by Althena-sama. Don’t think of it as the sa thing.) (Ira)
Eh?
The one of Sakurai-kun is stronger?
(Of course the latest version is better.) (Ira)
N-No way…
The Light Hero Skill of Hero Abel is the old version…
“Is sothing wrong, Makoto-san?” (Anna)
Holy Maiden Anna peeked at my face cause I had frozen there.
“It is nothing. Now, let’s rest for today.” (Makoto)
“I woke up just now though.” (Anna)
“It is fine, it is fine.” (Makoto)
“Eh, wa, Makoto-san? Uhm…there’s no need to push so much…” (Anna)
I push Anna-san to her bed, and I lay down on the bed beside it.
I look at the ceiling while thinking about the training of tomorrow.
I couldn’t think of any good ideas.
◇◇
The next day, it was decided that I will be training with Hero Abel.
I say that, but I don’t know about Hero Skills, so I am going blind here.
My point of reference is Sakurai Ryosuke-kun who has the Light Hero Skill too in the future.
My childhood friend.
But I have only fought together with him 2 tis.
One ti it was in Laberintos with the Taboo Dragons.
The second one was with Beast King Zagan.
I bring back the mories of those tis.
(Even so, both tis were one hit kills though…) (Makoto)
They are not mories that serve as much of a fra of reference.
What I can tell is that sunlight is important.
It should be a Skill that doesn’t show much power when inside a cave or below the Pitch Black Clouds.
“Abel-sa—” (Makoto)
“Anna.”
“Anna-san.” (Makoto)
“Yes!” (Anna)
I look at the Holy Maiden Anna who is taking a stance with her sword.
“Can you change the light of the sun into mana?” (Makoto)
“Uhm…I will try.” (Anna)
Anna-san holds her sword tightly with a complicated expression and goes ‘muuh~’.
*Zuzuzu* …A massive amount of mana began to gather, and the blade of the sword began to release light.
“What is going on?” (l)
“Enemy attack?!” (Momo)
The White Dragon-san and the Great Sage-sama ca here.
“How is it, Makoto-san?!” (Anna)
“Hmmm…” (Makoto)
I checked the state of Anna-san, who is showing the sword that is releasing radiant light, with a hand on my chin and thought.
“That’s outstanding mana. An Ancient Dragon would fall in one hit if it were cut by this magic sword.” (l)
“Anna-san’s sword is scary…” (Momo)
Judging from the faces of l-san and Momo, the magic sword in the hands of Anna-san is quite the thing.
But…
“It isn’t rainbow colored…” (Makoto)
At the ti when Hero Abel cut Demon Lord Cain, it was shining rainbow.
If I rember correctly, it was the sa when Sakurai-kun defeated Demon Lord Zagan.
“Spirit User-kun, magic that shines in rainbow color…the All Elent Magic is the realm of Gods, you know?” (l)
“Yeah, I know… The Light Hero Skill alone can manage to do that.” (Makoto)
“Uhm…I don’t know about that. Why do you know more than about it, Makoto-san?” (Anna)
‘Because Althena-sama told ’, is what I answer half-heartedly, and fall in thought.
At that ti, Sakurai-kun was…
“Anna-san, can you summon an angel?” (Makoto)
When Sakurai-kun defeated Demon Lord Zagan, he borrowed the strength of an angel.
Shouldn’t we begin from there?
“““Huh?”””
But the other 3 opened their eyes wide at my proposal.
I don’t think I said sothing weird here though.
It should be easier than borrowing the strength of a Goddess, right?
More so when…
“I can call Angels by asking the Water Goddess, you know?” (Makoto)
At the ti when I took out my sacred treasure and was about to activate the Sacrificial Technique…
“You idiot! Stop it, Spirit User-kun! Don’t use that blasphemous spell so lightly! What will you do if we are attacked?!” (l)
“Eeh…I will offer a sheep around, so it is safe.” (Makoto)
“How blasphemous!” (l)
She scolded .
I wanted to show Abe—Anna-san the actual thing though.
“You can summon Angels, Makoto-san?!” (Anna)
“That’s not it, Hero-kun. What he was about to do was a Sacrificial Technique. A heretical technique that takes the life of another to fulfill their own desire. You normally need to have a sacred treasure and a God Rank magic circle or it would take your own life though…” (l)
“A Goddess (Noah-sama) made this dagger, and a Goddess (Eir-sama) enchanted it with the magic circle.” (Makoto)
“Why do you have such a treasure of mythological tis on your possession, Spirit User-kun?!” (l)
The White Dragon-san was amazed by this.
Looks like using a Sacrificial Technique lightly is not normal.
Well, it is a technique that Eir-sama told to use as a trump card.
I should stop using it nonchalantly.
But what to do then…?
(Pray. Anna is an Oracle, so it definitely will reach Althena-oneesama.) (Ira)
The voice of Ira-sama reached my ears.
(It seems like there’s no response even when she prays though?) (Makoto)
(This is troubling… She probably has her hands full with other matters… She is in charge of the whole solar system after all…) (Ira)
(I-Isn’t her range of duty a bit too wide? By the way, what about you, Ira-sama?) (Makoto)
(I am in charge of…only this continent.) (Ira)
It is completely different!
I could tell here that even when they are Goddesses, there’s a difference in their powers.
…Noah-sama is supposedly on the sa level as Althena-sama?
Isn’t she quite the dangerous Goddess then?
(That’s what I told you; I can’t deal with Noah. And so, look properly after Anna-chan who is the crux of this matter, okay?) (Ira)
(Got it, Ira-sama.) (Makoto)
I nodded at Ira-sama.
“Anna-san continue your training with the magic sword made with the sunlight, and continue praying to Althena-sama. Your voice should be reaching.” (Makoto)
“Makoto-san… Got it.” (Anna)
Anna-san obediently nods to what I say.
Now that I think about it, when I was training in magic with Lucy at Makkaren, it was sothing like this.
They have strong Skills, but they can’t master them.
Lucy would ss up her magic frequently, but it doesn’t happen with Anna-san which makes things easier.
(Let’s take it slow…) (Makoto)
There’s no point in hurrying.
A few days after that…
I would train with Anna-san and check the progress of Momo’s magic…
And so…it is now finally the day before the promised day with Demon Lord Cain.
I asked the White Dragon-san to give a ride for the going and the return.
“Then, I will be going.” (Makoto)
“Master~, co back quickly, okay?” (Momo)
“Take care, Makoto-san.” (Anna)
I was seen off by the Great Sage-sama and Anna-san…and head to clear the Deep Sea Temple.
