If I had to describe it, it would be a white wave—- no, a white wall.
The sight of a group of people dressed in pure white vestnts marching in a single, orderly stride is surely a stunning sight. The surroundings, which were supposed to be noisy a mont ago, were enveloped in frozen silence, and for these people that were about to pass through, the crowd split in two.
Following Lilia-san’s lead, we line up at the edge of the street, kneeling in a prayer position with her in the lead.
Looking around , this seems to be a custom here, and people who seem to be the head of each family were kneeling front of their group, while their attendants are in the back, and they are divided into the left and right positions while they pray.
Nearly half of the people here are nobles—– In other words, people who have a certain level of status in this country, but all of them are kneelings while hanging their heads.
In other words, that ans that no nobles can be disrespectful to the beings who are about to pass through here, and that’s the best proof that—– the Three Supre Gods are beings with such strong authority.
In the center of the people dressed in pure white vestnts, I could see the Goddess walking, holding a presence that a Goddess would definitely have.
Her long hair that’s unlike Lunamaria-san’s light blue, but a blue that’s as deep as the sea, was clasped behind her neck, and she had heterochromatic eyes of red and blue. She’s taller than the 170cm , with a tall, slender, well-proportioned model-like body, she gives a graceful and noble impression to those around her.
The way she walked with her long legs while she surrounded by the priests, it’s like this is a fashion show that was held just for that Goddess.
This is—– The Goddess of Ti.
The Goddess of Ti calmly walked along the path surrounded by the quiet prayers buried within the silence.
In this atmosphere that can even be called mysterious, with just the sound of footsteps smoothly resounding, the Goddess of Ti heads towards the temple—– but she stops on her way.
[……………….]
The surrounding priests also stopped in unison, and while the sound of footsteps that had echoed earlier disappeared, the silence completely took over the place. The Goddess then turns her gaze towards our direction…… Eh?
Is it just or I feel like the Goddess of Ti is looking here? No, she’s really looking here. It’s not that we just coincidentally made eye contact or anything like that, she’s glaring my way. It kind of looks like she’s trying to kill with gaze, you know!? Why!?
For so reason, the Goddess of Ti stopped and looked towards , and after a mont of contemplation, she calmly walked to our direction—– and stood in front of Lilia-san.
[……You’re a noble of this country, right?]
[Eh!? Y- Yes…… Lilia Albert…… is… my… na…]
The Goddess of Ti stops in front of Lilia-san and asked in a quiet voice, while Lilia-san replies even as her lips quiver.
I guess she didn’t expect that she would be speaking to her. I can’t see her face because I’m standing behind her, but I can see her shoulders slightly trembling.
[Is the man standing behind you your attendant?]
[N- No, he’s…… Umm……]
[Fumu…… No, sorry. It seems like it’s a question difficult for you to answer, so you can just forget about that question.]
After saying so, the Goddess of Tis shifted her gaze to and quietly stared at with her red and blue heterochromatic eyes.
[……Man, it seems that you are blessed with quite the strange fate huh?]
[……Eh?]
[No, I don’t know much about those things, as they’re under the domain of the God of Fate…… But very interesting, indeed. This pressure I’m feeling from you…… Which carnage demon liked you at first sight?]
[……………]
I honestly don’t what she’s talking about, but co to think of it, I think Shiro-san had used that kind of phrase too.
The Human liked by Kuromueina from first sight…… What could those words possibly an?
I didn’t answer her with anything. Or rather, I myself am confused by that question of her that I can’t answer. Removing her gaze from , the Goddess of Ti looks at Lilia-san again.
[You said your na was Lilia Albert, right……? If I’m not mistaken, it was you who was responsible for summoning the heroes this ti, are you not?]
[……Y- Yes…… It is as you say……]
[It looks like you’ve picked out a very interesting being…… I’d love to talk with you so more, but I’ve got so other business to attend to today, so I don’t have the ti. I would like to talk with you again at a later date, if that’s alright with you?]
[!?!? Y- Yes. Whenever the Goddess of Ti-sama wishes…… is fine with ……]
When the Goddess of Ti said she wanted to talk to her later, Lilia-san shoulders jerked for a mont before she deeply offered her gratitude with her hands on the ground, and at the sa ti, a ruckus rose around us.
Perhaps, this proposal is sothing that can be called unprecedented. Lunamaria-san, who was next to , is also so surprised that she’s frozen in place with her eyes wide opened.
However, the unprecedented events within the unprecedented events didn’t just end there. When the Goddess of Ti heard Lilia-san’s reply, she nodded in satisfaction and then held out her hand to Lilia-san.
[I see, I’m sorry for bothering you at that ti. Well then, I’ll be conveying you my plans later…… This might be informal but in exchange for the troubles—— I bestow upon you the “Blessings of Ti”——]
[!?!? ]
As light overflowed from her held out hand, it began to envelop Lilia-san’s body.
The blessing of a Supre God…… Even though I’m not very familiar with this world, I can understand what that ans.
Even the king of a country was barely able to receive the blessing of a high-rank God, but the Supre Gods are beings far higher than them—- And this is the blessing of such a being that’s rarely seen aside from the Festival of Heroes. This blessings is no longer just sothing that can be bought by money.
[……I- It— It—- It was my honor to receive your blessing.]
[Umu. Well then, I’ll et you at the ti we can talk again. I’ll “rember” your na.]
After saying that, the Goddess of Ti turned her gaze towards once more before walking towards the temple, and the priests who were frozen in place by the events that just happened followed suit.
Speaking of Lilia-san herself, she’s still kneeling down on the ground, not moving even slightly. Or rather, she appears to be completely frozen in place.
After a little while, when the Goddess of Ti’s group disappeared from sight, as everyone remained dumbfounded, Lunamaria-san quickly moves and as she holds Lilia-san in her arms, she told us.
[Everyone! Quick, back to the carriage!!]
[ [ [!? ] ] ]
Saying that, we broke into a run and as we reached the parked carriage, Lunamaria-san literally threw the frozen Lilia-san into the carriage.
She just threw her like it’s sothing normal. Is it okay to do sothing like that to your master?
Leaping straight to the reins of the carriage and after confirming that the three of us had rushed into the carriage, Lunamaria-san quickly made the horses start running.
The reason why Lunamaria-san was in such a hurry is understandable from the ear-piercing cheers that ca right after the carriage started moving.
Lilia-san, who received the blessing from a Supre God, which is considered unprecedented, is now considered as the woman of the hour, and if she had stayed there, she would have been bombarded a lot of questions, which would have been a terrible thing to happen.
Thanks to Lunamaria-san’s quick thinking, we managed to get out of there before all hells broke loose. Since we’re not criminals, we didn’t get chased or anything like that so after a while, Lunamaria-san also let out a sigh of relief as she left the reins to the attendant who was originally managing the carriage, going back into the carriage again.
Then she swung around and woke up the stiffened Lilia-san, who is still in that position when she was just thrown into the carriage.
[My Lady, My Lady! Please get a hold of yourself!!]
[……Huh!? Lu- Luna? Eh, ah, awawawawa, what d-d-d-did just……]
[It’s amazing! My Lady! Not only does the Goddess of Ti rembered your na, she even blessed you, even though it’s just informally!! It’s a brilliant achievent!!]
[Awawawa, A- A- As I thought, it wasn’t just a dream huh. T- T- T- That the Goddess of Ti…… G- G- Gave her blessing……]
This won’t do. Lilia-san’s completely in a panic.
She’s unimaginably trembling compared to her normally calm appearance, and she looked like a newborn calf, moving her gaze all around the place. To be honest, she looks really cute like that.
[No, My Lady. I don’t understand what you’re saying. Please calm down.]
Should I say that it’s to be expected from Lunamaria-san, she was able to cut in even against Lilia-san who’s in that state.
But unfortunately, it seems that Lilia-san is the type of person who is unable to compose herself when she began to panic.
[T- T- T- That’s impossible!? How could sothing like this happen…… Awawa—- Kyuuu~]
[My Lady!? Wha, My Lady!?]
Ah, it seems that Lilia-san had beco too panicked that her eyes began turning around the place. I feel like I could even see sothing like steam coming out from her head.
For now, we took a break from moving until Lilia-san recovers, and while the carriage stopped a short distance away from the main road, Lilia-san laid down on her seat with a wet towel on her face.
[Unnyyuuu~]
Letting out a smile at Lilia-san who is making such cute groans, we talked about what happened earlier.
[Senpai’s manekineko power…… It’s quite fearso, isn’t it?]
[Yes…… Even I shuddered from that. I’m glad that I didn’t pray to Miyama-sama.]
[Eh? How co this has beco my fault?]
[Whether this was Miyama-san’s fault or not, the Goddess of Ti was clearly interested in Miyama-san.]
I wonder if that’s the case though? She did say so strange things, and there’s also the thing that Goddess of Ti said that was the sa as what Shiro-san said, and I don’t know if I’m really blessed by a strange fate or not but……
[Arehh? Speaking of which…… I’m changing the subject, but in the end, what’s the na of the Goddess of Ti?]
[I don’t know. The Gods basically don’t na themselves, while we just call the Gods under the sa authority as the God of this authority, so at least, I don’t know. If it’s a low-rank God, so of the priests of their temple might know about it…… But if it’s a high-rank God, I don’t think anyone would know aside from their fellow Gods?]
[……………]
——-That certain goddess I just t is different though. I an, she’s the first one to introduce herself!
Well, she knows Kuro so…… Let’s just say that Shiro-san is outside the norm for now, but there are other things that are on my mind right now.
[However, with her like this, can Lilia-san have a “one-on-one” discussion with the Goddess of Ti?]
[Hyyiiii!? O- One-on-one!?]
I an, Lilia-san was the one that was asked to be talked to, Lilia-san is also the Duchess, and she was also the one in charge of summoning us……
[Lu- Luna…… Help……]
[As expected, that would be impossible. No matter how you look at it, I’m just a re servant, I wouldn’t be able to sit together in a discussion within the presence of a Supre God. Or rather, I don’t think I would be allowed.]
Hearing my words, Lilia-san jumped up and clung to Lunamaria-san while looking up at her, but Lunamaria-san looks apologetic as she shook her head.
[That’s impossible even for too, you know!? Just thinking about talking with a Supre God makes my body quiver, but talking with her one-on-one is……]
She broke in tears. She really broke down and gushing in tears.
[……I think Miyama-san would be allowed to sit within her presence though?]
[!!!!! ]
[Huh?]
[Indeed, the Goddess of Ti seed to be interested in Miyama-sama, and I’m rather sure that’s actually the main purpose why she wants to talk with My Lady……]
Arehh? It looks like the situation is turning ominous though…
Lilia-san looked at with tears on her eyes. She looks like she’s in a ss as she looks at .
[N- No, but I’m just a regular commoner—– “Please co along with ! Kaito-san!!”—– Uwaaahhh!?]
For the ti being, I wish to refrain from going into a place that might make my stomach churn, so I thought of indirectly saying no…… But Lilia-san literally jumped at .
[Please! Please help !!]
[Li- Lilia-san!? Your face, your face is too close!? And your grip is too strong!?]
[I have no one else to turn to!! eting her alone is definitely impossible!!]
The words “evidently desperate” were accurately applicable to Lilia-san’s appearance right now, but the real problem for was actually being hugged by Lilia-san.
The combination of those things that are extrely soft, the sweet scent of her perfu tickling my nostrils and her teary eyes…… Its destructive power is imasurable.
Moreover, even if I try to pull her off away from , I don’t know where such power is found in her slender body, but she’s clinging with an outrageous amount of force that I can’t pull her off at all.
This stimulus is too strong for a man of my age who has never had a girlfriend since birth. Or rather, my back hurts like hell from her embrace!
I an, it’s almost like she’s trying to do a knee breaker on ……
(T/N: Kaito is actually talking about sabaori, a sumo technique.)
[I- I understand! I’ll be attending too! I’ll be attending already!!]
[Kaito-zaaaaaannnnnnn!!]
[W- Wait, Lilia-san…… It hurts……]
[Thank you vewwwyyy muuuucchhhh!!]
[Wait…… Seriously…… I’m dying here……]
If things continue like this, putting aside my reason, even my life is in danger. The only way for to pull her off is to agree in eting the Goddess of Ti along with her, so I desperately told Lilia-san that I would be her at that ti.
Thereupon, Lilia-san’s face was overco with emotions, as if she saw Buddha from below the pits of hell…… That she hugged “tighter than before” that I feel like I heard a very unpleasant noise cracking from my back…… And my consciousness went dark.
Dear Mom, Dad—— What can I say, I’ve just been walking around today, but seriously—– How the heck could this happen?
