Running Away From The Hero! Chapter 254

#29. Other Peoples Stories (1)

1. Their Circumstances: A Certain Goddesss Circumstances

Blow it all away.

Even though I said I was a goddess, my appearance was consistently irreverent.

Is an evil spirit also a god?

I am a god! Evil! God! And even before that, I was a god!

You were a nuisance god.

I cant deny that!

Even before being called an evil spirit, during the ti when I was referred to as the goddess of greed and desire, I never heard anything good.

Was it because I pursued instincts over reason, saying and doing whatever I wanted to the followers, as if preaching the doctrine of pursuing instincts?

It was a religion that many criminals among the warlike demons believed in.

Even among the kids who were supposed to be priests, there were cases of secretly embezzling donations sent to their demon sisters.

There was even a ti when the demon sister, who was happily watching over the embezzlent scene, had to intervene with a stranglehold.

Thats why even a master without morals could be accepted as a disciple with a broad heart!

Who asked to be accepted?

Honestly, the master should be in a position to be grateful to . If it werent for , you would have died long ago!

This wasnt a lie.

The master created a situation where he had no choice but to be in such a state, just like a master with a collapsed personality. Was it because he had a heros life in the middle?

Why?

A long ti ago, when the master used a strange ability from a past life, the master lost the power of being an extraplanar being and beca an ordinary person.

Did the creators make a slight mistake when they made the world? Originally, beings that shouldnt enter sotis entered.

Although summoning magic connected dinsions in this world, it wasnt magic powerful enough to summon gods from other worlds.

The gods of this world exist, so why would gods from another world co? It was a significant event that could disrupt the balance of the world, and indeed, the balance of the world wavered when gods from another world were summoned.

And the master was no exception. I dont know what kind of power he had from another world, but it was a power that the regulations created by the gods did not apply to.

Thanks to that, the world cut off the master from its laws, and since he was originally an extraplanar being, even the fragnt of evil held by the imperial princess couldnt touch the master.

But it was different after the master used his ability.

Even though he used it only once, the ability disappeared cleanly, and the master, who lost his uniqueness, had to beco an ordinary human.

If I didnt make the master my disciple, if I didnt give part of my power to the master, the master would have died being torn apart by the souls that died with the fragnts of evil!

Because I had been watching all along, it was just a na to call him the master and nothing more, but originally, he was a god.

Why did you make your disciple?

Its because you wanted to be alive, right?

Yes, thats right.

Then, you should be grateful to the goddess of life who is your benefactor!

I didnt make him my disciple to demand a price. I helped him because I wanted to, and he, who was originally an extraplanar being, was now required to obey the laws of this world. The fragnt of evil that the imperial princess held couldnt touch him either.

But after the master used his ability, everything changed.

Thats why, be grateful to the goddess of life and your savior!

If it werent for , he would have already died in the past.

Well then,

Quickly, show gratitude to the goddess of life, your benefactor!

He should apologize for everything he did.

For his disrespectful behavior towards the goddess.

Isnt all of that your fault?

Huh?

Its clearly the timing to apologize! He was saved, so he should say thank you! But instead, the master took the initiative and attacked.

Evil has appeared in the world. And the gods sealed it.

R-Really?

Who broke the seal?

Was it ?

Yeah, it was you. And what is this thing called the fragnt of evil?

Uh, when I was sealed, the evil energy that escaped from gathered to other races?

Yeah. So why did the fragnt of evil appear?

Because there was evil in the world?

No. Its because so idiot released evil into the world!

Ouch!

Yeah, its all your fault! Because of you, I almost died. You should be grateful that I saved you, right? Dont make laugh.

You should apologize. You should apologize for almost killing !

Wait this is not right.

Why did I suddenly beco the one who has to apologize? I was clearly trying to receive an apology! Why did the situation suddenly turn into apologizing?

Why should I?

If the master still has a bit of humanity left, the master should apologize! You should apologize for the fact that you almost killed !

Huh This is not what I expected.

Why did it suddenly beco a situation where I have to apologize? I was clearly trying to get an apology! Why did the situation suddenly turn into apologizing?

Why should I apologize?

For everything! Where is the volcano?

I apologize! I was wrong! Im sorry! Ive caused trouble by releasing the seal!

In the past, my angry sister had given everything to seal .

Thanks to her, I could barely wake up after thousands of years, but I still wasnt completely resurrected.

The reason I could resurrect was because there was still a trace of the divine in . If that wasnt the case, I would have to sleep for at least a thousand more years after losing this body.

If I make a mistake, I might never wake up again.

So I have to beg.

To live, I must beg.

If I die, its only a loss for .

Its no use being stubborn and dying.

The master, who had been watching for a long ti, learned what he learned and put it into practice.

Reflection?

I am reflecting!

..

Fine. So, do I have to forgive? Back then, the princess stuck to like glue. Im still a fugitive because of that incident, you know?

Wow, look at that attitude.

Honestly, everything related to the princess was the owners fault.

If the owner hadnt saved the princess?

The empire wouldnt be in the position it is now.

The reason the empire beca an unrivaled nation that no one dared to touch was not just because they won in the war, but because they won the war perfectly.

Among the victorious nations, no one had a military power as moderate as the empire.

Victorious, yet in a state of complete disarray.

In a situation where the defeated nations had suffered losses due to the excessive demands of compensation and, if the empire demanded sothing, the defeated nations had to comply unconditionally, and even the victorious nations had to move under the empires watchful eye.

Thanks to the enormous reparations received from the defeated nations, the empire beca stronger, and the power of the princess, who pursued the owner, reached unimaginable levels.

Humans call this kind of situation reaping what you sow.

Yes, its all the owners doing.

Saved the princess who was supposed to die, brought victory to the empire, gave a younger sister to the disciple, disrupting the balance of the world.

All of this was the result of the owners actions.

Whether desired or not, the small actions of the owner accumulated and resulted in a butterfly effect.

In other words, its all the owners fault.

The owner is the bad one! Im not at fault!

Im sorry Its all my fault Please forgive

But the most important thing is that I have no power.

Sigh

Apologizing to the Apostle of the Gods, a god that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Thinking about the known evil spirits in the world, ordinary people wouldnt even be able to imagine such a thing.

In reality, I only bowed my head once since the creation of the world, and that was when my younger sister barged in when the lid was open.

Even to the senior god, I never bowed my head. Bowed my head to a human? Well, its kind of exciting!

Well Since Ive apologized

Just for now Youll bring it up later, wont you

Of course. Theres no way Ill forgive you here when you threatened my life.

Wow

After witnessing all this, the owner, who looked kind in a way, seed amusing for so reason.

I might not have chosen the owner as an apostle and fled if it werent for the fact that the owner and I were bound in various ways.

Think wisely.

What now?

The ones taking us are elves. You know that, right?

Of course.

Do you know which god the elves serve?

The owner?

After surpassing the threat, another threat is erging.

Wasnt there supposed to be so kind of moderation in threats?

I should throw a carrot while whipping. It shouldnt be just whipping all the ti!

Ask anything you want!

Youre a goddess, after all. Maybe because youre a god, you seem to understand the situation properly.

I wondered what kind of existence the god in the owners head was, but I didnt bring it up.

After a mont of silence, the owner asked what he was curious about.

What is an Apostle of Evil? Are there good and bad aspects to it?

An Apostle is a being chosen by a god to lend a part of their power. Saying that the relationship between the owner and is a proper one between a god and an Apostle is a bit, no, quite ambiguous.

Ambiguous?

Yeah. For now, I barely maintain the status of a deity, completely stripped of my soul and even my divinity to serve the owner. In other words, I cant lend any power to the owner.

So, it ans youre useless.

Thanks to that, Im alive! Originally, the mont I was recognized as a resident of this world, the owner would have died from the souls of the fragnts of evil!

?

The owner montarily closed his mouth and seed lost in thought.

Was there sothing to feel after hearing the story twice? Yes, there should be.

If hes not an animal or a person, if hes not an animal but an animate being!

Hey, if I hadnt beco your Apostle, I could have been recognized as a resident of this world, and I could have used magic, right?

Certainly, this human is not an ordinary one. Hes an animal who doesnt appreciate kindness!

Oh, no! You saved my life! Isnt that important?

Of course! How painful it was not being able to use magic all this ti!

Looking at his expression, he really seed to have suffered.

But, still, isnt it nice to have a cute goddess with you instead of magic?

Dont need it!

Straightforward?

I felt a bit hurt.

Isnt that too much? Weve been together all this ti as partners! As soul companions!

An Apostle of Evil and a Soul Companion! I hear voices everywhere in every temple chasing away! Th. most uptod/at nvels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

Another place to run away from. The owner, who sighed about the increasing number of places to run away to, held by the collar and shook , demanding I release my magic.

Release your magic!

Oh, its too late since the fragnts of evil have already settled in your body! And do you know if magic gathers in an instant? Even if you start practicing magic from now on, you wont learn a single spell until the owner dies!

Darn! Is it too late already? Then, how do I use this thing called the fragnt of evil? I can use so strange technique like a demon king, right?

Well there is a way

The fragnt of evil contains the desires of each race.

What the owner has is the desire that dragons have.

In other words,

If the owner uses the fragnt of evil he can seduce won incredibly well.

What? Thats

The one thing that dragons, the supre race and a wealth-driven race, didnt possess was only one. The reproduction of the race.

Dragons have the desire to have many children. So, they have the ability to seduce the opposite sex well.

Is that it?

Yep.

Looking at the owners expression, he really seed upset.

Even so, its better to have a cute goddess like you with , right?

Not needed!

Is it a direct response?

An Apostle of Evil and a Soul Companion! I hear voices everywhere in every temple chasing away!

Another place to run away from. It took an hour to calm down the owner, who threatened to throw towards Volcano.
