The voice was reverberating directly in my head and heart. It was the goddess. I felt a mysterious weight pressing down on my shoulders…
And then I started to gradually lose mana.
“Ooohh? A Battle Spirit clad in a garnt of water?”
“Is he soone belonging to the twelve distinguished families?”
“I thought the huge black beast might be a guardian, but…”
“But, he’s not wearing an army uniform.”
“Rather than that, where is this place…? The trees growing here…I’ve never seen those types before…”
The people close to Rollodeen comnted as they pleased. Apparently they haven’t grasped grasp that they’re currently in a different world.
And then Rollodeen lifted her upper body, trying to look up at the water goddess. She imposingly stood on her two hind paws.
“Nn, nyaa～,” she owed.
Lifting one of her front paws, she revealed her pad.
She repeatedly lifted and lowered her front paws as if asking, 『Want to receive my paw seal nya~?』. To it looked like nothing more than cute cat antics, but…my partner was currently in her huge divine beast form. Thus, it obviously scared the people she had rescued.
But, I understood through my senses. This should be an ability that’s influenced by battle…
“――Do not fret, Divine Beast who received Sadeyula and Gaia’s blessing. I am no more than an illusion.”
The goddess had apparently read Rollodeen’s feelings.
『Let answer your question. Just as you thought, is originally an ability that causes an illusion of to clad a weapon. This ti I have used it as a water call. And I projected my own illusion by using the water in the area and the majority of the mana activated by you』
I comprehended from Water Goddess Akreshys’s voice. I was looking up above my head. The wheat-colored sun shone through the transparent garnt, beautifully illuminating her inner thighs. I had no bad intentions in looking. It was just that I was looking up to her from right below.
I’m a guy, too. So I ended up staring at the deepest place between her pretty legs, her crotch. It had a color reminiscent of water. Its shape was rather small, and she wore extrely refined panties which were adorned with frills and highly artistic strings. Seeing how she’s a water goddess, I guess you can call those godly panties.
Her clothes were similar to Hel’s, but the coloring was slightly different.
『Hmm, an indecent stare…』
Oh shit!
I quickly shifted my eyes to Rollodeen.
“Nn.”
Has Rollodeen realized?
She imdiately unleashed a divine beast punch, cutting at air.
『…Forgive , Water Goddess-sama. I am indebted to you. But, Hel has…』
In the anti, Hel was about to beco a single cluster as if imitating a crystal while glowing. Her Yellow Water Ribbon crest had surfaced as well.
Does this an it’s related to ?
『Did she absorb a part of the demi-goddess?』
『Indeed. In order to protect 』
『The demi-goddess might have been weakened, but absorbing a goddess was unreasonable even for your brave kin』
trusting in her defensive capabilities also played a role, but I guess it was my mistake.
『…Yes. I’m going to be more careful from now on. Are you going to return Hel to her previous state?』
『Be more careful? Hel, who used to be my kin, is now your bloodkin. It’s her duty to protect you. Or to be more precise, the Hel over there is evolving. It’ll take ti, but I think she will return to normal eventually』
Eh? This is the process of her evolving?
『How long is it going to take?』
『In mortal ti, it’ll require a millennium』
…Thousand years. I’d hate to be separated from Hel for such a long ti. Rollo is my partner, but Hel is also dear to as a partner. For a goddess, such a long ti might be no more than a blink of an eye, though.
『I’d like her to recover quickly. Is that possible?』
『It’d be impossible for an ordinary person. But, it might be possible for you』
So it might be possible for , huh?
『Please tell the thod by all ans』
『Very well. First, soak Hel in the lake over there and expand your sage art across the vicinity while pouring your mana into her. Next, invoke 《Water Cure》 after stimulating it with your mana. Then, if you can successfully remove the scum of the demi-goddess that’s probably clinging to Hel’s core…Hel should recover. Lastly, at the mont when you have retrieved all of the scum, she’s going to spit out the demi-goddess’s part…supposedly. This would be the proof of it having succeeded. But, the extre difficulty…』
『――Okay, then I’ll get to it at once』
It had a nuance of not really wanting to hear the last part of what the goddess wanted to say, but I didn’t care.
For starters, I touched the tallic cross next to my right eye, booting up the Kaleidoscope. The tallic device, which would pass on the energy into my eyeball, deployed. It possessed a surface similar to a highly-efficient, intelligent glass. The attachnt near my temple transford into a 卍 just as always.
Fras were added to my existing visual field, and the resolution was enhanced as well. I scanned the wriggling Hel cluster.

―――――――――――――――――
It was bugged. I scanned the cluster, but the dense mana was so heavily overlapping that it looked like a natural mosaic. I could barely understand that it was a wriggling being.
I deactivated the Kaleidoscope by touching the attachnt once more.
Then I carried Hel to the lake. While soaking the Hel cluster with water from the lake at the shore, I poured mana into it.
At that mont, the cluster absorbed the water around it, instantly turning into a humanoid shape. The humanoid floated up while looking asleep.
I activated and placed the crooked mana hand beneath Hel. Hel’s core, a bluish-black orb, was exposed at her chest. It’s the sa orb she showed when we ford a contract.
At the sa ti, pearl-like water droplets kept trickling down along Hel’s nude body before falling from the mana hand into the lake.
Small, blue butterflies squird on the bluish-black orb. This must be the scum the water goddess ntioned…
I deployed my sage art. It allowed to gain the sensation of being a part of the surroundings, as if having fused with nature, peculiar to a sage body. The mist of my sage art spread out. It slowly crept onward while creating wave patterns on the lake’s surface.
Is it a herald of strong feelings? Though, the mana consumption that feels like it’s twisting my stomach is the sa nonetheless…
Different from the usual sage art…the mist looked like a dense blanket of white flas.
After confirming my vicinity, I focused on Hel, strongly believing that I’d heal her.
I clad my whole body in Magic Combat Style without ever having attempted to run my sage arts and Magic Hand guided by Thought at the sa ti. But, I won’t lose to the vague assimilation with nature.
So as to affirm my own self, I focused on the Magic Shoutaiyin Feijing in order to knead my mana, which was centered beneath my navel, once more. I’ll decide it through my inner strength.
On top of that, I silently cast 《Water Cure》, invoking it. A transparent water globe, which was bigger and shining brighter than usual, manifested in front of my eyes.
The water globe sank into Hel’s body as if lting into it. And then I placed my mana-laden on a butterfly that was coiled around Hel’s core. I carefully grabbed the sticky end of the butterfly and removed it by pulling it up from below.
White, burning hands appeared from within the white mist that had assimilated with . The hands were covered by countless white flas, looking like they contained a burning, seething steel core within. The hands and my own hands perford a surgery on Hel’s open heart, carefully removing all the stains polluting her core.
The blue butterflies moved their sticky wings. They had multiple legs on their bellies like centipedes.
The hands and I threw away these trash bugs of Golgonshura. The instant the butterflies ca in contact with the white flas of the mist around , they evaporated.
――Alright, most of the cleaning is done.
It was quite a troubleso piece of work. Removing those clinging to the core with tentacles was a major pain.
※Piiing※ skill acquired ※
※Piiing※ Conditions for t ※ Sage Occupation Class has gone up ※
※Piiing※ Your Class has gone up from to ※
, huh? I reached the next rank after apprentice while being watched by the water goddess. But, it looks like my spear and sage arts won’t fuse yet.
I an, my combat occupation hasn’t evolved even after I killed Golgonshura. Well, seeing how is an extrely rare combat occupation, it won’t go that easily, I suppose. Well, various things might influence it either way.
Combat occupations you can’t acquire unless you get woodworking-based skills should also exist.
Suddenly, Hel’s throat expanded abnormally. The instant her mouth turned into a huge, round hole,
“Guubuuhh――!”
She vomited so kind of object alongside so water. It was an oval gem which lightly floated on the lake without sinking. Its surface had depressions. Countless trenches ran alongside its surface, forming the shapes of small butterflies.
Thereupon, the part of the butterflies, which hadn’t evaporated after being thrown away, headed for that gem. They were moving as vigorously like starving piranhas…
The butterfly successively bit into the gem’s depressions, and furthermore clung to its surface with their legs.
Eventually, the butterflies stopped moving after adopting the sa color as the gem. Following that, the butterfly carvings on its surface revived as if the gem was filled with power. Its egg shape didn’t change overly much compared to right after being spat out by Hel. It just lost so of its depressions on the surface, increasing the cleanness of the gem.
I grabbed the gem, pressed it and traced the remaining trenches with my fingers, but nothing happened. I didn’t send any mana into it, since it’d probably trigger sothing.
This gem was certainly interesting, but first I had to handle the matter with Hel. She was sleeping while floating above the lake.
Her sleeping face is adorable…
I stuffed the gem, which looked like it’d beco a key, into my pocket.
『Thank you for always』, I strongly thought while brushing Hel’s hair to the sides. Supporting Hel’s body, I carried her like a knight, before lowering her on the ground.
The grass at the shore was soft, making it a great bed. Hel was snoring lightly.
I wonder whether the surgery succeeded.
