177 31. The Good Man Decorates the Goddess




 The mansion of the lords, my study.
 The goddess Astaroth, whom I had called, stood before me.

 In a corner of the room was Mari and her maid, Agnes, busily at work.

"Now then, the agricultural part of Avalon, please.
"Okay, I'll take care of it, Lord.

 The settlement of Avalon was well underway.
 Many people were farming and it was almost time for the first harvest.

 I have summoned the goddess of fertility, Astaroth, to bring her blessings on the harvest.

"I am sorry to interfere with the Lord's arrangements,
My level of guidance. I've guided him to the land where he can do the most good, but it's not a guarantee of success. You still need the power of Astaroth to bring about a good harvest.
The Lord's trust, we will see it for sure.
"Yes, thank you. Please, Astaroth.

"......
"......

 The conversation died down, and I went to my office to look over the report papers that had come up on another matter.
 Suddenly, I realized that Astaroth was still there.
 The asterot was still there.

"What is it, Astaroth?
"...... No
"? What's bothering you?
"......

 Astaroth looked complicated and looked away.

 I put the papers down.
 I was curious about Astaroth's reaction.

'What's bothering you? Tell me, what can I do to help? Astaroth has always been a great help to me.
I am grateful. I have no regrets at all, just to hear the Lord say so.
You're overreacting. What the hell is going on? I'm curious, so I hope you'll talk to me properly.

 I said more forcefully.
 I took a slightly commanding tone.
 I knew that Astaroth would not tell me otherwise.

"I was wondering if I should reincarnate as a ...... man.
"Huh? You mean from a goddess to a man? Why?
"I want to be the Lord's servant. ......
"My servant?

 I wondered what this was all about.
 Astaroth glanced around the corner of the room and saw the maid Agnes.

"An imperial messenger. A servant of the Lord, who shares his meaning with the angels.
Yes, the word is a reference to the angel ...... and you want to be it?
"Yes ......
"What's that?

 I got up and approached Astaroth.

 The beautiful, mature, motherly, beautiful Astaroth, just like a goddess, is a goddess in appearance.

 I walk up to her, take out a medal I have in reserve and put it on her chest.

This is it!
"I didn't do it because I thought it would be rather rude to make her a real goddess, but if Astaroth wanted to,
"First Class Imperial Envoy: ......

 He alternately compares me to the medal that was given to him with astonishment.

The words are based on angels, but the ranks are based on imperial titles. Five levels, from duke to baron, are used as a number. So a first class imperial envoy is the equivalent of a duke.
"Well, such a high ranking I--
I told you I was grateful. "I said I was grateful, and that's no surprise, considering all that Astaroth has done for me.
"The Lord ......

"Hawa ...... is an amazing sight
Greatness is master.
"In, right?

 In the corner of the room calls Mari, one of the two people who were marveling at the exchange between me and Astaroth.
"Mari.
"Yes, yes!
"Avalon and Alexander the Confederate Territories are hereby notified that they will make the goddess Astaroth their first imperial envoy. Goddess Astaroth is to be made a first-class imperial envoy.
I understand.
At the same time, the Alexander Confederacy is to place the Order of the First Imperial Messenger on the statue of Astaroth. Up to this point, in the official document, put in a p.s. or something like that, as a joke: 'If you don't wear it, you won't know if the goddess bends her navel.'
"Hoe ...... Wow, I get it!

 Mari hurriedly put away the document.
 Meanwhile, Astaroth was increasingly impressed.

 Gods and angels have slightly different values from humans, but their mental structure is not so different from humans.


 The soul is the same one, so it's not surprising, I guess.

 Astaroth wanted to become an "imperial messenger".
 And so far, I've often been stingy with my blessings, unless there's a statue of me and Astaroth, and I'm not high up in the world.

 He seriously calls me "Lord" and it often comes out in his actions.
 That's what I've fulfilled now.
 I know the feeling.

 When you receive your greatest treasure, you want to show it off.

 As he had hoped, Astaroth became more and more happy.
