"Can you meet Master Noah at ......?
　Those were the words that came out of my mouth.

　Ever since I came here a thousand years ago, I have felt alone.
　If I could only see Lord Noah for a moment, .......

I'm sure you're right. ......
　The goddess of fate (Ila) gave me a sympathetic look.

　I couldn't decide if this request was difficult or not.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

...... Takatsuki Mako. It's your wish.
　With her arms folded, the Goddess of Fate (Ila) has a difficult expression on her face.
　What will ...... happen?
　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.




I waited for the goddess of fate to reply, feeling my heart skip a beat. "...... are you afraid of ...... the Noah of this age?




"What?
　The reply came back unexpectedly.
　You're afraid of that gentle Noah?

No, he's only kind to you, his followers. ....... Especially a thousand years later, Noah has become incredibly round, and sister Eir is casually playing with him. ....... I would never go to an underwater temple unless I had to. ....... The last time I went, I hated it. ......
I don't think I've ever been to an underwater temple before.
　I remember hearing something like that from Eir-sama.
　When I mentioned it, Ila gave me a subtle look.

"You can say that to my face. ....... I'm the youngest of the Olympians, and everyone loves me, but when Noah's around, everyone goes to him. ....... I'm the youngest of the Olympians, and everyone loves me.
"Um, ...... Ila-sama?
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

"Forget about ...... talking to yourself.
Hi, .......　
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. Noah is the equal of sister Althena, so I am no match for him.
Haha. ......
　I don't get it, does that mean Noah is stronger than you?

That's right. In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do.
...... I hope you won't do that.
If you want to talk to Noah, I think you should bring the apostle Demon King Cain into the fold, but ...... I'm sure Abel the hero won't allow it. ......
It's a dead end. ......
　It's not easy to get in touch with Noah, after all. .......
　I'm not sure if I'll have to go directly to the underwater temple.
　I'm not sure what to do.



　--I'm not sure if I'll be able to easily contact her.



If you want, I can give you the title of 'Hero of the Goddess of Fate'.　It's not only that, but as an apostle of the Goddess of Fate (me), I will love you with all my heart.
"Yes, Ila-sama ......?
　I was confused by the different tone of voice and tried to step back.
　But the goddess' hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer.
　I felt her warm breath on my ear.

She breathed warmly into my ear, "These times are lonely, aren't they?　Only I, the Goddess of Fate, can understand you.
It's .......
　Maybe you're right.

　I'm a foreigner in this time.
　I'm a heretic from a peaceful world a thousand years from now.
　First, our values are different.
　Most people don't take me seriously when I say I want to defeat the Great Demon King.
　So I always felt isolated.

"You're doing great on your own. You're doing great on your own, but you're reaching your limit.　Don't you think it's time to turn to someone else?
"It's .............
　So far, I've had Noah, Lucy, and Sasan.
　I had friends to help me, friends to support me.
　A thousand years ago (now), ...... is a little lonely.

"Hey, Makoto Takatsuki, ......, would you like to ride with me from Noah to the Goddess of Fate?
　The words were like sweet honey. ......



"No, you can't!　My King!!!!



　An impatient voice rang out.
　The sudden intruder was the Great Spirit of Water (Dea).

"Oh, Undine. There you are.
"Get away from me, goddess!　I'm your king. ...... You can't abandon us. ......
I won't. Ila is just messing with me.
　I'm just messing with you, Ila-sama," he said, unclasping his hands from around her waist and stepping away from me.

Ila-sama is only teasing me.
I'm all about you, Noah-sama.


"...... d*mn you, goddess.
　It seems that Ila's attitude was a joke after all.
　I'm not sure if she read my mind, but she opened her mouth. 　
　Perhaps reading my mind, Ila opened her mouth.

"It's a memory from the old God Realm War. Spirits don't like the Holy Gods.
"Really?
"I'm not afraid of them!　My king, don't listen to this goddess' sweet talk!　
　With that, the Great Spirit of Water (Dea) disappeared.
　It seems that she really doesn't like the Goddess of Fate.

Please don't bully Dea too much.
I know. Well, it would have been quicker if you had converted to the Goddess of Fate (me), but you should wear this instead.
　What she handed me was a necklace made of some kind of silverwork.
　If you look closely, you'll see that the ornament looks like a clock ......, but it's a clock.

What is this?　If you wear it, you can stop time,.......
I'm afraid that's not possible. The necklace is a communicator with the Goddess of Fate.
A communicator ......?
　I puzzled over that word for a moment, which was not from another world.
　......?
　In other words.

With this, I can talk to the Goddess of Fate at any time?
"Yes. I can't keep up with you. If you have any problems, you can talk to me through this.
Oh!
　That's reassuring.
　After all, it's the support of a goddess of destiny who can see the future.

I'll be counting on you.
Yes, I will. Takatsuki Makoto. Shall we go back to your people now?
Yes, sir.
　Ila and I went back to the chapel where the Great Sage was.



　"Master!



"Master!　Look at this.
"...... Oh.
　The Great Sage (Momo) came running towards us, wearing a heavy robe and a lot of magic tools.

It's not easy to move around in that, is it?
"Isn't it ......?
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. 　

Makoto, have you finished your story?
I'm sure you'll be able to understand.
　The brave Abel and the white dragon also arrived.
　The brave Abel and the white dragon arrived. They were moderately equipped.

I'm done talking. I'm sure you'll be able to find a good holy sword, Abel.
　I asked him about the status of his weapon procurement, which was the purpose of my visit in the first place.

It's .......
　But the brave Abel slurred his words.
　What?
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of this.
"I got this mithril magic sword. It's much better than the one I'm holding now, but according to Hakuryu, it's not a holy sword.
"Really?
　I looked at the sword held by Abel the hero.
　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.

　Well, that's a problem.
　But now we have a reassuring advisor.

"What should I do?
I'm sure you can.
　The goddess of fate (Ila), who descended upon the priestess Esther, proudly proclaimed.

Go to the sacred mountain of Asclepius. At the summit of Ascleus, higher than the dark clouds, is the temple of the sun, the closest to heaven. At that place, you must listen to the voice of Altena, sister of the Sun Goddess (Altena) ....... If you do, you will receive help in defeating the Demon King.
　She said solemnly.
　The brave Abel, the Shiro Dragon, and the Great Sage are listening intently.
　But I was a little worried.
　I'm not sure if I've ever heard you say "sister" before.

(......, Ila, you're showing your true colors.)
　I looked her in the eye with half an eye.

I looked at her with half-lidded eyes.
　I'm sure you'll be fine.

　Will she be okay?　
　I believe in the words of this natural goddess.


　I let out a small sigh.

　Well, still. I feel a lot better than I did when I was thrown out of ...... a thousand years ago all alone.
　Apparently, I've decided on my next destination.
