--in the space of a goddess.

Hello, ma'am.
　There was a goddess of water with an immaculate smile.

''Hi.......Eir-sama.
　Why is Eil-sama talking to me before my faithful Noah-sama?

"Mako.
　And then, a divine looking Noah-sama stood there with his arms folded.

''Noah-sama. The resurrection of the Demon King has been prevented safely. Thank you for the 'divine armor' magic.
　I knelt down and thanked him.
　But Master Noah's expression did not clear.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I let you use your life expectancy and forced you to save the tree country (spring rogue) from danger. There was no reason for Mako to fight.
　'If you're worried about it,' he said.

''As a result, my friends were safe and we didn't cause any damage to McAllen or the Water Country (Roses), so it's fine. By the way, I've been petrified, will I be okay?
　The last petrification didn't kill me... did it?

'That's not a problem. Right now, Friae is breaking the curse on the petrified Woodland (Spring Rogue) warriors in turn. Of course, the priests of the Tree Kingdom are helping her, but the Moon Priestess is exceptional. They've already lifted the curse on dozens of petrified people.

　Heh, I'm glad I got Friae to stay after all.
　I mean, that bastard Seteker is too petrified....

'So, Eir.
　Guillory, Noah-sama glares at the water goddess.

'Oh, what is it?'
"Don't be a coward!　You lied about the Water Kingdom (Roses) being destroyed, and you just let Mako retrieve the souls of the demon race while you said you'd help her!　How dare you take advantage of Mako!
　'Keys,' said Noah-sama, raising his hands in anger.

'That's right, Eil-sama. There's no need to bother hiding it.
"What?
　Noah-sama and Eir-sama turned around at the same time.

'Mako-kun, aren't you angry?'
Not particularly.
　To meet Maximilian, the brave man of the tree country.
　To learn about Lucy's mother's tremendous fighting ability.
　And I was able to talk to the evil king.
　It was a meaningful adventure.

Hey Noah. Mako-kun, you are a bit of an odd one, aren't you?
He has no sense of danger. Makoto, you're a pervert for being happy to see the Demon King?
　What is it, making people feel like freaks.

''Come to think of it, is the soul of the demon race that I 'dedicated' to be reincarnated by Eir-sama?
　It reminds me of the words of Demon King Biflons.
　It seems that the creatures sacrificed by the Sacred God tribe can be reborn.

That's right, the souls of strong demons become strong warriors when they're reborn. The demon tribe Shuri that you defeated will be reborn as a great hero.
　Goddess of Water who replies adorably with a Kyarun.

''Haha, well, if it would enhance the strength of the Water Kingdom, I guess it would be good...''
　Honestly, I feel like it's a big problem in the water country to be the highest power in the world at my level.
　But I wonder if Shuri-san will be my colleague in the future?

''Well that's the thing, Eir. Senior demon race -> heroic, is it okay to purify your soul even if you make it such a sudden opposite existence?
　Master Noah asked to confirm.

'Master Noah, what do you mean by that?'
It's a good thing that the soul of the demon tribe is protected by the blessing of the "evil god tribe" and their soul is dyed in that direction. I think that if you make a hero of the "holy tribe of gods", you will become an unstable existence.
　Heh, as expected, Noah-sama knows everything.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. If the demon race that Makoto defeated, Shuri, was suddenly reincarnated as a hero, he would immediately go insane.
What?　
　Feeling perplexed, I stare at Eil-sama, who is smiling and smiling.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time. Well, I'm not so sure.....
　Eil-sama, who says it plainly.
It's not very nice.
　Lady Noah gave him a blank stare.

''Because, it can't be helped. The water country's strength is small. The odds of winning a war against the demon race are less than 50%.

(Huh?)

Idiot!　You're not supposed to tell me information about the future in front of Makoto!
It's okay. There is a ward that Noah put in place to prevent the heavens from looking at you from the undersea temple. Hmmm, this is the perfect place to talk about secret matters.
　We've been having all sorts of disturbing conversations earlier.
　And the word that bothers me the most is.

''Eil-sama, is the human race likely to be defeated by the demon race?
Yes, according to Ila's prediction, but the future is uncertain, so I don't know what will happen.
So, Eil is trying to prepare a force to fight for in case we lose the war. Even if I create a strong warrior in time, he won't be ready for this war.
　Noah-sama added to Eil-sama's words.

That's why I'd like you to continue to create many strong demons, Mako-kun. If we can create ten brave men and women, we'll be able to fight back even if we lose the war. Well, there may be only 5 of them that can be used properly. The rest will go crazy and die?
....
　It's all black!　You water goddess (Eil)!
　Oh, man, isn't this the evil one?

Are you sure you don't want to?　Treating lives so lightly...?
　Although it seemed to fall under the category of disrespect, I couldn't help but take an accusing tone.

　Nevertheless, the expression on Lady Water Goddess (Eil)'s face was calm.
　In a quiet tone, she said, "It's fine, because


　-- because we are the rulers of the world.


　The cold eyes of the Goddess of Water (Eil), who says this, are.
　Crawling on the ground, it was a gaze directed at the ants.
　Is that one?

(To the gods, are we earthly humans nothing more than insects?)

I am.
　Noah-sama turned away from me, folding his arms sullenly.

"Mako, you need to get out of the water country (Roses). Anyway, if you run away from the national certification heroes, it's over.
'No, but if we leave the Water Country (Roses), there's nowhere else we can be...'
　It's the Land of the Sun (Highland) in terms of a big country, but the status system is so strict there.

'What are you talking about? You just saved the tree country just now. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular items.　You should all move over there. And while you're at it, just break off your engagement to the Water Goddess Priestess.
　Noah-sama also changes a lot of things he says.
　I told you to be friends with the miko.

Hey, wait a minute!　That's... Wait!　Sofia, you're going to cry!
　Suddenly, Ail-sama started to panic.

''Ha!　That doesn't mean my mako can't be used like a handyman!
''Well, Mako-kun~, I'll try to be sincere in the future, so just break off your engagement with Sophia.......''
　How could you be so bad at this, Master Eil?

　I scratched my cheek and thought about it for a while.

(I mean.........Princess Sophia's engagement is still at the verbal level. Doesn't it require a contract or something to be signed...?

The heroic work will continue. Princess Sophia and I will continue to be friends.
　I was about to say that we have an unchanging relationship and...............

(Eir-sama seemed to be kind at first glance, but she had a black-hearted side like this one, so maybe Princess Sophia, the priestess who believed in her, actually had an ulterior face.......)

Wait, Mako!　You're wrong!　Sophia-chan is really pure, unlike me!
　You know, they read my mind.
　I said it wasn't me. Miss Eil.
　I glanced at Noah-sama.

"Sophia-chan isn't one of my followers, so I don't know for sure, but... Maybe she'll be fine. Just because the Goddess's character is bad, it doesn't mean that her followers have a bad character either. Especially since Eir is perfect on the outside, the believers must be fooled by her.
'Oh my God. But you know, Sofia, every night she prays for me because she's worried about you, Mako.　Isn't it cute! So take good care of him.
Is it okay to say that to me...?
　What should I look like the next time I see you?

'I'll continue to sneak around and help you. Hey!　I'm a water goddess, and you and Mako-kun go well together, right?
Don't lie to me, please.
　I'm not so sure about that.
　Well, even Lady Noah hid the Evil One.
　The Goddess is a liar!　
　I see clearly!

Oh, Makoto. It looks like Furiae has broken the petrification curse. She should be waking up soon.
Oh, I see. I just wanted to ask you a few more questions.
　I especially want to hear about the war against the demon race.　　
　Brave people are required to participate in it, right?
　A war with a high possibility of losing......I don't like it.

　As I think about that, Noah-sama and Eir-sama's figures gradually start to blur.
　Apparently, they are close to waking up.

''Ah!　That's right. A message from the tree goddess (Freya)!　He told me to tell Mako-kun thank you. I was so grateful!
　I could hear Eir-sama's voice in a whisper.

　My vision went blank and my consciousness faded away.


　◇


　There was a rough feeling on my cheek.
　I looked to the side with my thin eyes and saw a black cat licking my cheek.

''....Tsui?''
　I wonder if he was worried about me.

'Oh my, are you awake?　A brave man of stone?
....
　He opened his eyes and was quick to open them, and a beautiful voice spoke sarcastic words to him.
　She had lustrous black hair and skin as white as silken snow.
　That dainty face, like a deep-windowed daughter.

The princess...
''Hey you, why does it take my knight a week to lift the curse when all the other elves and knights were able to lift the petrification curse right away? Zero magic resistance, are you licking your chops?
　Huriae-san made me sigh in a dumbfounded tone.

''It can't be helped, your status doesn't go up at all, even if you level up.
　As I try to get up, I realize that my body is heavy as lead.
　It's about 39 degrees, like when you have a cold and a fever.
　What the hell is this?

Just go back to sleep," he says. I'm not all right yet.
　Furiae forced me to lie down.
　I feel a soft and fluffy sensation on the back of my head.

(Hmm?)

　Speaking of which, Friae-san is looking down at my face from the side.
　This posture, in other words........

With the viewpoint switch of the "RPG Player" skill, I look at it from the outside.
　There was me, with Friere-san kneeling on my knees.
　Hey, this is a bit embarrassing........

''No, I'm fine now...''
　I tried my best to force myself to get up.

'Huh, my knight is embarrassed, isn't he?　Well, I can't blame you for seeing my face, the most beautiful face in the world, up close and personal. It's about time you got mesmerized.
　Miss Freyae looks happy.

(Is she the most beautiful in the world?

　It reminded me of the two goddesses I had seen in my dream earlier, Noah-sama and Eir-sama.
　Both of them had inhumanly beautiful looks.
　Hmm.

(You can't compare them to that?)
　To be honest, compared to the two Goddess-sama's, Furiae-san looks normal too.

''........What's that face?''
　For a change, Friae-san makes a quizzical face.
　Oops, did it come out in her expression?

''.........Princess is always Utsukushii....
Hey!　Why did you take it out on me?　That sympathetic look makes me so angry!
　I was smacked.
　The black cat (Tsui) went away quickly, startled by Friae's voice.

'Hey, wait. It usually hurts!''
　For my meager status, a miko's punch of the highest level of humanity is usually heavy!
　But Mr. Freyae doesn't stop.

'Really, I can't forgive you!　Take the wizard and the warrior with you, and I'll just stay home. And my knight will come back as a carefree stone!
'Oh, you've been worried about me. Thanks, Princess.
'Shut up, shut up!　Next time, take me with you!
No, no.

　A miko shouldn't be out on the battlefield.

(But, well, it was bad enough that I had to worry about you.)
　I tried not to push myself in the future, soothing Friae, who was tapping me with a poke.

　I was still freshly awake and fuzzy in consciousness.
　So I didn't notice the approaching figure.

''Sounds like you're having fun, Brave Mako.

What?
　Princess Sophia, with her cold eyes and tone of voice, was looking down at me.
