If I had to describe it, it would be a white wave - no, it was a wall.
　The sight of a group of people dressed in pure white vestments marching in a single, unbroken stride is rightly a stunning sight. The surroundings that were supposed to be noisy a moment ago are enveloped in a frozen silence, and the crowd is split in two because of the presence that passes here.
　We follow Lilia-san to the edge of the road and line up in a kneeling prayer position with her in the lead.

　Looking around, it seems to be the custom to do this, and the head of each family's apparent head of house is in front of us, while the attendants are in the back of the house, divided into left and right positions in prayer.
　Nearly half of the people here are aristocrats, that is to say, people who have a certain level of status in this country, but they all stand on their knees and hang their heads.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

　And in the center of the people dressed in pure white vestments, the goddess was walking with a definite presence.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends.
　The appearance of the long legs while surrounded by the priests looks like a show held only for that goddess.
　This is - the goddess of time.

　The goddess of time walks leisurely along the path surrounded by silence and prayer.
　In the air that can even be called mysterious, with only the sound of unstagnant feet echoing, the goddess of time headed to the temple - she stopped on the way.

''........''

　The surrounding priests also stopped in unison, and while the sound of footsteps that had echoed earlier disappeared and silence took over the place, the goddess of time quietly turned her gaze towards us.......eh?
　Isn't the Statue of Time looking at us?　No, I'm looking at it perfectly. It's not like we're making eye contact or anything, it's a gunshot wound. It's like you're staring at me like you're shooting me in the face!　Why!

　For some reason, the goddess of time looked at me, paused, and after a moment of contemplation, she walked leisurely up to me - in front of Lilia-san.

You're a nobleman in this country, right?
'What?　Yes, yes I'm Lilia Alberto and I'm also Lilia Alberto.

　The Goddess of Time stops in front of Lilia-san and asks in a quiet voice, and Lilia returns the words with a quiver of her lips.
　I guess she didn't expect to be spoken to. I can't see her face because she's behind me, but I can see her shoulders trembling slightly.

''Is the man standing behind you your squire?''
No, no, he's not... well...
Hmmm... no, I'm sorry. I don't know if that's a difficult question to answer, so you can forget the question at hand.

　After announcing that, the goddess of time shifted her gaze to me and stared at me quietly with her red and blue odd eyes.

".........Man, you are blessed with quite a strange fate, aren't you?
...What?
Well, I don't know much about that sort of thing, since it's in the realm of the god of fate, but it's very interesting. The pressure I'm feeling from you what kind of devil do you think you are?
....

　Honestly, I honestly don't know what you're talking about, but come to think of it, I think White used that kind of phrase too.
　A human being who was seen by Crom Eina........what the hell did he mean by that?

　I can't answer anything. Or rather, when I myself am confused by the unanswerable question, the goddess of time removes her gaze from me and looks at Lilia-san again.

The actuality of this is that you are in charge of summoning the heroes this time, right?

I see you've found someone interesting to talk to, and I'd like to hear what you have to say, but I've got other matters to attend to today. I'd like to have a conversation with you at a later date, if you don't mind.
''!　Ha, yes. Whenever the Goddess of Time pleases, she will.

　When the Goddess of Time said she wanted to talk to her later, Lilia-san jerked her shoulders for a moment, then returned a deep thank you with her hands on the ground, and at the same time, a buzz arose around her.
　Perhaps this proposal is something that can be called unusual. Luna Maria-san, who was next to me, is also so surprised that her eyes widen and freeze.

　However, the exception within the exception did not end there. The goddess when she heard Lilia-san's reply, she nodded once in satisfaction and then held out her hand to Lilia-san.

''Well, don't bother.
?

　Light overflows from the hand I held up, and it envelops Lilia-san's body.
　
　Even the king of a country should barely be able to receive a blessing from a superior god, but a blessing from a being far above that - a being whose face is rarely even seen outside of a heroic festival. It's no longer a value that can be converted into money.

''........here, here, I am honored to be honored.''
Hmm. Well, see you later in the dialogue. Your name is 'I'll remember'.

　After saying that, the goddess of time turned her gaze towards me once more and then walked towards the temple, and the priests who were frozen in place by the events of the day followed suit.
　And speaking of the actual Lilia-san, she is in a kneeling position, not moving even slightly. Or rather, she appears to be completely frozen.
　A little while later, when the goddess of time's group disappears from sight, Lunamaria-san quickly moves in the stunned air and tells us, holding Lilia-san in her arms.

''Ladies and gentlemen!　Quickly to the carriage!
" " "?

　Saying that, I ran out and literally threw Lilia-san, who was frozen in the stopped carriage, into the carriage.
　I just threw her off like a normal person. Is it okay to do that to my husband?
　Lunamaria leapt straight to the reins of the carriage, and after confirming that the three of us had rushed into the carriage, she quickly started it.
　The reason why Lunamaria was in such a hurry is understandable from the cracking cheers that came from the carriage right after it started moving.
　You can find a lot of people who have received the unusual blessing from the Supreme Lord, Lilia, who is now in the state of man of the hour, and if she had stayed there, she would have been asked a lot of questions, which would have been a terrible thing.



















　Thanks to Lunamaria's quick thinking, we managed to get out of there before all hell broke loose. We're not criminals, so we didn't get chased, and once we had advanced for a while, Lunamaria-san let out a breath of relief, left the reins to her original attendant, and came back to the carriage.
　Then, in a perfectly thrown-in position, he wakes up Lilia-san, who is rigid, and shakes her body.

'Miss, Miss!　Please get a grip!
''....What?　Luna, Luna?　Eh, ah, aww, I, na, na na, what...
'It's great!　Miss!　I can't believe the goddess of time not only remembered my name, but even blessed me, albeit in an abbreviated ceremony!　It's an accomplishment!
Aww, ya, somewhat, I knew it wasn't a dream.

　It's not working. Lilia-san, she's completely out of control.
　She's trembling unimaginably from her normally calm appearance, and her eyes are moving around like a newborn little animal. To be honest, it's really cute.

No, miss. I don't understand what you are saying. Please calm down.

　As expected of Lunamaria-san, or should I say Lunamaria-san, I'm amazed that she was able to cut in against Lilia-san in that state.
　But unfortunately, it seems that Lilia-san is the type of person who can't stop herself when she starts to get temperamental.

''Mmmm, it's impossible!　How did this happen.....
'Miss!　Wait, miss!

　Ah, finally, Lilia-san's confusion seems to have exceeded her own tolerance, and she turned her eyes around. It feels like something like steam is coming out of her head.






















　For now, the movement is a break until Lilia-san's condition recovers, and the carriage stops a short distance away from the main street, where Lilia-san is lying on a seat with a wet towel on her face.

''Unnu~''

　While smiling at Lilia-san, who is making an adorable roar, we talk about what happened earlier.

''Senpai's beckoning cat effect.......................It's terrifying.
'Yes I shuddered too. I'm glad I didn't pray to Miyama-sama.
'What?　Is this my fault?
Whether or not it was Miyama-san's fault or not, the Goddess of Time was clearly interested in Miyama-san.

　I wonder if that's true?　He said some strange things, and Shiro-san and the Goddess of Time, how can we always be blessed with such strange connections...

'Huh?　Speaking of which..............but what is the name of the Goddess of Time after all?
I don't know. Basically, they don't call themselves "gods", they call the same gods "xxx gods", so at least I don't know about them. If it's a low grade god, it seems that more than the priests of the temple know about it, but if it's a high grade god, no one but the gods of the tribe knows about it.
....

　--She's not like the Goddess I know. Because she's the first person to tell you who she is.
　Well, I'm an acquaintance of that black guy.... well, let's just leave Shiro-san out of it for now, the thing that's bothering me at the moment is that matter.

"But, Lilia-san, can you have a 'one-on-one' conversation with the Goddess of Time like this?
'Hee!　I mean, one on one!

　Lilia was the one who was asked to do the interview, and Lilia is the Duke, and she was in charge of summoning him...

Luna help...
''It's impossible. I'm a mere servant, but I can't sit in on a discussion with the Supreme Lord. Or rather, I won't be allowed.

　Hearing my words, Lilia-san jumped up and looked at Lunamaria-san with clinging eyes, but Lunamaria-san shook her head as if she was sorry.

''Even I can't do it!　My body shakes just thinking about a dialogue with the Supreme Lord or something like that, but one-on-one.......

　He is half in tears. He seems to be really full of it.

''........Miyama-san would have permission to sit with you, wouldn't she?
!!!!!
"Huh?
''Indeed, the Goddess of Time seemed to be interested in Miyama-sama, and I'm rather sure that's the main purpose of the conversation with the young lady...''

　Huh?　I don't know what's going on here.
　Lilia's looking at me like she's about to cry. She's looking at me like I'm crazy.

"No, no, but I'm just a regular guy-- 'Come sit with me, please!　Mr. Kite! --Whoa!

　I wanted to refrain from a place that might make me feel sick to my stomach, so I was going to say no to that, but Lilia-san literally jumped at me.

''Please!　Please help!
Ms. Lilia!　You're so close to my face!　Powerful?
'I have no one else to turn to!　I'm definitely not going to be able to do this alone!

　The expression "desperate" correctly applies to Lilia-san's appearance, but for us, the problem was more about being hugged by Lilia-san than that.
　It's a combo of surprisingly soft, perfumed, nostril tickling good smell and teary eyes.......the destructive power is immeasurable.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.
　This stimulus is too strong for a man of my age who has never had a girlfriend. The back of the woman being hugged hurts more than that, it hurts like hell!
　I mean, it's almost like a muzzler.

Okay, okay!　I'll be there!　I will!
'Kitezaa!
"Well, wait, Miss Lilia........it's painful.......
Thank you!
It's...really...falling....

　If this was the case, my life, let alone my reason, was in danger. The only way to pull it off is to agree to be in the same room with her, so I desperately told Lilia-san that she would be in the room with me.
　You've got to be able to get the best out of it.

　Dear Mom, Dad - what can I say, I've been stepping on and kicking around today, really - how did this happen?
