The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me

chapter 17



Although there was a little crisis, we somehow cleared the Werewolf Quest and returned to the Guild Hall to settle the rewards.

Erina, who looked depressed because of the dead grass, eventually regained her energy and returned to the active character of the game, and was relieved.

“Look at this! I brought in more than the specified amount of Mana Stones, so I got an overtime pay!”

Although the pocket is small, a squeaking sound leaked out when the money bag, which looked quite heavy, was slightly floated.

As an adventurer, I was glad that I had completed the first quest, so I felt quite uplifted.

“And is this a token of your vow to Goddess Abne? The silver crescent is so beautiful that you want to hang the other one around your neck as an accessory!”

There were only two proofs of the vow she had collected, so a total of 50 was needed to receive the rewards up to level 10.

It is said that when you share a oath with a specific god, a oath is created inside the contractor, and the oath is said to have the color and magic that symbolizes the owner.

That is why, when the contractor kills a monster, he or she will drop a token of the pledge with a manastone, and the token resembles the identity of the owner of the pledge.

It is said that Goddess Abne was born under the light of the moon shining with a soft light, and as if to prove it, the token of Abne’s vow is in the shape of a moon that symbolizes the night, and has a silver background with dark borders that signify the vast universe. there was.

“Some people have at least one as a souvenir, but I’ll have to watch it to get bored of it anyway, so it’ll be enough to get it later.”

In fact, even in the game, if you receive all the bond rank rewards, you can no longer obtain a token of the pledge related to the god, so some users get a little extra pledge before receiving all the rewards.

“Hmm~ Shall we do as Harold said?”

While saying that, he shook his head vigorously and immediately began to move towards the temple where the goddess Abne was.

“Now then, let’s go and make an oath to the Goddess!”

Like a child on a picnic, he was overly excited, and his smile as he ran forward and looked back at me gave me a happy feeling.

“Go slow.”

I was relieved right now to see her confidently following her slowly.

◆◆◆

“Hmm, you came back well. My servant, what did you come to see me for?”

When we returned to the temple, Goddess Abne greeted us in a formal way.

“Yes, Abne-nim’s servant Erina Viheria…. I am willing to participate in this meeting to offer you a token of allegiance.”

Erina also recited pretentious lines, knelt down on one knee and bowed her head gently to salute.

Then, holding the two tokens of the pledge obtained earlier in both hands and holding them high in the sky, the goddess smiles quite satisfied and nods her head.

“Even though it was your first journey, you did well. Sir, if you give a little more tokens, I will pay you the price of loyalty.”

At the same time, Goddess Abne stirred in the air, and the token in Erina’s hand became blurred as if it was a mirage, and then disappeared as if it had never existed.

“thank you.”

After bowing her head once more, Erina carefully got up from her seat, and with a warm expression on her face, once again bowed her head and politely greeted Abne.

“By the way, it looks like you’ve been fighting a pretty rough battle, the muddy, broken armor gives you a glimpse of what happened to you.”

And when he talks privately in his own way, he returns to his usual light tone and asks questions to her with interesting eyes.

“No, my condition is nothing more than a word that was suffocated by arrogance without realizing the fraction.

Then, suddenly, he stood up to me, and lost the confidence that had been a little bit entrenched.

“Without him, I’d be shredded and couldn’t come here on two legs, and if something went wrong, I probably wouldn’t exist in this world.”

The fight with the Great Were Wolf was life-threatening and seriously wounded, but as she said it wasn’t as serious as she said, but it seemed a bit over-packaged.

I wonder if it should be said that his voice is something suspicious… Anxiety of unknown origin was resonating, and his eyes seemed to have darkened.

It’s nice that they compliment me, but the thought that I’m so protected makes me feel ashamed of myself for not saying anything, and even makes me want to shut her mouth.

“I tried my best, so I can tell you that you worked hard—”

“No, I did not do what was right. Please rebuke me, Mr. Harold is the cause and blessing that keeps me here.”

At some point, there was a sense of madness in Erina’s voice, and Abne closed her eyes as if something warm in her quiet yet quick words.

“Still, you’ve been brave for me, so I thank you for that.”

Confused, his tone of voice changed back to a formal and hard one, and he took a step back despite the distance.

“Erina… are you okay?”

I can’t stand the feeling of her getting weirder and I try to dry her by holding her shoulder.

“Eh…?! Heh… Harold… Why…?”

Then, in surprise, his face blushed, and he dropped his horse.

“No, the atmosphere is strange, so I don’t think I’m overestimating myself…”

Then she returned to her usual mood.

“Ah… did you? At least I don’t think I did anything…”

I was so self-deprecating and spoke in a low-key voice, but the wind comforted me by saying that it was okay.

“I don’t really care, so you don’t have to be so heartbroken.”

Hearing my words, the color of his face returns and he nods his head vigorously and regains his confidence.

Her emotional changes were so extreme that I doubted if she had a short emotional line…

“Hmmm… Then, if I don’t have a job, can you leave first? I have a little talk with Harold again this time.”

Goddess Abne coughed and appealed for her presence, and this time, she looked down at us with an uncomfortable expression, wanting to say something to me.

“Then I’ll do that, Mr. Harold! I’ll be waiting outside the temple!”

With those words, Erina, who first went out through the door of the audience this time, and a moment of silence continued in the cozy spacious room where the two of them were left. Goddess Abne broke the silence first and opened her mouth.

“What the hell can you do to twist your personality like that?!”

As I brought out the absurdity I had been trying so hard to hide, I began to ask questions as if accusing me.

“I don’t even know… All I did was help and encourage you…”

Then, as if in disbelief, he narrowed his suspicious eyes, but then shook his head and let out a deep sigh.

“I should have told you last time… Erina’s personality is as easily distorted as her heart is easily broken…. Although her expressions are a bit quiet, if you don’t manage it well, it can come back with bad results for you, so keep your will. If I lose it and get it back by you, I will become more and more dependent on you…”

If you think about it, if you have a personality that gets hurt easily, it means that encouragement is easier.

“If you really want a woman named Erina to do well, you need to be more careful.”

At the same time, the door to the audience opens, and the light from over that hallway makes the lecture hall warm.

“Still, your help is not meaningless. Take care, Erina’s growth potential is as extraordinary as her ability.”

“I’m sorry, but I have a question, I know she has tremendous potential, but is she capable enough to say such a thing, Goddess?”

Hearing that, when I asked him a question that had been growing since before, he nodded with a confident expression on his face.

“Yeah… But I’ve only met a handful of people with such abilities over the years, so the sample is scarce, but at least all of them gave the same results.”

“As the saying goes that humans can be destroyed, but never defeated, the concept of ‘will’ in mortals is truly powerful.”

I also bring out words I’ve seen several times in books, reciting human hymns despite being a god.

“The will of mortals has long been a weapon so powerful that even the gods have feared it. It is a holy sword that can overcome any adversity according to one’s will, and can cut even the most transcendent beings.”

Something like the Bible gave me a mysterious feeling of sweetness, and even after a short time, I had several conversations with Goddess Abne.

When there was no more business, I walked towards the open door and delivered encouraging words as if seeing off me, Goddess Abne.

“Then let’s try hard.”

“I’ll do my best.”

After leaving such a short word, the door of the audience closes and he walks towards the light, and with each step he moves, a shadow that blocks the light and grows bigger and bigger comes into his eyes, and Erina stands at the end of the shadow.

I met Erina, who was getting closer, and joined her, and I walked aimlessly together.

“Looking at the sun rising in the middle of the sky, it seems lunchtime has come! Would you like to have lunch with us somewhere?”

With a smile bright like the sun, he leads my hand.
