Chapter 54
Hi~, its been a while.
Before my eyes was the goddess.
And beneath my feet was Marquekt, as seen from outer space.
It was the regular place, the goddess room.
After the duel against Gazaine, I cooperated with both the children and Nebils companions to restrain the emissaries that we feared could be hostile, like the upper echelon of
We had been prepared to take them on whilst outnumbered at worst, but it seemed that Gazaine being devoured by the Evil God (more accurately, him starting to be devoured) had given them all a great shock, and a majority of the emissaries were stuck in a daze.
Just in case, we decided to disarm and confine them in the section of the underground space normally used as the residential area.
They didnt resist at all as we did so.
I felt it was unnecessary, but Nebils gang kept a watch on rotation just in case.
The residential space only had one railroad to the other areas, so they could easily stand guard with such a small number of people.
Of course, Gazaine and the others whod built the Nest had probably designed the layout with this in mind.
There were a few things that had been outside of calculations.
Firstly, the fact that we failed to catch the Pastor.
I had stationed Miguel and a few of Nebils comrades to monitor the pastor, but she somehow managed to slip past the surveillance and disappeared unawares.
Another thing was that there were a few people who had fallen into a panic rather than a daze, and several of those people ended up rushing out from the Nest.
Since we dont have any spare personnel to send out in pursuit, there was no choice but to let them escape for now.
Based on the circumstances, they are sure to have lost faith in the Evil God, so they wont be any harm I hope.
However, considering the strange things people do when they become desperate, it is also possible that some might kill themselves in despair.
I want to put them under protection if possible, but Im obliged to prioritise seizing the Nest first.
Via the Fairy Hamlet, I quickly messaged Alfred-tousan about the emissaries who escaped, as well as the details of the confrontation with Gazaine.
As soon as the message arrives, my fathers side should be able to think of countermeasures as well.
By the time I finished this series of arrangements, the day had already started dawning.
Immediately after I defeated Gazaine, I vaguely felt a sense of drowsiness.
Of course, its not that I became sleepy after working all night long, but rather it was the sleep growth that came from defeating Gazaine.
Unlike at Ranzrack Fortress, it seemed like I wouldnt fall asleep all of a sudden as long as I braced myself.
That said, I couldnt help feeling heavy the whole time.
Once the aftermath had been dealt with, I entrusted Nebil and Elemia with further matters and decided to get some sleep.
I then commenced sleeping for the first time in four whole months and awoke in a dream where I had a reunion with the goddess, as previously mentioned.
Yeah, it has been a while, Goddess-sama.
Er Its been about four months, huh.
After returning the greeting, I heard a voice from behind me that I shouldnt have been able to hear here.
Eh Ehh!?
Just where is this!?
When I turned around in surprise, Melby was floating behind me looking confused.
W-why is Melby here?
Why I dont know!
I turned back around again, directing a questioning gaze at the goddess.
Oh my.
Melby-san ended up coming with you.
I only summoned you alone, but it seems your connection with Melby was stronger than I thought.
A-and thats why she came with me?
Because Melby-san is a fairy that was formed from a Gift, you see.
Other people Something like Julia-san being summoned together with you, for example, wont happen.
S-so, just what is this situation!?
That pretty person over there is eh, it cant be
Its a pleasure to meet you, Melby-san.
I am the goddess who governs the transmigration of souls, Atrazenec.
Eh.. EEHHHHHHH!?
Melby froze with her mouth open.
The goddess smiled sweetly at Melby, then turned to face me and returned to our conversation.
Id like to take the time to apologise for neglecting you for so long, but the growth sleep this time is brief, so Ill get straight to the point.
First is the customary transfer of skills.
This time your choice is between this, and this.
The goddess extends both hands out at shoulder-height.
Floating in the palm of her right hand was some kind of grey haze, while a red warning light-like thing was calmly rotating in the palm of her left hand.
When I cast [Appraisal], it showed Gift of [Illusion Magic] and Gift of [Sense Danger] respectively.
This time, I can only give you one of these two.
The leader of
Im sorry but the enhancement of your Goddess of Virtues Blessing will have to be postponed.
That cant be helped.
Its my mistake.
I compared the two Gifts and after a little bit of thought, extended my hand towards the Gift of [Sense Danger].
The Gift disintegrated into red particles and was absorbed into my body.
[Appraisal].

Raises the Charisma of the divine blessing target. Increases the persuasiveness of the divine blessing targets words. Titles become easy to acquire. Also, the influence for title conferment to others becomes larger. )
Yup.
I see a variety of things I want to comment about, but lets first check the acquisition of [Sense Danger] (the >> part).
At any rate, the status is long!
If I dont think of a sorting method soon, itll become convoluted
May I ask you the reason for choosing that one?
Although [Illusion Magic] was also attractive, its because I was thoroughly tormented by [Sense Danger].
Even though it looks simple at first glance, its an extremely troubling skill when an enemy uses it.
Besides, with the incident this time, I understood through experience how dangerous it is to be targeted by a skilful assassin no matter how many skills I have.
Well, I dont think there will that many skilful assassins at that level though.
Its good that you were able to deal with them before
If they didnt get involved with you then Santamana would have become the overt kingdom of the Evil God around this time.
A lucky break, huh.
I dont feel that its good that I was targeted by assassins though.
So, Goddess-samas only business is the Gift?
Ive prepared a tonne of questions though
I will naturally answer them, but theres something Id like you to look at before that.
Um, its this.
The goddess snapped her fingers, and something I recognise appeared before us.
