Chapter 225: A Conversation with the Goddess 2
“Which country were the heroes born this time?”
“The three countries are the Holy Taglion, the Military Kingdom of Galatein, and the Anatite Ore Kingdom. You were reincarnated in the Kingdom of Lingaria because that was the only place where there were no heroes.”
I began with a light question. Apparently, no heroes were born in our country.
“The oracle no longer looks for heroes in this way?”
“Even if it’s a country that strongly believes in me as a goddess, they won’t search for heroes in this way.”
By the way, even if the oracle told them not to look for hero, they wouldn’t be looking for a hero! they looked for a strong child, and it happened to be a hero! They can make any number of quibbles about it. Therefore, they say, “Don’t look for them in the way we did last time!” They’re not listening to the goddess.
And here’s the question that directly pertains to me.
“How strong is the hero?”
Ad
“As a goddess, I can’t go into detail about any one individual, so I’ll just give you the general idea that at this point in time, even Shana-chan can beat them one-on-one. But that’s just at this point in time. Be aware that sometimes heroes grow rapidly in battle.”
Is there even such a thing as a hero’s correction…? That’s pretty cheat. Can’t I earn the title of hero too?
“But can those demons be subdued with that kind of strength?”
No matter how you look at it, I don’t think the heroes can beat Im, Ryu and the others. Or rather, I don’t think the three of us could beat Ryu alone, even if we joined forces.
“I don’t expect that much from the heroes. It’s impossible to deal with strong demons and demon kings that appear suddenly and unexpectedly just by giving them one such title. Ah! But of course, I’m expecting a lot from you and the others, Zeros.”
It seems that this goddess just gave them the title of hero and left the rest to them.
“Besides, the skills I gave them at max skill level don’t evolve, you know.”
That means, for example, that no matter how much you have a heroic swordsmanship Lv. max and how much you train it, it will never evolve like my swordsmanship Lv. 1.
“Then I have one last question. Is there any way to release the spirits who have contracted with the heroes?”
This is what I want to ask the most.
“Yes, there is.”
Ad
“Oh great…”
I was relieved. I wondered what I would do if she told me there wasn’t a way.
“Only you, Zeros can release them.”
“Only me?”
“Yes. The only way to do that is to not lose even once to the heroes, because if you lose even once, the heroes will see you as a lower rank. If that happens, it’ll be too late.”
To be honest, I don’t really understand what the goddess is trying to say from this explanation alone. But at any rate, I understood that in order to free the spirits, I mustn’t lose to the heroes.
“Then I’ll never lose.”
“Exactly. No matter what kind of tactics the heroes use, no matter how unfavorable the situation may be, losing is unacceptable.”
I don’t know what this goddess sees, but she said that to me with a serious expression on her face. I just nodded my head, keeping those words firmly in my mind.
“The spirits are not at fault at all this time. It’s my fault that this happened. So at least it’s a gift.”
Ad
The goddess stood up and put her hand on my head as she said that.
“What? What…gyaaaaahh!!!!!”
Then I felt a strong pain that I’d never experienced before, as if my whole body was being rewritten from the inside out.
“I knew it would hurt here too…”
“What are you doing…!?”
I complained to the goddess as the pain disappeared, but it felt strange that my body was lighter than ever.
“Check your status for your gift when you get back.”
“Oh …….”
I would absolutely blow it if my skill level was down again.
“Ah! Time…! There’s no time for my reward!”
The goddess suddenly started to make a fuss. From what she said, I guess I’m about to be sent back.
“I’ll tell you this for the last time! Be careful with Claudia’s sister, the saint! And, Sophie……”
“…… hmm?”
I heard that much and came back to the original church. Was she going to say something about Sophie at the end? I don’t know, because I couldn’t hear the end.
“Phew…ahhh.”
I was about to stand up when I felt the same pain all over my body as before. I cringed involuntarily, but managed to hold back my voice. Come to think of it, that goddess said, “Does it hurt here too? In other words, she knew the pain would come over here too….. Remember that the next time you see me……
I left the church when the pain subsided. Then I went to Sophie who was standing in front of the church looking worried. I can’t wait to check my status…

“He was just staring this time…. He stopped cursing halfway through… Ah! If only he had hit me properly instead of me avoiding at that time. ……”
The goddess muttered to herself in the space left alone by Zeros’ departure.
“I wonder if he was able to hear my warning all the way through?”
I think his consciousness will change considerably depending on whether or not her heard that one.
“I’m going to be busy now…”
Just inviting him here would have been a big problem if the other gods found out, but I even gave him a gift. This is a work of concealment that will keep me busy for the foreseeable future.
“But considering that this never-ending business was also given to Zeros… well, it’s not so bad…”
The goddess then set about the task of covering Zeros’s tracks. After all, the only thing is the last word. Is there any way to tell him? She was too busy to do it now, but she wanted to at least get the message across before he had to fight the heroes.
She wanted to tell them to act as if everyone except Sophie is an enemy. ……
