70 – before and after (4)
Under the dense tree, Hergantia was silent for a moment.
Looking at his expression, he seemed very depressed.
“… I was captured by the devil and became a fallen god. Yesterday, countless lives were lost because of me.”
“Were you the giant goddess floating in the sky?”
“… … ”
Her expression contorted with sadness as she nodded slightly without saying a word.
“After being ruled by the demon king, I couldn’t live on my own. Then, thanks to you, I regained my self.”
The memory of vomiting bugs after the demon king died flashed through her mind.
“I wanted to say thanks to you. Also, I wanted to be able to entrust my strength to you.”
Hergantia spread her palms out.
A bright light rose from the palm of my hand, and a splendid sword was immediately summoned.
“The name of this sword is Gigantia. I want to thank you for saving me.”
“To me?”
“I want to help save the world.”
Maru looked curiously and picked up the sword.
I took the sword out of the scabbard, turned my wrist while holding it in my hand, and swung lightly into the air.
Only exclamations came out.
‘Hey… Good?’
It is a light and nice sword.
A famous sword at a glance.
The well-groomed appearance seems to say ‘I am the sword of God’.
“I… by the way. Isn’t there an ax instead of a sword?”
“yes?”
“I’m into axes rather than swords these days. The ax got sharper.”
“I’m sorry. I am beyond the sword… ”
“Oh is that so?”
“Don’t you like it?”
“No, no. I like it. I needed a sword, but I’ll use it well. Thank you very much.”
It’s a pity that it’s not an axe, but I wanted to have it because it’s a famous sword given by God.
it might come in handy someday
“This is all I wanted to say. Then I’m done.”
Suddenly she turned and walked away.
Eh? Is this all?
I was dumbfounded because the conversation felt like it ended too quickly.
Were you just thinking of giving a gift?
The revelation rang again in Maru’s ears.
– Take her.
But Maru hesitated.
What am I supposed to do with her, who is weighed down by the heavy guilt of killing innocent people?
At that moment, the conversation I had with Audrit last night flashed through my mind.
“I thought I was killed by the demon king, but how did you come back to life?”
“When I closed my eyes and opened them, I was trapped in water droplets and floating. I was flustered and flustered when suddenly Belkran-sama came to mind. I felt like God was protecting me. There’s no other way to explain it other than that. right?”
What’s wrong with listening to God’s word?
Maru quickly ran and blocked Hergantia’s path.
“Wait!”
“… … ?”
“What are you planning to do in the future? subsequent action. Who are you meeting or is there a place you must visit?”
“Leaving the city… ”
“Go out. After that?”
She said moxibustion.
“… Trying to find a way to die. Since I am a god, I cannot die without using a weapon that can kill a god. So, whether it’s finding that weapon or looking for another way, I’m trying to find out.”
“Are you in such pain?”
“yes… ”
“Haven’t you ever thought of living a life of atonement?”
“I deserve to die and disappear as soon as possible. Even the gods will consider me ashamed.”
Her voice was calm as she answered kindly with an expressionless expression.
His empty eyes seemed to have no interest in anything but death.
He really seemed like someone who had given up everything.
It was pitiful.
“Then how about this one?”
Maru first thought of blocking her will.
“I will kill you.”
Her eyes, which had been staring into space, shook and looked directly at him.
“Can you kill me?”
“There is one condition. only 100 years. If you go with me for just 100 years, no more, I will kill you when you want.”
“… … ?”
she looks up curiously
“Why?”
“I need your help in many ways. 100 years is nothing to the gods who live indefinitely, right? It will be a fleeting moment.”
Actually, I don’t know how to kill God.
For 100 years, I only thought of fixing that broken mental state by giving them true education or mental education.
“I will kill you so brutally that you feel relieved. I will mercilessly and cruelly present you with violence worthy of your sins.”
“Ahh… ”
Her eyes trembled.
A faint smile formed on his lips.
I was really hoping for that.
‘I wonder how happy death is when the wound is deep.’
I will never let you die
“Don’t worry any more, just follow me.”
“If you are the one who defeated the demon king… It would be possible to kill God.”
She nodded.
“good. I will follow you for another hundred years. After that, please kill me.”
“yes. Surely.”
I’m sorry, but I think I’m going to die first.
Anyway, with this, the sword goddess Hergantia joined the party.
Maru looked up at the sky with a satisfied smile.
‘Are you satisfied?’

“Princess!”
Baroness Osmond rushed into the room urgently.
“Well, Maru-sama has gone somewhere with the hero Kiera! Maybe good!”
“okay?”
“Are you worried? Did you know?”
“I heard that you were going on a business trip for a while, but I didn’t know you were going with Keira-sama.”
“Old lady! It’s a big deal! It’s a big deal!”
Compared to the boisterous baroness, Audrit was calm as she trimmed the bonsai tree gifted by the elves with scissors.
“What are you doing? Your soon-to-be husband went on a long trip with his ex, so are you going to stay that way?”
“Then what do you do? You should have already left.”
“No, we have to send someone to catch them right away!”
“it’s okay. I trust him.”
Audrit smiled.
“Oh my… ”
Mrs. Osmond stared at me in surprise, her eyes wide open.
“Then wind up! What are you two doing together?”
“There must have been circumstances that could not be avoided.”
“Why do you keep doing this? Did you two break up?”
“yes? ha ha ha.”
Audrit covered her mouth with her hand holding the scissors and burst into laughter as she slapped Osmond’s wife’s thigh.
“What do you mean? I didn’t break up. Actually, because of Kiera-nim, I cried so much in front of the floor that it was ugly. He struggled to convince me each time, and it made me realize that he completely forgot Kiera. If they left together, it must have been a coincidence or there must have been some other reason. But I’m curious. Why did you leave together? I’ll ask when I get back. For now, I will trust him because I think it is love.”
Mrs. Osmond stared blankly with her mouth open.
“Wow… Princess. you have matured You can be a mother now.”
“really? Will he have children right away when he returns?”
“That’s too fast! We have to start with the engagement ceremony!”
Audrit and Mrs. Osmond burst into laughter at the same time.
I heard footsteps outside the room and someone knocked.
“Audrey! Audrey!”
It was Edward.
I opened the door and he came in, proudly sticking out his bare legs.
“Ahahahaha! I shaved off my leg hair with a razor! how are my legs? Do you look like a woman?”
“Welcome… ”
Audrit looked up at the ceiling and put a hand on her forehead.
And I turned to Mrs. Osmond.
“I think it’s time to stop Edward, who is addicted to crossdressing, instead of worrying about her husband.”
***
Upon entering the warp gate at Narundra, we arrived at a port called Nizil.
This was a fishing village inhabited by humans in an area quite far from Narundra.
Perhaps it was because I arrived at the coastal village from an inland city without adjusting to the smell of the sea, but I felt the fishy smell carried by the sea breeze.
“Mr. Raina.”
“yes!”
Reina, who was behind the group, ran up.
“Let’s go to the pier and buy a sailboat.”
“A boat? Where will you spend it? oh no. I will buy it if needed. First, the wallet… ”
Rayna rummaged through her body and suddenly put on a puzzled expression.
“Where have you been?”
“No?”
“yes. weird… ”
Even after searching everywhere, the whereabouts of the wallet was unclear.
After a while, Reina’s subordinate elf approached.
“Looking for your wallet?”
“yes. I must have put it in my pocket… ”
“You spilled it earlier, so I picked it up.”
“Oh yeah? thank god.”
Oh dear.
I heard that Raina is an unlucky person who doesn’t do well in everything she does.
It was almost a big deal.
“Mr Maru. One sailboat is enough?”
“It can be one ship, any ship that is big enough for all of us to ride. Anything too big is a waste of space.”
“All right. Now, let’s go buy a boat.”
Reina proudly took the lead, showing off the energy of the water owner.
Maru looked at the back of the party.
Hergantia, the goddess of swords, silently followed, wearing a hood.
He smiled softly and moved on.
“Maru.”
As Kiera tried to get closer, Lucy and Natalie startled and tried to stop her.
However, soon, Maru’s words came to mind, and both of them bit their lips and retreated as if indignant.
“I have something to tell you.”
Maru did not make eye contact and walked indifferently looking straight ahead.
“What.”
“I stopped adventuring because you didn’t like it. And I cut off ties with the Toledo family because they seemed to hate it. I don’t like talking to other guys, so I won’t talk to anyone other than you from now on. If there’s anything else you don’t like, tell me. I’ll do whatever you want. It’s okay to make a loner with no social life. Because I have enough of you.”
The moment Maru heard her words, ‘When did I stop you?’
“I don’t care what you do, but what did you do? did you forget it’s us man I will get married soon.”
When Maru replied dryly, her expression changed to sorrowful.
“Don’t marry her. marry me will you abandon me Are you really going to throw it away? Even when we broke up, I always thought of you. We broke up, but I thought it was only a brief farewell. I really didn’t know in my wildest dreams that you could easily get away with it. What did you like about that girl? Do you have bigger breasts than me? You said that my breasts are big and pretty. Remember when I said that nipples taste sweeter the more you suck them? Even now. Or do you have a better personality than me? sorry. I’ll do better than she does. please don’t throw it away I can’t be without you please don’t throw it away If abandoned… will die I’m going to die. I am really going to die.”
OMG…
Maru was embarrassed inside.
It wasn’t easy talking to Keira.
It was several times harder than when I was dealing with Lucy and Natalie, maybe because I was my ex-girlfriend.
The more we talked, the more I felt like my mentality was robbed.
I was exhausted from the absurdity of every word that came out of her mouth.
“Maru, are you listening to me? Why don’t you make eye contact while talking? don’t ignore make eye contact I beg you not to do that again. Even if everyone else abandons me, it’s not as good as Maru you. no way. Say no.”
Kiera, who acted so cold and indifferent,
Even if it has changed, it has changed too much.
“Are you done talking? Let’s walk quietly now. My ears are tingling. I want to go to the pier without a word.”
The strength of the warrior must be the cause.
no way
My bro Edward embraced the world of and became the femboy prince.
