First of all, the areas to the north, east, and west of Hateyama are
undeveloped and there are no inhabited villages. People live only to the south
of the mountain.
The Hatayama
Branch is located in the south of Hatayama and is the closest to Hatayama. Between
the Hateyama branch and the royal capital <Nord>, there are a number of
villages where people live. Each village may have a few soldiers stationed
there, but the fighting ability of the High Goblins is comparable to that of a
human soldier, and it is easy to imagine that a village would be in ruins if
attacked by a swarm of High Goblins.
「The six
teams originally scheduled for vacation will split into three teams to the
southeast and three teams to the southwest to deal with the overflowing monster
from Hateyama. The rest of us will be staying at the Hateyama branch to deal
with the monster that are trying to move south!」
Even though they knew that dispersing their forces is a bad idea,
they couldn't overlook the possibility of their village being overrun. Mizer's
intentions had been conveyed to the staff of the Hateyama branch, and they had
no objections to Mizer's orders.
**a
「Yes!」
「Okay, we'll
go to the southeast」
「Then we'll
go to the southwest for balance」
If anything, the staff's hearts are ablaze with excitement over the
adversity. This is due to the fact that the staff of the Hateyama branch are
former high-ranked adventurers and knights, and even though they are now guild
staff, they are still fierce enough to work in the most dangerous Hateyama
branch. There is not a single one of them who would spare their strength for
the sake of the helpless people.
「Come back
here when you're worn out. I'll have potions ready for you. The same applies if
you are injured. Iren, go to the Adventurer's Guild headquarters in <Nord>
and send an urgent request」
「Understood,
Branch Leader」
Mizer feels relieved as the staff members begin to move as
instructed, but his face remains stern.
(The question
is, what to do with the dragons. I want at least 5 parties... about 20 people.
But not just anyone. I want them to be as skilled as possible...)
At the moment, he can't rely on his staff to deal with the dragon.
It's obvious that if he didn't take action now, the situation would fall
behind, but there is nothing he could do.
(I have no
choice but to replace the staff with the adventurers who received the urgent
request. I can only hope that reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible)
If the adventurers who received the urgent request would defend the
village, the staff of the Hateyama branch would be free. Then, Mizer thinks,
the dragon can be defeated.
「Branch
Leader Mizer! If there's an urgent request, we'll be there!」
「Thank you.
If <Running Wolves> can join us, that would be great. I'll send out a
request right away, so check it out」
「Yes!」
While Mizer is giving the orders, Alvin and the others are
discussing and deciding to cooperate with the unusual situation that occurs in
Hateyama. As adventurers and honorary knights, they could not overlook it,
Alvin said, and Shinji and the others agreed with him.
Suddenly, Shinji had an unpleasant suspicion. Could such a large
anomaly really occur naturally? He wondered. The disturbance at the mines in
the Este, east town had also been accidental, although it had been quite large,
so Shinji sent a thought to Flair, thinking that he might be overly concerned.
『I wonder if
I can get in touch with the Goddess』
『Mm? Wait a
bit~noja...』
He waited for a while. But Flair's response is not good.
『Muu, I can't
reach her right away~noja. The Goddess probably busy, out of commission~noja』
『Keep trying
to reach her. If it's only a groundless fear, then so be it...』
『So, Shinji
thinks the outside world is involved~noja. Understood~noja』
『Please take
care of it』
Shinji asked Flair to help him while watching the exchange between
Mizer and Alvin.

In the divine realm where gods live.
Goddess Arian prevented Satin's magic attacks, and sometimes cast
counter-magic. Flair's thoughts did not reach Goddess Arian because she was out
of her temple to intercept her. And the voices from the world controlled by the
gods are designed to reach her only when she is inside the temple.
「Hihi...
Arian...! Today is the day...!」
The Goddess Satin, who had been a black sphere until now, took the
form of a person.
Her black hair is long, and her bangs completely cover her eyes,
creating an eerie atmosphere. Her body is thin, with only a few bumps and
bruises. She is dressed neatly, wearing only a thin black sleeveless shirt and
a black miniskirt, but the atmosphere makes her look frightening. The wings of
light on her back, the sign of a goddess, are also black.
The Goddess Satin, with her eerie smile, is all in black.
「*Sigh...* go
away, spoiled goddess. I don't have time to deal with you. Please don't make me
waste my time」
To counter the humanoid Goddess Satin, Goddess Arian also
transformed from a glowing ball of light into her human form.
Her long, silver hair, shimmering in the light, is extremely
beautiful, and even though it reaches her waist, it is perfectly clean. Her
breasts are as full as Miko Arian's, and her ass is fleshy. Her waist is curvy,
and even her bare legs stretching out from her miniskirt are sexy. The thin
sleeveless shirt and miniskirt she wears are white and match the figure of
Goddess Arian very well. Her wings of light shone so brightly that it was
almost divine, and the warmth of the sun could be felt.
In contrast to the Goddess Satin, Goddess Arian is the embodiment of
a royal goddess. This is Goddess Arian's true form.
「If you give
me your world, I'll go home right away...」
「That's
ridiculous. How long are you going to be a problem?」
「Until you
crawl under my feet...!」
「*Sigh...* I
don't know why I'm such an enemy to you...」
Though she said this, somehow Goddess Arian knew the reason. Goddess
Arian is highly respected by the Great God, the superior of the goddesses. On
the other hand, Goddess Satin had just received a great deal of attention for
destroying the world she controlled.
In short, Goddess Arian knew that Satin's jealousy is the reason for
her entanglement. And her guess is correct.
「It's not
like taking away my world is going to make your reputation any better」
「Shut up...
Shut up...!」
Goddess Arian's words made Satin angry, and she unleashed a storm of
offensive magic. Even if she is corrupt, she is still a goddess. So, her magic
power is uncommon.
Goddess Arian, who saw her attack, sighs once and deploys her magic
to offset the attack. She had no intention of losing the magic battle.
Nevertheless, Goddess Satin would not fight a battle with no chance of winning,
so Goddess Arian kept her eyes on the surroundings.
(I won't let
you harm my world)
But Goddess Arian is unaware that the succubus has already
infiltrated her world, and she is only concerned about the new presence that
wants to enter the temple.
Thus, began the barren struggle between the Goddesses.
- The Adventurer's Guild's response.
- The <Running Wolves> have joined the fray.
- Meanwhile, the Goddess Arian-sama is being tangled up with a bad goddess.
- All goddesses have wings of light. So, winged people are more suitable as priestesses because they have wings (Yoriko is a special case).
- Extra chapter from Vols. 3 and 4 has been added! You can check in on vol3 and vol4.
- There's a new project in the works. It's kind of Boku no Hero, but with an adult twist. The table of contents can be found in here.
