Chapter 180 - Stout-Hearted
And then, as we were gathering, she came over to us.
“O Goddess! You’re already awake…”
“I’ve slept well enough, so it’s fine! Now, please let me know if anyone is injured!”
“No, no, no, you’ve been treating hundreds of people all morning and just took a break about an hour ago!”
“Yes, I’m sorry. I’m the only one who had a good rest, even though everyone is having a hard time!”
The one who showed up was Kron.
“Best of all, I’m glad to see that you’re doing well, Earth!”
“Y, yeah… thank you, for my arm.”
“You’re welcome!”
When I woke up, I thought she was sleeping soundly, but apparently she only had a little rest.
Kron, who always showed a healthy and cheerful smile, had dark circles under her eyes.
Her hair is a little messy and she’s obviously tired.
No wonder Elder Sis Tsukshi panicked.
“Everyone, is there anyone whose body is hurting~?”.
“Wait, Goddess!?”
But Kron, without regard for her own body, smiled and cheerfully walked into the square and shouted.
She didn’t say a word about Jamdi’el, the sky, or any of her worries.
The townspeople immediately responded to Kron’s presence.
“Ah… it’s the goddess.”
“Goddess!”
“O, Goddess…”
“She’s so tired… still she smiles at us…”
“What a blessing it is…”
Seeing Kron, everyone clasped their hands together in gratitude and prayed.
Wounded and exhausted, some of them who had been laid up in the square to rest hurriedly raised their bodies and became teary-eyed.
Apparently, even without doing anything directly, her mere presence was enough to support everyone.
“Everyone, I know it’s hard to say how do you do in this situation, but…… please bear with me for now. I’ll do the best I can.”
“Goddess…”
“Ah, uncle, it seems you’re having trouble walking… is it your hip?”
“Huh!? Ah, g, goddess!?
“Right, pain pain, fly away~!”
“Wh, what are you doing? Goddess, you don’t need to use your power on an old man like me! Such a waste!”
“That’s not the case. Isn’t it a waste to not use it even though I have the power?”
Kron entered the square and put her hand on the hip of an old man and channeled her magic. It seems to be a Healing Spell.
Although her chant is sloppy, it still seemed to have an effect. I wonder if my arm was healed by that too.
“Goddess, please rest a little longer!”
“Yes, we’re fine now!”
“The goddess that is probably in more pain than anyone else, with the High Priestess being taken and all!”
“That’s right!”
Apparently, Kron and Jamdi’el were more important to the people of this country than I thought.
This shows just how much Kron has been loved and adored.
I’m sure it’s the same with Jamdi’el.
“THAT?WILL?NOT?DO! Let’s all do our best together!”
Even if, from the perspective of those outside this country, it was completely orchestrated by Jamdi’el, and even if Kron’s existence was seen as a doll, in the end they would still…
“Ku, okay! We’d better get back to work!
“Oraa! How can we just be idle, while the Goddess is working so hard?
“Yeah, that’s right! I’m scared of the sky, but there’s no point in being scared.”
“I’m going!”
Inspired by Kron’s presence, Mortriage’s crew became even more motivated and started running to continue their work.
“Yeah, I guess we should, too!”
“That’s right!”
“Amae, work hard!”
So was Elder Sis Tsukshi and Karui.
I was reminded of the kind of people who live in this country.
“A lot of things are… complicated, aren’t they… Little man?”
“Sadiz…”
“The Six Supremacy, who were the enemies of humanity … and…… that goddess…”
“Yes… they’re so stout-hearted…”
While watching everyone, Sadiz had a slightly complicated expression beside me.
Well, that’s right, I nodded with a bitter smile.
“So…… Sadiz what are ‘you’ going to do?’
For the time being, the people in this country were not left trembling with sadness and fear, instead everyone worked hard toward reconstruction.
Meanwhile, what do we do, as we are not originally people of this country?
“…… just ‘me’… is it? Just for the time being… I’ll inform master and madam in the Imperial City about the Seraphs.”
“…… Well…… that’s necessary…”
“…… And…… Little man, what will ‘you’ do?”
There are actually people who live in the sky. And they had interfered with the surface.
Sadiz can’t keep quiet about this situation. Of course, she will tell father about it.
Meanwhile, what about me?
“Little man, the Heavenly Kingdom was thought to be a fairy tale, so there is no law in this world that prohibits fighting them … but…… it is possible that a single action will lead to a large-scale war.”
“I’m sure you’re right. But what they’ve done is already war itself, isn’t it?”
“So, you’ll pay it back. The sum of those emotions created the war between humans and demons in the past.”
“…… I guess that’s true.”
Even though she was young, she lived in the age of war and knew the sadness of the war.
Since the enemy is not just some random hoodlum, but a race, a country, or a king, there are all kinds of possibilities.
Even though I had already graduated from Sadiz, she still told me so, as if she couldn’t help but say it.
But instead of stopping me because of it, Sadiz…
“Still, do you throw your punch?”
She only told me her thoughts, and then confirmed my intentions.
To that question, I…
“If you’re going to do something stupid…I’ll help you out, Earth.”
“”Eh!?””
“Since I’m just as stupid.”
Then, just before I nodded to Sadiz’s question, a voice interrupted us.
Looking back, there…
“Mr. Machio!?”
“Yeah! I was in bed, but the goddess treated me.”
“I see…”
It’s Mr. Machio.
And Mr. Machio wasn’t the only one who was there.
“I’ll also help, aye. For various reasons.”
“Oh, if you’re going to challenge those jokers, we’ll do it too!”
“We couldn’t touch them with their magic, but this time we’ll give them a proper throw!”
“I’ve heard what happened. We’ll use any foul play we can find to take them down!”
“If you’re not doing it too, can’t you be more reliable?”
“It doesn’t matter what their gender is. If necessary, I’ll wreck their heavenly asses!”
The guys who participated in the tournament, the dojo guys who were at the scene, and dozens of mighty men came to us in droves.
“You guys…”
“I heard what happened while I was out. The master was taken by them. I don’t know the master’s past or her circumstances, but… we didn’t train just to cry ourselves to sleep. We train to protect what’s important and to be able to help if it’s been taken from us.”
“”””That’s right! How can we sit back while our master has been kidnapped?””””
Hmm~? I mean, this~? Somehow, they all went with the flow of things, I’m not sure what to make of this.
“Mr. Machio… are you serious?”
“I would be worried if something like that stayed in the sky forever, and I can’t give up on the master. If there’s a way to get to them, we’d like to be a part of it.”
“You mean war?”
“We will reclaim a loved one who has been taken from us. If you want to call it war, so be it. This country wouldn’t be what it is today without the existence of Master and the Goddess.”
He looked like someone who had absolutely no hesitation, as if he didn’t care if it meant war, he was fine with it.
“Well, next I’ll help with the cooking! I’m going to get the ingredients!”
“Ah, come on… goddess…… okay, am I going too? Goddess, I’ll help you.”
“Yes, please!”
And then I saw Kron running around like a busybody again, and just as she passed us by――――
“Goddess!”
“?”
“Please rest assured! We will definitely rescue the master!”
“Eh!?”
ts!? Hey hey, who the hell was that?!
Just as Kron was about to walk past us, one of the excited men suddenly said something like that.
And when Kron heard it, her eyes opened wide in astonishment.
“That’s… can you do that?”
The smile that she had been trying hard to maintain collapsed in an instant, revealing a weak, anxious, childlike expression that looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Ah, I knew it.
She really was more worried about Jamdi’el than anyone else. She has been worried about it, but she was pushing it deep inside so as not to make anyone worry.
“Earth… can you do that?”
However, once people said this to her, she just couldn’t take it anymore, and Kron asked me.
Then at least…
“What do you want me to do? No, what do you want to happen? What is it you want? Kron.”
I asked, not as a goddess, but so she would express her feelings.
