「It’s been a while, goddess Rena」

「It’s been a while, Chiyuki」

A considerable amount of time has passed since I met Rena previously.

The last time we met was around three weeks ago.

Rena and I are the only individuals in this room inside the temple.

Because Reiji will try to achieve what Rena wishes for if he were here.

Though reluctant, we somehow managed to persuade him.

Now, since we can’t leave Reiji alone, everyone else also left with him.

「What brings you here today, Chiyuki?」

I’m looking at Rena.

Beautiful face with hair glistening like a star; abundant chest that is even bigger than Sahoko. Reiji aside, this beauty is definitely capable of charming many men to do her bidding.

「Yes, I called you here since there is something that I wish to confirm」

The truth is I wanted to solve my quandary by directly going to this goddess’s dwelling in Elios.

But, it seems we can’t go there unless we get permission from the king of gods, Oudith. Thus, I did not have any choice but to summon Rena to this place whenever I have something to ask.

Though Reiji has tried to enter Elios without caring about those things, Reiji eventually gave up when this goddess asked him to do so by slouching and highlighting her breasts.

「First, why have the gods of Elios left the demon king to his own devices？」

I ask the first question.

「It’s not like they have left him to his own devices, but… The gods have their own circumstances, you know」

Rena replies as such with an apologetic expression.

「May I hear what these circumstances are？ 」

「My apologies, Chiyuki. I… can’t divulge that」

From her attitude and response, it seems that she won’t tell me about it.

「So, that’s it…」

「Is that the only thing that you wanted to ask？ 」

Of course not.

「No, there is an even more pressing matter that I wanted to ask」

「An important matter？ I wonder what it could be…」

I take a deep breath, and then open my mouth.

「Goddess Rena, there’s someone else that was summoned aside from us, right？ 」

Upon hearing that question, Rena’s face becomes gloomy.

「So Chiyuki noticed it, huh… It’s as you imagined」

I’m more surprised after hearing Rena’s words.

「As I thought, so it’s true…」

「Yeah, Chiyuki. Even I came to know about this matter only five days ago」

5 days ago？ Knew？

Could it be that the person wasn’t summoned by Rena？

「Goddess Rena, could it be that you are not the one who summoned that person？ 」

「Eh, me？ For what reason？ 」

I’m convinced upon seeing Rena’s reaction. The one who summoned that person is not Rena.

There’s another person who summoned an otherworlder aside from Rena.

Though I didn’t hear the particular details about the summon from Rena, it’s not strange for another person to be capable of performing a summon.

In that case, there’s no need to dig deeper into this.

「My apologies, goddess Rena. It seems that I doubted you」

「？ 」

Rena’s expression changed into curiosity.

Could it be that she never considered being doubted？

Well then, let’s move to a different topic.

「Let’s switch the topic, but there’s something that I wish to ask in the next topic」

「A… wish is it？ 」

「Please send me and Shirone back to our own world」

After hearing my request, Rena is showing a troubled face.

In fact, it should have been “All of us”. However, Reiji absolutely won’t give up on his promise to Rena.

Even so, it’s been half a year already. We can’t continue to remain irresponsible, and should be back immediately.

Thus, as a result, Shirone and I decided to go back.

And then, we will be the ones reporting our safety to everyone’s family.

「So you won’t cooperate in defeating the demon king anymore？ 」

Rena is saying so with moistened eyes.

「It’s already half a year. We can’t stay in this world any longer than this」

「Why is that？」

Rena is pleading toward me. If I’m Reiji, I might be hearing her plea.

But, that kind of eyes won’t work on me.

And then, I suddenly stumbled upon a certain idea.

「Understood」

「So you will grant my wish」

Rena is smiling. It’s as if her smile is capable of making a flower blossom completely.

「On thinking upon it again, there’s another person who used the summoning magic, right?」

When I say about what I thought.

Rena’s expression became more severe than a while ago.

「Chiyuki, what is the meaning of your words？ 」

「If you’re not going to fulfill our wish, I just need to go to that person’s place」
