Chapter 14 – Natural Enemy
An ishi+bitsu is a japanese funerary urn made of stone They’ve been around for at least a millenium
Picture of an ishi+bitsu with its lid: fufufufuco
When the day broke, I put on the robe that I had draped around my body, and headed to the bathroo as I’o to bed, I drape the robe around me in place of a blanket
After washi+ngrid ofarea that was part of the kitchen, and found that Tena was already in there preparing breakfast
“Morning”
“Ah-, good , Anri-sama”
When I called out to her, she replied back energetically
When I sat at the dining table, my breakfast was carried over towith salad and soup; a healthy breakfast If I had to be greedy, then I’d have liked a japanese-style breakfast, but since there’s no rice norit wouldn’t help
Tena set down the same meal on the other side of the table, and then sat down as well Because she kept firet her to eat with me, but now its basically hoe spend every breakfast I’h on me to have somebody stand behind me while I eat breakfast by myself
“Itadakimasu”
“Itadakimasu”
Noenerally delicious I’ve decided not to ask Tena yet what her life in the village was like, but judging from her personality, she probably earnestly helped her parents
“Speaking of which,”
“Yes? What is it?”
“Does ‘Sacred Goddess Sophia’ ring any bells?”
“Sacred Goddess-sama? Well, of course, but…”
When I gave that question a try while eating, I found out that apparently, the deity worshi+pped in the standard religion for this world, the Sacred Light Faith, was the Sacred Goddess in question She was apparently the deity that created this world, fights against the Evil God as the Goddess of Light, and guides the people through divine protection and divine revelations Those who receive particularly strong divine protection beco, the being born fro calamity to humanity
“U-, Um… of course I swear loyalty, to you, Anri-sama! Sacred Goddess-sa-, Ito me!”
“I don’t reallyher Sacred Goddess-sama”
Perhaps because she , but Tena followed up on her words in a fluster Although it was the cost of saving her life, I did give so like the divine protection of an evil God to Tena, so I had decided that I needed to tell her that the power came fro froh
Only, unfortunately I’iven too much power by an evil God, so it’s not like I’, and as long as it doesn’t harm me, I’d rather her try her best to beat the crap out of that evil God, really
“Do you know anything about the Hero?”
“Hero-sa-… I mean, the Hero? I’ve heard that the Hero is a special person who’s received divine protection, and fights with the De to defeat him Also, if I remember correctly, when Obaachan’s Okaasan was a child, there was a great celebration across the nation because the Hero had defeated the De”
Eh? The Deated?
I don’t know about the average lifespan in this world, but I think that Tena’s great-grando at the very least Going by his age, the Hero that’s invading this dungeon should be a different person In that case, as he given divine protection? Could it be that there’s another De?
“Are there lots of Des?”
“No, at the very least, I have only heard of one Only, the priest that ca is defeated, he eventually revives”
I see, the Deo has revived, and to defeat that, the [current] Hero Arc was chosen to face him?
“Do you knohere the De is?”
“I don’t People say that in the De Castle, and he’s in there”
“Demon Race Territory?”
“Ah-, yes The western part of this continent is controlled by the demon race The eastern side are divided into a number of human countries, but they say that all of the De”
After that, once I asked in ed to the Kingdoht in thein theto it, but if the east and west are divided up between the hu in the middle makes it the front lines I wonder if on the way to the Deeon and dropped by here
Or more like, I wish they would avoid detours like this and just go fight the Deo
