Chapter 188 (2/2)

“So, Goddess of Sea, I’m currently in a bit of a hurry so, can you tell me where Navirio and company is?”

“Please wait a moment…”

After saying that, the Goddess of Sea lowers her head as if looking for the presence of something, and just for a moment lets out her divine aura. After she finishes, she slowly raises her head and signals her finger towards the opposite side of the island, towards the open sea.

“They seems to be about 10 km from here in that direction. In there is a maritime city build by the pirates named Sealance. They seem to be captured over there…”

Hoho… There is a place like that…

“That is where you could say that the pirate stronghold is. Over there you can say that everyone is an enemy except for Navirio and company who you are looking for… I don’t think you need to worry but, please take care.”

“Don’t worry!! Thank you for telling me.”

Let’s see, about 10 km… Well I think I can get there without a problem. While I was starting to do some warm ups, the Goddess of Sea claps her hands as if she remembered something.

“That’s right, can you lend me your hand?”

“My hand?”

I stop my warm up and extend my right hand towards the Goddess of Sea. She takes my hand, looks downwards as if praying, and tenderly wraps my hand with both her hands. I got startled by the sudden action but she immediately releases my hand. What just happened?

“With this is all good. We have established a contract.”

“… Contract?”

What’s with those dangerous words? I didn’t hear anything. Or rather, can’t you tell me from the begining if you are going to do that? I’ll be sure to refuse.

“Please look at your palm.”

I look at my palm as I was told and in there I see some magical array or crest with a geometrical pattern.

“What is this?”

“The proof of the two contracts. The first one is to formally adress you as the messenger of us Goddesses and now you will more easily contact with us, and it also raises your status… Although I don’t know if with that you are going to be able to defeat the Evil God…”

… Eh? I became even more powerful? Or rather, even with my status raised and with deification is still uncertain whether I’ll defeat the Evil God? Just how powerful is that Evil God…? Well, I’ll still fight…

“And the other one?”

“… *whisper*”

… Mh? It was so quiet, I didn’t hear.

“What was that? I didn’t hear so can you please repeat it?”

I ask to confirm but the face of the Goddess of Sea becomes red and starts to disappear.

“I think this is the limit for my manifestation… I have to reserve power to confront the Evil God…”

You use the ‘Anti-Evil God’ excuse quite a lot, I see… Do you think that everything will be okay with just that?

“I’m sorry but you haven’t answered me. What’s the other contract?”

“… The right to take us Goddesses as your wives.”

The Goddess of Sea disappears leaving those words with a crimson face…

You tricked meeeeeeeeee!!

Guuhh!! She already left and I have to hurry so I have no way to complain… Wait a minute… I’m sure she said that this crest allows me to contact the Goddesses at any moment…

Great, let’s complain later… I won’t do it now because I’m in a hurry…

I finish my warm up exercises and once again dash over the water in the direction the Goddess of Sea pointed at.
