Chapter 122 (1/2)

[Yer late—]

A small grumble came out of Oyamada Shougo’s mouth.

[Please accept my apologies, Oyamada-san.]

[If Goddess-senpai isn’t a beautiful woman, I’m sure he would have spoken more obscenities~]

[Ara ara, I guess that’s the advantage of being beautiful~]

[Well, anyone would be lenient since there’s that line about forgiving beautiful women~]

The girls in Asagi’s group murmured.

[You’re the worst…]

[Shut up.]

[I guess Oyamada’s win rate with a face like his would be about 7 out of 10 at best.]

Asagi speculated.

It seems her own group also had bad thoughts with Kirihara’s group.

She’s quite skillful in manipulating human nature.

It’s probably to prevent her own group members from turning over to Kirihara’s group.

[Wait a minute!? Isn’t that guy too handsome!? I bet he could win 9 out of 10!]

There’s a four-person group walking behind the goddess.

Two men and two women.

I could see a uniformity with the four people’s attire.

The girls were probably making a ruckus because of the man walking directly behind the Goddess.

However, they don’t appear to be subordinates of the goddess.

A gigantic man is following right behind the four-person group.

He has a patch of beard on his face.

He looks quite wild.

However, he looks quite easy going.

He has a deeply carved face.

He kind of looks like an actor from an overseas movie.

The tip of the scabbard of his enormous long sword is being dragged on the ground as he walks.

There are eight men and women following behind the gigantic man.

All of them were armed.

Their atmosphere is a bit different compared to the first five people.

Following behind all of them is Nyantan.

With the Goddess in front, they stand in a row behind her.

[Everyone’s level has surprisingly increased. I’m really happy from the bottom of my heart. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for all your hard work…]

The Goddess gracefully bowed.

A supple bow.

After her bow, the Goddess looks back at us.

[…But as your level goes up, only your “basic ability” would rise. Everyone still doesn’t have the combat skills— that is to say, the “technicalities” of battle. Ah, though I say that…]

The Goddess rephrases her words.

[Sogou-san has her prided martial arts, right? When she had lost her sanity and tried to assault me, her skills were still engraved into her memory, right? Yes, of course you won’t forget that. And thus, the responsibility of your actions would always follow you around. Even if you had forgotten about it, that doesn’t mean the other person has forgotten about it. You won’t know when and where the influence of your actions may result in, so please be careful with your actions, Heroes♪]

[Stop getting derailed already—]

Oyamada complained.

As if she’s filled with sorrow, the Goddess puts her hands over her eyes.

[I’m sorry… I was just, umm… Sniff… Oyamada-san, that’s exactly what I’m talking about, you know? Violent acts without any regard for others like that, you may end up regretting it someday once you’ve felt the influence of your actions… Uuu… How cruel…]

[S- Shut up! Oi, you must have a reason to call us here, right!? Stop fooling around and let’s get this over with already!]

[Shogou.]

Kirihara opens his mouth.

[Ahh? What the heck is it now, Takuto?]

[I won’t care even if you bite anyone you see— however, don’t be too wild. You should start getting aware about your inane mannerism.]

[But, Takuto~!]

[Even at that time when you confronted Nyantan, I can’t follow-up when you do something like this…]

[…Tsk! Goddess-senpai, I’m sorry! Please forgive me!]

Oyamada insincerely apologized.

As if nothing happened, the Goddess recovers.

[Just try to act normal, okay? Oyamada-san♪? Now then, for the sake of the impatient Oyamada-san, let’s finish this quickly ♪]

The people brought by the Goddess steps forward.

It seems they gathered to train the Heroes.

It is said that they were summoned from all around various places around this continent.

The goddess continues her explanation.

[They said they were called the Four Revered Saints! By the way, is it true that the four of them were siblings!? Is it!?]

[That means… Agito-san isn’t dating any of the sisters with him, right!?]

[Kyaaaa!]

[So, what do you gals think!? Which is better between him and Kirihara-kun!?]

[They’re too different routes!]

[I know~!]

Some of the girls became excited as they sneak glances towards him.

With that smile still on her face, the Goddess continued explaining.

If they’re being moderate, she’s surprisingly tolerant about their murmurs.

On the other hand though, I am quite excited about a different matter.

(Those Four Revered Saints fellows— all of them were absurdly strong. Even that Banewolf guy who was introduced next is…)
