155 Chapter 10. Hermit, Just another beginning (2/2)

”So, you can see them too?” he said pulling off his hood. ”I'm Ogura Shigeru” he held out his hand in a gesture of greeting.

”Haha” Demos laughed ”I'm Demos”

”Can I ask how long you have been in this world?”

”Ahh! Fifteen years”

”What! Fifteen years!?” Shigeru said in shock before calming down

”Who brought you to this world?”

”The goddess” Demos looked at his shrine

”I had also brought by the goddess.”

Mana leaned back as she stretched and yawned. She had watched Demos progress for a while. She wanted to continue watching Demos but felt it was time to move one.

Do you plan to come back?

”Maybe…..Demos is; he is a hermit by nature he lived alone since the fall of Troy after his family was slaughtered. I knew he wasn't going to leave the mountain, But, I was curious…and thought it would be interesting if I put someone like him in this time frame. But for Demos nothing will begin for him unless he leaves that place. But….Its most likely he is going to stay on the mountain.”

You could have told him to leave.

”I wanted him to do it of his own free will. I'm not like the lower gods of that world who brought the heroes of that world there knowing full well they would be manipulated by the human”

Are you any better?

”I at least want them to make chooses of their own free will and not influenced by ideas of others.”

Is that so? But are the Heroes wrong for wanting to be Heroes?

”There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a hero. It's a good thing. But what I hate is for them to think is their responsibility to help. Sure, they were summoned to help, but why do they have to improve.

What's in it for them truly.”

”Elfin, I thought of the next world I should go to,” Mana said after a while.
