By on • ( ) This Hero is invincible but too cautious - Volu and Resolve

A few days have passed since Napoon decided to be an Eta in order to die

Today, the God's realht onAt a distance, I saw that John Dae and Kiriko swung their wooden swords, while Celseus brought tea at his cafe's garden table where Aria and Adenela chatted together

Such a peaceful daily life However, I felt that Aria stiffened i air was dense

「What's wrong, Aria? 」

When I approached her and asked what happened, Aria looked at e for you froency」

「Ye…Yes! I understand! 」

I rushed straightaway to the temple where the room of the Great Goddess Isister was located My heart was beating violently

When I opened the door, she changed her usual cal

「Arteh! At…At last…!

”An urgent call froiven the current circumstances”…Of course, I felt an ominous premonition about it Still, my heart wanted to deny it My tension was at level MAX

「The De, who had covered himself with a dark haze, temporarily revealed its existence So…」

「I…I…I have to tell Seiya about this! 」

「It seeht now 」

I thanked the Great Goddess Isister and jumped out of her room

—

Just as the Great Goddess Isister told e-looking God

「…No, you see I a about」

It see inforency, so I had to interrupt his conversation

「Seiya!! I have an urgent e fro has finally awakened!!」

「I see 」

The God of Sake touched his cheeks with his fingers

「I don't knohat's happening, but it sounds very serious I shall take my leave now…」

After the God of Sake left us, I iested to Seiya that I could open the portal to Exfolia at this precise moment Yet, Seiya shook his head quietly

「Wait a little longer 」

「What!? You're not going now!? 」

That surprised ht that he wanted to leave i had finally awakened

「Is…Is that so Okay, so just a little longer… 」

It looked like Seiya wasn't ready yet Therefore, I decided it would be a good idea to wait until he felt ready to go…

「Hero You said ”a little longer”, how long is that? 」

I heard a so back, I saw that John Dae and Kiriko were standing next to us Apparently, they were listening to our conversation

「Wha…What's wrong, John Dae? Why do you have such a scary look on your face?」

John Dae spoke to Seiya without paying attention tothat has happened so far, I realize that you carry a huge burden on your shoulders I understand why you want to keep training between battles I heard that your previous failure was the result of your impatience, because you wanted to save Exfolia as soon as possible Still, letyour ti in being here」

「Se…Seiya didn't coht that Seiya would say,「That's right 」 Nonetheless, Seiya reo, he was having a weird talk about souls with the God of Sake as if he were having an unpreoccupied chat I don't think that was a significant conversation that it will help hi」

Given Seiya's personality, I expected him to say,「Noisy, shup up 」, or that he'd splash some tea onto John Dae's face Nevertheless, Seiya avoided John Dae's gaze and turned away

「…I will call you here when I' ly While Kiriko murmured next tofor so”? Kiri, what do you mean? 」

「I don't know But, I can feel it 」

Kiriko's intuitions were always sharp at such ti for

Next day

When I went to Celseus' cafe, Aria opened her eyes hen she looked at me

「Lista…!! Are…Are you still in the God's realled a little given the aard situation, yet Aria came to ht that you had already left!! 」

「Aria…? 」

I saw that Aria's face was extrery she was Aria noticed her strange behavior and immediately put a smile on her face

「I'er than usual…No…Actually, itafter all」

She reluctantly left to so solike that before When I became a little worried about it, Kiriko touched my back from behind

「Miss Lista Excuse me…You see, about Miss Aria… 」

「We…Well, it's expected! I understand why she got angry because we're still in the God's real has awakened!」

「No It's not that It's about yesterday 」

「Hmm? What happened? 」

「Yesterday, when Miss Lista was sitting in the chair at the cafe, I saw that Miss Aria had a very scary face as she approached Miss Lista fro out of her chest…」

「Ehh!? 」

「I…I got scared and dropped the tea cup I was carrying! When Miss Lista heard the sound and you looked back, Miss Aria looked iht…!! What on earth was this story!? What was Aria trying to do behindwhether to say this or not Actually, I don't think that Miss Aria was going to do anything strange to Miss Lista, but…」

「Of…Of course! Aria is like a big sister tocare of ht! Maybe it was just ination! 」

「Yes, yes! You probably h I said that, the ”suspicious Aria behavior” and ” really made my heart extremely unsettled

I was anxious about all of this; therefore, I wanted to ask for Adenela's opinion Celseus was carrying a coffee cup to Adenela, as alone at a garden table

They both frowned for some reason when I approached them

「Li…Lista It…It's not that easy for me…me to say this, but… 」

「Eh, what is it? 」

「We…Well…Ah, nothing Yes, nothing at all I…I don't know… 」

「What on earth is going on!? 」

I yelled, but Adenela aze away froh

He suddenly started to cough

「Celseus!? 」

「It…It's nothing! I'h 」

He put his hand on hiswith the attitude of these two…Ehhhhhhh!?

When I looked around, I saw that the Gods in the plaza stared at e faces! When our eyes met, they looked doardly! My spine froze because of this odd at with est deity, the Goddess of Destruction, passed by the plaza wrapped in chains I felt desperate, so I ran to Valkyrie in order to seek an answer

「Lady Valkyrie!! Please, help me!! This is weird!! All of the Gods look at e faces!!」

Then, Valkyrie wrinkled between her eyebrows

「You're the strange one, Listarte…Today, I' my motivation because of you」

「Wha…What do you mean!? Please tell me!! 」

「I will say it clearly since no other God has the guts to do it Listen well, Listarte… 」

Then, Valkyrie pointed at me

「You stink so badly!! 」

「Ahhhhhhh!? 」

”Stink”, she said…Did sheme because I smelled so bad!?…That's cruel, hey!!

「You used to smell a little, but today your stench is really intense!! Go take a bath!!」

「Tha…That's rude!! I take a bath every single day!! 」

I never took proper baths while in Exfolia, therefore, I tried to washof which, wait, wait a minute!! I just woke up and took a shower today!! Even so, I s!? No, no!! No ht about it, this didn't make any sense!!

At that time, I heard a loud voice froo! 」

「I…I refuse, Miss Aria! I won't allow you to hurt Miss Lista! 」
