✦ Endo & Kobayashi ✦
Chapter 43
“…It’s nice that from here on we’re lucky, but still…”
I muttered so while turning off the game console and Kobayashi, who sat beside me, slowly nodded.
“It was unexpectedly small, and the effect of her affection was also questionable. Lilena, the Ancient Witch and Goddess of Creation.”
“Right… It feels like her titles are just an exaggeration.”
The moment Kobayashi nodded at my words with a straight face, I unconsciously let out a sigh. Today is Saturday. We gathered at Kobayashi’s house early in the morning with lots of energy and accepted the challenge.
Everything was unexpected, including the development of what had happened and what would happen from there on out. After all, that was supposed to be a direct confrontation with the last boss.
I was still afraid of what would happen if someone died even though we had prepared a fighting power like never before, to the point of Professor Leon joining in as well. Hence, I prayed for everyone’s safety. Kobayashi probably had been doing it as well.
But, as it turns out, the last boss is that clumsy Goddess who’s madly in love with Liselotte just like us, a person who made us let out a sigh. I honestly thought that she’s certainly amazing as she somehow knows all the circumstances by using her Goddess power, including my unrequited feelings, which I had to stop her abruptly, wait no, that made me downhearted though…
“Now that you mention it, wasn’t Professor Leon too pitiful?”
After spilling my sudden thought, Kobayashi, who was buried in the sofa while staring blankly, got up and nodded.
“He went to the trouble of disguising himself and came all the way from the shadow…”
“Seriously, that clumsy Goddess… Prostrating isn’t enough for that…”
Siiigh, our long sighs overlapped with each other.
“Well, in any case, we need to go meet Kuon Kirisato and get the Evil God, Kuon’s soul out of him.”
Kobayashi declared so, and made a small guts pose to keep her in spirit.
“Evil God, huh… Well, can’t deny that. The problem is how to get there… As expected, the university? But what happens after we meet him and pull out the soul? Won’t it be bad if people see us?”
《 If possible, it’s better for you two to stay in a hidden area. It might take a while for Kuon Kirisato’s soul to return to his body, so he might faint for a while. 》
Both of us froze, having suddenly heard Goddess Lilena’s voice, who was on the TV up until a while ago. However, the TV and the game console in front of us had been turned off.
Rather, was it from outside the room? No, I don’t know where it’s coming from.
《 Well, the two of you are now all lucky. Because. of. me! So you’ll probably be able to find the perfect time where Kuon is likely to appear just by wandering around! 》
The Goddess, Lilena, continued so with a proud voice, as if she was showing her smug look with just her voice.
I see, so this is what she means by her love…
It’s a bit disappointing to call her a small being and clumsy while her partner is called an Evil God. Though, I’m not willing to correct it.
“Ueeeh, I’m being possessed by Goddess Lilena… No waaay…”
Kobayashi murmured with a complete sour look.
“Let’s catch Kuon quickly. With this, you’ll stop peeking at our lives, right?”
When I replied, the Goddess let out her voice in a panic.
《 Wawawah! T-There’s no problem! I gave my love to both of you, so I can only see the situation where both Miss Kobayashi and Mister Endo are together! I can’t interfere with individual privacy! Also, like what Mister Endo had said, if I finished sealing Kuon’s soul here, I swear that I will stop disturbing both of you from there on! A goddess doesn’t lie!! 》
Well, I guess that’s fine? Though, this is quite awkward… Being peeped on and interfering as one pleases… Finné and Sieg endured this really well. Was it because they believe in a god? Though, the Goddess herself doesn’t feel like a goddess at all.
《 Ah…! 》
I heard the Goddess mutter as if she noticed something. I frowned, and Kobayashi tilted her head waiting for her continuation.
《 U-Umm, a goddess won’t lie but, she can still make some mistakes… 》
She let out a ‘hehehe’ laugh with a cheery voice as if she’s rubbing her hands to curry favor with us, which made my face become even grimmer.
“That’s right. You accidentally made a mistake and tried to destroy the world that you called your own child, right?”
Gan!
A bumping sound was heard somewhere after I gave out my sarcasm. Perhaps Lilena’s forehead has sunk into the ground once again.
《 Forgive me! Umm, that, I’m sorry! Just for once! I was just wondering if I can interfere at that side after Kuon’s soul is sealed just for once! 》
The Goddess mumbled so.
“What do you mean by for once?”
Kobayashi asked while pouting.
《 That, umm… The ‘Game’, I would like to at least let both of you see the weddings of Liselotte and her friends after Kuon is sealed or something like that… 》
Lilena said so while gradually lowering her voice. Kobayashi and I quickly matched our eyes and nodded at the same time.
“I definitely want to see it! Let us see it! I also want to, uhh… give my blessing? to them as well!”
“Rather, it’s to the point that it should have been us who ask for it. We beg of you, Goddess.”
When Kobayashi and I said that with vigor, the Goddess let out a happy voice.
《 If that’s the case! I will temporarily call your souls into this world with my power! 》
The Goddess voiced out her excitement along with a snort as if she’s feeling enthusiastic.
“Fufufu, yeah, by all means~”
Kobayashi is truly enjoying this.
“Take us there and put us back safely, okay?”
I was a little worried about entrusting our soul to the clumsy Goddess, so I gave her a warning.
《 Of course! I will carefully pull out and put back the soul of the two of you who are my, Lady Liselotte, and this world’s benefactors! If possible, I will practice transporting souls across the two worlds using Kuon’s soul several times! 》
Is that even humane? Though, he’s the source of all evils and an adulterer bastard, so I guess she’s fine with it…?
“Then, to join Lize’s wedding ceremony! I’m ready to catch Kuon’s soul anytime!”
Kobayashi stood up and declared so happily.
“Ooh!”
I yelled and thrusted my fist up while sitting on the sofa. While also thinking that this has become no more than insect collecting even though it was supposed to be a serious development to capture the soul of an Evil God.
Please let me know if there’s anything inconsistent or that needs further editing/corrections!!
