The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me - The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me chapter 53
I was reunited with a face I thought it had been a while, but I heard an urgent voice before I could feel welcome.
“what?”
I was blown away by the strange development to the extent that I wondered if I had heard it wrong.
“You must leave this kingdom immediately, or your brother is in danger!”
A line that tells you to leave this place suddenly and says it’s dangerous if you don’t leave.
She appeared out of the blue and made a sound that didn’t even sound like a word, so of course I couldn’t believe her words.
However, as if what he is saying is not a joke, he sincerely tries to persuade me with a face full of concern and concern.
“What do you mean all of a sudden? Leaving this country…”

No matter how urgent it may seem, from my point of view, it was difficult to agree with me if I said this without any explanation.
Leave this kingdom, otherwise it is dangerous.
For what reason, on what basis, he should at least explain what he is saying to me, for now, I couldn’t understand it.
“Why do I have to leave? Can you explain it to me?”
In a way, despite the fact that it is a natural request, it seems difficult to delay in answering my question.
“It’s… a little hard to explain…”
With such an attitude, it even feels like there is a plan, and he becomes suspicious of her.
“I don’t know what you want, but first you have to give it a subject, right? You don’t have to at least tell me why you’re saying it.”
It was then that I reached an inner conflict and pondered whether I should say it or not, and then I stopped talking and opened my mouth carefully.
“I heard from Morione…”
Are you Morion?
Embarrassment creeps in at the familiar name.
Does that mean that you have met the goddess of fate that you are procrastinating?
A goddess who can predict the future by looking forward to the fate of others
Did such a goddess say that if I did not leave this country, I would be in trouble?
Another question that arises at the same time
Didn’t she say in the first place that she doesn’t speak out about other people’s fates?
I know that she has her own beliefs and she doesn’t say anything other than her own fate.
“You heard of my fate from Morione-sama? By what means?”
Although not as much as Abne, she is quite famous in the country, so I can’t tell you how she knows it, but…
“Isn’t that goddess the one who will tell you my fate?”
Even in the setting, I was skeptical that she would tell Miru about my fate, who would not break her beliefs unless she was really an exception.
“……”
I wonder if Miru knows that, too, so I don’t know what to say and half shut my mouth.
In the end, it’s a no-brainer.
I don’t know how they found my location, but in the end her words lacked credibility.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t believe you, it’s nice to meet you, but now I have to hurry a bit.”
Passing by her who is trying to block me, I head back on my way.
“Ah…! Wait a minute, oppa!!”
I tried to stop when I saw myself about to leave
“……”
It seems too difficult to convince me even in my own eyes, so I keep my mouth shut.

“Herald? I heard some ominous news from Goddess Abne today…”
Upon arriving at the guild hall, the approaching atmosphere was different than usual.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not only the guild hall, but also the people on the street were all walking down the street with faces filled with anxiety, displeasure, and worry.
Do I have to say that the surrounding air is approaching quite heavily today?
However, if you think about it, it was understandable.
They had heard firsthand that bad things were going to happen to their respective gods in the near future, so it was enough.
Like I did, Erina looked at me with a slightly awkward face, assimilated into the atmosphere of the people around her, as if she had heard the news from Goddess Abne.
“I heard, and given the circumstances, probably almost everyone has.”
He was worried about that, but he nodded his head vigorously.
“Now what… Shall we put down our adventurer job for a while?”
Anyway, I was about to say something, but she spoke first, so it was a good time.
“That’s fine, let’s rest for a while.”
Anyway, my purpose is to advance the main story, and I didn’t have to do any adventurer’s job until the night of ruin happened, so I have to be prepared to do it during that time.
The reason I came here was to make this offer to her, and I was planning to travel around the royal capital and purchase various items.
“I’m going to go buy some things from now on, will you accompany me if I need anything?”
“Ugh… But Harold…”
I wondered if the still subdued atmosphere would become more gloomy, and he calls my name and takes my hand.
“Erina?”
“I have something to tell you…”
As if he was seriously in trouble right now, he lowered his head slightly and wiggled his fingers.
“What’s going on?”
I tilted my head at her, who wanted to say something to me, and I asked her to sit down for a moment, and I sat down to meet her.
“Actually… I had a dream today.”
As she speaks, Erina shakes her shoulders and lips more anxiously than in the Whispering Cave incident in the past and tells me about the dream she had seen.
“Dream?”
“Yeah… a very terrifying and realistic nightmare…”
Having said that, he grabbed my hand again and held it tight so as not to let it go.
What kind of nightmare have you had that you are looking at me with such worried eyes?
“Something was burning all around… It was a very dark night, with blood on the streets, as if in pitch black.”
Even while he was talking about whether he remembered the terrible memories, he was in agony, and even tears began to flow.
“And in the middle of my view, you were lying… With a calm face, darkened skin…”
She gently covers her eyes with the back of her hand, making it difficult to speak.
“And your goddess was holding you and crying sadly, so painfully… sadly…”
When you say my goddess, are you referring to Eleanor?
What the hell were you dreaming of…
“I saw that scene and realized at once, what kind of fate you faced… I only knew what kind of end you met for making me who I am today.”
Looking at the flow, maybe in her dream I met death.
Dyeing the skin dark… There was a lot of room for interpretation, so I couldn’t think of something.
“The memory is over… It may seem like nothing, but it’s a dream so vivid that you believe it’s real until you really wake up and for a while after waking up, so I can’t get rid of the regrets easily.”
When he confessed his anxiety to me, he seemed lighter than at the beginning, but there was still a feeling of vagueness in his eyes.
“Harold…”
Hold my hand even more strongly and beg me earnestly.
“It’s heartbreaking, but something feels strange… I don’t know if the dream will come true, but I think something is really going to happen to you…”
He opens his eyes wide as if he is sincere now and makes eye contact to the extent that it is burdensome.
“Even if you can’t, take care of yourself until the next word falls to your respective god…”
In the end, it makes the eye area moist, even if it is not certain, with anxiety and sadness.
“I’ll protect you, I’m okay with any damage… But I don’t like what happens to you no matter what…”
I bring my hand to my chest, and her rough breath, full of anger, travels through her skin and into her nerves.
“Hey, Erina.”
However, I rather calm her with a calm atmosphere.
“Yes..?”
“It’s just a bad dream, nothing to worry about.”
I raised my voice casually, but Erina stopped me with a more anxious look.
“No, it was a very realistic dream… And there’s nothing wrong with being careful, right?”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nodding her head to that, keeping her calm as much as possible to erase her negative emotions.
“Of course, I will always be vigilant as long as I hear uneasy words from my Goddess.”
“At least I don’t want to think too deeply about my dreams. It’s just a nightmare and I just got some bad news today, isn’t it?”
Then, as if the mist had lifted, the sadness appeared on the face that looked gloomy, but it gradually cleared up in my eyes.
“A dream is just a dream. Rather, it will be worse than you imagined if you can’t face the present because you are concerned about the memories that will pass.”
Perhaps he felt the truth at those words, and again, Erina’s usual self-confidence can be seen.
“Yeah… that’s right, Harold is right… Maybe it’s just a bad dream.”
Fortunately, Erina, who understood what I meant, got up from her seat with a light smile.
“Maybe I said something useless.”
There was still a lingering aftertaste, as if a little refreshed, but most of the anxiety seemed to have gone away.
“Then let’s go around the royal capital together, didn’t you say that you have something to live for?”
However, it also wipes away any regrets that remain neatly for a while, and grabs my hand and lifts me up.
After the story is over, we are about to leave the guild…
My heart!
“Ugh?!”
Anguish that spreads from the heart, a bitter and familiar pain that is short but intense, and runs through the body.
“Harold?”
Without moving her steps, she looks back at me, but I hold on to the pain that has already ended.
“It’s nothing… Let’s go.”
He keeps his expression on her face so as not to cause her as much concern as possible and hastened the way.
◆◆◆
The point of view goes to Eleona’s temple and when Harold was talking with Erina…
“Huh… huh… huh…”
Eleona, who exhaled a breath mixed with pain in the cast, desperately tries to complete a certain magic.
Sweat was dripping down his chin to the point where he wet his clothes with so much enthusiasm.
However…
“This is not it!”
Even after completing the magic, he screams and grabs hold of his hair.
“It’s not like this… Why not…”
With repeated failures, it was impossible to count how many times it was, but nevertheless, her complexion was always bad.
“I can do it… I am a goddess… I must complete it even for Harold…”
In fact, except when speaking with him, Eleanor has been suffering and persevering lately.
He persevered even if he bit his tongue for fear that his weakness might cause concern to his beloved servant.
“Ugh?!”
And what made her so miserable was once again radicalizing her.
“Ugh…!!”
Eleona, who endures the pain while clutching her heart, may have suffered even more from the moment when the servant she loved so much died once.
The bitter pain caused by the curse, in fact, was shared through Harold himself and to the goddess who was connected with him.
“It must be completed… It’s getting worse as time goes on.”
Mumbling to himself, he picks up his clothes and lifts his shoulders.
“It’s subtle, but it’s certain, it’s multiplying more than yesterday.”
Originally, her skin was as white as white jade, but something was strange.
There should be only pure white skin, but strangely, now part of it has turned black and dark like bruised flesh.
In fact… the side effects of the curse didn’t just end in suffering.
This is the true power of the curse, the occasional little pain that is actually only a surface.
The horrific curse that corrupts the very existence itself into darkness, and the identity of pain occurring at regular intervals, occurred in the process of forcibly changing the pure inner self.
“I need to hurry up… Me too, but my servant will suffer too, and he must have felt the pain just because of it…”
He calms himself down again, closes his eyes, and begins to match the new spell little by little.
“Wait a little longer… No matter how powerful the Old Gods are, they will overcome.”
He murmurs a determination that he does not know how many times he has vowed again, and once again creates a new recipe at his fingertips.
