Chapter 137.3 – Temporary Farewell
“This is the last meal we will have here. I’m going to miss it.”
“It’s true. Everything has been so fresh and fun this past week.”
We talked about this as we looked at the breakfast we had just finished.
It had been a special experience for both of us.
I can definitely say that I will never forget this day.
“Hah, I wish Riste could stay longer…”
“Loki-kun, that’s not allowed, you know? I’d like to do the same, but… Rigal is next, and I have to give you your skill as soon as possible.”
“Oh, that’s right. By the way, when did Rigal-sama say she was coming down?”
“She didn’t say anything specific. So I think you should talk to her tonight.”
“I see. Well, I’ve been slacking off lately, so I think I’ll use Divine Communication tonight to talk things over. As for the rest… if it’s about skills, I should just go to church, right?”
“That’s right. Since I can’t use the highest level of unique blessing when I’m in my split-body form, you have to come to the church at least once. However, you don’t have to come to the divine realm with your soul.”
“Huh? You mean I just have to go to the statue?”
“That’s right. If you go up to that point, the magic of the main body will pass through. However… your body will glow a bit, so you might stand out.”
“Wow! Come to think of it, Alicia-sama’s body also glowed. Then, if it’s no trouble, I’ll go to the divine realm once. I’d rather not stand out, and I’d be happier if I could see your face.”
“…Geez. When you say things like that, I don’t want to go back, you know?”
“Ah, ahahaha…”
This is probably what they mean by a happy married life.
It’s an unknown experience for me, as I have lived alone, but if I can experience days like this, I would like to settle down somewhere soon.
But to do that, I have to find out the true purpose of the goddesses’ descent.
It’s difficult to do that without some kind of discovery or clue as to why the transmigrants are being transported to this world…
“I hope there’s some progress in the search for the transmigrants while I work hard to get stronger.”
“That is true. If this issue is not resolved, I won’t be able to visit you easily, Loki-kun.”
Last night, Riste told me that all the goddesses were waiting for me to become stronger.
That’s because they understand my top priority and won’t interfere unnecessarily while I’m doing that.
So, the descent of the goddesses with me as the point is only once for now.
Alicia-sama, the last one, might be a little difficult, but once the first round is over, I’ll concentrate on the hunt.
And the Goddesses talked about how they want to start a full-scale search for the transmigrants, although it’s not clear how they’ll get around things like the unpopular Palmera exploration and Felin’s travel wishes.
And if we can make progress on both, we’ll see a happy family plan beyond that.
With Riste and probably Felin, I can go out and play somewhere with Ria while having tea with Feeril, and I can discuss strength with Rigal-sama while having a mock battle.
I can’t quite imagine what will happen with Alicia-sama, but I might be able to live such a fun life.
Then I’ll have to become strong as soon as possible, and if I get any information about the transmigrants, it would be best to share it.
That’s what I’m going to do.
There’s one thing that really bothers me.
“Listen, Riste, do goddesses have children?”
I asked Felin this question before.
But now, the situation is different, so I can’t just leave it there, even if it’s impolite of me to ask.
“I’m afraid I don’t know. A long time ago, Alicia said that there is a high probability that we goddesses were created as the base form of humans. Only Rigal is an elf. I guess it’s because we had this appearance before the creation of the races, but if that’s the case, there’s a possibility that our bodies are the same as humans.”
“I see. Well, it’s not something that can be found out easily.”
I would be happy if I could figure it out in the future, but I don’t think I should be too optimistic about it.
To begin with, I don’t even know if I’m biologically identical to the inhabitants of this world, let alone the goddess.
It’s not a matter of being from another world; it’s just a matter of being a transmigrator. Even so, I guess I’ll just have to live with this problem.
“Riste, how long will I be unable to move if I use the highest level of unique blessing?”
“About a month or two, I think. I think you’ll be able to recover to some extent after resting for that long.”
“I see… I kind of expected that, but it’s a long time.”
“But it’s something that has to be done. If you’re going to do it anyway, the sooner you do it, the easier it will be for Loki-kun’s journey, right?”
What Riste says makes a lot of sense.
The whole reason I wanted a map in the first place was because I wanted to travel.
Then, it stands to reason that I should be able to use my skills early on in my travels.
Still…
I couldn’t help but wrap my hands around Riste’s slender waist and press my forehead against his stomach.
It was a small act of resistance, knowing there was nothing I could do about it.
“You’ve become completely dependent on me, haven’t you, Loki-kun? Don’t worry, I’ll come and visit you secretly when I’m able to move again.”
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“I know I can’t come too often since everyone has to put up with it, but I think I’ll be okay if it’s just occasionally.”
“That makes me happy. Then I guess it’s better to go sooner rather than later, so I’ll go to the church tonight, okay?”
“Yes, I’ll wait for you.”
As she said this, she took off the accessories she was wearing, and I watched her in a daze.
This is the last time Riste will be looking for the transmigrator, so we will part ways for a while.
“I really don’t know what to say, but… I’m so happy. Thank you.”
“The feeling is mutual. Besides, we’ll be able to meet again later in the divine realm.”
“Haha, that’s true. I look forward to seeing you then.”
“Of course. See you later.”
“Yes, see you.”
Riste leaned down, and as if on cue, we kissed, and a mist enveloped Riste’s body.
As I looked at Riste, who smiled and then disappeared, I thought back on the events of the past week.
“I guess there was no one happier than me…”
I stand there for a while, but time is limited.
I’m a bit sleep-deprived, but I also want to go hunting, and the church is only open for a limited time.
I go to the storage room and gather my things, including the two accessories and Riste’s shoes that were left by the bed.
Finally, as I looked around the room, I noticed the sofa that Riste liked to sit on.
I wondered why she was always sitting there looking at the scenery.
With this little question in mind and the desire to somehow share this feeling with Riste, I stood in front of the sofa…
“(So that’s what it means.)”
I saw a single cross mark sticking out among the many roofs.
I sat in the same place as nature and looked at the same scenery as Riste for a while.
“(Hah…)”
I shook my head, and with a sigh, I left the upstairs room where I had spent about a week with Riste.
