No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan Chapter 54

“――Hi~, it’s been a while.”

Before my eyes was the G.o.ddess.

It was the regular place, the G.o.ddess’ room.

After the duel against Gazaine, I cooperated with both the children and Nebil’s companions to restrain the emissaries that we feared could be hostile, like the upper echelon of and the Special Forces.

We had been prepared to take them on whilst outnumbered at worst, but it seemed that Gazaine being devoured by the Evil G.o.d (more accurately, him starting to be devoured) had given them all a great shock, and a majority of the emissaries were stuck in a daze.

Just in case, we decided to disarm and confine them in the section of the underground s.p.a.ce normally used as the residential area.

I felt it was unnecessary, but Nebil’s gang kept a watch on rotation just in case.

Of course, Gazaine and the others who’d built the Nest had probably designed the layout with this in mind.

There were a few things that had been outside of calculations.

Firstly, the fact that we failed to catch the “Pastor”.
I had stationed Miguel and a few of Nebil’s comrades to monitor the pastor, but she somehow managed to slip past the surveillance and disappeared unawares.

Another thing was that there were a few people who had fallen into a panic rather than a daze, and several of those people ended up rus.h.i.+ng out from the Nest.

Based on the circ.u.mstances, they are sure to have lost faith in the Evil G.o.d, so they won’t be any harm… I hope.

I want to put them under protection if possible, but I’m obliged to prioritise seizing the Nest first.

Via the Fairy Hamlet, I quickly messaged Alfred-tousan about the emissaries who escaped, as well as the details of the confrontation with Gazaine.
As soon as the message arrives, my father’s side should be able to think of countermeasures as well.

By the time I finished this series of arrangements, the day had already started dawning.

Immediately after I defeated Gazaine, I vaguely felt a sense of drowsiness.
Of course, it’s not that I became sleepy after working all night long, but rather it was the sleep growth that came from defeating Gazaine.

Unlike at Ranzrack Fortress, it seemed like I wouldn’t fall asleep all of a sudden as long as I braced myself.

That said, I couldn’t help feeling heavy the whole time.
Once the aftermath had been dealt with, I entrusted Nebil and Elemia with further matters and decided to get some sleep.

I then commenced sleeping for the first time in four whole months and awoke in a dream where I had a reunion with the G.o.ddess, as previously mentioned.

“Yeah, it has been a while, G.o.ddess-sama.
Er… It’s been about four months, huh.”

After returning the greeting, I heard a voice from behind me that I shouldn’t have been able to hear here.

“Eh… Ehh!?
Just where is this!?”

When I turned around in surprise, Melby was floating behind me looking confused.

“W-why is Melby here?”

“Why… I don’t know!”

I turned back around again, directing a questioning gaze at the G.o.ddess.

“Oh my.

I only summoned you alone, but it seems your connection with Melby was stronger than I thought.”

“A-and that’s why she came with me…?”

“Because Melby-san is a fairy that was formed from a Gift, you see.
Other people… Something like Julia-san being summoned together with you, for example, won’t happen.”

“S-so, just what is this situation!?
That pretty person over there is… eh, it can’t be…”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Melby-san.
I am the G.o.ddess who governs the transmigration of souls, Atrazenec.”

“Eh.. EEHHHHHHH!?”

Melby froze with her mouth open.

The G.o.ddess smiled sweetly at Melby, then turned to face me and returned to our conversation.

“I’d like to take the time to apologise for neglecting you for so long, but the growth sleep this time is brief, so I’ll get straight to the point.

――This time your choice is between this, and this.”

The G.o.ddess extends both hands out at shoulder-height.

When I cast [Appraisal], it showed 《Gift of [Illusion Magic]》 and 《Gift of [Sense Danger]》 respectively.

“This time, I can only give you one of these two.

I’m sorry but the enhancement of your 《G.o.ddess of Virtue’s Blessing》 will have to be postponed.”

“That can’t be helped.
It’s my mistake.”

I compared the two Gifts and after a little bit of thought, extended my hand towards the Gift of [Sense Danger].

[Appraisal].

…Yup.
I see a variety of things I want to comment about, but let’s first check the acquisition of [Sense Danger] (the >> part).

At any rate, the status is long!
If I don’t think of a sorting method soon, it’ll become convoluted…

“May I ask you the reason for choosing that one?”

“Although [Illusion Magic] was also attractive, it’s because I was thoroughly tormented by [Sense Danger].

Besides, with the incident this time, I understood through experience how dangerous it is to be targeted by a skilful a.s.sa.s.sin no matter how many skills I have.
Well, I don’t think there will that many skilful a.s.sa.s.sins at that level though.”

“It’s good that you were able to deal with them before caused a great disturbance.
If they didn’t get involved with you then Santamana would have become the overt kingdom of the Evil G.o.d around this time.”

“A lucky break, huh.”

I don’t feel that it’s good that I was targeted by a.s.sa.s.sins though.

“So, G.o.ddess-sama’s only business is the Gift?
I’ve prepared a tonne of questions though…”

“I will naturally answer them, but there’s something I’d like you to look at before that.
――Um, it’s this.”

The G.o.ddess snapped her fingers, and something I recognise appeared before us.
