“haha···.”

I looked at the man with the sunken head.

This is God?

That can’t be possible.

Could it be that that guy is the god I used to believe in?

“Jupiter!”

I turned my head to the familiar voice.

The warrior and his colleagues looked very embarrassed.

As I thought about it with a cold head, it occurred to me that I could no longer hear my colleagues’ voices.

···It seemed like he was moving faster than them before he knew it.

“Uh, hey… are you okay?”

“Huh? I’m fine.”

What on earth are you worried about?

I am so fine.

“No, that’s… the god that Euphie believed in…”

“That is not the God I believe in.”

“···yes?”

Yes, it’s a simple fact.

There is no way such a shameless and profane person could be the God of Lightning.

I’m sure my god is out there somewhere.

“No, isn’t that too much?”

“···?!”

In the midst of denying the man who fell like that.

A voice came from his mouth as his head must have been smashed.

“Lord, wasn’t he dead…?”

“There’s no way a god could die by having his head broken. I think he’s sorry, but it hurts my heart to deny it like that.”

The words he spoke so carelessly made my fire soar.

“Is it okay for a being called a god to look at his followers and act like that?”

“···Hey, it’s not like God doesn’t have desires, right? I said I was sorry.”

I was speechless.

He definitely apologized.

···I apologized, but this boiling feeling did not go away.

How should I resolve this situation?

Is it right for me to forgive that god who masturbated while looking at me…?

“Hehe, hehe… I understand. I will forgive you.”

“Huh? Really?”

Why are you questioning?

I guess I didn’t just blurt out these words without thinking that he would actually forgive me.

“Didn’t you say that sometimes people have to forgive?”

“Uh, huh?! Did you do that?!”

“···Surely you don’t know?”

“Huh? No?! I think I said that…?”

It looks suspicious.

…Couldn’t it be that the author, God, doesn’t know the details of his battle?

“But this is only this time. There will be no next time.”

“Yes, yes. I understand. I’m glad you forgive me! I’ll be careful.”

…It seemed like he wasn’t reflecting at all.

I was a little annoyed, so I fired a warning at him.

“If you look at me one more time and do that to me, next time I will definitely kill you.”

“I said I understood.”

“ha···.”

I hit him hard on the head on impulse, but when I think about it, I think he is the god of lightning.

The God I believed in is such a lecher.

I thought he would be a cool and resolute God…

A sigh escaped me.

***

“It’s late, but welcome! This is the area I live in.”

It seemed ridiculous to talk about the distorted head without even repairing it.

As a sign of apology to Jupiter, it seemed that she would remain in that state until she left this place.

…Still, I wish they could fix that bleeding sight a little bit.

“I roughly know why you came here. It’s because of the Demon Lord, right?”

“···Did you know?”

“Of course. When I look at Jupiter, I can see what you guys are doing. I care about that kid a lot.”

Did this guy who said he cared about his followers use Jupiter as a daughter and get caught and get his head crushed?

After hearing the story from Jupiter, Yuna looked at God with a disdainful expression and asked.

“Are you using your beloved child like that?”

“Why? Aren’t you more excited because it’s your favorite child?”

I was sure.

This kid is crazy.

These are words and actions that only an insane person can do.

“You speak and act like the gods of love. Are you two close?”

“Ah, have you met that friend? We’re close. We meet once in a while and enjoy it. Well, we don’t do it often because once we do it, it usually lasts for a month.”

“I’ve never asked about your sex life…”

“Huh? Really? ···Sorry.”

···Suddenly I became jealous.

what? One month at a time?

Some people are anxious because they’ve never done it before, while others don’t do it often because it takes too long each time they do it.

I felt like if the story went any further, I would get hit on the head with envy, so I turned back the story.

“So, you finally know our purpose?”

“Yeah. Inducing the demon lord? It looks like fun. There’s never been an attempt like that before.”

I guess so.

Who would bring the devil to catch him in front of his house?

I don’t know how this happened either.

It was obviously a casual remark intended to change one’s life to hard mode, but for some reason, it changed into the position of a kind hero who wants to reduce the vain sacrifices of demons…

It’s not like that…?

“What you wanted was God’s protection, right? I can give it to you.”

“Really?!”

…Well, it’s easier than I thought.

So, if the demon lord who received divine protection comes over, shouldn’t we just catch him and enjoy a happy life in a country house?

“But there’s one problem.”

“problem?”

“Because you can’t cross the Red Sea with just one protection. You must have at least three protections, right?”

“what···?”

Oh, no. That can’t be possible.

As soon as I heard about God’s protection, I thought one person would be enough.

“But I only have one blessing. Aren’t I misunderstanding something?”

Yes, there was only one blessing written openly on the status window.

I slowly opened the skill window and checked it again.

[Goddess’ Protection (Passive)

▶ Goddess Anis’ protection. Recovers 15% of HP and MP every turn during battle.]

I can’t have sex just because of this crazy performance, huh?!

If you don’t recover, you’ll see a defeat event someday!

Hey, I can’t lose even if I stand still because of this crazy passive that recovers every 10 seconds!

Even with the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, it takes a long time to hit, and it slowly wears off little by little, so what?

You need three of these?

If that happens, the Demon King will become too powerful.

You can somehow manage to hit one, but three?

are you kidding. If you want to be considered self-defense by a robber, give him a gun instead of a knife?

Don’t just die.

“Huh, huh? That can’t be possible. As a hero, you have the blessings of more than half of the gods in the pantheon.”

“That can’t be possible. There must be only one divine protection attached to it.”

“I don’t know how confident you are in concluding that the number of divine protections that humans cannot feel is one. Wait a minute…”

He put his hand on my shoulder and started to concentrate.

···You washed your hands, right? A feeling of discomfort came over me.

When I get back, I have to wash thoroughly…

How much time has passed?

He opened his eyes, which he had closed while concentrating, and spoke to me.

“···It almost makes me think that you might misunderstand it like that.”

“misunderstanding···?”

What misunderstanding?

Judging from the conversation so far, does this mean that I have more than one blessing?

“You obviously have a lot of God’s protection. This is certain. . . . However, there is a little difference.”

“difference···?”

“Yes. You obviously have a lot of protection, but there is one very strong protection. I don’t know whose protection it is. Why do you have such strong protection?”

“You don’t know?”

Does that make sense?

I heard something absurd.

The pantheon is a closed society.

Communication with the underworld has been cut off for over hundreds of years, and the gods are unable to communicate with their followers except through limited methods such as oracles.

I’m sure I heard this from the Pope.

I heard in old literature that there was some level of interaction with humans, but that also disappeared after the relationship with the elves was cut off.

There is a way to see the believers by looking at the gods, but if you keep looking at it, you will get tired of it.

If you spend the same days in the same place for hundreds of years, there’s no way you wouldn’t know what gods are next to you, right?

No matter how many gods there are, it is at least hundreds of years old. I think I’ll know by then.

“It’s a goddess named Anis. Don’t you know?”

“···Anis? Was there such a goddess…? Sorry. This is my first time hearing about it.”

Just in case, I called out the name of the god that appeared in the status window, but the response was that I had no idea.

“Anyway, that god’s protection is so strong that other protections feel like parts. The contents are…”

Oh, it’s so small it’s hard to read!

The god of lightning grumbles softly.

…I don’t know what I see, but God’s eyes were different. Is there another way to see divine protection?

“Where… Maintaining optimal physical condition, preventing sexual harassment, preventing restraint, resistance to abnormal conditions. Why are there so many? Did I change like this because I am a woman?”

“Is there any way to remove that divine protection?”

“Removing divine protection?”

I can’t believe I can find out about the passive skills displayed on the status window here.

So, it doesn’t mean that I can’t have sex because the God’s protection effect has changed.

Aren’t the gods responsible for this and have to lift the protection?

“I’m sorry. That might not be possible.”

“why?!”

“If you cancel the protection, you will no longer be a hero. The protection a hero receives is guaranteed to be given by more than half of the gods. Not only does it take a long time to cancel, but there is no reason to cancel it. Are you planning to select a new hero? It would be more troublesome, should I do that?”

I was in despair.

Because it was difficult to find hope in the words of the lightning god who explained it in more detail.

The first god I heard of, Anis, gave me too much protection, so the performance of the protection given by other gods deteriorated.

He explained that the warrior’s protection is originally a normal way to promote growth or give strength, but my protection is made up of protection to ward off people who have lust for my body.

“I don’t know who the goddess Anis is, but she seems to care for you very much. My God, I have never seen this level of protection.”

There’s no need for that!

I wanted to do something like that.
