“Anyway, it’s surprising that I’m so strong without any protection.”

“···huh?”

In the end, I realized that in order to have sex, I had to defeat the demon lord and escape the gods’ protection.

Just like the warriors of previous generations, the protection slowly disappears after defeating the Demon King.

When there was one more reason to catch the Demon King, he said.

“I said I was watching you. Actually, it’s not you, but Jupiter. How are you so strong?”

Uh, that…

Possessed while playing a night game?

If I were to be honest like that, it was obvious that I would be treated like a crazy person.

···What excuse can you make?

“Oh, no. You don’t have to say it. There’s no need to say it.”

“···is it?”

“Well, there are probably some things I don’t want to talk about. It’s not like I want to know that much.”

Did he notice that I was slightly hesitant?

He added hastily, saying he wasn’t really curious.

You’re smarter than I thought.

When I saw his behavior toward Jupiter, I thought he was just a stupid guy, not to mention a witty one.

“Well, anyway. What you wanted was to give the Demon Lord protection, right? Four people will do.”

“Four people?”

“Yes. There are three people, not including me. I guess I just need to find a god who can give me strong protection.”

What a strong blessing.

This needlessly strong protection I am receiving?

It is said that in order to cross the Red Sea in the first place, more than half of the pantheon must give blessings.

Did he notice my doubts?

The lightning god provided replenishment.

“That’s what it means to be more than half of the gods. It takes less effort to lift something heavy with multiple people, right? We share the burden.”

“In other words, if some gods overdo it a bit, we don’t need a lot of people?”

“That’s accurate! That’s right. And the number that can be pushed to the limit is four. How about that, you understand now, right?”

I thought it was something with a god’s unique power since it was said to be the blessing of the gods.

That didn’t seem to be the case.

Is it just a matter of a few people suffering a little?

“But, if you just listen to it, it sounds like it’s going to be quite difficult.”

“Uh, maybe a little? Isn’t it difficult for four gods to handle the help of so many gods?”

“···Why are you helping me?”

I blurted out the question I had been wondering before.

That guy has no reason to help us.

If you were looking at a head still dripping with blood, you wouldn’t think it was strange if you were holding a grudge.

He said he needed four people, but there were three of them, not including himself.

He was casually saying that he would help.

Why?

“Oh, that? Because it’s fun?”

“huh?”

“It’s interesting. If the gods give the Demon King their protection, will he really be okay? I’m curious.”

“···Only for that reason?”

“Just barely! Have you ever heard of the Holy Demon Lord?! Don’t you want to see it at least once? How can you bear that?!”

No, of course, I have never heard of the Holy Demon King.

What kind of confidence is this…

“Just because you’re curious, are you willing to cooperate with a plan that could result in the death of all believers?”

“Jupiter is counting on you, right?”

“···?”

“That kid is counting on you. Then I believe I can too.”

Does he think he is a god too?

Even those seemingly meaningless words had a strange persuasive power.

He smiled as if he trusted Jupiter, his favorite child.

“···Even if you smile like that with your head cut off, it’s just creepy.”

“ah.”

Hey, you idiot.

I have a general idea of this guy’s personality.

I am the type of person who dives headfirst into something that looks interesting.

Are you helping because this situation seems interesting?

···By the way, there are three people to come.

There were two faces that came to mind.

I don’t want to see one of them again, but I have no choice…

“I’m sorry, but do you know where the God of Love is?”

“Love? Yes. You know, right?”

“Can I ask for guidance?”

“···Are you going to ask her? Really?”

The god of lightning looks on as if it is absurd.

Yeah, I think it’s a bit like that…

But what can I do when all I can think of is her and justice?

Jeong, that guy will be able to convince the Pope somehow, and in the end, the God I know is love.

Wouldn’t it be more convenient to meet a god whose face you at least know rather than trying to appease the gods who are your first friends?

Although he made a strange confession when we first met, wasn’t it because he had a crush on me?

…If you hit your tail just a little bit, wouldn’t it give you divine protection?

Such dark thoughts lingered in my head.

“Well, the God of Justice can be persuaded enough. The only God I know is the God of Love.”

“···Um, so there are three of us, including me? What about one person?”

I know.

Should we at least put up a sign in the center of the temple over there?

[We accept talent donations from gods. Looking for a party member to create a sacred demon lord (3/4) ] Something like that?

···I wonder if it will work.

Actually, it’s not that I didn’t think of one person.

Was it the goddess Anis?

I don’t even know what kind of god it is, but that name is written all over the status window.

He’s a god too. Moreover, I know very well that you are very interested in me.

Because he’s the reason I can’t have sex!

However, the God of Lightning also said that this was his first time hearing this story…

After getting permission from the three people, I was going to ask them about Anise.

“···Hmm, it’s okay. I just thought about it, but is it really true? If that’s the case, there’s no need to look for one more person.”

“What do you mean?”

“If the three of you say you want to join us, I’ll tell you. Where the God of Love is, right? Come this way.”

What.

He suddenly looks at me and nods to himself.

No need to look for it…?

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

“What are you going to do if you don’t quickly call your colleagues? Are you leaving them behind?”

“Joe, wait a minute!”

Before I knew it, the lightning god had walked away and urged me on.

Hey, I don’t know either.

If you say three people are enough, that’s right.

They said they would explain it later, so just wait and they will tell you soon.

I left him waiting and started moving to call my colleagues.

***

“Wow, this is a place full of personality.”

“That’s right. As for that room that smelled like chestnut flowers… oh, sorry.”

“Please don’t say any more…”

While everyone was looking around the room that the God of Lightning had shown them in admiration, Jupiter became sullen at the words Lisbeth spoke.

I thought I had shaken it off by hitting it directly on the head earlier, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

…Well, isn’t it strange that the god you served came to his senses right away when he was using you as his daughter?

“Wow, it’s pink here too… It’s almost a pain in the eyes.”

“He likes pink. It’s an obscene color or something.”

“···He is the god of love, is that right?”

Isn’t the reason why I like one color so strange?

I thought about that appearance again.

A beautiful girl with impressive pink hair.

I was so confused at the time that I didn’t realize it, but were her eyes also heart-shaped?

They’re advertising that the entire body is very lewd…

“Well, I said I got dumped by you, so I’ll be here.”

“Chill, kick. I’m not cold….”

“That thing cools down quickly and burns up quickly, so it’s no different from a cold one, right? … Now, let’s open it?”

Suddenly.

He naturally opened a room hidden in a corner and lightened up the room by emitting lightning from his hand.

…In a desolate room with nothing in it, a whimpering sound was heard.

The girl from earlier, the God of Love, was crying in the corner of the room with her arms around her knees.

“···As expected. It’s the beginning again.”

“also?”

Instead of responding to Lisbeth’s words, the God of Lightning quietly approached her.

“Are you crying again? Who dumped you this time?”

“Sniffle, slurp… I saw you for the first time, a pretty sister with impressive red hair… I loved you.”

“Did you fall in love at first sight again?”

“···huh.”

“Ugh, she was wrong, wasn’t she?”

The lightning god looked at me and laughed slightly.

What is this guy saying right now in front of the person involved? You’re kidding me, right?

I’m just trying to comfort him, so he’s holding back, really.

“I prepared a gift for you after hearing that you got dumped again. Would you like to see it?”

“···gift?”

“Huh. If I see it once, won’t my depressed mood go away? Do you want to see it?”

“Look, I want to see.”

“Now then, shall we raise your head?”

Why are you so skilled?

He said he was a friend, but it seemed like this wasn’t something he had experienced once or twice.

Guided by lightning, she slowly raised her head and our eyes met.

“···! Yes, pretty sister···! Uh, how?!”

“I wanted to talk to you, so I persuaded you and brought you here. What do you think, did I do well?”

Boom boom.

She nods her head so vigorously that an afterimage is visible.

Are you that happy to meet me again?

In an instant, she wiped away her tears, radiated divine power from her body, returned to the way she was when I first met her, and spoke to me in a trembling voice.

“Uh, sister. Are you here to accept my confession?”

“That’s not true.”

“···.”

Cook, Cook.

My side hurt as it was stabbed with tremendous force.

why not. I was telling the truth.

Just as I was about to get annoyed by Yuna poking my side, I looked forward when Yuna pointed forward with her left hand.

…Uh, this isn’t it.

Seeing her mournfully shedding tears made me feel like I had become a high-ranking criminal.

“Huh, huh. Ugh, wow…!”

“Uh, now. Wait a minute. Don’t cry…!”

Oh, what should I do?

No matter what, there’s no way you’re dating a girl who suddenly asks you to get pregnant when you’re just meeting her for the first time.

What should I do to get out of this situation…

That moment when I had mixed emotions.

A thought popped into my head.

“Uh, so. There’s a reason I can’t accept your confession…!”

“Why…?”

Okay, why.

With reasons like these, there’s no way I wouldn’t agree!

“Yes! Actually, I have a child!”

The eyes of my colleagues looked at me in astonishment.

He seemed very confused, as if it was his first time hearing this news.

Of course, it’s probably the first time I’ve heard this story.

“Oh, kid…?”

“Hmm. I guess it would be a bit difficult to marry someone who has children, wouldn’t it?”

“Is that so…?”

I’m sorry, Damien.

Please let me borrow your name for a moment.
