"Huh?!" Goddess Eris was immediately stunned. What did she just hear?! A marriage proposal?!
A marriage proposal that was thousands of years late? Tsk! A marriage proposal that came after sixteen years!
Tsk! Not really, it should be said that this was the first time in her life Eris had heard something like this. Today, she was temporarily taking over the duties to care for the lazy Aqua-senpai who was hiding in her room to rest, and Ethan was the first reincarnation she had handled.
Of course, before this, Eris had also received many deceased people at her post and reincarnated them, but she had never encountered someone as strange as Ethan, a man so disgusting! Not to mention the marriage proposal speech that could be considered an insult!
Most importantly—
"Wish accepted. From now on, Goddess Eris's duties will be taken over."
An angel, no less beautiful than Goddess Eris but with an extreme beauty of another kind, descended from the sky and declared so.
This statement made Eris's wide-eyed shock grow even more vacant. What the hell was this?!
"Wow! A wish like that can really come true?" Ethan tilted his head innocently, as if he didn't realize it, but his deep black eyes were full of cunning intelligence, having successfully schemed something.
As the magic circle on the floor emitted a bright light, both the stunned Eris and the innocent Ethan disappeared in an instant.
Only the extremely beautiful angel remained at the scene.
"Never expected a human to make such a wish, but it aligns with my desires. This way, Goddess Eris can also be freed from years of hard work and suffering, and can rest peacefully. After all, even though she always acts gently, the accumulated fatigue from working non-stop for so long and the lingering pain from constantly dealing with the dead won't lessen even a bit."
"But, will that human really not do something excessive to Goddess Eris? Ah, forget it, then Goddess Eris can also find her own happiness."
"Oh! Right, right, that lazy goddess who only knows how to laze around, it's better to send her off like this, so she won't cause trouble everywhere and bring disaster to that world by sending troublesome people there."
The angel casually spoke of a rather terrifying secret, completely unaware of what kind of changes her reckless decision would bring to the other world!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The sound of turning wheels echoed in the air.
A horse-drawn carriage sped along a wide road, passing through the city gates and entering a town.
Inside the carriage, the window curtains were lifted, revealing two beautiful black-haired, red-eyed girls.
What they saw were neatly lined brick buildings and brick-paved roads.
It was a street scene reminiscent of ancient European medieval towns.
Horse-drawn carriages came and went on the road.
Children played and chased each other by the roadside.
Along the way, what they mostly saw were weapon shops, armor shops, and equipment stores, with only stalls by the roadside selling fruits, vegetables, groceries, and various snacks, showing the prosperous side of the town.
In fact, people carrying weapons, wearing light clothing, or even fully armored, walked leisurely on the streets.
Seeing such people, the townsfolk seemed accustomed, continuing with their own tasks.
Such a scene perfectly showcased the existence of another world.
If only there weren't two people who suddenly appeared.
On a street, a black-haired young man wearing a black shirt, black leather pants, and even black leather shoes stood with a sly smile next to a beautiful girl. The young man, whose only pale skin reminded people of illness, everything else black, was named—
Ethan!
Of course, who else could the beautiful girl standing beside him be but Goddess Eris, brought by the wish?
Her goddess-like face standing next to Ethan, who else could it be but Goddess Eris, brought by the wish?
"No way?" Eris's blue eyes finally refocused, but she grew even more disbelieving.
Why could a goddess be brought to another world as a cheat?! Although this was an unprecedented innovation, there was actually a huge loophole here?!
Of course, aside from Ethan, there might only be one other person who would dare to make such an impolite wish to a goddess.
But aside from Eris herself not believing in the arrival of Goddess Eris, others were even more incredulous.
"No way...?"
"Why does she look so much like Goddess Eris?"
"Is it really her?"
The children playing by the roadside were stunned, the toys in their hands having fallen to the ground at some point.
The adventurers walking by the roadside, some with mouths wide open enough to swallow an egg, some accidentally falling to the ground.
Even the uncles and aunts running shops, their hands almost dipped into the frying oil and turning into roasted pig feet, yet they didn't react at all.
*CRASH!*
A horse-drawn carriage speeding by suddenly overturned, the cause being the horses startled by Eris, their hind legs stepping on their front legs and falling!
"Hey, hey, hey!?"
Seeing this, Ethan knew exactly what kind of crisis he was facing!
If these fanatical followers found out that he had been constantly teasing Goddess Eris, even pulling her from the heavens, they might not just tear him into two, but a hundred pieces!
Hearing that, Ethan ran!
Yes, not only did he run, but he also grabbed Eris's hand and ran with her!
"Ara?"
Seeing Ethan's behavior, Eris, whose mind had just started to return to normal, was once again struck by an indescribable sense of shame and turmoil, even making her forget to tell Ethan to let go of her hand!
"That's Goddess Eris—!"
"Goddess Eris has descended to the world—!"
"Why is Goddess Eris with that pale-faced man?!"
"Brothers! For Goddess Eris! Kill that pale-faced man!"
Axel.
This was a town located on the border of the Kingdom of Belzerg.
This town had another name.
Namely, the Beginner Adventurer Village!
As the name suggests, this was a town where beginner adventurers gathered.
And today, this town of beginner adventurers welcomed the liveliest day in its history. It could be said that everyone in the town was running around like mad.
So much so that the Axel security force consumed several tons of old ginseng!
And the mastermind behind all this, while laughing heartily, took Goddess Eris running through the alleys, as if escaping!
