「... Why did it happen like this !! 」
We were outside the city of Edna, and I was very angry at Seiya. After the charcoal completely evaporated from this world, the people in the city looked at us with horrifying eyes. I was so embarrassed that I smiled awkwardly, pushed Seiya's back and immediately ran away from the place.
「Although I am very relieved for us and for the people, all of it doesn't matter anymore !! Instead of being a hero, you behave like a demon !! Did you notice that a child would stone me !? 」
However, Seiya did not pay attention to what I just said. Instead, he spoke coldly to me in a commanding manner.
「You were like this even after I saved you from that demon. There seems to be no compassionate person in this world. 」
「You are the one who is not compassionate !! Did you know that you were the one who burned Jamie !? Even the fruit he gave us was all burnt! We can't eat it anymore! 」
「I don't know anything about that. 」
Seiya continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
I can't believe it! How could he show that attitude after everything that happened! I think he's kind of cool, but I'm so stupid to believe that! Even if he had a good appearance, he was truly a jerk!
While leaving the city border in frustration, I heard the footsteps of someone running towards us. I turned around and it was Nina and her father. Nina's father lowered his head while taking a deep breath.
「We are very sorry. Although you saved our city, we made you go like that .. I think everyone was startled by the sudden fire .. 」
I shook my head like “it's okay, it's okay”.
「You how else. Things are getting worse than before. The fire burned down several shops and even injured people. 」
It makes me very frustrated to apologize for all this mess. It was hard to imagine that a hero would do such a thing. This is completely insane.
「By the way, I couldn't thank you properly for helping us back then! I'm glad to find you before I leave! 」
Afterwards, Nina's father offers the bag to Seiya.
「I know this is not important, but I give it to you with the best intentions! Please, accept this gift! 」
Seiya, who had been uninterested all along, looked at the gift and changed his expression.
「Oh, is this gold? There is nothing better in the world than money; that way I can buy more weapons and protectors. I'll take it . 」
「Wait a minute, Seiya. You are a hero; you should not say such things. 」
However, Seiya took out a silver coin from the bag and frowned.
"What is this . It's much less than I thought. Do you not have more? If you do, then give it to me. 」
「You no longer act like a hero !! That's a robbery !! 」
I was devastated, but Nina's father laughed; she took some coins from her pocket and gave them to Seiya.
I had no more words to say as I looked at Nina's innocent smile.
「 Laugh I know why! Master has heart disease, but I know he's a good man! 」
I put my hand on Nina's shoulder and somehow I was able to show her a smile.
「Nina. He's "half dead" inside. He is really sick, but he is not a good person .. 」
「Just shut up and stop saying nonsense. I'm not sick. 」
「Normal people won't go around burning other people's houses, and after all that you even try to rob them !! I can't take it anymore !! I am so ashamed !! Let's go to the next city quickly !! 」
I lowered my head for them, and pulled Seiya's hand and left.
Nina shouted loudly from far away.
"Thank you Madam! Thank you, sick sir! Thank you very much! 」
「Hei Nina! Don't say such a thing! 」
Even if I she was scolded by her father, Nina waved at us and I also showed her a smile of goodbye; and thus I left the city of Edna with embarrassment to the utmost extent.
… That's the flower talisman Nina gave her.
「Yeah, Seiya. You actually kept that flower talisman with you? Didn't you say that this item is a curse from the enemy? 」
「Well, I thought about it and it seemed more convenient to save it. That way I will know whether the enemy will attack me or not. 」
Then, Seiya fused the talisman with his coin.
「... Hmm. 」
"What's? 」
「No, it's nothing. 」
I don't know what he's thinking, he doesn't make any sense at all. I really don't understand this guy. But who cares .
My slight anger faded, and I started talking to Seiya in a cheerful tone.
「By the way, let's hurry to the next city! From the information that the Great Goddess Isister gave me, we need to head north to a city called Semul; there we will meet someone who will accompany us on this quest! I can't wait for that! 」
But ... Seiya stopped suddenly and said the following words.
「I can't go any further. Too sudden. 」
"What's!? Did you just say "suddenly" !? 」
「Let's go back to the world of heaven. 」
"You're kidding, right!? Why is!? 」
「Of course, to do more training. 」
"What's!? Are you planning to do more training in the summoning room !? 」
"Yes nih . If you think carefully about it, after defeating Chaos Makina, I believe the enemy will send a stronger demon to chase after us. I need to focus on my training before heading to the next city. 」
「Well, yes, you may be right about that, but I think your status is already big enough? 」
「Do not specify the results based on speculation. There is no guarantee that I can win next time. Since there are no guarantees, I have to be at my best every time we face the enemy. 」
「But, if you don't go to the next city now, we might lose our allies, and you won't be able to buy weapons or armor, right? Aren't we gonna get in trouble for that? 」
Then, Seiya put his hand on his mouth and he thought carefully.
「Having allies can wait, but having those weapons and protectors is a must. Can't you make it? You made my bed appear in the summoning room, right? 」
The power of creation possessed by a goddess can only be used in the God Realm. In addition, it is forbidden to bring goods from heaven to the world on earth. Excessive aid to man is contrary to the law of the Almighty. 」
After hearing my explanation, Seiya showed a bored face.
「... Women are useless. 」
"What's!? What was that!! If you let me help you, I can support you !! You see my healing power, don't you !? I completely healed Jamie's burn after you injured him !! 」
「The medicinal ingredients I have are enough. In other words, the value of your existence is the same as the potion. 」
「Whose identity is the same as the medicinal herbs !! 」
「Peach. First, let's go back to the world of heaven because I have to practice; unless you want to go to the next city by yourself. 」
「I cannot go alone to the next city because it will be meaningless ... if that's what you suggest ..」
「If so, then open the portal to the heavenly world. 」
「I understand ... wait a minute !! Just now, did you just order me !? 」
