The Overpower Hero

Chapter 12's

"Excuse me . 」

When I entered the room, I saw the Great Goddess Isister standing on a wooden chair, gently knitting and smiling gracefully. She looks like a "good-natured grandmother", but I don't dare say anything rude to her.

Isister spoke in his usual calm voice.

「Listarte. How was the training between the swordsman god and your hero? 」

First of all, I apologize to Isister for granting our request.

「I'm really sorry. I live in the world of Gods and make my heroes train with gods .. 」

"No problem . However, was it definitely unprecedented to have a hero who would not fight against monsters and continue to train with the swordswoman god. In addition, we have rules that allow us to provide support to the heroes. Means we can help man without breaking the rules of Almighty. The problem is we've never had a hero like this before. 」

"Yes nih . 」

「So, is Ryuguuin Seiya practice difficult? 」

「Well, about that, I think Mr. Celseus cannot overthrow him. Instead, he kept saying that he "didn't want to see the sword anymore", or something similar. 」

Isister laughed at that.

「That's because Celseus is a weak native human being. 」

"I'm sorry!? Are you saying that Celseus was reincarnated from a human? 」

There are two kinds of gods. The first type accepts life as the original god in the world of Gods. And, the second type is a being who does good deeds and will be reincarnated as a god. Somehow, I always thought that Celseus was the first type …

「Celseus was once a human swordsman. Of course, the memory of his time as a human was lost when he was reincarnated into a god. However, certain characteristics remained so etched into the soul, that they did not disappear easily. Since he was forced to train hard against Ryuguuin Seiya, his deepest weakness must have overflowed from his soul. Well, that's good training for Celseus as well. 」

The situation was reversed somehow .. It was supposed to be Seiya's training from the start.

There was an incident some time ago, that I asked Isister about my type. However, he said that "You will know when the time comes". Well, I thought about it carefully and came to the conclusion that it didn't matter, because even if a god was a human before, there would be no memory of that time. Since then, I have stopped worrying too much.

Isister put his knitted cloth on the table and looked at me with soft eyes.

「Listen, Lista. I'm calling you here today because I want to talk to you. Sorry, but you have to stop training, because I want you to go to the next town immediately. 」

I want to continue the adventure quest as soon as possible, so …

"Yes! I understand! 」

Nonetheless, I asked the following.

「Don't say ... that something is going on in Geabrande? 」

I'm curious . Before I knew it, Isister had a serious expression.

「Initially, the area I selected as your starting point was relatively safe. However, the devil felt our movements. It seems that the next town is in grave danger. 」

Isisters have the ability to predict the future a little bit in the future. If my goddess's intuition was somewhat relevant, even more precisely was the accuracy of her abilities; therefore, there was no mistake in that information.

「Although the flow of time is slower in the world of Gods, I still want the two of you to hurry up and continue the journey as soon as possible. Lista, can I depend on you? 」

"Of course!! We'll be leaving soon !! 」

　

　

As soon as I left Isister's room, I walked through the temple grounds with a strong determination.

… No matter what she's going to do, I have to take her with me!

I immediately opened the door of the summoning room and shouted.

「Seiya !! We're going to Geabrande now !! … a ... What is !? 」

I'm freaked. I came face to face with a horrible sight.

Seiya was sitting on Celseus back riding him as if he were a horse, and hit him with both fists. (EN: Check the records at the end)

* Strange sounds resemble animal sounds *

Celseus groaned while protecting his head with one hand.

「Wait there !? What are you doing!? Stop it immediately !! 」

When I ran into them, Seiya finally stopped hitting him.

「Seiya !! Why are you doing such a horrible thing !! 」

Although I was very angry, Seiya's expression did not change at all.

「What do you plan to do with him? Is this part of your training as well? 」

「Ah ... alright, I guess ..」

I was very surprised to find that he turned into a "troublemaker" himself .. I was surprised, but .. oh well, come to think of it, come to think of it, I felt that there was nothing about him that surprised me anymore …

I smiled at Celseus who stood still.

「I'm sure you are overwhelmed with this kind of training! 」

However, Celseus covered his face with his hands, and did not say a word.

「Mr Celseus, you must not be silent! Is this really "training" !? 」

"What are you again? 」

"Rubber! Before I forget! 」

I spoke directly at Seiya.

At the same time, Seiya wiped his sweat with a towel.

"Good . I think I'm done here too, because there's nothing more to be had from the guy there. 」

In contrast to Celseus, who sat on his knees in a suspicious triangular shape without confessing a word, Seiya looked dashing in his armor made of steel and flicked his shiny black hair.

Ready Very Ready. Okay, let's go to the next town. 」

「Ya .. but before that ... first, you need to apologize properly !! 」

I cast a spell to open the portal directly to the place where the city of Semul is visible from afar. That means that we can go straight to where the Great Goddess Isister told us to go in Geabrande. Actually, I want to land at a place a bit far away so that he will fight with monsters and increase the value of experience. But I couldn't force myself to tell him.

　

　

When Seiya and I arrived through the city entrance, I saw many people carrying household items and running around in panic.

I caught a man on the way and asked him what was going on.

The undead Army attacked Klein Castle on the northwestern plain; in the end, it fell! Those monsters could come to this city at any time now! You need to get out of here as soon as possible! 」

The man left quickly and Seiya asked the following.

「Hei. What corpse? 」

「They are monsters that keep moving even after losing their lives. To make it easier to understand, they are called zombies. In fact, it was difficult to stop them with just sword attacks and strikes. 」

"I saw . Which attack was effective on them? 」

「Effective flame spell. However, holy water is the most effective tool. 」

「Holy water, you say. Then, first, we need to find a goods store. 」

According to Isister's information, it seems that someone who was supposed to be an ally to Seiya and I were waiting at the city church. Although I want to go there now, it is certainly wiser to buy holy water first for the response to the undead.

"Good . Let's go now . 」

As we ran through the city, we managed to find a goods store and we rushed in.

At the counter of the small shop, there was a shopkeeper standing still.

"I'm happy . There's still someone here. 」

"Ha! Sure was! Business is my life! 」

The shopkeeper laughed and said.

「Holy water, you ask? It's for the undead. You should prepare as soon as possible. We have a lot of them here at the store. So, please, buy a lot. 」

As he nodded, Seiya took out a bag with money from his pocket.

「Yes, I will do it. Therefore, give me a thousand holy waters. 」

Then, the shopkeeper's face looked stunned.

「... Well, I of course said I have a lot in store. However, everything we have here has its limits. To obtain a thousand grains of holy water was rather troublesome. In the first place, no matter how much holy water there is in the bottle, you will not be able to carry it all yourself, and even if you can hold as much as possible, You will be held back by the heavy burden of all of the sacred waters together. Moreover, if you buy everything, I will not have any more holy water in the store. 」

「We are so sorry !! It's ten!! Ten is fine !! 」

I ended up ordering holy water instead of Seiya.

「... it's just a few. 」

　

　

When we left the shop, Seiya looked very dissatisfied, but I ignored her and I went to church. The church was right in front of the shop; I opened two large doors in front and I heard a bell ringing.

We were standing at the beginning of the long red carpet. There were four people standing at the altar of the church.

I saw a priest and a nun. Beside them was an excited boy with silver armor and gallant hair. Besides, there was a curly red haired girl wearing a robe.

Realizing my true nature, the pastor looked at me and said with tears in his eyes.

「Oh, yes Gods! Even if you appear in human form, I can see well who you are! You're a goddess, aren't you? We have received heavenly revelation and we have been waiting for you to come here! 」

Then, he pointed to the boy and the girl.

「Two people here are descendants of the Dragon Tribe, whose blood carries dragon blood! They will be your comrades and fight alongside your heroes to defeat evil! 」

The red-haired little girl greeted me for lowering her head, while the brown-haired boy held his hand on her waist.

… descendants of the Dragon Tribe …! So the two would become Seiya's combat allies…!

I want to talk to both of them now. But ... At this moment I feel something unpleasant. My goddess's intuition skipped a beat like the sound of an alarm.

They probably won't understand because humans only have five senses. However, there was a somewhat sinister aura right in front of me. I can't identify which of these four people has these malevolent characteristics. Still am…

I whispered in Seiya's ear.

「Be careful, Seiya. I have a bad feeling about this . I think someone here is an undead. 」

「Heh. No problem . 」

「Seiya, wait? 」

Scratching his nose, Seiya walked forward towards the four people.
