Two people introduced themselves in front of the ice statue of the dragon. I introduced my self as Will, the son of the gods. I also introduced my partner Shultz.

Shultz was at first alert to the strange woman but when she knelt down on her knees, he silently let her stroke his throat.

Luna Maria stroked Shultz’s weakest part exactly, as if her eyes could see.

Looking at her, I raised the question if she was really blind, Luna Maria denied it with a smile.

“My behaviour has changed since the start, doesn’t it look like I have light* in my eyes?”

“Certainly, I really don’t think you’re blind.”

“When you cant see as a kid, you begin to learn various skills.”

“Skills?”

Luna Maria nodded.

“Other than your eyesight, your other senses become sharpened. Hearing and smell are the obvious senses but also the sense of touch. -hmm. Will, if I look back, please raise your right or left hand.

Yes, I understood. I honestly raised my left hand as Luna Maria said when she looked away.

“Right now, you have raised your left hand. However, you’re hand is in a fist.”

“Hey, how did you know!”

“It’s easy. The movement of the air. If you raise your hands with them open, the air will pass between your fingers and give off a unique sound.

“Right or left handed, it’s amazing if you got that right but to also understand that as well, amazing.”

“I don’t know how amazing it is but since I’ve lived like this since I was a kid, I’m comfortable with how my life is.”

“It must be hard, excuse me if you see my words of sympathy as rude.”

“Yes, I closed my eyes in hope and I have no regrets in becoming a shrine maiden.”

“But, why is a shrine maiden in such a place?”

“I said this in the beginning, I’m looking for a brave hero to save this world. I think it’s you.”

“Me? But, the mark…”

“No need for markings. Even if you do, I can’t see it.”

Perhaps it was a blind person’s joke, I can’t laugh in this situation.

“I have received the oracle of God. There must be a hero on this land who brings peace to this world and you are the only one I can think of.”

“That’s true, I am the only human in this area.”

“If that’s the case, I’m sure.”

So, hero, please take this journey to save the world with this Luna Maria.”

“Even if you say this so suddenly.”

“That’s right. I’m sure it’s you who has been brought up by the gods.”

“that’s right.”

“If that is so, I would like to say hello to the gods. This Luna Maria needs the gods permission to guide Will as a graduate.”

“Please forgive me…”

“The faces of my dads floated before me, everyone had a face that opposed. I still lacked the training.”

They didn’t want to put the cute me outside. Wanting me to live a lifetime on this mountain. A future figure that could be persuaded came to mind.

I explained that my father Reus, the all purpose god, is the one who could send me out.

“…Is that so. That’s a shame.” Luna Maria said.

My shoulders drop. However the gloominess only lasted a few seconds, then immediately changed.

“On the contrary, if one person agrees, then rely on that person. It is also Will’s decision to finally descend the mountain. Will wants to see the outside world right?”

“…Yes. I want to see it.”

I’ve only told Shultz and so I wanted to show her my determination. I wanted to look outside the mountain. Of course, I loved this mountain. I loved my parents here.

Training and study were also fun. I also loved playing with my friends.

But, you study the world by learning outside.

When I heard the stories of the outside world from the animals, I really wanted to see the real world.

Vandal the god of magic said it was because I was a child of mankind. Human beings find it difficult when they are pushed by curiosity.

Recalling Vandal’s words that it was impossible for Gods to kill curiosity, I decided to obey Luna maria’s words.

The day will come when I would be pushed by my curiosity and inquisitive mind to leave.

Then there’s no wrong reason to go now.

It also seemed best to travel with her to the outside world.

When I told Luna Maria about this, she smiled like the petals of a flower in full bloom.

I saw a girl of the same age laughing for the first time. The smile was completely different from that of Milia.

After a while, when I was admiring her the smile, I pulled her hand and headed to the summit.

As its name suggests, Table Mountain was shaped like a trapezoid.

A vast forest spread over the trapezoidal plane, and at the center of it lay the palace of the Gods.

Even if it is called a palace, it is not like a royal family inhabited it but a small building was made with the help of the forest beasts.

However, each room had its own bedroom, training room, library, meditation room, etc.
The scale of the place was reasonable.

I took Luna Maria to the guest room and gathered my parents there.

Reus descended from the sky in the form of an eagle.

Ronin came straight from the training room. He was shirtless and wore a towel on his shoulder.

Miria came in second but when she saw Luna Maria’s appearance, she went somewhere else saying, “I’m putting on makeup.”

Vandal came in fourth, but he only began reading books in the guest room without looking at Luna Maria.

“… sorry for the strange parents.”

Instead I apologized but Luna Maria shook her head.

“It’s natural because they are gods. I was the one who suddenly disturbed their training.”

“This mountain has no doorbell. Don’t worry.”

When he jokingly calmed her down, Miria, who had come back after she finished putting on her makeup said something first.

“I can’t give my Will to a little girl like you. I don’t know what kind of skill you used to seduce him but please return from where you came from.”

Although she was suddenly rude, Luna Maria did not seem to be angry.

She loosened her mouth a little, and whispered to me.

“She really looks like a true mother. As though a true daughter in law problem is occurring.”

She said this jokingly, the joke was not out of the ordinary. I gave out a big sigh.

“Her name is Luna Maria. A blind shrine maiden who serves the earth god. —she is my first human friend.” I introduced her.

The gods, who heard these words, alternately looked at me and Luna Maria with their own eyes.

 

 

*I’m going to continue to say that she has no light in her eyes as I feel this is the author’s style. By saying someone has light in their eyes it means that they can see, with no light they can’t see.
