“A blind shrine maiden serving the earth mother god, why are you hitting on my Will?” Ronin said.

“That is not the case. She dedicates herself to her god.”

“But, maybe she just wants to kiss.”

The word “Kiss” turns her face bright red but she spoke openly. “I am dedicated to my god and the hero. If Will wants, I will give him a kiss or a nightly fairy tale.”

“Oh! I think I can have grandchildren early.” Ronin grinned stroking his stubble.

Somehow, looking at Vandal he had a similar look.

“When it comes to Will’s age, it’s natural to be interested in reproduction. I was thinking of summoning even a succubus to teach the mystery of the female body but if there is someone dedicated to him, I won’t need to. ”

“……”

At this last request all eyes were on Miria but she seemed to be my only ally. She hugged me to her plump chest.

“If you teach my Will such shameful things, you guys will find your nails stripped.” She threatened Ronin and Vandal.

Although the final war of the gods seemed likely to break out, the universal god Reus embarked on mediation.

“Make an allowance for this, Ronin, Vandal. Also you, blind shrine maiden. Do not taunt the gods too much.”

“I had no intention of doing so but I apologise for the inconvenience.” Luna maria bowed deeply. She was an obedient woman.

Reus asked Luna maria to raise her head.

“So, what do you think lord Reus? I think Will should travel and see more of the world. ”

“I’ve talked with Will many times about this. I will follow Will’s choice.”

“Then–”

After being given permission to depart. The other three gods interrupted Luna maria’s next words.

“Wait a second shrine maiden. Even if Reus gives you permission doesn’t mean we three will be the same.”

“Sword god…”

“The healing goddess and magic god is here too. Will is our cute son. There has been word that our cute child will travel but we hate these words.”

“But, Will wants to see the outside world.”

“My heart tells me to not show him. It is a malicious world.”

“Beautiful seeds of goodwill sprouts among them.”

“You may see good but it may be a hidden evil. There is a lot of temptation in the lower world.”

“I will prevent this.”

“I see, can you protect yourself? If you can solve the trials the three of us give you, we will allow Will to depart.”

“A set of trials? ”

“Aah, each of us poses a challenge and you two need to solve them.”

“Me and Will…”

Luna maria mumbled to herself “our first collaboration,” but nodded loudly when the surrounding people ignored it.

“Okay, I’ll play your game.”

“Is this okay? If I lose, I will never let Will approach me again.”

“That I was just a shrine maiden that could see the vision.”

“Vision?”

“I had a vision of travelling the world with Will. I saw it with an oracle yesterday. We will surely overcome this trial and travel together.”

“I see, you have a lot of confidence.”

Ronin stared at Luna maria as if he valued her confidence, then set his eyes upon the magical god Vandal.

“Oi, old man, your first. Do the clever harassment that you’ve been given after living such a long life.”

You little shit, respect your elders. …hmm, well, I can’t let cute Will into the outside world, I’ll do my best.”

As usual, Vandal prepared the first trial.

When Vandal prepared two cups, he summoned water from his fingertips and poured them into the cups.

“What is this?”

When Luna Maria asked, Vandal naturally answered, “it’s water.”

“It’s just…water.”

“Looks like it.” I answered. However, I didn’t think that Vandal just prepared water, we may have to do something with that water.

As I thought so, Vandal gave us a difficult task.

“Don’t spill a drop of this water and go down to the Cedar tree at the foot of this mountain then come back. let’s see, you have one hour.”

“Isn’t that time too short?”

“It would normally take you 30 minutes.”

“Yes but Luna Maria is here today…” I lightly looked at the blind shrine maiden, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

“Will, you have always developed your concentration like this. It’s okay. I’m doing similar training. I’m sure you’ll be back at the same time.”

I couldn’t say anything more than that, I was determined to burn through this persona. It was part of our agreement to be tested.

Because it is difficult to achieve, I couldn’t ask for something easier. When I thought this, I silently grabbed the cup and began toward the foot of the mountain. After a short delay, Luna maria followed suit but again her movements were a little tedious.

I walked leisurely without spilling a drop of water. Since I was walking with a better posture than usual I seemed to look good when I was on edge. The animals on the mountain praised me, “you can do it Will.”

Each time I said thank you with a smile but when my face was laughing my heart was not. Because at this speed we wouldn’t make it.

It looked like we were walking quite fast but that was what ordinary people would see. Luna maria and the others were teasing lightly saying they had set a speed record when they walked with the cup but to me, this was unsatisfactory.

Usually I would move at about three times this speed or almost to the point of running. It would take me a round trip to the Cedar tree in less than an hour.

Of course, even at that speed, no drops of water would be spilled.

I still haven’t spilled a drop but at this speed I wouldn’t make a round trip in an hour. Thinking this, I stopped and put the cup on the stump and urged Luna Maria to do so.

Suddenly instructed to put the glass down, Luna Maria was even more surprised but she followed my instructions.

“I am a shrine maiden who has dedicated this body and soul to Will. I will obey any orders.” Her smiling face was lovely but when I told her that we wouldn’t make it in time, her face became cloudy.

“Wha- what should we do?” she panicked slightly.

“We have no choice but to triple this speed.”

“But it seems impossible to spill water even now.”

“We can’t overcome Vandal’s trial without force.”

“Okay, but is it unwise to try this without any countermeasures?”

“yes, I understand this. I have a plan.”

I smiled a little and had Luna maria lend me her ear. “Hmm, hmm” she listened. When I had my face near her ear, she smelled very nice.

When Luna maria heard his secret, she quietly muttered. “Is Will a genius?”
