Sadistic Noah-sama

I'm dreaming...

I'm in a space of nothing.

Seeing this always, now I'm getting used to it.

Normally the goddess will welcome me with a smile but this time is diffirent.

The aura that she immeting right now is scary.

So..... I'm forcibly do a seiza.

Then suddenly the mood change.

"Maaaa... kooo...to~" (Noah)

Uwahhhhh... scaryyyyy!

The smile of Noah-sama, the smile of Noah-sama.

Is pretty scaryyy.

So I bow my head to the scary Noah-sama!

And...

"I'M REALLLLYYYYY SOOOORRRRYYYY NOOOOOAAAAHH-SAAAMMMAAAA!!!!"

I'm doing this while she's sitting in my back.

"You got guts to not listening to your goddess"(Noah)

Ugh.

But you know that I can't abandon them noah-sama.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your opinion"(Noah)

H-How unreasonable.

"You know how, I'm worried sick here!!!!..."(Noah)

While she's pulling my hair and spinning it around.

Noah-sama is being sadistic today.

"I.... I..... Thought your going to die there you know?"(Noah)

Hearing that I become silent.

Noah-sama is really worried of me....

While me is taking it easy, I somehow felt guilty.

I thought, Noah-sama is not worried of me.

Hearing my thoughts, she brought my face close to her.

"Of course I'm worried about you! How can't I? Your the only precious believer that I have. If you die, I will be really sad here you know?"

She said while looking at me warmly.

"I'm sorry Noah-sama for making you worried there... I will be careful from now on..."

I said not meeting her gaze.

Seeing me like that she smile then suddenly hug my head close to her chest.

Ahhh. I'm in heaven, the scent of noah-sama is so healing... That I want to stay in her embrace forever.

"Geez.... I'm glad you come back alive makoto. Good work out there."(Noah)

Hearing her usual welcome to me.

I felt so happy.

"Haah, you really push yourself too hard." (Noah)

Noah-sama snaps her fingers and a monitor appears in midair.

"Here, look." (Noah)

That monitor is showing the state of everyone.

"Right now your priest friend is doing her best in healing you." (Noah)

"Makoto! Hey! Makoto, are you okay?!" (Lucy)

"Lucy! Calm down. He has lost consciousness, but he is still breathing. First we need to provide emergency treatment, and head to a hospital immediately." (Emily)

"Makoto, don't die! We are arriving to the city real soon!!" (Jean)

Jean is carrying me, and Emily is casting healing magic on me.

Lucy seems to be panicking quite a lot.

I am sorry, everyone. Making you guys worry like this.

"It was thanks to you that the Griffon was defeated, so of course they would get desperate to save the one who saved them." (Noah)

I see. At any rate, I am glad everyone is okay.

"Noah-sama, again I am sorry. I was way too reckless today. I was about to die there." (Makoto)

"You really are an idiot. Today's injuries normally would have killed you!" (Noah)

"I'm sorry!" (Makoto)

While bowing my head again to noah-sama.

"Look at this." (Noah)

Noah-sama showed me a Soul Book.

She wraps her arms around my shoulders and pulls me close.

"Now now, look." (Noah)

Noah-sama sticks even closer.

I look at the Soul Book while activating [Clear Mind].

Goddess Noah's Divine Protection.

Those words were added.

"This is…" (Makoto)

The sour mood back then change into a good mood.

"Huhum, you did it, Makoto! Thanks to your everyday prayers, you managed to gain a divine protection! Thanks to that, you were able to resist the attack of the Griffon and the fire magic." (Noah)

When you get the divine protection of a Goddess, the believer gets a strong power, and there's times when it might make their body sturdier.

Looks like I was saved today thanks to that.

"I see…" (Makoto)

It has been long.

It has been 1 year and several months since I came to this world.

I feel like I have finally gotten a bit closer to where my classmates are.

"You seem to be happy. This isn't all I wanted to tell you." (Noah)

"There's something else?" (Makoto)

"Look at this!" (Noah)

What Noah-sama pointed at read [Spirit User].

"Spirit User?" (Makoto)

If I remember correctly, it is a skill elves and dwarves have.

Lucy had it too.

"That's right! We Titan Gods get along well with the Spirits after all! This is a Gift Skill of a Goddess." (Noah)

"Spirit User…Spirits, huh." (Makoto)

There were no users of that in the Water Temple.

Or more like, there's no users of that in the human race.

It is a minor magic that elves use minutely.

"Oh, not happy?" (Noah)

"No no, that's not it!" (Makoto)

I am not dissatisfied, but I just don't know if it is strong or not, and it seems like those feelings leaked out.

"I will use them gratefully, Goddess-sama." (Makoto)

"Fufu, devout yourself from here on as well." (Noah)

She patted my head.

Light wraps around my body.

"Makoto, looks like it is about time to wake up." (Noah)

Noah-sama smiles kindly.

"Thank you very much, Goddess-sama. Also, is it okay to invite Lucy to be your believer, Noah-sama?" (Makoto)

"Hmm, invite, huh." (Noah)

Eh? She doesn't seem to be that happy.

"Actually, I can only get 1 believer every 10 years as punishment for going against the God Realm, you know." (Noah)

"Eeeh." (Makoto)

Really? I thought that you can't get a believer because you treated as an evil god.

Then I can't invite anyone.

"Well, I am fine just having Makoto." (Noah)

Noah-sama gives me a thumbs up and winks.

Aren't you a bit too at ease?

"It is okay, it is okay. Now then, don't push yourself too much, okay?" (Noah)

"Yes, take care, Noah-sama." (Makoto)

"See ya~. Again, I won't forgive you if you die okay..." (Noah)

Yes,yes. Noah-sama I will be careful from now on.

I was covered in light.

*****

Waking up.

The first thing I see is Emily, reporting what happened.

She said that I was unconscious half a day.

When we report to the guild that we defeated the griffon. It cause a ruckus in the guild

So the guild is celebrating now in this mid night.

Even thought it's noisy I love the atmosphere in the guild, it's kind off that despite the hardship we trying our best to be happy.

Then Lucy came to me worriedly

Despite being the star of the subjugation she's still insist and come to me.

And question me if I'm alright or if there is a pain somewhere in my body.

Reading the mood Emily go to where jean is that currently surrounded by many female adventurer.

RIP jean. I prayed in my mind.

In 5 minutes of silence.

Lucy spoke.

"Hey... Makoto are you angry?"

I look at her dumbfounded

Somehow it felt like deja Vu.

"W-why are you looking at me strangely?"

"Well I predict what are you going to say. Like that I might disband the party because you think that you always cause trouble on me, and think that, the magic that who injured my body is the one you did and you feel responsible of it. Right?"

"Ehh? Makoto can you actually read minds?"

"What do you think?" I said while grinning

"Can... you?"

"Pfft.... Of course not, We spend together in months you know? Certainly sometimes you are stubborn and blunt but still you always feel responsible in anything that you cause."

Looking at her, she bow her head and her face is beet red.

(what a Play boy, Makoto)

I just learned it to you Noah-sama.

(Fufu... Do you want a punishment)

Plss... Spare me on that.

Haa... Even thought I always meet Noah-sama I can't still read her. Because she's always scheming.

(Hey! your talking bad to me now!)

Well it's not like it's a false though.

Right, Noah-sama?

(.....)

No response...

Changing the atmosphere I spoke again.

"So... What I'm saying is Lucy that's not your fault, why I'm injured like this. First of all I'm the one who synchronized with you despite that, I don't have affinity to fire magic."

Hearing me said that.

Lucy raises her head and mutters.

"It is probably because of the demon blood inside me…" (Lucy)

Demon?" (Makoto)

Lucy begins to speak with a grim face.

"Yeah, that's right…" (Lucy)

"You are an elf, right?" (Makoto)

"My mother is an elf. But my father isn't. My mother married a demon somewhere, and I am the child." (Lucy)

A mix of elf and demon, huh.

No wonder she is strong.

"According to my mother, my father is a demon that had his whole body covered in fire. I inherited that blood of his, and it made my fire magic powerful." (Lucy)

"Fire on his whole body, you say. How did they even make a baby?" (Makoto)

"That's not the issue here!" (Lucy)

She got angry.

I think it is the natural question though.

"Thanks to my fire mana, I can use powerful magic, and have strong fire resistance, but I can't use weak fire magic. I am bad at controlling it, and it ends up going out of control quickly. Also, the reason my body temperature is abnormally high is because of this." (Lucy)

"Aah, so that's why you wear so thinly." (Makoto)

The mystery has been solved.

I thought she likes to expose herself.

"The reason why your whole body was burned in your synchronization was most likely because it was me. It shouldn't happen if you do it with others…" (Lucy)

Looks like Lucy is feeling pretty down from this.

"If you had those circumstances, it can't be helped. And like I said I'm the one who synchronized with you. If you thinking I will disband the party because you have a demon blood, you should reassured because I'm not." (Makoto)

" And.... I need you Lucy. So let's do our best together."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. And there is something that I keeping a secret to you but I will tell you when I'm ready."

Surprised by what I said, She look at me and Said.

"Then I will wait for it!"

"I'm glad to hear that..."
