Chereads / World First Paladin / Chapter 21 - What's Happening!?

Chapter 21 - What's Happening!?

"Just settle this outside, please… I don't want to be dragged into this mess." Aron said, telling us to leave.

Well, I do not wish to involve Aron in this mess… so I think I should listen to him and talk with Goddess Enous somewhere private.

"Sure, just don't tell anybody about this. Is that okay?" I said.

"Do you think I will, I'm your friend. There's no way I would rat you out to the high priest." Aron said that as he gave me a wink.

What's that supposed to mean? Do Aron think I am having a lover's quarrel or something like that… if that was the case I should- Wait I can't, Aron shouldn't know about this as it probably would make him question a lot of things.

Plus I doubt he's going to believe all of that as well. So it's rather pointless telling Aron about all of this stuff, at least that's what I think.

Besides it doesn't even matter what Aron thinks at all, it's not like we're going to stay together after this. As I know where I would be going next… the army encampment.

I then grabbed Goddess Enous hand, "Let's go somewhere else…"

"No, I would not! We're not going anywhere until you explain what is happening here!" Goddess Enous said that out loud.

Does she want to create a scene here? Just when I thought we could have our conversation in private.

With what Goddess Enous said, Aron started to give me those looks again. Like I have done something wrong here…

"Please… we will discuss it but not here," I said.

I hope she's going to listen to me, as there's no way I would want to discuss this matter in front of Aron.

I know that Goddess Enous wouldn't mind that at all but I do not wish to involve Aron at all here. That's why it's best for both of us to talk about it elsewhere.

"No! I wouldn't-"

Before she could say anything, I just dragged her out with me by force… as it's the only way for her to leave this room.

.

Both of us got out of the room and tried our best not to get spotted by the other people as Aron warned us it would get me in trouble if that happened.

Although to be honest, it's not easy as Goddess Enous gave me a lot of trouble as she tried to scream… I'm just lucky that I was able to cover her mouth before she could do that.

I feel like I am kidnapping her in some sort of way… But if I hadn't done this, Goddess Enous wouldn't have moved at all. As this is the only option I had.

.

I brought Goddess Enous to a place near the fountain. It is usually full of people, at least that is what I know from Aron's story. But I think the reason why it's empty today was because of the graduation day.

I then let Goddess Enous go and for she's mad by my action dragging her out here. But I already expected that it was coming…

"Truly, I am sorry about it but I had to do it since you're not leaving the room at all," I said.

"Do that one more time! You sure will get a divine punishment… Nobody drags me anywhere without my permission!." Goddess Enous said that as she's mad at me.

After all of this, I realized something regarding Goddess Enous… that she's always angry. Well sometimes she could be calm but if you make a slight mistake or tick her off in some way, she would easily be offended and angry with you.

But again, I guess that's why she's a Goddess. As I do think that it's easy to ignite God's wrath if you do things that displease him… But in another way, God is easy to forgive his people as well so I don't think Goddess Enous would be mad at me for a long time.

"Sure I would not do that again with you," I said.

"That's fine then if you acknowledge your mistake, just don't do that again." Goddess Enous paused for a bit as she then said, "So how about we talk about what's happening right now?"

Well, Goddess Enous already said that before, it seems like she also had no idea like me. That's why she asked me that question two times already… But now I am supposed to explain it to her?

Because she wasn't the only one that knew nothing of this situation at all. As I also had no freaking idea what's happening to both of us.

I suppose there's a way… that's just being honest with Goddess Enous her. Maybe if I tell her about the voice I was hearing when I was just about to get resurrected and brought to this world again. She might have an idea what it was since Goddess Enous is a deity after all.

But of course, if Goddess Enous doesn't have any information regarding that voice… I wouldn't blame her since I know what the goddess is capable of doing.

"To be honest with you, I don't know what's going on right now. As I didn't expect us to be going back in time like this…" I paused for a bit, "But do you remember about the time when I say if you hear a voice when you're casting the resurrection spell."

"Hmm… I do recall you saying that. As I do reply that I don't hear any voice at all at that time. But do you think that the voice is related to what's happening to us?" Goddess Enous said that.

"I think the possibility of that is quite high… Do you know any other deity that-" I stopped as I realized that there's no way I could describe the voice perfectly since I was the only one that heard it? "Nevermind that…"

If only Goddess Enous also heard the voice, the mystery might unravel for a bit…
