Chapter 22 - Surprising Turn Of Event

"What do you stop? Can you figure out what's happening?" Goddess Enous said that.

Despite not being able to describe the voice perfectly, I still need to ask the question as I might be able to think of something here.

"Not really, but I want to ask if there's another deity that has the power to rival you… that's all I wanted to know." I said.

"I think there's no deity that has power equal to mine at all. So I don't think other deities could be behind this."

This is hard, I can't figure out what's happening. But when I think about it, why should it matter to me? Isn't it great that I was able to go back in time… as I wouldn't need to worry whether Riku survived or not.

As the demon's attack doesn't happen yet, meaning that I could still prevent all of that from happening. Plus with my newly acquired power… I'm sure I could be-

"Hey! Stop daydreaming and figure out what's happening here. As this isn't what…"

Before Goddess Enous could finish off what she's going to say, I cut in.

"I'm just going to tell you this, it wasn't my problem, to begin with. You should think it on your own… as this going back in time doesn't concern me at all." I said that as I realized there's no need for me to overthink about it since it doesn't affect me much.

"What! Are you going to disobey me! I'm a God and you dare-"

"You're indeed Goddess in this world but unfortunately for you… I didn't worship you at all so I couldn't care less!" I said as I was just about to walk away from there but something made me stop my movement.

It's not like I was bound by magic or something like that… simply because Goddess Enous started to cry which kinda made me feel guilty about all of the things I said.

I might be a little too harsh on Goddess Enous, it's clear that Goddess Enous doesn't want this to happen and for me to just leave her like this. It does make me a very pathetic guy, to be honest here.

Plus I should remember that she's the one that gives me the power of White Art… also without I wouldn't be alive now as I might just be a wandering spirit in the heavenly realms.

"I'm sorry for the thing I said earlier, I will try to help you… to figure out what's happening here." I said that as I wiped her tears with my hand. "A Goddess like you shouldn't cry over something like this… shouldn't you be tough, unlike us humans."

Goddess Enous looked at me, she hugged me as she then said something which shocked me. I couldn't believe what I'm hearing at all.

This person whom I believe was Goddess Enous was not her at all. This girl confesses that she isn't the deity as she's just an angel that works under the Goddess Enous. She simply pretends to be the Goddess…

I didn't expect this at all, I believe that she's the real Goddess Enous…

Knowing about this does make sense in some way as I am beginning to understand why she doesn't know a lot of stuff that a god or a goddess is supposed to know. But there's something that I couldn't understand and that was the reason she's lying to me.

"Why would you do this? You know that imposing a Goddess is wrong…" I said that towards this fake Goddess Enous.

"I know it's wrong but-" The fake Goddess Enous stopped halfway as she didn't finish giving me the answer I needed to hear at all.

I thought it was because of something personal but it wasn't at all. As I turned behind and looked as if it was the high priest, with other acolytes as well standing behind me. I don't know what's happening but I don't like where this is going.

The high priest then looked at me as he then said, "I heard from the other acolytes that the both of you are doing some indecent stuff."

Wait! What!? I was completely shocked upon hearing that. What indecent stuff? Both of us doesn't do anything at all, besides how could the high priest could get a hold of this information as no one besides-

It can't be!?

Did Aron rat us out… but why would he do that. Isn't he is my friend and doesn't he already promise me that he isn't going to tell anyone, especially the high priest about this stuff?

Can't believe that Aron breaks his promise.

But is this Aron's fault to begin with? As I don't believe he could do this… I am aware that I have not known him for that long but it's just impossible for him to do this towards me.

Because I still remember what happened when Aron saw that I'm going to be in the front lines. He did everything he could to prevent me from going in there… Seeing that made me realize how much he values our friendship.

So I have doubts about Aron breaking his promise to me here.

All of this might be my fault, to begin with. Maybe other acolytes hear the sound from her yelling and of course, spot us when we're getting out of the male dormitory. When I think about it, this might be the actual reason for it.

"We're not doing some indecent stuff at all, we just have a little talk and that's all!" I said that towards the high priest.

But seeing the high priest's facial expressions, it seems like he's not going to believe what I'm going to say at all. Still, it's understandable as I had no proof to back up my previous statement at all.

"I'm afraid I couldn't believe you… it's a shame since I thought you would be a good priest." The high priest said as I clearly could see his disappointed face.
