Aiden opened the door to the underground dungeon and immediately met Melifilia's gaze.
"Congratulations..." Melifilia immediately offered her congrats, "Looking at you, you must have obtained the unique authority."
"...Sigh." Aiden sat down on the chair where he usually played chess and suddenly let out a sigh.
"Oh, what's wrong? You've won the ticket to the divine throne that countless people dream of, shouldn't you be a bit happier?" Melifilia examined Aiden.
"What's there to congratulate me on? This 'unique authority' isn't something I won, but something 'you' arranged to be delivered into my hands. In the end, I just completed a task you set up for me," Aiden shrugged, "I don't feel any real sense of victory."
"Isn't completing a trial from the gods something to be happy about?" Melifilia said with a smile.
"I'm not one of your followers," Aiden said to Melifilia.
"In that case, you don't need to sigh as soon as you see me," Melifilia scrutinized Aiden's face.
