The Goddess is watching over me?
Despite the initial shock, Matthew soon felt relieved.
Indeed, he had many secrets, but if the Magic Goddess were to learn of them,
she would not only abstain from smiting him with divine punishment but also very likely increase her support.
After all, no one wishes to die, let alone deities.
Of course, if the Magic Goddess "did not know," this could also be seen as a test by Matthew.
The reason Matthew had come here was to make use of the banner of the Magic Goddess.
Many issues could be avoided by attributing them to the Goddess—spawning far fewer disasters and troubles.
In essence, Matthew merely believed that the Magic Goddess was a useful deity.
This simple understanding from his homeland had always guided him.
Do not foster useless deities!
Naturally, Matthew had never openly promoted such a blasphemous idea; he had only acted upon it.
