Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 364 - 72 - How To Take Care A Goddess... Properly?
The words of the Goddess of Nature made me think of something else.
Besides the Forest Elf race that I just saved, it seems that there are several tasks that I must do as a Saintess appointed directly by the Goddess of Nature.
With these endless affairs and interests, I can conclude that there is not only one Elf race living in this dense forest.
Ceesshh...
Cesshhh...
The sound of the purifying fire burning the cursed Odachi sheath extinguished, made me realize the dire situation that was happening at the moment.
The worst possibility is that the Dark Elf race is under the control of a heretical sect and still facing the same problems.
Even though the Goddess of Nature said that she didn’t care about the other Elf race, who didn’t worship her, she still cared about the Dark Elf race, who were in trouble.
I don’t know what the Goddess of Nature is planning.
I hope she doesn’t go too far by forcing me to works, after become part of her Saintess.
Twitch...
Twitch...
My long Elf ears moved up and down after seeing the wave of magical energy coming from the Goddess of Nature, creating a tool shaped like a compass and she winking at me.
Inside her vast Shrine, after manipulating her space and time, the Goddess of Nature is trying to give me another task.
The Goddess of Nature also created a piece of paper that was illuminated by the holy light that came from her holy magical energy.
Right before my eyes, I could see an alliance treaty signed by the Goddess of Nature and the Elven elders. Several copies of the alliance treaty were also given to all Elven girls who were still part of this forest Elf race, including Lisa, who often left her village on business trips and sold me ancient magic books.
With this kind of agreement, the relationship between me and the Forest Elf race is formalized in a legal contract and is blessed by the Goddess of Nature directly.
"Um, my Monarch, is it just my feeling, or is this Goddess of Nature being too pushy about her own will?" whispered Momo, who seemed to have understood the Goddess of Nature’s characteristics.
"I was thinking the same thing, Momo," I whispered back to Momo.
Without waiting for the approval of the Elf girls who had gathered in this spacious Shrine room, the Goddess of Nature made a decision that made the Elf elder take a deep breath and look at me with tears in her eyes.
The look in her eyes seemed to say, "If this is how it ends, why did the Goddess of Nature gather us all in her Shrine?"
With that look in her eyes, the only answer I could give was a heavy sigh and a nod of my head.
"Don’t worry, you’ll get used to this after you get to know other Goddesses who are far more selfish than the Goddess of Nature," I whispered, moving my lips so that the Elf elder could read clearly and raising my thumb.
Ting!!
Ting!!
With such emotional encouragement, the Elf elder in front of me also breathed a sigh of relief as if resigned to the current situation.
I would do the same if the decision of one powerful individual suddenly overturned a decision involving many people. A clear example of this is the Goddess of Nature suddenly agreeing to the alliance between Marquess Rommel’s family and the forest elves.
"Tell me, Lily-sama."
"Do the other Goddesses always act like this?" the Elf elder asked, reassuring herself.
I just smiled at the question and nodded.
Nod...
"There are some Goddesses who just do whatever they want. The Goddess of Nature is not the only Goddess who has a bad character like this," I said while calming the Elf elder about the unilateral decision made by the Goddess of Nature.
"The only thing we can do at this point is submit and obey her. After all, she is a Goddess you worship, right?" I continued, glancing at the Goddess of Nature, who was smiling contentedly at the piece of paper containing the alliance agreement.
"Well, there’s no other way we can do it but accept it," said the Elf elder, resigned to this unilateral decision.
I immediately kept the piece of paper containing the Goddess of Nature’s agreement, which said that the Elven elders had agreed to be part of the Marquess Rommel family alliance indefinitely.
"If my parents knew about this, they would definitely scream and faint," I muttered as I rolled up the piece of alliance agreement paper and put it in my magic storage box.
Swiisshh...
Poooff...
Throwing the piece of paper containing the alliance agreement somewhere safe, I immediately prepared to carry out the task that the Goddess of Nature would give me next.
The compass she had just created gave me a bad feeling. It was as if it were always pointing me in the direction I needed to go in this vast, dense forest.
Moving into the dense forest with a clear goal is indeed necessary.
But I have to do other things like mapping, recording plants, and recording things that live in the forest.
Alyssa was already busy enough recording both common and magical plants, and it had already taken up quite a bit of her time before several new magical plants were discovered.
If only there were an Elf who understood the dense forest in more detail, it would help me shorten the time needed to carry out the military expedition after the main objective of this military expedition had been achieved.
I could have refused the request from the Goddess of Nature and gone home.
However, I was a little awkward about doing that to the Goddess of Nature.
"In the end, I couldn’t refuse this one, huh?" I muttered in a low, tired voice.
[ Lily-chan, please... ]
[ Please grant my request. ]
[ It has been a long time since I wanted to get a new follower who came from the Dark Elves. ]
[ Even though Lily-chan looks like a Dark Elf with her sweet light brown skin, I still want to get followers who are from the Dark Elf race. ]
[ I won’t complain if it fails... the important thing is to try first. ]
[ I beg you to do this, Lily-chan... ]
The Goddess of Nature begged me with a pleading look and handed me a compass that pointed somewhere.
With such pressure and coercion, especially from the Goddess of Nature, I could only accept her request.
"I don’t know how long this will last, but if it exceeds the preparation time for the war season between the nobles, I will rush home using the teleportation slash from the cursed Odachi," I said, agreeing to the request of the Goddess of Nature.
[ Ehehe... that’s enough to try it first. ]
[ The Dark Elf race has a slightly military disciplined nature and tends to obey clear rules. I’m sure they will submit to Lily-chan after seeing Lily-chan’s great leadership spirit.]
[ By subduing them using great force, it is enough to make them submit like domestic dogs! ]
I don’t know what kind of views the Goddess of Nature has that would make me suitable to take care of these forest Elves and Dark Elves.
Reluctantly, I accepted the compass given to the Goddess of Nature and saw that the needle pointed north.
Swiirrll...
Swiirrll...
The compass needle rotates several times as if pointing to a random location.
[ Ohh, the compass still works, apparently.... ]
Before I could understand what was happening, I had already received my answer, the Goddess of Nature was manipulating space and time within her Shrine to ensure her compass was working properly.
With a wave of her hand, the space and time outside her Shrine shifted rapidly, causing the compass needle to spin rapidly.
Swiirrll...
Swiirrll...
With the compass needle spinning rapidly, I exhaled to get ready to leave after getting this new assignment. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
It is truly a shame that this military expedition is still not over and continues to search for the residence of the Dark Elf race, who are having difficulty facing cursed weapons as well.
Swiipp...
Swiipp...
Just as I was lamenting my fate of not being able to return home quickly, my arm was suddenly pulled by the Elf elder, and I heard her soft whispering voice.
"Lily-sama, do you have any advice for dealing with a Goddess whose behavior is difficult to understand?" the elder Elf whispered, making me smile.
Never mind the Elf elders, I don’t know what to do about this either...
However, there is one thing that can be done after a Goddess’s weakness is known...
"After this, you must make a statue of the flat-breasted Goddess of Nature," I replied in a whisper that made the Elf elder wonder about my answer.
"One of the followers of the Goddess Aurora used this cunning method to control Goddess selfishness. With the rumor that the Goddess of Nature had fake breasts, believed by all her followers, she would inevitably receive visual humiliation from her followers. Wouldn’t that be interesting after seeing the Goddess of Nature being so overbearing and selfish... like this?" I continued, whispering, giving a detailed explanation of the counterattack against the Goddess of Nature’s selfishness.
I don’t hold any grudges against her, but her followers seem to have their own. Especially the Elven elder, who seems to be harboring another grudge she’s been harboring for a long time.
Apart from her slightly pushy nature and behavior, I have no other complaints about the Goddess of Nature.
After all, my Goddess also has similar traits. Like forcing me to buy three sets of key chains that turn my magic staff into a sacred artifact.
I like this plan of her, though, so there’s still a door of forgiveness open for her.
"Thank you for your advice, Lily-sama."
"I just want to take out my anger on this Goddess who is difficult to control and understand."
"If she had acted like a Goddess of Nature should, I might not have felt this upset," said the Elf elder with a sly smile.
I don’t want to get too involved in the problems between the Goddess and her own followers.
Seeing the opportunity to escape from this place, I grabbed the cursed Odachi that was floating beside me.
"Uhm, if there’s nothing else you want to say? If not... I’ll be going to continue my delayed military expedition, Goddess of Nature," I said to the Goddess of Nature with my left hand that had drawn the cursed Odachi from its sheath to create a teleportation slash.
Slash!!
Bwaang!!
With a teleportation slash that split the air in front of me, I prepare to going back to central command tent.
[ Are you going home already, Lily-chan? ]
[ At least take a shower first before going home, before continuing your military expedition. ]
[ Ah! I almost forget! Lily-chan can also bring one of the Elf girls who understands this dense forest. ]
[ Although their memories have been getting worse lately due to spending too much time in the underground cave, there are still some fragments of memories that make them remember their residence in the forest. ]
Ckuutt...
Ckuutt...
Without a doubt, I could sense the anger emanating from the Elven elder, the veins in her head throbbing. As a seemingly mature and long-lived Elf, the Goddess of Nature’s words seemed to insult the Elven elder, calling her senile due to her old age.
"I did think about this before," I replied before stepping into the teleportation slash and avoiding another troublesome request from the Goddess of Nature.
"I will come again after the preparations for the main soldiers on my military expedition are complete. Please prepare an Elf girl guide who understands the conditions of this dense forest, Elven Elder," I continued, using the coercive technique that the Goddess of Nature had used earlier.
Srrusshh...
"I will try to prepare it, Lily-sama," said the Elf elder, who didn’t seem to mind too much.
The Elven Elder bowed to me as if in respect for my departure, followed by the kneeling motions of the Elven maidens inside the Shrine of the Goddess of Nature.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I’ll pick her up around the dead trunk of the Tree of Life," I said as I walked into the teleportation slash.
Tap...
Tap...
By stepping into the teleportation slash, I had already avoided some of the troublesome things that came from the Goddess of Nature.
Ping!!
[ Yurification System: The Goddess of Nature has granted the blessing of time and space manipulation! ]
Nggingg!!
Nggging!!
"Kuuuhh!! What is this?!"
Suddenly, my head felt unbearably dizzy after receiving a blessing from the Goddess of Nature, who was able to manipulate space and time.
