Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 438 - 30 - Hero Mendel Legacy

After Yuna and Shiori released their tight embrace from my body, my gaze was fixed on the compass and the thick old book that my Goddess had given me as a gift, for completing her weird request.

Yuna and Shiori immediately picked up the items lying on the ground. Yuna picked up a compass, and Shiori picked up a thick, old book that caught my curiosity.

Hero Mendel...

That was the name of a Great Hero who lived in the past, and the legend of his feats as a Great Hero is still widespread today. I have read the magic book he wrote in German language with the help of my Goddess. Thanks to his complicated magic book, now my magic knowledge is in a different realm from the magic knowledge known by mages or witches.

Unlike magic that requires chanting and the formation of magic circles, who generally used to summon magic, the Hero Mendel actually uses a silent magic chant, one that is created without chanting. That was a complex and spontaneous magic chant that originates cast from, inside the mind of the caster.

"A compass... suddenly appeared?" Yuna muttered as she held the compass with the red needle pointing somewhere.

"An old, thick book? I wonder what's inside it..." Shiori muttered as she opened the thick, old book's cover and looked at the first page.

Srraaakkk...

I was also curious about the contents of that thick old book, especially after read the words of Hero Mendel, written on the front cover.

I was very curious about its contents and wanted to read it with Shiori, but I felt that would upset her.

Yuna her mother, who was reading a thick, old book, seems like a mother and daughter, who getting along after a fight for my attention.

It's much better than fighting, though...

It's just that...

I seemed to have been forgotten by the two of them, who were now busy reading a thick old book written directly by Hero Mendel.

I can't lie... if I'm also curious and want to read the book contents too.

[ There's no need to be curious about such an unimportant book, Lily-chan. ]

[ The content is... just a hobby of a man who is too fond of plant monsters... ]

[ Researching the weakness of plant monsters... ]

[ Hunting plant monsters until their extinction... ]

[ Well, if explained directly... it is just a book containing the hatred of the Great Hero in the past towards the plant monster that harassed his fiancée with plant tentacles, which coincidentally... it is the same plant monster, which is currently invading Duchess Kaori's territory. ]

[ I also didn't expect that a book... Which containing racist words towards plant monsters would be a useful guidebook for defeating plant monsters, Teehe~ ]

Based on what my Goddess said, somehow I felt that it was not a safe book for Yuna and Shiori to read.

[ Don't worry, the book has been translated to be more polite and suitable for the general public readers. ]

Not that it would be polite to either of them, right?

Or... that's just plain polite, huh?

Just as I was doubting my Goddess's words, the corner of my eye glanced at Yuna and Shiori, who were busy reading a thick, old book. The compass Yuna was holding also seemed to shift direction after being injected with her magic, to seek something.

A compass that points somewhere, huh?

Let me guess, my Goddess...

That was a compass who pointing to the plant monster she want to hunt, right?

[ Oh, Lily-chan already knows it just from a little piece of information? ]

[ My Lily-chan has grown up with such a mature and sharp mind, I'm so happy! ]

Yeah, I could guess because the pieces of information were pretty clear, and the fact that you were shy to helping them. That already made me sure that compass was related to the plant monster.

After all, they must fight to overcome the invasion of plant monsters that have taken over some of Duchess Kaori's territories. With the limited time and the war between the nobles approaching, I hope Duchess Kaori doesn't push her knights too hard to hunt down the plant monsters.

"Umm... My monarch, if I may ask, what is that?" asked Duchess Kaori, who had been silent without moving to attract attention.

"Only a compass and a thick old book, who will be useful to you," I replied, not showing any obvious intention of helping her.

Just as my Goddess did, I tried not to show my intention to help Duchess Kaori manage her territory that had been taken over by the plant monsters. Besides, it being too much of a hassle, I also didn't have the free time to help Duchess Kaori. Therefore, I asked Jeanne and Furina to assist Duchess Kaori as representatives of the Goddess of Destruction's followers.

With this kind of help, I'm sure it'll be more than enough to take back Duchess Kaori's territory, which is being invaded by plant monsters. Jeanne and Furina also feel responsible for helping Duchess Kaori as a former members of heretical sect who wreaks havoc behind the scenes at the behest of the mother monster.

Their great sins have been cleansed through the purifying fire that burned their bodies, but that does not mean that Jeanne and Furina do not feel guilty about the actions of the heretical sect that has destroyed the harmonious order in this mortal world.

The objective of the heretical sect that is known to the public eye is the summoning of the Goddess of Destruction. But, I am very certain that their main objective is not that, and there is another objective related to the mother monster who has tricked several cursed weapons into recognizing her as the sealed Goddess of Destruction.

"A compass and a thick old book that would be useful to me?" Duchess Kaori asked after hearing my words and tilting her head.

"Yes, it's a compass that can show the direction of the target like a plant monster and that thick old book... U-Uumm, You could say it's a kind of memento from the Hero Mendel, who is famous for hating plant monsters and share their weakness. Just think of it as a gift from me, who wishing you success in reclaiming your territory which still being invaded by plant monsters," I said while smiling gently at Duchess Kaori.

"I-I'm grateful to Lily-sama for this kind of help, but why do Lily-sama's words sound like saying goodbye and wanting to go home?" Duchess Kaori replied with a wry smile and worry for me, who was about to go home.

"Because I'll be home soon," I replied quickly while still smiling gently at her.

"D-Don't go to home, my Monarch! I-I still want to be pampered like Yuna and Shiori!"

"Eh? Why? I'm busy on a military expedition, you know..."

"I-I know... b-but, at least, pampering me first! Then come home in the evening!" Duchess Kaori objected, disagreeing with my urge to go home immediately.

"If I leave this military expedition... That's I'm leading for too long, I'll look like a leader who runs away from responsibility."

"It's okay, just for once, right?"

"I don't know if it will be okay or not," I replied weakly after hearing Duchess Kaori's words.

Swoooshhhh...

Swoooossshhhh...

While I was talking with Duchess Kaori, who wanted me to stay longer until evening, I suddenly felt the hot air of the afternoon blowing against my body.

It felt so hot and strong until it made me look up at the sky of the old castle town and see a red dragon flying high above the sky.

From my position on the ground and looking up at the sky, I recognized the pattern of the giant red dragon's scales well. With the presence of the giant red dragon, I smiled as I saw two familiar figures jumping off its back.

It was the figure of my beloved twin sister...

Cliinngg!!

Cliiinngg!!

From the sky above and hot afternoon, I could see a flash of light shining from the magic staff carried by my twin sisters, and for some reason, they jumped from Sia's back, who was flying high above the sky.

Seeing my twin sisters fall from the sky, intentionally...

Like it or not, I had to do something to help them...

"Haaahhh... they are troublesome," I grumbled a little while pulling the handle of my cursed Odachi and making Duchess Kaori, who was beside me, surprised.

"Um, Lily-sama?" Duchess Kaori said, looking at me with a panicked look in her eyes after Sia's arrival in her giant dragon form, caught everyone's attention.

"Step back, Kaori, I will take care of my twin sisters who deliberately jumped from the high sky." While saying those words, I immediately drew the handle of the cursed Odachi and slashed the thin air beside me, and used the blessing of the Goddess of Nature to grow soft, layered plants.

Sllllaaasshh!!

Bllaaarrr!!

As I slashed the empty airflow beside me, a teleportation slash was created, and several giant, soft layered plants were also ready to be used.

Duchess Kaori heard my words well and immediately took a few steps back, her preparations to catch the body of my twin sister, who was falling from the sky, were complete.

For the next step, I just need to slash my cursed Odachi towards them to create a connected teleportation slash, with exit to soft layered plants.

"They really give me a hard time doing this kind of thing."

"Should I scold them after doing such a reckless act?"

"Ugh... jumping from the high sky... just to get my attention? Hahaha..."

"I really don't know whether to scold or praise their bravery." I took a deep breath and prepared to direct the teleportation slash that would hit my twin sister's body.

The cursed Odachi I still held resonated, bearing the Goddess of Destruction's blessing, which ready to be used for a teleportation slash. With a heavy weight behind every swing, I attempted to execute a precise teleportation slash for saving... my twin sister.

My hand immediately pulled the handle of the cursed Odachi towards the sky and saw a teleportation slash pattern open in the sky, right in front of my twin sister, who was falling from the sky.

Buuggghh!!!

BUUGGGGHHH!!

BOOOOOGGGHHH!!

Luckily, the slash I made didn't miss, and I was able to catch my twin sister's body that was falling from the sky, entering into a teleportation slash that was connected to a teleportation slash exit that was heading towards the giant, soft plant.

The sound of my twin sister's body crashing from a great height and hitting a giant, soft plant caught everyone's attention, including Duchess Kaori's knights, who were already preparing to face the dragon's attack.

Boooogggghh!!

A loud bang was heard again, and I could see the body of another girl who entered the teleportation slash in the third sequence. I immediately looked up at the sky and saw the form of the dragon, who had disappeared above the sky.

"Oh, Sia, huh?"

"Why did you doing something like that, too?" I muttered as I put the cursed Odachi into its sheath.
