I decided to go see Hinokami-sama, the legendary guardian god who lives in the volcano of Magrid, instead of the Dragon Slayer who has disappeared. I left the man who was carrying my luggage at the inn and headed for the temple alone.
This temple was originally used to obtain the "Fire Resistance" sub-skill, but after Hinokami-sama's resurrection, it was being remodeled as a shrine to him.
At the entrance to the temple was a woman dressed as a miko - Kaya, and she was our guide.
...... You're lying!"
I couldn't help but let out a bare-bones tone of voice.
But it was only natural.
The place Kaya led us to was a huge vertical hole with a view of the boiling magma right below.
Ah, um, is Hinokami-sama really here?
Yes, I have heard so.
Hee-hee... ......
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
What are you talking about with a straight face, b*tc*?
You want me to jump in here?
You're going to kill a saint?
I mean, I'm the God of Fire, so it's only natural that I'd be in a place that has something to do with fire, but I didn't hear anything about being inside a magma!
......
At first, I leaned forward from the altar for training.
The moment you do that, you're going to get a blast of unusual heat searing your face.
I'm not sure what to do.
This is not the level of a saint!
If there is anyone who can jump into this, he or she must be either a total idiot or just too awesome!
But now that I have said that I came to see Hinokami-sama as a saint, I will have to do something.
I would have to make it look like I was having a conversation with someone else.
Fortunately, I am a saint, and the average person, Kaya, would not be able to recognize me.
I nodded my head in agreement and thought I'd show her my brilliant performance.
By the way, I'd like to put this in the saint's ear: ......
?"
I was so excited that Kaya suddenly said something like that, and I tilted my head.
I tilted my head. Then, after confirming that no one was around, Kaya announced in a whisper, "Actually, Hinokami-sama has a problem with that.
The truth is, Hinokami-sama has a person who is his messenger, and it is true that Hinokami-sama is here, but the Hinokami-sama you are talking about is his messenger.
...... Yes?"
The first thing that comes to my mind is the fact that the "Hinokami-sama" is the messenger of the "Hinokami-sama.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'd like to know.
I am sure it was.
"Oh, ......."
Then why did I come all the way to this hot place?
If this is the case, why didn't you just stay at the inn with that pig?
By the way, where is the messenger?
Yes, he has gone to Leolinia, a martial arts city on the continent of Las Coralta, east of here, to further his studies.
Leolinia, on the continent of Las Coralta. ......
Where is that already?
She was very nice. ......
And I didn't ask you what you liked!
And I didn't ask you what you liked!
I tried my best to resist the urge to slump my shoulders and finally asked, "By the way, what do you think of the Dragonslayer?
