When Father Luke followed him under the floor, there was a staircase like one made of solidified soil. Head down to the basement, a few steps and you'll hear a noise up there, and the floor that was open will automatically close. Plus, the stairs disappear after we walk.

"This, hey... magic?

"Yes. It is the earthly magic of Master Eich. In addition to this abandoned house, there are several other entrances and exits all over town, but even if they do, this is how the beasts can't come in and out."

I guess the wizard named Eich applies earthly magic and creates settlements underground inhabited by humans. Soil magic is magic that, if highly proficient, can also create vast underground spaces. But it takes a kind of gift, like one in every other.

You probably looked at my face and guessed it even if you didn't put it in your mouth. Father Luke laughed.

"Master Eich is the sister of the legendary wizard Colt."

Colt - he's certainly a sorcerer who was on the Demon King's Crusade with Saint Ya the last time he attacked Ixfolia. And he also became the food of the Demon King with us in previous life...

The walls next to the stairs were at regular intervals and the light was lit. Unlike lamps and potatoes, stones embedded in the soil appear to be emitting light. I guessed it was a 'Demonic Light Stone' with the magical power to emit light.

As we descend the long stairs, Holy Ya asks the priest.

"But how can you do this and cage in the basement? If we use that dirt magic and the dots well, can we even get out of town?

"No. We can't leave Galvano." Ball of Curse "- As long as Bunogeos has this magic guide, the humans out of town will be ashed. Most importantly, there is no place in Ixfolia where humans can live in peace when they get out of this town…"

"Ah!! Why can't we just go back to the Unified Divine Realm?

Talking about the wall that appeared inside the gate to the divine world, Father Luke nodded, "Probably."

"Bunogeos, the beast demon with the ball of curse, is a newly created monster after the demon king made the world his own and benefited from the evil gods, under the command of the Beast King (Jukou) Grand Leon, who rules this Ladral continent where we live"

I am astonished by what the priest said.

"Chi, wait a minute! Isn't Bunogeos the boss of this continent?

"Bunogeos is just ruling this town. It is the Beast King (Jukou) Grand Leon who dominates the continent. It's a monster that they say gently outweighs Bunogeos."

Even the status of Bunogeos surpasses that of Geabrande's Four Heavenly Kings, an outrageous talent!! Even more so!?

Without even knowing my mind, Holy Ya slaps Don in the chest with his fist.

"Uhm. There's no shortage for them"

"Oh! The boulder was chosen, Lord Brave! How reliable!"

The priest seems happy... but no, you know, I'm sorry. This brave man, it's just his mouth. As it is now, I can afford to lose to Bunogeos, yes, definitely......

"... Come on, we're here"

The long underground staircase is finally over. I see a big kannon opening door in front of me.

Is it like a secret signal? When the priest struck the hinge five times with an irregular rhythm, the door opened with a noise.

"Wow......!

I look in the door. I leak an exclamation.

That's a vastness that I don't think is underground. A private house connects the houses, illuminated by countless demonic stones provided for high ceilings. Far away, you can also see fields where blue crops grow.

Sacred Aya was also impressed and snorted.

"Wow. Wow. Looks like there's another town underground."

"We build fields and live discreet but self-sufficient. There is only light from demonic stones, so it doesn't grow much healthy crops..."

You must have heard in advance that the priest was bringing us here. In front of them were young and old, dozens lined up side-by-side.

I try to smile and wave at the residents, but they don't respond.

"Oh, that?

In Gearbrande, the people had a sense of respect for the goddess and the brave. But everyone here has a staring look at us.

When I felt a little uncomfortable, a young man with steel armor walked towards us from among the crowd. He was a short-haired, sharp-eyed man.

"This is Brat, the leader of our settlement, The Light of Hope."

Even though the priest was introducing him, Bratt didn't stop and suddenly grabbed his chest as he walked over to Zukazuka in front of Sacred Aya. Speak a dosty voice.

"That face...... still for sure!! Temei, you're still alive!!

"Hey, what is it, all of a sudden you!?

Not only me, but Father Luke screams in panic.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Master Bratt!?

Bratt, staring at Holy Eye, gave the priest a rough voice.

"Father!! You don't know!? He is a brave man who failed the Demon King Crusade a year ago!!

"Nah......!?

Father Luke to cease. Bratt keeps talking hatefully.

"I hear that both Master Colt and Princess Tiana of the Kingdom of Tarmaine were killed by the Demon King! But only he escaped and hid somewhere!! And now he's here!!

Yes...... I was reborn from Princess Tiana to become a goddess and spent a hundred years in the slow-moving divine world of time. So the appearance is completely different from that of Princess Tiana I saw in the crystal balls. But for Sacred Ya, it happened only a year ago. His face and appearance have hardly changed. In other words, it's obvious from the people who met Holy Ya before.

Brat thrusts Sacred Eye hard.

"Se, seiya!?

A folk rushing over to the defeated Saint Yiu, but watching what was going on behind his back, began to rave his voice in his mouth.

"Ho, it's true! I saw it a year ago, too! He's a former brave man!

"Yes!" Leave it to me, "he slapped his big mouth! But in the end, the demon king destroyed Ixfolia!

"It's your fault! All my family is dead because of you!

Nearly all the people, who were in the settlement, began to slam and grumble at Holy Blessing. If you notice, we are surrounded by people with sticks and farm tools.

- This is it!? Not only are demons of unusual status, but also people living in Ixfolia hostile to us!? This is the difficulty ss ss!! What are you going to do, Holy Ya!?

But Seiya looks back at me in a calm manner.

"Hey, goddess. Is it true what the people here are saying? Have I ever been to this world before?

I can't help but hide it. I tell the truth.

"Yeah...... it's the second time you've come to Ixfolia. And the last time you failed to save this world..."

"Right..."

Soon after, Sacred Ya fell to the ground.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?

That's an unexpected sight for me! What a young deserted saint you are sitting in the ground to the people! Plus, make a bittersweet voice!

"I'm sorry. Forgive me."

Yes, I don't want to! Hey, I don't like it! I can't believe Holy Ya is grounded!! What you're doing may be splendid...... but...... I don't want to see this holy shit!!

The people who were surrounded by the sudden apology were silent for a moment, but eventually one man shook up a mess.

"Fucking kidding!! I need to keep one head down. Then hey!!

"Master Colt or Princess Tiana is like you killed them!!

"Yes, yes!!

Someone threw a stone at Sacred Eye. The stone hits the head of Holy Blessing, who does not even try to deflect it. Cutting it off, the people of the Light of Hope were beaten to death by Holy Blessings.

"Hey, hey!? Stop!! Stop it!!

"Ugh!!

I tried to stop the outrage but someone pushed me and I fell to the ground.

"If you stop!! Don't do anything terrible to Holy Ya!!

Screaming but the violence never stops. The older women had a chilling eye on me.

"Hmm. What a goddess. You're no different from us."

"The redhead goddess who was there last time was a scumbag, too. You think the Demon King ate anything? If you feel sorry for me, I won't."

"Don't say anything bad about Aria!!

When they look back, they look back in an even more amazing shape.

"This world is not doomed because of you...!

And they crept at me.

- Ugh, wow!! Am I gonna get beat up too!?

Before I realized I was scared, a brave man who managed to get himself up stood up.

"Please don't. I'm the bad one."

"Shh, Sacred Blessings...!!

"Mr. Broadcast isn't bad"

!! No, who is it, it!? I've been so far away that I can't see Listarte anymore!? When the hell will you remember your name,?

But more than that, it seems that covering me bought more popular anger, and Sacred Aya started getting beaten up again. The level of Sacred Blessing is fifty. There shouldn't be that much damage due to the high defense... but I still can't resist.

- Why!? How come you came here to save the world and you have to see me like this!?

I almost burst into tears, then.

"Please don't"

High, Rin's voice sounds, and the hands of the people stop perfectly.

At the end of everyone's gaze stood a girl who was not even old enough. Like the rest of us, the poor figure but thin arms are decorated.

"Dear Eich......!

Someone squeaks like that with a blur.

"Gentlemen. Please don't. Brother Colt doesn't want that."

Wizard Eich, who said he created this settlement with earthly magic, was far younger than I imagined. Feels like I saw it, is it six or seven? With one voice of a girl even smaller than Elle, the riot in the settlement heals.

"Oh, thanks......"

I thank Eich, but the girl's eyes were also cold again.

"Dear Goddess, brave man. Thank you for coming. But I don't expect it. Because there can't be anyone who can defeat Artemaius the Demon King."

- Demon King...... Artemios......!

When I heard the name of the demon king of Ixfolia, an indescribable unpleasant feeling ran through my whole body. In a previous life, my soul, killed by the Demon King, may have reacted.

"It's no longer possible to save this world."

When he ruled the riot, Eich turned back on his heels and left us. The people also spit and tongue, while walking away.

The ones left were the worn out Saint Aya and me, and Father Luke and Bratt.

Brat stares at me.

"Hey, goddess. You did say 'Broadcast'?

"No, it's Listarte..."

"Whatever. Are you really going to defeat the Demon King and save this world?

"I was going to..."

"Then what can you do?

I just want to say "cure," but its power is now sealed.

"... for appraisal"

Then Brad looked frightened.

"I can do that. Can't you do anything else?

"There are wings. I can fly."

Lista Wing can express herself if Isister gives her permission......!

"Order!! (Enforcement of the Act on Special Measures in the Divine Realm)"

I raise my voice. But nothing happens.

... Yes. I knew it wouldn't work. Master Isister and I were also speechless. I didn't think I could do it from the start because I couldn't go home.

"I don't think I can use it at all."

Bratt's gaze pierced me, and I strengthened my tone.

"And I won't die! The goddess won't die!

"Immortal? Is that true?"

Bratt asks Father Luke next door, not me. The priest snorts.

"Heritage tells us that the goddess will not die. It must be true what you say."

"Ho."

Heh! What do you say? Have you reviewed it for a second? Ah... but on second thought, if the enemy had a chain distribution, they'd kill him... and Ixfolia. Then the werewolf and the bunogeos would have it...

I decided to be honest.

"After all, I die occasionally"

"!! What do you mean die occasionally!? That's not immortal, is it?

Bratt screamed, but eventually, after a sigh, scratches his head tight.

"To the occasional dying goddess, the brave man who failed last time? Oh, that's funny. Heaven still doesn't seem willing to save Ixfolia."

And Brad turns a cold glance at us.

"But I need more help than I've come. Let's say we defeat the Demon King. You can take down as many of my men as you can, Bunogeos, right?

"Oh, that's..."

Sacred Blessing's level was MAX when he defeated the warrior emperor who turned into a demon in Gearbrande. It is absolutely impossible at level 50 as it stands to defeat Bunogeos with the same status. But...

"Okay. I'm gonna knock you down."

I guess I've been listening to you in silence. Waking up her hurt body, Sacred Aya said so with clarity.

"Bunogeos creates a market out of town where they can sell and buy humans, where they grow slaves. Defeat the Bunogueos and let them go."

Whether you really want to fight Bunogeos or not, anyway, it looks like you should get out of this place early. But that being said, the earth is a nest of enemies with high status on the ground.

"Let me at least get ready!

That's what I complained to Brad. I want to keep my weapons and protective gear on, even if I'm leaving the light of hope.

Bratt rang his nose, slapping Father Luke on the shoulder and walking straight away somewhere. Father Luke, left behind, has a gentle face, pointing to a man sitting on top of Goza a little further away.

"That's the tool shop."

As in the case of Geabrande, in advance Master Isister had given me the currency of Ixforia. I take out a sachet with money from my nostalgia and head to the tool store...... but all the tools arranged on top of Goza are demonic stones and farm tools that emit light. It only displays what you need for everyday life. I expected an item that could cure the confusion of Sacred Blessing, but it seemed that there were no herbs or even poisonous weeds.

"Father Luke. Besides tool stores, no weapons stores or armor stores?

"Unfortunately not. We don't have enough supplies here."

Aria was right. There's not going to be any decent gear in the conquered Ixfolia.

Next to me dropping my shoulders, I heard a crouched voice.

"Hey, you. Won't you change your job? If you want to change it, I'll change it, okay?

He was an elderly man with little or no front teeth. Father Luke introduces me.

"This is Enzo. This is the 'Baptist' of the Light of Hope. If you ask the Baptist, you can move from your current position."

Holy Ya had a face that didn't fall on her heart.

"Job? Aren't my professions brave?

Enzo shakes his head to the side.

"There is no such thing as a brave man in this world.... whichever. Uh... Your position is" Magic Warrior ". That's Flame-based Magic Warrior, too."

Sacred Aya at the time of Geabrande remembered the spells of various lineages, but it still seems the magic of fire is the basis. As with Phoenix Drive and Phoenix Thrust this time around, I have already mastered powerful flame-based magic swords.

Enzo laughed.

"A wizard and a warrior... a senior position where two positions go hand in hand -" Magic Warrior "? There are only boulders, brave men. But if you stop being a magic swordsman, you can choose two different types of jobs instead... What do you want me to do?

As far as I'm concerned, I wanted to ask you what other job you have.

"No, I don't mind if the job stays this way"

Sacred Aya answers instantly. Sacred Yi at a prudent time would have listened to the details and might have asked... Well, even as far as I am concerned, I agree that the current situation does not change my position. Magic warriors are senior positions. That can't be the alternative job, and if you change your job suddenly, it might take a while to get used to it. We can't afford that right now.

"All right. Let's go then"

Sacred Aya, who feels deviant, walks ahead to the exit of the light of hope. When I approached the door, Father Luke said, "Wait a minute," as he remembered something, and ran small. Then he comes back with a sheath.

"Bring this sword. It's rusty, but it's better than not."

"Oh, thank you!

"Good luck..."

I thanked him and waved to the priest.

And, behold, when I look next door, Sacred Ya shines his face, and he lifts his rusty sword wide.

"Uhm. Now we can win 120%"

"No... I don't know. 'I got Excalibur! Don't be confident like'... That sword, it's rusty...?

"Ganaby O.K. (figure it out)"

"Not that, I'd like to hear Lady Perfectly..."

"What, is that?

"Ha..."

Bearing a huge anxiety that was about to crush me, I followed the light of hope...
