When Selesina arrived at the Great Temple, Hel was the first to greet her.
Â
âMaybe he thinks Iâm bringing potato chipsâŠâŠâ, I thought to myself.
Â
But Hel greeted me politely and told me that he was replacing Lucaria, who was too busy to meet me.
Â
âWelcome. It is a pleasure to meet you here.â
âThank you for welcoming me, Master Hel.â
âYou must be tired after your long journey. We have prepared a room for you if you would like to come with us.â
âYes.â
Â
The room we arrived in, escorted by Hel, was very spacious. There was a window facing a courtyard with a huge tree, and if you looked down from there, you could see the tree.
Itâs no wonder that she was treated so well. Itâs purely amazing that you can see all the trees that ordinary people canât even see every day.
But at the same time, it makes me miss my own big tree.
Â
(But donât be sad!)
Â
When Selesina looked up, she saw that Hisui was being explained something by the priest.
Â
âOh, he decided to become a priest because he wanted to follow Selesina, didnât he?
 He said heâd talk about it and explain the room.â
âI seeâŠâŠ.â
Â
Maybe it was because Selesina was looking at me strangely, but Hel told me.
Hisui had been an apprentice butler, so he was basically able to do most of the work, but as expected in a large temple, there would be many things that would change. It seems that both Selesina and Hisui will be busy for a while.
Hisui noticed Selesinaâs gaze and came over to us.
Â
âMaster Sele. I need to get my vestments and stuff, so can I leave for a while?â
âOf course.â
âThank you very much.â
Â
(Oh, so Hisui will be wearing vestments tooâŠâŠ.)
Â
He looked good in his apprentice butlerâs uniform, but Iâm sure he would look good in vestments as well. If he just stood there quietly, he would make a mysterious boy.
Â
When Hisui and the priest left the room, I was alone with Hel.
Â
(Even though heâs Lord Lucariaâs brother, itâs still not good.)
Â
When I looked at Hel, I saw that he had relaxed his shoulders and was slouching, unlike before. The priest was gone, and he seemed to have stopped slouching.
Â
(The gap is terribleâŠ..)
Â
As Selesina chuckled, Hel said, âYes, thatâs it.â
Â
âYou want to see the big tree? I saw you were looking out the window.2
âWhat, you donât mind if I goâŠâŠ?â
âNot at all. The only person here who can say no to me and Selesina is Lucaria. And he wouldnât say that, so itâs not a problem.â
âHelâŠâŠ.â
Â
Itâs a very selfish thing to say.
But in reality, itâs probably like that, so itâs indeed not a problem to go.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the âNovel Multiverse dot comâ website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Â
âWell, since weâre here, letâs go to the big tree.â
âOh.â
Â
Using the inner spiral staircase, Selesina and Hel came to the bottom of the Great Tree. Itâs been a while since Iâve seen it, but the Great Tree in the Great Temple has a different presence than those in other territories.
When I came here before, I touched the tree and realized how great my blessings were.
Â
(Is it okay to touch it without permission?)
Â
Now I know the name of the goddess who blesses me, and my reaction when I touch the tree may be different.
However, it might not be a good idea to touch it without permission. She stretched out her hand in a worried manner, âNo!â And then Selesina withdrew her hand.
Â
âWhat are you doing?â
âWhoa!â
Â
Hel, who had been watching Selesinaâs actions, grabbed Selesinaâs wrist and let her touch the tree, saying, âIf you want to touch it, just touch it.â
Â
Immediately, light danced around Selesinaâs body. Rose Redâs left eye turned baby pink and a sign of blessing appeared.
The same mystical phenomenon that happened back thenâŠ
Â
ăPilon! A hidden quest has occurred!ăă
Save Hel!
If you change the fate of Hel, who will be resurrected as the last boss, youâll gain the skill [Saintâs Prayer].
Â
âI gulped.
Â
(Hey, hey, hey, whatâs this quest? I donât get it!)
Â
There were hidden quests in the game, but all the information about them was in the strategy book. However, Iâm pretty sure there was no such quest in the game.
To begin withâ
Â
(In the first place, only I, who was blessed by the Goddess of Fate, can do this!)
Â
Definitely, she canât be a heroine.
Not knowing what to make of it, Selesinaâs mind was in chaos.
Â
âWhatâs wrong? Selesina.â
âOh, uhm, nothing. I was so moved by the tree that I couldnât even speak.â
âWhatâs that?â
Â
Hel, who had been worried about her, laughed at Selesinaâs response.
But Selesina was far more than that. The new hidden quest seemed to be a way to save Hel, too.
Â
(But you canât use the power of the blessing freelyâŠâŠ.)
Â
In fact, no option appears when you look at Hel.
Â
(Oh, then why donât you just go âŠâŠ and pray to the big tree?)
Â
I think that maybe I can power up.
Selesina slowly closed her eyes as she touched the great tree.
Â
âI am a servant of Norn, Goddess of Fate. Please let me hear her voiceâŠâ
Â
Then Selesinaâs heart turned hot. She knew intuitively that the goddess Norn must have responded to her.
But it wasnât enough to hear her voice.
Â
(Please, tell me how to help Hel âŠâŠ!)
Â
I tried to pray desperately, but the fever gradually diminished and disappeared.
Â
(No? âŠâŠ)
Â
When Selesina opened her eyes, her baby pink eyes had returned to their original rose red. It seems that she still needs more training to be able to use the power of the blessing.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the âNovel Multiverse dot comâ website @ novelmultiverse.com]
