Even Posing as a Hero is Easy–Why? Cause I’m a God–

The Royal Library was in the middle of the city, by the castle.

Contrary to a castle like a palace with several high spires, it was a stone square building. It looks gray and sturdy.

Me and Celica went inside. The bookshelves are narrow and wooded.

The building was full of scents of old books. The windows are small to avoid discoloration due to sunlight. The magic lights had been on since daylight.

The ground floor, just after entering, has many frequently viewed drawings and utility books.

Upstairs is the literary and artistic department.

Records and the like were kept underground. I don't know how many floors there are underground, but after the second basement, they only let people of high stature in.

I looked into the demon octopus to be tested before going down to the first basement.

Octopaston, by the way, was a demon with spider arms and octopus feet on the horns of sheep.

Find mythological associations.

The mythology of this world was very similar to other myths. Genesis God made the world and made the gods of children rule. God of the sky, God of the earth, God of trees, water and fire, etc.

Of which it seems that a holy God named the newly born Vernus God has grown in strength and is believed in by many. They have the power to defeat demon kings and demons.

Monks and clerics in this country were also Vernus.

That's okay, I didn't see a god named Rapisia.

"I didn't know."

Celica puts her hand on her cheek and exhales.

"I've never heard of it... Which way did you name it?

"Oh, hey, pinch it in your little ear at the tavern"

"Was I? Can we find out more?

"I want to know more about rituals for the gods than that"

If you can't defeat it, you just have to quell the rough soul.

I doubt it will work where outsiders in the world like me complain.

First, it's going to be petrified while we're doing the ritual.

He said no micha, so maybe if you don't see him, you can handle it. Like the Gorgon of Greek mythology.

Unexpectedly stop and squeal.

"A mirror..."

"What's wrong?

"I'm just trying to figure out how to deal with a petrifying attack."

"There shouldn't be that many dangerous monsters out there."

"Rumor has it you're leaving. Huh."

"Such a horrible thing..."

"Well, worst of all, there's another way."

Do I have to use my wife's hand?

Tease the whale pull and choose other than number three.

If you can decide on your own, not a whale, poke a gap in the guard and remove all the paper on the number affixed to the tower of trial and shift one by one.

That way we can break through safely.

... but I can't help the god of my child who taught me no michada that's it.

Plus, you'll have escaped Gaff's plot.

For me, God, that's unbearable.

A perfect victory over a dirty guy is the real victory.

"I sell holy water, the land that cures petrification. But it is very expensive when it comes to preventing petrification. My hand..."

Celica relaxed and said. There is a sad shadow on his neat face.

It's hard not to have money.

But petrification is harder.

If I get stoned, I can't move, and if I get crushed, I can't go back to normal anymore.

"No, really?

"Kaika?

"You just have to be stoned from the beginning!!

"My voice is so loud, it's crazy."

I grabbed the hem of Japanese clothing and was pulled.

Then a clerk in a long robe even came to the myth-related bookshelf where we were. He's smiling, but his eyes are angry.

"What's wrong? Did you find what you were looking for?

"Ugh, I'm sorry I shouted. I was looking into a god named Lapisia, and I couldn't find him."

"Lapisia? - Yeah, it's not here."

"Huh? You know!?

"Yes, that's one of those minor old stories. I thought it was titled 'Mother's Love'. It wasn't exactly about God, it was about a child made between God and man, the setting."

"Oh, that, where can I read it!?

"I was wondering if you left it where I collected books for kids upstairs."

"Thanks! That was helpful!

I see, you weren't in the myth because you're a demigod!

The clerk put blood vessels on his temples smiling.

"And in the library, be quiet, please"

"Excuse me."

"I'm sorry."

Me and Celica went upstairs apologizing.

Out of the dim basement, the ground floor with sunlight coming in through the small window felt warm just that.

Go where there are books for children.

I pulled 'Mother's Love' out of a bookshelf lined with picture books.

Read it now. This was the story.

The goddess of the earth fell in love with a man of man.

I lived happily and had a child.

But it was unforgivable as God.

Knowing the situation, the Genesis God orders the Goddess to kill the child.

The goddess tried to kill the child.

But the child was too quiet to kill.

I even think about dying and begging for forgiveness instead.

But if you do that, the earth dies.

But the goddess and her husband come up with a name.

He lied about killing a child, put it in a coffin, buried it in the earth and hid it.

The wrath of the Genesis God was also quenched, and the goddess and her husband lived for the last long time.

The child continues to sleep easily, still embraced by her mother's earth.

Congratulations, congratulations.

... Is that Lapisia?

I know it's pretty distorted, but still, old stories often tell a side of the truth.

I mean, I guess this is better with my mother's help than with getting Rapisia herself angry.

Probably the quickest way to bury it.

I looked sunny and told Celica I was supposed to be nearby.

"All right. It's got a little bit of a temple on it. Let's go home."

"Huh, ah, yes"

I'm about to drop a book that Celica held in her hand. I was reading another picture book.

"You like picture books?

"This is a book your mother used to read to me. It's my favorite story."

"Heh."

"It's a story about a girl who's tired of her spare time and finds her prince at the end of her adventure."

"Heh."

"It's so wonderful!

I sparkled my blue eyes and said it out as powerfully as a dreaming maiden.

"Huh. Good for you. Let's go home."

"Oh, you don't know how great this story is! This is ~"

On my way back to the inn, I was theorized.

I could say that it seems great because I have a memory correction, but Celica seems to enjoy it, so yeah, I snorted and listened to her.

I just enjoyed hearing a clear voice like the sound of her bell.

The next day. Exam day.

It was a very sunny morning.

As soon as I had a light breakfast, I went to the Brave Men's Registry.

Passed through the upstairs hall.

in a room lined with desks for one. There were hundreds of seats on the count.

About half of them were already buried with brave candidates. All the guys that seem pretty habitual.

I'll take a seat in the back. Ultimately, there were about eighty.

Gaff came to the starting critical.

I had such lazy outfits and attitudes that I didn't think I'd take the exam now. My breath stinks of alcohol.

I'm sure it goes by even if it's written properly.

While I despised him, I waited for the start.

A while later an old man in a monk-like robe stood in front of the room.

Looks like a test supervisor.

Speak out in a squeaky voice.

"Uh, good morning to all who aspire to be brave. I'm going to let the brave man try the essential 'wit'. Geography, history, weapons, tools, magic. Demonic weakness. It's all essential knowledge to give instructions to a party, as a leader called the Brave One. The top 32 people will be selected from those with good scores in this exam. End time is until the sun leans into the western sky."

"" "Yeah?

My voice sounded deliberately.

"Isn't it until sundown!?

"Time's too short, man."

They have shorter exam times than usual.

You must have thought it would just cost extra money to hold it for a long time, because the Gaff has decided to pay a fortune to be a brave man.

The examiner said without showing any upset or anything at all.

"Brave things, we have to deal with everything. And the test results will be announced today, at sunset"

"What the hell is that!

"You're too soon!

That's when one man raised his hand.

"Until last year, another day, exam passers had decided on the order in which they could whale and choose the door to the test tower, but what happens this year?

The examiner answers as a matter of course.

"This time you will be assigned a number from 1 to 32, in order from the one with the highest score"

Indoors to be bothered again.

Can you decide on your own? You're sure I'll be number three, damn it.

But I had no choice but to decide.

Everyone was probably convinced that they were all on the same terms.

The paper is distributed and the test begins.

Only the sound of writing an answer on a piece of paper sounds in a wide room.

When I stood in the bathroom on the way, they took me blindfolded.

The exam ends in the evening.

I answered it all once. There should be no mistake.

I thought it might be a wasted effort, but I did it thinking it was a review of the knowledge of the brave.

The score was not announced and only rank was informed.

Well, there's no way I can publicly announce Gaff's score.

The examiner says as he looks at the paper in his hand.

"Written Exam Passed No. 1, Gaff"

"You're lying..." "Why is he..."

The indoors are filled with surprises and grudges.

Gaff stood up and laughed haha.

"Can't you solve this problem? You guys don't deserve to be brave."

"Ku... Huh!" "You're kidding...!

It gets worse like cloudy indoor air.

Number two is called by another guy.

I was next.

"Number three, Kaika"

Well, as expected.

Then the indoor air changed subtly.

"Hey, what's that guy..."

"Isn't Kaika the guy who got rid of Gaff?

"Are you that strong"

"Seriously. I wanted to see that."

Is it already a city rumor?

Gaff's guy, he hated you so much. I guess I've behaved tyrannically outside my father's shop.

Everyone turned their praiseworthy gaze at me and looked at Gaff with a nibbling eye.

"Shit!"

Gaff gave a grand tongue, staring at me with a grudging eye before leaving the room.

You must be the one to blame. It really irritates him.

Well, I finished as planned for now...

It was when I thought so.

A standing examiner said in a squeamish voice.

"That concludes the announcement. Congratulations to everyone who passed. Ladies and gentlemen, incidentally and again next year, do your best to defeat the Demon King. - Well, good luck."

Some get up. "Oh man," a man smiling and relieving, or a man biting his lips in remorse.

But the last thing the examiner said he wouldn't even anticipate.

"The 'Courage' exam will be held three days from today. This time, anyone who falls for the exam can't be a party member. I hope you'll join me as a brave man again next year."

"" "Yes!

I screamed with him unexpectedly.

The men clog up.

"I was going to hire these guys who fell!

"We can't party in time now!

etc.

But he was screwed over because the conditions were the same again.

I thought.

Isn't it overwhelmingly advantageous for a guff who's already partying with his men?

Really, this exam is set up for Gaff to gain.

How much money did you give me?

I mean, he left without listening to this story.

I guess I already knew. Is it just like the original meeting?

I put my arms together and thought. I get wrinkles between my brows.

I had asked my father at the tavern to arrange for a party member, but he said it would take a week.

Besides, you can't hire a guy who's fallen for a brave exam, you know.

That means that the brilliant ones who are now in the capital of the king are once again drawn.

I'm sure you'll have to offer a lot of money to hire them.

I wanted to hire bandits and monks, but maybe I can't.

- Well, what do we do?

After the noisy hall, he went back to the inn thinking.
