After the little show, we move the half-destroyed nightstand to the side and get back on the bed. Everyone whispers between themselves while stealing curious glances at me. Sirgia, who is again sitting on my lap, stares at her small hand while clenching it into a fist repeatedly. I bring her out of her daze by brushing her cheek, and after she looks up at me, I leave a soft kiss there, turning it slightly rosy in response.
With a smile on my face, I pat her head and turn my attention to others. "Let's quickly fill Teffith in on my situation." I glance at the dragonewt and she nods. "In simplest words, I'm not from this world and I've been summoned as a Hero by the Goddess to help prevent The Calamity from ending this realm."
Her eyes widen a little. "The Abyssals...?"
"Yes, pretty much. Anyway, I came here with a few other people, but due to my Class being what it is, I left the team and they went their way while I decided to settle down in this mansion to create a warm place for non-humans. It was the best choice as I was really weak when compared to them. What happened after I arrived in this building, you should already know from your talks with other girls. And that's the gist of this. Do you have any questions so far? Or, do you even believe me?" I ask.
Teffith glances down and most likely goes over everything in her head before she sighs and looks back up at me. "I have no reason not to. It's quite shocking, but I don't think you'd lie about something like that, boss. A Hero, huh..."
"Yeah." I smile wryly. "The thing is, I was actually summoned here by accident and that's why I was so weak."
"Accident? How is that possible?" Cornelia raises her brows.
"Well, she told me I basically wasn't supposed to get into the summoning circle but I somehow made it through the barrier and then poof, sucked in." I shrug my shoulders.
"She?" Sirgia asks.
"Ah, right. That's actually the next part I want to talk about." I glance back at Elea behind me. "I didn't expect to fulfil my promise so soon, but yeah, I've spoken with the Goddess just before I started rolling on the ground while screaming from pain."
Her hands involuntarily move to cover her mouth which opens from shock and surprise. I immediately notice a spark of curiosity in Elea's eyes, chuckling at her expression.
"Unfortunately, if you want to ask me how she actually looks, I can't answer that question. It seems that she was the person that appeared in front of me during my awakening ritual and then during tier-ups, so I actually met her three times now, but she was always in the form of a shadowy figure, and she told me that my soul is still too weak to host more of her than just that. But, I was able to hear her voice for the first time and we held a short conversation."
"Amazing..."
"To think that Master met the Goddess... And even more than once..."
"I knew Master was something else..."
"I'm so envious..."
"Ufufu~ As expected of Master."
The elves start giggling between themselves and praising me while Elea keeps her smitten expression up as she stares at me. Finally breaking out of her daze, she moves closer and hugs my arm tightly.
"Did you at least get her true name, Master?" she asks with hopeful eyes.
I nod. "Although it is supposedly impossible to capture it properly with mortal languages, the closest translation would be Lumina."
A beautiful smile appears on Elea's face and she gives me an affectionate kiss in front of everyone.
"Thank you! I feel like I got even closer to Goddess Lumina now! The name passed in our language was similar to it, but this one is definitely more truthful!"
