The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 16

After talking with Abne, I arrived at a field not far from the royal capital to carry out the quest with Erina.

I decided to deal with a horde of werewolves that were attacking me, and to observe her abilities, I decided to take a step away and watch her.

?! ?! ?!

Shiing!

"Keung-!"

"Grkk!"

I only watched her for a few moments, but if I'm going to judge by looking at her so far, honestly, she's quite good.

Every time she swings her sword once, the Werewolves fall out one after another, turning into magic stones and pledge orbs.

Assuming that a raw beginner without any proper equipment entered the game and created a character, it was usually possible to defeat each Werewolf by hitting at least 4 to 5 times.

So, since this is her first time, she's really skilled.

"Oh! Maybe it's because I'm filled with excitement, knowing that this is the start of my adventure. I feel really energized!"

Erina, having finished slaying the werewolves and gathering the loot, turned to me and spoke these words.

"I'm glad, if I go on like this, I don't think there will be any problems."

The reason why Erina is doing quite good is probably because of her special abilities that Goddess Abne said.

Depending on her beliefs and will, Erina possessed the extraordinary ability to tap into countless powers.

In essence, her control over her mind and mental state determined the extent of this power, which could range from near-infinite strength to potential self-weakening.

For the time being, it appeared to manifest in a positive manner.

Erina's ability appeared to grant her stronger powers, possibly due to her recent initiation into adventuring and her connection with the goddess she admired, the result from her positive mental state.

However, I couldn't let my guard down just yet.

As Goddess Abne had said, Erina was prone to emotional vulnerability, and the risk of her mental state deteriorating is very high.

....If I didn't provide her with psychological support or help her achieve inner growth, there was a possibility that her own abilities could become a double-edged sword, leading to her own downfall.

It was like dealing with a ticking time bomb, where her powers had the potential to harm her if not properly managed..

So what I can do is to encourage Erina as much as possible and help her grow both mentally and physically.

"This is the last one! Now, let's go back to the guild hall, Harold-san!"

At the same time, as we are about to leave-

"Grrr..."

Drool-

An entity that was significantly larger than the Werewolf Erina had faced before was drooling, showing its teeth at us.

A special monster..?

It appeared to be significantly larger in size, indicating a stronger entity than a regular creature. It would be unreasonable for Erina to confront it alone at this point.

"An enemy! But don't worry, this time, I'll...!"

"Wait Erina!"

By the time I tried to stop her, it was already too late.
