The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 27

The pristine white temple evokes thoughts of paradise, and the woman in the matching dress gives a meaningful smile.

The Goddess of Fate, Mori One, who claims to have the power to foresee and even influence the inevitable destinies of herself and others.

It's as if a deity, who can accurately predict someone's future, is speaking to me.

A fallen knight destined to be her loyal follower.

Such words were perfect to fill my mind with confusion and questions.

"What do you mean by that?"

My voice rises with skepticism and a hint of disbelief.

If the one saying this wasn't the goddess looking down from the high altar, I'd have scoffed and ignored it.

I honestly wish it were so.

However, if the one speaking is the Goddess of Fate, then her words might very well come true.

This being, acting as if she's known me from the beginning, warmly treats me and refers to me as a knight who will fall in the future and become her follower.

"Exactly as I said, in the future, for some reason, you will lose your status as a divine follower and become my knight."

Her confident words made my nerves stand on end. Erina and Mir, sensing something amiss, give each other uncertain glances.

"Why would you say such a thing to a stranger like me?"

I cautiously ask, but she gives a sly smile and shakes her head leisurely.

"I can't reveal that. If I did, it might change the future I've seen. And who would pass up the opportunity to gain a loyal servant in the not-so-distant future?"

Though her reasoning feels somewhat manipulative, considering it from another angle, it's hard to argue against such a practical point.

A moment of silence ensues.

Recalling the scroll of recommendation I've kept, I present it to her.

"Here is a recommendation letter from one of your honorary followers. Please give me your advice."

Though I felt like I was making a bold move, Mori One seemed to have anticipated even this.

"I already knew you'd bring that out. I foresaw you meeting the elder and obtaining that recommendation to come here."

Did she know all along...?

"Then..."

"I can't give you advice so easily, but I can answer the question the two girls wanted to ask."

"Who will Harold end up with?"

At those words, Erina and Mir, who had been looking at Mori One with skepticism, seemed slightly relieved.

"Hmm... interesting."

"What's the answer?"

It felt like they were more intrigued by Mori One's statement than concerned about me.

It seemed as if they were trying to cover something up, which left a bitter taste in my mouth.

"I'll give you a hint about what I said earlier. How's that? Not a bad deal, right?"

Is she reading my mind, or did she foresee my complaints, making this offer preemptively?

She seemed to be controlling the conversation to her advantage, making it a bit tiring to converse with her. We didn't seem to be the best match personality-wise.
