"Harold and I are already in a love approved by our families. Please, bless our future together!"

Erina's proclamation, delivered with a bright and cheery voice, briefly shattered the tranquility that enveloped the vast temple. Currently, Erina is elated, and even her way of speaking is so uplifted and friendly, but she might harbor a dubious meaning within. It didn't seem like she was genuinely smiling due to happiness; instead, it seemed more like a sarcastic smile, intended to mock and provoke others. Despite the other person showing such an unpleasant face, confidently speaking in this way would undoubtedly appear confrontational to anyone who saw.

"What...?"

Upon hearing these words, Eleona frowned deeply, and the atmosphere seemingly darkened, as if a shadow had crept across her eyes. Despite the hot summer weather, the surrounding air grew heavy and silent, like a silent snowstorm engulfing the area. The atmosphere was not good. If Erina didn't somehow stop Eleona, it seemed like a drastic change would happen in the world. It might be an exaggerated statement, but at that moment, the aura emanating from Eleona was one of chilling hatred.

"Goddess?! I will explain everything, so please hear me out—"

Contrary to the outward appearance of being on the verge of shouting in utmost anger, the response came in a calm voice.

"Hmm... So, you are that adventurer Erina, I've heard quite a bit about you from Harold."

The heavy atmosphere vanished in an instant; although there was something somewhat pretentious about it, she was somehow smiling.

"Goddess?"

"Yes, yes... You want me to bless your relationship with Harold?"

Erina was dumbfounded by the unexpected response. Seeing Eleona like this, Erina showed a momentary sign of panic but quickly concealed it.

"Harold is my knight, and in a church without a single follower, he is my only follower and..."

Walking leisurely in a circle around us, leisurely stepping...

"Our order absolutely forbids romance."

———!!

At that moment, a blinding light and a gradually swelling, ominous rumble. A loud and violent sound seemed to be on the verge of erupting, but in a split second, all sound was blocked, and nothing could be heard, with a pure white view merging, feeling like being in a space of nothingness.

"Wha?!!"

However, such appreciation was short-lived. Once reality returned and senses regained, the last scene in memory was not what appeared before the eyes. The sight before them was unbelievable. The once-aged temple was in a moment transformed into a desolate plain. A cliff, so deep its bottom was unfathomable, had formed, and it was utterly unimaginable what had happened.

"Hmm, you're not as sluggish in action as you appear."

And then, turning to the carefree voice that sounded in one ear, Eleona was standing there, brushing ash off her hand and admiringly expressing.

"That was dangerous, wasn't it? If I hadn't grabbed Harold and dodged, he would have been obliterated too. Isn't that a bit too reckless for someone you deemed your only follower?"

"It's fine. My power will not harm Harold in any way. Did you think I hadn't thought of that?"

Only then, with a start, did I faintly realize what had happened. My heart rate began to skyrocket, and imagining what would have happened if Erina hadn't dodged, sending shivers down my spine and causing my body to shudder.
