The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 53

Reuniting with a face I haven't seen in a while, but before I could feel any joy, a desperate voice reaches me.

"What did you say?"

I'm taken aback, doubting my ears at this unexpected turn of events.

"You have to leave this kingdom now, or you'll be in danger!"

The unexpected advice to leave this place and the warning of danger if I don't was so abrupt that I couldn't believe her words.

However, she tries to persuade me earnestly, her face full of genuine worry and concern.

"What are you talking about all of a sudden? Leave this country...?"

No matter how urgent she seemed, it was hard for me to accept what she was saying without any prior explanation.

"Why should I leave? Can't you at least explain?"

Though it seemed like a reasonable request, Miru looks troubled by my question.

"It's a bit difficult to explain..."

Her hesitancy makes me even more suspicious.

"You need a reason for what you're saying. You have to at least tell me why."

Finally, after a moment of internal struggle, she cautiously speaks up.

"I heard it from Morione..."

Morione?

A familiar name that brings a sense of surprise.

Does that mean Miru met with the goddess of destiny?

The goddess who can foresee others' fates and predict the future.

Did this goddess tell her that if I don't leave this country, I'll face dire consequences?

Another question arises: didn't she say she wouldn't casually speak of others' fates?

"I knew she wouldn't just tell anyone about their destiny. How did you manage to hear it?"

While Morione is not as well-known as Abne, she's quite renowned in the kingdom. But even so...

"She shouldn't have told you about my fate."

Even in the lore, except in rare cases, she doesn't break her principle.

Miru seems to understand this as she hesitates to reply.

I continue, "Regardless, I can't trust what you're saying right now. I have things to do."

I move past her, heading my own way.

"Wait! Just a moment!"

She tries to stop me but eventually resigns.

"Harold? I heard some unsettling news from Goddess Abne today..."

Upon arriving at the guild hall, I noticed a distinctively different atmosphere than usual. Not just in the guild, but people on the streets also had faces filled with anxiety, discomfort, and worry.

Considering what they might have heard about their impending fates from their respective deities, their reactions seemed understandable.

Erina, having possibly received news from Goddess Abne as I did, looked a bit uneasy.

"I heard it too. Looking around, it seems almost everyone did."

She nods in agreement, her face a mix of determination and worry.

"What should we do now? Should we take a break from our adventurer duties for a while?"

I was about to suggest the same.
