The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 54

"Brother! Please listen to me now!"

While I was buying potions at the general store, she somehow located me again and repeated what she had said in the forest earlier.

"Miru? How did you find me again?"

I let out a sigh, showing a bit of annoyance towards her, but her message seemed consistent.

"We have to leave this country now! If not, it's really dangerous!"

It looked like she had run all the way here as she panted heavily.

"Please, just trust me this once...! You're in danger!"

She cried out so loudly that, despite being in a public place, she drew attention from others around. For some reason, I felt embarrassed rather than her. I had to calm Miru down before the stares from the crowd became too much.

"Calm down. There are people watching. Let's finish our business here and then discuss this outside."

I wasn't outright rejecting her plea like before, and was trying to pacify her, but...

"There's no time. If you don't follow me now, it might be pulled even closer—"

She seemed to blurt out something hastily but then abruptly stopped, covering her mouth in surprise. With all the chaos, I didn't catch her last words entirely. It seemed like she was talking about running out of time...

"Erina... Can you try to persuade Miru?"

Feeling drained from her relentless attitude, I reluctantly asked Erina for help.

"Just a moment, Harold... I think we should listen to what she has to say."

Oddly, Erina sided with Miru, complicating matters further. I looked at her, puzzled, wondering what had swayed her opinion.

"Erina?"

"Let's hear her out. Something feels off."

With even Erina suggesting this, I felt that delaying any further would draw attention not only from those inside the store but also those outside.

"Sigh... Alright. Let me just pay for these items, then we can find a place to talk. There are too many eyes on us right now."

Hearing my affirmative response, Miru briefly smiled in relief but soon hurriedly scanned our surroundings.

"Sorry, brother..."

She lowered her head, seemingly regretful, thinking she had caused me trouble.

"But I truly have urgent matters to discuss...!"

Her earnestness, combined with some questionable statements, only added to my confusion. Living creatures, when truly desperate, often focus on the matter at hand and ignore their surroundings. Miru appeared to be obsessively fixated on getting me to leave the country.

Having paid for the items in haste, I took Miru outside. Recognizing that we were out of the public's view, I quickened my pace and entered a relatively quiet alleyway.

"So, why are you so insistent on me leaving the kingdom?"

In the dimly lit alley, I stared at her, waiting for her to explain her urgency. When she first brought up the topic, she mentioned Morione, which gave her some credibility, but her argument lacked conviction.

"Did you truly hear something from Morione? She rarely speaks of others' fates."

The reason for my skepticism was that the Morione I knew seemed different from her portrayal. While always a bit eccentric, she was steadfast in her beliefs, making it improbable that Miru could casually hear about my fate from her.
