The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 129

Lately, I've been feeling a sense of calm. Despite the abnormal phenomenon in the sky still being a blemish, it's a relief that life has been relatively incident-free. After enduring the tough times caused by Mir and Abne's fierce battle and being forced to stay at Elenoa's temple, I'm finally experiencing a sense of leisure for the first time in a while. The sun isn't too hot, and the wind stops just short of being cold. People infuse life into their day with their energy. Walking down the familiar yet always changing streets, I realize what true peace feels like.

"Yawn..." Despite ample sleep, a yawn escapes me, a sign of a tranquil daily life. Recently, I've been feeling something: a lack of things to do. Looking back, there have been many difficult yet memorable events. Initially, I lived a planned life based on my foreknowledge of events, but eventually, things deviated from what I knew, leading to many confusing situations. Since then, my life has been quite impulsive. Sometimes, a series of coincidences have resolved issues.

That's probably why the story, having deviated from its original course, seems to have paused in its progression. The last significant event was the Academy part, right? Those unbelievable moments still baffle me. Even after Morione took my memories, somehow my past self managed to navigate through the game's progression effectively.

If the Academy part has concluded, does that mean the story is nearing its end? The game's storyline can be divided into early, middle, and late stages: the Night of Destruction, the Revival of the Ancient God, and the Rebellion of Time. Having overcome two of these major hurdles suggests that we are gradually approaching the end.

However, my encounters with Tempus, the god of time, didn't give me a sense of hostility. She felt more like an ally, offering useful information. So, at the moment, I'm unsure of what to do next. With the story no longer progressing, what steps should I take now? Honestly, it seemed like there was nothing left for me to do. The original goal of returning to where I came from had lost its meaning, and I couldn't think of anything else I needed to do. Yura also wanted to stay here, and frankly, I wasn't even sure what I truly wanted anymore. These days, when I went out to the streets, I just wandered aimlessly.

My days passed as if I had truly become a part of this place. I met with people I knew, wondering what to do and how to spend my time. "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Miru lately..." Since that day, under the orange sky, I hadn't seen her.

When I returned to the giant tree, Miru was nowhere to be found, only this mysterious pendant in my hand, presumably hers. There was a note with it saying, 'I hope you succeed, Dad...' Did she disappear somewhere after leaving this pendant behind? Even when I asked the goddess Morione, she said she couldn't sense Miru. Could it be... she returned to her original place? If Miru is, as she claims, my daughter from the future, did she return to her own time? What would the situation be like there?

My curiosity only grew, like opening Pandora's box. Once I started thinking about it, it became increasingly bothersome. So... I decided to visit someone who might know the end of this curiosity.

Pressing the teleportation device given to me by Miru, my surroundings rapidly change, and soon, I find myself in a library filled with countless books and a woman's figure comes into my view. "You've come, child. I've been waiting for you." The goddess of time, Tempus, greets me with a relaxed smile, as if she faintly knew I would come.

"I came to ask you something," I say as I sit across from her, observing her face. Tempus seems to have something important to discuss this time; usually, she would glance at me occasionally during our conversations and then return to her books, but now, as soon as I sit down, she puts down her teacup and book.
