“In the first place, we don’t need a god of war for such a peaceful village like this. If you want more believers, why not go to a battlefield? We don’t need a god who reeks of blood in this place. Oh? You hadn’t even thought that far ahead… Are you that stupid?”

“Uggghhh…”

Darten’s face fell.

His shoulders slumped and tears fell from his eyes as he started to talk to himself.

 

“This was my first time… I was finally called. I thought I was finally going to be able to do something. And so I didn’t think about that when descending! It’s not my fault!! I’m not a rank two god because I want to be! We rarely get called because we’re so strong. And all the towns that are fit for a rank two god are already taken! It’s just not fair! All I ever wanted was to come down here and protect the humans so they would thank me and give me some attention! I was going to enjoy being served by the priestesses and have sweet affairs! What’s wrong with any of that! I am a god!!!”

Darten said as he ground his teeth. Qudels smiled and put his large hand on top of Darten’s head.

 

“It isn’t wrong. I too want such attention. And I do love pretty ladies. I want to boast about my achievements with a beautiful woman by my side. However, it seems that if you want that to happen, you have to consider the place and the person as well. Or they will just hate you. Apparently, such people are gossiped about in the most terrible way.”

“That…I wouldn’t like that. I…I want people to love me from the heart.”

Darten muttered after hearing Qudels’s sermon.

And then Qudels nodded.

 

“I as well. I want some to experience this thing called love with.”

“What? You sound like some little girl. You’re so lame!”

Qudels was talking very seriously, but Darten started to laugh.

 

“Don’t laugh. This is a very serious matter.”

But Qudels was grinning too. And then he opened his mouth as if suddenly remembering something.

 

“In any case, once this matter is settled, we can go someplace else. This frontier village does not offer much entertainment, to begin with. Being a guardian god here would only make you unhappy.”

Darten nodded in agreement.

 

“First…we can save up some money, and then go to the entertainment districts of a big country. There will be lots of pretty ladies there for us to enjoy. And from there, we can slowly search for a city that suits you. After all, we have plenty of time to live.”

“Oh! That sounds like fun! Let’s do that, old man.’

Their eyes shone like two excited boys. The young rank two god of war and the middle-aged monster shook hands.

 

Just then, the beanstalk that had risen to the heavens was surrounded in pink light as it began to descend.

Qudels turned around to face the group members and villagers. And in a voice that shook them out of their stupor, he shouted.

 

“Now, here comes a goddess that is worthy of this village. Let us all celebrate!”
