The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me

Note: sorry for any typos or mistake hehe

Back in time in Mir’s POV, after Harold was forcibly teleported by Eleanor…

“……”

Mir, who is left alone as if abandoned alone in an unknown forest, looks at the place where Harold was, expressionlessly.

In the end, the ritual that had failed, she could not even convert Harold into her own black knight, and even get taken away from her.

Dragons, by nature, are creatures driven by a strong desire for dominion. They never tolerate any interference with their plans, and if they are denied what they seek, their rage can be so intense that they can easily obliterate one or two villages.

However, Mir, looks unexpectedly calm…. After her plan has failed. But-

….

Standing still, her body trembles uncontrollably with anger, her teeth grinding together with a grinding sound. Veins bulge on her forehead . The intensity of her emotions causes her to vibrate with rage, creating an atmosphere of seething anger and agitation.

Then, she erupted into a furious shout.

“AAAAAAAAA!!!!”

In the end, she loses control of her emotions, and her overwhelming anger and hatred radiate intensely. Her roar shakes the heavens and earth, causing rocks to shatter and trees to topple.

The scene resembles the terms called Pungbibaksan

[“Pungbibaksan” is a term commonly used in Korean to refer to a person who is stubborn, inflexible, or unyielding. It is often used to describe someone who refuses to change their stance or opinion, even in the face of compelling evidence or logical arguments.]

“…haah…haah…”

Mir, who finally manages to calm down after releasing all her pent-up emotions, lets out a piercing scream. Her face contorts into a grim expression.

Mir, her voice trembling with frustration, utters,

“Why… why is it always like this? Why can not things just go smoothly…?”

Then she looks up at the sky resentfully and continues her monologue with a sad voice.

“How much… how much more must I suffer…? Aren’t a few thousand years enough?!”

Then moisture gathers around her eyes, and cold tears trickled down her cheeks..

Dragon’s tears were highly sought-after materials, fetching exorbitant prices in the trade market. They were considered the key ingredient in the creation of rare medicines, and even a small amount could elevate an alchemist’s concoction to a level of luxury equivalent to the value of a house.

The quality of dragon’s tears varied based on the strength of the dragon from which they were obtained. The stronger the dragon, the higher the quality of its tears.

Despite the astronomical prices, there were always people willing to pay a premium for these precious tears.

As such, because dragons are not easy to shed tears so it became difficult to obtain them, and because of that, dragon tears are considered as super rare and high class material.

But now, these precious materials were flowing, emanating a distinctive glow.

“I have had enough of this…! I do not want to hurt anymore…!!”

She continued to cry, wiping away the endless tears with her hands.

“Do I not deserve happiness anymore since I embraced the darkness?! But I had no choice…! It was for survival… for my parents…!!”

She kept shedding tears of sorrow as she revisited the memories of the past.

“But it is over now… I am all alone… everyone has left me…”

She cries out to the dry sky, uttering a monologue that goes unheard, not knowing to whom she speaks.

“I have had enough now… I have been suffering for long enough…!! This time, I will not let it slip away…!!”

In Harold’s presence, Mir feels a resurgence of happiness and emotions that she thought were long lost. She cherishes these moments and finds solace in the joy they bring.

“I want to be happy now too…!!”

So now, she won’t let it away again.

◆◆◆

The subjugation quest for Mir, The Devourer of Darkness, has ended.

All those who participated in the quest gave vague comments about what happened, so the world didn’t know whether she was alive or dead, and only a few people knew the truth.

The reward for the quest was substantial, satisfying most participants despite some minor dissatisfaction. However, no one complained since the reward was generous enough to allow them to take a few days off from work.

I didn’t participate in the quest for the sake of the reward, so I only took a small portion of the quest’s reward.

I was concerned about potential future issues, but after careful consideration, I couldn’t find a definitive answer. Therefore, I chose to keep those worries buried in my heart for the time being.

“Hmm…”

For the time being, a major problem had been resolved, which left me with plenty of free time until the next significant event in the story.

Nowadays, I found myself aimlessly wandering the streets, lost in thought or simply going wherever my feet would take me.

Leisure time for me was mostly spent on reading and watching plays, which seemed to be the sophisticated hobbies of the original world. Compared to my usual time wasted on games or online videos, it felt somewhat mundane and unexciting.

But this time, I had something to do..

It’s about the feminine yet burning smell of another woman that Eleanor said.

Apart from Mir, Eleanor mentioned that there is another scent on me that is becoming stronger, and I’m extremely curious about it now.

Usually, I would have disregarded it, but considering the free time I had, I made up my mind to investigate the source of the scent, since I got nothing else to do.

Like an undercover police officer, I positioned myself in a corner of the guild hall, discreetly observing the people who walked by

Eleanor mentioned that the scent was that of a woman, but I couldn’t recall having any close female friends or acquaintances.

“……”

As time passed, I couldn’t detect anything unusual, and the only noticeable change was the growing collection of empty glasses and plates of the drinks and foods I’m ordering on the table

Just as I was about to end my lunch with a cool strawberry shake…

“Isn’t that Harold? Why are you sitting alone like with that uncool expression?”

An acquaintance that I’m quite close with approached me, wearing his usual contagious smile.

“Why are you stuck in this dusty corner? I almost didn’t see you at all!”

He smiles warmly as he shrugs his shoulders, and I quite like this guy because he was an NPC that’s friendly with everyone with a good rating among the players.

“Haha… I’m just here to kill time, because I don’t have anything to do…”

If I said I was stuck in a corner and trying to search for a woman, I would be branded as a strange person…. So I laughed awkwardly and made excuses with the words I came up with on the spot.

“Really? Then you’re free now right, Harold?!”

After hearing the answer, Paulo ask me that.

“Yeah… well, I’m free.”

When I responded to him, I noticed Paulo’s expression brightening as if he saw this as an opportunity.

“Ooh! Well then! How about you visit our shrine?!”

He asks me with bright expression.

“Is it really okay? I’m already affiliated with a shrine, so visiting another goddess’s place might not be appropriate…”

When I asked him that, Paulo nod his head with understanding expression..

“It’s okay! Our shrine is hosting an event, and the Goddess said that we can bring people we know along!”

Ah… Are they going to hold a shrine event?

Even in the game, there are occasional events where you can form temporary oaths with other goddesses for a certain period of time, even if you’re not a believer. And you can still get rewards at this point, where the offerings that you need to give is reduced by half, so it’s a good thing.

And I just noticed that Paulo was completely unarmed, not wearing any armor and carrying no weapons.

When an shrine event was held in the game, you could see Paulo in plain clothes like this.

“How about it Harold? If you don’t have anything to do then feel free to drop by!”

I have something to do now but.., well it’s not really important, and I have some free time too, so-…

“Allright, I’ll go.”

Each of the items provided by Goddess Abne offered great cost-effectiveness, allowing players to achieve maximum efficiency even with a small investment of resources.

Of course, in terms of pure firepower, the rewards that Eleanor gave me is more overwhelming…

But In other words, it implies that controlling the power that Eleanor give becomes challenging, as it can only be utilized at either full strength or not at all.

This vulnerability makes it difficult to sustain prolonged battles, as it tends to expend more magical energy than necessary on the opponent.

In the upcoming dungeon exploration segments of the story, the cost-effective items and spells provided by Goddess Abne will play a vital role.

These resources will prove essential in navigating the dungeons efficiently and overcoming the challenges that lies within.

And what worries me the most is…

‘If you’re not careful in the future, I’ll have to punish you more severely..’

As Eleanor’s lines flash through my mind, for a moment, my body trembles.

“? What’s wrong Harold?”

Seeing my sudden action, Paulo asked me.

“Ah… haha…! It’s nothing! Let’s go!”

I’m not breaking my oath or anything…so it’ll probably be fine…

I’m trying to console myself like that and began following Paulo…

huh…?

In a brief moment, I noticed a chilling smile on Paulo face.

What?

For a brief moment, I doubted my eyes and paused, unsure if what I saw was real.

…

“What are you dozing off for Harold?! Let’s go quickly!”

And then Paulo grabbed my arms, and dragged me towards the shrine…

(Paulo smile probably looks like that lol)
