Chapter 334

(334) Prologue

Translator: Tseirp

G.o.ddess of Life, Tet .

The only G.o.ddess who maintains just one labyrinth of her own .

The reason was due to her workload .

Because she has to devote her time to keep reading the book that appears and fades away .

It was a job that has no end in sight .

Due to that reason, she rarely spends any time for the Labyrinth Clear bonus or for the management of the labyrinth .

As a result, due to a certain incident that makes it impossible to not have a labyrinth at all, she maintains just one labyrinth in the safest place .

In her world, a single visitor came to visit .

“ … Minerve, you’re here . ”

Tet said softly after detecting the presence of the visitor .

“Yes, I came to report that the task is complete . ”

Although Minerva always wanted to die, she did not mention her desire to die in front of her .

In fact, her words were extremely polite .

To Minerva, Tet could be said to be a higher existence .

Originally, among the six G.o.ddesses, while there were relations of senior and junior, there was definitely never anything such as superior and subordinate positions .

But it was present between these two .

Due to a reason only the two of them knew, Minerva would never betray Tet .

“ … Your report is late . ”

“I am sorry . ”

It was not possible to use Mind Reading between G.o.ddesses but they could still predict each other’s thoughts .

“ … Sorry, did Koshmar scold you?”

“No, Libra-chan did . ”

“ … Ah, sorry . ”

Tet apologized .

Minerva was scolded by Libra because of the task Tet requested of Minerva .

Which was to pa.s.s the Nectar she possessed to the young man called Ichinojo .

Normally, it was forbidden for G.o.ddesses to pa.s.s tools to humans outside the Labyrinth Clear bonus .

There was once Tet asked Torerul to pa.s.s Homunculus nucleus to Ichinojo as well but that time Torerul’s actions were within a loophole of the rules ─ ─ in other words, she claimed using sophism that she was only lending it to him and ran away but Minerva could not do something like that .

“But it was a necessity, right?”

“I don’t know … but that was written in the memo left behind by Metias . ”

Metias . The G.o.ddess of Future and Knowledge .

And the G.o.ddess of Fate .

The name of the missing seventh G.o.ddess ─ ─ no, the first G.o.ddess .

The tasks which she left behind, a.s.signed to the G.o.ddesses in order to protect the world .

One of those tasks was to deliver Nectar to Ichinojo .

“Erm, Tet-sama . Won’t we accomplish the tasks quicker if we receive everyone’s cooperation?”

“ … No … until we find out the reason for Metias’ disappearance, we must not rely on others . ”

Tet said . Even if the other party were to be G.o.ddesses ─ ─ no, precisely because Mind Reading doesn’t work on them, it is not possible to trust the other G.o.ddesses .

“ … I will do my best even if I have to do it alone . ”

“Erm, Tet-sama . What about me?”

“ … I will do my best even if I have to do it alone . ”

Tet emphasized as though to renew her resolve before quietly returning to her book .

In order for the day that must come to never come .
