"Kane!"

"Nowa, you've been coming a lot lately."

Today Kane was organizing his home basement pantry.

The meat industry has become one of the biggest industries in Kuko Village, thanks to Tetra, the user demon, who has hunted the Beast Bore every time Kane goes herbal hunting ever since.

A certain percentage of dried aged meat is also transported to Kane's house, so even if Tetra eats meat like a mountain every day, it's okay now.

Even as appetizing children and Princess Anna visit and dine, they are able to adequately cover their consumption.

"Looks delicious"

Look at the meat on the beast bore that accumulates in the basement pantry, and Nowa and Jurli are all over the place.

This kid eats a lot too. Hey, Kane laughs.

"Later, I'll give Nowa a delicious steak treat."

"Wow!"

It's good to have an appetite, of course.

Kids just have to eat a lot and grow up.

"Ah, Kane. See you later..."

Nowa, suddenly softened, tries to go somewhere.

There's something wrong with this girl.

"Where do you think we're going?"

To a voice that sounds from outside the pantry, the freaking Nowa hugs Kane.

"Kane!"

"What's your voice now, Virgin?

"It's okay. I'm not trying to exorcise you. Former evil god, no... you were Kane's daughter, Nowa."

Sephilia, who talks hazy all the time, is in full Virgin mode.

Kane hugged Nowa, who was trembling.

Meet the Virgin Sephilia and calm down the trembling Nowa.

He said he had a top secret story, so Kane went into the back bedroom with Sephilia, holding Nowa, who was hugging him.

"Dear Kane. The child you named Nova was a wicked god."

"Oh, my God, that's not true"

This kid is a normal person.

I can't believe this adorable brunette girl, frightened and hugging Kane, is an evil god.

Weren't evil gods purified already in the first place?

To Kane, who said so, Sephilia answers firmly.

"We thought so, too. But Artena, the god of goodness, told me now that she wasn't."

"Is it true what Altena says?

"Yes. Until now, we have been trying to find and destroy statues of evil gods in an attempt to eradicate them. That's why Nova was scared and didn't show up where we are."

What Sephilia says, there is a tsunami.

"Nowa, is that true?

"Kane, I..."

Nowa just looks up anxiously.

Kane couldn't believe that story.

"Now listen to the rest in person from Master Altena"

Sephilia sitting on the bed closes her eyes and prays.

Then the figure turns into Artena, the god of good.

"Long time no see, Kane..."

"Artena, nice to see you again."

Sure, this happened during The Virgin's Pledge, but it looks a lot clearer then.

"Thanks to Kane's good deeds, too. Thanks to you for gathering faith in me, this is how I gained the divine power to just appear again"

Even in the village of Tochi, where the village chief was saved by the power of Artena following the village of Kuko, Artena became enshrined.

Rumors of Kane, the good man, and Altena, the good god, who also overthrew Custer and Vols' bad government, have become legendary and widespread.

There are also the recommendations of Kid, who has become a new lord, and more villages are practicing the Altena faith in Count Randall territory, he said.

It is all a result of strengthening Altena's power as a good god.

"That's right, Altena. Is it true that Nova was an evil god?

"Nowa is a purified evil god. I would have disappeared."

"Well, you did."

"We were supposed to disappear after breaking each other down, and we didn't disappear then. Because Kane tried to save me without defeating Noah."

Nowa holds Kane's hand with her little hand.

My hand, which I thought was cold before, is very warm.

Wasn't it because Kane warmed it by hand, but because he hoped so?

"Right..."

How could I have never noticed?

Wasn't Kane telling Altena that God is a man's prayer fulfilling being?

"Kane, we've been together..."

When Kane purified the evil god, Nowa also heard the words he said to the disappearing Altena, "We've always been together."

So Nowa appeared to Kane again.

"Oh well... Was Nowa the child then"

"Nowa is the son of Kane."

That's what Nova has been saying all along, and this is how you've come to me for help.

"Sorry I haven't noticed."

To Kane and Nowa leaning in, Altena says.

"Kane purified me and Nowa became a purified being once, but she's getting more angry again. It's getting stronger and harder for me to contain."

"How the hell did you do that?"

"Nowa's dependent statue is being used for evil prayer again by Demon King Dustard. I don't even know how, but it's an unusually strong curse."

Demon King Dustard.

Even if you don't know what it looks like, Kane also hears the name.

It is an evil being that unites demons and monsters around here.

How hard it is for a demon king to deal with him.

"Altena, what am I supposed to do?

"If you keep going like this, Nowa may return to the evil gods again. One way is to crusade Nowa before she returns to the evil god. Being Kane now with power as a good man, that's not going to be difficult."

To the words of that Altena, Nowa raised her bitter voice.

"No, Kane. I don't want to disappear..."

Nowa clings to Kane's arms.

There's absolutely no way Kane can do this, like defeating a girl who's following me with help.

"If that happens, I'll probably disappear with you."

Kane strongly thinks he doesn't want to lose the pleasure of seeing Altena again this way.

The figure of Altena on the fence returned to the figure of the Virgin Sephilia, who prays.

"Dear Kane. Now the sword princess Anastrea and the witch Maya are on their way to the North to defeat the demon king Dustard. If we can defeat the Demon King, we may also be able to stop the resurrection of the evil gods"

"What should the Virgin do now?

"All I have left here is to protect Master Kane. And also to let you fully exert your power as a good man. Master Kane is a good man chosen by the good god Altena. The Covenant of the Virgin has already been fulfilled. My body and my heart are with you."

"I mean, I'll decide."

"That's right. It's all in the wishes of the good man Kane."

Sephilia's figure of devout prayer once again turns into Artena.

"Kane, God fulfills a man's wishes, so it's up to you to decide what to do now."

"If it's my wish, it's decided from the beginning. I don't want Nova or Artena to disappear. For that, I'll do whatever it takes!

Just a D-rank adventurer, Kane doesn't have the power to defeat the Demon King like the Sword Princess Anastrea of Divine Speed.

Still, if you say what you want to do, your mind was determined from the beginning.

"I heard you, Kane. As a good god, I will do everything in my power to fulfill your wishes"

"Good luck to Nowa"

The wish of a brunette girl who was an evil god and.

Artena, the god of goodness, did hear the wish of one man, who held him firmly in his arms to protect the child.
