The plain and unnoticed me is no more

Walking through the entrance door, several light-emitting stones stuck in walls, floors, and ceilings lit up at once, illuminating the interior.

…… Sensor lights...?

I was surprised and I couldn't help but whine.

Then she heard me murmuring and laughed as if Sin walking in front was blowing small.

I'm sure you don't understand the meaning of the word, but was my reaction interesting?

I wonder how to deceive the words that came out aggressively.

But worried about me, Sin pushed deep into the temple without saying anything.

Inside the temple are white marble floors and white walls.

The walls are decorated with a number of beautiful old, high-art tapestries, all lit up with luminescent stones.

It's like a gallery with art on display.

Even though I was just moved by the fantastic landscape as if I had just gotten lost in an ancient forest, the temple has a strangely futuristic impression.

I thought it was a small building, but the building looked small compared to a giant tree, and the ceiling inside was also high and spacious than I imagined.

There is a large stone altar with a delicate sculpture on it, and a statue of the goddess is enshrined about 30 centimeters tall.

A large tapestry decorated on the side wall depicts a white lion with wings and a shining goddess, indicating that there was once a person in this country who saw the goddess.

"Oh? There's no dust in the tapestry or the altar. I wonder who's cleaning it."

I noticed that there were no spider webs and no dust buildup after decades of abandonment.

It is thought that the descendants of the priest are secretly managing this place, but when I saw what was moving at the edge of my vision, the fairies in the form of animals were cleaning the floor.

Apparently, they've cleaned up the deserted temple.

The smile spills overwhelmingly when I see myself working in good health.

Did Singh notice that, too? He looked at me and smiled.

"What a splendid altar... Here, Sin's grandmother prayed to God."

"That's right...."

I've never met her before, but Sin's grandmother and my great-grandmother were definitely here.

And a few decades later, their grandchildren and their grandchildren met by chance, and they all visited the land. I think so, it's kind of very emotional.

I wonder if we came here guided by something.

"Hey, Sin. I thought the witch princess lived in a temple, but it was different."

"No, there must be a hidden door somewhere."

That's how Sin began to look around the altar. If there's something hidden, it's the only way.

Then circle around and quickly find a suspicious place.

"There is a deep groove on the side of the altar. It's going to open when I press it."

When Singh touched the side of the altar, the door opened behind him with a bang. Inside the altar is a cavity, with stairs stretching downwards. It is also very bright thanks to the luminescent stones.

I feel the air flow downwards, whether there is a vent somewhere.

When I went down the stairs, there were about twenty tatami mat rooms, and there was an environment where people could live.

Cute off-white interiors make the interior bright and clean enough to make you forget that it's in the cave.

Probably the room the Witch Princess used.

As I was distracted by the interior decoration, Sin was checking out the other rooms, which were partitioned with curtains.

"Are you looking for something?

"Treasure Depot"

"Heh, treasure...?

"Oh, I've been thinking about why you want pendants. Don't you think there's no more secure place here without this?

"Perhaps so... is there a treasure trove in the castle? Because the entrance here was an old wooden door, right? If you break it with an axe or something, you might be able to break into it easily."

"No, the entrance door is decorative. No matter what you break, never let anyone without a pendant in."

You're absolutely clear. Did Singh hear from the living princess witch about how the temple works? No way. You're here for treasure hunting?

But in this basement, in addition to the living room, there are two main bedrooms, a costume room, a toilet and bathroom, a library, and other witch rooms.

I checked all the rooms, but there was no vault.

"Sin, the treasure trove is in the castle."

"... hey, if you're going to build a hidden room, where are you going to build it?

"The classic is the back of the bookshelf...?

"That's it!

That's what Singh said and went over to the library again.

But if you ask me, I don't know the real purpose of the people who are looking for my pendant.

In order to rebuild, we need money to hire people. Because there is no "volunteer".

Or do you believe that if you can enter the temple, you can save the country?

When you talk to the statue, the voice reaches the goddess... what a surprise.

I went back upstairs, knelt again toward the altar, crossed my hands in front of my chest, and lowered my head.

Before, the goddess stopped me from lowering my head, but I couldn't help but do so in this harsh atmosphere.

"The soul of the goddess's daughter Lyla has returned to this land. Fufu, this might also be a kind of homecoming...."

Unfortunately, I have the memory of a previous life that lived in a different world, but I don't have the first memory of being born as a daughter of a goddess.

And yet, I feel strange and nostalgic about this land.

Maybe it's because the memories carved into my soul don't disappear.

Ever since I learned that I was the daughter of the goddess, my desire for the resurrection of Artemis has grown more and more. This time I got down to the land and my feelings swelled up.

"Linatemis, I need your help to restore Artemis to its original form."

I thought of the goddess and talked to the statue, but there was no reaction.

I feel the signs of God, but as Weiss said, a whimsical God doesn't always seem to respond to human calls.

In front of nature, human beings are equally powerless. I've seen it so badly in my previous life.

I seem to have made a little mistake.

I certainly thought that if I could use the same power as the goddess, even if I was weak, I could control the water.

But the reality is not that sweet, and I tried last night to see if I could turn the water in the bucket into steam, but nothing happened.

Still, in this world where magic and fairies existed and even goddesses could meet, I felt like a miracle was about to happen.

"I can't believe I could save Artemis... I just remembered. I wanted to see Paradise with my own eyes, but there's nothing I can do."

The next moment I tried to get up, I exhaled lightly, and the ground rang and my feet swayed. I almost fell out of balance, but I managed to hold it.

"Cat... what!?

Lana!

Singh, who ran up the stairs changing his blood phase, hugged me to protect him.

"Sin! Was that an earthquake?

"There was only one shake in the earthquake. But it could be dangerous in the cave. Let's get out of here."

"Yeah, that's better."

We opened the door fearfully, watching out for the next shake.

……

"Dazzling...!

A flash like a big lightning strike ran, turning into a pure white world in front of me for a moment.

"What is the light now?

"Was that a thunderbolt?

When he came out of the temple, sheltered by Shin, the air in the cave was so calm that he wondered what the earlier shakes and flashes were. Weiss, who kept me waiting outside, didn't seem particularly impatient.

"Hey... Lana, did you do something in the temple?

"What is it?

Sin did not answer my question and looked up at the giant tree that protruded from the cave with a stunned expression.
