Villainess Is Changing Her Role to a Brocon - Chapter 281

“I… I am honored to hear such words from such a beautiful Goddess as yourself.”

“Am I beautiful?”

The Goddess proudly puffed out her childish chest, and brightly colored lilies bloomed on the crown of flowers that adorned her hair.

The flowers on the crown were not plucked and woven, but rather, they seemed to be live flowers.

“I will not say that I will take you as my partner as well, so you can rest assured. Human beings are only supposed to be married to one person. I am also mindful of human customs.”

I couldn’t keep up with the tsukkomi.

“But you did not know that Isaac had a partner, right? I had informed your predecessor, and he has accepted it.”

Grandfather!

What happened back then!

Oh…I just realized. My great-uncle was a bachelor, but my grandfather, with his celebrity matchmaker’s taste, would have found a good wife for his cute little brother.

So, the only reason why he stayed a bachelor was not because he didn’t want to marry but was it because of an agreement with this Goddess with Grandfather’s help…?

I thought my Great-Uncle was joking, though.

Anyway, it should not suppose to be a [Partner]! At the very least, it should have only been a, [son-in-law]!

I wanted to correct it, but was it safe to do so?

How would I even correct it in the first place? Did he even realize that he had become a God’s partner?

As Ekaterina was about to answer, the Old Mining God chuckled.

“It can’t be helped if you don’t know. What matters is that we’ve taught you.”

“If the Old God says so, I will say no more.”

Fortunately or unfortunately, the opportunity to correct it drifted away. Goodbye, my chance.

Ekaterina, having regained her composure, returned to the worship ceremony. The end was near.

Then, a heavy bass voice called out to her.

“I have something to tell you.”

The Flame Wolf God said bluntly.

“My mountain will erupt soon. Be prepared.”

…

(Ueeeeeehhhh〜〜〜〜!)

This was something like a serious statement right before the end of the meeting.

It was like the pattern I had experienced so many times in my previous life as a corporate employee, when I was just finishing up the day’s work and an urgent call came in about an urgent problem.

Ekaterina swallowed her inner cry and bowed politely to the wolf god.

“Thank you for informing us of such a serious problem. I am sure many of our people will be saved thanks to you.”

“I don’t care what happens to the humans.”

The Flame Wolf God turned away.

This God’s tsundere meter is skyrocketing.

In my previous life, I might have been sentenced to extended overtime work as a corporate employee, but it seemed that Gods didn’t have any overtime work. After that, nothing happened and the worship ceremony came to an end.

After the three gods returned to the statue as light again, the humans immediately put their foreheads together and held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as the gods left, a young priest dashed out of the inner shrine and came back with a map and the record of past oracles. Super good job.

The priests were excited to hear that an oracle had been brought by a Mountain God to warn of an eruption in the past.

It’s here! They are like, “Oh, no!” It seemed to be one of the roles of the mountain temple to receive and deal with such oracles.

“Although you mentioned that it will erupt soon, in the past, it has not happened today or tomorrow. There have been cases of eruptions that occurred nearly a hundred years after the oracle was first announced, so please rest assured.”

Ekaterina felt a little weak when she was told this.

“To the mountain gods, a hundred years is just a moment. However, there have been cases of eruptions in a few months, so there is no need to rush.”
