Senior's eyes widened in disbelief. He... he had cleared the trial just like that.
It really was all thanks to Lucian. Looking at the three people beside him who were still trapped in the Genjutsu, Senior felt a surge of relief.
In terms of strength alone, he could never have beaten any of those three. But when it came to the purity of his wish, no one could stop his determination to save Lucian.
For that, he was willing to give his life.
"Brave Adventurer, go claim the glory that belongs to you alone!" Kaguya said, a hint of impatience in her voice as she looked at the man who was still standing there in a daze.
She still had to go back and make dinner for Ria. Meli had gone off into the starry sky on business recently, so the burden of looking after Ria had fallen on her!
"Oh, oh! Yes, Rabbit Goddess!" Senior hurried toward the spatial passage, his excitement growing with every step.
His dream was actually within reach.
"Oh, and there's a chant you mustn't forget. Hmm... how did it go again?" With her mind full of what to make for dinner that night, Kaguya suddenly couldn't quite remember the chant.
"I need to think. Think of that chant Ria shouted so excitedly back then."
With one foot already in the spatial passage, Senior froze. Is this goddess even reliable? Can't she explain everything in one go?
"Uh! Right! I remember. I think it was... Holy Grail, light of miracles, please grant my wish! Remember, you have to shout it out, or the Holy Grail might get a little temperamental," Kaguya kindly reminded him.
Senior nodded hurriedly. "Goddess, is there anything else I need to know?"
Kaguya thought for a moment, then shook her head.
