Chapter 359
*SIDE Serena
"Great Lord, I pledge my lifelong loyalty to you!"
Um, what is it?
This?
I haven't done anything, right?
"Um, what do you mean?"
"Serena-sama granted me, this Aries, the divine sword! It means that you recognized me as a Hero (Yuusha)! That's what it means, right? I reported it to Pope Romani, and I successfully received the Hero recognition. So, I came to pledge my gratitude and loyalty to you, Serena-sama, for granting me the divine sword. Thanks to you, I became a follower of Carmilla-sama, obtaining immortality... and because of that, I received the splendid title of 'Immortal Hero Aries' from the church. Thank you so much, Serena-sama."
"See? Didn't I tell you? What are you going to do, Serena? I said, 'Even if it's a failure to you, it's still a divine sword, right? Isn't it distasteful to give something that surpasses the holy sword?'"
"What should I do, Arks?""Didn't I also say, 'Aren't you going to get scolded by Mel again?' I don't care!'"
This is bad.
Even though I got scolded by Mel so much... I'm going to get scolded by Mel again.
"Ahaha, well, isn't that fine?"
"Se~re~na~kun! Why do you say such things? The other day, I properly scolded you, right? Why didn't you talk to the church beforehand? 'Isn't that fine?' What does that even mean?"
"Oh! Mel..."
Why is Mel here?
I didn't notice.
"What's~that~? Does that mean you've done something wrong, Arks?"
"I have nothing to do with this! I warned Serena! But he didn't do anything. It's his fault!"
"That's what you'd normally do... but Arks is a God of War, right? You're a god, right? If it were Mammon the demon, I wouldn't complain... but if you're a god, that's not the case, right? You have some responsibility..."
"No! Serena is a half-god, half-dragon... Gods are inviolable! I can warn him, but I can't do anything more... Sorry Serena, see you later!"
"Arks, wait a second!"
"No way, I'm not at fault! And about Mel... I'm sorry for not being able to keep watch! The opponent is someone with the blood of a god from a different world. What more do you want? If we're talking about that, isn't it you, Mel, the guardian who's more at fault than I am? How about that!"
"Ugh, being told that is tough~ Alright, this time it's fine, you can go, Arks! Go ahead."
"Ah, then Serena, see you later..."
Lies...
"Ugh, Arks help me!"
"Sorry, there's nothing I can do this time! You brought this on yourself! So, Serena, see you later... well, I'll at least listen to your complaints after you get scolded, so go and get scolded!"
Ugh, am I really going to get scolded again?
"Serena-kun, let's just give up, okay?"
"Aries, you swore loyalty to me, right? Help me!"
"Yes, Serena-sama... Mel-sama, you don't have to be that angry──eek!"
"You know, Aries! You're affiliated with the church, right? Nowadays, there's almost no conflict, including with the demon race and Dragons, right? So why is a Hero necessary? The Demon Lord Lucifard and Pope Romani are having tea together! Lucifard has mellowed out and is sweet on Serena-kun, so he probably won't complain... no, he probably just ends up laughing and treating him like a grandchild. But if it weren't for this peaceful time, this could lead to war... Doesn't someone affiliated with the church understand that?"
"I'm sorry. Serena-sama, I can't help you... it's true! I was in the wrong... I'll resign from the position of Hero."
"No, never mind! It's too late now... I feel sorry for you though."
"Um...Mel-sama, what do you mean by that?"
"You see... There's no other being as ridiculous as a vampire with a holy sword... I'm glad it's the present age. In the past, the church would have treated you as a minion of the devil and would have chased you, and the demons would have chased you because you were carrying a holy sword... you're a creature with no taste in this world. There's no problem now, but if the world were to become a place where demons and humans fight, there would be no place to live anywhere in the world."
"But isn't peace here now?"
"You know, Aries, you are a high-ranking vampire... It's fine now, but in the distant future, we might have a falling out. Think carefully about what you'll do then."
"Yes."
"Um... Mel."
"Serena-kun, time can't be turned back... Not even for you! From now on, don't just go with the flow──think things through and act accordingly."
"Okay, I understand."
"Just be really careful..."
I'm still a child, even though I'm half-god, half-dragon...
I really have to study; otherwise, it won't work out.

*SIDE Mel
Ah, jeez, my stomach hurts again..... I just... don't know what to do anymore.
The birth of a strong vampire that rivals the progenitor... that's already a big deal, and on top of that, giving them a divine sword...
In the past, it could have sparked a war, and if we go to hunt it down, it would be a Hero party situation.
Creating such an existence is no small matter...
But since it was done by Serena-kun, no one says a word......
It's pointless to say anything to anyone.
Even the Goddess Son-con, Ceres, Zect, and the Pope don't complain.
I guess I don't have to say anything anymore...
But I still have to teach some common sense... as an older sister.
My stomach really hurts.
I'll take the stomach medicine that Serena-kun gave me and go to sleep... Yes, I'll go to sleep now.
