‘When will I finally arrive?’

I looked around the space made of light with a sense of unease. If I hadn’t been accustomed to the golden light, I might have arrived here completely mad, as everything in sight was bathed in nothing but gold.

I had insisted that it wasn’t necessary to meet in person, but the Goddess kept repeating that she would bring me to the Heavenly Realm, so I eventually relented. And here I was.

‘I guess it’s understandable that she’s overreacting, given that she’s opposed to the Demon God…’

Even considering that, her actions felt excessively urgent.
