Chapter 291

The time axis between the underworld and this world is different, so not much time has passed in this world. Yes, this should cover it up nicely.

"Well then, see you later, Uncle Edgar. Keep this a secret, okay?"

"Yes, God, Serena-sama!"

God? Referring to me?

"I'm not a god."

"Why do you say that? You can freely come and go to the underworld, converse with the legendary underworld dragon, Bauer-sama, and not to mention, you can even summon the deceased Zect-sama. You're not a mere Hero anymore; you're more than that. You're 'God'!"

This is troublesome...

"Then if I were a god, what would you do, Uncle Edgar?"

"I owe you something amazing! You saved the hearts of my two fellow members of the Hero Clan. You also healed me... I owe you a lifelong loyalty..."

"I don't need that." This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

"Serena-sama?"

The Hero Clan, they're kind of like Zect-oniichan, and it's bothering me. It's making me a little soft.

"I am... I am... if Serena-sama is happy, that's what matters most... My Lord, Serena-sama."

My Lord?

"My Lord?"

"It's a term of respect, my lord! If it's impossible to treat you as a god, I will refer to you as 'my lord' instead! Being friends is clearly not possible, so let's pledge lifelong loyalty as 'my lord'... Now, your fiancee is waiting, I shall take my leave! Until tomorrow."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Haa...

I wonder if he'll become my friend.

I thought so, but... this is a failure.

By the way, I have a new project about a returning hero who is forced to combat once again. It features good character growth and decent battle writing. Here's the link => [Link]
