While tracking the archangels, Queen Noel and I jumped into the grounds of the Undersea Temple.
"It hurts...!"
Water magic is used to mitigate the impact of collisions with the ground.
But I couldn't prevent everything.
I stood up and looked at Queen Noel, who was hugging me.
Queen Noel, who was in her arms, had fainted.
Breathing sounds are normal and there are no injuries.
Queen Noel is worried too, but first we need to do something about the Archangel who's after us.
"...... Huh?"
I turned around in a hurry, but the archangels who had been chasing us like ruthless assassins had disappeared.
No, not just that.
Are the angels gone?
The angels are disappearing to fill the sky.
Instead, something is falling into the sea.
Is that Leviathan's scales?
All that's left is the water spirits (Undine) I called.
"My king! Congratulations!"
In front of me in a daze, a watery spirit (Dia) came.
The body wasn't bleeding, but it was worn out.
"Deer, are you okay? And what the hell is this..."
"It was reached!" My king has completed the trial of the Holy God Clan! I thank my sisters and send them to their original planet. ”
"Deer is badly injured, isn't she?" You'd better rest. "
"Fufu... I'm a spirit. This kind of thing will heal soon. before that, I went to the goddess...."
She smiled mildly and lost sight of Dear.
I'm busy, but I'm glad Deer's okay.
The Great Spirits of the Water who helped us return to our planet.
My head is still fluffy and unrealistic.
"Also, I'm worried..."
(Well done, Takatsuki Makoto!)
(King of Ancient Dragons (Ashtarot)? Are you safe!?)
The demon king who talked to me was the one who became the demon king.
(You were saved by the Spirit of the Time...... but you lost half your body due to the attack of the Divine Beast. I don't think I'll be able to move for a while. Now I am healing my body on a suitable island)
(Hah, half body!? It's not okay at all!)
I mean, normally, you're gonna die.
(Thanks to the Divine Armor. Naturally, the dying body was resurrected. Kukuku, that's a wonderful artifact. Thank you for sending me something like this, Takatsuki Makoto)
(...... I'm just lending it to you?)
(............ Now, I'm tired. Sleep a little?)
(Whoa, whoa!)
I was cut off just in case.
He's not going to give it back.
But Ashtarot was also lucky to be safe.
The artifact of Cain seemed to be useful.
Tahaa, breathe out loud.
And somehow I looked up at the sky.
............ zzzzzzzzzz
And, there was a figure of the god-beast Leviathan who pressed (...) the moon (...) hard.
Speaking of which, you were falling... Mr. Moon.
The Moon Goddess's miracle (mischief) should be over, so it's time to return to normal satellite orbit.
I don't know, I need you to come back.
And the moon, which was greater than his head, and the beast of God, which was pressing, were a little loving.
(Hang in there, Leviathan)
Read my mind like that.
- Giroli.
and was strangled.
Yikes!
Inadvertently turns a blind eye.
Beyond them was a golden undersea temple.
"So......"
The first word was such a word.
Is the seafloor shrine the size of a Tokyo dome? I thought it was different, but it was completely different.
The height is as high as a skyscraper, and the width is too long to see the edge.
It was a structure of a scale that could not have been man-made.
"...... nh"
At that time, Queen Noelle, who had fainted, woke up.
Noel-san, are you okay?
"What... is this place?"
It seems that she is still unconscious, but her complexion is not pale.
There seems to be no injury.
I heard about the goddess of the moon, but she hadn't arrived yet.
The long descent seems to be an abandoned course, so it seems that you took care of it properly.
I'm glad I can't face Sakurai-kun.
"...... amazing"
Queen Noel is overwhelmed by the majesty of the undersea shrine.
I mean, it's kind of like me, too.
Noel-san, let's go.
Yes, yes.
You can't just stand here forever.
I came here to ask Lord Noah for help in saving the world.
I'll take the lead, and a little later, I'll grab my clothes, and Queen Noel will follow me.
Slowly we headed towards the undersea shrine.
◇
"It's hard to get there..."
"That's right..."
Me and Queen Noelle have been walking for almost an hour.
The seafloor shrine is visible in front of you, but the site alone is bigger than the kingdom of the sun (Highlands).
Moreover, it is not a wide square with nothing, but a beautiful garden that is well maintained.
One of the final labyrinths (Last Dungeon), the Submarine Shrine.
However, there was only one monster in the labyrinth (dungeon).
In the peaceful garden, Princess Noel and I quietly proceed.
The Phoenix of Water Magic could fly away, but the final labyrinth of mankind was not reached.
I proceeded with caution because I didn't know what was coming in.
But in the end, nothing happened, it was just a walk.
When I finally got close to the building, it was hesitant.
"...... you've finally arrived, Mr. Noel"
"... let's go in, Makoto-san"
The undersea shrine is shaped like an ancient Greek building, with thick pillars surrounding it.
It's dark in the back, and I can't see through the entrance.
Inside the temple, an altarpiece of flames illuminates the path that leads to the back.
― ― Spotting Skill
All of a sudden, we continue to proceed with caution so that we can deal with enemies as they appear.
But it was a painstaking takeover.
Inside the dark temple, there was no sign of any creatures.
It's a quiet place, isn't it?
That's right.
Footsteps of conversation and tricks between me and Queen Noel sounded creepy inside the temple.
Is Lord Noah really here?
When I was beginning to feel a little uneasy.
Huh?
Suddenly, the view in front of me changed.
Blue (·) yellow (·) sky (·).
A fresh green plain that stretches all the way.
The brightly colored plains are dotted with sparkling springs and bright red fruit trees.
It was a fantasy landscape.
And there were many creatures in the plain.
"Makoto-san! What the hell is this..."
"Mr. Noel is behind me!" Be careful! "
What happened!?
We were walking in the dimly lit temple until just now.
Why did you suddenly go outside?
Makoto-san! Look at that!
"Dragon!?"
Not far from here, the two dragons were leaning together and sleeping.
Also nearby were monsters such as goblins and orcs.
but there is something wrong with the condition.
(Haven't you noticed?)
The monsters weren't fighting with each other, and they didn't seem to care about us.
I could see a lot of other creatures and monsters lounging around.
"Have you not noticed us?"
"That's impossible..."
There is nothing like a shield.
It seemed like a normal monster would have attacked us long ago.
At that time, the rustle and the sound of big wings fluttering.
There were two big griffins standing right next to us.
!?
I didn't react to the spotting ability at all.
I hurriedly set up the goddess's dagger and concentrated on using magic at all times.
However, the two griffins seemed to be friendly.
There's a bait in front of you, but it doesn't seem to be in your eyes at all.
"Slowly... let's get away"
Yes, Makoto-san.
Me and Queen Noel slowly distanced herself so as not to stimulate the griffin.
I was able to get away from the monsters and take a breath.
What the hell is going on here?
You must have been inside the undersea shrine.
Me and Queen Noel are talking in a confused voice.
This is the submarine temple.
Suddenly, a voice is heard from behind.
Looking back, there was a silver-haired brown beauty floating fluffily.
Moon Goddess (Nyal)?
"Goddess!?"
In my words, Queen Noelle kneels in a hurry.
I got down on my knees a little later.
"Thank you for your help." I was able to reach the undersea shrine safely. "
"Fufufu... I saw something good." I can't believe we're really breaking through the trials of the Divine Beast Leviathan. ”
The Moon Goddess seemed in a good mood.
"Um... why is Lord Nia descending in the form of a goddess?"
Noel-chan, let's answer the question.
The goddess of the moon spun around in the air.
"We gods are forbidden to descend directly onto the earth." But this place is like a different world between the earth and the heavens. That's why you can come like this. "
I see, that's why the Goddess of the Moon is still in her dreams.
At that time, I soon noticed it.
"Noel-san, are you okay?" Even if you look directly at the goddess. "
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine," said Queen Noel.
Is it good to talk about how when I see God directly, my mind goes crazy?
"Noelle had brought me down a while ago." You must have been very resistant to my divinity. "
"I see... I'm glad."
I could talk to the goddess of the moon with confidence.
Goddess of the Moon. You mentioned earlier that this is a seabed temple, right? "
"That's right, this is the undersea shrine." Congratulations, Knight! You've become the first manipulator on the planet Noah ever! I'm so proud of you! "
Wah!/Wah!/Wah!/Wah!
Along with the voice of the goddess of the moon, I heard a lot of cheers and applause from nowhere.
... it looks like you went out of your way to create it with magic.
Ah, thank you.
Thank you twice.
"Are these monsters not going to attack us?" I don't even see it in the first place. "
Queen Noel's question was the same as mine.
This was the final labyrinth.
Of course, I thought there were monsters I'd never seen before, but there were monsters everywhere.
In the first place, there were many creatures that were not even monsters, such as horses and sheep.
And for some reason, all creatures acted in sets of two.
"It's easy to explain why there are two of us." All the creatures here are 'hens and males'. The point is number one. "
"Are you referring to... a couple?"
I see, every creature looks friendly.
That's why you came to see Noah, right?
Yes, yes.
The Moon Goddess was right.
I stepped inside the final labyrinth, and the tension was filled.
But if there's no danger, we should hurry.
"Let me show you, but I can see it from here." Look at that building over there. "
The direction pointed by the goddess of the moon.
― ― "Senriku" skill
There, the buildings were seen in the potholes and meadows.
The shape looks the same as the undersea shrine on Leviathan's back.
Which means there's a small temple in the temple.
* giggle *... my chest roared.
I understood with my senses, not reason.
(There's a goddess (Noah) in that building.)
I can't help but feel like I'm about to rush out.
There was also Queen Noelle and the Moon Goddess.
It was far from here to the temple.
Apparently, the monsters here don't recognize us as enemies.
Then it would be okay to stand out a little.
Water Magic Phoenix… Noel-san, please get in.
The water magic formed the vehicle, and I pulled Queen Noel's hand.
Then, the eyes of the moon goddess, who was floating fluffily, met.
I can see it's flying, but should I let you ride water magic with me?
When I was worried... the goddess of the moon and Pong sat right next to me.
There! Departure progression-
I'll fly slowly.
The goddess and the queen were on board.
Driving safely brought me up slowly.
"This is..."
"It's so spacious... and so many creatures"
Looking down from the sky, he realized the size of the undersea shrine.
I can't see the end of the meadow.
And there are so many creatures out there.
"It's like there are all the creatures in the world..."
"There are all the creatures in the world."
It was the goddess of the moon who told me that.
In addition to those words, Queen Noelle and I look at each other.
“For what?”
"Well, that's a seed preservation."
The Moon Goddess answered my questions quickly.
"Preservation of seeds...?"
Queen Noel's neck is bent, as if she hadn't arrived.
I've spoken to you about the world before.
It's true that you're talking about activities to protect potentially extinct creatures… right?
While mouthing, I bent my neck at the difference from the sight under my eyes.
There are familiar monsters and creatures in the meadow.
Cows and pigs, goblins and orcs are very unlikely to be extinct.
"That's not true." The frail creatures on the ground quickly die from (...), (...) and (...). In case that happens, I'm protecting the garden here. "
The moon goddess had a mysteriously persuasive tone.
It's as if it's 'commonplace'.
"Even Nevia's curse." She wants to rid the world of all earthly creatures in order to make peace. You don't seem to understand the danger. "
“Is it dangerous to be at peace?”
Queen Noel asked a question.
"Losing the fight means losing the competition." Creatures that no longer compete for survival are fragile. It's a trivial trigger that kills you. "
"...... haa"
Queen Noel doesn't seem to have a clue, but I've heard that competition for survival encourages the evolution of life.
In a world cursed by a witch of catastrophe, evolution would stop without anyone competing.
... there's something we're not talking about.
"After all, what is this place?" In the final labyrinth is the vault of the creature? "
I'm not sure about that.
It's so peaceful that I don't think it's in the labyrinth.
"It was originally a place that was created to seal the goddess Noah. However, the spirit and spirit that leaked out after sealing Noah for so many years made" world creation "on their own."
Is it true that Lord Noah was able to do this just because he was here?
It wasn't a big deal.
But for that reason, I am convinced that this is a peaceful place.
"So, the creatures here are also goddess Noah...?"
"No, I think it was the water goddess (Ail) who collected the creatures." I'm not involved in the operation of the undersea shrine, so I don't know the details. "
“What are these creatures doing with their food?”
There are creatures that are sleeping, but there are no eating things.
I think keeping this much is going to be a lot of maintenance work.
"Ahh, there's a lot of [fruits of life] around here, right?" If you eat that, you won't go hungry for hundreds of years. "
"Oh, the fruit of life!?"
Queen Noel exclaimed with great enthusiasm.
I stared at the red fruit trees growing all over the place.
The fruit of life is said to have the effect of "immortality."
In the past, when I saw the transaction price in the Adventurer's Guild, I remembered that it was an astronomical amount.
Of course, I've never seen it before.
Such a thing grows roughly.
Undersea temple, scary.
"Look, it's almost time to arrive"
The Moon Goddess was right.
While we were chatting, we came to the immediate vicinity of the temple.
I use water magic to manipulate meadows.
Then, I turned to the seven-color shining temple in front of me.
(Here... the goddess (Noah)...)
The Moon Goddess didn't say anything.
But I was sure of something.
You're definitely here.
I took a small, deep breath and pulled out the hand of Queen Noelle.
But it was pulled back by an unexpected force.
Noel-san?
"Um... Makoto-san..."
Queen Noel wandered her gaze confusedly.
What's the matter?
"Row (s) (...)"
Huh?
What are you talking about?
I finally got here.
"Mr. Noel? What are you saying..."
"Makoto-san! No!" It's not like I forgot what I came here for! But my legs won't go any further! "
I also understand the anomaly in the desperate appeal to Queen Noel.
Is something going on?
"... it looks like Noah's refusing."
The goddess of the moon said it was puffy.
Nyal-sama, what do you mean?
"Unfortunately, I can't go any further either." I thought it was a gift for Noah after the seal was lifted.
Isn't the goddess of the moon able to proceed?
Ah, if Noah refuses seriously after the seal is lifted, I won't be the enemy.
The Moon Goddess shrugged her shoulders.
I'm fine.
I don't feel any discomfort.
... is it possible that I'm the only one who can come?
Makoto-san, please leave me alone.
"That's the only way, Knight." You're the only one who can see Noah. I totally envy you. "
Queen Noel will let go of my hand.
The Moon Goddess waved her hand at me with a nagging expression.
Why doesn't Lord Noah want Queen Noel or Moon Goddess in the temple?
We came all the way here together.
Noah-sama!!
I yell at the temple.
Now that the seal is lifted, you can talk to me.
And yet, as usual, I couldn't hear Lord Noah's voice.
Lord Noah must be in the temple, where the divine light keeps coming out in front of him.
And yet you don't answer anything.
(I guess I'll just have to ask you directly...)
I turned to Queen Noel.
Well then, I'll go to the goddess (Noah).
Yes, please.
The expression of Queen Noel, who smiled nickingly, was slightly imbued with anxious emotions that remained.
I'm lost, but things don't get any better if I stay here.
The moon goddess next to Queen Noel was yawning, "Fuah ~".
Apparently, we'll be waiting together.
"Say hello to Noah." I'll keep an eye on Noel. "
Understood, goddess of the moon.
I nodded quietly.
Let's spoil your words.
"Noel-san, please wait a moment." I'll be back as soon as I can. ”
"Yes, I'll be waiting for you." Take care, Makoto-san. "
The figure of Queen Noelle smiling like that was wrapped around Anna.
I waved away the phantom and headed deeper into the temple.
(There's a goddess (Noah) up ahead...)
Expectations and nervousness are mixed together, and strange emotions are held back by the [brilliant water] skill.
"I slowly stepped inside the temple..."
─ ─ And finally, I met the goddess (Noah) face to face.
While tracking the archangels, Queen Noel and I jumped into the grounds of the Undersea Temple.
"It hurts...!"
Water magic is used to mitigate the impact of collisions with the ground.
But I couldn't prevent everything.
I stood up and looked at Queen Noel, who was hugging me.
Queen Noel, who was in her arms, had fainted.
Breathing sounds are normal and there are no injuries.
Queen Noel is worried too, but first we need to do something about the Archangel who's after us.
"...... Huh?"
I turned around in a hurry, but the archangels who had been chasing us like ruthless assassins had disappeared.
No, not just that.
Are the angels gone?
The angels are disappearing to fill the sky.
Instead, something is falling into the sea.
Is that Leviathan's scales?
All that's left is the water spirits (Undine) I called.
"My king! Congratulations!"
In front of me in a daze, a watery spirit (Dia) came.
The body wasn't bleeding, but it was worn out.
"Deer, are you okay? And what the hell is this..."
"It was reached!" My king has completed the trial of the Holy God Clan! I thank my sisters and send them to their original planet. ”
"Deer is badly injured, isn't she?" You'd better rest. "
"Fufu... I'm a spirit. This kind of thing will heal soon. before that, I went to the goddess...."
She smiled mildly and lost sight of Dear.
I'm busy, but I'm glad Deer's okay.
The Great Spirits of the Water who helped us return to our planet.
My head is still fluffy and unrealistic.
"Also, I'm worried..."
(Well done, Takatsuki Makoto!)
(King of Ancient Dragons (Ashtarot)? Are you safe!?)
The demon king who talked to me was the one who became the demon king.
(You were saved by the Spirit of the Time...... but you lost half your body due to the attack of the Divine Beast. I don't think I'll be able to move for a while. Now I am healing my body on a suitable island)
(Hah, half body!? It's not okay at all!)
I mean, normally, you're gonna die.
(Thanks to the Divine Armor. Naturally, the dying body was resurrected. Kukuku, that's a wonderful artifact. Thank you for sending me something like this, Takatsuki Makoto)
(...... I'm just lending it to you?)
(............ Now, I'm tired. Sleep a little?)
(Whoa, whoa!)
I was cut off just in case.
He's not going to give it back.
But Ashtarot was also lucky to be safe.
The artifact of Cain seemed to be useful.
Tahaa, breathe out loud.
And somehow I looked up at the sky.
............ zzzzzzzzzz
And, there was a figure of the god-beast Leviathan who pressed (...) the moon (...) hard.
Speaking of which, you were falling... Mr. Moon.
The Moon Goddess's miracle (mischief) should be over, so it's time to return to normal satellite orbit.
I don't know, I need you to come back.

Cows and pigs, goblins and orcs are very unlikely to be extinct.
"That's not true." The frail creatures on the ground quickly die from (...), (...) and (...). In case that happens, I'm protecting the garden here. "
The moon goddess had a mysteriously persuasive tone.
It's as if it's 'commonplace'.
"Even Nevia's curse." She wants to rid the world of all earthly creatures in order to make peace. You don't seem to understand the danger. "
“Is it dangerous to be at peace?”
Queen Noel asked a question.
"Losing the fight means losing the competition." Creatures that no longer compete for survival are fragile. It's a trivial trigger that kills you. "
"...... haa"
Queen Noel doesn't seem to have a clue, but I've heard that competition for survival encourages the evolution of life.
In a world cursed by a witch of catastrophe, evolution would stop without anyone competing.
... there's something we're not talking about.
"After all, what is this place?" In the final labyrinth is the vault of the creature? "
I'm not sure about that.
It's so peaceful that I don't think it's in the labyrinth.
"It was originally a place that was created to seal the goddess Noah. However, the spirit and spirit that leaked out after sealing Noah for so many years made" world creation "on their own."
Is it true that Lord Noah was able to do this just because he was here?
It wasn't a big deal.
But for that reason, I am convinced that this is a peaceful place.
"So, the creatures here are also goddess Noah...?"
"No, I think it was the water goddess (Ail) who collected the creatures." I'm not involved in the operation of the undersea shrine, so I don't know the details. "
“What are these creatures doing with their food?”
There are creatures that are sleeping, but there are no eating things.
I think keeping this much is going to be a lot of maintenance work.
"Ahh, there's a lot of [fruits of life] around here, right?" If you eat that, you won't go hungry for hundreds of years. "
"Oh, the fruit of life!?"
Queen Noel exclaimed with great enthusiasm.
I stared at the red fruit trees growing all over the place.
The fruit of life is said to have the effect of "immortality."
In the past, when I saw the transaction price in the Adventurer's Guild, I remembered that it was an astronomical amount.
Of course, I've never seen it before.
Such a thing grows roughly.
Undersea temple, scary.
"Look, it's almost time to arrive"
The Moon Goddess was right.
While we were chatting, we came to the immediate vicinity of the temple.
I use water magic to manipulate meadows.
Then, I turned to the seven-color shining temple in front of me.
(Here... the goddess (Noah)...)
The Moon Goddess didn't say anything.
But I was sure of something.
You're definitely here.
I took a small, deep breath and pulled out the hand of Queen Noelle.
But it was pulled back by an unexpected force.
Noel-san?
"Um... Makoto-san..."
Queen Noel wandered her gaze confusedly.
What's the matter?
"Row (s) (...)"
Huh?
What are you talking about?
I finally got here.
"Mr. Noel? What are you saying..."
"Makoto-san! No!" It's not like I forgot what I came here for! But my legs won't go any further! "
I also understand the anomaly in the desperate appeal to Queen Noel.
Is something going on?
"... it looks like Noah's refusing."
The goddess of the moon said it was puffy.
Nyal-sama, what do you mean?
"Unfortunately, I can't go any further either." I thought it was a gift for Noah after the seal was lifted.
Isn't the goddess of the moon able to proceed?
Ah, if Noah refuses seriously after the seal is lifted, I won't be the enemy.
The Moon Goddess shrugged her shoulders.
I'm fine.
I don't feel any discomfort.
... is it possible that I'm the only one who can come?
Makoto-san, please leave me alone.
"That's the only way, Knight." You're the only one who can see Noah. I totally envy you. "
Queen Noel will let go of my hand.
The Moon Goddess waved her hand at me with a nagging expression.
Why doesn't Lord Noah want Queen Noel or Moon Goddess in the temple?
We came all the way here together.
Noah-sama!!
I yell at the temple.
Now that the seal is lifted, you can talk to me.
And yet, as usual, I couldn't hear Lord Noah's voice.
Lord Noah must be in the temple, where the divine light keeps coming out in front of him.
And yet you don't answer anything.
(I guess I'll just have to ask you directly...)
I turned to Queen Noel.
Well then, I'll go to the goddess (Noah).
Yes, please.
The expression of Queen Noel, who smiled nickingly, was slightly imbued with anxious emotions that remained.
I'm lost, but things don't get any better if I stay here.
The moon goddess next to Queen Noel was yawning, "Fuah ~".
Apparently, we'll be waiting together.
"Say hello to Noah." I'll keep an eye on Noel. "
Understood, goddess of the moon.
I nodded quietly.
Let's spoil your words.
"Noel-san, please wait a moment." I'll be back as soon as I can. ”
"Yes, I'll be waiting for you." Take care, Makoto-san. "
The figure of Queen Noelle smiling like that was wrapped around Anna.
I waved away the phantom and headed deeper into the temple.
(There's a goddess (Noah) up ahead...)
Expectations and nervousness are mixed together, and strange emotions are held back by the [brilliant water] skill.
"I slowly stepped inside the temple..."
─ ─ And finally, I met the goddess (Noah) face to face.
