BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143.1
Chapter 143.1
Chapter 143.1. Heroes
-Miu’s POV-
Takano Miu felt remorseful. With a gloomy face, she bowed her head, her ice-blue eyes glistening with teardrops, resembling a teary-eyed child.
“I failed. I think I created fanatics.”
The 9 magicians are kneeling in front of Mii-chan. That’s not good for a girl’s education.
That wasn’t how it was supposed to go. After the magicians recovered, I expected most to want to return to their families, with only a few remaining.
I was thinking of scouting the remaining people and making them the escorts for the druids we will help from now on.
“Loki-sama, I have a favor to ask. Please grant me a new name!”
“Grant us new names too!”
“Oh no! I already tried to act cool and introduced myself!”
The 8 men and women started clamoring for names, and Nimue was shocked.
What a situation this is. I can’t help but think again that this world is a world of novels. It gives me an unpleasant feeling.
This kind of atmosphere can only exist in a fictional world.
[Well, of course. After all, everyone has been living for decades with just their minds. Then you’re healing their souls.]
[I see… If you don’t follow the dosage properly, it can lead to serious consequences. Thank you for enlightening me, Freya.]
In the game, it was just simple recovery magic, but in reality, it seems to have a powerful impact.
[Um, I also want to thank you for summoning me.]
The one communicating through thoughts was the new goddess, Freya.
She had platinum blonde hair, beautiful jewel-like emerald eyes, and a small, lovely face.
Her timid-looking eyes gave off a somewhat disappointing impression.
She was a goddess I summoned because I wanted another companion in the battle against Gerer.
In mythology, she was a goddess who gathered the souls of fallen heroes and prepared for Ragnarok in Valhalla.
Here is her status as such.

She’s a Holy Knight with a composite job. She’s perfect as a tank, attacker, and solo player who can also use healing magic.
In addition, the paid goddess Freya can use the unique skill [Spirit Magic].
[Spirit Magic] is a skill that allows her to control spirits, an extension of the monster tamer. It allowed her to make the spirits found in the deep DLC dungeons her allies.
It’s a skill that can make considerably strong monsters her allies. Moreover, it receives the enhancement of monsters, making it even stronger. The developers were promoting adventure further with Freya and the spirits and spending more money.
Well, it was a new adventure. By that time, my character was already the strongest.
But I admired the developers who tried to squeeze more money out of the players with a collector’s spirit, collecting spirits.
“Please grant us names, Loki-sama!”
Are you guys maybe some monsters or something begging for names? Will you power up once you receive a name?
“Well, you are all humans! So please cherish the names given to you by your parents!”
Miu-chan said proudly, scolding those who came begging. She said a good thing, didn’t she?
“We have been reborn! Goddess, please!”
“Uh…”
I avoided the adults who tried to cling to me and felt troubled. These people’s eyes are scary.
[Using [Heroic Spirit Contract] doesn’t turn people into fanatics, right?]
Freya told me that if I do [Heroic Spirit Contract], I could hide my true nature, so I entrusted it to her. But she used it differently from its original purpose, so I’m suspicious of side effects. It’s called shifting responsibility.
[Well, the original purpose is to contract with spirits called heroes, but it doesn’t make them fanatics. The power of the contract is to forcibly summon the contractor and give an alarm to me when they commit evil acts. But…]
[But?]
[I haven’t told them this, but the prerequisite for a hero’s contract is to never betray for all eternity. Heroes don’t betray you, their contractors.]
[For all eternity… never betray me. I see, in the game, we couldn’t give heroes orders, but they have their free will because they would never betray me. That was the setting, right?]
Never betray for all eternity. It means that I can’t make a contract unless those heroes are someone who pledges their loyalty to you with their life. Originally, it’s magic that contracts with spirits that don’t have life, so their loyalty is at its maximum from the beginning. In reality, it is reflected in humans as well.
I see, it’s not easy to make an [Heroic Spirit Contract].
