[You have encountered a G.o.ddess for the first time.]

[Your stats will increase just by facing the power of a G.o.ddess.]

[All stats have increased by 2.]

I was amazed by the presence that had silently come. Looking back, there was a woman with curly, pale green hair. I could recognize who she was with one glance.

“Oh, I thought my heart was going to fall out.”

[I'm sorry if you're surprised.]

She was the master of the temple here. The G.o.ddess of the wind, Huera. She was in Prometheus' memory. The smell of the wind around her felt good.

“Should I call you G.o.ddess-nim?”

[If that's what you're comfortable with then you can do it.]

“Then I'll do so. This is my first time meeting you.”

In fact, it didn't matter if I spoke informally like I did to Prometheus. However, I was in a position where I was making a request. There were also two things. Wait, wasn't this the human world? “How did you enter the human world?”

[This is a place full of divine power. It is also the only place in the human world that isn't influenced by the ban. Of course, not all of them descend. Then this place wouldn't be able to endure.]

“Ah…” I remembered there was such a thing in Prometheus' memories. The G.o.ds often descended to temples in the human world to give divine messages. Of course, it consumed a lot of power. “I have a request.”

The G.o.ddess' hair was fluttering in the gentle breeze. She smiled at me.

[I think I know what you want. I can feel the life of the wind from you.]

I pulled out Aiolos' Egg. The egg was s.h.i.+ning with a faint green light and seemed like it was about to be born. Huera made the egg float in the air and spoke.

[This is the previous generation □□'s egg. He was originally a sacred creature of Jupiter. In the human world, he was called Aiolos.]

I knew this. Aiolos wasn't the real name of this guy. Originally, his real name was □□ but Aiolos didn't like to be called this. For him who always wanted to live like a human, the name □□ was just a formal name. Perhaps the name 'Aiolos' that Flora called was better.

However, it was a name that would be reclaimed someday. It was due to the ban that I couldn't say the true name at the moment. It would be a disaster if a being who hadn't yet been born could really recognize the true name. Realizing the name meant regaining the position.

“I already know this. By the way, there is one more request.”

[Say it.]

“Prometheus has fallen to the Taboo Curse.”

[What? Oh my, perhaps you are…?]

A strong wind blew around her. I felt a pretty strange pleasure at seeing the G.o.ddess of the wind look surprised. In the calm wind, I opened my mouth, “I have come to keep the brilliant promise.”

* * *

[You have entered the star cl.u.s.ter, 'Star Coffee House.']

I came here thanks to Huera. She placed her hand on my head when I said Prometheus was in danger and I slipped into a slumber I woke up and found myself in this place. “It is still here.”

Ttiring~

[G.o.ddess of revival and the wind, 'Huera,' has entered.]

Revival and the wind…

In this world, apart from the three original G.o.ds, all the G.o.ds had two powers. If Prometheus was fire and prophecy then Huera was revival and wind. She was always the G.o.ddess who announced the beginning of all things with the wind of revival when spring came.

[Where is Prometheus?]

“Follow me.” I guided her along a familiar path. It was still a place where cherry blossoms were swirling. I walked and found the place where I met Prometheus the other day. I opened the door widely.

[This is a really interesting place.]

“This is the first place where I met my wife.”

[Originally, it was common for a place where constellations or G.o.ds stayed for a long time to appear but Prometheus is different.]

“Ah, that's it…”

I had never thought about it before. Why was it a s.p.a.ce from my memories instead of somewhere Prometheus stayed? However, I could quickly make a guess. He probably didn't want to think about the pain. Originally, the Caucasus Mountains would've appeared but it wasn't a place with good memory for Prometheus. It was because it was a place where birds ate his liver.

[You still resent Jupiter.]

“There is no way I would like him.”

[Indeed, I think so.]

I scoured the places where Prometheus could be. Fortunately, I was able to find him quickly. However, it was a bit strange.

[Why is he like that?]

“…Who knows?”

Prometheus was lying in a coffin wearing a white suit. It was full of red roses and there were also many unnamed flowers. The funny thing was that there was a rose behind his ear. I almost burst out laughing and it was even more so when I saw that one nostril was larger than the other. If anyone saw it, they would say he looked crazy.

“Cough. Cough…”

I read the text under the coffin and was forced to laugh.

[Here lies a lover who picked a star for me.]

What was this? It was something Camille had done. I couldn't help laughing at the words that were similar to what would be written on a tombstone. Doing this… what did Camille mean to say?

In any case, Huera laughed.

[Prometheus still has a good relations.h.i.+p with Camille.]

“…Not necessarily.”

[First of all, I need to see Prometheus' condition.]

The wind blew as Huera approached him. She raised her hand to Prometheus' forehead and closed her eyes. A short time later, she opened her mouth, [It will consume a huge amount of divinity…]

“Is his condition not good?”

[The Taboo Curse can't be easily resolved.]

I frowned at her words. “Then he can't wake up forever?”

[I had consumed a bit of divinity because of my descent. All I can do for him now is make him fall into a scheduled sleep and enter a weak sleeping state.]

A scheduled sleep… maybe this was better.

“Then please do so. I need him.”

[Then you have to choose.]

“What…?”

Huera opened her mouth, [Prometheus and Aiolos' egg. I can only wake up one of them with the power I have left.]

“This…” I couldn't help biting my lip. It was a problem that was extremely distressing. I was in a daze because I couldn't choose and she said, [I want to wake Prometheus. I want to see his ugly face.]

After saying so, she put his finger in Prometheus' nostril and pulled it wider. She smiled as if it was funny.

[Keep this a secret from Prometheus.]

I saw this and could guess that Huera was a pretty playful G.o.ddess. Still, this wasn't the important thing.

“Then Aiolos' egg…”

She raised her index finger that she inserted into his nose to her mouth in a common gesture.

[Shh. I have an idea.]

Huera continued to touch Prometheus' nostrils. Unfortunately, Prometheus' nostrils were getting wider and wider.

* * *

I opened my eyes to the blowing breeze. Looking around, it was a familiar place. It was the Temple of Wind that I had previously come to. The boundary was covered with more lava than before. I frowned at the appearance. At this time, I heard a voice.

[There's nothing to worry about.]

Huera appeared with the spring breeze. She had just used all of her strength to wake Prometheus. The message in front of me was proof.

[The Taboo Curse on Prometheus, G.o.d of fire and prophecy, has been stripped.]

[There are 999 hours remaining until Prometheus wakes up.]

[This is based on real time.]

“It is a real time standard…”

It was 24 hours in a day so it would take Prometheus around 40 days to wake up. It seemed to take longer than I expected so I couldn't help frowning.

Huera said, [I'm sorry. This is the best I can do now.]

“No, thank you for your hard work.”

[Then it is time to wake up the egg.]

“Is this really possible…?”

I was half-convinced because she said she had an idea but there were some dubious points. Even more so because she was so playful that she was hard to predict. She laughed.

[I intend to use the power of the temple.]

I was a bit fl.u.s.tered by the unexpected words.

“Will it be okay? Then the temple…”

[It won't be able to act as a temple anymore. It is going to be covered in lava outside and will disappear. I'm on the verge of tears.]

She really did look tearful. I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. The temple was a s.p.a.ce that was the symbol of a G.o.d. The more people wors.h.i.+pped them, the greater the power of the G.o.d. It was just that without the protection around it, the temple lost its strength. Her determination was greater than I thought.

[Instead, I have two requests for you.]

…This was right. There was nothing free in the world. It was the same here in this world.

“What is it?”

[First, I'm worried about Windia. Windia will take the divine wind from here every year but if the temple disappears, Windia will be in great trouble.]

This was what Edward had told me. I remember hearing that the divine wind was the driving force behind the windmill. If the temple was lost then Windia would be in great trouble. I nodded again. “What can I do?”

She pointed to the egg.

[The being born from the egg will probably be born with divine wind. I hope you will come to Windia every year to share the sacred wind.]

It wasn't as difficult as I thought. I had become a village chief of Windia anyway. It was a position where we have to meet every year. There was nothing difficult because Edward had told me to drop by often. “I'll do that. What is the second request?”

[The second is to build a new temple. I've had this temple for a long time and I want to cry at the thought of it disappearing.]

“…I can't do that.”

[I'm sad.]

Ttiring~

[G.o.ddess Quest – G.o.ddess of Revival and Wind, Huera's Request.]

She wants to help you even if she has to give up her temple. Let's complete both of Huera's requests.

-Completion Conditions: Supply the divine wind to Windia 0/1, build Huera's temple 0/1.

Rewards: The blessing of the G.o.ddess of revival and wind.

Failure: The curse of the wind will come to you.]

I read through the quest window and sighed a bit. “Let me talk to the lord. Then it might be possible.”

[Then I'm happy.]

[The quest has been accepted.]

Looking at her smiling again after becoming tearful, I thought she was very pure. I thought it would be okay if I had a daughter like this. Maybe I would be a fool that overly dotes on my daughter.

…Suddenly, I wanted to see my youngest daughter. I should video call her. I wanted to see my grandson, Minchan. I thought of them and couldn't help smiling.

[There is another thing you must do.]

“Huh? I've already received two requests and there is another one?”

The sudden words caused confusion. d.a.m.n, what was it this time?

[This place contains the power of the wind that Alexus left behind.]
