The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother!

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."

 "Serena-sama?"

 "It's fine; let me explain. I am the son of the goddess Ishtas and Ceres, the one people call a hero and even a Divine Dragon..."

 "So, Serena-sama is a god after all?"

 "I'm the son of a goddess, but I'm not a god. Let's put that aside. What about my mom, Ishtas? Do you think she was happy as a goddess?"

 "Since she's a goddess, she must have been happy, right?"

 Everyone is getting it wrong.

 Mama Ishtas said she was "lonely and lonely" until she met Dad.

 She said she's really having fun now...

 "You know, Mama Ishtas told Dad that she was 'lonely and lonely' until she met him? There aren't many gods in this world, okay? So, she must be very lonely beings! Grandpa Bauer and the dragons might not understand, but at least Mama Ishtas said she was 'lonely and lonely'."

 "Is that so?"

 "Yeah, I came to this world not only to 'find a fiancee' but also because I wanted to give Dad and Zect-oniichan the 'youth' they couldn't enjoy. Well, it didn't work out so well! I didn't know common sense, and I was a child, so I messed up in various ways and failed... So, what will you do, Uncle Edgar? Do you want to treat me as 'God' and make me lonely? Or would you like to become 'friends' and get along?"

 "I..."

 "I've told you everything I can. It's up to you, Uncle Edgar."

 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]
