[With the Shrine Maiden at the Night of the Feast…]

“““Lord Fire God, banza~i!!”””

Clanks, the people toasted merrily.

Currently, in the town of Magrid, a grand feast was being held to celebrate the resurrection of Lord Fire God (although he never died to begin with).

Although his existence itself had been handed down to the people as a legend, or more like as a fairy tale, no one had ever saw him in person, so their faith had become obsolete.

It seemed that, from now on, the mayors, too, would properly pay homage to Lord Fire God, renovate the temple, and set up an altar to offer offerings.

I thought that was very wonderful.

Just that.

“Ohh, what a divine appearance…”

“Thank you, thank you…”

“Please heal my back pain…”

“……” I had been worshipped since a while ago, but I was not Lord Fire God, okay?

However, because I had turned into a phoenix and flew all over the island, the people seemed to equate me with Lord Fire God, and I ended up being set up as the main character of the feast.

“Please try this, Exa-sama.”

“Ah, thanks.”

The shrine maiden, Kaya-san, poured me a drink.

Apparently, Kaya-san was the granddaughter of the mayor, and she was thus tasked with taking care of me.

In addition, it seemed that she was 18 years old, a little younger than me.

“But still, everyone seems to be having so much fun,” I said, looking at the people chattering with smiles on their faces.

“Yes,” Kaya-san nodded with a charming smile and said, “Until the other day, everyone had been weighted by the appearance of Adamantia after all, they must want a bright topic.
So, when they heard that the legendary Lord Fire God appeared and that the one who repelled Adamantia was His agent, they naturally obtained a peace of mind as they believed that Lord Fire God was watching over them, or so I think.”

“I see.
Well, the problem is they seems to consider me as Lord Fire God Himself though…”

Even though the real one was in the mountain…

After I said so with twitching face, Kaya-san chuckled and said, “Indeed.
But besides having met Lord Fire God in person and was bestowed power, Exa-sama has even been recognized by that Phoenix Robe.
From our point of view, you are already equivalent to the god.”

“I-is that so…” I naturally got embarrassed being flattered to that extent.

Until a while ago, I was just a luggage carrier.

Yet now, I had become a dragon slayer, and not long after that, I even got treated as a god of fire.

Kaya-san and all the people I had met so far had been very kind and nice, and it kinda felt like things had been going my way ever since I had parted from Elma, but I wondered if it was just my imagination……

Hmm, when I made a complicated face, Kaya-san smiled again while holding the bottle of drink in her hands.
“Anyway, this is a special feast.
Please enjoy yourself to the fullest, Exa-sama.”

“Ahaha, yeah!” Laughing, I enjoyed the party as Kaya-san said.

Later that night.

The mayor kindly allowed me to stay in his mansion, but.

“——I came to sleep with you tonight.”

“Ehh!?” Why did it come to this!?

The one who was dressed in white and bowing while pressing three fingers of each of her hands on the floor was the beautiful shrine maiden with smooth black hair that fit perfectly with her image—— Kaya-san.

That Kaya-san appeared in my bedroom for some reason, moreover, she said she was going to sleep with me, what bliss— cough.

Did she understand what she had said?

To me who was stunned on the bed, Kaya-san, her cheeks red, said with a slightly anxious look.
“Do you not want to do the act with me?”

“N-no, no, no, no, no!? Of course, I’ll be very happy if it’s with Kaya-san, but why do you suddenly want to s-s-s-s-sleep with me!?”

Or rather, calm down, me!?

Even if you never have that kind of experience, wouldn’t the fact that you were a beginner in the area got exposed at this rate!?

Ahh, so embarrassing!?

But Kaya-san behaved like she didn’t mind about something like that at all; she shyly said, “That is, naturally, to have a child with Exa-sama.”

“A-ahh, I see.
To have a child, is it… wait, a child!?”

S-so in short, she wanted to make a baby with me!?

Eh!? Wai-, ehh!?

As I was flustered.

“Yes, that is right,” Kaya-san quietly began to talk about her situation.
“Since the existence of Lord Fire God has become clear, we, the people of Magrid, must continue to pass it to the next generation.
For that purpose, the existence of a shrine maiden who inherits the lineage of His agent is indispensable.
That is why, please, bestow upon me your child, Exa-sama.
We must never disrespect Lord Fire God again.”

“Kaya-san…”

Sure, I understood the situation.

However.

“Are you really okay with that, Kaya-san?”

“It doesn’t matter.
That is the least that I, someone who was born in Magrid, can do as atonement.” Kaya-san smiled fleetingly.

“Hmm,” I scratched my head, and then went in front her, grabbed her delicate shoulders and said, “Yup, I think that’s not good after all!”

“Eh?”

“Well, I understand what you said.
But you should do something like that with a guy you like, that’s what I hope you will do.
And even if we were to have a child, I think that child, who would end up becoming a shrine maiden, or children who will bear the fate of being a shrine maiden following her would forever bear various pressures in the future.”

“That is…”

“If that were to be the case, it would be better for shrine maiden to be just a title.
I think if everyone chooses a person to be the main character of the feast, and give them the role of going to send offerings to Lord Fire God with a smile, that would be enough.
I mean, won’t that way make Lord Fire God happy, too? At least I, who get called Fire God, will be happy.”

Thud, I hit my chest with a smile.

Perhaps because she got overcame with emotions, Kaya-san was moved to tears.
“Exa-sama…”

“Ahaha, I’m sorry if I sounded kinda arrogant.
But for that reason, please find someone you really like, Kaya-san.
Once you find him, then you can sleep with him.”

“…Yes.
I understand…” Kaya-san nodded as she wiped her tears.
Her smile looked very beautiful under the moonlight.

By the way, it was a secret that after Kaya-san left the room, “What the hell did I do!? I’m such an idiot!!” I cried to the point of wetting my pillow.

A man’s heart was complicated in various ways.
