Immortality

"So… Are you going to start the thing or not?" I decided to ask Artia, when I felt that it was taking quite too long for the trial to begin.

"Me? Sigh… You're not that idiotic, are you? I said, do the thing you wanted to do in the first place!" Artia replied, and she sounded quite infuriated while doing so.

"Oh… So that's what you meant. Tch! How stupid of me, hehe…"

Welp, in order to not make the situation more uncomfortable, I spoke in a slight humorous way. The goddess was right, and I should have understood the meaning behind her previous words. Sike, just kidding, because how is anyone supposed to know that she did indeed mean something as such. I bet you didn't even figure out that I was supposed to emit the same desire that I had in the real world, in order to start the trial of mine. Heck! If my memories serve right, the goddess said those words of hers in reply to my question of "How do I become the king of minds?". Not "How do I begin the trial?"!
