•(Grumbling)(mumbling)....You could now able to go out of my labyrinth•

Still grumbling and mumbling, the goddess tells about the good news that she is about to say, and here is the twist.

"Ha?"

It is indeed good news, as I even surprisingly received it.

"Wait, really? How come? You said we could only get out of this labyrinth by finishing your trials?"

I asked the goddess, who responded with a grumble and grudgingly said-

•That was supposed to be the case, but after our earlier conversation, it was decided that you need to take action as soon as possible.•

"Wait, what action?"

•Do you remember the preparations that I did and what they were for?•

Of course, I remember. Because of those preparations, I know what it's like to be at death's door. It's good that it didn't open, or else I'd be a ghost haunting you. Even if I didn't know it was you at the time, I'd still haunt you because you're the only one to blame that I can think of.

•Leaving aside your stupid mortal thoughts, we, The Gods need you to be the catalyst to open the world to your world.•

Wait, what? No, it's not time for that!

"Leaving aside my disbelief in what I just heard, how am I supposed to do that? Actually, that's my main question. But assuming you gods already have a plan, what should we do to make it happen?"

•.....Now we talking, of course, we have a plan•

Of course, It should be. Because, despite seeing only a small fraction of this world, there's no way it could be ruled by an inept goddess like you alone. Surely, there must be a competent or at least a modest god governing this world. Otherwise, I shock myself to death worrying about how I will survive here.

•Of course, we are Gods, you know. Especially the Light Goddess and Dark God—the Pillar Gods of this world. Their governance has been impeccable since time memorial. To tell you the truth, these two are the most active in thinking and preparing the plan. If the fiends and monsters didn't invade, these two could continue to elevate—wait, I feel like I missed something in your thoughts just now.•

Yes! Thank God—no, I thank this god and goddess for their work. Because of them, I might be able to feel some assurance about this world you reside in. And as expected of you, goddess, even though you might lack in most departments, there's no doubt you're a good and kind goddess, especially when hearing how proud you are of your fellow gods.

•Hoho! Yes, of course. And also, especially the Elemental Gods. Although most of the time they are not getting along but when there is something that be must done, you can definitely rely on them and then really, I'm catching something in your thoughts?•

"Haha, it's nothing, goddess. Hmm!" (Clearing my thoughts)

Hmm! (So the goddess couldn't catch on)

"Hmm! Returning to the topic, what should we do?"

I ask after I clear my throat and my narrating throat that narrating the story, wait, what I'm talking about? I better leave this thought aside.

I then perk my ears and listen to the instructions the goddess is about to give, instructions from a plan devised by competent gods and goddesses.

•Ah, that's right, Attendant and future Apostle and Saint, Makina, here's what we're going to do.•

As a wise man (self-proclaimed), I know that when the goddess says "attendant," she's referring to me. To be honest, I have no problem with that. But the one thing that causes me a problem is how this goddess decides things for Makina, and I find it annoying. However, seeing in the previous chapter—no, interaction—it seems Makina has no problem with it and just accepts it. This makes me decide to let it go, but it doesn't mean I tolerate it.

Seeing she is a goddess, surely she's reading my thoughts and heeding my words. She looks me in the eye and nods slightly. Although I have a feeling that nod means something different from what I have in mind, I hold my tongue and wait for her instructions.

•The plan is simple: visit all the labyrinths where we gods reside, receive the blessings of each god, and build a portal that will bridge our world to yours. Simple, right?•

"..."

°....°

"(....It...indeed....simple)"

It's so simple that I have to question the plan's reliability. However, believing that this is a summarized version of a competent plan made by the gods, I decide to ask some basic questions.

"When you say visit the labyrinth and receive their blessing, do you really mean just visit and receive the blessing like a delivery man, or do we have to challenge their labyrinth trials and pass them to receive their blessings like in some sort of hero saga?"

•It's usually the latter, but given our situation, we don't have time for that. Like how I gave you my blessing even though you haven't finished my trial.•

"Wait, what blessing?"

•Check your status, you should be able to see it now. This blessing is also part of the preparation I gave you. The other part is me creating a small version of myself to accompany you on your journey. It's like taking a small part of myself and making a clone.•

Although to some extent, I understand what she means, as I am a fan of many fantasy tropes. It's like "It's me, but not really me. It's like a clone, but real, but at the same time fake." kind of trope, I don't know how she does it, but seeing as she is the goddess of souls, it must be related to souls somehow.

If I remember correctly, the magical term is... Alter Ego?

•That! Something like that.•

Right! Well, back to me. I check my status and... Ah, there it is.

Blessing of the Soul Goddess 

---

At the bottom, or rather just above me, and don't ask why I think so—what's important is that it's really there.

To check it, I use the skill "Ascertainment" to appraise it. Indeed, even though the goddess might be a bit dense, there's no doubt she's a god, a divine being.
