I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame【Abnormal State Skill】As I Devastated Everything

le as an S-Rank Hero wasn’t just an ornament, wasn’t it!? Not only did you stop a Human-Faced, I never thought you would also slash the Second Oath of the Confidants in half! I’m going to be honest with you, okay? I actually believed in you right from the start.
The reason I was so strict was that I actually wanted Sogou-san to quickly awaken your abilities.
For awakening your inherent skill worthy of the S-Rank, congratulations!]

 

The Goddess approaches, one step at a time.

And, thereupon……

 

The Goddess stopped.

 

Yes.

It’s as if a playing video was paused.

With the wide smile still on her face…

 

[ ? ]

 

[I bet you’re wondering “What the heck is she talking about now?”, huh?]

 

In an emotionless tone, the Goddess said.

The Goddess begins to flap her hand up and down alternatively.

 

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…….

 

Halt

 

Her movement stops.

 

[Fufufu, no matter how you look at it, a turnabout at this moment is too much.
Even though I have been behaving in such a horrible manner to Sogou-san, not reflecting on my past attitude in the slightest, and once Sogou-san awakened, suddenly changing my attitude towards you…… That would certainly be unbecoming of a Goddess.]

 

Putting her hands behind her waist, the Goddess smiled as she leaned forward towards me.

 

[It’s alright though.
I’m sincerely sorry for what I did.]

 

The Goddess raised her upper body and adjusted her posture, and then, deeply bowed her head.

 

[Please accept my apologies.
The reason I couldn’t see your hidden qualities was probably because my eyes were cloudy…… Well, if you traced back the past, it was because of what you did right after you were summoned, injuring my fragile heart, which is why I had held such a harsh manner towards you, so it was all Sogou-san’s fault in the first place…… but still, I am a Goddess.
Even if it’s not my fault, I need to have the generosity to personally acknowledge my mistakes and apologize.
So, I’m really sorry, Sogou-san.]

 

Raising her face from her bow, the small smile on the Goddess’s lips deepened.

 

[From now on, let’s let bygones be bygones, hold each other’s hands in harmony, and defeat the Great Demon Emperor together, shall we? I’m sorry…… There was some sharpness with the way I spoke earlier, but you will forgive me, wouldn’t you? Let’s see, after an apology, people would usually just sweep the matter under the rug, right—— That’s only if they held some decentness in them, that is.
Hahhh……]

 

Exhaling a sigh of relief, the Goddess places her hand on her left chest.

[I’m very glad that Sogou-san was such a person, holding great decentness in her heart.
I see, this so-called Class President was such a person.
At any rate, your reason for defeating the Great Demon Emperor is “for the sake of your comrades”, isn’t it—— Truly, how honorable.
Doing it not for my sake, but for the sake of all of your classmates…… and that’s why I really, really respect you.]

 

This was the first time I had ever been so mildly “respected”.

However, this isn’t the first time that I knew that the Goddess had such a difficult personality.

 

[Goddess-sama, if that’s the case……]

[Yes, yes, let’s join forces from now on.]

[In exchange for sweeping the matter under the rug, would you do me one favor?]

[Eh, we’re heading directly to that huh? How—– greedy.]

 

Not minding her words, I continued.

 

[I’d like to request for your treatment.]

 

Both of the Goddess’s eyes that don’t have any hint of warmth in them, drew an arch.

 

[Eh? For who?]

 

[For Banewolf-san, Agito-san…… and also, Oyamada-kun and Yasu-kun…… When Sakura-san’s wrist was severed in the Magic Bones Ruins, Goddess-sama healed her wrist back to her arm.
Just like that, could you please heal them?]

 

[Ah—- I see—– I see.
Sogou-san really is always thinking about your comrades! You really don’t change.
I thought you were drowning in your power and became more arrogant—– Ah, no, depending on how you look at it, that could also be considered as an arrogant wish but……]

 

Letting out a chuckle, the Goddess brought her hand on her mouth.

 

[Ara ara, it was a slip of the tongue.
I unintentionally worsened the mood again…… Fufufu, please don’t mind me.
Is that alright?]

 

Pushing away her instigations…

 

[Can you do it?]

 

The Goddess stiffened for a moment before replying…

 

[It’s not like I couldn’t do it.
It’s just that, in regards to Oyamada-san’s treatment, it’s a matter of the mind, so it won’t be easy to cure him.
Also, my have side effects, you know?]

(T/N: Heal / Goddess’s Breath)

 

[Side effects?]

 

[With my ability, I can heal most things, even the most serious injuries.
However—– there are times when I finished healing them, they would need to get a long sleep, not knowing when they would wake up.]

 

Kuuuaaahhhh……

Putting her hand over her mouth, the Goddess continues speaking after a yawn.

 

[That isn’t always the case, but even I myself…… still don’t know the difference between those who were sleeping because of my ability or those who were just normally sleeping and getting some rest, nor do I know the difference between those who can get away with just a short sleep and those who can’t.
Well, from what I understood when I used my ability to heal before, it seems to me that the more seriously injured ones have a higher rate of requiring long sleep.]

 

So the abilities of one that is named “God” isn’t all-powerful huh.

It seems like there are those who continue to sleep for decades even after their wounds have healed.

There are even those who live out their lifespan while asleep.

Whether or not they wake up is a matter of luck.

In a sense, it’s a gamble.

If that’s the case…

(There’s a high chance that Bane-san and Agito-san would be put into a long sleep huh……?)

 

Then, would it be better for Banewolf and the others to not rely on the Goddess’s healing?

 

[To tell you the truth without shying away from your ideals, it’s a waste of manpower and resources to continue to take care of someone who may wake up without knowing when…… That is why I don’t want to use my too much.
And as I’ve told you before, most of all, using it would wear myself out…… and that’s why I think using it is a waste.]

 

As if to shirk away from troublesome things, the Goddess said with a sigh.

 

[Especially when it comes to the Heroes, even if they were put to a long sleep while Root of All Evil is still alive and well…… Is a Hero who was seriously injured at a time when he was needed the most really worth saving……? It’s very, very troubling.
How really troubling.]

 

Even though I don’t feel any signs like she’s troubled at all, the Goddess’s brows drooped down.

 

[But well, it’s still fine if it was just a lower-ranked Hero.
But if it was an S-Rank Hero who is put into a long sleep, summoning them isn’t really worth anymore…… is what I mean.
Therefore, even if the S-Rank Sogou-san is seriously injured, do you understand that just healing you would be troublesome? Errr, and so…… Does that answer satisfy you, Sogou-san?]

 

I heard that it’s a miracle that Agito-san is still alive.

In other words, he’s still in a state where his survival is unpredictable.

Then…

 

[I would like to ask for a cure for Agito-san.]

[I understand.
You owe me one.]

[As for the others…… Please ask Banewolf-san and Yasu-kun if they wished for healing.
So, after telling them about the side effects, if they still wish for healing, please heal them……]

 

The Goddess’s eyes narrowed.

In her golden eyes reflects myself, propped up in crutches.

 

[I understand, I’ll do that.
Ah, Sogou-san.]

[Yes?]

[I’m sure you understand from what I just said, but please do your best and get well soon, okay? I’m sincerely pleased that you’ve gotten stronger, but I don’t think you’ll be able to fight properly yet with your body like that.]

 

Receiving the Goddess’s gaze, staring right at me…

 

[Yes.]

 

I resolutely answered right back at her.

 

[I see, is that so.
Well then, Sogou-san——-]

 

Straightening her posture, the Goddess smiled.

 

[We may not be able to do anything about our difference in personality, but let’s do our best.
And, it’s time we both grew more mature.]

 

The Goddess turns around.

 

[I still have business to attend to, so I’ll be excusing myself.
I will be giving my instructions through my subordinates later, so please wait here for a moment.]

 

Just as she was leaving, she looked back once and bows, and then, the Goddess departed.

As soon as the Goddess disappears into the castle, a man enters the square.

 

[Ah……]

[—–Sogou huh.]

[Kirihara-kun.]
