Chapter 125

Puuuuuu――

“Goddess!! Harder!! More intense!! Good!! Aah!! So good―!!”

Next to the goddess blowing the saxophone without any pitch, a music veteran screams.

Chirp chirp

“Goddess!! Your gestures… so, so skilled? Aah! There, there!! Yes! Good!!”

Beside the goddess carelessly smearing any color on the canvas, an art veteran cheers.

Stir stir

“Haah!! Your posture is off!! Butt, legs!! Aah!! Is this a beginner?!”

Watching the goddess do a chaotic squat while half-heartedly lifting a barbell, a fitness veteran is ecstatic.

Chatter chatter

Hundreds of various veterans continued to react wildly to the goddess’s clumsy, provocative movements that had never experienced any cultural activity. After surpassing all kinds of hobbies, they finally reached games.

“……”

Suddenly, the goddess stopped her actions while playing games.

“Uh, huh? Why? It was, it was good, why did you stop?”

The magical girl, a gaming veteran, who had been unable to hide her excitement watching the goddess’s awkward gestures, felt anxious. As silence continued with her finger on the pause button of the borrowed handheld console, her anxiety grew.

‘Could it be that the game isn’t fun…?’

The newbie, who had been expressionless but actively participating in art, music, and fitness, suddenly stopped in the game.

‘I shouldn’t have picked such a difficult game…!’

A grave mistake.

If word got out in the magical girl community, she would be blamed for leading the newbie astray and ending up in the gaming graveyard.

“Haha! So, it wasn’t fun? Sorry!”

“……”

The magical girl who brought the game console hurriedly suggested switching to another game. However, the silver-haired girl, staring intently at the screen, simply replied bluntly.

“Swordsmanship.”

“Huh?”

“I want to progress this boss with only swordsmanship. Is there no way?”

Normally, the correct way to defeat that boss is to use the long-range magic obtained early on.

But she was trying to challenge it physically.

“Aaaah!!!”

In the end, the gaming veteran magical girl also let out a loud groan and collapsed.

Amid exaggerated reactions, the other magical girls kept suggesting new hobbies while the goddess just sighed.

“Phew.”

Secretly, the goddess felt enjoyment in trying various things.

However, she could not fathom why the successor was having her do such various activities. They were just following orders, but the orders themselves were incredibly vague.

‘Until I find something I like.’

What does it mean to like something, and when exactly will that be?

It would be more certain if there was a time limit like defeating all the trial monsters.

“……”

The goddess slowly looked over the faces of the girls chattering next to her with vague feelings.

Joy

Excitement

Cheers

The girls’ faces sparkled in different colors as they discussed what to order from the goddess next.

“Now that we’ve tried everything, should we make something delicious?”

“Oooh! I’ll teach you authentic French home cooking!”

“Huh? What are you talking about! It’s definitely Italian when it comes to cooking!”

Different values

Different fates

Different dreams

In the hearts of the girls, different colors of starlight sparkled, big or small.

The brilliant brilliance stretching towards the future resembled the dream form shown by the Goddess of Start in the beginning and, over distant times, diverged more and more into multiple paths, heading toward different roads.

“……”

Countless dreams that have been endlessly bumped and changed among humans sparkled in the girls’ eyes.

Future

They lived anticipating tomorrow.

Why is that?

Why does the concept of ‘dream’ spread by the successor have such diverse colors?

Though still lesser than the shining Goddess of Start, the successor still wielded power that wasn’t too different in nature. Rather, the way she struggled to take responsibility for the trial monsters was more overprotective than the Goddess of Start.

‘What is the difference between [Start] and [Hope]?’

The goddess was reflecting on the various aspects of the Goddess of Start that she had once taken for granted, yet she still hadn’t realized it herself.

‘The difference between a goddess and a successor.’

The Goddess of Start was self-complete but couldn’t think about tomorrow.

The successor was self-incomplete but moved while thinking about tomorrow.

Their one difference caused the forms of dreams the magical girls held to become far more diverse and colorful. They sparkled more from diverse emotions and thoughts in a world that the goddess could not even imagine.

Those dreams sparkled so brightly, she involuntarily came to like them.

Tomorrow

What does tomorrow mean to humans?

“Goddess!! Where are you!! Let’s make Japanese food together!!”

“Let’s eat cake together!!”

She could hear those voices.

“So, should we head back now?”

“Thank you, successor.”

“What? You’re always working hard.”

The goddess received one more gift from her.

“Happy birthday. Hecate.”

“…Thank you.”
