Type-Moon Simulator: Start the game by attacking the Greek goddess!

[There is almost no flaw]

[However, she has been doing this for thousands of years. As an evil god, she helps people in an evil way.]

[Even if I am not understood, I accept it]

[Because, judging by the results, it's good, so I just accept it as an acceptable fact.]

From the perspective of focusing solely on the results of their actions, Ereshkigal is not much different from the gods of Mesopotamia.

[By constantly doing this for tens of millions of years, even the dullest of actors will be honed to perfection.]

If you hadn't read the land's memories and learned a lot about the underworld and Ereshkigal, you wouldn't have been able to see through the truth behind her acting.

[It's impossible to be so sure~ She is a gentle god]

All of this is based on...

"Though the world says so, it's only their perception. They don't see the full picture. If you truly accept this superficial, one-sided account, then... Ereshkigal, you're only deceiving yourself."

"What do you know about me!?

You've proven my true identity without any evidence! Moran, you're just a special human being! And I'm a god!

Ereshkigal said angrily.

The sense of urgency in my heart is becoming stronger and stronger.

[The man in front of me is too stubborn]

[That straightforward gaze made her struggle, and every time she tried to harden her heart, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.]

【Feeling happy that a man believes in his kindness】

【But, I don’t want this to happen】

This is a rather contradictory and awkward emotion. Behind the lofty self-esteem and intellect lies an almost self-deprecating inferiority complex.

[The truth of Ereshkigal is this]

"I have evidence. I said I saw a lot."

"...On what basis?"

"On the way down to the underworld, I saw those woven cages. They weren't made by someone who wanted to play with souls. They were too delicate and exquisite."

Moran told the evidence he knew.

The best way to expose lies is to tell the truth.

"I heard no pain in the voices of those souls, nor did I hear their complaints against the underworld. Furthermore, the cages were never designed to restrain souls. Every soul in the cages could come and go freely, enjoying only peace and tranquility.

Such a gun cage is not for restraint or imprisonment, but for the stability of the soul and for protection."

Moran's major area of magic is necromancy.

He is an expert in dealing with souls.

[The gun cage in the underworld is so exquisite that it makes people exclaim in amazement]

[It's no exaggeration to say that as long as the underworld is not destroyed, these gun cages will be able to be used even until the end of the world.]

[The soul can stay in it until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble]

[This alone is a skill that only gods can achieve. Even you may not be able to create such a thing.]

[Ereshkigal works diligently every day]

[It was her pure desire to protect souls that allowed her to create this miracle. As a necromancer, you can only admire her.]

"That, that's just a cage to imprison souls. It doesn't mean anything at all! I'm just fulfilling my duties as the master of the underworld!"

"Yes, you're fulfilling your duty, but it's too tedious. If you don't care about souls, there's no need to do something that even gods find troublesome. Wouldn't it be better to just find a cage?"

Why would we need to meticulously craft one for each soul? Isn't such an act, from a responsibilities perspective, inefficient?"

Every word Moran said hits the heart.

He bluntly said that Ereshkigal was doing unnecessary things and there was no need to take such meticulous care of the soul.

This is not what the Mistress of the Underworld has to do.

However, she took the initiative.

The only explanation is that she cares about the souls that come to the underworld from the bottom of her heart.

"Hmm... Aren't you observant too much?! You've read so much into just the gun cage... And you're saying I care about souls and all that, just from talking about that! That's too far-fetched!?"

Suddenly, Ereshkigal panicked.

He started saying one thing and thinking another.

[She was delighted and excited on one side, but embarrassed and ashamed at being seen through on the other.]

「——Surely, you’re this attentive.」

[No one has ever noticed this, yet you even noticed the details of her efforts]

It’s a lie to say Ereshkigal is unhappy.

[However, she couldn't let her joy show on her face, otherwise she would lose her image as the goddess of fear.]

“I said, I see a lot.

Actually, more than that, I also know that you once tried to obtain the power of the sun and life from Nergal and Dumuzi, also in order to improve the environment of the underworld. You wanted to make the underworld a better place.

Well, even though you failed in the end, what you got from them was the power of darkness... "

"Huh?! Why...you even know this! I haven't told anyone about this! I thought I hid it well!"

Ereshkigal could no longer hold back.

The little face suddenly turned red.

It was natural for her to feel embarrassed when her embarrassing past was brought up in this way.

His eyes were fixed on Moran.

As if to say that an explanation must be given.

"Regarding this, I actually have a special ability that allows me to connect to the earth veins and directly read the memories of this land..."

"Ah...ah...then...shouldn't...?"

Listen to Moran's subtle expression.

There was no way Ereshkigal wouldn't understand this, and she couldn't suppress her panic at all.

The inner fortress wall collapsed in an instant.

No wonder Moran was so sure of her nature. It turned out that he had known everything and seen through it all.

"Am I...completely...exposed...?!"

"Well...it's like this..."

Ereshkigal asked with a trembling voice.

His speech gradually became more and more stammering.

It was like a private diary being opened by an outsider, and the shame that came from the bottom of my heart consumed me.

"How much have you seen? How much have you seen about me? Wait... If you know so much, then the terrifying goddess image I just played is also..."

"Well, I knew you were acting from the beginning. But you must be thinking about me, okay? So, I understand."

“Ah ...

Ereshkigal put his hands to his cheeks.

For a moment, she turned her back to Moran and squatted on the ground.

The only person here is a young girl who is extremely ashamed and angry because her true face has been exposed.

"What a mistake! What a mistake! What should I do now? As expected, a gloomy goddess like me can only stay in the dark underworld... It's really... It's so embarrassing..."

Ereshkigal trembled with shame.

The shame overflowing from my chest was so strong it could have bounced the universe away.

When I think about how hard I tried to act just now, it's simply socially devastating.

At this moment, she didn't even have the courage to look Moran in the eye.

The goddess demeanor is completely lost.

It took a while for Ereshkigal to calm down and he stood up again from the ground with great difficulty.

She asked uneasily:

"Um...um...how much do you know?"

"Haha... well... are you sure you want me to tell you everything...?"

Moran gave a very subtle smile.

This reaction was obvious. Ereshkigal was so ashamed and angry that the little pearls in his eyes were about to fall out.

“Forget it! Forget everything! Forget everything I just did! Why…why do I always fail like this—!!”

Ereshkigal's wails continued to echo.

This was accompanied by a subtle, awkward laugh.

This was the first time the two met.

[The two of you have reunited.]

[However, the awkwardness in the air lingers]

Ereshkigal already knew his true identity had been exposed, and he could no longer maintain his disguise.

[In other words, she chose not to pretend]

"In short, most gods are cruel and ruthless. I'm just an exception. A special case! I still hope you can understand this!"

"Don't worry about that. I've met Ishtar before, and I have some idea of what the other gods are like. That's why I can make my own judgment. Ereshkigal, I'm convinced that you're a good and kind god."

Moran once again expressed his judgment.

This time, there is sufficient basis.

The affirmation that came from this was also very weighty. After he understood everything about the goddess, he gave his answer.

"Mmmmm... being gentle... is too much... I'm not as nice as you think... I'm just doing my job...!"

"Haha, you can be more confident in this regard. Compared to those willful gods, your dedication and diligence is already worthy of praise.

From now on, you don't have to act like the goddess of fear in front of me. Ereshkigal, you just need to act the way you like.

"Just the way I like it..."

Ereshkigal murmured.

It is so nice to have someone like this who, after seeing everything, is still willing to treat me as an equal.

To be honest, she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

No one had ever said these things to her.

This was also her first time establishing such a social relationship, and she was somewhat nervous, but she still wanted to reach out.

Yes, just as Moran said.

Have a little more confidence

She said this to herself in her heart.

Ereshkigal nodded. "Well, thank you, Moran."

There was a gentleness in her eyes, a gentleness that was not there when she was wearing the queen's mask.

"Come to think of it, now that things have come to this, we're not strangers anymore, right? Moran, you know so much about me. Um...how should I put it...in human terms...um...friend?"

Ereshkigal squirmed.
