Are you awake, Goddess?
Bell-kun?
How are you feeling?
Are you hurt anywhere?
I'm not hurt, but my head feels like it's full of fuzz.
You still have a fever.
I'll pour you some water.
Bell-kun, where are we?
The mayor's house in a mountain village.
Ais-san saved us from the water.
Where's Wallenwhatsit?
Looking around outside the village.
She says Ares-sama's army may still be nearby.
I'm sorry, Bell-kun. This is all my fault.
Come in.
How is the Goddess?
Oh, Karm-san.
She just woke up.
That's wonderful to hear.
You're the mayor, huh?
Thanks for the help.
No, it's nothing...
I'm sorry, but I'd like to stay here a little longer.
Is that okay?
Of course.
Treat this home as your own.
My daughter Rina will be at your beck and call.
Thanks, that's a huge help!

Song of Love Goddess and Child
Welcome back.
How is Hestia-sama?
She woke up, but then went back to sleep.
So what did you find?
No sign of Rakia's forces or Asfi-san.
Just signs that they fought.
Did they retreat?
I don't know.
But it's best to stay here a little longer.
L-Let's stay here a little longer, then.
Okay.
Father, are you okay?
Thank you. I'm fine.
I was happy to have such a kind daughter as yourself.
Now, get some rest.
Tomorrow, I'll need you to help the Goddess again.
Yes...
Good night.
Good night.
I'm really sorry, Bell-kun.
Please don't say that.
This is a great village, huh?
Yes, everyone is warm and kind.
How about some tea?
Thank you.
There's a festival in the village tonight to pray for good harvests.
The rain's finally stopped, so everyone is excited.
I see!
Oh, thanks.
Bell-kun, why not help with the preparations for the festival?
But will you be okay, Goddess?
The Hestia Familia has to do something
to repay the people who've helped us so much.
Go and help them, Bell-kun.
Okay, off I go.
Good morning.
G-Good morning.
They said I'd look good in this.
Does it look weird?
No, you look great.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I'm going to help with the village festival.
Festival?
Sorry to ask a visitor for help like this.
It's fine. You've done a lot for us.
She's sure pretty, though.
Are all the girls in Orario pretty like that?
Um... they all have their own charm.
Okay, we're done.
I'll ask for more help later.
Okay, whenever you want.
Is this...
It's a scale from the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon?
It's not a fairy tale.
The Black Dragon exists.
The Three Great Quests have yet to be completed.
This is a scale from the Black Dragon?
Yes. A long time ago,
when it was driven from Orario by the great hero and fled north,
scales fell from its body onto this village.
Big ones, little ones... There are ten in all.
It's thanks to these scales that the village isn't attacked by monsters.
What do you mean?
Most monsters are too scared of the Black Dragon's scales to come any closer.
It's thanks to these that we can live in peace.
It's strange to worship a monster, though, I think.
But it's not the gods or adventurers that keep us safe.
It's these scales.
The one-eyed dragon in the stories...
The dragon that might destroy the world protects...
this village?
But if the Black Dragon is ever defeated,
what will we do then?
We'll probably still worship them, I think.
Ais-san?
They're kind of like a god, huh?
These things are no god.
Let's head back.
R-Right...
Goddess, I'm back.
Karm-san, is something wrong?
Oh, Bell-san...
Can you spare some time for an old man?
Bell-san, you truly revere your goddess, don't you?
Yes, of course.
She took me in when I had nowhere to go.
Bell-san, do you know what this is?
Is it the emblem of a familia?
Yes. I was once the child of a certain goddess.
I revered her, and she loved me.
We swore
our love to one another...
But I couldn't protect her.
She saved me, and miraculously, I survived.
She returned to Heaven.
I thought of following her so many times.
But I couldn't abandon the life she gave me.
So I arrived at this village,
and spent the rest of my life without taking a wife.
Then Rina-san...
...is adopted.
An orphan from the village.
Rina is what keeps me going.
But...
Karm-san! Are you okay?
Should I get Rina-san?
No need to worry.
I know my own body best of all.
Bell-san, please take care of her...
of your goddess...
Karm-san!
You may ignore what I say as the foolish words of a dying man.
But you must not have regrets, like I do.
I feel a lot less tired...
But if I stay in bed, Bell-kun will take care of me.
I'll just stay like this for a while.
C-Come in...
Excuse me.
Wallenwhatsit?!
