I Was Just an Ugly Girl, But in Another World They Call Me an Angel - 13 - The Goddess Lumiere Appears Again in the Dream

Wrapped in a soft, floating light, I found myself once again in that place. A space that was endlessly white and gentle. And at its center stood a dazzling figure with waist-length, straight golden hair—still the epitome of an idol, or rather, a “goddess too beautiful for words,” standing tall and proud.

“Kanako-chan! You’re safe!? I’m so glad!”

As soon as Lumiere saw me, she rushed over with a beaming smile, tightly grasping my hand. Her sparkling eyes, her airy voice, but unfortunately, her energy was disappointingly light.

“…What was that attack!? I’m just an ordinary human, you know!? That was downright dangerous!”

I couldn’t help but raise my voice. That arrow of light had been incredibly powerful. It had injured Vilzel’s right eye and shoulder. If things had gone poorly, I might have been caught up in it too.

“Ehehe~ Sorry! I might have gone a bit overboard? But you see, I really love you, Kanako-chan, so I just had to amp up the support skills♡”

Without a hint of remorse, Lumiere winked at me with a smile.

“Loving me isn’t the issue here…”

“Well, well, more importantly, listen! I didn’t expect Verzel to show up so soon either. Oh no, Kanako-chan, you’re just too cute, and it’s causing quite the stir☆”

With a sparkling smile that seemed ready to take flight, Lumiere said this. I couldn’t help but let out a deep, deep sigh.

“Ha… Anyway, um… thank you for that power. It really helped me.”

“Yay! Good job, Kanako-chan♥ Now, I have a favor to ask you!”

Lumiere continued, looking up at me with both hands clasped behind her back.

“For starters, could you gradually purify the nearby forest? If you do that, the human territory will expand, the magical essence will decrease, and I think the kingdom’s power will recover!”

“Purification… you say. It sounds simple, but…”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry♪ You have my ‘super lovingly crafted support skills’! If any trouble comes, you can just blow them away again, right?”

Lumiere made a peace sign with her fingers and struck a cute pose.

…Yeah, I really wonder if this person is truly a goddess. Her energy feels more like a girls’ gathering.

I felt my shoulders relax as the tension drained away.
