CHAPTER 38

Goddess of Wealth

After leaving Ishtar’s room, I return to Café du Cerceus and surprisingly find Seiya and Aria still talking.

What the…?! I thought Seiya would have already started training!

That isn’t the only thing that’s odd, though. Seiya is clearly in a bad mood.

“Is there really nothing that can be done? What if I practice a hundred hours a day?”

“I already told you, Seiya. It’s simply not possible, even for you.”

As Seiya falls silent, I approach them with a beaming smile.

“Hey, Seiya! There are only twenty-four hours in a day, you know!”

Seiya glances at me, then briefly sighs. I’m wondering what’s going on when Aria suddenly speaks up in his place.

“Rista, Seiya wants to train under a deity with the power to prevent curses, but that’s just not possible.”

“A deity with a power to prevent being cursed?”

Jonde then chimes in from the side.

“The Vengeful Empress Celemonic in the southern continent of Kress is known as the Walking Calamity. They say she can put powerful curses on her opponent. I have no idea what kind of curses they are, though.”

Oh. In other words, Seiya wants to prepare for Celemonic.

“But, Aria, why can’t Seiya learn from that deity?”

“There are some things that you just cannot do no matter how hard you try. For example, Seiya will never be able to use your healing magic no matter how much he trains. This isn’t about talent or effort. This is a problem of inherent characteristics, and powers to prevent curses are from the same branch as your healing magic, Rista.”

“Oh, that makes sense! That’s too bad, huh?”

It doesn’t hit me until I say it aloud:

“Wait! So couldn’t I just learn how to do it, then?!”

“Y-yes, that’s actually what I recommended to Seiya, but he doesn’t want to do that.”

Without even looking in my direction, Seiya says in disgust:

“Don’t even try. It won’t end well.”

“You don’t know that!”

“I do. I can hardly remember you ever being useful.”

“I mean…sure—I guess, but…”

Seiya turns on his heel as I stumble over my words.

“Anyway, it looks like I need to come up with a new plan.”

As Seiya speedily walks off, I yell to him:

“Oh…! Seiya! Great Goddess Ishtar said she wanted to talk to you!”

Without saying a word, he lifts a hand in the air in an annoyed manner. While he can be curt, I’m sure he’ll go talk to Ishtar, knowing his personality. A few moments go by, and Aria lets out a bitter laugh.

“Well…this is Seiya. I’m sure he’ll come up with a different way to seal a curse.”

This still doesn’t make any sense to me. All our problems would be solved if I learned that skill!

“Aria! I’m gonna do it! I’m gonna learn that move!”

“What?! But Seiya…”

“It’s for just in case Seiya isn’t able to find something else to prevent being cursed! But if Seiya ends up finding a replacement even after I learn how to seal curses, then I just won’t bother him! What do you think?”

“Well…yes, I suppose you could.”

“Right? So introduce me to
