《New Resident of 5th Apartment》Chapter 7: Favor.

At that moment, Hiroki is known for his ability to bullshit through problems had nothing to say in front of the goddess. From his past experience of bootlicking, he realized, any more words will only make his current situation worse.
But not just Hiroki was feeling his life in more danger because standing beside him there are also other 13 people who entered the barrier with him sensed thing same him when they heard the titan spoke in the plural.
Including S ranked five players team sent by a Hachiman guild. Different from ordinary peoples who didn't transform into the player, all of them felt an extreme amount of magic leaking from the titan sitting in front of them.
As experienced players, they already know from the moment they took a step into this barrier, they at the mercy of this goddess. In the end, they had no choice to trust the system information.
"Come."
Following the sentence, all of them saw Airu moving her one finger towards them and they noticed they somehow teleported in front of her. Standing on top of a floating platform made of earth and grass.
At first, all of them, even more, scared as they faced the titan directly and her ability to control its space with just a flick of a finger.
"Don't be afraid, children of man, I am not angry."
Then behind the golden mask, they noticed a pair of eyes with black sclera and white irises that seemed something above fury and carnage.
"Are you really mean it? Goddess Airu ?"
A man who appeared to be a simple researcher looked up at Airu and asked anxiously. Everyone secretly nodded their head in approval when they catch the researcher's question.
Airu nodded and replied.
"Yes, it is, as Goddess I lived many years so I understood a man like him who only cares about his own life. It is one of the reasons that I decided to receive your vow, isn't that is the reason behind your visit. No ?."

"Ah!"
Hiroki exclaimed while prime minister Muramasa Kintarou carelessly let out a word.
"Just like me ?"
This time prime minister and council candidate froze on their spot under the eyes of the researcher and S ranked party, understood the reason why those two wanted to follow them.
'Oh shit!'
Both of them internally screamed as they realized both of them is in a difficult situation. If they deny it then it means they are directly going against the Goddess's word.
If they agree then it means they are selfish pricks that consider the life of someone is a thing just like Goddess said.
Two chose the latter.
"Goddess Airu you knew two of us will come ?"
"Of course and you two would be first and maybe the last one depending on the other's choice. When I first appeared, I was a bit happy to learn this world is at peace and is not controlled by a tyrant or fool but by wise and just people."
Hearing compliments from a god Kintarou and Hiroki felt they swelling with pride.
"BUT!"
But after that, her tone became extremely cold.
"In the end, it became something equal or even worse. I found corruption in every part of the thing that you call the Government it was so deeply rooted that it corrupted every new future it entered after."
" Let me warn you, children's of men the corruption is one of the few things I despise."
Everyone nodded under the soft but cold words of Goddess, but for some reason, they felt like a child being scolded by a mother not being oppressed by an all-powerful being.
"But I can't put the blame all on you as I wasn't there when you called me."
"I decided to give everyone one last chance to redeem yourself by fulfilling your vows you promised to others."

Hiroki doesn't know he should cry or be happy about he is not the only one who suddenly got a blade hanging above his neck.
*Cough*
"Goddess Airu may I say."
Kintarou wanted to explain his problem but Airu immediately cut his sentence in middle.
"I know what you wanted to say child of man. You don't have to worry about me as I know there is no authority without responsibility so from this day on I will rule over my domain. I will give you a little gift when you leave my place and remove the title."
Seeing the meeting about to the end, all five players felt relieved and got a little bit happy as knowing now all politicians in this world in deep trouble. But sadly there was one more thing.
"As for you 'players,' I will say don't go overboard since from the moment you are involved in this world it means earth law will not protect you."
"O-okay."
With a simple answer, all 14 people left the place. Outside of the barrier filled with the numerous reporters mixed in, trying to get more stories on the unknown god, it was a lot more chaotic than usual.
"Mr.Prime minister have you met the god? How it looks?"
"Mr.Hiroki did you met the god? Did negotiation succeed?"
"Could players from Hachiman guild will you tell us your experience for going inside the barrier ?"
"No, comment it is guild's secret. Now, if you excuse us, we must report to the guild head. If you want further questions, ask from the prime minister and Hiroki."
"As the current prime minister of Japan, I say our negotiation was a success. The Goddess Auri agreed to follow our demands exchange government of japan not involving with her."
"Prime minister, from what you said. You met the goddess called Airu, what is her appearance is like, and does it mean from now on a real god will walk and live among us ?"
"Yes, just as the prime minister said from now on the Goddess Airu will watch over us."
"Does that mean, from now on people can pray or even become a follower of Goddess Airu? Also what kind of god is she ?"
"She is the goddess of War, Family, and fortitude. As receiving followers or prayer that will depend on her as she is the god, not us. Also, I would like to propose the current major to build a shrine for her to show our hospitality."
"Yes, I agree Hiroki. Now if you excuse us"
Despite the Hiroki and prime minister's answer, everyone understood wherever that thing is god or not. They must get favor from it as the prime minister said it is something possessed power equal or more than the government.
