Having received Octavian's promise, Lilith left contentedly.
However, she had almost used up all the "salvage points" in her pocket.
In other words, if she fails to assist Rudy in saving the world under her jurisdiction, she's doomed.
The goddess will be downgraded from S-rank to B-rank, and from then on, she will live the life of a corporate slave in the divine realm.
B-rank goddesses are forced to continuously save the world from the invasion of the Demon King's army.
Moreover, the world selected each time is random.
If I draw another world with SSS-level difficulty, I'm completely doomed.
...
On the other side.
Rudy and Theresa returned to the room they had just been in, Olive's mansion.
Theresa looked at Rudy with a complicated expression and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Why are you sighing, Dean?
"How dare you ask? What rude things have you done to the goddess?"
Teresa trembled all over as she recalled the scene she had just witnessed.
He actually kissed the goddess?
Although it's called a contract, Goddess Lilith is the goddess of contracts and curses, so you can form a contract without using that.
"What does it matter? The goddess didn't pursue the matter."
Rudy shrugged nonchalantly, looking fearless, which only made Theresa more worried.
"Kid, you don't understand. Goddess Lilith is very stingy."
"You'll definitely get your comeuppance from her later, sob sob sob. I guess I'll be dragged down by you too, and I'll have to keep looking this petite from now on. The goddess promised me that if I solved the world's crisis, she would lift the curse on me."
Hearing this, Rudy smiled and said:
"Dean, you look adorable even like this, why do you insist on changing back?"
"Cute my foot! This pose is the source of my pain, you lolicon wouldn't understand."
"Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Now that it's done, let's think about what to do next. You should go and rest. I need to investigate the Demon King's resurgence thoroughly."
The thought of the church and temple being completely empty made Theresa instinctively feel that something was wrong.
"Alright."
Rudy nodded, then suddenly reached out and touched her hair, saying softly:
"Don't work too hard, and come back soon."
"ah!"
Theresa's cheeks flushed instantly when her head was patted.
She slapped his thieving hand away and said angrily:
"Don't touch my head! I'm the dean! You brat, do you want to test my power?"
Faced with her cute yet fierce expression, Rudy showed no fear, simply smiled slightly, and uttered a single sentence.
“While you are the dean, aren’t you also my contract partner, Theresa?”
Upon hearing this, Theresa's mouth dropped open.
"You...you knew?"
"Impossible! I clearly hid the contract!"
How did he figure it out?
Rudy seemed to read her mind and casually explained:
"I didn't notice it at first, but after making a pact with Goddess Lilith today, I realized the connection between us."
“I…Rudy…I…”
Theresa wanted to explain what Xie meant, but couldn't bring herself to say it, a conflicted expression on her face.
After all, secretly forcing someone to sign a contract with him, and then secretly hiding it... that kind of behavior...
Seeing her flustered appearance, Rudy smiled confidently and, without hesitation, opened his arms and pulled Theresa into his embrace.
"It doesn't matter."
"Being able to sign a contract with such a lovely Dean is a real win for me, so there's no need to explain. Anyway, the contract has already been signed and can't be changed, right?"
Theresa pursed her lips, feeling a warm glow inside.
Recalling the scene of him standing in front of her when the goddess released her pressure, Theresa subconsciously smiled.
No wonder he's a hero even a goddess has her eye on; he's quite a man.
but…
"How long are you going to hold me like that? You idiot Rudy."
Theresa blushed and looked at him with a cute but fierce expression.
Although he is a good person.
He's quite manly, but... ugh, a lolicon!
Theresa hates lolicon the most!
Therefore, Rudy cannot be a lolicon!
Fortunately, she has the privilege of regaining her original form one day. When that day comes, she can let him see her true appearance.
But would he still be so gentle with her then?
Faced with Theresa's disdainful look, Rudy gave an awkward smile, "Um, sorry, I couldn't help myself."
"Blame it on Theresa being too cute. Also, I'm really not a lolicon."
"Hmph, do you think I'd believe that? Let me make it clear first, I'm over several thousand years old."
"So what?"
Rudy looked at her strangely.
"It means there's a generation gap between us, so you'd better not have any strange ideas!"
Theresa's expression turned serious.
Although Rudy was quite attractive to her.
But you absolutely must not act on it, and you must not show this feeling of attraction.
Human lifespan is far too short.
Theresa didn't want to be alone in the future and suffer the pain of loss.
Therefore, over the years, she has never opened her heart to any man.
"What strange ideas could I possibly have? You're so weird, Theresa."
"Hmph, it's best if there isn't one!"
Theresa gave a haughty snort, pushed him away, and turned to disappear from the spot.
Spatial magic is so useful.
Looking in the direction she left, Rudy touched his nose.
He couldn't say he had no thoughts at all.
Besides, so what if Theresa is old?
This proves that she is legal!
No problem at all.
Despite having made a contract with the goddess Lilith to defeat the Demon King together, Rudy's daily life remained largely unchanged.
After all, the Demon King hasn't been resurrected yet.
Even if it recovers, we don't know where it will be.
So, just focus on doing your own thing.
...
night.
After taking a shower, Rudy returned to his room.
Michelle recently moved out.
She and Esther shared a room.
After all, she's a girl, so she needs some personal space.
Rudy could sense that Michelle and Esther were hiding something from him, but he didn't ask.
They will tell him when the time is right.
The trip to the temple was very rewarding.
Now I have a goddess as my support.
Furthermore, even the goddess couldn't see through the power of his demon king template.
I, the Demon King, have successfully infiltrated the ranks of the heroes and become a hero under the goddess's command!
Hehe, it's all settled!
As I was thinking about something, a dazzling magic circle suddenly lit up from above.
A figure emerged from the magic circle.
Rudy's eyes widened immediately.
"Lilith...the goddess?"
