The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

“Really? You’ll grant three wishes? No backing out later?”

“…Yes, yes.”

“Think of it as a gift from us.”

The Star and Moon Gods’ affirmation made it seem true.

Three wishes.

Not just one, but three.

Receiving such an unexpected, but welcomed gift left me feeling dazed.

What should I wish for?

My head started to ache.

“…I guess the first thing is to bring Lulu back?”

At least one of the three wishes was certain.

After enduring months of suffering in purgatory due to the failed plan, I had to bring Lulu back.

“…Um, M-Master.”

While thinking this, Lulu, who was beside me, tugged at my arm and spoke.

“Y-You don’t have to bring me back.”

“… What nonsense–”

It wasn’t worth considering.

Refusing to be resurrected now?

That was unacceptable.

“I… can just go back with you all, right?”

“What?”

“That little one pulled me out of Purgatory.”

Thinking about it, that was true.

She was here with us now, so returning to the surface together should be enough.

“Our little one is impressive.”

“Hehe…”

“But how did you manage to rescue Lulu?”

Realizing this, I patted Glare’s head in praise and then grew curious about how she saved Lulu.

“I received a quest and moved to a very hot place! There, I followed the quest and saved Lulu, then came to where you were.”

“…Quest?”

“Yes, a Helper Quest. It was the last condition for everyone’s happy ending.”

I turned to the Moon God for an explanation, but she seemed just as puzzled, tilting her head.

So, even she didn’t know about this event in the Helper System?

Considering Glare’s true nature, which I had realized earlier, it seemed she had subconsciously intervened… Whatever the case, it was something to be grateful for.

“…Hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”

“…Wait a moment.”

Just as I was about to express my gratitude again, Glare’s eyes widened, and she stared into the air.

Had she received a quest completion notification?

I wondered if the Helper System had its own rewards.

Could the Helper System have a separate clear reward?

For a moment, I entertained the thought, but it seemed too greedy.

Just having three wishes was more than enough.

“Hmm…”

But now, thinking about what to wish for, my head started to ache again. My previously planned wishes—my resurrection and Lulu’s resurrection—were now pointless.

So, what should I wish for?

“You are the only one who can remain so calm in front of a wish-granting deity.”

While I scratched my head in contemplation, the Star God chuckled and muttered.

“That’s right. When a god offers to grant a wish, even the most righteous person would be tempted.”

“Indeed. Few can stay indifferent in the face of wealth, power, and pleasure.”

The Moon God chimed in, and the Sun God, with a rare serious expression, nodded in agreement.

“Is that so…?”

Honestly, I had no other wishes. My lifelong wish was the end of this tragedy and a peaceful, prosperous life, and defeating the source of all this had essentially fulfilled that.

“What should I wish for?”

Wishing for wealth was unnecessary since Kania and Serena’s investments ensured my bank account was continuously growing.

Power was redundant since my current position was already too high, especially with Clana poised to become the Empire’s Empress.

As for pleasure, I preferred a tranquil and peaceful life.

“Why are you worrying so much?”

“…”

Lost in thought, clutching my head, the Sun God looked at me with genuine curiosity.

“…I’m considering the conditions of the wish.”

“What conditions?”

“I am aware of the guidelines for wishing, thanks to my ancestor’s prophecy book.”

My ancestor had written that wishes that strained the Sun God were forbidden. Even a wish as simple as resurrecting another was considered too much.

Resurrecting Lulu as part of the wish was feasible only because she was transferred to Purgatory instead of dying due to becoming the Demon King.

“Since I’m not wishing for my resurrection, I need to scale it down.”

“No, no! I’m not petty! That’s a misunderstanding!”

“What?”

“The scope of this wish is nearly unlimited!”

Seeing the Sun God vehemently deny with wide eyes, I couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Why was she reacting so strongly?

But what did I just hear? Nearly unlimited wish scope?

“Perhaps your ancestor misunderstood from my event scene in Dark Tale Fantasy 1… But that was practically a simulation. And it was necessary to stabilize the scenario…”

“Didn’t my ancestor visit this world? Didn’t he make a wish then?”

“Uh, well…”

Interrupting the Sun God’s rambling, I asked a straightforward question, and she scratched her head as she continued.

“He did, but I couldn’t strain myself at the time. I had to conserve my divinity, which led to some disagreements during the adjustment process.”

“And now?”

“…Now is different. Everything is over.”

With that, the Sun God smiled gently and patted my head.

“With the source of all this gone, there’s no need for me to cling to my divinity.”

“Does that mean…” 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

“I will use all my divinity to grant your wish. Whatever you want, just say it.”

Looking at her with a slightly dazed expression, I turned to the Moon and Star Gods, who also seemed relieved.

“…Does this mean you two as well?”

“It’s about time we retired.”

“Living in lethargy for so long, the thrill is gone. I’m ready to retire and drink my day away.”

Rather than looking relieved, they appeared exhausted.

- Thump, thump…

Seeing them joke, I couldn’t help but smile, though my heart was pounding.

“Really, any wish…?”

If it was a wish that didn’t have to adhere to the prophecy book’s guidelines but was limited by their remaining divinity, there was one wish I’ve always wanted.

When I was a child, I would always clasp my hands together and wish fervently while lying in bed.

But it was a wish that seemed impossible, only imagined in my dreams.

It was my only selfish wish, my last bucket list item that seemed unattainable in life.

- Thump, thump, thump…

Realizing I could truly make it come true, my body tensed, and my heart started to race.

“Frey…?”

“Are you okay?”

The heroines, noticing my stuppor, approached with concern.

“…Phew.”

I didn’t want to worry them further, but given the situation, I had no choice. Hearing their voices, I felt somewhat calmer. Alright, it’s time to make my wish…

“Ugh, ugh…”

Just as I exhaled deeply and was about to speak my wish, I heard a pained voice from below.

“It hurts…”

“…?”

“My whole body… hurts…”

The Eye, turned human, was melting like slime.

“What’s happening to her?”

“Hmm…”

The Star God, stroking her chin and looking down at her responded calmly.

“She lost her power, so her body can’t sustain itself and is disintegrating.”

“Is that so?”

“In a few minutes, she’ll completely disappear.”

“Hmm…”

I made a troubled expression as I watched the melting figure. Suddenly, she looked at me and smirked.

“…Why are you smiling?”

“She’ll die before fully becoming human. Since she’s neither human nor god, she’ll simply vanish. Maybe she thinks that’s better than being humiliated.”

“Aha.”

It seems I’ve found where to use my first wish.

“…Uh?”

The melting Eye, who was smirking at me, slowly opened her eyes with a sense of foreboding.

“…?”

She looked around, bewildered.

“Why… Why am I still alive…!?”

She muttered in a voice full of disbelief, then touched her body, shocked at her clear voice.

“…Why.”

She muttered in a hollow voice.

“Why is this happening…”

Her body, which had been melting, now had pure white skin. She had become completely human.

“I thought I could die before becoming human…”

Shocked at becoming the human she so despised, she muttered in a daze.

“How–”

“I used a wish.”

“…!”

She looked up, eyes wide, as she heard my voice.

“I got three wishes. I decided to invest one in your suffering.”

“Frey…!”

She shouted angrily, trying to stand, but her legs gave out, and she collapsed.

“You’re no longer a god or a divine being. You’re a completely human, and quite a fragile one at that.”

“Ugh…”

“The one beside me helped with that.”

Beside me stood the Sun God, now with white hair instead of gold.

“You… Bitch… How dare you…”

- Slap!!

“…Heuk.”

The Eye, glaring at the Sun God, was slapped hard enough to turn her head, unable to even scream.

“Do you know how it feels to be dragged?”

“…What?”

“I watched countless times as the beings I created suffered…”

“Khk.”

Slapped again, the Eye trembled, blood trickling from her lips.

“Now it’s your turn to suffer.”

The Sun God whispered and then stepped back.

“…So, what will you do now?”

Holding her swollen cheek, the Eye asked Frey in a defeated voice.

“Will you make me a slave?”

“…”

“Torture me?”

When Frey remained silent, she continued angrily.

“Do as you wish. Do whatever you want.”

“…”

“And resurrecting me as a woman, you have quite the twisted taste–”

That was her last word.

- Swish…!

“You talk too much.”

Frey, staring at her, drew his sword and decapitated her in one swift motion.

- Thud…

Her head rolled on the ground, her face frozen in shock. Frey calmly wiped the blood from his sword.

- Crackle…

The sword’s blade glowed with a familiar blue light, a spell that greatly slowed the victim’s perception of time.

“There is a hell prepared for beings like you. I don’t need to waste my energy on you.”

Frey, looking at her severed head with a disgusted expression.

“You enjoyed yourself up until now, yet you tried to escape at the last moment. How pathetic.”

He sheathed his sword slowly.

“Become the being you so despised and suffer for eternity.”

It was a pitiful and wretched end for a being that once threatened the entire dimension.

“L-Lunar, look at me! My hair has turned white!”

The Sun God, now human, approached Lunar with a tearful face.

“…Yes, it has.”

“It’s the same hair I had when I was human… I really am human now…”

“Uh-huh.”

Lunar’s response was indifferent.

“…Lunar, is something wrong?”

The Sun God noticed the oddness and asked cautiously, but Lunar remained silent.

“Hey, little one.”

“Yes, Hero?”

Meanwhile, Glare, staring into space, turned at Frey’s question.

“Do you remember the location of the purgatory?”

“Ah… Yes! I always record the coordinates of new places!”

“…Good. We can visit and bully her whenever we want.”

Frey smiled and turned to approach Solar and Lunar.

“But, Hero!”

“Huh?”

Glare called out to him.

“I have something to show you!”

“…?”

Glare, with a serious expression, began to expand the system window floating in front of her.
