Chapter 223: The Shikigami's Job

The reason why Tina remembered Haruto’s initials —

Something like this happened.

----

“After the Guardian Hero returned to his former world —

“Ugh, the Goddess of Memory is so hard on her people, right.”

“We’re shikigami, so it should be hard on her shikigami, right?”

“Yup, well, you have a point, but…”

Two shikigami came to the castle of the Demon King.

“Anyway, let’s just hurry up and finish the job right away so we can go home!”

“— Even if you say that, won’t it take a lot of time just to erase the name “Haruto” from the entire world, right?”

These girls were the shikigami serving the Goddess of Memory.

Haruto entered into a contract with the goddess. Because of that she allowed him some time to bid Tina farewell.

In return, they agreed that all the memories related to Haruto’s name would be wiped out from the people living in this world.

All the energy generated from the goodwill and grateful emotions held by the people of this world towards Haruto after being saved by him would then turn into piety, which would then be sent to the Goddess of Memory for her sustenance.

“Yup. Even if the spirits help us, there’s just way too many names to erase….”

Currently, the Goddess of Memories’ shikigami, aided by the spirits worldwide, are erasing Haruto’s name from the people’s memories, written records, documents, carvings and other things.

“Haruto’s popular, after all.”

“Yup. But then, thanks to this job, the amount of piety that will enter Goddess-sama’s place will be super huge, right?”

“Yeah. If that happens, maybe our bodies will also get an Upgrade!”

“Wow, that’ll be nice. If that happens, we can request our chests to become bigger!!”

“Eh, look at that!”

The two shikigami had drawn closer to a woman that had fallen on the throne located at the innermost part of the Demon King’s castle.

“Is she alive?”

“Yup, she’s alive. I mean, she just fainted from when Goddess-sama erased all her memories related to Haruto’s name.”

The girl lying below them was no other than Tina Harivell.

She traveled together with Haruto, the Guardian Hero, and she was also one of the heroes alongside the Hero Takato who defeated the Demon King Velt.

Haruto and Takato left her in this place when they returned to their previous world.

“So we don’t have to erase her memories, right?”

“Yup. It’ll be bad if somebody deeply connected to Haruto still remembers, so her memories must be wiped off completely. Goddess-sama already did it. Our job is to check the things Tina has and erase Haruto’s name on them.”

“Got~cha!! Well then —”

“Let’s strip her!!” (both)

The two shikigamis then took fainted Tina’s clothes off her.

Of course, it was a necessary thing that they needed to do to check all of Tina’s belongings and confirm that Haruto’s name had been erased completely.

“T-This is —”

“No, wait, they’re already HUGE even when clad with clothes, but this —”

“MELONS!!!” (both)

The two shikigami girls ogled at Tina’s naked upper half.

“Hey, do you think...it’s okay to fondle it?”

“Even if you fondle Tina’s melons, yours won’t grow bigger, you know.”

“Shuddap!”

“Ack, that’s so sly!!”

“Wait...this… isn’t this too crazy?”

“Y-yup. They really feel so heavenly.”

“Haruto’s so unfair, enjoying these melons as he pleases.”

“...Haruto, huh. Actually, he wanted to do the deed with her after they defeated the Demon King, apparently. That’s why he never did all of th~is stuff we’re doing now.”

“Eh, that’s so stupid! But then, look at these super huge boobies, plus she’s a beauty that’s submissive to him. Just how the heck did he endure it?”

“Well, he thought that he would probably just let the world go to hell, no longer caring about anything once he did it with Tina, so he was desperately trying to bear with it.”

“Ooh, I get where he’s coming from. Just fondling this makes me think that the world has just arbitrarily became very peaceful.”

“Huge boobies will save the world!”

“...So that’s how it is? A flat-chested gal like me won’t be able to save the world, is that it?”

“Ah, so, sorry. That’s not what I me—”

“It’s a lot more painful when you apologize so honestly, you know.”

“.............”

“Hey, wait a sec. Stop making that face like ‘I'm annoying’, will you?”

“Ah, sorry. You’re annoying.”

“You’re too frank!!”

“Yes, yes, time to go back to work—”

Afterward, the two shikigami checked whether Tina’s belongings and the things Haruto left behind bore his name.

──＊＊＊＊──

“I roughly went through them, but I didn’t find anything noteworthy.”

“Yup. The only thing I’m bothered about is this bracelet, I guess?”

The leather bracelet Tina was wearing on her dominant hand had the letters [H&T] stamped on them.

It was the letters from Haruto’s original world.

“These letters aren’t from this world, right?”

“Yup. They’re probably scripts from Haruto’s world. I sometimes see Isekai people using it.”

“Should we erase it for good measure?”

“Hm~ I’m not sure whether it symbolizes Haruto’s name or not. Well, it’s not good to erase something that’s unrelated…”

“Then just leave it as is?”

“Yup, let’s do that!”

It was quite troublesome erasing names from objects. Thus, the two shikigami didn’t want to do it as much as possible.

Moreover, the Goddess of Memory’s instruction was to “erase Haruto’s name from Tina’s belongings.”

Because the two shikigami didn’t want to bother, and they didn’t realize that [H&T] stood for Haruto and Tina’s initials, they decided to just leave the bracelet as it was.

This bracelet was the first present that Haruto gifted Tina.

She wore it all the time.

It was an item that she was very attached to.
