A crossover anime/manga series, starting with Kaguya's fiancé.

He no longer wanted to be someone who chose to remain indifferent because he couldn't bear the consequences.

At least within his power, he will no longer remain indifferent.

He spoke slowly, his voice calm yet firm.

"My sense of justice can perhaps be summarized in two sentences."

"When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."

"The great hero serves the country and the people."

The goddess Astraea's fingers trembled slightly.

"When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven..."

The goddess's voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself, or as if she were carefully savoring the heavy weight behind it.

"The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people..."

She repeated it again, with a hint of indescribable insight.

This was an interpretation of "justice" she had never heard before.

Unlike Ryū, it does not regard justice as an unshakable principle.

Unlike Alicia, she doesn't see justice as a passion for protecting her companions.

This is... such a grand belief.

Even in the smallest of times, one should hold fast to one's true self.

When a nation becomes powerful, it benefits all living beings.

What a magnanimous heart this is!

Astraea's face showed relief, approval, and agreement.

"Lynn, your justice shines brightly."

She spoke slowly;

“In the heart of each of my children burns a flame called ‘justice’.”

"As a deity, I never presume to unify the color of their flames, nor will I change the way they burn."

"My only hope is that you can always, always protect the light and warmth in your hearts and let it never go out."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The goddess Astraea raised her left hand.

A silver needle, shimmering with a soft white light, quietly appeared at her fingertips.

She gently pricked her right index finger with a silver needle.

A drop of bright red blood seeped out.

That was not human blood.

It had no trace of bloodiness; instead, it radiated a faint, holy glow.

Divine blood.

It dripped onto the center of Lynn's back.

The moment that drop of divine blood touched Lynn's skin, an indescribable warmth instantly spread throughout his body.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful and sacred force emerged, centered on that drop of divine blood, and the emblem of the goddess of justice's kin appeared.

...

The image shows Astraea.

18. Unable to interpret

The favor did not cause Lynn any discomfort.

It was just warm and cozy, very comfortable.

However, Lynn, lying on the bed, could not see the earth-shattering changes taking place on his back.

Centered on that drop of divine blood, the complex and mysterious "sacred script" spread rapidly, as if it were alive.

The goddess Astraea could sense that Lynn was doing this more smoothly than she had done for any other child.

This smoothness carries an indescribable harmony.

As the sacred text was finally completed and the goddess Astraea bent down to decipher its message, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Strength: I0.

Durability: I0.

Dexterity: I0.

Agility: I0.

Magic: I0.

Everyone's initial value for a favor is zero.

The magic has not awakened.

But it has two skills.

Skill [Act of Justice]

Do what is right.

Strength, endurance, and agility are enhanced.

Skill: [Born Rich]

Mental energy depletion.

Abundant, flowing, protected.

Wealth and honor manifest, attaching to a designated person, enhancing all abilities, improving recovery efficiency, and increasing resistance to negative status effects.

The caster receives no buffs and their dexterity is significantly reduced.

With 3 attached users, it can grow.

Are they growth-oriented skills?

The goddess Astraea was slightly surprised when she saw this.

Some of the usual skills and spells will change when you level up.

However, it is relatively rare for sacred texts to directly indicate that something can grow.

Suddenly, the goddess Astraea's fingertip froze on the column for development abilities.

Development Capabilities [Outer Side of Truth] ******

Unable to interpret?

how can that be!

The grace of God is the most fundamental link of grace between the gods and their people on earth.

Sacred writing is the tangible language of this connection.

As a God who bestows grace, she should be able to interpret all the messages on it.

This is the power of the gods.

The goddess Astraea even conceived the idea of ​​using her divine power to investigate.

Of course, she also couldn't bear to part with her children.

In the years that followed, she never heard of such an inexplicable situation.

Developing capabilities is the refinement of personal traits and experiences.

So, what is Lynn's "outside of truth"?

What kind of experience, what kind of trait, could give birth to an ability that is beyond comprehension?

"goddess?"

Lynn's voice pulled Astraea back from her shock.

He sensed that the goddess's fingers lingered for a little too long, so he turned his head and asked with concern.

"Is...something wrong?"

Astraea quickly composed herself, and her gentle smile returned to her face.

"No, it's nothing."

Her voice remained gentle, showing no sign of anything amiss.

"The ceremony went well, Lynn."

She gently wiped away the remaining divine blood on her back with her fingertips, completing the final step of the ritual.

"Alright, you can get up now."

She handed Lynn a sheet of paper with a rubbing and translation.

Lynn took it and examined it carefully.

There is no magic!

It seems that the mage has no chance at the moment.

The skills are good; there are two.

An act of justice!

Now is a time of darkness and turmoil, so is fighting against the dark factions all a righteous thing?

This skill has great potential now.

The next skill is "born with wealth and privilege," what's that called?

Lynn was stunned for a moment. No way?
