"Make your choice quickly!" urged the Fantasy Goddess.
Sharp Sword stared at the Fantasy Goddess and slowly uttered three words—
"I refuse!"
He said it easily, without a trace of regret in his expression.
"Hmm? Why refuse me? Are you worried I might deceive you? Rest assured, this is absolutely not a scam. The benefits might seem too good to be true, but I swear on my honor, this isn't a dream; this is a very real advantage!" the Fantasy Goddess said sincerely.
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I don't doubt the authenticity of the benefits!" Sharp Sword quickly shook his head and shrugged. "I just simply think that the benefits you're offering are too little for my liking!"
"Not enough?!" The Fantasy Goddess frowned, seemingly surprised by Sharp Sword's bluntness. "You have quite the nerve. Aren't you afraid that the Sword Emperor might agree before you? When that happens, you'll have no way out!"
