I Made a Game Featuring Constellations

The Next Day

I met with [Temperance] alone in a separate space.

"Constellation. About what happened yesterday—"

"Enough. Don’t say another word."

[Temperance] covered her face with both hands.

"I’d prefer it if you forgot about yesterday. I made a mistake, and I apologized for it. The Constellation of Dreams accepted my apology, and that’s the end of it… Please."

"…Understood."

I nodded at her request to let the matter drop.

She had said some unpleasant things about my Constellation, but in the end, she had humbled herself and sincerely begged for forgiveness.

There was no reason to dredge it all up again.

What was more surprising was that she wasn’t making an issue out of what had happened.

Sure, she had said some offensive things about my Constellation… but strictly speaking, she was more of a victim in all of this.

The Demon God had unilaterally used force to abduct her.

My Constellation had smacked her over the head with a toy hammer.@@novelbin@@

And I… I had lost my temper and grabbed her by the throat.

Looking at it from her perspective…

…Weren’t we the villains here?

I felt a twinge of guilt.

Just a little.

"So, you intend to look into my past? Is that it?"

"Yes, that’s correct."

With the Demon God, I had been able to hear her inner thoughts.

That allowed me to detect the presence of sin within her.
