This divine favor has already far exceeded the limits that a Divine Favorer can receive, almost akin to the treatnt of a Divine Son.
Only for their own offspring, especially the most beloved ones, would gods be so attentive.
However, it had long been confird that Herbert has no trace of divine bloodline, not a descendant of any god.
Herbert is not a Divine Son.
So, what exactly is the reason that god favors him so much?
The curiosity about this question made the Cold Winter Goddess more interested in the secrets surrounding Herbert.
She is truly curious.
Very well, boy, you've successfully caught my attention once again!
But to avoid alarming the target, Uphemia didn't actively reveal herself, instead, she hid herself even more carefully and cautiously.
At least for now, she doesn't want to have a direct conflict with that enigmatic Divine Spirit.
As for whether she will step forward to compete for Herbert in the future, it depends on the developnt of events.
"In the future, Yunier should have more contact with Herbert; their relationship isn't close enough yet."
Although the Cold Winter Goddess wishes for Yunier to beco closer to Herbert, she won't manipulate her body to do anything.
"Hmm... let her continue maintaining a good relationship with that Teresa, after all, they are already good friends."
"With this kind of developnt, she will naturally have more contact with Herbert."
...
Of course, among the astounded crowd, one person is an exception.
Herbert looked at the altar in front of him and slightly curled his lips, feeling sowhat unsatisfied.
"Tsk, why does it feel not quite right?"
Logically, the raw materials for the altar should be replaced with more advanced magic materials.
For example, replacing ordinary stone with purified obsidian sared with Frost Giant's blood, or replacing the regular paint used to depict star maps with magic paint made from Giant Dragon Bone Powder…
Herbert initially thought of this—wasn't it bold?
But later, he gave up.
To put it diplomatically: Herbert is an animal protectionist and is unwilling to harm innocent lives for his own selfish desires.
Bluntly put: lack of money.
With limited ans, he had to make do with materials that were just approximately suitable.
Anyway, for this summoning, the important part was other aspects rather than these "channels" for communication with gods.
He doesn't need to use the altar to communicate with the gods.
Because the gods are already here.
He doesn't need to summon; they have already been observing him here long before—in fact, they never left.
If it weren't for the need to conceal the truth, Herbert wouldn't even need to prepare an altar and could directly have Nenasha summon the Heroic Spirit.
This "summoning" altar is rely for show, just to avoid scaring other people.
"Hmm..."
Herbert hesitated for a mont and internally asked: "I an, isn't this a bit too stingy? Should I add sothing more?"
Even he felt that this arrangent was a bit too perfunctory.
Then...
Herbert was rcilessly ridiculed by Nenasha.
"[What are you saying?]"
Nenasha responded irritably: "[That's enough, it's not an important ritual, just awakening a Heroic Spirit, why make it so complicated?]"
It's not so major affair.
Herbert pouted and grumbled inwardly: "Ah, isn't this about trying to pursue so ceremonial sense, providing you with a bit of emotional value."
What about autumn's first cup of milk tea, heartfelt little gifts on Valentine's Day, year-end summaries, or deep confessions on anniversaries…
Aren't these all for the emotional value you desire!
["I already said it's not necessary."]
In the end, Miss Harmonious God, who had never fallen into consur traps, ignored Herbert's goodwill and punched back his "moral kidnapping."
"[What emotional value? What ceremony? No idea what you're talking about.]"
She casually ridiculed: "[Besides, it's for , not for others. If I think it's okay then why not?]"
Herbert thought about it and realized there was logic in the crude words.
True.
Since the recipient of the gift said nothing, the giver doesn't need to fuss.
He lightly responded with an oh.
"Oh..."
However, even though it's logical, it's hard to feel happy when good intentions are rejected.
["…"]
Sensing Herbert's low spirits, Nenasha hesitated for a mont, rarely explaining: "[Herbert, I'm not complaining to you; it's just truly unnecessary."]
["If in the future you genuinely want to give sothing, of course, you can, and I will gladly accept it."]
If Herbert wants to give her a gift, Nenasha would certainly gladly accept it.
Having a considerate heart is good; nobody dislikes such people nor the feeling of being loved.
But this intention should be placed in needed areas.
The most important aspect of gifting is not about touching oneself but about whether the other person likes it or needs it.
Writing a 10,000-word essay for an emotional confession exhausts oneself, seemingly profound yet only deceiving the naive.
In truth, a needed gift from others can be far more satisfying than those gestures.
Catering to soone's interests is the true key in gift-giving.
Moreover, those who truly love you will never readily accept your unilateral sacrifices without burden.
