Goddess of Life, Tet .
The only Goddess who maintains just one labyrinth of her own .
The reason was due to her workload .
Because she has to devote her time to keep reading the book that appears and fades away .
It was a job that has no end in sight .
Due to that reason, she rarely spends any time for the Labyrinth Clear bonus or for the management of the labyrinth .
As a result, due to a certain incident that makes it impossible to not have a labyrinth at all, she maintains just one labyrinth in the safest place .

In her world, a single visitor came to visit .
“ … Minerve, you’re here . ”
Tet said softly after detecting the presence of the visitor .
“Yes, I came to report that the task is complete . ”
Although Minerva always wanted to die, she did not mention her desire to die in front of her .
In fact, her words were extremely polite .
To Minerva, Tet could be said to be a higher existence .
Originally, among the six goddesses, while there were relations of senior and junior, there was definitely never anything such as superior and subordinate positions .
But it was present between these two .
Due to a reason only the two of them knew, Minerva would never betray Tet .

“ … Your report is late . ”
“I am sorry . ”
It was not possible to use Mind Reading between Goddesses but they could still predict each other’s thoughts .
“ … Sorry, did Koshmar scold you?”
“No, Librchan did . ”
“ … Ah, sorry . ”
Tet apologized .
Minerva was scolded by Libra because of the task Tet requested of Minerva .
Which was to pass the Nectar she possessed to the young man called Ichinojo .
Normally, it was forbidden for Goddesses to pass tools to humans outside the Labyrinth Clear bonus .
There was once Tet asked Torerul to pass Homunculus nucleus to Ichinojo as well but that time Torerul’s actions were within a loophole of the rules ─ ─ in other words, she claimed using sophism that she was only lending it to him and ran away but Minerva could not do something like that .
“But it was a necessity, right?”
“I don’t know … but that was written in the memo left behind by Metias . ”
Metias . The Goddess of Future and Knowledge .
And the Goddess of Fate .
The name of the missing seventh Goddess ─ ─ no, the first Goddess .
The tasks which she left behind, assigned to the Goddesses in order to protect the world .
One of those tasks was to deliver Nectar to Ichinojo .
“Erm, Tet-sama . Won’t we accomplish the tasks quicker if we receive everyone’s cooperation?”
“ … No … until we find out the reason for Metias’ disappearance, we must not rely on others . ”
Tet said . Even if the other party were to be Goddesses ─ ─ no, precisely because Mind Reading doesn’t work on them, it is not possible to trust the other Goddesses .
“ … I will do my best even if I have to do it alone . ”
“Erm, Tet-sama . What about me?”
“ … I will do my best even if I have to do it alone . ”
Tet emphasized as though to renew her resolve before quietly returning to her book .
In order for the day that must come to never come .
