1100 years ago:
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Even a Demon Lord, enemy of the world, needs someone, right?'"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"I'm just asking, so you might understand what kind of power I want."
"Hmm… Nope, never heard it, but I get the gist. Everyone needs someone, huh?"
"Yes! So… the special power I want is… Can I have the ability to talk to you, the goddess, for guidance anytime?"
"Hmph… What's this? I can give you tons of overpowered abilities, and you pick something as dumb as this!? No way, pick something better, you foolish human!"
"But… I want a friend to talk to…"
"Pfft, you'll find plenty of friends to talk to down in the world… Why would you want to chat with me? Hurry up and pick an OP power before I lose my patience!"
"No! Not just any friend… It has to be you, Goddess."
"What!?"
"You look kinda lonely, don't you?"
"How cheeky! Hmph, me, lonely? Ridiculous… I have everything—power, authority, possessions. What more could I need!?"
"It's just… Your eyes look like mine when I stare in the mirror…"
"Funny! My beautiful eyes, like your ugly ones!?"
"Not ugly… Lonely eyes, just like mine."
"..."
"Yes?"
"Ugh!!! What a useless power… Fine, whatever. I'll win anyway… If you want such a pointless ability, you'll have some points left to boost something else. Here, take it…"
"Hehe, thank you so much, Goddess!"
"Hmph, and if I say something, you better listen, got it? Don't go ignoring my advice!"
"Understood!"
1099 years ago:
"Is the Goddess lonely today…? I'm not lonely at all!"
"…I don't know…"
"Hehe, anyway, I've reached the forest now. What should I do next?"
"There, go beat those monsters. It'll make your life smoother."
"Got it!"
…
......
"Sending 1000 points, direct attack to take down Server 3, targeting Hero Rank 1!"
"Melt!! You!!"
"It's a competition… I'm playing by the rules."
"But it's only the first year!! Are you trying to… Argh! No! My hero's party is heavily injured! Argh! My hero's under attack too!"
"They're not dead yet, are they? This is just a way to rack up points. You're just unlucky your hero's in the same spot as mine."
"That's cheating! Telling your hero like that? That's way too unfair!"
"Huh? What's that? I followed all the rules. I didn't spill any competition secrets or forbidden event details… My hero asked for that power, so they get the rewards. Why didn't your hero pick something like that?"
"Grr!!! Melt!!! You'll pay for this!!!"
1097 years ago:
"Goddess, I'm in your care today as always!"
"Are you going to talk to me every single day? Go make some friends in that world already!"
"…Hehe, but your voice sounded lonely yesterday. Do you really want me to find other friends and talk to you less?"
"Shut it… Hmph, you're too clever for your own good. I'm not lonely at all. Here, you got that item. On day 1000, go hit the monsters in that dungeon. Pack lots of MP potions so you can spam group skills."
"No problem!"
…
"Sending 17500 points, 5x bonus, direct attack to take down Server 5!"
"Melt!?" x10
"We're being attacked from all directions!!"
"Are you insane!? Dropping over 100,000 points on our continent while other servers are spamming random attacks!?"
"You know how bad our situation is! Why not attack other servers to cut down competitors first!?"
"Stop!! My heroes can't take this!"
"You're not planning to let us survive to year 10, are you!? Melt, piling on attacks like this with others is too much!"
"Hmph… No one's dead yet, just injured or losing followers… Can't be helped, right? In times like this, hitting your server with 17500 points, I calculate I'll get back around 26000 points while other servers won't even hit 20000. You'd do the same, wouldn't you?"
"Grr!!! Melt!!! This is going too far!"
"What did I do wrong? Tell me… It's festival season, the time to attack and reap. You all know that."
"Urk…"
"Come on, tell me! What did I do wrong!?"
"N-Nothing…"
"Then shut up and figure out how to score more points to beat me! You lot too, stop whining!"
"Grr… Just you wait…"
"You'll pay for this, Melt!"
1094 years ago:
"Have you eaten today, Goddess?"
"What are you talking about…? I don't need to eat to survive. You're the one who should eat."
"Hehe… I was just worried. Today, I made hamburgers like we had in my world, and it hit me—this world doesn't have much good food unless you're high-class… I wondered if you ever got to eat stuff like this."
"Shut it… I don't care."
"You really don't want to try? I was hoping you would…"
"…Maybe I'll try it sometime."
"When? When can you eat it?"
"Who knows…"
"If I win, can I see you again, Goddess?"
"Probably… We'd meet again, I guess."
"Then I'll cook and store delicious food in my [Item Box] every day! When we meet… Let's have a party! Just the two of us!"
"…Haha, you're so ridiculous…"
1092 years ago:
"So… What do you all think about her?"
"Hmm, that Melt? I absolutely hate her…"
"She's the worst, that one."
"Same…"
"How about we team up!? All of us!"
"What, all 10 of us?"
"We're all going to get demoted anyway! Why not go for it!?"
"Agreed! Let's knock Melt down a peg!"
"She's way too close to her human… Maybe if we focus on making Melt's human suffer…"
"Ooh, not bad. If we do that… Hehe, she'll…"
"Love deeply, hurt deeply, right? But our points are low right now… Let's wait for year 10."
"Hell yeah!!"
"Let's do it! Hit her hard in one go!"
"But will we make it? This round, the number's down to under 70 in just 7 years."
"We'll make it! Shouldn't drop below 30 by year 10."
"Right."
"Hehe, I can't wait to see her scream!"
"Haha, begging for mercy from us, huh?"
"As if that'd happen!"
"No idea… But it's worth a shot…"
"Mmm~~"
"Hehe, hahaha!" x10
