And this guy did not want.
Before sending Makoto to the Goddess, Tsukuyomi empowers the protagonist with magic, the power of which he learns later. But the meeting with the Goddess turned out to be not so warm: she made it clear to Makoto that he was not at all suitable for the title of Hero, who must save the people of her world from demons and spirits.
