Chat with a Goddess (Volume 5)
“Makoto! It’s awful!” Noah exclaimed.
“What is?”
I was in Noah’s space in my dreams. My physical body was currently fast asleep on Fujiyan’s airship, traveling back to Roses from Cameron.
“We’re only on volume five! If we keep up at this rate, we’ll run out of topics!”
“Do you think the fourth wall can stand up to that kind of abuse...?” Discussing this didn’t strike me as the best idea.
“That’s why I’ve invited a guest this time! Eir, come on down!”
“Hiii!” gushed Eir. “Call my name, and I shall appear! I, guardian goddess of Roses, the lovely Eir!” She popped out of nowhere, flashing a sideways peace sign.
For goddesses, these two are way too easygoing...
“Now, let’s chat!” Noah cried, raising a finger to the air.
“Yayyy!” Eir cheered, adding a smattering of applause.
What’s with this skit? Something was bothering me more than the sketch, though.
“Um... Don’t you two get along a little too well...? Especially for being a Titanea and a Sacred Deity?” After all, the legends said that these two races of gods had fought a war against one another.
The two of them stared at me blankly.
“Oh, right, Titanomachia...” Noah said suddenly. “I mean, it was fifteen million years ago...”
“It was our parents that actually waged the war,” explained Eir. “Our generation was uninvolved... I think maybe Althena and Noah are the only ones who are old enough.”
“I was only there right at the end, so we practically never fought.”
“Huh... Hang on. Noah’s the older one of you two?” I asked.
I’d sorta seen Eir as the “older sister” in their relationship.
“You shouldn’t ask a woman her age, Makoto. You lose points for that.” chided Noah.
“I’m about ten thousand years younger, Mako.”
“Oh, trying to play the young angle? That’s irresponsible rounding!”
R-Rounding...? The goddesses really are beyond human comprehension.
We spent the next little while talking about “the old days.” I’d read about these historical events, but the details sounded a bit different coming from people who’d actually been involved. Still...the goddess I followed had lost in the war. That much was a fact. Therefore, I knew what I had to do...
“So, once I’ve broken you out of the Seafloor Temple, I need to start a divine war to reinstate the Titanea, right?” I asked.
Both of their faces immediately turned deadly serious.
Uh...?
“Makoto...”
“Mako...”
They were both speaking in unison. It was honestly kinda scary.
“Y-Yeah?” I stammered.
“The first thing’s all you need to do.”
“You shouldn’t talk about starting a divine war, even as a joke.”
I could only nod. Uh...why shouldn’t I, though?
“You just shouldn’t!”
“It’s beyond the scope of humans!”
I just sighed, defeated. Still, I was the one who decided on my own goals.
“I’m telling you no!” Noah yelled, bracing me in an arm lock.
Oh... She’s nice and soft...
Still in that dreamy state of mind, I woke up.
