What spread before me was a familiar scenery I’d once seen before.
“How are you feeling, boy?”
There isn’t anyone but that woman (Altesia) who would call me that.
“As of now, the worst, actually.”
I need to keep up an abusive tone when dealing with this one.
“You’ve gotten quite handsome, haven’t you?”
Sarcasm?
The goddess of the underworld who narrowed her eyes was being patient.
“And? Are things going well?”
What things?
“That conquest and domination of yours.”
You are making progress, right? Or so her smile seemed to say.
On top of the goddess’ seductive charm, she also released a contrasting innocent charm. In response, I activated <<Insurgent Will>>
“Yeah, it’s going well.”
As usual, the goddess had snakes serving her by her feet. She also wore the same pure white toga over her body. And even the demonic statues lined up in the surroundings were exactly as they werebefore. If this place really is the underworld, well… I have to say it's a lot easier to go in and out than I thought.
The goddess who sat in her throne, emanated a dignified and coercing aura befitting that of the ruler of the underworld.
Was she satisfied with my answer? Or was she not?
Her two golden eyes narrowed themselves into a slit like a snake’s. While her white porcelain skin was as usual, beautiful beyond perfection as if a sculptor had, to his soul’s exhaustion, carved her body. And she folded her hands together, resting her perfectly sculpted chin over it as she stared at me.
“Hmm~ Then I guess that means it wasn’t a bad idea to go easy on you after all.”
Go easy?
“What are you talking about?”
As if satisfied with herself, the goddess of the underworld (Altesia)’s face twisted into a smile just like a little girl who’s enjoying herself in her own deviltry.
“I’m talking about the divine protection. The interference has gotten weaker recently, right?”
So she was talking about the goddess of healing (Zenobia).
“So you say, yet your mood remains foul.”
I purposely provoked her. If she were to keep up this façade of hers as a seductive goddess, I’ll eventually fall prey to her charms.
Talking will be easier on me when she’s mad.
“You really are smart. You purposely choose to provoke me to weaken the effect of the charm you receive from the divine protection, but unfortunately, I have no intention of falling for that anymore.”
Seeing her smile like that, I can't help but think she finds this haggling amusing. But contrast to her, her happy demeanor’s no different from binding me in chains.
“What are you scheming?”
Gradually, I’ve began to breathe harder. But even then, I continued to resist against that as I kept my temper in check.
“Nothing in particular… as of now," she chuckled. "Just that, it’s been a while, so I kind of wanted to talk to you.”
Don’t lie!
“Oh dear. How vexing. I was telling the truth too.”
She looked at me with the complacency of a mother looking down her child, no, I suppose this is more the strong looking down the weak instead. The high-pitched laughter of the goddess of the underworld (Altesia) resounded within the piths of my mind.
“Also, it seems you’ve taken good care of it. That thing I gave you.”
*Thump
Suddenly, the coiled black-flame snake on my right arm pulsated in response to its master’s voice.
“Even Pitch Black (Verid) seems to have taken a liking to you. Looks like I was right in lending him to you.
Pitch Black (Verid)… is that the name of the snake coiled in my arm?
“Yep. A cute Hell Snake (Altea) I gave birth to. I suppose you could refer to him as your elder brother for the time being.”
Stop joking. I don’t recall you giving birth to me.
“Ha ha ha… Well it’d be great if you could recall that sort of stuff.”
While we were talking, it suddenly occurred to me. I’m not feeling the same pressure I felt when we met last time. Why?
She couldn’t possibly seriously just want to talk to me, could she?
“Come to think of it, I still haven’t heard the reason why you fight. Is Zenobia’s daughter (Reshia) the reason why you picked up your sword?”
Now what?
“Don’t make me laugh. Didn’t I tell you? There is only one reason I fight, and that’s for conquest and domination!”
“…Then you wouldn’t mind if you lost that girl, right? No tears, no sorrow, yes?”
Her gaze was sharp, piercing through me into my very core.
“…Of course.”
C-Could it be? Did I not make it in time? Have the orc overrun everything already, and set it all on fire?
Keeping up a front, I tried to act tough, but in the end, I couldn’t fool myself of my own feelings.
I am, after all, horrible at lying.
“Ahahaha, calm down, calm down. Zenobia’s daughter (Reshia), as of now, is still safe.”
When those words entered my ears, I couldn’t help but feel relieved. Annoyed, I grit my teeth.
To think I would actually unconditionally believe the underworld goddesses’ (Altesia’s) words on my own!
The more I want to believe her, the more she’ll lead me astray.
That fact tugged at my heartstrings, pulling both shock and anger.
“It’s up to you whether to believe it or not. But… danger is approaching.”
Declared the goddess with an expressionless face.
“The goddess of destiny (Liuryuna) has already found someone to her liking. Do you know what this means?”
Liuryuna, the third daughter who manipulates destiny, and guides heroes to fight against the forces of the underworld.
“You mean to say a hero has been born?”
The goddess smiled.
