"I donât get it... How did you even fall for her?" Goddess Ralaie asked.
Srii seemed to ignore her and stretched her hand towards me.
A handshake? Err... Ok?
I reached out my own hand and grasped hers before shaking it.
The Death goddess shuddered for some reason before she turned to look at the other goddess who was gaping at the sight of us shaking hands.
Err... Why is she looking at us like that?
Goddess Ralaie slowly turned back to me, "How?"
I blinked at her, "How what?"
"How are you... Touching her?"
I looked down at my hand that was still connected to Sriiâs, the goddess now holding my hand in between both of hers like she was trying to warm her hands.
And to be honest, her hands do feel a little cold but it wasnât an uncomfortable cold.
Itâs like the feeling of submerging your hand into a cool pail of water during a hot summer day.
"Am I not supposed to?" I asked.
Srii held my hands even tighter, "Thatâs not what she is asking, Aster."
Oh, I get it. Sheâs wondering how Iâm not affected by the death aura around Srii right?
Actually... I donât even know why that is the case? Why am I not affected by her death aura?
Srii held my hand to her chest, "Because you do not fear death, Aster. My presence intensifies the feeling of death in every existence that is within my presence. If one does not fear death... Then there is nothing to intensify."
I frowned, "That canât be right. I am afraid of dying too. Itâs not like I am fearless or some kind of daredevil that wouldnât mind dying."
"Fufu~ You do not fear that, Aster. I can see it. You do not like the idea of dying, but death itself... You are, at the very least, neutral to it."
I actually donât know whatâs the difference in that.
Like... If you were to tell me that someone way stronger than I am was coming to chop off my head and there was nothing anyone can do to stop them, I would most likely be despairing.
...
...
Actually, now that I think about it... I probably wouldnât be despairing... If I already knew that my death was inevitable... I would probably just spend the rest of the time just eating as many sweets as possible just before I die.
No way was I going to waste time on trying to stop the inevitable when I could be eating sweets! I already learned my lesson the last time with that giant truck!
Well... Obviously if I could actually stop the death, I would do so instead of eating sweets but that scenario was assuming the death was inevitable.
When I was finally done with my internal monologue, I looked up to realise Srii was looking at me like some lovesick puppy while goddess Ralaie was just staring at me like I just grew two heads.
She then very quietly asked, "Is it true then... That you also met Hiandoca?"
"Eh? Oh, yes I did."
"And she doesnât hate you?"
"Err... I donât think so?"
"She didnât even try to castrate you or turn you into a monster?"
"Err... Again, I donât think she did? Unless her sleeping with me is a sign that she hates me?"
Goddess Ralaie blinked a few times, "You... Fucked her?"
"I thought all the gods would know that by now? She doesnât strike me as someone who would keep that a secret... Also... I just want to ask if itâs ok that Ather is in Sriiâs presence for so long?"
Goddess Ralaie frowned, "Who?"
"Ather? Your Comissar?"
"There is no Ather here? Unless you are mispronouncing your own name?"
I gestured in Atherâs direction, "Iâm talking about her."
Goddess Ralaie finally turned towards Ather and looked like she just remembered there was someone there.
"Oh. You mean her. I suppose it would be better for her mental health to put her away from our presence for now..."
She snapped her fingers and Ather disappeared from view and that worried me a little.
Ralaie waved her hand at me, "Donât need to worry. I just sent her to a separate space for now. She is completely safe."
Thatâs good to hear.
"Anyway... Should I also call Hiandoca here as well?"
Before she could answer, I could already feel another presence appearing in the clearing with us.
And I didnât even need to look to know who it was because the fact that I could feel my member getting erect was already a clear enough indicator of who it was.
As if to confirm my thoughts, I felt someone jump on my back from behind and something soft squished against the back of my head.
"Aster!!! I heard you call for me! Your most lovable and dedicated sex slave is here! Are we going to bang? Please tell me weâre going to bang! That costume play sex was absolutely delicious and Iâm ready for more now!!"
Right... Letâs activate [Desensitisation] just in case...
I then turned around and surprisingly, she wasnât naked... But what she was wearing wasnât any better.
She was literally wearing underwear with cutouts that exposed her privates and a pair of black stockings with garter belt that ended in a pair of heels at her feet.
She licked her lips, "Mmmm~ Like what you see, Aster? Or do you want me to wear something even better?"
"Hiandoca?" Goddess Ralaie called out.
Hiandoca finally looked up and noticed that we werenât alone.
"Oh! Hi Ralaie! Fancy seeing you here! If you wanna fuck Aster, let me go first ok? Oh! Srii is here too! I guess a foursome it is then! But I call dibs on getting fucked first!"
"No... You... Actually slept with a mortal?"
"Hey, hey! Not just any mortal ok?! This is Aster! One night with her and I guarantee you you would be constantly thinking about that succulent, juicy meat of hers filling all your holes up! I guarantee it! Anyway, like I said, I called first dibs!"
Srii frowned at Hiandoca, "You are troubling Aster... Aster did not say she wants to do that. And she did not call you here."
"Huh? What are you talking about, Srii? Of course she called me! I heard her call my name!"
"Not as a summon. Go away."
"Oh wow! When was the last time Srii actually told someone to go away instead of coming closer to her? You really have some divine magic on you, Aster!"
Srii pouted slightly, "Aster called for me to clear up a misunderstanding. She did not ask you to appear here. You are taking advantage of Asterâs kindness."
Hiandoca waved her hand dismissively, "Oh Asterâs going to call me here anyway, right? Right? Because itâs already been so long since the last time youâve pounded me and youâre yearning for some loving from a divine, right? Well here I am! So letâs get started!"
I cleared my throat, "Wait, wait... I didnât really call you here for that... Though I would admit that I was thinking about calling you anyway..."
"Yes yes, so letâs get to banging already! Look! I even wore some easy access clothes! Go ahead and stick it in, Aster! No need for foreplay!"
"Err... Itâs more to show goddess Ralaie that I really do know you... Since she was skeptical about my claims."
Hiandoca looked up at the goddess in question, "Really? Do you even think a beauty like Aster would tell a lie? Hmm... Actually, I take that back. Beauties still lie and they lie a lot... No wait! No one is on Asterâs level so the statement is still true! So how could you?!"
Ralaie crossed her arms and glared up at the taller goddess, "Well excuse me? This is my first time meeting her and I didnât know you played favourites."
"Oh I donât, until Aster made me orgasm! How could she not be my favourite after that?"
Goddess Ralaie scoffed before turning to me, "Anyway... Seeing as youâre already calling them by their names... You might as well just call me Ralaie as well, I will allow that. It feels weird being the only one to be referred to by my position."
I scratched my cheek, "Ermm... Thank you, Ralaie..."
She nodded at me before she gave me a serious look, "Thereâs still something I want to know... Was everything you said true, Aster? You have met with multiple Gods? And even gained their favour?"
"Technically... I guess the only gods I could say I gained their favour are Hiandoca and Srii. Drebann seems to be a rather chill god so we have bantered a little but I donât know if I actually have his favour or not. Then there was also goddess Uskit whom I only met for a--"
Ralaie suddenly thundered, "You met that little bitch?! You met her before me?! What did she do?! Tell me right now!! What did that little skank do?!"
Ah... Shit... I forgot these two have a rivalry...
What do I do now?
