37 Survivors 3 | Love at first sight

"Answer me, who are you?"

Goddess Brigid screamed pointing at Tina as if she had seen a nightmarish monster.

"For a goddess who had lived for more than hundreds of millions of years, you seemed impatient."

Goddess Brigid released a portion of her Arcanum trying to pressure the mysterious entity before her.

She could feel the world's rejection getting stronger and stronger the more divine power she exerts.

Even so, she couldn't just back down before the entity before her.

"Oh ho! You're forcing yourself into me, you are one hasty goddess aren't you~"

Tina teased the goddess before her, she wasn't threatened in the slightest from the overbearing divine power the goddess before her is exerting.

--- What is she? How can she resist my divinity?

"*Sigh* never mind, I am not your enemy, and please stop that pointless internal debate you're having, I don't have any prior schemes unlike what you really think."

"And I don't really need you to trust me, I'm honestly not concerned with your thoughts whatsoever."

--- She could read my mind?

Goddess Brigid couldn't help inhaling a mouthful of air upon this realization.

"Yes, I can read your mind, you dumb old hug!"

"I am no old hug!"

Her face is as red as tomatoes, being called an old hug made her remember how old she was.

"Yeah, yeah, let's stop this pointless conversation, I have an offer for you."

"Offer, do you think I would trust you."

Goddess Brigid squint her eyes glaring at Tina.

"For your information, I don't really need your trust?"

Tina didn't truly need the goddess before her to trust her, she only needs her cooperation and that's it.

"I don't actually care what you thought about me in the first place."

Being ignored again, and again, goddess Brigid couldn't help but grit his teeth and biting his lip.

She was also curious about the entity before her, so she decided to comply for now.

"So, what exactly do you want?"

"Nothing in particular, just guide my little brother here because he's a bit of an airhead and naïve."

Tina pointed to the unconscious Kanzen being held by the frozen Sebastian and Hassan, a gentle smile replacing her previous mischievous expression.

"You mean, he's your brother."

Goddess Brigid asked back, trying to verify Tina's claim.

Tina just smiled to her question, this simple smile clarified the Goddess's curiosity.

"I didn't even trust you, how can you trust me with your little brother?"

She was dubious about the fact that the entity before her trusted her while she was cautious of her.

For her to entrust her brother to someone she just meet, the entity before her is probably very strong or just dumb.

"Nothing in particular really, you'll know the moment you interact with this boy here, but be warned he is a bit of a handful at times."

Tina replied with a mysterious smile on her face.

"And for your information, I am not as dumb as you think, for real you knew I can read your mind so stop insulting me inwardly, if you wanted to insult me do it straight to my face."

"I'm sorry!"

Being reprimanded, goddess Brigid couldn't help but apologize.

"No problem!"

Tina just waves her hand dismissing the awkwardness, accepting her apology.

--- Hey, Sebastian, what's wrong with this two.

--- Why ask me how I should know, we're in the same boat, I am just a mortal like you, this is probably how eternal beings converse.

--- So, young master Kanzen isn't really a mortal, just like what that young girl claiming to be his big sister said.

--- It seems like it, and from what I concluded, it seems like young master Kanzen standing is higher than a goddess.

--- Yeah, young master's sister is probably very strong, for her to thoroughly ignore the goddess power like that.

Tina purposely let Sebastian and Hassan's consciousness present in this time frozen moment.

She wanted a few of Kanzen's trusted subordinates to knew what he really is, she didn't really want her little brother to hide things to the people he began to trust.

She knew Kanzen deep within is an honest person who dislikes lying.

Having some of his subordinates know a vague image of his origin is enough to lessen the pressure building in his heart due to the secrets he hides.

Furthermore, Sebastian and Hassan already become Kanzen's clan members, there's no need to be cautious that they might spill the beans.

This is what Tina had thought through.

"What's the catch, surely there's a catch in this, right?"

Goddess Brigid asked in a stern tone.

"The catch, you say, Hmmn! Yeah, how could I forget, don't go falling in love in my little brother, ok?"

"Huh, why would I fall in love with a child?"

Her gaze shifted back to the unconscious Kanzen being held by the frozen Sebastian and Hassan.

--- He's certainly cute as expected of a higher existence, only a couple of gods are near his standard.

"See, that's what I am telling you, don't go falling in love with him."

Tina called out, teasing the flustered goddess before her.

"Then what if I did?"

Tina appeared before Brigid, holding her hand in a vice, this allowed her access to the goddess favorability parameter towards her little brother.

Name: Brigid

Race: Goddess

Character Favorability:

1. Love at first sight: 85%

2. Unrestrained Curiosity: 98%

3. Needed to be protected: 92%

"Are you for real, did you actually fall in love with my little brother, what a loose woman you are!"

Tina was beyond speechless by the turn of events.

"Shut up!"

The goddess hid her tomato red face in embarrassment, she couldn't look up straight to Tina.

She really did fall for the young boy she had just met, for some reason she could feel a strange connection building up between them even though they have yet to be introduced to each other.

--- *Sigh* it can't be help, my little brother is just that attracted, this because of that damn (EX) charm and (SS) charisma. Even a goddess couldn't escape his grasp.

"Uh, about your earlier question, to what if you fell in love with him, you'll probably break away from your imperfect stagnant state of existence."

"Break away, you mean!"

Goddess Brigid's thought process paused as she slowly realized what Tina had just said.

The young boy she fell in love with moments prior could be the key to breaking the curse of stagnation that every god is suffering.

"You think too much, it isn't like what you thought, didn't I told you fall in love. So male gods couldn't possibly have this chance."

"My mouth is shut unless you help me guide this boy."

"Don't we need a contract?"

"Oh ho, aren't you being hasty all of a sudden~"

Breaking out of the curse that imprisoned her for millions of years just by falling in love, how can she not hurry.

Moreover, she really did fall in love at first sight at the boy, breaking away from the curse is just the icing on the dessert.
