Stalker Goddess

~~ Author Note ~~

https://discord.gg/6PBf4ccNCT

This chapter is a tad bit shorter at approximately one thousand words. I wanted to get a chapter up so that I could link the Discord server. I uploaded this later than I wanted and wrote a bit less due to some personal situations and *cough* *cough* laziness.

I want to mention that any chapters that contain r-18 scenes will most likely be longer than standard chapters. I don't want to include those scenes in the minimum word count I set for myself. If there are many r-18 scenes for said chapter, I will factor it into the word count. However, those chapters will still be slightly longer than average.

The next chapter will cover the conversation that occurred at the end of chapter one. Just a little idea of what to expect next.

As always, I hope you enjoy the chapter. Feel free to join my new Discord server linked above!

Roxanne resettled her gaze on Dianthus. "I assume you have the means to prevent our deaths, but what do you want in exchange?" Roxanne maintained eye contact with him. She was sure that this man had a solution to prevent their souls from decaying. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up, or so she believed. The other two girls rekindled their hopes after noting their sister's confidence.

An amused smirk played across Dianthus' lips. "Well, you're right that I can solve this issue," he paused, letting their hope build, "is what I would like to say. Unfortunately, my capabilities are somewhat limited currently. Also, you girls have nothing that I want, so I have no reason in particular to help you."

The faces of the three girls fell. Roxanne, in particular, was upset that her conjecture was wrong. However, the girls didn't have much time to be upset as a new voice spoke out.

"My my, you certainly are quite the evil one, dear." The girls looked up to see a gorgeous woman wrap her long slender arms around Dianthus' shoulders from behind. Her soft hypnotic voice continued as she settled her head next to his. "Despite your words, you plan on helping them. There's no need to toy with their feelings. Instead, you should use that extra energy on me." She seductively licked her lips as she gazed at Dianthus' face.

Dianthus only sighed at the woman's remarks. "Semi, you should consider when and where you attempt to seduce me." His voice subtly hinted that he wasn't entirely against her seduction despite his attempt to hide it.

Instead of responding, the woman sweetly giggled at his words. During their short exchange of words, the girls had already found themselves lost. According to this woman, Dianthus was planning to help them. As for her seduction attempt towards the man, each girl had varying reactions.

Roxanne focused solely on the knowledge that Dianthus was intentionally messing with them, and she could not think of why. From her perspective, the man didn't seem like the type to sadistically enjoy another's negative emotions. She had known many people with such tendencies, mainly her family from her second life. Roxanne paid no heed to the seduction attempt as she had used such methods to control and distract men before.

Shinoa blushed at the woman's interaction. She understood that the woman was serious in her invitation to Dianthus. Shinoa liked to mess with others by being playful and flirty. She especially liked pestering one black-haired boy in particular. However, she was not used to romantic or sexual situations due to her chaotic life. In a way, she was pretty innocent.

Fremy blushed as well; however, she did not understand why. Due to her unique upbringing, she didn't have many interactions with men. When she did, it was only during fights with an assassination target. The only instance that she had interacted with a man without fighting was when she traveled with a particular red-haired individual. Fremy did not get the chance to be particularly close to him as she perished upon once again meeting a petite Brave.

Dianthus shook his head. "I suppose I should introduce her. This lady here is Semiramis. She is a goddess that governs over death. As I said before, I am not in a position to aid you. She would be the one capable of providing a solution."

The girls only showed mild surprise at her introduction as a goddess. They had already heard Dianthus claim himself as a god, so the impact was minimal. Instead, they paid more attention towards Semiramis herself. After all, this goddess is the one capable of restoring their souls.

Semiramis was a beautiful and busty woman with a great figure. She wore a dress as dark as midnight adorned with gold and red for flair. Her silky black hair was long enough to touch the ground, though dirt seemed not to stick to her luxurious strands. Her ears were pointed and peeked out past the two locks of hair that framed either side of her attractive face. Semiramis' golden eyes were alluring and drew in those that gazed upon them.

Before the girls introduced themselves as well, Semiramis spoke. "You have no need to introduce yourselves. I have been spectating since before your little snake encounter."

The girls thought that Semiramis meant she had been watching over them, but Dianthus denied their thoughts immediately. "You can think of her as my stalker."

"How could you say such a thing about me." Semiramis pouted as she wiped away a nonexistent tear.

Roxanne interrupted Semiramis' dramatics with her a question. "What is needed to acquire her assistance?"

Dianthus turned his gaze away from Semiramis and back towards the girls who showed interest in the answer. "I suppose you misinterpreted my words earlier. I suppose Semi didn't help either with her remarks."

Roxanne looked towards Semiramis, who smirked. That's when she had a sudden epiphany. Dianthus wasn't a sadistic person. Instead, it was the goddess who enjoyed toying with others.

Dianthus began to clarify his earlier statements. "When I said that I couldn't help you, I meant it. I was going to request assistance from Semi instead. Also, you girls don't have anything that I need, but that doesn't mean I would not help you. Finally, I do not have any particular reason to help you, but I intended on doing so due to a whim."

Semiramis giggled. She knew that he was lying about helping due to a whim. Even though she noticed his lie, she had no intentions of telling the girls. At least, not until they grew closer to one another. She believed the girls would undoubtedly grow into stunning beauties. Also, she had seen enough of their soul to know that they had high potential.

Semiramis was a firm believer that her dear husband was a great man. In her eyes, he deserved to be accompanied by many women. She planned on building him a harem to help him recover from his past traumas. Of course, Dianthus knew of her plans and rejected them at one point in time. Now, he no longer hesitated after talking with her previously.
