Chapter 279: A world of a cliché romcom
"Finally we can make a portal again"
My bonds and I then all focused on making a portal back home with Stella, but as Hecate warned us, someone is interfering, we saw the portal, it wasn't going back home, but we go in it nonetheless.
We were sick of elevators. Gods are weaker in their mortal form, but due to them being adept to world traveling, interfering with a celestial is easy for them.
We landed in this nearby forest, and due to our sensitive hearing, we can hear a human talking from far away, we then headed to that direction.
"..Please go out with me" a girl's voice requested as we got close.
The forest we are at is behind this school's courtyard and it looks to be really late in the afternoon and we stumble upon a confession scene. It was a guy and a girl dressed in school uniforms and I'll leave it up to you to describe what they look like, really plain looking.
| Wow, you're just lazy to do your job at this point |
"Was this how it went for you and my sister in law?" Stella asked
"Well sort of, I guess, she did panic a bit afterwards after I accepted her confession, her blushing face is rare but it was really cute"
"Alright, no need to show off, let's go ask them for directions" Maska got up but Jasper and I pull him back causing the bushes to rustle
"Idiot, what if this world doesn't have monsters like you, they'll be afraid" Jasper whispered "Our boss warned us of this, from the looks of it, this world is also mostly humans, and they could also be gods in disguise or something"
"Yeah, besides, you'll ruin the confession scene"
"Sure when do you want to go out?" the guy replied "I'm free this Saturday"
"What?" the girl responded
"Yeah, you want to hang out, right?"
"You idiot!" the girl yelled as she ran away
"Wait, what do you mean?" the guy asked as he ran after her
-Wow, he's dense. Fictional protagonists should learn more on how to pick up obvious signals, it's way harder in real life or at least find a girl who's straight to the point like Lia-
I then used light magic to help bend and refract light around us, blah blah blah, science details and make us not visible to the eye with Stella's help as we then step out in the open.
"Hmm strange" Stella commented "Even that janitor over there and all the people I sensed around the area, no one in this world can use mana"
-Dabria, can you see any people with abilities or something nearby? If this is a peaceful world, it's strange that a god would interfere and bring us here-
-Done that already as you were witnessing the stupid confession, this world is mostly peaceful- Dabria answered
-The guy is dense, I bet he'll have a harem built around his dense nature- Ace said
We then took a walk around the town and it's just a regular...neighborhood, no gods, no monsters or anything.
"Well at least this world is peaceful" Jasper commented "But very boring"
"We need to find the gods that are interfering with our trip to go back home" Stella said "We should split into groups again to get more ground and find those gods
"No need" A voice boomed and then descended in front of us "I'm Kalei, the god of tasks, nice to meet you"
He is a skinny god, looks to be in his 50s, light brown skin, 180 cm tall, has orange hair and red eyes.
Maska and Jasper cautiously prepared for a fight.
"Now now, put away your weapons, unlike the other gods, I'm very peaceful" Kalei chuckled "So if you want to get out of this world, you have to do my task, you have a week as deadline since I got gods trying to barge into this world and can barely hold on as we speak. I heard about Azlin and the other 2, trust me, this time, you will die"
-It's his world, so he can block other gods from coming into it, I can do it too, but I won't be able to hold on for long since most of the gods in our world are mostly young- Dabria explained
"What is our task?"
"You've seen the hopeless dense boy, have you not?" Kalei asked
-I think I know where this is heading- Diana grumbled
-Yeah, us too- Damon nodded
"Lemme guess, he has a harem of girls and despites their confession, he is too dense to realize it, you want us to make him accept to go out with one of the girls? Maybe reject them if he doesn't like them at all?"
"Well something like that, you are smart, Perseus Silver" Kalei chuckled "But more than that, he's my son, powerless and weak compared to humans of your world, but I think it's time for him to find his happiness and unlock his hidden feelings, make him confess and no longer hide his feelings"
"Wrong group for that, our group are full of people with social problems. Stella is oblivious to many things despite being old, Maska still lives with his mom and Jasper...he's kinda alright if he's not drunk, but he's no love adviser. My bonds sometimes think too much like me, so we won't be of help"
"I look forward to talk with you and Andrius more at the banquet, I was born after the last banquet, I heard it was fun, hopefully you will live long enough to see it" he then disappeared from the spot
But he left behind a paper which says 'Another god would love to meet you' and the location of where he will be next.
"Are you and our father really invited to a god's banquet?" Stella asked
"Yeah, something like that"
"What did you do to be invited?" Jasper asked "If it's killing gods, we did it too"
"Well, it's super complicated. Gia would love it since it's her dream to be a goddess, but I already got my plus one"
"Your girlfriend?"
"No, not really, but she's stronger than Stella, so I wouldn't piss her off if I were you"
"Apart from my father, no one is stronger than me" Stella responded "Unless it's a goddess...Dabria? Is that why Jake follows you?"
-I'm waiting to test out my new powers- Dabria laughed -Getting trained by Thanatos is such a rare occasion-
-Seriously, why are you so cheery all of a sudden? It's creepy-
