Encore 10 — Goddess of Love and Fertility (II)

"Someone wanted to see me?"

After classes on Monday, I was called to the school reception.

I was perplexed as to who was coming to see me in school since visitors are only allowed here for the time span of two days, maximum, on holidays.

Question is, who would see me?

"I thought visitors weren't allowed in on school days. Especially during a school term."

I voiced my doubts to the receptionist.

"Well, we don't have the power to hold this person back. They have a lot of influence."

They?

I facepalmed.

I should've known it was my father. My father is a famous Magus and, like the female receptionist said, he has a lot of influence.

It makes sense. But why would he want to see me now of all times?

Don't tell me, he's going to ask me why I came to Interblade without his permission?!

If so, then he'll annoy me.

You know, now of all times, I wish it was my sister visiting me.

"Huh? Who's that?"

"A woman?"

"She's so beautiful..."

"Is she some sort of foreigner?"

"I never knew a woman could be so beautiful..."

A woman? Then... It's my sister?

I turned.

"She's... not my sister."

It was a beautiful woman. I felt wrong for even looking at her.

She was too glorious to be peered upon.

She was too gorgeous to be suited.

She was too elegant to be defiled.

The woman was like a goddess. Her golden hair flowed against the smooth gale. Her eyes were large and tranquil like the sun.

She wore a white suit, trousers, and turtle neck, with a black choker around her throat.

"You..."

The woman stopped, looking at me with her chin tilted upwards and her finger pointed at me.

"You're Kazuya Shiba, aren't you?"

"Y-yes..."

My first thoughts were...

"Sassy."

·———·

"That's rude. Not how you talk to a goddess, is it?"

The woman sat in front of me.

After she pulled me by the ear, she brought us to a private room with two chairs.

"A goddess?"

I repeated.

The woman sighed.

"If I'd known how ugly you are, I wouldn't have bothered coming here."

Wow. Another extremely blunt person. But, am I that ugly?

"When I asked Theodon about something interesting, he said that I should meet with Kazuya Shiba. A handsome boy with white hair and mismatched eyes."

I don't look like anything she's describing me as. But, since she mentioned Theodon, that means she's with the Gods.

Theodon was the name of a Greek God, from what I remember.

Gods.

They revealed their existence after the Grand Impact. The Gods have been watching over the humans and try their best not to interfere with the lives of humans.

Honestly, I hate Gods. I think their existence should be erased from this world. What I may be saying may be harsh and vain but... I just can't come to like omnipotent beings who do nothing to protect this world unless it's dangerous for them.

"Perhaps you've got the wrong Kazuya Shiba. Because, as you can see, my hair is black and my eyes are the same. And..."

I hesitated.

"I'm not... h-handsome, as you say."

It hurts to say it.

"It's strange though."

The woman seemed to think to herself.

"He said that Kazuya Shiba at Interblade Academy in Japan will interest me. You're just a bore."

She said.

"Who are you, anyway? You didn't introduce yourself."

She looked at me. I thought she would be angry due to my direct comment but the woman didn't seem bothered.

"Me? I'm the Goddess of Love and Fertility, Aphrodite."

The goddess introduced herself, proudly.

"Aphrodite..."

I muttered to myself.

"Well, have you heard of me? Of course, you have. I'm a famous goddess in Greek mythology."

She seemed to be flaunting. It was obvious with that big gleaming smile on her face.

"You mean that slut of a goddess who had affairs with every Olympian god?"

"Hey, hey... I wasn't having affairs with 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 male god on Olympus."

She doesn't realise that she just admitted to fucking lots of male gods.

"I mean, I also had sex with some mortals too."

"That's enough."

As a respectful and wonderful minor, I don't want to listen to the sex stories of this slut goddess.

"So, why did you want to see me? It seems like you should've left by now. A goddess visiting a single student draws a lot of attention, you know."

I didn't want to draw a lot of attention but with a goddess, such as Aphrodite, visiting me, there isn't much I can do about it.

Suddenly, Aphrodite smirked.

She jumped from her seat and approached me. Leaning over, she gently handled my chin and pointed my face at her.

The goddess licked her lips.

"Since I'm here, fucking you wouldn't be too bad. It's been a few weeks since I've had a good one."

She was sexy. Enough so that my gun stood up on edge, however...

I grabbed her hand and moved it away from my face. Aphrodite's eyes widened in shock.

"Could you stop with the Aphrodisiac Magic? I hate the sweet smell of roses, you know?"

I noticed it the moment we entered the room. If it was anyone else, they probably would've been turned into a mindless puppet of hers as she would sexually relieve herself.

Just as a God's life is eternal, so is their lust.

The woman chuckled.

"You know, you may not be my type, but you are interesting. Any other man would've been consumed by now, but you're completely fine."

Let's just not let her know that my gun is standing up straight right now.

"You may not be the Kazuya Shiba that I'm looking for but I've developed an interest in you—"

"Kazuya!"

The door opened.

As the aphrodisiac slowly left the room due to ventilation, Yuichi showed up at the door.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen him since we argued the dungeon.

"I heard you were with... a goddess..."

Yuichi loosened when he saw me holding Aphrodite's arm.

"Ah, what're you doing, you shouldn't hold a woman like that!"

He came in and took my hand off Aphrodite's arm.

"You shouldn't do that!"

Ah, he's been completely taken in by her.
