CH. 272: Klyscha's advice

After Grayfia took her leave, Asahi distributed roles to his women.

[Aimi and Nao — Thanatos

Busujima twins — Goibnu

Rika and Chiaki — Dian Cecht]

Rika had too much experience in this line of work, so she was fine with the fairy as a supporter.

The girls headed out immediately.

"I'll check up on Ishtar and Freya."

Kaguya smirked. "Going for the goddess of beauties."

Alise stood from her seat. "Hey, Junior. Where is our role in this?"

"Nope. Their stealth skill is above you."

The free-to-play adventurers couldn't compete with filthy pay-to-winners.

Alise clenched his shoulders with a serious gaze. "Then give me something else to do."

"Uh. How about I send you back to the hidden dungeon? We haven't explored it deeply."

"I'm down."

"Take me along."

Kaguya and Ryuu volunteered as well. Asahi looked at Natsumi sticking out of the adventurers like a sore thumb.

"Master?"

"Help Alise."

Natsumi nodded her head. Obeying his orders had become a second instinct to her.

Klyscha teleported the entire Astraea Familia to the second dungeon.

"Asahi."

Asahi barely had the chance to think before Astraea threw her arms around him, wrapping him in a tight hug.

[—Astraea: Affection +3]

"Thank you for helping my children."

Eyes moist and glistening, Astraea expressed her gratitude in a soft voice. When he was negotiating with Loki, Alise had told the entire story to her goddess. Never did Astraea think Evilus would use a massive explosion on her Familia. When that didn't succeed, they summoned an irregular monster close to a level 6 adventurer in might.

Seeing the tiny bump in affection points, he smiled. She was at 99, one point from becoming his woman. He accepted her gratitude at face value, closing in his arms around her delicate body.

Astraea flinched a little at the strange warm sensation covering her body.

"I have to go."

Asahi couldn't dally too long.

Astraea's hands reluctantly unwrapped. She never knew hugging someone could be this comfortable and intoxicating.

Asahi gently held her shoulders. Astraea's heartbeat soared. She could only watch as his lips crept closer and closer.

He was going to steal her first kiss!

A wave of anxiety turned her rigid. She closed her eyes and waited… only to feel a gentle touch on her forehead.

Asahi laughed. "Got you!"

"Why did you tease me…?"

"We'll talk more when you are ready to accept my confession."

Asahi smiled and disappeared from her eyes.

Astraea lost strength in her legs and fell back on the chair. Taking a deep breath, she tried to reel in her heart drenched in myriads of emotions.

"So tense… how do I deal with his confession?"

It wasn't just her alone. Alise also had feelings for him. Even Ryuu had changed a little after today's incident. Astraea had seen the elf chasing Asahi everywhere with her eyes.

She placed a hand on her heart. Every beat resonated through her, heating her body.

'What do I do about this? I don't even know how to repay him for saving my children. Rejecting him…'

At first, she was going to reject him for Alise. Now, she couldn't find the courage to do it.

(Can't you share him with Alise though?)

A youthful voice chimed in her head, similar to the time Asahi talked with her through his telepathy.

'Who?'

(Klyscha, the Goddess of Dreams. They call me Asahi's first wife!)

'First wife?'

Astraea's mind replayed the discussion she had with Asahi during breakfast.

(Yup. I'm that goddess.)

Astraea smiled wryly. 'He didn't say you were his wife.'

(Only his chosen ones are allowed to know my existence.)

'I'm his chosen one?'

(Didn't already confess his desires for you?)

'What if I reject him now?'

Klyscha giggled. (You can't. He knows you love him. That's enough for him to keep pursuing you to the end of the world.)

Astraea was flattered. The man she came to love was determined to have her as his lover. Even if she accepted his love, what would she do about Alise? Would she be able to get her happiness or just remain as a friend of Asahi?

"Am I overthinking things?"

(Totally. Just let Alise become his mistress.)

"...Shouldn't you stop others from getting close to your husband?"

Every goddess Astraea met had a massive ego with Hera being a prime example. She did everything possible to keep her perverted husband under control. Her crazy attempts only led to Zeus running away.

(I don't care about monopolizing him as long as my love is happy.)

"The goddess of a different world is indeed different."

(It's the power of love.)

"..."

***

In a dark room, two figures could be seen on the bed. A male standing on their knees and a woman on all fours, committing the most primitive act of reproduction.

The male pallum groaned as he thrust in and out of the woman. His labored breaths sounded like he had been dragged closer to heaven in pleasure. While the woman with light pink hair balled up the blanket in her fists.

"Bastard Finn. Your dick is so tiny!"

The man's face became red. He much admired the Braver—the hero of the pallums. However, being compared in bed wounded his pride. He grabbed her buttocks and slammed his thing inside her.

The woman, Valletta, moaned. "Hah. Still nothing."

'Fuck yeah, bitch.'

The man thoroughly enjoyed dominating the wild lady. He had time working at the Pleasure Quarters. The ladies drew pleasure from dominating his small figure. Being on the other side was nice for once. He thanked Lady Ishtar for pointing this masochist woman to his direction.
