New Reactions

"Serana, do you know what this is about?"

Sei was staring in shock at her small number of customers all crowding around one man.

She'd never seen him before, and yet there was something so eerily familiar about him that it gave her chills.

"That's Malachi, mom."

"Come again?"

" I know it's hard to believe but that's really him. Apparently he got blessed...lucky prick."

As Malachi finished taking the last picture, he looked up to see a mature woman who was slightly sweaty and staring at him like he'd grown a second head.

Always excited to see her, he weaved through the small crowd around him and came to a stop directly in front of the two women.

"Mal? Is that really you?" Sei asked as she stared up at him in utter disbelief.

She was taller than him just last night!

And now he was towering above her like a grown man!

"My hair looks that different, huh?." He joked.

The woman was still too shocked to even giggle at his attempt at humor. 

She just stared at him in disbelief as if he were going to shit a golden egg any second.

She couldn't help but remember what her daughter had told her the night before and her face became a very noticeable scarlet.

"Hey, you feeling okay? You're not overworking yourself are you?"

Malachi leaned in and attempted to press his palm against the woman's forehead to feel her temperature, only for her to release a small yelp and take several steps back.

"I-I I'm fine, no need to worry!"

"Oh, that's great...?"

'Why is she acting like this?' He wondered.

Even though it was rare, there were those that treated the blessed with fear instead of reverence.

He immediately feared the worst, and since Malachi wasn't the type of person to have lingering questions, he boldly decided to ask her flat out.

"Hey… you're not afraid of me now, are you?"

Unbeknownst to the both of them, Malachi had activated his second blessing from Bast.

His blessing of women's secrets made it so that any woman he came into contact with would be unable to lie to him if asked a question.

It gave him an aura of a calm, approachable man that could be trusted even with their deepest and darkest secrets.

"N-No of course not! I could never be afraid of you, Mal."

"You sure? 'Cause you almost jumped out of your skin a second ago."

"I-I'm sure! T-that was for a different reason..."

"Oh? What might that be?"

"You... are… incredibly handsome."

'Why did I just say that?! WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT?!'

"W-well it was great to see you, but I should get back to cooking!"

Before she could embarrass herself even further, Sei turned around and ran back to the kitchen at an impressive speed.

"…Serana?" Mal asked. 

"Yea?"

"I promise I won't make you call me dad when I marry your mom."

"I wouldn't do it even if you paid me, dickhead!"

Currently, Mal and Aisha were standing outside the headquarters of the Immortal Moon guild.

It was an extremely elaborate white and gold building with handcrafted glass windows and the emblem of a full moon with an infinity symbol carved in the middle.

Malachi could not help but give Aisha a sideways glance.

Ever since they'd met up she had this dopey, cheerful look on her face.

He wasn't sure exactly what she and Aubrey had done in their time together, but he was hoping she didn't spend the time being a creep.

The two walked into the building and headed directly past security to the elevator.

Immediately, Mal noticed that he was getting a lot of attention from the women inside.

While some were staring with lust, most were just curious about what a man could possibly be doing in a women's only guild.

As the pair came to a stop in front of a large set of double doors Malachi finally asked the burning question in his mind. "You sure nobody is going to have a problem with me being here?"

Aisha finally came out of her Aubrey induced stupor and looked at her longtime friend like he'd just asked the most outlandish question imaginable.

"You… are you stupid?"

Seeing Malachi's confused look, Aisha fought the urge to punch her friend in his stupid handsome face.

"Do you really not understand how valuable you are?"

"I understand no one has held this many blessings before, much less from different mythologies, but is that enough for them to accept me?"

Unable to listen to any more nonsense, she raised her hand to deliver Malachi a hard smack across the face when an idea sparked in her mind and she lowered it instead.

"You know what… I'll let you see for yourself instead."

Before he could ask what she meant, she pushed open the double doors and strode confidently inside.

Malachi followed closely behind her and suppressed an erection as his eyes fell on one of the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.

Sitting on a soft spacious couch drinking a cup of tea was the guild master of Immortal Moon, Luna Autumn; The one blessed by Chang'e.

She wore a loose black and red kimono that showed off her ample cleavage and delicate pale skin.

Her long silver hair fell well past her large bottom and her soft pink eyes shone like precious gems.

On her forehead was a small red tattoo that resembled a lotus flower.

"Aisha dear, how many times have I told you.. to.. knock…." As Luna's eyes landed on Malachi, the usually calm and composed woman completely lost her train of thought.

Malachi felt it when he saw her as well.

It was as if in this person, both of them would find something that they desperately needed. 

Aisha ignored her guild master's chastising and promptly made introductions.

"Luna, this is my best friend Ma-"

Malachi approached the seated woman on his own and offered her a hand shake.

"Malachi Saint."

For the first time, the woman showed a smile as dazzling as the stars in the night sky as she took his hand.

"It's very nice to meet you. Sit down let's talk."
