Chapter 115 – The Goddess’ Request
I was thinking of pretending I didn’t know if she pulled it off until the end.
Because I’m not in a position that’s good enough to know all the circumstances or situations of the other person.
However, the moment the goddess involuntarily shed tears in front of my eyes, all her previous thoughts were blown away.
“Have you ever been caught by the goddess of fate?”
She says it is to save people, but as a goddess, she knows that mixing her body with a human being is a very serious sin.
To my worry-filled question, she hurriedly wiped away tears and answered.
“…Not really.”
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like the worst was going on, but I wasn’t relieved.
“Then why are you crying? Please tell me.”
“…”
A goddess who hesitates and cannot open her mouth easily.
As I stared at him, he finally moved his lips with difficulty.
“Actually, after I had a relationship with Dohyeon-nim yesterday without Jia-nim’s knowledge, my heart was really heavy. I also made Dohyeon-nim in trouble.”
“…”
“I feel like I’m really helpless…”
“It’s not that it’s incurable. It’s not.”
I was not happy with the dark expression, so I tried to comfort him and talked to him, but it didn’t seem to be very effective.
“No. I am helpless. Even though it was my fault for not controlling myself, rather than reflecting on myself, I fear that I might have earned Dohyeon-nim’s hatred.”
“…”
“It’s the result of my actions, so I should accept it, but I feel ugly for not being able to do that, and it’s really sad that I showed Do-hyun that ugly side of myself. Just thinking about Do-hyun’s hatred makes my heart break…”
Tears welled up again and flowed down his white cheeks.
Like tears that I couldn’t stop with my will, she continued to pour out her inner thoughts.
“Yesterday, I tried to endure it somehow. But seeing Dohyeon-nim and Jia-nim happy, for some reason, my heart ached. I felt like I was left alone in this world, and I became lonely and impatient, so I couldn’t stand it.”
“Goddess…”
“It’s really selfish. I’m even ashamed of the fact that I’m in the position of a goddess. I also wonder why I’m like this… Hehe, hehe…”
With her head down, her small shoulders tremble.
It looked like a small, mute animal calling for help with her body.
All I could do was to lighten her heart a little bit.
“It’s okay, so don’t cry. I don’t hate that goddess at all.”
“But… You must have been in trouble many times because of me…”
“It’s not like that on purpose. She knows very well that the goddess is a good person.”
“Still… Ugh.”
Tears that won’t stop once they start to flow.
I didn’t want it to work, so I wiped it off with my two thumbs.
“I’ll continue to help you as before. So don’t worry.”
“Dohyun-nim…”
Now just look up at me
Wrinkled eyebrows and red nose tip.
Somehow the crying stopped, but the goddess’s melancholy still remained.
Is it not enough just to reassure you with words?
I’d like to make him feel better, but I don’t know how.
In her agony, she told her still whimpering.
“Goddess, do you have time?”
“Yes? Time…?”
“I need to go outside for a while because I have something to live for. Do you want to go get some fresh air?”
I was going to order it through the app because I needed some hangers, but I’m going to go outside and stop by Dicer for a while so I can buy it cheaply.
Of course, the more I intertwined with her, the more I knew she was not good for the goddess.
Still, wouldn’t the crime be lighter than sex if you just wandered around?
It doesn’t mean anything if the opponent doesn’t do it anyway.
“Wind… Will it make you feel better if you get some air?”
“Sure. How is it? Would you like to go?”
A goddess who hesitates with round eyes.
She nodded, blushing slightly, as if she had finally made up her mind.
—
She dropped by my room with the goddess and went out to the nearby downtown area.
As it was nearing evening, people were slowly gathering.
“Do, Dohyun!”
I heard an urgent voice as I was about to take a quick look around.
When I turned to her side, the goddess’ face became serious.
“What should I do? The wind isn’t blowing…”
It seems that he accepted the words of going out to get some fresh air.
“What else am I saying? I thought it was a big deal.”
“Still, Dohyeon-nim said let’s get some fresh air to change our mood… Ah. Did you mean to blow on your own?”
I guess you can make the wind blow too.
“It didn’t mean that, I just meant to go outside and change my mind.”
“Well, that’s right. I’m sorry. I don’t live with humans, so it’s hard to use idiomatic expressions…”
“You don’t have to apologize. By the way, then you’re not used to a place like this, right?”
“Yes… It’s not the first time I’ve mixed with humans, but it’s a strange feeling. Usually all I see is through a mirror.”
While we stood and chatted, I could feel the people around me throwing their eyes once in a while.
The reason, of course, was because of the goddess’ appearance.
Even though she deliberately wore a dress that ordinary women would wear, she couldn’t hide her exotic white hair and youthful yet pretty face.
However, the goddess who did not know that fact was afraid that her true identity would be discovered.
“Shall we go somewhere first? If you have any questions, let me know.”
“All right.”
“Huh? Oppa!”
This time, a lively voice was heard.
The direction is behind us.
Before I could turn around, Ha-eun grabbed me from behind.
“Ha-eun?”
“I didn’t expect to meet you like this, but it’s amazing. Who is the person next to you? She’s so pretty! Is she a celebrity?”
“Oh, this person…”
The eyes of her Ha-eun towards her goddess shine brightly.
Should the identity of her goddess be revealed here?
To be honest, she didn’t want to lie until now because she felt sorry for hiding the fact that she had sex with a goddess.
Even so, she didn’t ask the goddess’ thoughts, and when she was worried that she couldn’t open her mouth at will, she bowed her head and said hello.
“Hello, Haeun. Nice to meet you.”
“Huh? …Huh? Could it be that she’s a goddess?!”
“That’s right. I happened to go out with Dohyeon-nim… Kyaaak!”
As Ha-eun hugged her partner, a shrill scream from a goddess she hadn’t heard before erupted.
“I didn’t expect the goddess to be this pretty! What can I do, she’s short and petite, so cute!… Ugh. Her breasts aren’t cute! Wow, she’s so soft.”
“Oh, please stop touching Ha-eun… Hehe.”
I managed to get away from Ha-eun, who was massaging the body of the goddess who was in trouble, and asked.
“What is she doing here? Didn’t she have an appointment with Minji after the lecture?”
“We were supposed to have dinner together here, but suddenly something urgent happened.
“Ah, the goddess said she was in a bad mood, so I came out to change my mood.”
“Really? Why not? Did you fight with your friend?”
“Yes? No, it’s not…”
While her goddess was about to speak, her Ha-eun hugged her again.
“It’s so cute! It fits right in your arms! Goddess, would you like to be my sister? I wished I had a younger sister like the older sisters!”
“Ha, Ha-eun’s younger brother…”
Ha-eun is visibly excited, as if she likes her goddess-like appearance so much.
As if she didn’t dislike her partner’s kind attitude even as a goddess, a peachy glow spread across her cheeks.
I was worried because I knew that her petite frame was her goddess complex, but she didn’t seem to have to.
“It’s fate that we met like this, but I’ll make you feel like a goddess!”
“Are you really…?”
“Yes! Trust me!”
It’s sudden, but it’s definitely more fun to go out with the three of us.
Both I and the Goddess followed the confident Ha-eun, and the place we arrived at was a pasta shop that the two of us often went together.
“Here! Pasta here makes me feel so good!”
“Human food… It’s not something I haven’t eaten before, but it’s been a while, so I’m nervous and excited about it.”
She honestly had some expectations.
Still, she wasn’t a goddess or a negative reaction, so she quietly went inside and sat down.
“But what do goddesses usually eat? Are they completely different from humans?”
I asked while we were talking while waiting for food, and the goddess answered.
“Unlike humans, we don’t have appetite or sleep, because we can exist without it. Of course, we can eat or fall asleep, but we don’t feel the need.”
“Then Goddess doesn’t even do naughty things?!”
A surprise question from Ha-eun full of pure curiosity.
“That, that’s…”
The bewildered goddess looks at me, trailing off her words.
She might be suspicious so she pleads with her eyes not to do that, but her eyes are still on me.
When she was forced to say anything, the waitress brought the dish she ordered like a relief pitcher.
“Oh, it’s delicious! I’m shooting, so please eat the goddess as much as!”
“I’m sorry for always receiving help and even being treated, but in this case, it would be more rude to decline. I’ll be grateful.”
As if her fork wasn’t used to it, she barely lifted her pasta and carefully put it in her mouth.
“How is it?”
“It’s delicious?! It makes me feel good, right?!”
Haeun and I asked with half expectation and half worry.
Fortunately, the head of the goddess who had been tasting it while mumbling moved her up and down.
“It’s really delicious. I can’t explain it, but like Ha-eun said, it makes me feel good.”
“Right! Am I right? Hehe. Try mine too!”
Thanks to her Ha-eun, the first meal with her goddess was lively.
Even after that, she dragged us all over the place, saying she wanted to give her various experiences, and thanks to her, she constantly wandered around, picking out her dolls and looking at matching clothes and accessories.
Then, it got completely dark outside, and she entered a nearby cafe for the last time.
While talking over coffee, a signal felt from the stomach.
She said she was going to do some business and headed to the bathroom.
I wasn’t too worried about leaving the two of them alone at the table.
If Ha-eun is there, the conversation won’t be interrupted, so you won’t be bored.
When I returned to my seat after emptying my stomach, as I expected, Ha-eun was talking excitedly.
“So the Goddess… Ah. Oppa, are you here?”
“Yeah. What are you talking about so hard?”
“It’s a secret!”
I turned my gaze from the resolute Ha-eun to the goddess, but she slowly avoided my eyes.
It seems that the two of them became close enough to make their own secrets while they were away for a while.
It wasn’t bad news, so I didn’t bother to ask and melted into the conversation that started again.
—
“Oppa, I’ll contact you when I go in! See you next time, Goddess!”
Ha-eun, who looked back several times as she walked away from us, finally disappeared from sight.
Again, only the two of them were left with the goddess, but her expression was much lighter than before.
“Are you feeling any better?”
“Yes. Maybe it’s because I had a lot of amazing experiences, but I think the weight of the negative emotions I had was reduced. It’s all thanks to you two. Thank you very much.”
Now that I am as comfortable with her as she is, she will be able to sleep on her feet today.
“Oh, Dohyeon-nim. I was talking about the conversation I had with Haeun-nim earlier.”
“Ah, that’s it? It’s okay if you don’t have to tell me.”
“Actually, I confided my concerns to Haeun.”
“Are you worried?”
“Yes… He doesn’t reveal that he is Dohyeon, but when he thinks of someone, his heart keeps trembling, and when he sees that person with others, his heart aches.”
“Ah…”
I didn’t expect to have a deep conversation until that point.
“What did Ha-eun say?”
“Ha-eun told me that I’m in love right now.”
As she pondered what to say, she placed her hands, which the goddess had gathered neatly together, over her breasts.
“I didn’t tell you, but lately I’ve been vaguely aware of it. But the fact that I, as a goddess, felt those feelings, and at the same time, towards Do-hyun, a human, I was confused. But…”
“…”
“Ha-eun clearly told me what my feelings were, and after accepting them myself, my heart was rather light.”
“Is it lighter?”
“Yes. Since I admire Dohyeon-nim, I thought it was only natural that I felt happy or sad when I saw Dohyeon-nim.”
It’s such a joy to be loved by someone.
But right now I can’t just be happy, it was rather a difficult situation.
Because I already have three lovers.
I too had felt her darling, but that did not give me a reason to accept her partner’s heart.
In the first place, she is also a special being, a goddess different from me.
“Goddess, I’m sorry. I…”
“I know what you’re going to say. Dohyeon-nim already has people he loves. I have no intention of interfering with the relationship between Dohyeon-nim and them. But…”
I waited quietly for the goddess to speak.
“There is one thing I would like to ask of you.”
“Please?”
“I won’t ask you to accept my heart. But please treat me kindly like you did until now. I won’t be greedy for more than that, so please just like now…
A goddess looking at me with her anxious face, wondering if even her own minimal wishes would be rejected.
It wasn’t hard to treat her like she is now.
Rather, it was more difficult for me to know the other person’s heart and yet be ruthless.
… Yes, as long as the current relationship is maintained.
As long as you mix your body to save people, it’ll be fine.
“Yes. I will.”
“Thank you very much. I talked a lot with Dohyun today, but the answer you gave now is the most reassuring.”
As if the words just now were true, the goddess’ expression was full of relief.
Thanks to that, I was able to smile comfortably.
“Dohyeon-nim, thank you very much for today. When the time comes, I hope to see you as peacefully as you are now.”
“Yes. Go in and rest. See you next time.”
A pure white light emanating from her body.
Before the people around me noticed it, the goddess bowed her head towards me and disappeared from her seat.
… I have to go too
I forgot to buy a hanger at Dicer, but it’s no big deal since you can order it through the app.
On a dark night, my steps headed toward my room, and that’s how today’s meeting ended.
—
World of gods.
There, too, a goddess sits on a throne in the highest position.
She was in charge of not only all the existing worlds, but also the fate of the gods, and she wrinkled her brows with a heavy heart.
The reason is none other than Elia, the goddess of peace and stability.
‘Elia…’
Unlike the other goddesses, the mild-mannered and young goddess was very curious.
Human beings are just one of the components of the world, like a crashing wave or a stone on the road, but Elia always tried to understand humans.
She also knew the goddess of fate.
She tells Elia that she has no ill intentions, that she is just being too nice.
That’s why we can’t regard human screams as the sound of waves in the sea.
It was for this reason that she could not speak bitterly of Elia for not maintaining her neutrality as her goddess.
“Haa… When will you listen to me?”
The moment I spoke to myself in frustration, another goddess came to visit.
“Mother of all our destiny. I have something to tell you.”
“Yes, child. Let me tell you.”
“I saw an imbalance in the causal rate in some small place on the periphery.”
Causality is the law that every effect must have a cause and every cause must lead to a certain effect.
It is applied to all worlds watched by goddesses, and it is an iron rule that must be followed in order for the world to be maintained.
An imbalance in the rate of causation means that an effect appeared without a cause.
It was something that should never exist in a world where all angles are interlocked like gears.
“Where is it?”
“It’s Earth.”
“…This is where Ellia is.”
The Earth is one of the smallest of countless worlds.
However, the imbalance of the causal rate is the same as human cancer cells.
Gradually, I had to get bigger and fix it before it ate all the world.
“I’ll have to go myself.”
“There’s no need to do that. Just give me permission and I’ll…”
“It’s okay. There are too many places to put my eyes on, so I haven’t been able to look around the periphery, so I’ll have to look elsewhere.”
‘I’m worried about Elia… Because that child is always stuck in the earth and never comes out. She’ll probably have to go in person.’
Unwilling to express her impatience, the goddess of fate rose from her throne.
