Chapter 598 – Three Way Meeting (3)
***
“Welcome to. I was waiting.”
When we went to the headquarters of the Satis Church, the religious leader himself greeted us.
It’s still dawn. He didn’t even seem displeased with his guest’s visit as he greeted us, who arrived 3-4 hours earlier than the appointment, thinking what to do if we’re late.
I bowed briefly.
“See you again. It came as promised.”
“I heard the news. Who is next to you?”
“They are wives.”
I pointed and introduced Veronica and Dana.
Originally, I was going to compromise on one Veronica and how many Valkyries, but this morning I changed my mind because I had a premonition that it would be crazy to bring Odin’s privates in front of a goddess who hates the god of death.
Thanks to that, I had a hard time stopping the wives who said they would follow me.
—Veronica and I will watch over you.
It was the parties, Veronica and Dana, who went together through the family meeting.
—You need someone to hold your reins to keep you from leaking, right? And among us, I’m the one who fucks you up the most. So logically, I should go.
—Doesn’t seeing your husband as a dick also mean that you love him in some way? Just as I love Nunna even if I don’t have a little breast, it means that I will continue to love even if I only have a little bit of a dick.
—If you fall behind, I’ll get you out of hell, motherfucker. Cry, go to hell!
─This is not a crazy bitch.
It was a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Let’s say it’s fortunate that I was able to come in time.
“Can I ask you a question?”
I followed the leader and asked him. Then, he walks in front and just looks back while adjusting his stride.
《Did you expect this to happen when I asked you to meet the Hunt God?》
“I would be lying if I said I didn’t. However, we also do not receive oracles from the goddess. That is no different from the priests of other religions.”
The priest said, illuminating the darkness of dawn with the light of mana.
《It’s just that, like me and Optum, only a few followers get the honor of feeling the presence of the Hunt God up close. Not having to doubt the absence of God in this world is a great blessing.”
《Do other believers also perform this kind of ritual when they have accomplished their task?》
“No. Received the blessings of the believers and left as if asleep. Oftum was originally going to do the same, but this time I complied with his request. You deserve some consideration.”
So, does that mean that Oftum has been lonely on its way because of us? It was a story that seemed to be stabbed by conscience.
“Oh, you’re here!”
I suddenly closed my lips with the feeling of a stomach ache, but the Optum was waving its hands brightly and saying goodbye.
What the fuck, was it me holding the prize today?
《Uh ha ha! Why is your expression so gloomy! Isn’t it because letting go with tears in your eyes is the way to regret it later! You should laugh!”
Oftum was wearing a plain white garment, somehow like a shroud. No, because the seat is the seat, it may be a shroud, but he did not match his bright face.
As if he noticed my thoughts, he moved his clothes.
“Oh, this? It’s kind of like that too, isn’t it? It’s the first place to get to know the god I’ve been serving, so I’d like to see if I could wear nice clothes.”
He grinned, showing off his shiny skin, as if he had applied something like scented oil. I was impressed by the teacher who shook his head next to him as if he couldn’t stop it.
We couldn’t have been dying while he was laughing like that. I nodded and smiled.
“I have come to tell you not to be lonely on the way.”
《Hehe. Even if I didn’t come, I wasn’t bored because the believers wrote me a lot of letters. Go see I spread a lot of flowers, so if anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m a priest.”
As he said, under the statue of the Goddess Satis, there were a lot of flowers that were not suitable for the desert.
Sting… !
I walked into the plaza with a wry smile, and I paused while walking at a sense of incongruity that momentarily struck me. It was the same for our wives.
Dana rubbed her forearm with goosebumps.
“What, what? That now? Her spine trembled.”
“… Dana. Pay attention to your words and actions.”
Veronica seemed to have recognized the tingling sensation, and she walked with her head bowed deep like someone watching the tiles in a plaza.
“It’s already the goddess’ palace.”
We walked in front of the statue of the Goddess, following the leader and Optum.
It was definitely a street I had walked the other day, but there was no sign that the buzz in my heart that I hadn’t felt even in the Pharaoh’s palace had subsided. I could feel that my hands were slightly sweaty.
It probably wasn’t just a time difference.
“Everyone, wait for your time.”
Unlike usual, the priest whispered solemnly.
《According to the scriptures handed down only to the headmaster, if the Goddess of Hunting deems it worthwhile, the oracle will be granted. Just please don’t lose her pious attitude.”
If you’re not sure, it’s probably right to do what the experts tell you to do. We did as the Reverend ordered, and Op Toom smiled at us and laid down in her flowery coffin.
While the priest’s congratulatory message continued, I respectfully put my hands together, remembering the time I went to her relative’s funeral. It was a courtesy to Optum rather than an homage to an unknown goddess.
“Aw, ugh… ?”
But that was then. Dana, who was standing next to me, grabbed her chest and frowned slightly.
Is this sister suddenly like that? Where are you sick? As a husband, it was natural for me to be concerned about my wife’s unusual reaction, so I raised my head.
“… Dana, where are you sick?”
… Shaking my head.
When I asked after pondering what would be better, telepathy using mana or whispering in her ear, she shook her head as she made her impression.
It was definitely far from the expression on his face when he was in pain. Dana whispered quietly.
“Somehow I feel a little… Kuh… “
It didn’t seem like a physical problem.
Could it be the influence of the spiritual power that was strengthened by the power of an unknown goddess in the past?
“Oh, oh oh oh!”
It was time to comfort Dana by stroking Dana’s back out of concern for me. After memorizing the congratulatory message, the priest suddenly knelt down and bowed to her as if throwing himself.
《The Hunt God is coming!!》
Such a cry resounded, and the air changed as if the plaza where the goddess statue was placed, which had previously felt like a separate space, had become a completely different world.
And at that moment, the difference in perception between me and the people in the other world was revealed.
While others instinctively lowered her head, I rather raised her head when I heard that the goddess was descending.
Waving…
An aurora that was not suitable for the desert spread behind the statue’s head, and the goddess statue began to come alive as if the seven lights had poured out.
Her hair, which fluttered like her real one, became like her real hair and settled down, even though its perfection was overshadowed. The large statue of the goddess was to become her temporary body.
The statue of the goddess, said to be imbued with the power of the goddess, became a beauty greater than Veronica’s teacher, Adelaide, whom she had once seen.
─A flash.
And all of a sudden, I, who was staring at her with my head up stupidly alone, made eye contact with me.
The mana-bending eyes moved toward me. I was already opening Odin’s eyes when I noticed that the person covered in cold water shivered.
It’s a story that can be found commonly in any myth, such as being blinded by looking directly at the face of a god.
─These are familiar eyes.
Sickness, sucked
As soon as I heard the chanting of Satis, I quickly lowered my head. What could a goddess be used to by looking at the color of my eyes? I’m just going to stick with Granzel from the start.
The statue of the goddess stepped on her. She moved with a mass the size of mine and made no footsteps like a ghost, but if she was a goddess of the hunt, she deserved it.
“Whoa, whoa… “
Dana caught her breath. I tried to bear it in as much as possible, but it seemed that the abnormality in my body that I had been feeling earlier became more intense at the time Satis possessed the statue of the Goddess.
Satis wasn’t intentionally pressuring. She was a goddess and had no great interest in other people. She wasn’t even paying attention.
This wouldn’t be all bad. Whether a priest or a nun, the ability to commune with God is important. Didn’t the nameless goddess who was kind to Dana say the same?
Maybe she didn’t know that this experience would have a positive effect on Dana.
But that didn’t mean she would leave Dana sweating. It was probably a problem that could be solved if I took a few steps forward.
How do you know?
Now that everyone else has quieted down, how could I not be aware of the intense gaze piercing the back of my head?
She, who was reluctant to intervene in her land, descended at least in the form of borrowing the body of her goddess statue. If there was a reason, she would be the only one staring at me, and that was what I hoped for too.
“Meet the great hunting goddess, Satis.”
That’s why I stopped paying my respects belatedly and stepped into the spirit of the goddess.
To tell my honest opinion, it was surprisingly worth it.
Maybe it’s because I’ve had a fight with
Anyway, personally, I feel more comfortable than talking to royalty.
—In the place where they had come to reap the children who had done their duty, they saw a very wonderful sight. As a result, he temporarily manifested using the power he had left behind in the past.
Satis said, looking down at me like a real statue.
——I am the child of a beast who has broken his sense. Why are you wandering around the foreign world?
