## Chapter 395 – The Goddess’S Call (2)
395. The Goddess’s Call (2)
While Shuel was spouting nonsense about her main god calling her and demanding a divine body, it wasn’t right for Lewis, the actual main god, to just leave her be.
So, while Raoul was being dragged away by Shuel, what was Lewis doing?
[Lewis. Can you take care of this too?]
[Ah, after that’s done, can you help me out?]
[No… Ha. Okay, then shall I explain it again? Let’s remember it properly this time?]
Today, Lewis was once again being relentlessly nagged at in the mid-level goddesses’ office building.
Lewis being here indicated her current position.
Lewis had truly become a mid-level goddess.
Unable to endure the goddesses’ constant nagging, Lewis quietly grumbled.
“Um… I’m still in my probationary period, you know. The official announcement is still a few days away…”
[But you’ve been promoted to a mid-level god, haven’t you?]
[Yeah, yeah. And since you’re in the learning phase, you should work hard now. You’ll be grateful to us later, you know?]
“…………”
Having said that, the mid-level goddesses gracefully fluttered their wings and flew back up to the 5th floor through the central open space. Lewis sighed quietly. It wasn’t just her imagination that they were dumping work on her under the guise of teaching.
The content they were dealing with was also tricky.
How to coordinate the large-scale earthquake damage that recently occurred in the southern region, and to what extent they should intervene in the casualties to make it smooth, and so on.
She glared at the long documents laid out on the table.
‘Just because we’re gods doesn’t mean we should unconditionally cater to humans… Basically, they should serve us. Ah, wait. These two kingdoms don’t worship us, but they haven’t looted or invaded other countries for quite a while? What should I do? What precedents are there in such cases? I need to look into this carefully. Let’s see if they’ll still be sarcastic even if I handle things the same way as other goddesses. I’ll keep my eyes wide open and answer them!’
Lewis, having retrieved and reviewed various records, concentrated on the documents in front of her, her head throbbing. Right now, she was fired up by the surrounding stimuli.
The mid-level goddesses occasionally glanced at Lewis, and their thoughts were generally similar.
‘That bitch must have enjoyed it, right?’
Keeping her virginity was unavoidable, so let’s leave that aside, but how far did she go? She definitely enjoyed herself with her proxy, 200% certain.
Just thinking about it made her very, very annoying.
Wouldn’t some evidence come out from somewhere?
If they could, they’d like to report her to Lady Illysia for moral corruption and have her punished.
In fact, considering the heavy atmosphere and the work environment, there didn’t seem to be any merit to the promotion, but apart from work hours, it wasn’t so bad for Lewis.
She had moved out of the dormitory-like building where the lower-level gods lived huddled together and now had her own mansion and land befitting a mid-level god. Lewis valued personal space and leisure like this more than a noisy group life.
Well, it’s not like she disliked her fellow goddesses.
She still went to hang out with them sometimes when she was bored.
Anyway, Lewis missed the scene of Raoul being dragged away like that.
The lower-level goddesses who used Raoul as a side dish were also unaware. At first, it was novel, so they watched it, but realistically, they had work to do, so there was no way a goddess would follow everything in real-time. They would briefly binge-watch in real-time when the themes or characters changed, and when it progressed with the same characters like Scarlet, they would watch the highlights through recordings. (In the secret room in the dormitory, there were rows and rows of Raoul’s videos, tagged by category)
Goddess Yuris, who was also watching Lewis from a distance, suddenly felt something within herself and slightly stiffened. Her proxy, Shuel, had sent a signal by resonating her divine power. In other words, it meant that she had secured the male proxy on the ground. She quietly watched Lewis, who was burning with passion, and then got up from her seat.
“Yuris. Are you going home?”
“I’m not going home. Meli. I have things to do on the ground, so I’m going down for a bit.”
“Is it a direct confirmation task? That sounds annoying~”
“Hehe, well, it can’t be helped. Then, I’ll be going?”
“Okay. See you later.”
…………
…………
“Hey. Don’t stagger, and follow me properly.”
“…………”
“Haa. You’re still not in your right mind. What the hell did that old woman do?”
“…………”
Raoul was staggering, following behind a woman.
In the middle of an unknown forest in broad daylight.
He had no idea if this was the Glyschen Kingdom or somewhere else.
All he could hear was the sound of birds chirping in the trees.
‘What should I do? What is this situation?’
Raoul’s mind, which had been broken by his confinement, was slowly returning, but he was still pretending to be out of it, pretending that he couldn’t think rationally. He still hadn’t grasped the situation. While acting, Raoul was trying to understand the current situation by recalling his memories as much as possible.
He had clearly been consumed by Yin energy and spent his days steeped in pleasure with Scarlet… What did Scarlet say at the end? That a goddess was calling him? Was it Lewis calling him? He vaguely remembered teleporting too… Is this really the Glyschen Kingdom? And more importantly, who is this woman?
‘Ah, damn it. It’s itching again…’
His crotch was itching again.
His genitals were swelling up and reacting like Pavlov’s dog whenever the time came. It was definitely Scarlet’s doing. He should be thinking rationally, but whenever he saw a woman, his mind was filled with lust.
Stealing a glance from behind, he could see the back of a woman wearing a one-piece mage robe. Her feminine long hair and curvy figure stimulated Raoul’s lust.
‘This orange-haired woman. I can feel a strong divine power like I felt with Armion. Is she another proxy?’
If so, does that mean that when she says she’s taking him to a goddess, she’s not taking him to Lewis, but to her own main god?
Isn’t this a situation that shouldn’t be happening?
Raoul, who was debating whether to fight or not, decided to just stay quiet. He couldn’t gauge her strength since she was a new face. Also, although she was being hysterical, she didn’t seem as hostile as Armion had been.
Shuel, thinking that they had entered deep enough into the forest, recalled what her main god had said.
‘She told me to put a proper mental magic on him and present him before her.’
So, she had to cast a mental magic on him now. What Shuel was about to do was a kind of hypnotic suggestion. Yes, after all, the scan results showed that there wasn’t a big problem with his mind… It seemed better to cast the magic right away.
Shuel approached Raoul, who was standing blankly, and immediately focused her magic power to cast mental magic.
His shoulders drooped and he made a foolish expression, showing an immediate reaction.
“From now on, you will listen to me and the goddess I serve. When we snap our fingers, you will be in a state of suggestion and listen well. Understood? Nod if you understand.”
Raoul slowly nodded.
‘……I’m not affected, right?’
But contrary to Shuel’s expectations, Raoul was surprisingly not affected by her magic.
The Yin energy that had been accumulated in his body from his promiscuous life was protecting Raoul from Shuel’s magic. One of the characteristics of Yin energy possessed by succubi-like seductive demons was that they had a strong resistance to mental magic. Magic power resonated, but the Yin energy was so strong that it couldn’t actually penetrate the core.
However, Shuel was convinced that her magic had succeeded. The reaction that Raoul was showing was exactly the reaction that a suggestible person would show. She couldn’t even dream that Raoul was actually a master of hypnotic suggestion and was pretending to be affected.
Shuel introduced herself to Raoul, who was pretending to be under suggestion, as Shuel Jenier, the marchioness of the Kemar Kingdom and a proxy of the goddess. She said that her main god had called him because there was something to confirm, just like she had told Scarlet, and she implanted a simple suggestion to prevent him from having any further doubts.
“First, I need to test it…”
Maybe it would be a little mood booster?
Shuel was in a bad mood right now.
She had been wandering around for days trying to find Raoul. And even among archmages, there was a ranking system in their hearts. Shuel was an all-around versatile mage who was proficient in many fields, but in terms of pure skill, that is, in actual combat, she was slightly inferior to Scarlet. (Of course, it would be a different story if she used divine power)
Anyway, she had seen the scene of Scarlet having a wild time, someone she could never consider to be on good terms with… She had pretended to be relaxed, but inside, she was incredibly annoyed to death.
Thinking that she had put Raoul under suggestion by snapping her fingers, she gave Raoul a simple command.
“I’m a bit tired from wandering around looking for you, you know? Try to make me feel better.”
“How can I make you feel better?”
“Huh?”
Shuel glared at Raoul for a moment.
“Even if you’re under suggestion, don’t speak informally to me. I don’t want to be spoken to informally by a proxy who is lower in rank than my main god. Even if the suggestion is lifted, speak politely to me. Understood?”
“……Understood.”
“Good. Anyway… What do you have? I’m not in a good mood, so do something clever.”
“……………”
Shuel crossed her arms and stared intently at Raoul.
Raoul, who had been quietly thinking, suddenly approached her without warning and abruptly hugged her waist. In an instant, two peaks were pressed against her chest, and she could feel their plump volume. A pleasant scent also wafted from her hair.
As soon as Raoul clung to her, Shuel, who had been relaxed until just now, twisted her body, showing a passionate reaction.
“W-wait a minute!? Uwaa. Uwaaa…! H-hic…!!!”
Shuel, who had been embraced in a man’s firm arms for the first time, felt like her head was floating. Moreover, Raoul even breathed a hot sigh into her ear… That area instantly turned bright red.
“Haa. Stop! S-stop it! I’m not in a good mood. Huk. Hiee. Y-you bastard…!!”
Shuel pounded Raoul’s body and somehow managed to pull herself away.
“Stand facing the wall over there!!”
“Yes.”
As Raoul turned his gaze away, Shuel immediately squatted down, as if her strength had left her, and touched her ear.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
Her face turned red and her heart was pounding.
‘D-damn it. I let my guard down. Anyway, that’s how it is. I’ve heard that men are all beasts… And more importantly, isn’t he being too aggressive? If he acts like this with Lady Yuris… No, in the first place, my command was ambiguous… Ugh…’
“……………”
Rub, rub.
She squatted down and touched her hot ear several times.
Well, the fact that she gave such an ambiguous command in the first place meant that she was somewhat expecting this, or even more than this…
“Ahem…!!”
Shuel, feeling embarrassed for no reason, cleared her throat and got up from her seat. Well, whatever, no one was watching. Having confirmed that the suggestion had worked well, Shuel released the suggestion and had Raoul follow her again.
“……Anyway, let’s go. Once we get out of here, my territory will appear.”
And so, the two of them smoothly headed towards Shuel’s march, where Yuris was waiting.
Soon, the scenery of another central kingdom unfolded before Raoul’s eyes.
