Resurrected Immortal 24

Chapter 24 – 024. Reunion With the Goddess (2)

“… Goddess? Really that… Illyana and my work… Did you see everything?”

[That, yes.]

“Oh, Goddess… No matter how much, it’s 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 .”

[Ah, since it’s a child’s job, it can’t be helped. I had no choice but to watch because I was worried that another strange child might approach and bewitch my child.]

“Illyana… I’m not that kind of woman. She is one of the heroes who traveled together and helped save the underworld. Even if she doesn’t watch over me at least then…”

[That’s not okay. I will continue to watch over the child, so I can’t listen to the child’s plea.]

“…”

Eunhyun felt strange.
Strangely enough, it felt strange that Belldandy’s attitude was even stubborn, but since he didn’t seem like he would inform him that he was asking this, Eun-hyeon thought she had no choice but to give up and gave up.

[Anyway, I have no intention of forcing a child’s relationships and emotions. If a child has that kind of relationship with that witch child, and a future where her child is happy is created, that’s what makes me happy.]

“… Thank you for your permission.”

[Whoops, why did you think I would oppose it, I don’t know what the child thinks.]

“That is…”

In carrying out her mission as an apostle, Eun-hyeon has always sought and devised a way to save many people while excluding personal feelings and bringing people’s sacrifices to a minimum.
Perhaps her feelings for Illyana might lead her in the wrong direction when she was placed at the crossroads of her apostle’s mission, and from her god’s point of view, she judged that.
Eunhyun thought so.
He brings home a woman he is about to marry, but imagines the atmosphere in which his parents are against marrying him and her lover.

[Hey. Don’t worry too much.]

After reading Eun-hyeon’s agony in her heart, Belldandi gently hugs Eun-hyeon’s head and pats her head.

[At least I know she will never blame the child, even if she makes the wrong choice.]

“… Thank you.”

Eunhyeon quietly nodded as she was cradled in Belldandy’s warm arms.

[… Are you going already?]

“Uh… Do you have anything else to say?”

[Didn’t the child want to meet me? He knew that when he saw me again he would have a lot to say. She was determined to listen to everything, even if it was a resentment… The child she met again is calmer than I thought. I had a lot of things I wanted to share with my child…]

“…”

Eunhyun didn’t say anything and thought about her for a moment, then she went up to Verdandi and hugged her as tightly as she could.

[Ah, kid?! Hey, it’s blasphemous to lay hands on a goddess… !]

Then, what was it that had comforted her by patting her on the back, hugging her earlier?
Eunhyun let out a laugh.

“Certainly, it wasn’t once or twice that I felt sad.”

[Yes… ?!]

Verdandi, who was panicking and flustered, trembled once, and his body stiffened.

“Why don’t you answer my call? Are you abandoning me? Have I become useless? Could I have done something wrong? Whenever I had a hard thought, I always thought a lot.”

[…]

Belldandi quietly listened to Eunhyun’s calm voice over her shoulder.
I knew.
She didn’t even pretend to be ignorant.
I wanted to answer all his calls.
But even so, directly interfering with the underworld was a taboo of the gods, so Belldandy could not answer Eunhyeon’s cry.

“Even so, I continued to check and confirm the power of my apostle that did not disappear. Even if you didn’t answer, I believed that you would continue to watch over me.”

[Ah…]

One word that I’ve been really struggling all this time.
Eun-hyeon was so happy to be able to confirm that Eun-hyeon was watching over all of Eun-hyeon’s activities in the divine realm.
How could he not be happy that he was recognizing his penance?
That’s why Eunhyeon said.

“If the Goddess continues to watch over me, I can do my best again.”

Where can there be a believer with a firmer faith than this?
Eun-hyeon smiles and speaks confident words of faith.
In Belldandy’s eyes, I could see the light of a very dazzling and pure soul.
Over 400 years of living, the exhausted and worn out soul was once again revitalized and radiating brilliant light.
Beldandy felt indescribable joy that the driving force behind that vitality was himself.
However, too much joy rather confused the goddess.

[That, that word is too cowardly…]

“Yes?”

[Oh, nothing!]

Eunhyun let go of Belldandy and the two met eyes again.

[Go now. It was done because I confirmed the child’s sincerity. Now I can make up my mind.]

“A decision?”

[Okay. You will find out soon.]

“All right.”

After Eunhyeon answered, he went down the stairs to the throne and headed back to where he had come from.
Returning to the starting point, Eun-hyeon turned her body and moved her gaze to the throne of Belldandy, which was located high up the stairs, and bowed down to bow reverently.

“It was really nice to see you again like this.”

[Me too.]

Belldandy sent Eunhyun away with a benevolent smile.
In this way, her silver consciousness descends to the lower world, and her sister goddesses appear next to Belldandi, who is left alone.

[Are you really going to do it?]

[Of course.]

[I don’t know why you show affection to that child so much.]

Urud frowned at Verdandi’s determination.
From the point of view of the gods, a human being is nothing more than a very small expendable item.
It was the same with their apostles, and Eunhyeon was no different.
It was only that he specified a special unit in the world of war simulation and gave it power and allowed him to enjoy privileges that ordinary humans could not enjoy, but Urud did not have personal feelings for Eun-hyeon.

[It’s not that I don’t acknowledge the child’s work. The kid was very nice, and he followed our policy very well, even to the death of personal feelings. I acknowledge that child’s ability.]

[But her heart is breaking as a result.]

[Is that why you persuaded the other gods to bring only one human back to life?]

[He died like that because of our circumstances, and he was brought back to life again because of our circumstances.]

Hearing Urd’s reprimanding voice, Belldandi tightened her hands and began to strain the corners of her arm that were gripping the armrests of her throne.

[We have a responsibility to take care of that child.]

[… I don’t understand.]

[Sister…]

[I agree too.]

[Skuld, up to you? Are you also on the side of that child?]

Skuld nodded her head slightly, but her expression was calm.

[At least, if you go in this state, that child’s mind will already reach its limit before long.]

Living an immortal life beyond the human lifespan is not necessarily a good thing.
It is Eunhyeon’s unique strength to go through countless experiences and use her accumulated experience and abilities to obtain favorable results, but the soul of an ordinary human is not a container that can contain all of that immortal time.
Eun-hyeon’s soul was already reaching its limit due to mental wear and tear.

[Even if you exclude personal feelings, since you saved that child by pouring a lot of energy into it, that child has to work more for Hagye. Belldandy’s choice is a very difficult idea for a god to understand, but the benefits that can be derived from it are very reasonable.]

Skuld said she didn’t have special feelings for Eunhyeon like Belldandi.
Rather, there was only interest in how the future of Eun-hyeon, who could not read her, would be drawn due to the ‘Creating Destiny’ given by her own power.

[… Do whatever you feel like. You probably didn’t even hear that I dried it anyway.]

[Thank you. Sister.]

Conservative Urdu who values ​​authority as a god and the rules of the divine realm
Belldandy acts with private feelings while worrying only about Eun-hyun.
Due to her efficiency, she shows a strong curiosity about the future she cannot predict.
The three sisters, yet unified as one, all had different personalities and ways of thinking, but in the end, they were goddesses who made Eunhyeon their apostle.

◆ ◆ ◆

After saying goodbye, Eun-hyeon woke up.
Eun-hyeon opened her eyes and stared blankly at her ceiling.
She woke up, but Eun-hyeon was still immersed in the afterglow of her dream in her head.
She didn’t have the heart to move her body.

“Whoa… Let’s start by tidying up.”

As soon as Eun-hyeon got her body up from her bed, she headed to her desk, took out her paper and pen, and based on the contents of her dream, she wrote down and organized what she had to do in the future. .

[Do you think about work as soon as you wake up?]

“Sure. If you can… Uh?”

Eun-hyeon looked behind her in surprise.
She is the bright blonde woman she had been with in her dreams.
Looking at her goddess floating in her own room in a spiritual body state where her body and mass do not exist, Eun-hyeon couldn’t keep her mouth shut and she stared at her blankly.

“Oh, Goddess… Sir?”

[You look very surprised. Whoops.]

Seeing Eunhyeon’s face still unable to calm down, Belldandy smiled with satisfaction.

“Everyone, of course I’m surprised… ! Joe!”

Eun-hyeon involuntarily raised her voice, but she hurriedly cut her off and continued her words in a low voice.

“No, how on earth did you manifest in the underworld?!”

[I am not the goddess of children. Because of the power I gave to her child, the connection between us grew stronger. So, as soon as she gathered her divine power, I called the child to my throne, and when she left, she followed the child.]

“…”

Eunhyeon was dumbfounded and she just stared blankly at Belldandi.
No, what kind of crazy goddess in the world follows humans and incarnates herself in the underworld?

[… A child is more likely to harbor disrespectful thoughts than one might think.]

After reading Eun-hyeon’s thoughts, Belldandy narrowed his eyes and looked at Eun-hyeon.

“No, that… It’s kind of like that. What are you going to do with your work in the divine realm or something like that?”

[Do not worry. The ‘I’ who incarnated here is the concept of a double body. ‘I’ in the divine world also exists properly.]

Eunhyeon thought that this situation was so out of the blue.
Is this more acceptable than that?
Did the other gods condone her unruly behavior?
Various thoughts were running through Eunhyun’s head.

[That’s nothing to worry about. Didn’t you say The gods who watched your penance decided that they would treat you cooperatively. That included my incarnation. Many gods gathered their divine powers and loosened the restrictions on the interference of the underworld a little.]

“Omg…”

What is it, this rule break-like development?

[Rule bra… ? What is it?]

“Oh, nothing…”

Eunhyun shook her head with a confused expression.
He didn’t notice, but Belldandi, who was in Eun-hyeon’s body, smiled at Eun-hyeon.
Soon, he came close to him and lightly held Eun-hyeon’s head in his arms.
Curiously, even though no mass or body existed, her touch was palpable.
She was happy to be able to feel her cozy feeling, which she had only felt in her dreams, in her reality, but she also had mixed feelings.

[Now I won’t leave you alone like that.]

Belldandy murmured a small heartfelt resolution that even Eun-hyeon, who had a complicated expression on, wouldn’t be able to hear.
