Chapter 160 - Chapter 73: Tohru’s First Night, The Great Human Flood

Hearing that name, Shi Yu was stunned for a moment. How could this dragon have the same name as that little girl who carried a hammer all day and caused trouble everywhere? It was truly surprising!

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my name?"

As if dropping its initial defenses, the green giant dragon now scratched its head with its massive claw, acting very human-like.

"Um, can you transform into a human form like me?"

Looking up at a human… oh, no, a dragon, really made Shi Yu's neck ache. She asked, a bit annoyed.

"Uh! Yes, I can."

As Tohru spoke, a huge magic circle appeared in front of her. Then Tohru's entire body began to glow, slowly shrinking. When it was finally the same size as Shi Yu, the light dissipated, and a beautiful figure appeared before Shi Yu. The figure jumped down from mid-air, and the moment she landed, two "fruits" could actually be heard colliding with a "pat-pat" sound. What bothered Shi Yu the most was that the other party wasn't wearing clothes, just wrapped in a piece of skin like cloth. But at this moment, Tohru's appearance made Shi Yu instantly realize where this was. Wasn't this the birthplace of 'Spiral Ascension,' 'Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid'?

She had run into this world. But it wasn't bad. No, wait, if Tohru was here, then where was the protagonist, Kobayashi? Where did she go? Thinking of this, Shi Yu couldn't help but cover her forehead in Tohru's surprised gaze, sighing, "Damn butterfly effect." Looking at the sky, it had just gotten dark. And the protagonist, Kobayashi, was a senior programmer at a company. She was still working overtime at this time, not yet off work to drink and cause trouble!

"What's wrong, Shi Yu-san?"

Tohru no longer felt any aversion towards Shi Yu; instead, she was full of curiosity about her. Is this what love feels like? Oh, Father! Your daughter Tohru, I think I'm in love (Emperor of the End: …).

"Nothing, just marveling at how much melodrama there is in this world. It makes me think of Jingjing. Don't ask me who Jingjing is; it was love once upon a time."

Shi Yu's exhausted and loveless expression left Tohru completely bewildered. She hadn't yet been exposed to the culture of this world and didn't understand any of it.

"Do you want to find a place to stay with me? I just arrived in this world too."

Shi Yu suggested, looking at the adorable Tohru. She was definitely not curious about whether the other party's thick tail was soft or not.

Looking at Shi Yu's outstretched hand, Tohru hesitated for a moment, then accepted Shi Yu's invitation. Whether out of gratitude or curiosity about Shi Yu, Tohru felt this was a good opportunity to become a maid. "Let me serve you well, Shi Yu-sama."

"Ugh! It's a bit cold."

Shi Yu, who was using an insert card, watched as the white card transformed into an ID card and other documents, when she suddenly felt a chill. Shi Yu couldn't help but rub her arms, lamenting the changing weather in the mountains, then led the invisible Tohru out of the mountain.

Along the way, Shi Yu's outstanding appearance caused many "little tails" to appear behind her. Stopping Tohru, who was about to destroy them along with the entire city, Shi Yu went up and used some minor mental suggestions on these "kind ATM machines." After emptying their wallets, she told them to find a trash can and put themselves in it. Then Shi Yu happily walked away with the money.

Since it was late, real estate agents and such had long since closed, so Shi Yu decided to stay in a hotel for the night and look for a place to live the next day.

"By the way, Tohru, put on some clothes! Seeing you like this, what's the difference from not wearing anything?"

Shi Yu, who was preparing to bathe and rest, looked at Tohru, who was still draped in a piece of 'cloth,' and said awkwardly.

"What kind of clothes do you like? I'll search for some pictures online. You can transform your dragon scales into clothes, right?"

"Yes, Shi Yu-sama. I like maid outfits."

"Eh!"

Just as the two (one god, one dragon) happily began their first night in another world, in another world, the war continued.

As Athena's prestige among humans grew louder and louder, the Five Sisters, who hadn't been very attentive, became anxious. They had completely underestimated how good she was at winning people's hearts.

"Big Sister, this can't go on! If this continues, all the talented people will be drawn away by her."

Poseidon lamented to Hades on the divine throne. She completely failed to consider her own thoughtless actions and her fickle, what one might call "unrestrained" or, more accurately, "bratty" personality, which caused people to voluntarily abandon their faith in her.

Hades had nothing to say about the current situation. She knew what these four were doing every day. Moreover, there was a fatal factor among the five of them that led to the current situation: no matter what, they were all third-generation Titan bloodline, high and mighty gods who looked down upon all life on Earth. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't change that innate attitude of contempt for all life below them.

This caused an inherent rift between them and humans, while Athena did not have such a situation. She loved humans very much, perhaps because humans were created by Zeus. But precisely because of this, she was able to establish followers so quickly in the human world and develop so rapidly.

"Poseidon."

"Uh! What is it, Big Sister?"

Looking at Hades, who suddenly called her name, Poseidon had an ominous premonition, and her premonition was about to come true.

"Flood the Earth for me!"

Hearing her Big Sister's decision, Poseidon thought her ears were playing tricks on her. She didn't even bother picking up her Sea Emperor's Trident that had fallen to the ground. She just picked at her ears and asked Hades again.

"Drown the entire land for me."

This time, Hades said it to Poseidon word by word. If Poseidon still didn't understand, she planned to draw her Sword of the Underworld and make her remember it well.

"Why, Big Sister!"

The three who had been listening silently also voiced their confusion. This move would harm a thousand enemies but damage eight hundred of their own! Their followers had cultivated many over the years, and now they would all be gone. How could they not feel heartache?

"Don't worry, I have my own way to resurrect them."

"But Athena's followers, once dead, will have no chance of resurrection."

"Wait, Big Sister, putting aside whether my divine power can flood the land for a few days, but afterward, when Gaia comes looking for trouble, won't I be the first one she looks for?"

Poseidon's beautiful face was contorted with bitterness. She could completely imagine her violent grandmother locking her in a dark room and whipping her with a leather whip.

"Don't panic. I will find a scapegoat for you, like that peculiar masochistic Prometheus from the second generation of Titans. She will be very happy to take your punishment. It is said that she is very much looking forward to Gaia's ultimate punishment."

"Are you satisfied with that answer? Just tell me if you'll do it or not!"

Hearing that reply, Poseidon was silent for a moment, then said to Hades.

"I'll do it!"
