"I'm not dreaming, am I?!"
Kurumi looked at the petite figure lying beside her, remembering encountering Yu in the rain last night and inviting her. She then awkwardly realized she had just arrived in this world and had no house, so she and Yu stayed in a hotel. Hmm! In her happiness, she forgot her constitution of getting drunk from a single drop, drank two sips of red wine, and then… blacked out.
"Damn it, drinking causes trouble."
At this moment, Kurumi felt so regretful, lamenting that she had no memory of being intimate with her goddess (past life) yesterday.
"You're awake. Did I do anything rude yesterday?"
Looking at Eucliwood, who had just groggily opened her sparkling big eyes, Kurumi asked with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. Her anticipation was about whether she had any intimate contact with the lovely Eucliwood, while her nervousness was about hoping she hadn't done anything unforgivable to Eucliwood yesterday, which would be terrible.
"You were amazing last night."
After a moment of silence, Eucliwood took out her seemingly endless notebook and wrote words that made Kurumi's face almost crumble.
"Just kidding (laughs)."
Be elegant, be elegant, oh, Zeus, you are Kurumi now, you are Kurumi now, be yandere, be yandere, be coquettish… "Is that so? Hehe, that's wonderful. Do you want to go again, little cutie?"
With a pleasant and somewhat seductive smile on her face, Kurumi revealed her fair, tender shoulder from under the covers, her gaze at Eucliwood full of charm and temptation, like a succubus luring one into depravity.
"No… impure."
The effect was outstanding. A blush suddenly appeared on Eucliwood's small face, then she suppressed it, protesting to Kurumi with her trembling small hand.
"So cute! Your name?"
Because Kurumi got drunk too suddenly yesterday, she didn't even have time to ask Eucliwood's name. If she rashly told her own name, it would surely raise suspicion, so it was better not to cause herself trouble.
"Eucliwood Hellscythe. Your name?"
"My name is Tokisaki Kurumi. Please take care of me."
"No, I have something to ask you."
Eucliwood first hummed, then quickly took out her notebook and began to write.
"Ask away?"
Kurumi tidied her clothes, then poured tea, offering a cup to Eucliwood, while she herself began to drink coffee, answering Eucliwood's question.
"Why did you say those words, and you're not human, are you?"
"Indeed, as you thought, I am not human, but a Spirit, a Spirit who controls time."
"Perhaps you haven't heard of it, but I am a Spirit born from the Third Sephirah on the Kabbalah Tree of Life."
Slightly fabricating Kurumi's background, it became the situation Zeus needed now.
"Another question: does 'I like you' count as a reason? I fell for you the moment I saw you." (Gaia, Alaya, etc…: Why do I suddenly feel a bit green lately?)
"That answer is so cunning. We've only met for less than 24 hours, and besides, anyone who stays by my side will be unfortunate."
Eucliwood, startled by Kurumi's words, frantically wrote her reply. It was her first time being confessed to like this, and by a woman, with such a domineering declaration. She could no longer maintain her emotionless expression. When she mentioned herself, she used the word 'unfortunate,' believing that all the misfortune around her was caused by her. Therefore, she didn't want anyone to be involved with her and suffer harm.
This pitiful and somewhat self-deprecating thought made her constantly wish for her own death, but if she died, the immense magic she couldn't control would directly destroy the world. So she had to live, a life more agonizing than death.
It was this kind of Eucliwood that attracted Kurumi's affection. She wanted to stay by her side, to help her with something, even if it was just making a cup of tea.
"There's no such thing as misfortune, Eucliwood."
"You need to try and believe that there are beings capable of being with you without being affected."
"Please try to believe me, okay? I will let time prove that what I say is correct."
Kurumi reached out and held Eucliwood's hand that was holding the pen, looking at her bright, pure sapphire-like eyes with sincere gaze. Kurumi's reflection was in those eyes. After looking at Kurumi for a long time, Eucliwood finally nodded helplessly.
"You don't have to answer the other thing now. Please let me stay by your side and protect you. When you figure it out, you'll understand what's going on."
Kurumi said this, but in reality, she was already laughing internally. Although she liked Eucliwood very much, it hadn't reached the level of love. This was to first confuse Eucliwood's thoughts, then find an excuse to stay by her side, and then intervene in Eucliwood's future life, doing whatever she could to help Eucliwood. Thinking of this, Kurumi couldn't help but marvel at her own genius, and also felt a little worried about Eucliwood's psychological state. However, Kurumi completely forgot the saying, 'Those who play with a woman's feelings will pay the price,' a myth circulated among men, which sometimes really does come true.
"Understood. You can stay by my side."
Eucliwood was clearly fooled. She let out a deep sigh of relief, then rashly agreed to Kurumi's request in her newly calmed, flustered state.
"Then, my lovely Eucliwood-chan, let's go to another city and choose a good place to live!"
Kurumi looked at the Creative Gaming Academy located in a certain city. Was this the protagonist's school? So Kurumi suggested it to Eucliwood, and unexpectedly, she actually agreed to Kurumi's request. Perhaps in her mind, it didn't matter where she lived, as long as she had a warm home and family, this simple and cute girl would be satisfied.
In another world, Pegasus used her last ounce of strength to fly to Athena and haltingly explained the situation and its origins to Athena.
"Do you want to save your mother?"
Athena looked at Medusa, who was slowly turning to stone due to the curse, and asked Pegasus.
"I do."
"Whatever the cost, as long as Mother can live."
Pegasus gazed at Medusa with longing, then lowered her head and pleaded with Athena.
"You will lose your immortal body as a Phantom Beast, become human, and fight for me. Are you willing?"
Without any hesitation, Pegasus instantly agreed.
"Is this the choice of fate?"
"This curse is very difficult to remove, but it can be transferred and sealed into her eyes. However, if that happens, whoever she looks at will turn to stone. This way, she can never look at her loved ones again. You are truly cruel, Poseidon."
She said, sighing, while suppressing and transferring Medusa's curse.
"Goodbye, Mother."
Pegasus, slowly shedding her Phantom Beast form, transformed into a human loli and appeared before Athena. But she was only a soul now and needed Athena to send her to reincarnation.
"I hope I'll have a chance to see you again."
"Thank you, Great Goddess Athena."
Watching the deep mother-daughter bond before her, Athena couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness. Her mother goddess was still missing, and her father god searched every day with no results. When would their family finally be reunited?!
"Mother Goddess, where are you?"
