Scarblade Goddess 9 Chapter 8
The next morning, Otorine was at the fountain square. As usual there was an extravagant gla.s.s fountain at the center, that was spurting its sparkling waters.She was sitting on a wooden bench all alone, as she was calming her nerves and drinking her flavored peach milk from a tetrpack."This place is so relaxing.",she said to herself. She saw the vast and groomed gra.s.sy patch beneath her feet. It looked pleasing to pa.s.sers-by, as it was a blend of azure crystals and emerald fragments. There were white doves of divine hope that were flying and gliding across the place. While the park looked-like the real deal, the whole place was encased in crystal gla.s.s. The blue sky was visible outside but, there were numerous bright stars that looked-like they were suns of various colors and sizes from different worlds. A little while later, Senku took a seat beside Otorine. Somehow, Otorine felt nervous and embarra.s.sed, since she remembered that Senku saved her skin once again. Though, she had stopped feeling tense and just wore a thankful smile. Then, she said without eye contact,"Thanks for saving me back there, Senku. If it weren't for you...I don't know what would've happen to me.".Senku made a confident smile,"No problem and besides you're a dear friend of mine...and my G.o.ddess heroine too ya know...or was it sister or mother or guardian?".Otorine's pink feelers ringed, as she heard those alarming terms about her. Moreover, she blushed like a bright red tomato and felt even more embarra.s.sed than ever before. She tried to respond but, she was stuttering for some reason,"G-G.o.ddess mother or s-sister? W-where is this coming from Senku? W-we're not blood-related y-you know.".Though, she had stopped stuttering as she recalled the earlier term,"Okay...I guess G.o.ddeess heroine is more appropriate...".Then, she took a sip of her milk drink. Strangely enough, she kept on sipping her drink, even though there was no more milk left, turning her to make a loud sipping noise of a disturbed girl. It seemed she was still stranged and utterly surprised of Senku's sudden compliments for her, making her to be not in her usual self. Not only that, her heart was beating faster as well. Though, Senku didn't mind Otorine's drastic change in behavior, as he just responded to her previous statement straight,"Yeah...we might not be but, you treated me like your own, during the times when I was still living on your world right?".He brought out his white clean slate smartphone and showed Otorine the smartphone's screen that was playing a video. It was showing that Senku was bedridden and sick at a certain cabin. Beside him was Otorine taking care of him in order for him to get better. Otorine didn't deny the video, as it was all true to her experience. It seemed in Celestia heavens, the heroes, heroines, G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses past lives were recorded in order for the higher ups to know what's going on with their divine people's lives. It may seem invasive to their privacy but, that's how the ones in command administrate the whole system of Celestia Heavens. Moreover, the past experiences can be streamed or downloaded but, they need the required permissions to do so. The past experiences can also be used as learning materials or entertainment pieces for others. There after, Senku had stopped playing tha video and put his smartphone back. He sighed and said, while he was looking at Otorine's eyes,
"Honestly, no one took care of me there except you. Then, I became a hero thanks to your loving care and guidance.".Senku noticed that Otorine's eyes were dazzling like the stars and her cheeks were bright red. She looked-like she was mesmerized by his flowery compliments and sincere gratefulness for having a G.o.ddess such as her. Somehow, he just knacked out a smile and looked down, in order to break the growing pa.s.sionate air,"Sadly I chose to live in another world, as my reward for all the feats I've done when I died."He held his hands together and did mannerisms, as he was feeling tense as well,"But really, the other G.o.ddesses weren't even in par with your compa.s.sion. Without you, I wouldn't be able to become a hero nor a hero G.o.d now...so thank you...and goodluck on your mission.".Afterwards, Senku stood up and waved a goodbye at her. Then, he left her. For some reason, Otorine still couldn't brush-off the budding feeling she had with Senku. She touched her chest. Her heart was racing faster and she still looked very fl.u.s.tered even if Senku had left, turning her to question her own thoughts,"Why am I feeling like this?!".For some reason, Otorine's inner core was feeling the wreathing compa.s.sion from Senku that she was longing for. Her sweet affection for him was getting stronger and stronger, as they meet with each other from time to time. She was filled with doubts in her own thoughts,"He told me, he just sees me as a great G.o.ddess. Though, why am I feeling something different just now, even though I kept seeing him from time to time?".She sighed and asked someone who still has a hold unto her heart, while she was looking above,"Tell me Na.s.sus, what should I do?".Somehow, there was someone hiding behind a non-noticeable cherry blossom tree. It seemed he was observing Otorine and Senku before. Moreover, the guy's eyes were filled with shallow furiousness for Senku, as Senku was being friendly with Otorine.The guy's name was Aron. One of the hero G.o.ds like Senku. He had done grand feats of being a savior in his past life, as he had also saved several number of worlds and their G.o.ddesses. Aron's height has a towering 6' 3". His skin was golden tan such as he just came fresh from the beach. He has l.u.s.trous spiky black hair that would catch the attention of thirsty females. His amber eagle eyes were very expressive and manly that would make G.o.ddesses to fawn over him. His facial features truly looked very pompous to look at, that would prove his immense machismo and arrogance. In turn, he looked-like a playboy type of guy who goes after the ladies. He was wearing a white suit that would prove he looked like an executive of a higher position. His broad and rock hard body was also pleasing to look at, that boosted his potential of attracting b*tches and s.l.u.ts.Moreover, he had a necklace made of gold that depicted a head of a lion such as he was a prideful club master who wants to get all of the women. His belt was also made of pure gold, that would say he was a rich guy who could give anything to a woman. His strong legs that were covered by his white pants were very nice to look at as well. The noticeable thing about him is that, he has several golden and platinum rings wrunged on all of his fingers. Lastly, his shoes were always shining as if it was polished everyday.It seemed Aron had an interest on Otorine. Due to his rising anger on Senku, his squeeze had now crushed the tree's trunk, leaving a severe mark on the poor tree. Afterwards, he expressed his deep hatred with his low boastful voice,"That Senku! I thought he didn't have any interest on lady Ori...but now, he just confessed some kind of...P-Pa.s.sIONATE role-play with her!".Somehow, his anger dwindled, as he kept on looking at Otorine such as she was a G.o.ddess of beauty before his eyes, even though she was eating a weird shrimp dipped in melted cheese. Suddenly, someone patted Aron's shoulder behind his back. Aron turned around and saw Senku. Then, Senku asked him,"What are you doing? Aron?".Aron was surprised and scratched his head, while he was wearing a tricky smile,"Ahhh...Ehehehe...nothing Senku...also sorry for not showing up before. Ya know I always get carried away of PLAYING WITH MY GIRLS. So see ya later bro!".Afterwards, Aron left in a hurry. Senku just sighed, as he already knew that Aron had been spying him and Otorine before,"I knew you'd say that, you womanizer.".Senku noticed that the tree was almost wrecked, so he brought out his hand. His hand glowed and let out dazzling fragments of white diamond. A little while later, the tree was healed and restored to its former glory. It seemed Senku has the powers of divine healing. Sometime soon, he felt frustrated,"And where the f*ck is that Shiro? I gotta get that game disc that he borrowed from me before, geez.".A little while later, Yumine, Otorine, Na.s.sus and Ira entered the Blade G.o.ddess meeting, as Otorine and her band were summoned upon by Mara. Mara was surprised to see G.o.ddess Ira, since she wasn't included in Otorine's party before,"Oh? G.o.ddess Ira why are you here?".Otorine then explained to their head Blade G.o.ddess,"She said that she is willing to help us on our mission...and she knows something about the incident that had happened before.".Mara looked convinced of Otorine's explanation,"I see...then she'll be a vital part for this mission filled with puzzling mysteries.".Mara then took a seat. Little Na.s.sus looked entranced by Mara, although he was terrified of her as well. She held her hands like she was a composed headmaster. Afterwards, she said to Otorine's group,"Also, I called all of you here, since we've already found one of the missing Fallens...who is part of the Notorius 7.".Then, Mara snapped her fingers high into the air. The next moment, a holographic screen appeared from the round table. It was showing the information of the Fallen and his physical appearance. There, they saw that the Fallen had golden ash blonde hair and he had 7 p.r.o.nged golden wings. Sooner or later, Mara told them with her commanding tone,"His name is, EXCEEDIEL REVERIA. He is known as the ultimate hero of blinding light.".Everyone gulped and felt b.u.t.terflies in their stomach, as they heard the exceptional t.i.tle of the Fallen. Mara didn't care for their reactions, as she continued to tell the details,"His powers are all purely light or holy element in other terms, making him to be the easiest to take down and predict. Though, due to his other notable capabilities such as...solar regeneration...".She snapped her fingers once again, there they saw a video of the Fallen recovering his wounds through the sun's direct rays. Then, Mara continues to say,"Meaning he can regenerate quickly when there is heat around him, which always happens if the rising sun is visible.".Next, another holographic screen appeared beside the main screen. It was showing a short clip of the Fallen, spreading out his brilliant wings, making the screen to turn white for some reason. As expected Mara explained to them in brief,"He also has the blinding wings of radiance, in which he could blind anyone's sight by just looking at his spread out golden wings directly.".She sighed and said profusely,"Other than that, his other special abilities are, hyper flying, ultimate gale, energy blades and accelerate. In other words, you'll need to take him down as soon as possible, before he could boost himself through accelerate or heal himself in mere seconds.".Mara stood up and went near Otorine. Then she patted Otorine's shoulder, as she has that much trust and confidence for Otorine's capabilities, while she was wearing a motivational smile,"Though, I have high hopes for the Serene Blade G.o.ddess of the blue winds here.".Afterwards, Mara went back to her seat and held her hands like she was a serious and composed CEO of the company. As expected, Ira was getting bored of the long and monotonous discussion. Mara didn't suspect or didn't mind Ira's disinterest, as she just continued to tell more information,"Also, if you were wondering on how and why he became a fallen.".Mara closed her eyes for a brief moment, turning her to build up tensions in the air. The next moment, her eyes looked sharp as a blade and she said without any rest,It's because, he tried to prove himself that he was the highest amongst the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses. Whilst, he also crushed some of them down, using the powers bestowed upon him.".She calmed herself and stopped being serious,"If those information weren't enough, I suppose you can look it up through here for more."Then, Mara gave some kind of black microchips to Otorine, Yumine and Ira. The microchips looked smaller than the usual simcard. When the meeting was finished, the four of them headed back to Ru's place in order to relax as well as prepare for the upcoming mission. Otorine and co. were at the comfortable couches at the corner. There were other G.o.ds, G.o.ddesses, heroes and heroines at the other tables but, the place wasn't that much crowded. Otorine and Yumine were looking through their screen, as they were seeing the cla.s.sified info about the Fallen that was discussed before. As for Ira, she was looking at her smartphone as well but, she appeared she was just playing games, since she was wearing a silly face of being entertained,"Come on Pooky make your G.o.ddess proud!".With regards to little Na.s.sus, he was eating macaroni and cheese and he seemed to like it such as he was truly a young kid in heart. Otorine looked focused on her screen, while she was telling to herself, as she was reviewing the infos she was seeing,"Exceediel Reveria...One of the heroes of the 17th gen...Taken down by his own 1st wife who became a G.o.ddess of another world due to her outstanding feat of taking down his tyranny.".She paused for a moment then she swiped up her screen and said again,"He had a daughter but, he turned her into his own 2nd wife by force. He killed all of his companions and allies when they thought he had gone insane".As Yumine heard Otorine's review on the information, she was flabbergasted,"Wow...that guy's really...REALLY NUTS!".Otorine continued to review like she was a dedicated student,"Accomplices...G.o.ddess Rozen, G.o.ddess Luvina and G.o.ddess Hazel.".Yumine comments again,"Who knew they worked their a*ses for him. They must've liked a crazy good looking guy.".Yumine continued to browse her her phone's screen, although she just skipped to the end part, as she was similar to the lazy kind of student. Thereon, she just recalls the important information on the screen,"Hmmm, so his sanity is level F, Area suspected in...Amakiel world.".She sighed with a stressful look, as she said the next info,"And we got an S cla.s.s mission already...just great.".Na.s.sus was done eating his kiddy meal and he took a glance at Otorine, although he was locked unto Otorine's melons this time around. Ira didn't even bother to join-in to their important discussion, as she was more concerned on some other matter inside her thoughts,"I wonder how my daughter Lua is doing!".Ira recalled her thoughts and praised herself within,"Oooooh! Who knew I can still be concerned for her as a mother! More mother points for me!".That sudden moment, Ira's smartphone vibrated on her hand. Her trial of being a loving mother was put to the test. Due to her carelessness, she had accidentally put it in loudspeaker mode. Afterwards, she heard the loud high-pitched ear raping voice of her daughter,"WHAT THE h.e.l.lS MOM! WHY THE F*CK DID DAD KICK ME OUT?!".Her hair wooshed and her expression was an unexplainable irritation. Almost everybody at the bar got startled, as they heard the annoying voice of her daughter. Ira felt humiliated and told her daughter by the phone,"Shhhh...pipe down, now isn't the time...just a sec okay.".Ira told Otorine and Yumine that she'll be out for a while. They just nodded, as they were focussed on their phone, although Yumine was more or less playing a role playing game, since she was already done glancing the infos. Afterwards, Ira left. Yumine noticed that Na.s.sus was looking at Otorine like he was entranced by her charismatic maiden-like beauty. In turn, Yumine wore a smile and she was in her wishful thoughts,"Hmmm...maybe losing his memories wasn't a bad thing at all. Rather, it was a blessing, I guess?".Though, little did she know that Na.s.sus wasn't looking at Otorine's face, instead he was looking at her bountiful b.r.e.a.s.t.s, as he was a curious kid who wanted to touch them for the very first time. Soon, Ira came back with a depressed look and sat down on her couch,"Ugh...she's so demanding.".Otorine asked Ira,"So...how was talking with your daughter Lua?".Ira responds,"It didn't kinda go well. The good news is, she just wanted to stay at Luna hotel. The bad news is, she's spending way too much of my G.o.ddess points, just by staying at that luxury hotel.".Then, Ira smacked her face, as she had realized something,"I can't believe I'm a frickin' slave to my own daughter now.".Zeran and Ru seemed they were about to laugh, as they heard Ira's statements. Yumine had stopped fiddling her phone. She asked but, it was a different topic,"By the way...I think we should train Na.s.sus how to fight now. Since, I think he has forgotten on how to fight.".Otorine sighed,"I kinda agree...".Strangely enough, Ira had stopped being down in the gutters and joined along their conversation, as she was full of energy,"Oooooh! Let me join!".Na.s.sus replies like he doesn't know anything,"Fight? What's fight? Is that another food?".
