Family and Goddess 2.176

The gods could reach the earth in three ways. First of all, gods like Urans and others of high level, had been sent by the primeval creator of this world to put things in order. The second form came when the connection between heaven and earth was created. At that moment, the gods like Zeus, Hera and Hephaestus came down. Of which it could be said that they came to seek fortune and new opportunities. Finally, invoking a god under agreement. However, this was a form that was never used as many gods would not come down to earth without sufficient motivation.

On this last point, you could say that Semiramis was a pioneer. Since she, under agreement with the goddess Bishamon, offered her to come to earth. Of course, for that, minimum requirements should be met that Hera, as a friend and connection between the parties, checked that they were met.

The first requirement was that there be a prominent warrior within the group that tried to summon her. There came Viggo, who, even though he still couldn't beat Jason and the others, had the potential to pull it off in the short term (thinking within the five-year range). Hera knew, Kain knew, Hephaestus didn't know, but she was Viggo's mother, so she would blindly hope that he would become the best. So, with the initial point fulfilled, the following terms could be discussed.

Bishamon or Bishamonten was goddess of fortune and war. So, she wouldn't listen to a person who didn't even can accomplish something on their own. However, there came Semiramis, a businesswoman who traveled all over Greece making deals. She now worked for Hera, but with her ingenuity and funds, Hera hoped that Semiramis would become a powerful partner.

With the above accomplished, Bishamon felt motivated enough to come down to earth and now, inside the carriage of Hephaestus, they traveled to the guild to appear before the god Uranus. The person who regulates the stay and dealings between the gods.

-Have they done all this?- asked Bishamon, looking out the window with a smile on her lips. Outside passed the streets of Orario, the large groups of adventurers heading to the tower of Babel. The houses, the soleras and other great constructions that made Orario a prosperous city.

-You could say that humans did it on their own. We guide them- said Hera, a mixture of modesty and sincerity.

Bishamon let out a little chuckle and looked it in the face -never expect someone like you to become so humble- she said.

-That- Hera said with a blush on her cheeks -many things change-

-So, it seems- said Bishamon looking at Hera's huge belly.

-Sure, just be careful-

From the front seats they were watched by Viggo, Hephaestus and Hitomi.

-Tell me, Viggo How many more adventurers are there besides you?- asked Bishamon without looking him in the eye and running his hand through Hera's belly.

-There are Sakura and Ana, archer, and explorer- said Viggo -also Rosewisse, a magician and warrior-

-What weapon does it occupy?- asked Bishamon.

-A katana that my father recently gave her-

-Katana, it's crazy- Hera replied -I don't know how Kain can continue to give such problematic weapons to the boys, she doesn't even know how to occupy that sword-

-Yes, well- Viggo said with an uncomfortable smile -she's training with Tsubaki-

-Something is something, I hope that little girl teaches you well-

-Continue, Viggo- said Bishamon still gently caressing Hera's belly. She found it magical that someone like her was going to be a mother, after all, she didn't have any divinity associated with motherhood. This was another incentive that motivated her to come. From just thinking about having his own child, as mortals would, Bishamon's heart was racing.

-Well, I already named Sakura, Ana, Rosewisse and finally me-

-Just four- said Bishamon, pushing his hand away from Hera's belly to look at Viggo with a frown.

-Only four, she says- Hera said in a burlesque tone of voice. She looked at Hephaestus and continued -Can you believe what she says? Only four nothing else? Do you remember what your first adventurers were like?-

-Little level ones who hopefully knew how to swing a hammer- Hephaestus said with a bright smile, but despite her gaze, she remembered those first moments with nostalgia and affection.

Hera nodded and then looked at Bishamonten -to be a goddess of fortune, you don't know how lucky you are- she said -Viggo can be considered a level 8 adventurer and is only fifteen years old-

-Hey, auntie, I'm only fourteen, in one more month I turn fifteen- Viggo said.

Hera looked at him, nodded, and then looked at Bishamon -See? Goddess of fortune, you are very lucky-

-But it's only one- Bishamon said.

-One that is at the peak of the strength of every Orario. It's not number one, but I bet it will be soon-

-Thank you, aunt- said Viggo.

Hera closed her eyes and shook her head -you have nothing to thank me for- she said -it's the truth. Plus, that girl Rosewisse is just as strong as you, aren't she?-

-Yes- said Viggo -plus Sakura and Ana are level 3-

Hera stared at Bishamon with a contemptuous look and the latter understood her annoyance. After all, most of the gods who came down to Orario did so empty-handed and have to start their families from scratch. However, this in turn made Bishamon happy and she smiled pleased at fortune.

Once they stopped at the guild, they got out of the carriage and entered the front desk. There Aina, Eina's mother and one of Kain's wives, was waiting for them. She wore her neat green hair in a ponytail tied with a white ribbon. He was wearing a sleeveless jacket and cloth pants.

-Good morning, everyone- said Aina with a pronounced bow -I am the advisor who will help you with the paperwork-

-Aina- Hera said -see the paperwork with Hitomi, please. Hephaestus and I will take Bishamon with Uranos-

-I understand, Lady Hera- replied Aina with a business smile.

Hera and Hephaestus took Bishamon by the arms and escorted her to a corridor at the back of the guild.

-Auntie, I'm sorry, and thank you very much for your patience- Viggo said with an uncomfortable smile at the attitude of the goddesses.

-Don't worry, Viggo- Aina said with a gentle smile, walked up to him, stretched out her hands and fixed his shirt collar -I'm used to dealing with the gods. They are annoying, but it is their way of being-

Viggo nodded, Aina put her hands away from the collar of her shirt and looked at Viggo in profile, to finally nod in approval -today you look quite handsome, I hope you continue like this- she said.

-Do you also have an aunt?-

-Me too, it is okay to dress as you like when you are a child, but when you become an adult the rules of the game change-

-I understand aunt, I will consider it-

-Consider it, please- said Aina, then looked at the elf Hitomi, who was also her and Riveria's cousin. She looked back at Viggo and then Hitomi -tastes are not far apart-

Hitomi frowned upon hearing her, but said nothing about it and continued with her work -Miss Advisor Can we fill out the forms? I would appreciate it-

-You don't have to be so shy; you were always like this and that's why you're a half-baked magician-

-Shut up, I'm not a half-baked magician!-

-So, why aren't you an adventurer?-

-That- Hitomi said in a small voice and looking down. Aina shook her head in a gesture of exasperation, walked over to Hitomi, clasped her arms, and took her to an inn near the library so that the two could fill the record of the new goddess.

Viggo stared as they left, looked around and saw no one he knew, went to sit in an armchair. The guild's advisors who were unemployed approached him one by one, asking if they could help him. Viggo said no, but they were left circling around him. As he had nothing to do, he talked to the advisors and a few minutes later the laughter was heard.

Aina and Hitomi who filled out the form for the new gods and thus be able to start a family, heard the scandal. They looked up and saw Viggo surrounded by young advisers, even those who were already married. Hitomi frowned, understanding better why she had walked away from a lustful man.

-From such a father, such a son- said Aina, with a helpless smile.

-Is Mr. Kain like that too?- asked Hitomi.

Aina bowed her head, looked at the paper on the table and continued to fill it in -no- she said with a soft tone of voice -but when I met him, he was just as charismatic as Viggo. If I'm honest, the first time I saw him I found him handsome and when we separated, I thought my heart was going to break into a thousand pieces. For a moment I thought about leaving Riveria on her own on the coast and coming to run to Orario. In the end, I couldn't leave her alone and wait and wait-

-Doesn't it bother you that he has other wives?-

-If I'm honest, no, not now- said Aina, raising her head, showing a smile, and then looking at the form again -at first, I was upset, but when I started to meet the other girls, it wasn't so terrible anymore. Besides, Riveria was madly in love with that guy. So, I had to get the idea. I couldn't ask Kain to abandon Riveria-

-Moment!- said Hitomi -we are talking about the same taciturn elf who has no emotions-

Aina showed a funny smile and nodded. Then she continues to fill out the form -no one knows, but her letters were so childish that I felt like was going to get sick of how sweet they were- she said in a funny tone -don't tell her. She says they are a stain on her life, but I know she keeps sending such letters to Kain-

-But don't they live together?-

-Yes, they live, she goes to stay at home, plays with Kain's children and sleeps with him. However, for someone who is so bad at demonstrating their emotions, paper makes things a lot easier-

-I see, the paper...- Hitomi said, thinking about things.

-What's the matter, do you want to send letters to Viggo?- asked Aina cunningly -it seems that the descendants of alf like troublesome boys-

-I haven't said anything!- replied Hitomi in a loud tone of voice that everyone hears. Even the advisors who were surrounding Viggo. The latter fell silent and watched her.

Aina took the opportunity to look at them, put on a serious boss look and said in a strict tone -Is there nothing to do? Then don't go around crying if you delay the paperwork-

The advisers bowed their heads in shame and said goodbye to Viggo. The latter dismissed them all and the last and youngest of all, with cat ears and brown hair, gave him a kiss on the cheek. Viggo looked in all directions and hope no one saw him. It would be a bit difficult to explain the sudden fascination of someone you barely know. At first glance it seems that no one noticed it, but when his eyes matched Hitomi's, he realized that she looked at him with resentment. They held their gaze, but in the end, Hitomi turned his face elsewhere in a contemptuous gesture.

Viggo stroked his head, walked to the table, and sat on the other side.

-Viggo, please, don't come and mess my advisers- said Aina with a smile on her lips and focused on filling out the form on the table -or I'll have to stop you from entering the guild-

-Me, auntie, well, we were just talking- Viggo said in discomfort.

-Do all the girls who talk to you give you kisses?-

-Well...-

-Dirty- Hitomi said in a tone of voice full of resentment. Viggo looked at her and she turned her face away. At the same time, Aina let out a chuckle and wondered when it would pass.
