Chapter 293: Womanizer

Perseus POV

"Hmm, that is a difficult situation to be in." Dawn commented.

Meira went for some air because she was still very shaken at seeing me, and so I just took the opportunity to explain my situation to the sun goddess.

"I'm trying to see everything from your perspective, but unfortunately I'm not that smart, I would suggest letting it play out, but that'll take too long, assassinating Phineas will also waste your time and put you at risk." she responded, "I'd say you should just use your wealth to upgrade the equipment your village uses so that they can at least hold out till you come back if they were attacked while you're gone.

"That is the least riskiest way to go about it, instead of going on offense, you might want to change your way of thinking and go defensive instead. You have 2 goddesses with you, and you know enchantments now, it'll be easier for you to go a defensive route instead of dealing with the war."

"What if a god attacks? Isfrid and Saber aren't necessarily on good terms with me, and both the goddesses I know want to come to this side because they find it exciting."

"Then you'll have 2 choices," she answered "It's either to get Maple to convince both of them to back off while you're gone or convince one of them to protect your village from a divine attack while you're gone either way, you will have to get them to swear an oath, the first choice is easier, but if it doesn't work, you'll have the second more desperate option."

I'm now pondering upon the options given to me, it's simple enough, and yet it ain't that bad of an idea cuz it might actually work and it's not like I got anything else going on right now, but I'm gonna need to buy a lot of materials in bulk, so I'm gonna have Zach do of work.

I'll be essentially like lose all my net worth for this plan, but that's the easy part since I gotta have either both the god back off or have one protect the continent in Maple's place. Despite her being a weaker goddess, she's still a protector of the continent.

And the oath should protect the continent as a whole in the first place, but it's been so long that I'm scared it may not hold as much value.

"Aren't you going to give me a kiss as a prize?" she asked

"Like on the cheek?"

"Lips, cheeks, forehead, anywhere else...I don't mind."

"You need serious help, you do know that I'm dating your daughters, right?"

"And you're the man who got lust so insatiable that you are dating several women at the same time."

"Lust? No, more like the prideful greedy guy, but point taken."

"I'm going to check on Meira, wait for a moment."

Meira got back and Dawn made sure she was really okay before we can proceed any further with our conversation. Hopefully, Leilah doesn't use her smell thing again, cuz she can somehow smell Ruka before despite it being in a dream.

Her ability is kinda creepy, but I'll bet it'll be really useful if I want to track an opponent, she probably got a better nose than Buddy, I then brought that subject up with Dawn who denied Leilah possibly having the ability to smell like that, it was impossible to even for Dawn herself, and she's a goddess.

"Well... unfortunately it's true, but let's get back on the topic of how I can handle your daughters."

"Since when did you have children again?" Meira asked

"I've always had children, what do you mean?" Dawn asked

"That's why I said again, otherwise you won't need Luke here to be the babysitter."

"Oh, you're misunderstanding, he's dating my daughters, one of which was the woman who visited you."

"Was that why she was grumpy?"

Dawn nodded.

"Was that why you call him a womanizer?" Meira asked

"Not a very good one." Dawn nodded again, "But he is somehow successful."

"Perseus, how could you?!" Meira demanded.

"What did I do?"

"You're dating several women!"

"And? That's like every guy's dream."

"You're dating her daughters! Did you not know that she was in my body when we were dating?! It's like you're dating the daughters of your ex."

"Look Meira, I'm sure that you're a good person who's gonna lecture me with great intentions, but it's like way too late, I'm a real horrible guy, you're seriously better off just judging me quietly. I mean, I literally broke the bro code."

"Oh I told my brother about us after you died, I think he called you a lot of slurs before saying every great thing about you. You guys have a weird friendship."

"I know, besides you're weird too, as miserable as I was, I understood why everyone stood clear of me, I'm a murderer who has killed tons and tons of people, some of which wasn't even out of self-defense."

"Well, you lived in a messed up place, no one should blame you."

"But they did. At least my life is much better now, you usually won't say death can be a blessing, but it was for me, my love life improved somewhat and I got a proper family now."

"Why can't you be this aggressive with Leilah and Lilith?" Dawn asked, "Being stern helps."

"No, that won't work, they'll only be more into it."

Ruka POV

"He's still sleeping, should I be worried?" Nyra asked

"He should be fine, he's currently talking with my mother."

"The sun goddess?"

"Yes."

"Are you not afraid of him saying something to offend your mother?"

"No, she's very think skinned."

That is strange, usually, it doesn't take this long, and the longer it takes, the more dangerous it is because it's his mental health that's taking damage.

"If you want, I can enter his dreams and try to hasten the process," I offered, "Though I doubt it'll be too useful, he's just seeking advice, nothing strange should be going on."

But Leilah is acting strange, and I have a weird sense of trust in her unusual smelling sense, so...I can go in just to help everyone feel okay.
