The Goddess Weeps Out of Anger

Not long after, a timid and angry scream rang out in the Temple, then there was a roar of magical power explosions.

　　Looks like someone has made a move in the temple.

　　Ryota was fixing his mood, disturbed by this news.

　　He opened his eyes with some doubt in his eyes.

　　During the day what happens?

　　Ryota couldn't contain his curiosity, and wanted to see what was going on. However, he didn't feel much evil emotion, after thinking about it, he decided to forget about it.

　　Take time to fix the mood first. However, he wanted to be silent, but someone didn't want him to be silent.

　　A swift sound breaking through the air came from outside.

　　Explosion!

　　The wall in front of the room exploded.

　　Golden light came in, it was Ishtar's attack.

　　The magic condensed attacks flew towards him like cannonballs.

　　But soon it slowly stagnated under the influence of the time domain, and finally turned into pure magic power and spread into the room, churning the air for bursts of explosions.

　　"Ishtar, what are you doing?" Ryota looked at the crumbling wall: "Today's way of greeting is a bit too warm."

　　"Who greeted you!"

　　Ishtar entered through a broken hole in the wall.

　　"Tell me! What happened?"

　　"What happened?" Ryota wondered.

　　"Don't play dumb!" Ishtar said with anger on her face, "Just last night, why did I do those things?"

　　"What?" Ryota asked.

　　"You still dare to ask me?" Ishtar was furious.

　　"I still think that you take good care of me. You bastard, did you let Misaki manipulate my body while I was asleep, and run to do lots of embarrassing things!"

　　"You say those things…"

　　Ryota understood, and said speechlessly: "Don't rely on me so casually, I can let Misaki manipulate your body to do those things, I can guarantee this with my personality."

　　"Your personality? Heh..." Ishtar looked disdainful: "You think I'll believe you?"

　　"Believe it or not," Ryota shrugged, "That's the truth."

　　"Hmph! Then tell me why I did that last night!"

　　Ishtar gritted her teeth and said: "Don't use sleepwalking to fool people!"

　　"Of course it's not sleepwalking," Ryota suddenly smiled, "I know the reason, but why should I tell you?"

　　"I will kill you!" Ishtar threatened.

　　"Then you should try."

　　Ryota's momentum increased slightly.

　　Ishtar: "..."

　　"Bastard," She couldn't help cursing, "You are such a bastard!"

　　"Tsk, think about what you've done, don't act like a victim."

　　Ryota got up from the bed and patted Ishtar on the shoulder.

　　"It's fine if you want me to tell you the truth, as long as the agreement is void."

　　"Oh? You remind me."

　　Hearing this, Ishtar's anger subsided a bit, and her face returned to its complacency:

　　"They haven't returned to the safe house! The things you want to hide are still threatening you now, I will tell them now!"

　　After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the hole in the broken wall.

　　Ryota grabbed her wrist.

　　"Wait."

　　"Why are you afraid?"

　　Ishtar looked back at Ryota's gaze.

　　"I thought you were fearless, who told you to bully! You can tell me the truth you know right away if you want me to give up. And, now that the conditions have changed, you must kiss the back of my feet ten times… no, a hundred times! Only then can I forgive you and let go. "

　　"... I didn't expect that you never learned, and you dare to threaten me?"

　　Ryota showed a speechless expression and said: "Ishtar, you sure are tough..."

　　"Stop talking nonsense!" Ishtar shouted, "You agree or you don't!"

　　"Is it because I promised you won't tell them?" Ryota asked carefully.

　　"Sure," Ishtar took the opportunity to scold: "This Goddess is different from you, disgraceful man. I really appreciate the promise! As long as you promise me, I will comply with your conditions…"

　　"But I refuse!"

　　Ryota said in a loud voice.

　　"What...?"

　　Ishtar blinked, as if she had not reacted.

　　"I said, I refuse." Ryota snorted: "My favorite thing, Asakawa Ryota, is saying 'no' to those who think they are superior."

　　"..." The corners of Ishtar's eyes twitched: "You have gone mad? I threatened you, don't you understand?"

　　"You can't threaten me because you can't get out of this room."

　　Ryota said in a casual tone: "If you dare to do that, I will drop you right now, and then dump you in a random place. After they leave, I will wake you up again."

　　Ishtar: "..."

　　She blushed with anger.

　　"How can you be so shameless!"

　　Ryota chuckled "That's quite shameless."

　　"..."

　　"Stop messing around, Ishtar, you can only agree to my terms."

　　Ryota said: "It's impossible for me to kiss your instep, so you must obey. And..."

　　He glanced up and down at Ishtar's slender body, focused on her legs, and threatened in turn:

　　"If you threaten me again, I might do something rude to you. I will tell you that your body will not be able to take it."

　　"Who are you threatening!" Ishtar said disdainfully: "You coward. I fell asleep last night, and you didn't dare to take the last step, and even brought me back… You think I will believe you?"

　　"..." Ryota showed a somewhat subtle expression.

　　Does this person think so...

　　"How do you know I didn't make it to the last step?" Ryota smiled mysteriously "Guess? Then you really have a big heart."

　　"Stop scaring people!" Ishtar said: "I have checked everything, and now my whole body is intact."

　　After saying this, she suddenly blushed. However, she quickly adjusted and scolded: "You coward!"

　　"Ishtar, you forgot one thing." Ryota reminded: "My soul power can repair wounds, whether it's my own or someone else's, it can be repaired."

　　"...What do you mean?"

　　"This is so obvious, don't you understand?" Ryota smiled: "Could it be that after I did something like that to you, I repaired your wound again? And wash you clean, including there…"

　　He looked down and glanced at Ishtar's stomach.

　　Ishtar: "..."

　　She felt a little guilty.

　　"You must be lying. Who will believe it?" She curled her lips.

　　 Ryota shrugged: "Believe it or not. And even if you don't believe it, so what? After all, you would never doubt that I would knock you out, and then wake you up after they returned to the safe house."

　　"...You shameful bastard! You really can do it."

　　Ishtar gritted her teeth.

　　 Ryota spread his hands "you can only agree to my terms."

　　"..." Ishtar fell silent.

　　Damn it, she really doesn't want to!

　　Definitely a good opportunity. But Ryota doesn't play his cards according to routine, and she can't help him.

　　The two of them had come to a stalemate like this.

　　After waiting for a while, Ishtar finally chose to compromise.

　　What can she do, she is also very desperate.

　　"I promise you!"

　　Ishtar almost gritted her teeth and said these words.

　　"That's good."

　　Ryota nodded in satisfaction, and taking advantage of his height, he reached out and stroked her head.

　　"You have to tell me what happened." Ishtar opened her arms, "Why did I do something embarrassing last night? You really don't let Misaki control me?"

　　Even though normally it was difficult for the girl to attack her spirits, it was different when she was sleeping.

　　"Of course not, I haven't acted like that," Ryota replied.

　　Even so, he would definitely do so if given the chance. The main difficulty is that Misaki may not agree.

As for hypocrisy... Those who want to open the harem have a thick skin, they can throw away their integrity, who cares about hypocrisy?

　　Of course, Ryota wouldn't say anything about the situation.

　　"Ishtar, do you remember your big sister?"

　　"Why did you mention her?" Ishtar asked confusedly, "Does this have anything to do with her?"

　　"Yeah," Ryota nodded, "Actually, when your believer called you, you weren't the only god who descended, but also your sister. You merged with this body soul at the same time, and your sister is now in the underworld. During the day, this body is controlled by you, and at night, your big sister can control the body if she wants."

　　"It turned out like this..."

　　Istar's eyes widened, she was very surprised. At the same time, some doubts were also resolved.

　　No wonder her memory is often blurred at night.

　　Originally thought that humans would fall into a deep sleep when their bodies were tired, but she didn't expect to be squeezed out of line.

　　"Stealing other people's bodies... What a hateful person!"

　　After Ishtar cursed, she asked: "Did she control my body last night?"

　　"That's right," Ryota nodded: "I made a suggestion, and then bewitched Ereshkigal, so she did."

　　Ishtar: "..."

　　A fist appeared before Ryota's eyes.

　　The air exploded and shook, but Ryota was safe and sound.

　　The small fist stopped very close to his body.

　　"You bastards! Let go of your guard and let me hit you a few times!" Ishtar shouted.

　　"I have no tendency to be masochistic," Ryota pouted "I admit, I did go too far, but who told you to provoke me first? Let's just forget about it."

　　"Don't even think about it!" Ishtar said with an endless expression, "I have to teach you a lesson!"

　　"You can't beat me."

　　"..."

　　Ishtar blushed, not out of embarrassment, but out of anger. She couldn't help but scream: "Why do you always bully me!"

　　"Don't be a villain who demands first, it's you…"

　　In the middle of talking, Ryota suddenly stopped. Because he noticed the corners of Ishtar's eyes had become slightly moist.

　　Although it wasn't clear, it was there, and he didn't ignore it.

　　Wasn't this person literally crying out of anger?

　　Ah this...

　　"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I went too far."

　　Ryota breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer hated Ishtar, instead he comforted her.

　　"I won't bully you anymore, don't cry."

　　"Cry?"

　　Ishtar was taken aback, and subconsciously touched the corner of her eye. When she felt a little wet, her face suddenly reddened.

　　She turned around quickly, hiding the embarrassment on her face.

　　She is so incompetent!

　　"D-Don't get me wrong, the wind was a bit strong earlier, so..."

　　"Apparently the wind was a bit strong, that is." Ryota nodded, and agreed: "The wind is quite strong. I guess the sea breeze blows here. Tiamat should get up soon, and there was a big commotion."

　　"..."

　　Hearing that, Ishtar's embarrassment lessened.

　　She lost face today!

　　"I don't need you to let me go!" Ishtar didn't dare to look back, so she said, "Hmph… you win this time! Just you wait, when my strength surpasses yours, I must make you look good!"

　　Ryota didn't say anything.

　　According to the speed at which her strength was increasing, the day Ishtar had been waiting for would never come.

　　But she wouldn't say that.

　　Ishtar was so angry she was crying, and she felt very satisfied.

　　This lesson even slightly over the mark.

　　"Ishtar." Ryota suddenly called out.

　　"What?" Ishtar's tone was agitated.

　　"Sorry, I went too far."

　　As Ryota said, he grabbed Ishtar's shoulders with both hands, turned her around, and faced her, then said: "I will fulfill the agreement, so this is my compensation."

　　"..." Ishtar was stunned for a moment, then said kindly: "Really?"

　　"Half truth."

　　"What does it mean?"

　　"it means..."

　　Ryota grabbed Ishtar's right hand and lifted it up. Then, in a chivalrous salute, he kissed the back of the white hand. Then he raised his head and said with a smile: "That's fine?"

　　"..."

　　Ishtar's cheeks were red, she tilted her head slightly and said:

　　"That's a great idea, the bar has been lowered entirely on its own. Hmph, let me off you now."

　　Ryota ignored her arrogant remark.

　　Tsundere.

　　The other side.

　　Ishtar maintained her flushed cheeks, pulled her hands back a little nervously, and hid them behind her.

　　"I'll go first, you can do your own thing."

　　After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the broken wall. But as soon as she took a step, she was pulled back by Ryota again.

　　"Hah?" Ishtar was taken aback, and quickly turned around and said, "I already acknowledged the surrender ceremony, y-you don't have to do it again."

　　"No," Ryota shook his head, "I just wanted to ask if you could stay with me for a while."

　　"Eh...?"

　　Ishtar had just faded some blush, and was soon blushing again.

　　"W-why are you saying something like that all of a sudden?"

　　Her eyes dodged, and her face was slightly unnatural.

　　"Because I really want to be with you," Ryota asked again: "Is it okay?"

　　"Even if you say that… I-I'll stay for a bit, just for a bit!"

　　Facing Ryota's serious eyes, Ishtar compromised due to her embarrassment.

　　Ryota started to improve his mood, while Ishtar looked at him boredly, her eyes slightly dazed.

　　She thought about why Ryota would say such a thing.

　　That doesn't make sense...

　　He couldn't just like her, right?

　　Who would bully the person they like into tears of anger!

　　Suddenly, Ishtar thought of a possibility.

　　Wait, this guy... Could he be holding herself because he's afraid she'll go to Misaki and the others to tell it?

　　"..."

　　The more Ishtar thought about it, the more likely it was. But before she got mad, she had to verify it first.

　　Thinking of this, she said: "Shiro, I have something to return to the temple."

　　After she finished speaking, she quickly walked towards the cave entrance.

　　"Wait..."

　　Ryota's screams came from behind her, but Ishtar pretended not to hear it, and kept up a very fast pace.

　　She leaves the house.

　　Just then, her speed started to slow down, and continued to slow down, like being stuck in a quagmire.

　　Ryota uses the domain to forcefully stop her!

　　"..."

　　Ishtar understood, Ryota really thought so.

　　The guess is fully verified.

　　"Bastard! You really don't believe me, I'll kill you!!"

　　...

　　After one day.

　　Misaki and the others main quest is over. However, they did not immediately choose to return.

　　Making the most of the last hour they could stay, everyone bid their farewells to Ryota and Ishtar.

　　"Let's go home first," said Misaki in a worried tone, "Shiro-chan, be careful in everything."

　　Hayasaka asked Ryota: "How much time do you have? I don't think you've completed the main quest yet."

　　"Actually, the main quest can be carried out now, but..."

Ryota shook his head: "It's a bit difficult to start now, so I'm waiting for the right time to come."

　　"How long?" Hayasaka kept asking.

　　"I'm not sure about this. I can only tell you that it won't take more than a month… No, it's been 23 days now."

　　"Still a long time..."

　　"Don't worry about the time, Hayasaka." Ryota smiled and reminded: "Although it looks very relaxed, we are currently on an adventure. It doesn't matter how long it's been here, upon returning, it will be within an hour. So we will meet soon."

　　"Ai is so stupid, she can't understand such a simple truth."

　　Misaki took the opportunity to hit Hayasaka.

　 Hayasaka said: "You care too much for Shiro-chan, I didn't notice it, not like someone who is selfish and only minding her own business."

　　Misaki: "..."

　　She slightly suspected that Hayasaka had framed her specifically.

　　Otherwise, how could she reply so quickly?

　　"Why are you still arguing at this time?" Ryota stopped the two of them, then said: "Don't worry about me, just wait for my good news."

　　Everyone said goodbye one by one.

　　When it was Inaho's turn, he suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Don't you dare."

　　"..."

　　It won't show... Ryota isn't sure.

　　"Don't worry, I have a size."

　　That was all he could say. Then a white light flashed, and everyone disappeared in front of him.

　　A stone in Ryota's heart finally fell to the ground, and he relaxed. But quickly tightened again, because he knew that the real trouble was coming.
