Chapter 106: Whispers of Divinity: Between Two Worlds

"Snow Sky-Dog, why do you look so thoughtful today? In just a few days, we will journey to the castle of the Divine Blacksmith Takumi no Kami to receive three incredibly powerful weapons crafted specifically for us. This is a privilege and an honor that only the three of us gods have in this academy. So you should be excited! Why do you look so downcast, Snow Sky-Dog? Come on, cheer up!"

"Eldest brother, Kurogami Masayuki, I am pondering my love triangle with two beautiful women, Mizuchi Haruka, and Seraphina Frostwind. Yesterday, I had breakfast at Seraphina Frostwind's home. The food she prepared was delicious, and she looked truly enchanting in the morning! While having breakfast with Seraphina Frostwind, I wondered if having a small family with her as my wife would make me the happiest god in the Divine Realm. But a few days ago, I had a date with Mizuchi Haruka. Although her 'Magic Moles' no longer affect my mind, she still looks very charming and feminine. With Mizuchi Haruka, I also asked myself a similar question: If Mizuchi Haruka became my wife, how happy would my family life be with her?"

"Oh, so that's it! This is the price you pay for loving two beautiful women at the same time, Snow Sky-Dog! I'm not here to chat with you about this anymore, Snow Sky-Dog! You stay here and contemplate this, while I, I will go have a few drinks at the tavern I often visit."

"Poor god, especially when his heart is torn between two special women," Snow Sky-Dog whispered to himself as Kurogami Masayuki left.

In Snow Sky-Dog's mind, the images of Mizuchi Haruka and Seraphina Frostwind appeared vividly like living paintings. Mizuchi Haruka, with her magic moles and enchanting beauty, harboring mysterious power. And Seraphina Frostwind, with her excellent cooking skills and pure beauty like snow. Both women were special in his life.

Snow Sky-Dog looked out at the serene scenery of the garden, but his mind was in turmoil. He felt like he was standing between two worlds, between two different paths, and he didn't know which one to choose. Is a god's life only about glory and power? Or is it also about love and personal happiness?

"A few days from now, when we arrive at the castle of the Divine Blacksmith Takumi no Kami, perhaps the answer will be found," Snow Sky-Dog thought silently. "But until then, what should I do?"

While Snow Sky-Dog was lost in thought, Mizuchi Haruka entered the room.

"Hey, Snow Sky-Dog, today is a day off for all students in this academy. We're all free today, so how about you come to the Human Realm beach with me? I know a beach with stunning scenery in the Human Realm. And the most interesting thing for you might be to admire my beauty when I wear a swimsuit! Interested, Snow Sky-Dog?"

Upon hearing these words from Mizuchi Haruka, Snow Sky-Dog seemed to lose all the calmness that he rarely lost on ordinary days - the calmness he had to train and develop for a long time to achieve.

"What? What did you say, Mizuchi Haruka?"

Mizuchi Haruka smiled charmingly, her sea-blue eyes seeming to mesmerize Snow Sky-Dog.

"So, what do you think, Snow Sky-Dog?"

Snow Sky-Dog looked into Mizuchi Haruka's eyes, where beauty and allure radiated irresistibly. His heart pounded, but in his mind, there was a conflict between determination and worry.

"I... I don't know," Snow Sky-Dog listened to the strong heartbeat in his chest, but his consciousness was still wavering between the two paths.

Mizuchi Haruka chuckled softly, approaching Snow Sky-Dog and gently placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Snow Sky-Dog. In this life, you don't always have to make decisions right away. Let everything unfold naturally, and when the time comes, you will know which path is right for you."

Mizuchi Haruka's words were like a gentle breeze soothing the unrest in Snow Sky-Dog's mind. He looked into her eyes and felt sincerity and warmth.

"Thank you, Mizuchi Haruka. I will think more about your proposal," Snow Sky-Dog said with a gentle smile, feeling lighter in his heart.

Mizuchi Haruka nodded, smiling, then left the room, leaving Snow Sky-Dog with his thoughts. In his heart, a new ray of hope appeared, and he began to feel that, despite the complexities and hesitations in life, some people and words could help him find the right direction.

Sometime later, Snow Sky-Dog got up from his seat. He hurried after Mizuchi Haruka.

"Hey, Mizuchi Haruka..."

"What's up, Snow Sky-Dog?"

"I think I shouldn't let you go to the beach alone! There can be too many dangers that can harm you, too many troubles that, when they come to you, it would be much better if I were there to support you! So, I've decided to go to the beach with you."

Mizuchi Haruka smiled, her beautiful sea-blue eyes sparkling with the triumph of victory.

"Isn't it because you enjoy going to the beach with me? Many gods have told me that I look beautiful in any outfit, even swimsuits. So, I think you wouldn't want to miss the chance to admire my beauty!"

Snow Sky-Dog had nothing to argue with against Mizuchi Haruka's accurate words. But he still smiled happily. He replied to Mizuchi Haruka:

"Let's just say you're right, Mizuchi Haruka! In this hot weather, going to the beach with a beautiful and charming goddess like you is wonderful! Let's go, Mizuchi Haruka!"

Mizuchi Haruka lightly patted Snow Sky-Dog's shoulder, and both of them walked out of the room, ready to start a new adventure on the beach. Under the radiant sunlight, they laughed and chatted happily on their way to the beach.

As their feet sank into the fine white sand and the waves gently lapped at the shore, Snow Sky-Dog couldn't help but marvel at the stunning beauty of the scenery before him. Mizuchi Haruka, in her glamorous swimsuit, shone under the sunlight, like a sea goddess.

Both of them jumped into the sea, feeling the gentle sensation of the cool seawater. Amidst the soft waves, they enjoyed peaceful moments, forgetting all worries and anxieties in their lives.

As dawn approached, Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka were still enjoying the wonderful moments on the beach. In their minds, questions still awaited answers, but now they felt happy and immersed in the beauty of nature.

A new adventure had begun, and Snow Sky-Dog would continue to search for answers to his questions, alongside the help and support from special companions like Mizuchi Haruka and Seraphina Frostwind.

On the tranquil beach, Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka created a beautiful and meaningful moment together, a moment that Snow Sky-Dog would always remember and cherish.

With each moment spent on the beach with Mizuchi Haruka, Snow Sky-Dog felt a strong emotion of love welling up in his heart. But he also suddenly remembered Seraphina Frostwind. It seemed that these two fascinating images kept him in inner turmoil.

"Snow Sky-Dog, what are you thinking about? Relax, we're at the beach! If there's something important, save it for later and enjoy the moment with a beautiful goddess like me, shouldn't you? Or do you not think I'm a beautiful goddess?"

Snow Sky-Dog was entranced by Mizuchi Haruka's beauty, the beauty he had admired and cherished. But in his heart, he still felt a part of himself adrift, dreaming of a future he couldn't be sure of.

"No, Mizuchi Haruka, you truly are a beautiful goddess," Snow Sky-Dog said, trying to force a smile but in his eyes, there was still a cold light of doubt and concern. "It's just... I feel like there are some things I need to think about more."

Mizuchi Haruka stared at Snow Sky-Dog, her eyes shining with understanding and concern.

"If something is bothering you, Snow Sky-Dog, tell me! I'm always ready to listen and help you!"

Snow Sky-Dog felt warmth and care from Mizuchi Haruka, but sometimes, choices aren't always easy.

"Thank you, Mizuchi Haruka! But perhaps this is an inner struggle that I must face and resolve on my own."

Mizuchi Haruka nodded, smiling gently.

"That's right, Snow Sky-Dog! Everyone has to find the answers for themselves. Just know that I'm here to support you wherever and in whatever circumstances!"

Both continued to enjoy each other's company on the beach, where they could set aside all thoughts and worries and just enjoy the present moment. Under the golden sunlight, Snow Sky-Dog felt his heart comforted and encouraged by Mizuchi Haruka's presence.

As the sun began to set, the two decided to return to the academy, carrying newfound joy and hope within them. For Snow Sky-Dog, the new adventure had only just begun, and he would never stop searching for answers to the questions in his mind, alongside the help and support from special companions like Mizuchi Haruka and Seraphina Frostwind.
