Chapter 119: The Enigmatic Affair of Snow Sky-Dog

At the Academy of the Gods - The World of the Gods

Snow Sky-Dog sat on a chair, holding a letter written by a very skillful hand. (The writing on the letter was beautiful! Perhaps it was written by a deity who patronized the art of literature.) Kurogami Masayuki noticed a mixture of inexplicable joy and extreme unease from the peculiar expression on Snow Sky-Dog's handsome face. Kurogami Masayuki approached Snow Sky-Dog and inquired:

"Is this another letter from Seraphina Frostwind?"

"No, it's not Seraphina Frostwind's letter, my dear brother!"

"Could it be from Mizuchi Haruka? The three of us are all in this room together. We meet each other every day, so why would she write to you? Does Mizuchi Haruka have so much free time to engage in such trivial matters?"

"This is not Mizuchi Haruka's letter either!"

"Then whose letter is it? You must tell me, Snow Sky-Dog!"

"It's a letter from the Goddess of Good Fortune, Aika Takara, the goddess who was once engaged to the wretched 'Steel Dragon' Ryujin Tetsu."

"What? Are you trying to provoke me, Snow Sky-Dog? How dare you behave so outrageously towards Mizuchi Haruka? Besides Mizuchi Haruka, you've also fallen for Seraphina Frostwind. This has turned into a complicated and tangled love triangle! Now you're intending to 'deal with' the Goddess of Good Fortune, Aika Takara? Snow Sky-Dog, you're fortunate to be a god! If you were a human in the Human World, the devil's minions would probably drag you down to hell after your last breath! In hell, there's a special place for the disloyal and unserious in love like you! Snow Sky-Dog, tell me honestly, is it a love letter? Did the Goddess of Good Fortune, Aika Takara, write those words?"

Tension crept onto Snow Sky-Dog's face. He deliberately avoided Kurogami Masayuki's judgmental and probing gaze. He spoke in a very soft voice.

"You're right! It's a love letter! The Goddess of Good Fortune, Aika Takara, confessed her feelings for me in this letter. But things are not as you think!"

"Snow Sky-Dog, you're truly despicable!"

"Kurogami Masayuki, don't react so vehemently and instinctively! I was walking in the academy's garden. I happened to encounter the Goddess of Good Fortune, Aika Takara. She was in a very unstable emotional state. She needed someone to talk to. I just listened to her for a bit! I didn't seduce her! But then she fell in love with me!"

"Snow Sky-Dog, I never believe your words. Even your casual greetings are likely to contain seductive phrases aimed at women! I'm not unfamiliar with this truth anymore! You're lucky, but wait, I'll go inform Mizuchi Haruka! She's eating beef noodles at a restaurant in the Human World. You prepare your excuses for her. Don't waste your energy explaining to me!"

Kurogami Masayuki hastily left the Academy of the Gods and flew to the Human World to find Mizuchi Haruka. His indignation towards Snow Sky-Dog was evident on his face, too clear to conceal. (But he didn't need to!)

Snow Sky-Dog watched Kurogami Masayuki vanish into the sky. His expression showed contemplation and reflected creatively on the complex emotions affecting his mind. He held Aika Takara's letter in his hand, looking at it as if he were delving into the depths of his soul.

Snow Sky-Dog's heart was pounding, not with happiness, but with confusion. His emotions seemed to be embroiled in an internal struggle between duty and desire, loyalty and lust.

Aika Takara, the Goddess of Good Fortune, was not an ordinary woman. Her allure stemmed not only from her physical beauty but also from her spiritual strength and delicate charm. Yet Snow Sky-Dog knew that reciprocating her feelings would bring unintended consequences, not only for their relationship but also for his mission and honor.

He reluctantly folded the letter, carefully placing it in his breast pocket, then walked out of the room with heavy, contemplative steps. In his mind, thoughts and decisions needed to be made. Snow Sky-Dog's struggle was far from over, and his journey lay ahead, filled with challenges and difficult choices.

As he stepped out of the room, he encountered Aika Takara in a seductive pink outfit. (Perhaps this wasn't entirely coincidental but a clever arrangement by Aika Takara!)

"Good morning, Snow Sky-Dog! Have you read my letter? Do you find my handwriting beautiful? It took me quite some time to write it!"

"Haizza, Goddess of Good Fortune, Aika Takara, I have read it! Honestly, your handwriting is exquisite. It's as beautiful as that of artists! But I don't know how to respond to the content of the letter. You've put me in a difficult situation! You know that Mizuchi Haruka and Seraphina Frostwind are both my girlfriends. I'm in a complicated and conflicting love triangle. So why do you still want to be my girlfriend? What is it about me that earns such favor from you, in terms of character, virtue, and capability?"

Aika Takara didn't reply but responded with a beautiful smile, radiant as a red rose.

Snow Sky-Dog felt perplexed by Aika Takara's silence. His steps slowed, yet his mind was still filled with complex thoughts.

The red roses by the roadside fluttered in the wind as if telling of the pure beauty and allure of love. In the serene space, the church bells rang, creating a gentle melody that touched the hearts of those who heard it.

Snow Sky-Dog looked at Aika Takara, smiling gently as if conveying something distant in the soft breath of the morning.

"In a world full of difficulties and uncertainties, sometimes, luck isn't the only thing necessary. Perhaps, in moments of peace like this, we need to look at the beauty around us and let love emanate from sincere hearts. But perhaps, I won't be able to love you, Aika Takara!" Snow Sky-Dog calmly stated.

Aika Takara listened, her eyes sparkling like stars in the sky. A gentle nod clarified her understanding and acceptance.

"We cannot control our emotions, Snow Sky-Dog! As for me, though I know this love may bring many risks and difficulties, my heart still leans toward you! It's not luck, but the choice of the heart," Aika Takara replied, her voice as gentle as the cool breeze of the morning.

These words drifted through the air like petals carried by the wind, bringing the fragrance of hope and love. Snow Sky-Dog and Aika Takara stood facing each other, in the dawn's light, like two souls sharing a sacred moment of life.

From that moment, a new story began, not a battle among the gods but a journey in search of true meaning and love in life.
