Scarblade Goddess 30 Chapter 29

"The heroes are Na.s.sus and Miro...".

"Wait, WHAT?!",

Lilieth was flabbergasted. She had stopped fiddling on her phone, as she heard something that was quite out of hand. Since, the heroes are the said criminals or Fallens for crying out loud. Lilieth tried to straighten the situation, so she asked,

"So you're telling me there's a CHOSEN HERO enlisted on your world? NOT ONE BUT, TWO AS WELL?! I thought that the world of the two of yours don't have a chosen hero now? Since, both of you are doing the roles of the heroes too.".

Lilieth insisted her stand,

"That can't be true right?".

Soon, Yumine showed her smartphone to Lilieth. At the screen, Lilieth saw both images of Miro and little Na.s.sus. Not only that, she was seeing tons of different information about them in some kind of unearthly language. Though, it was still filled with numbers and integers, as if they were computer data. Lilieth just sighed afterwards, since she can't do anything about it,

"I guess it's really legit. Only one thing that bothers me, when did you two allow both of them to become heroes in your world?".

Yumine just replied unsurely,

"Honestly, we don't remember bestowing them of our blessings this time around.".

Lilieth was still mystified as ever. She crossed her arms and expressed her opinion, regarding the unusual incident,

"Now that's strange. Maybe the app just had another freaking bug, as it just reflected its old data, since Na.s.sus was your hero before...".

Yumine just didn't mind it that much,

"Might be...".

While for Otorine, she was puzzled over the information she had seen. Although, she was wearing a dazzling smile, as she was filled with happiness. She shut her eyes and she was engrossed inside her thoughts,

"So Na.s.sus is one of our heroes again at this moment huh. Though, why is it that his stats and other things are, undefined?".

There after, she asked herself deep in her thoughts,

"What's going on?".

As for young Na.s.sus, he was looking at Otorine yet, he was staring at Otorine's bountiful b.r.e.a.s.t.s with great focus for some reason. He looked-like, as he was truly a curious kid who wanted to grab a melon for the first time.

"They're really huge!",

as he was absorbed in his tiny thoughts. While for Miro's case, his hands and eyes were busy on the baggage, making sure if all of the learning materials they had bought were all there. Although, when he overheard something strange from Otorine's and Yumine's discussion, he was surprised deep in his thoughts,

"Wait, I'm a hero again as well as Na.s.sus?".

He s.h.i.+fted his gaze at the young Na.s.sus who seemed interested of grabbing Otorine's melons of great volume. Miro gulped, as he had laid eyes of the curious Na.s.sus who wanted to do something indecent. Thereon, Miro was worried deep in his thoughts,

"Uh oh...That look on his face could mean business. I won't do that if I were you Na.s.sus, even though it's your Ori we're talking about.".

Back at Otorine and Yumine's situation, they just didn't mind that mind-boggling information. They were now fiddling and tapping their smartphones to their hearts content. Though, Yumine can't still go over the fact of that strange data, making her to be engrossed in her thoughts,

"Okay, that info we've just seen was pretty disturbing alright.".

Sooner or later, she tapped both of her cheeks gently, in order for her to stop being worried. She sighed and told her friend with a low tone,

"Say Ori? I think we should do our jobs now...".

Otorine replied,

"Y-yeah.".

Sooner or later, both of them were looking through their smarthphone's screen. They were seeing a live video of actual people working hard, while their faces were filled with content and enjoyment. Some of them were fis.h.i.+ng. The others were sailing on their boats, as they were grabbing the gemstones that were floating above the sea. From the distance, Yumine and Otorine looked-like they were true G.o.ddesses. They were about to do something for their world, while they were engrossed of their smartphone's screen. Soon, Otorine tapped the hovering spherical gla.s.s icon. It has an image that looked-like a benevolent hand holding out a ball of light. Moreover, below it has the text, GIVE BLESSINGS. After a few minutes, there were lots of glistening gemstones that appeared across the sea. The seafarers rejoiced as they had seen that the sea was even more dazzling than ever before. Since, they'll have a better harvest, thanks to their G.o.ddess's blessing. Though, Otorine felt kinda worried, deep in her thoughts,

"I hope n.o.body would dare dive into the sea that's filled with solid gems though.".

While for Yumine, she wasn't really-looking at a live video. Instead, she was looking at the information about Miro for some reason. Not only that, she was breathing heavily and her cat ears were twitching non-stop such as she was stalking someone's social media profile.

"So that's MIRO'S FAVORITE food huh?",

as she was absorbed in her thoughts. The next moment, her phone's screen blacked out. Her satisfied smile was no more and she sighed with a depressed look afterwards. Yumine put down her phone and asked Otorine,

"By the way Ori, could you dictate our world's info? My app froze again. Ugh! I really need to buy an upgraded model.".

Otorine replied,

"Yeah sure...".

She swiped her phone's screen to the left. There, she saw lots of detailed information about the statistics of their world in an unknown language. Otorine took a deep breathe. She told the full info to Yumine,

"World app version is 69...World name is Uminoya...Owners.h.i.+p, Otorine and Yumine...Civilization stage is 0...Pioneers of civilization are h.o.m.o Umiro...".

She catched her breath and continued to tell profusely,

"Faith percentage is 89...Divine influence percentage is 88...People's stress percentage is 11...Lifestyle stability, normal...Number of religions, 1...Crisis level is E...Number of Nations is 4...Whole nation status is peaceful...".

It looked-like Yumine was just after the vital information, as her face was ridden in a disturbing look,

"Ori that's—.".

Sadly, Otorine failed to hear Yumine's soft plea and Otorine continued to tell the info,

"Monster ratio percentage is 10...Light value is 65 percent...Darkness value is 35 percent...Resources status, great...World status is okay...Environment status is non-contaminated...Otherworldly threats is 2 percent...".

As Otorine was finished telling all of the info, she took a deep breath. She witnessed that Yumine's eyebrows were twitching and Yumine was masking a forced smile. Though, Yumine just sighed and said,

"Y-yeah, thanks for that.".

Although, she was still disturbed deep in her thoughts,

"Honestly, I just need some important info and not the FULL CHOCK OF CHOCOLATES pushed down my throat, geez Ori!".

Yumine brought out her phone again, as it was functioning smoothly again. Yumine was relieved. A little while later, she was deciding inside her thoughts. Then, she suggested Otorine,

"Say Ori, while I think sending monsters to a little kid that's not yet fully capable could be, err ya know...cruel? Even though, Miro is capable of protecting your little Na.s.sus here.".

It appeared Yumine was in-charge of summoning monsters in order to train the chosen hero/heroine to his/her full potential, as it was one of the roles of a dark G.o.ddess. Otorine didn't mind that measly problem that much, so she just replied back,

"I guess—.".

Suddenly, Otorine had paused for a second, as she felt that someone had groped her breast. She looked down to her right. Her eyes noticed that the youthful Na.s.sus was squis.h.i.+ng her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. He was squeezing her melon such as it was a huge fluffy and soft marshmallow of divine sensation,

"They're soft and squishy!".

Otorine was frozen into shock and she was fl.u.s.tered too. Then, she expressed like a shy teenage high school girl to Na.s.sus,

"NNa.s.sUS?!".

The others were also shocked that little Na.s.sus was holding Otorine's nice rack.

The air was seeped in deafening silence, as little Na.s.sus did something weird. Miro scratched the back of his head. He went near them and told them,

"Okay, I think I should teach him on how to handle women first...".

Lilieth just replied straight,

"Y-yeah, you should do that.".

Then, Miro lifted Na.s.sus away from Otorine's range. Then, he dragged Na.s.sus and they went to another table. As for Na.s.sus, he expressed like a demanding crybaby,

"But I wanna touch 'em more!".

Yumine sighed, as she heard the budding Na.s.sus's pathetic plea. Afterwards, she expressed her opinion,

"And not to mention, sending a clueless kid who just GROPES b.r.e.a.s.t.s would be a stupid idea...".

Lilieth agreed with Yumine's statement. A little while later, Yumine was listening to some catchy tunes through her headphones that had cat-like ear design. It seemed it was appropriate for a G.o.ddess who was half-cat and girl to have that kind of cute and weird headphones. Soon, Yumine spoke, as if she was reminiscing the past,

"Na.s.sus, a hero again huh? This made me remember that time again Ori. Honestly speaking, we screwed up big time before, didn't we? When we tried to enter our world by utilizing our phones instead of our transfer cards, right?".

Otorine replied back with a funny smile,

"Yeah, and our divine powers were stripped out temporarily, since the app bugged itself...".

Yumine responded by recalling some bits of the past,

"And we were running away from our own villagers because they wanted to kill us, as said by that d*mn ambitious empress...".

At the other table, Miro was teaching Na.s.sus using a book, although little Na.s.sus was frozen in shock, as young Na.s.sus overheard the terms Otorine and Yumine had conversed. He recalled the terms they had said,

"Villagers...running away...empress...G.o.ddess.".

Soon, little Na.s.sus looked-like he was in a trance. His mind had submerged to his inner sea of memories, relieving his past life. Following the events after the adult Na.s.sus had carried off the slumbering woman like a princess. The rain was still pouring heavily and only the clouded darkness was seen from the woods. Na.s.sus noticed that her mysterious necklace was glowing and floating. He noticed that when he was about to take a different turn, the necklace had stopped glowing. He took a step back and the necklace was illuminating again. As he noticed that strange reaction of the necklace, he was absorbed in his thoughts,

"I don't know why her necklace glows but, I could feel this is my only way out of this crazy forest...".

Thereon, he rushed his way through the woods, letting the necklace act as a guide for him, even though he wasn't entirely sure. He took lots of turns in order to follow the reaction of the necklace such as it was an item-finder. Even though he was getting nearly exhausted, he pushed himself to the limits, while he was carrying the blue haired strange woman in his arms. As he continued running swiftly, he was seeing a crack of yellow light from the horizon. He continued straight and he was now out of the labyrinth-like forest. He was panting hard, as he was getting tired. His eys were glancing around and noticed that the whole place around him was a small j.a.panese-like village. He called for help,

"ANYONE THERE?! WE NEED HELP QUICK!".

An elderly man came out from his huge house and escorted them to his humble home. The whole place had a j.a.panese vibe, as there was only a mat, a few number of ornaments at the sides and a sliding door. Na.s.sus was no longer soaked and he was now sitting in-front of the old man. There were herbalists inside the place as well. Na.s.sus was given hospitality by the elderly man. The herbalists came and took the unconscious woman to the other side. They tended proper care to the unconscious woman afterwards. As Na.s.sus saw that the woman was being taken care of, he was relieved. It seemed the one who had came to their plea was the elder of the whole village. After a while, one of the herbalist came and told something to the elder. The elder just nodded. Then, the herbalist went back to her business. Na.s.sus thanked them,

"Thank you for accepting us.".

Though, he was still concerned for the well-being of the sleeping woman,

"By the way, when will she be cured?".

The elder had stopped drinking his rice wine and said,

"She'll restore her energy but—.".

The elder's look turned cold as the darkest abyss,

"I don't think you'll be able to see her anymore...".

Na.s.sus was flabbergasted,

"What do you mean?".

The next moment, there were men in samurai armor that appeared behind him and threatened him with their very long katanas; a long sword used by j.a.panese warriors.

"Tch!",

Na.s.sus wasn't pleased of the elder's death threat for him. He tried to unsheathe his blade, yet it's sharp body was broken, turning him to be p.i.s.sed deep in his thoughts,

"D*mn it! I forgot, that d*mned G.o.d broke my sword. Now I'm going to get killed in this new world he sent me!".

The air grew tense, as Na.s.sus's fate was sealed. Suddenly, a powerful smoke bomb burst inside, creating a thick white fog. The samurais were alarmed. Sadly, they can't see very well in the thick smoke that was unleashed around them, so the only thing they felt was a fast moving blade, cutting through their throats. Soon, a voice of a woman shouted at Na.s.sus,

"TAKE G.o.dDESS OTORINE WITH YOU!".

Na.s.sus thought that the woman he had carried was the woman named Otorine, so he s.n.a.t.c.hed her away, as per the unknown woman instructed. The visage of a woman made way for Na.s.sus, as she annihilated lots of samurais along the way with her swift movements. As the thick fog had ceased, the full form of the strong-looking Yumine was revealed. When Yumine saw that Na.s.sus was already carrying Otorine in his arms, she told him,

"NOW, FOLLOW ME!".

Yumine left the place and Na.s.sus followed on her tails. The other samurais were chasing them behind. Though, Yumine and Na.s.sus were slick on their movements so they were able to get away from their sights. Soon, they took a stop at an enchanted-looking spring. The rain had ceased as well. The whole place was basked in midnight.

"They won't find us here...",

Yumine expressed, as she was looking around. Na.s.sus took a rest, as he was really tired from all that running. He looked at the slumbering blue haired woman and he asked Yumine, as he had recalled something alarming to his ears,

"So you're telling me, she's a G.o.ddess?".

Yumine, just replied casually and her terror-filled eyes were no more,

"Yeah, she's a G.o.ddess just like me...".

Na.s.sus couldn't believe of what he had heard from her mouth, so he was absorbed in his thoughts,

"She's also G.o.ddess I see but, why was she or why were both of them running away?".

Yumine noticed that Na.s.sus was masking a look of doubt, so she said to him,

"If you're wondering of why were running from our own villagers, it's because of some ambitious empress who wants to overthrow us...".

Her twin rapiers were sheathed. She went near the sitting Na.s.sus. She leaned her voluptuous body and brushed her hair to her ear, making her melons to bounce in the aftermath. Then, she asked him,

"I could see you're not from our world. By the way, what's your name?".

Na.s.sus responded,

"It's Na.s.sus Draxen and I came from the world called, Unlimatia...".

Yumine had stopped leaning to him. Then, she just walked away and said with a nice greeting,

"Is that so, by the way, welcome to our world called UMINOYA!".

Then, she introduced herself casually,

"I am the dark G.o.ddess Yumine and that woman you are carrying now, is the light G.o.ddess Otorine.".

She pointed her finger at the slumbering maiden. Na.s.sus looked down and saw G.o.ddess Otorine up close. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat, as he was entranced by the dazzling beauty of the G.o.ddess Otorine. He was feeling the budding petals of blooming pa.s.sion. In his eyes, her flawless skin were sparkling like diamonds. Yumine looked dumbfounded over Na.s.sus, since she was witnessing that Na.s.sus was entranced by the sleeping Otorine. She made a sinister grin and she was intrigued deep in her thoughts,

"So that's how it is huh...".

She sneaked on him and snapped her fingers in front of his eyes. As Na.s.sus heard the snapping of her fingers, he had stopped being mesmerized by the sleeping beauty. He looked at Yumine. Yumine just masked a friendly smile.

Na.s.sus was absorbed in his thoughts,

"So this is what that d.a.m.ned G.o.d said by, DIFFERENT G.o.dDESSES.".

Yumine bent her knees, she brought out a gla.s.s vial that was filled with a rainbow-like fluid. She poured it on Otorine's mouth, letting Otorine to drink it, while leaking a few droplets on her cheek. There were blue fireflies that swarmed around them. Those fireflies were illuminating their soothing and calming blue night lights, such as they were moving stars. Soon, Otorine bloomed her dazzling eyes slowly. She looked-like a sophisticated imperial princess. Yumine was glad and she said to her friend,

"I'm glad you're awake now Ori...".

Otorine looked listless. She replied back with a weak smile,

"Thanks for waking me up Yumi...I guess that mushroom wasn't for eating...".

Yumine just sighed. Otorine felt that she was feeling someone else's laps. She s.h.i.+fted her look to the other side. She saw the mesmerized Na.s.sus. Na.s.sus looked-like he was seeing her as a maiden of ultimate beauty. Otorine asked his name with her soothing voice,

"And you are?".

Na.s.sus tried to respond but, Yumine told Na.s.sus's name instead,

"He's Na.s.sus Draxen, someone who came from another world called UNLIMATIA.".

Otorine nodded. She caressed Na.s.sus's cheek with her flawless divine touch and she thanked him with utter gratefulness,

"Thank you for saving me, Na.s.sus.".

It appeared, this was the first time that Na.s.sus had met Otorine and Yumine.

Afterwards, Na.s.sus had stopped diving inside his sudden flashback. He was back to his little form and his senses were back to normal. He felt dizzy and his head was acheing for some reason. Miro had stopped tutoring Na.s.sus, since he noticed that the youthful Na.s.sus doesn't look well,

"Ey Na.s.sus! Are you still alright or not?".

Na.s.sus replied back while he was feeling a jolting pain from his head,

"Uuuuuu, my head hurts...".

Though, he felt confused inside his thoughts,

"Was that me with Ori onee-chan and Yumi onee-chan?".

Miro closed the book. He felt that prolonging their lesson could worsen Na.s.sus's condition, so he just patted Na.s.sus's head with gentle care, such as he was a caring teacher to his student. Then, Miro said,

"Well okay, you can rest now.".

Young Na.s.sus replied,

"Thanks, big brother Miro...".

Miro looked dumbstruck over Na.s.sus's calling for him,

"Uh huh...".

Soon, Miro and Na.s.sus went to Otorine, Yumine, and Lilieth who were at their table. He said to them that Na.s.sus doesn't look so good, so he asked them in a very formal way,

"G.o.ddess Yumine, G.o.ddess Otorine, and G.o.ddess Lilieth is there a place where little Na.s.sus can rest?".

The three G.o.ddesses took notice of the ill-looking Na.s.sus and they were all filled with worry. Yumine looked at Otorine first. Otorine nodded. As Yumine was given the signal, she responded to Miro's question,

"Oh, just go straight over the next block. There's an inn that Mai and her husband are managing from time to time. Also, could you stop with the formalities? Geez!".

Soon, Miro bowed. Otorine and Lilieth just nodded. Miro and the youthful Na.s.sus had departed in search for the inn. The three of G.o.ddesses may look worried, but Otorine's worry for her young Na.s.sus is above them all,

"I hope Na.s.sus will be alright...".

After a while, a plush doll that looked-like almost the exact image of Ru had came out from the kitchen, floating above through magic. It's stubby hands were holding out a silver tray. It's form was small and it looked-like a cuter form of Ru that doesn't talk. It went to Otorine's table and placed the silver tray. Though, Otorine suggested to the Ru plush doll,

"Ummm Ru, we'll be taking Na.s.sus's meal as takeout.".

The Ru plush doll made an adorable salute, as it understood Otorine's words somehow. It seemed Ru was controlling the plush through her G.o.ddess powers. Not only that, she can also hear and see through her plush doll. The plush doll grabbed the other silver trays and went back to the kitchen. Later, Yumine went to the bartender table and ordered some kind of liquor. While Zeran was making the said drink that Yumine had desired, he asked her politely,

"I don't mean to pry on anyone's business but, where's your other companion, Ira?".

Yumine just rolled her eyes down and said with an uninteresting tone,

"She says she's busy with her own personal thing, whatever that is. Oh yeah, what do you think of Ira, Mr. bartender?".

Zeran replied,

"Ira huh, I could feel she's a dangerous woman to be with. She's hiding something scary...".

At another table, the black hooded woman overheard their talk about Ira, she took a sip of her coffee. Then, she said to herself that bore grudge,

"Ira huh? Good riddance! Now I'll have more time with, MY MASTER. One down, more to go.".

The woman's grin was truly terrifying to ever see. Her expression was a mix of delight, pa.s.sion and chaotic desire for the downfall of Ira. Even though, her distorted aura was nearly similar to Ira's.
