Everyone was petrified at the scene of me hugging the Goddess. Some of them fell into both of their knees, perhaps the kneeling took a toll on their knees. I saw Kara smiling at the corner of my eyes, as if she was waiting for this moment.
Her boobs felt soft and big. Her skin was smooth and silky. Her heterochromic eyes were shining as she stared at me with a childish smile on her lips.
"Um... Miss Goddess? Everyone is watching, you know." I whispered in embarrassment. The Goddess eyes completely ignored my voice as she cuddled my cheek with her own cheek.
"Aah, I can't believe it. Your cheek is so smooth. Your hair is so silky. Sniff Sniff. Your scent is so arousing. Ah, let me have a bite of your neck." Said the Goddess while she opened her mouth to reach out her teeth into my neck.
Everyone watched with great interest. Kara covered her eyes while blushing red. I sighed at the sight of the Goddess slowly putting her teeth towards my neck. I quickly let go of her hug. With a swift motion, I bonked her.
"Stop being a pervert in public, you lewd cabbage!" I yelled.
A few moments of silence later.
"Um, Sis-" The Goddess started talking while rubbing her head with an adorable pout. She touched her head with a pained expression, even though I didn't hit her that hard.
"No, you sit there and shut up for a moment." I said while pointing at a chair besides Kara which I conveniently created. "Sure~" The Goddess answered with a child-like walk towards the chair.
Everyone was quiet. I gave an exasperated sigh at the current circumstances. The blistering sun was too uncomfortable for me to wear pajamas. I really wanted to take a dip in a nice, comfortable spring bath.
I simply snapped my finger to transform my pajama into my middle school uniform in an instant. Everyone stared at me quietly. Different and complicated expressions arose in the eyes of everyone watching me except for Kara and the Goddess.
I took a step forward to position myself to make sure I was in the center of the entire people just like the Goddess a few minutes ago. I was a shut-in in my previous world, nevertheless, I'd just wanted to deal with this quickly to finally take a spring bath.
"If I recall, your name is Gray, correct?" I asked Gray in front of me. His usual handsome features were filled with terror and dread.
"Uh, um, y-yes! P-please don't t-take my s-soul." Gray answered while stuttering. His hands were trembling like crazy.
I sighed at his stuttering. It seemed like it would be hard to talk with him right now, so I turned back to my gaze at Kara.
"Kara, you said you'd rebuild your kingdom, right?" I asked.
Kara replied, "That's right, Miss Yuzu."
I looked back at Gray and his party. Even the tall elf was shaking on his knee. No one was making a positive appearance. Their eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.
I couldn't sense any vexed or annoyed feelings from them anymore. Their images were simply too pitiful to look at. Even Remmy had a somewhat scared look in her eyes.
I tried to assess the situation calmly.
The elves seemed to be prideful of their own race. Before the Goddess came here, they were boasting about being the best race in this world.
I turned around to look at the smiling Goddess as she stared at me obsessively. I could even see a heart shaped pupil forming in her heterochromic eyes while ogling at me.
I secretly thought. "She's helpless..."
Suddenly, I remember the humans that Kara and I encountered. They seemed to think that the Goddess in front of me was the Goddess for the elves. Even Gray himself said so.
"Why do you think this childish Goddess chose the elves as her favorite race?" I asked.
"Sis... I have a name, you know." Lily interfered. I chose to Ignore her for now as I waited for Gray to answer.
"Th-that's because The Goddess Lily had saved us from the great demon war, and she had blessed us with the power the elves never had before inside all of us." Gray replied.
Lily sighed at Gray's answer. She changed her demeanor from childish into lovely with pure tone as she spoke, "How foolish of you. It's true that I used to spend most of my time creating demons and elves compared to other races. However, unlike most other Gods and Goddesses, I value all life as equal." Lily stared at me directly in the eyes. "Just like the beauty in front of you." Lily smiled as she said that.
I almost blushed in embarrassment to be called a beauty. Nevertheless, I was still quite confused at this whole Goddess stuff. After all, I was still a human. In my previous world, I wasn't worshiped or anything like that. I still didn't know why someone drew a portrait of me in my middle school uniform. Whoever painted that must be a pervert.
In the end, I simply needed to fix the conflict between the elves and Kara. For whatever they did to Kara, I couldn't simply let them go unpunished. However, Kara doesn't seem to want revenge or any sort.
I turned to see Kara once more. Even though Kara said she only wanted to rebuild her kingdom, I couldn't be sure if she really doesn't want revenge. Perhaps, she was suppressing herself from saying anything of the sort.
I could see Kara's necklace with a key as its core. I suddenly remembered a chain and collar that was put into Kara's neck on our first meeting, remembering that gave me an idea.
I clapped myself to gather some attention. I put my right hand towards the group of elves. A pretty bright light shone towards the elves. A glitter of light continued to encircle the elves with a beautiful light show.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
The light itself didn't do anything. I just produced it to make quite a dramatic effect. The elves, however, had a drastic change in appearance.
"Dear the elves of the Silvrout Kingdom. I hereby cursed and turned you into mouse kin to help Kara in her journey to become the queen of her new Kingdom!" I said with my best acting voice as a divine being.
The light still encircled the elves' party with beautiful color. Their appearances were still somewhat elves; their heights were getting smaller.
"Is that okay, Kara?" I asked Kara before continuing. I didn't know if she would be happy about it, so I made sure to ask first.
Kara smiled as she confirmed, "Yes, Miss Yuzu."
Slowly, a new light came from the individual elves as it flew towards Kara. The light encircled Kara with a beautiful aura.
"You must do what Kara told you to do, and only she could break the curse for you if she wished to," I continued.
The elves' bodies no longer had the appearance of an elf. Their ears were no longer pointy. Mouse tails appeared on their bodies. They also grew a pair of mouse ears also. Their heights were the size of an elementary student. Their faces had features similar to Kara in terms of adorableness. Even their gender had changed
In other words, they all became loli.
The light slowly dissipated. Little by little, every pretty light show I just created disappeared. The elves- or rather, the mouse girls looked into each other with surprised looks on their faces. Kara looked at them silently.
"Is that okay, Lily?" I turned around as I asked Lily.
"That's fine, I think. That ought to teach them a few lessons or so." Lily answered.
The now mouse girl looked at each other. They nodded in unison as they faced towards me.
"Thank you so much, Goddess of Death!" They said in unison.
I felt a cold sweat coming through my cheek. They felt happy for some reason. I needed to confirm my suspicion, so I asked them with a blank stare.
"Why do you all look so happy? Could it be that all of you are actually lolicon?" I asked in fear.
They all tilted their head in confusion at the word lolicon. Perhaps the word was foreign to them.
"We're glad to be given the grace of being spared by the Goddess of Death." Gray responded. Their voices were a lot more squeaky than before.
At first, I thought about making them as mouse tribes as punishment since they were so prideful being elves. And then, I remembered about Kara's dream so I thought it would be helpful for Kara to have a following she could order around to help her.
Seeing the mouse girls in front of me, I wondered if I made a mistake somewhere. After all, the inside of their mind was still a grown up young man. I looked at them for a moment.
"Gray, how old are you?" I curiously asked.
Gray responded, "I'm seventeen"
Huh?
Wait, what?
I simply couldn't believe my ears. I went around and asked the elves bunch to tell me their ages. The average age was around fifteen and sixteen, they were still pretty much children.
I was so shocked; I forgot to breathe. Lily ran towards me to see if I was alright. I glanced towards Remmy with a complicated gaze.
Remmy tilted her head in confusion. Her facial expression looked like someone in their twenties, however her actual age was more than eight hundred years.
I glanced back towards the once elven group, their elves' appearance was similar to young adults from earth. Some of them even looked like a middle aged guy. Yet their actual age group was so low.
"Um, Sis, are you okay?" Lily asked.
"Lily, you are known as the Goddess of Life, right?" I asked.
"That's correct." Lily answered.
"Does that mean you made people, including the elves in this world?" I once again asked.
"That's right." Lily replied without hesitation.
I simply sighed at her answers. Since it was another world, perhaps the ages and appearance varied quite differently from earth. But it was still quite a shock to take in.
Thinking about the Goddess in front of me. Her actual age should be way higher than Remmy. Yet, her behavior was quite childish at times. Rather, she only ever felt clingy at me. She spoke with a divine tone towards others.
"Well. Gray, are you okay with this?" I asked. I suddenly remembered that he, or well, she was a prince at Silvrout kingdom.
Gray took a moment before answering.
"Well, in truth, I have an older sister and two older brothers. Unlike me, they were over a hundred years old, they would definitely be the ruler of the Silvrout Kingdom. I was jealous. Until one day, a cat tribe told me about the destruction of the Literea Kingdom. He told me to keep a mouse girl with the bloodline of a royal mouse blood." Gray explained.
Gray looked down upon her feet with regret in her eyes. She looked back to stare at her companions for a moment. She continued, "That's when I gathered a small group of elves from the slum that my father didn't take care of. We've formulated a plan, and well, rest is history." Gray finished.
Gray's companions were looking at Gray with bittersweet emotions.
"That's why, as long as I wasn't dead. I'm happy to accept any punishment." Gray concluded.
Kara walked up to Gray with a kind and adorable smile. Her eyes focused on Gray as she spoke, "D-don't worry Master Gray. Once I became the queen, I would make you elves again, is that okay, Miss Yuzu?"
I nodded at her question in which she smiled.
Aah, there was so much going on, I just wanna take a nice, relaxing spring bath.
❦ ❦ ❦
"Sis... It's just the two of us... Do you know what this means?" Lily asked as she dipped her toes into the neat water of the hot spring.
I immediately entered the hot spring near Remmy's house after the elves incident. Kara and Remmy were taking care of the blue tiger. While the new mouse girls were taking a spring bath at a different location, they were once men after all.
Lily joined me as she entered the hot spring naked. Her skin looked so smooth that I was tempted to touch it. I resisted the urge and continued to enjoy the bath in silence. She pouted at my indifference at her question. "Hey, are you listening to me?" Lily asked.
I sighed, "Why do you keep calling me "Sis" anyway? You're mistaking me for someone else. I've never met you before." I said.
"That's true, this is our first time meeting. To be honest, I didn't even know if you existed." Lily said with a somewhat clouded look in her eyes.
"So, what were you saying? What do you want to do when we're alone?" I asked with my guard up.
Lily stretched her arm seductively as she let out an adorable moan. Perhaps she was a lot more tired than she looked. She felt relaxed at the temperature of the water that she yawned for a little bit. Perhaps she was getting sleepy.
Suddenly, Lily stared at me earnestly. I gulped. She walked closer through the water. Her naked figure felt so pure yet so seductive.
"Obviously, when we're alone, we kiss and make childre-" Lily exclaimed before getting splashed with the spring bath water. I continued to relax in silence as Lily complained at my action.
Lily's eyes were beautiful. Her heterochromic eyes felt wonderful no matter how much I stared at it. Finally, she looked at me with a serious tone.
Without a notice, she grabbed my hands tightly as she intertwined it with her own fingers. It was a soft touch; I didn't mind it one bit.
"Have you ever wondered why people called you the Goddess of Death?" Lily asked. I could only nod weakly.
She kept holding into my hands with passionate eyes. Her cheek reddened. She tried to glance left and right to ease her nervousness.
"It's easier to show you." Said Lily. Suddenly, she closed our distance stealthily. She swiftly let her lips touch mine. Slowly, my consciousness faded towards a memory that I didn't recognize.
