The lights disappeared and as they vanished, a woman appeared in front of the throne.

She was the one that Hiroki had seen on the veranda of the house. Hiroki's friends were flashed by her beauty and figure, especially two huge mountains attracted their attention.

They didn't say anything and just nodded at each other with satisfied-looking faces.

Callidus went on and tried to ask her for the blessings: "My goddess, I called you here to ask y- "

But he was interrupted by the goddess, that seemed to notice something strange.

"STOP!", shouted the goddess.

"Why do these people look so similar to that man and why can I slightly feel his presence, tell me, TELL ME!", her raging red eyes began to shine even brighter.

Hiroki, who was hiding behind the king's throne was scared and didn't want to encounter that raging goddess, but deep inside he knew that this rage was just an act to cover up her sadness.

Thus, he built up all his courage and stepped out from his hiding spot, hoping for a normal reunion.

"...I'm back, Gaia!", he said in very warm and comfortable, but also nervous tone.

Gaia, the goddess, started to tear after seeing him and put her hands in front of her mouth, showing that she couldn't believe it.

"Hiroki, where have you been, why are you here…?", she said in a soft and trembling voice.

As evil as it may sound, but Hiroki was actually happy about her reaction, because there was also the possibility for her to rage even more when he showed himself.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

He went on to tell her about how he came back.

"Well, you know I was teleported back and after that- ", but Hiroki suddenly stopped because he felt a mood change from Gaia.

In less than a second, Gaia teleported herself in front of Hiroki, grabbed him and said with a terrifying smile on her face: "Oh my, what a nice husband you are, leaving me alone for 15 whole years. Now we're going home and do all that stuff we couldn't do in these 15 years. Am I right H I R O K I?"

He got scared, because the one thing he didn't want to happen, happened and now he was in great trouble. He could do nothing but give in.

"Yes, yes haha…"

A bright light began to shine again and both of them vanished.

Everybody in the throne room was silent, no one knew what to say. They were dumbfounded.

Aiko, trying to break the ice said: "Well, what the heck was that…?"

All the eyes were laid on the King, desperately waiting for him to explain the situation… but even he had no idea how to answer or what to say. Thus, the queen stood up instead of him.

"Well, I don't know what that situation just now was about, but for you to understand: that beautiful woman was the goddess of this world: Miss Gaia. She is the ruler of this world and also the goddess to whom we all pray. As for those two in particular… they got married only 2 years after Hiroki arrived on this world, we kept this a secret from the people, and they seem to be a, well… let's say a rather energetical couple."

Still, no one was able to say anything, especially Hiroki's friends, since they had to process the information that they were just given.

A few moments later, Gaia appeared out of the blue, this time without all the bright light.

"I almost forgot, what did you guys call me for? Giving Hiroki's friends some blessings, right? Since you are Hiroki's friends, I'll give you the best one.", she said without changing expressions.

A blue light came out of her hand, split itself into three light bulbs and they flew towards the group. After the lights entered their bodies, they got completely covered by the light and after a few seconds it vanished.

"Wow, why do I feel so light?"

"You too? I can also feel the strength in my arms."

Were some of their reactions.

The blessing they received, was the highest blessing one could get and it greatly boosted one's stats and their growth rate.

"All your stats will be raised by 30%, you'll level up faster and so on, but now I warn you, DON'T interrupt me and Hiroki, ok?", her expression showed a slight sign of anger.

The king and queen quickly answered with an "As you wish!".
