Currently in the office of Master Irene, sitting on the couch. Master Irene was sitting on the other side filled with disgust while staring at Diana, who’s embracing my right arm adorably, rubbing her cheeks on my shoulder. If it weren’t for Master Irene and Clara standing beside her. I would spoil her by right now.

This ain’t a joking matter anymore because I’m extremely horny right now—Damn it!

Jokes aside, onward to the important matters, after I accidentally summoned Diana, Master Irene and Clara were immobilized by the fearsome pressure Diana emitted, she then promptly lunged herself unto me; however, she doesn’t have any physical body as she’s projecting her body from within my soul.

That’s the reason why I want to cry right now! Even though she’s being all lovey-dovey over me; I can’t feel the warmth of her touch, nor I can do anything with her! Perhaps this moment of my life was the most disappointing part of my life here in this world.

When I thought I can finally pop my cherry, fate finds its way to mess with me. How cruel...! Anyway, Master Irene broke the silence by introducing herself to Diana.

“Ahem, I’m Claude’s master, Irene.”

“I know.” Diana coldly replied.

And I didn’t expect her response to be like that. I even double-checked if I’m hearing things right. Then I saw Diana’s bitter face narrowing her eyes to Master Irene. Although it didn’t stop her from what she’s been doing until now, rubbing her cheeks on my shoulder adorably like a cute dog wanting attention. Watching her rubbing her cheeks on my shoulder, made me tear up.

How lucky and unlucky am I, at the same time?

“Well then, let me get this straight. What are you?” Master Irene also released a powerful aura around her, but it didn’t faze Diana at all.

“I’m Claude’s spirit contracted wife.”

“Wife?”

Confused by what Diana said, Master Irene and Clara looked at me with confusion. Not only them, but I’m also confused. I don’t remember anything about having a wife, but if it’s Diana, then I wouldn’t mind at all. Who wouldn’t want an extremely gorgeous wife? I do.

Master Irene and Clara shifted their gaze to me, but I responded to the two with a shrug, implying to them that I have no clue what she’s talking about. Gladly, they understood what I said and nodded; however, that’s what I thought.

“You went into the Aether just to find a wife, huh? As your master, I’m disappointed in you.”

“Me too. I thought you’re a decent person, young master Claude.”

“Wait, a minute! What the hell are you talking abou—”

Then I recalled the time where Kitsune was trying to impress me—They’re right... I have no words to say against the accusations against me. It's irrefutable, no matter how hard I try.

“So? At least complete your sentence.”

“I-I have no words to say...” I lowered my gaze.

“Haaah... So, can you introduce yourself to us?” Master Irene questioned Diana beside me.

“Me? I already told you though? Was that not enough?”

“Yes, what spirit beast are you?”

“Spirit beast? How dare you call me a lowly beast? They are not comparable to me.”

Diana once again emitted a disturbing, cold, pressuring presence engulfing the entire room. In a blink of an eye, the guardian spirit of Master Irene’s, Melissa the Mushussu, and Clara’s guardian spirit, Fury the shadow eagle with its dark flaming wings manifested in the room out of thin air, protecting their contractors from the suffocating pressure of Diana—Of course, I’m not affected by it.

“All right, stop stop,” I said to calm Diana down.

Thankfully, she finally calms downed and continued what she kept doing, ignoring Master Irene and Clara, who are on high alert due to the presence of Diana. Instead of making things escalate go any further, I ended the conversation.

“I’ll just ask her. I’m going to my room then.”

I stood, and Diana followed me while floating in the air. As I was about to close the door, I heard a shout.

“Open your door, in case something happens!”

“Haah...”

────────────

Diana, a goddess from a place called ‘Avalon’, where other spirit goddesses like her exist. They’re the god and goddesses that are beyond the reach of anyone, as their existent was left to be unknown.

From where Diana came from, gods and goddesses are not benevolent beings as a normal person would think because they're like us that can be consumed by greed and evil. Also, although they’re called gods or goddesses, they can’t interfere with mortals because of a curse that is bestowed upon every single one of them from an old past that happened which forbids them from making contact with mortals. Diana doesn’t know what’s the real cause because it’s like a prohibited topic to talk about and because Diana is still a young goddess, that’s only a few thousand years old...

Because of that, they’re unable to establish contracts with normal people, unless people like me who have quintessence, the exceptional people. On my hypothesis, it's probably related to this world's spirit.

Now, due to my existence upon arriving at the Aether, it created a disturbance on the Avalon that made all the goddesses go crazy over me, as they’re all going their way to get me in the Aether realm. Luckily, Diana was the first one to arrive and was able to snatch me. They’re normal occurrences for them, as there are people around the globe like me, which didn’t surprise me.

From what I’m hearing from her, Diana had a firm belief that her fated one and the only person who can make her happy, her only one husband—Me. Quite wholesome, and I love it. Not only that, she’s said something about other male gods bothering her, which sickens her. That’s why, with my arrival at the Aether, she immediately activated some sort of portal device to go in between two realms instead of going in the gate of Avalon like everyone else. Basically, Diana cheated her way.

Furthermore, she mentioned about other goddesses like her have the same objectives of capturing me, although the difference would be I’ll get kidnapped and get imprisoned in their place forever. I shuddered while listening to Diana. But, I got a feeling that she’s just trying to scare me off. Nevertheless, it feels good that goddesses are going crazy to get a piece of my ass. What an amazing moment of my life. But, I got a feeling that she's telling truth... And, that piece of information is not good for me.

Right now, Diana was cuddling my arms.

“Diana, so you’re not a spirit but a goddess?”

“Hm~? Not really, we are a higher form of spirits, but we have our own physical bodies, unlike those so-called spirit guardians you call them, that came from the Aether.”

“Then how?”

“We gods and goddesses can use astral projection at our own will. As for the contract, it’s a different kind of contract as it’s the fusing our soul to that vessel for you to inherit our power—In short, once you die, I’ll die, we’ll die together as our souls are together and became one for eternity.”

“Is that the cause why you don’t have a physical body?”

“No, because I destroyed my body for the contract to quicken, or else we'll be in the Aether for years before it can even complete itself. And right now, I'm still in the process of merging to your soul, so it'll take time before I can finish it, but you can still use a fraction of my power.”

“What?! What does that mean?”

“I’m currently in the process of an astral phase where I need to recreate my body once again.”

“And, you’re okay with that?!”

“Yes. Claude, there are many goddesses aiming for you, especially since you’re a guy—And, I don't want those thirsty women to get my love.”

“Oh~?” I raised an eyebrow.

“They’re bad girls, Claude. That’s why I took the best course of action, so worry not, plus it’ll only take 3 years before I can complete recreating my body.”

Bad girls, huh~? The meaning behind it doesn't really match with what I'm thinking... Damn it, calm yourself down, Claude!

“I’ve got a question though.”

“Ask, Claude.”

“Once our soul merges, are we going to share memories?”

Sweating profusely, recollecting all the memories of my disturbing habit of jerking off on Clara or Master Irene’s panties resurfaced in my mind. I’m just a healthy boy with vigorous sexual needs since I’m in the process of my puberty—Can’t help it.

“No...” A deep breath of relief, for something disturbing that would be too embarrassing if she learns about it. At least, my dignity is safe for now.

“... We can’t because we will lose our own individuality and personality, and instead, we’ll be just one person with mixed personalities of you and me. It’ll defeat the purpose of our love. You don’t want to happen, right?” Diana smiled gleefully.

“Yeah, that makes sense. Does that apply to the other spirit beasts, too? Don’t they get the memories from their contractors?”

“Hardly. Unlike us, they don’t have actual connections, so they use those memories to establish a connection with their contractors. There’s a place where every person’s souls reside deep within their body, the Immaterial Plane. It’s an empty space where the soul is located, part of the astral consciousness of a person. And, the spirits beast you so-called are living in that plane like there’s another soul residing the body.”

“Ohh, I get the premise now. Also, does that mean they can take over their body?”

“Yes.”

"And, what's a quintessence? Because it explained to me that, they're the purest form of mana."

"Yes, they are. That's basically it."

Makes little sense at all.

“I see... Thank you for the helpful tips, Diana. Though it really makes me sad that you still don’t have a physical body.

Diana then whispered to my ears. “Worry not, darling~ Once I get my body, we’ll have fun all day.”

“Now, that's what I'm talking about!”
