Chapter 210 - Tea with the goddesses (2)

Since I arrived here, we spent a few minutes having tea. The goddesses in front of me spoke things every moment that I honestly couldn't understand. Concepts like multiverse or universal balance are quite unknown to me, and I believe it's the same for most people.

While they talked, all I could do was quietly drink my tea while savoring some of the cookies on the table. Of course, it's not like that's all I was doing. Even though the cookies and tea are the most delicious things I've ever tasted, it doesn't mean I'm not doing anything else but eating.

Although I tried to figure out the identity of the third goddess with us, nothing came to mind. Moreover, Aurora-sama and Artena-sama also didn't seem inclined to tell me. In the end, thoughts about who she could be remained only in my mind. Of course, it's not like I have no clue about her identity, but I would be really embarrassed if my speculations were wrong.

Actually, why should I feel embarrassed? They're not sharing information, so if I'm wrong, it wouldn't be my fault, right? Yes, I'm sure it wouldn't. Anyway, I'm starting to feel like a fool for sitting here in silence without saying a word.

"Umm... Felrotha-sama?"

The words escaped my lips like an uncertain question. In the face of this question, silence enveloped the place. The three goddesses fixed their gaze on me, while Aurora-sama displayed a wide smile on her face.

"See, I told you he would take less than ten years to figure it out. Isn't my Makoto amazing?"

My mouth opened in disbelief upon hearing Aurora-sama's words. Did they seriously think I would take ten years to figure out who the third goddess was? No, I mean, I know they're immortal and probably have been alive for thousands of years, but isn't ten years too long just to figure out who a person is? While I was incredulous about the situation, Felrotha-sama spoke.

"I wasn't really doubting you, Aurora. I could see through Leona that he was an amazing person. Well, your power is in him, so that's not so strange, to be honest."

Hearing Felrotha-sama's words, Aurora-sama put a big smile on her face and thrust her chest forward. Then, she said in a proud tone in her voice.

"Isn't it? Aren't I amazing?"

Instead of goddesses, the girls in front of me seemed like long-time friends or something. How can I say, although the scene seemed common, as soon as you remembered they were goddesses, it turned into something far beyond the ordinary.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

While Aurora-sama boasted and Artena-sama praised her even more, Felrotha turned her eyes to me, keeping a smile on her face. For some reason, her eyes emitted a brief glow, and at that moment, I felt completely vulnerable.

"I think I can understand why Aurora likes you so much. Your soul is truly... interesting, so to speak. Or rather, your soul is unique in many dimensions. If that's the case, maybe you really can become..."

Felrotha seemed to be saying something more to herself than to me, although she was clearly talking about me. I really felt like she was about to reveal something extremely important to me, but Aurora-sama suddenly interrupted her.

"Felrotha, your tea is finished. Do you want me to pour some more for you?"

Felrotha-sama trembled upon hearing Aurora-sama call her name. Slowly, she turned to Aurora-sama, who was smiling while holding the tea pot. However, something seemed strange. Despite the smile, I felt a chill run down my spine as I watched her expression.

"A-Ah... sure"

Aurora-sama, still smiling, served tea in Felrotha-sama's cup, who began to sip it slowly, remaining completely silent. Seriously, what the heck did I just witness? As I suspected, Aurora-sama is really a scary person.

“Ah, I almost forgot, Felrotha, didn't you have something to say to my Makoto?”

I don't know why Aurora-sama seemed to emphasize the “my” part, but whatever, I guess. However, did Felrotha-sama have something to tell me? Did I do something? I really couldn't remember.

Anyway, after hearing Aurora-sama's words, Felrotha slowly looked at her, as if asking for permission. After a nod from Aurora-sama, Felrotha-sama directed her gaze towards me.

“Right, thank you for helping one of my children, Makoto. As you know, we gods cannot interfere in the lives of mortals, but that doesn't mean we don't care about some of them. Well, you can say I see Leona as my daughter”

Saying these words, Felrotha took another sip of her tea.

“Take good care of Leona. She may seem strong, but she's actually just a child who doesn't understand much about love... Also, she really seems to love it when you pet her ears and tail”

As soon as I heard that, I almost jumped out of my chair. I turned my gaze slowly to Felrotha-sama, while a sinister premonition occurred in my mind.

“Felrotha-sama...”

Hearing her name, Felrotha-sama turned towards me with her eyes blinking.

“Yes?”

Taking a deep breath, I asked.

“Did you by any chance... see?”

Hearing my words, Felrotha-sama seemed confused for a few seconds; then her response came.

“Well, actually, Aurora and Artena were also watching. I mean, your life is quite interesting, you know”

Felrotha-sama said with a smile. In the end, my doubts had been cleared. Putting that aside, I decided to respond to Felrotha-sama's words.

“Anyway, I promise to take care of Leona, she... has become someone special to me”

As soon as I said that, although I felt a little embarrassed, it was still nothing I couldn't overlook.

“Fufufu, you're so cute, Makoto”

Of course, except for Aurora-sama, who was still treating me like a child, but then again, she was probably much older than me, so from her perspective, I really should be something like a baby.
