In another world inhabited by gods and goddesses, a girl sat contemplating her fate on a giant cat with golden brown fur. The cat seemed to be fast asleep letting its mistress daydream about something. Occasionally the girl let out a long breath and then she daydreamed again. She often did things like this when she was thinking about something that was difficult for her.

"Haa~~"

"Mother forced me to meet that person again..."

The girl looked annoyed and then she grumbled incoherently like a child having a tantrum. The girl then realized her helplessness in this arranged marriage. The girl's name was Lara Tsukishima. Lara had long pink hair that was soft and thick. Her eyes were a beautiful blue color like sapphire.

Lara was wearing a Sakura-patterned Yukata outfit and there was a silver crescent moon symbol on the right chest and on the back of the outfit. In the age time of the underworld creatures which means the human world, Lara looks 18 years old but her actual age is no longer young, at least for the underworld creatures.

Lara's age in the world of gods and goddesses was only 280 years old. In the eyes of those special beings, that's still quite young. Lara was the first daughter of the famous Tsukishima family in their own circles. The head of the family who is Lara's father is named Riku Tsukishima while Lara's mother is named Shion Tsukishima.

A week ago, at a banquet every 50 years, the Tsukishima family hosted another distinguished family called the Taiyoshin. In the artist's pronunciation, both families have moon and sun artists.  These two celestial bodies are different but have a close relationship with each other to support the lives of underworld creatures.

Therefore, Lara had to behave like an eldest daughter of the Tsukishima family even though Lara was reluctant to fulfill this once-a-year event. During this banquet, Lara met a handsome man named Rion Taiyoshin and has officially become the new head of the Taiyoshin family.

Rion's age was 200 years apart which meant that Rion was now 480 years old. In the age of underworld creatures, Rion is about 38 years old. Actually, Lara didn't mind the considerable age difference, but what Lara took issue with was Rion's attitude towards women.

Rion already had many wives and concubines, most of whom came from the world of demons. Lara didn't want to just be used as a lust slave by Rion. What made Lara dislike Rion even more was the use of succubus blood that made the woman have the desire to make love with Rion.

Even though what Lara had with it was a rumor, Lara believed that the rumor was true. Because every girl Rion chose at first did not like Rion, but after being invited to talk to two eyes, the girl changed her attitude and was very attached to Rion.

That's how Rion added to his wives and concubines, in other words, Rion was a natural enemy to women. During the banquet, Lara was invited to a more private conversation by Rion in a park. Lara followed Rion's wishes with a fake friendly smile.

Rion and Lara sat together in a garden chair inside the villa where their two families met every 50 years.

"Very well. Miss Lara, I will ask you this directly. Be my 20th concubine. I will use your beautiful body properly"

Rion said that without covering up as he usually did at such formal events. Lara smiled kindly then she said her refusal as gently as she could.

"Sorry Mr. Rion. I actually don't want to get married just yet. I'm still too young and-"

Rion burst out laughing. Then he put his arm around Lara and whispered, "Come on, don't be so shy. Be my concubine."

Lara's body suddenly felt tingling. Her cheeks began to redden slightly. Lara looked uneasy and uncomfortable. Rion smiled proudly and then without hesitation began to trace Lara's shoulders and began to slip into Lara's yukata.

Lara could not resist the indecent treatment, even though she was strongly against this kind of thing. Rion fondled Shion's breasts and began licking Lara's neck lustfully.

"Stop, we can't... do... nm... do- aah!"

Lara couldn't speak normally, Rion was getting more aggressive and wanted to take off part of the Yukata to reveal Lara's beautiful pair of hills.

Lara's tears began to fall then tried to break away from Rion. As Rion prepared to remove some of Lara's clothes, Lara screamed hysterically and Rion was thrown until he almost hit the boulder. Lara's Yukata outfit was untidy and revealed a glowing green necklace. Rion chuckled in annoyance then stood back up and brushed the dirt off his luxurious Yukata.

"That necklace from the Tsukishima family is just troublesome" Rion thought as he tried to remain calm.

Just as Rion was about to approach Lara again, Lara gasped in surprise and jumped back while pulling out a giant scythe from an aerial materialization.

"I find it strange why I'm acting like a bitch in heat. Apparently you use succubus blood."

Lara wiped away her tears and made a move to attack Rion. Instead of being afraid of Lara's threat, Rion smiled broadly and told Lara to attack him first.

Lara felt provoked by Rion and began to attack Rion angrily. But when Lara was within reach of her scythe to slash Rion, Lara was hit by an invisible wall. Lara stopped in amazement. Lara felt the air in front of her and felt a thick layer of protection.

Rion laughed out loud and then said, "See? Even though you're the best goddess of death in your age. You got caught up with some cheap demagoguery and ended up entering my trap instead."

Lara tried to get out but somehow the air inside the barrier started to run low. Lara collapsed from lack of oxygen inside the invisible trap.

"Lara Tsukishima. I just deprived you of oxygen, you won't die. We can't stay here too long. Because they'll get suspicious, especially if your father finds out about this, I'll be banished from the land of gods."

Rion released Lara's trap, but when Lara wanted to attack back, Lara's neck was strangled by Rion quickly. Rion smiled then pressed his left hand to Lara's forehead and said the order calmly.

"Forget about today. I didn't meet with Mr. Rion because Mr. Rion was busy. Repeat after me."

Lara's eyes opened wide with not a single light in them and followed Rion's words.

"I didn't meet with Mr. Rion because Mr. Rion was busy"

After Lara said those words, Rion released the choke on Lara's neck and Lara fainted. Lara woke up in her room. And the story returned to the present where Lara was daydreaming over her pet.

"Never mind, I'm going to the underworld to continue my work!"

Lara opened the black hole in front of her. Lara grabbed a book between her cleavage and jumped into the hole. At the same time a man named Yuusuke Kawakami had already completed his college registration for tomorrow.

"Well, I'll study hard and become an archaeologist just like my late father!" Yuusuke said with great optimism.

On that day, Yuusuke didn't realize that his encounter with the goddess of death, Lara would change his life.
