22 CHAPTER 21 (1/2)
Meanwhile, Otorine, Ira, and Yumine were still treading along the hallways. Though, as they pass through the area, the Gods, Goddesses, heroes, and heroines were still having bad rumors about them. Somehow, they weren't gossiping about Otorine, instead it was Ira this time around.
”Isn't that Goddess Ira? The one who was put in the court recently? Since, she was accused of letting DISTORTION to infect herself and her world?”,
the teenage-looking Goddess whispered, as she and her friend passed-by.
”Yeah that's her alright but, the coucil said it wasn't true and she's not a true DISTORTED GODDESS somehow. Since, there were no OTHERWORLDLY ANOMALIES found in her world yet.”,
her friend replied.
”I still feel she's a dangerous woman to be with, same as Otorine.”,
she said back to her friend. As her friend heard the case of Otorine, her friend recalled of what happened before,
”The previous incident huh? To be really honest, I feel so scared. Since, what if my world was infiltrated by a GODSLAYER FALLEN, while my hero is still in training.”.
Even though, Ira didn't like their bad rumors about her, she just ignored their hearsays. Sadly, Otorine wasn't able to cope-up in the same way as Ira, so she felt a bit depressed, as she heard the rumors about her,
”Sigh...”.
That sudden moment, Yumine patted Otorine's shoulder. Then, Yumine masked a a bright shining smile of the morning sun that would break anyone's cold and negative sentiments,
”Don't let it get to you Ori!”.
Otorine had stopped feeling down, as she heard and saw her best friend's supportive words. Sooner or later, the three of them had arrived at the destined place that had been shown on the map before. The three Goddesses tried to enter through the door, although it was locked, so they were only able to sneak a peek. Thereon, they saw that there was a serious meeting going on, as they were all seated like they were in a classroom of sorts. They've noticed that the li'l and innocent-looking Nassus was with the other heroes of various forms and appearances for some unusual reason. They looked-like they were legendary and magnificent looking characters that you'd see from a massive multiplayer online role playing game, mmorpg for short. In front of them was a strict-looking Goddess who was very disciplined with a black stick on her left hand. She discussed to them such as she was teacher of high status,
”We called all of you here, since the GODSLAYER FALLENS had been let loose. You do realize that you'll need to do your duties, as you are all heroes who were chosen by your specific Gods and Goddesses.”.
Strange thing is, the heroes didn't like to be a part of this matter, even though it was serious. Since, they weren't involved in the said incident that happened in Fallens Heavenly prison recently. Their looks weren't filled with interest in any way.
”Oh c'mon...why should WE help them?”,
one of them said. Then another hero expressed with added humor in his irritated look,
”Yeah! What he said! I'll only do this if my GODDESS IS IN F*CKIN' DANGER and she's always in danger since she's a KLUTZ! URGH!”.
The other heroes and heroines had also disagreed on their stand of capturing the said Fallens. As for Nassus, he was just glancing around such as he was an innocent kid who doesn't know what's really going on. The Goddess in front of them heard their sentiments so she was convinced,
”I see, so all of you disagree on cooperating with them to capture the said Fallens. Nevertheless, if ever one of the GODSLAYER FALLENS shows up on your specific worlds, you still have to do what you must, to keep Celestia Heavens safe.”.
Afterwards, she asked them,
”Any questions regarding this matter? If you do, please raise your hand.”.
Young Nassus rasied his hand. The Goddess told him to stand up. She asked him what was his question. Nassus asked her like he was a sweet and shy little kid who knows nothing,
”Ummm...what are heroes?”.
The wind wooshed for a second, as Nassus let out a basic question out of the blue. Even Otorine, Yumine, and Ira couldn't believe from what they had heard. The next moment, all of the heroes were widely shocked,
”EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH?!”.
Thereupon, the Goddess lost her serious nature and told him like she was a caring teacher to a kindergarten student,
”Uhhmmmm Nassus, heroes are well...those who would do everything to save their world and their Goddesses.”.
For some reason, the other heroes had strange rumors within themselves, as they were shocked that Nassus had lost all of his memories totally. Since, they had just suspected that he had just lost a small amount before. Soon, a hero told his companion who had a horn, while he was pointing at little Nassus,
”Hey, isn't that the guy who killed you on one of your previous lives, took that certain Goddess away from you, and turned her into one of his GODDESS SLAVES before?”.
The classy looking-guy with one horn replied back with utter composure,
”As a matter a fact yes but now, I've moved on and chose to live in my current world devoting myself to my better Goddess wife.”.
His friend laughed,
”Ha-ha! Well she has the traits of an ideal wife I'd say!”.
Though, the classy guy was filled with some kind of doubts for someone,
”I wonder how Goddess Amora is doing though.”.
His friend responded to his doubts,
”I heard she's still single.”.
Then, the classy looking hero took a long stare at Nassus who was full of innocence. He felt some kind of pity as he kept on looking at the state of his previous enemy before,
”To be honest, I feel quite sorry for him now, since he was just fulfilling his ambitions of saving that Goddess Ira he said. I even pity him now, since he had turned into a child and he had forgotten he held dear, especially the love of Goddess Otorine for him.”.
Soon, Nassus asked another question,
”Okay and ummm are all the Goddesses really beautiful like you and Ori onee-sama?”.
The Goddess blushed and lost all of her composure,
”Ahhhh well yes...ehehehe...”.
A certain hero grinned as he heard that unfamiliar term,
”Onee-sama huh...I wonder who taught him that MAN OF CULTURE word.”.
Lots of the heroes irked, as they heard that degenarate term when they heard that from the young Nassus who looked too innocent. Though, there was a hot yet, weird-looking heroine who got turned on when little Nassus told that cringey term,
”He said ELDER SISTER! Okay...that's kinda cute!”.
Then, another heroine told her such as she was a disgusted and shocked teenage friend,
”Are you interested in a criminal now? Geez!”.
The three Goddesses were also flabbergasted as well, since they had seen and heard everything going on inside the meeting room. Soon, Yumine had stopped peeking and praised little Nassus, since he used that strange term,
”I must say, he's learning a lot from me eh-he-he-he-he...”.
Ira just sighed and had stopped peeking as well. For some reason, Otorine was still locked into staring at the whole scene that was happening inside the room. Though, her expression was chilling to the bone that would strike fear to anyone,
”Yumi? Do you still have that dog leash?”.
Yumine gulped, as she felt kinda worried for a second, since she can clearly see Otorine's cold and malicious aura leaking out. Yumine tried to be cautious upon responding back,
”Ummmm yeah...what are you gonna use for it though.”.
Otorine replied back straight, while she was still staring at the meeting room,
”I'm gonna put Nassus in his place...”.
Ira was terrified of Otorine's nightmarish air. Even Yumine was nervous of her friend becoming desperate and terrifying. Though, she tried to break the scary air by telling,
”I guess someone's jealous when li'l Nassus called that other Goddess beautiful.”.
Otorine turned to look at them and shouted back,
”I AM NOT JEALOUS!”.
