12 Chapter 11. (1/2)

(POV Megumi)

My husband really likes to pose. What's even stranger is that this poor child is eating it up like every word spoken was gold. It strangely reminded me of a starving dog whose eyes would sparkle the moment it saw a pile of bones on the side of the road.

Is this child actually really stupid? Or did my husband really say something profound earlier?

No matter how I looked at it, dearest husband clearly pulled those words out of his ass. Though it would be rude of me as his wife to point it out and interfere between the relationship of two men. Hah, being a good and loving wife can be more difficult than I expected. I could only shake my head while I wondered if things were really alright as they were.

I'm really not getting any younger though. I kind of rushed into matters of marriage after I found him without really getting to know him. But he is probably the only one I can marry in this lifetime. My name may be translated as goddess of fortune; however, the harsh reality is that I am a goddess of calamity.

Looking over at dearest husband, a bright light still radiated in all directions away from him. The light given off by him represents an immense wealth of fortune. When I first discovered the vast aura of fortune within his world, surprisingly enough the source of the overwhelming fortune that triggered my sneeze was this adorable husband. A big reason why I was adamant on saving him was because of this. Of course, only I can see this aura of fortune.

Dearest husband may very well be the most fortunate man in existence. His light shines and illuminates this entire realm. Although born as a goddess of calamity, I was luckily born with such a rare ability to identify the light of fortune and misfortune. Not even my father is aware I have such an ability.

Lately an aura of great misfortune had built up around father. The only way I could think of to overcome the possible calamity that may befall father was to counteract the overwhelming misfortune with great fortune. I volunteered to find potential disciples for father with these thoughts in mind. Initially my objective was to gather the most fortunate individuals I could find and have them surround my father in hopes that it could curb the calamity.

During my search I was lucky enough to stumble upon this endless fountain of eternal fortune, my husband. Just how many grandmothers did he help cross the street in his previous life to have such an overabundance of fortune as a mere mortal? He's like a male prostitute flashing it about everywhere he goes. As a goddess of calamity how can I keep my self away from all that fortune?

I even find myself losing my self control wishing to pounce on husband to bask in his good fortune. It's so bad that I end up coming across as a thirsty mistreated wife asking for some loving. I can only curse my fate being born as a goddess of calamity. I even worry about what would happen if I suddenly ran into someone with a fortune stronger than this husband of mine. Would I suddenly jump ship like some cheap whore? It's worrying you know! I'm married now! I can't have thoughts of cheating on my dearest husband! I am a faithful little wife after all. But… if husband were to cheat… would it be fine if I did too?

I could only shake my head strongly to disperse these sinful and treacherous thoughts. What is this little wife thinking? Husband has such a beautiful and considerate wife, how can he dare cheat on this wife of his?

If he were to cheat, he he.

I would like to meet the woman that dared touch what is mine. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not the psychotic type. I wouldn't really harm them if they dared touch husband. However, he he, I'm not nice enough to let them live. Don't worry I won't harm their chances to reincarnate. I'm not that heartless.

If husband saw the smile on my face right now, I'm sure he could die happy once again. Though f he knew what I was really thinking, I really wonder how he would react. Would he be scared? Would he still like me? I wonder if he likes woman with a slightly loose screw? Really, what type of woman does husband like? Hmm. This deserves some heavy research.

Maybe I can ask daddy for some insight seeing as he read his memory before.

More importantly though.

The most important question is...

Does he have an ex?!

Also, what about his family? I haven't even introduced myself yet. We must definitely find some time to pay a visit. Even if they are mortals, greeting ones in-laws is a must. Ah, forgive this unfilial daughter in law of yours my unknown mother and father-in-law. Hah, so many things to do and so little time considering they are mere mortals.

Ah! I almost completely forgot, daddy. I somehow got so far off track my original thoughts. Being a daughter and a wife is such a difficult task.

Somewhere far, far away.

I was not aware of it, but a certain father had an ugly expression and started crying for some unknown unspeakable reason.

Upon father meeting my husband I did manage to prove my theory that fortune could overcome father's calamity. When father was face to face with my husband, the misfortune surrounding father weakened significantly. Upon seeing that, I steeled my resolve and I was determined to marry this big fish and keep him tightly wrapped around my little finger.

I do feel slightly guilty that just being near me saps away at his fortune, but when he is by my side it neutralizes my powers as a goddess of calamity. It feels like I am using him just for his fortune and it breaks my heart a bit every time I think about it.

It's like I'm a cheap prostitute only after his wealth. Once that wealth runs out, we may end up going our separate ways. I fear that I may bring harm to him if he is unable to counteract the calamities brought about by me if his fortune ran out. I can only pray that his fortune does not wane. If such eternal fortune truly existed I could die happy and content. I may be using husband with my own motives in mind but I truly don't want dearest husband to be endangered because of me.

Therefore, in return, I will give my everything to him to make up for my sinful ways. Be it my heart, body, or soul I will inevitably lay it all bare in repentance for lusting after his wealth. Am I a cheap person for acting in such a way?

I can only hope and pray dearest husband will be accepting of the filthy me if I were to ever reveal the truth to him. At first it was for my selfishness but interacting with husband has been rather joyful.
