600 Reason to Take a Disciple (2/2)
Strictly speaking, even if Yale learned about that a minute before the start, he would be able to teleport Shiba to his side, so that trick was useless against him.
Kroh had already taken Kanai as a disciple before she reached godship long ago, and she already was a Great God, so it wouldn't be a problem for Kroh either.
Yale was worried about Alrein since he didn't know if Alrein had a disciple that powerful, but there were a lot of powerful people in Alrein's generation, the problem was if he had accepted anyone as a disciple in the past.
”Good girl. Now I will give your reward.”
Yale patted Barha's head by instinct since he felt like if he was speaking with someone of Wyba's country rather than a True Goddess, but Barha seemed to like it.
As he promised, Yale changed to half-beast form and hugged Wyba, leaving Barha very pleased.
”Now, hug me.”
Yale didn't expect that Barha would have another request after that.
”Why?”
People usually begged Barha to let them hug her, yet she always refused, so it was shocking that she requested it.
”Because it is unfair that my disciple can enjoy it, and I can't.”
That reason was unreasonable, but Yale decided to just hug her and avoid an argument.
”No, my big brother is mine. No matter how cute you are, I won't give my big brother to you!”
Wyba needed to admit that Barha was very cute. Cute enough to make Wyba acknowledged her as her master without hesitation, but the position as Yale's little sister wasn't something that she was going to give to anyone else.
”I don't want to steal your brother, just let him hug me a bit. You can also come to hug me together with him if you want. I won't reject the hug of my cute disciple.”
Barha owned real size plushies of Yale and Wyba, so she wanted to feel how it was being hugged by the real ones. She really wasn't thinking about anything else; it was just because she wanted to be hugged.
”Don't worry, Wyba. No one will steal your place. We can just hug her together, alright? She will be teaching you from now on, you need to treat her well.”
Given Wyba's personality, Yale felt that Barha was really suited to be her master, so he wasn't planning to stop her. Yale didn't think that the Council of Gods would put a deadly method to decide the hierarchy. If the method was something similar to sending the disciples to death, Yale would rather use strength against the Council of Gods.
Although Yale could resurrect them, he wouldn't let them die just for that reason. He didn't want to become a monster that didn't care for the lives of anyone else just because he could resurrect them. It was just for those thoughts that the Gods Calamity happened.
”I understand.”
Wyba stopped arguing and went to hug Barha. Yale followed her.
Usually, True Gods would have harsh requirements to accept a disciple, having a True Goddess asking Wyba to become her disciple was already something for what a lot of people would use their whole fortune. Moreover, Barha didn't have other disciples since she never cared about that, so Wyba wouldn't need to face other jealous disciples like sometimes happened when a True God picked a new disciple.
”Thank you! I am happy now.”
Barha smiled while speaking. If it wasn't because Yale had his consciousness in another dimension separated from his body, he felt that he wouldn't have been able to resist the charm of the True Cuteness Divinity. It was really a scary one, but Yale wasn't interested in it.
Everyone with the Cuteness Divinity showed serious problems of naivety, and while that naivety could be cute and trick opponent unconsciously, that trait didn't fit Yale's personality.
Only those naturally compatible would obtain that Divinity, like Wyba, but others wouldn't even be interested in having it.
