97 They got her Gender Wrong (2/2)
However, I could say first hand that this depiction of God is incorrect. I've seen God myself and he looks nothing like this statue. Rather, God's appearance was one of a young man in his early twenties and was someone who's devoted to playing video games.
”So on the left side of God, there's Michael and Lucifer. To the right of God is Gabrielle and Raphael,” the tour guide continued.
Lucifer... does she mean Ralus? I stared at the statue of Lucifer, taking in the face of a handsome young man. For some reason, his statue depicted a young man wearing nothing but what appeared to be a towel around his waist. As for the body, it was quite muscular, but on the leaner side. Instead, the statue next to it, Michael, was more muscular as it depicted an older man with a stern expression on his face.
Then, there's the statue of the two angel's present next to me. First, there was Gabrielle. The statue was of a feminine looking man in his late teens, dressed in a rose colored tunic. The pose of the statue was weird as well, being one that appeared somewhat unnaturally feminine and appeared extremely weird when the statue was of a young man.
Then, there was Raphael. His statue was of a young child who clung onto Gabrielle's hand. The facial expression of the statue was made to be as if the child was insecure about the world and needed the guidance and protection of the older and more mature figure beside it.
I glanced at Emilia and Noah, curious as to how they would react, and wasn't surprised when I discovered an irritated frown on Emilia's face as well as Noah trying his best to contain his laughter.
”How can they get my gender wrong?” Emilia muttered under her breath as she shook her head in disbelief. On her face was an irritated countenance, one that made me worried that she would bring with her a divine judgement and obliterate the world. However, she didn't do so. Instead, she grabbed Noah by his collar in order to contain him and take out her frustration.
”They made you a guy,” Noah whispered as he gasped for breath for laughing so hard.
”Hey,” Mura sighed as she looked over at Noah. ”That's quite disrespectful to the divines.”
”S-sorry,” Noah forced out as he continued to laugh.
I mean if it was me, I would probably laugh as well. Like when someone want you to stop because you're being disrespectful to yourself... that just requires you to laugh.
”I'll take care of him,” Emilia said. Her face was twitching somewhat as she forced a smile, but I could tell that she was somewhat in an angered mood. She then turned around and dragged Noah out of the temple while Noah continued to laugh as he's being literally dragged on the ground.
That tiny incident basically marked the highlight of the day. Later on, when the tour guide explained the stories in the scriptures, I could always hear sighs of disappointment from Emilia as she muttered under her breath about how they've got everything wrong in the scriptures. Noah would also giggle occasionally, but after being taught a lesson by Emilia, he reigned it in quite a bit so I guess the statues did get the part where he listened to Emilia right.
Throughout the rest of the day, we were shown one other historical site in the city before we returned to our hotel for dinner. During that time, I didn't talk much with Luna as there were constantly distractions between us. And before I realized, we were back at our hotel and finished with the dinner our school had the hotel made for us.
”Alright!” Noah said as he stood on his bed with great excitement. ”Who's ready to go take a bath in the hot springs?!”
”Me!” Zaksus raised his hand.
”Why're you in our room?” I muttered.
”Let's go boys! We bout to have some fun!” Noah said. He jumped off his bed and started for the hallway outside.
The remaining three of us then followed him out. As I walked down the hallway with a set of clothes to change into after the hot springs and my towel, I sighed. It's gonna be a long shower.
”We're not doing anything gay, right?!” I heard Zaksus shout to Noah who was already quite a distance ahead of us with a worried expression on his face.
