Moran knew his premonition was correct.

Fortunately, he believed in himself.

If Ereshkigal continues to cover up like this, there's no telling how serious the situation will become.

"Ahem... I'm sorry... I thought I could hold on..."

Ereshkigal was forcing a smile.

She didn't want to appear so painful, nor did she want Moran to look distressed.

That’s right, the man in front of me had a look of heartache on his face.

The arms holding themselves are very strong.

She originally thought you would come later, so that you could adjust yourself by then.

[At least it’s okay to hold on a little longer]

[However, she underestimated your observation skills and Moran's care and love for her.]

【But, what is going on? 】

[This body is clearly in pain as if it is plagued by illness, but why do I feel so happy in his arms? ]

[Sure enough, she is a greedy and stupid goddess]

Ereshkigal knew he couldn't hide.

[I also know that I will be scolded]

[Now that she's been exposed, she has nothing to hide and can only explain everything she's done.]

Those private judgments made because of longing

[Many cases of misusing public power for personal gain]

".....You really are...really...hopelessly stupid..."

Moran is now angry and annoyed.

However, when he learned that Ereshkigal missed him too much and took these actions.

He didn't know why he felt happy.

Is it the joy of being loved?

It's not clear, but he was definitely filled with regret, and extremely complicated emotions were surging in his heart.

In the end, it can only turn into a helpless sigh.

"Mmm...Moran...if you want to scold me, scold me...I know you must be very angry..."

Ereshkigal also knew that he shouldn't do this.

But she couldn't suppress her longing.

Rather than the current situation where Moran was hugging him and falling into silence, she hoped that Moran would start scolding her.

"...I'm so angry I don't know what to say. I was wondering why there are stupid women like you in the world."

"Well... I can't help it... I just miss you so much... I can only see you seven days a month, this is too tempting... cough cough..."

Ereshkigal was still very weak.

The strength to speak is forced out.

She had sworn a vow based on her divinity not to use her power for her own benefit.

If you use your power for your own benefit, you will lose it and become weaker. This oath is absolutely unchangeable, just like a sunflower chooses to follow the rules of photosynthesis.

Rather than calling it a vow, it’s more like her way of life.

She still doesn't regret it.

[First, due to personal feelings, the living were given the right to exist and the right to pass.]

【Given what you did in the underworld】

Ereshkigal was able to skirt the oath, but when she opened the main road to the underworld, it was already an extremely obvious abuse of public power for personal gain.

[Currently, the Age of Gods has not yet perished]

[There is no need for the Underworld to open a main road to Uruk. This will not be of much help in the construction of the Underworld.]

[No matter how Eresh-Kigal conceals it]

She knew it was for her own sake.

Even she herself is fully aware of this, and it is naturally impossible to avoid the punishment of the oath.

[However, opening up the main road is not a big deal]

[Plus, your existence is indeed very important to the construction of the underworld, which also makes the punishment of the oath less severe.]

Ereshkigal seems to have a severe cold.

There are no major life problems.

"However, it's a blessing that you discovered it early. Otherwise, if Ereshkigal had continued to force it, her condition would have been even worse. This is a blessing in disguise."

[As long as Ereshkigal stops opening the main road and recuperates for a while, he will recover.]

[No matter what she says, she is the mistress of the underworld]

[This level of oath punishment will not damage the foundation]

[But, it will definitely be uncomfortable]

[Not only that, she will also have to endure a lecture from you. You will not let her do such a thing again in the future.]

"Don't do this anymore."

For the past half hour, Ereshkigal had been being taken care of by Moran while also being lectured.

Moran showed unprecedented severity.

Apart from being strict, he also showed his concern for her.

Ereshkigal could sense this.

She felt guilty for causing Moran so much worry and distress.

However, if she were to choose again, I'm afraid this goddess would still make the same choice.

Moran is also aware of this.

If he could achieve this joy and love, Ereshkigal would certainly not care about himself.

"Well........"

Ereshkigal was held in Moran's arms.

A blush appeared on her little face.

It seems that the condition is much better than before.

".....Are you still cold?"

“No, it’s not cold, it’s warm…”

Moran didn't just hold Ereshkigal.

He also used the divine body barrier to summon the fire power of Hephaestus, the god of fire, to melt her coldness with that heat.

"Do you understand what you've done? It's already a stretch to grant me privileges, and now you're forging the main path. You've defended the underworld for thousands of years, finally showing this happy smile. If you disappear now, what's the point?"

And, Ereshkigal, do you think I'm a man who would choose between my happiness and your pain?!"

It was precisely because of his concern for Ereshkigal.

That's why Moran was angry with her.

"I, I just chose what's best for the underworld. As the mistress of the underworld, I don't think I did anything wrong!"

"...Are you serious?"

"Seriously! In my eyes... Moran, you... are as important as the Underworld... So, can't I choose a win-win situation? I want the Underworld, but I also want to be with you forever..."

Ereshkigal raised his head timidly.

She admitted her greed and knew how naive her words were.

However, she will not deny her essential divinity.

The only thing that frightened her was Moran's denial and abandonment.

"......"

Moran looked at Ereshkigal's face.

Listening to the girl's wish.

For a moment, he also thought of himself.

The self who once refused to compromise with fate and struggled, the greedy self who longed for all happiness.

When it comes to happiness, everyone is greedy.

Moran smiled bitterly and said, "Ah... I lost to you... As expected, if we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door..."

"When did we become a family?!"

"Huh? Isn't it?"

"Wow wow... I, no... I... I didn't mean that... You and I..."

Ereshkigal was already weak.

It is even more unstoppable when faced with such embarrassing questions.

I just feel dizzy.

"Ereshkigal, what I want to say is that I don't want you to become so weak that you turn into a garula spirit. You might not realize how serious it is. If you do, you might even forget your own memories.

The weakening of divinity and the loss of self are very terrible. I am afraid that by then, you might even forget me."

Moran thought of Britain.

His expression also became much heavier.

He didn't want Ereshkigal to go through that kind of experience, and he himself definitely didn't want to see her become like this.

"Even if you have another chance, you won't be the same person you are now. You may not have the same personality as you do now. And you may not have the chance to meet me again!"

"Oh... is... is that so... won't it be a more romantic encounter next time?"

"That's a genius! Just how strong is your girlish attribute!?"

This really made Moran laugh.

He really didn't expect Ereshkigal to say that. It was a really laughable answer.

Too naive, and too girlishly innocent.

But it was this kind of Ereshkigal that made Moran feel that he had to accompany and save him.

"No, no... Hmm... My basic divine nature/personality is even darker than it is now. If that's the case, I'm starting to worry about whether I can have a smooth conversation..."

"This isn't some shojo manga plot. How could such a good thing happen? My dear lady, please take care of yourself."

“S-Sorry…!”

Ereshkigal was so embarrassed that he buried his head in Moran's chest.

She felt dizzy due to weakness.

I couldn't stop talking, and I spilled all my thoughts. I was so embarrassed.

"Why....."

Moran shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Look at the beauty in your arms.
