I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

Is Ereshkigal, who is not possessed and whose personality is influenced by the body of the miko, really so shy and has such a cute personality?

Russell was already prepared to battle wits and courage with the hostess in the underworld.

but now......

Russell looked at the panel in front of him and felt that things were going too smoothly.

[Ereshkigal Favorability +5]

[Not only does possession magic affect a person's personality, but love can too.]

Love?

What on earth is the goddess Ereshkigal thinking?

Is there really anyone who would do this kind of self-tactics?

However, considering that one of the three major illusions in life is "he/she likes me", Russell did not dwell on this point, but just smiled with surprise and said in astonishment.

"I never expected that the true form of the goddess Ereshkigal would be so majestic and towering."

Ereshkigal heard Russell's words but did not react.

She just stared at Russell's smile.

Even those warm eyes were filled with joy at seeing her.

The blinking eyelashes and the curve of the mouth corners all constitute this smile, like the first ray of morning light piercing the eternal night of the underworld.

But after all, it was just an ordinary smile, so why did she care so much?

That's right...

When doubts arose, Ereshkigal had already arrived at the answer.

Because, before this, no one had ever smiled because of her.

She never got the smile that belonged to her.

Death is the most terrifying thing in the world, and the goddess who controls death is the most feared existence in the world.

How could those souls who came to the underworld show her a truly happy and joyful smile?

How could the gods smile happily at her if they despised her?

Until now, there was only one person who was happy just because he saw her, happy just because he got her response, and showed her a sincere smile without hesitation.

Her originally flustered and nervous mood suddenly became calm.

only......

Majestic and upright?

Ereshkigal came to his senses and realized that he was still in a state of illusion.

Without the slightest hesitation, she showed her true goddess appearance.

A face very similar to Ishtar, but showing a beauty completely different from Ishtar.

The beauty of Ereshkigal is the coldness of having been through frost for a long time, and her expression is unconsciously displayed, which is colder than the moonlight.

The obsidian-woven crown holds down her hair, and the long golden hair falls like a golden waterfall, with every strand of hair reflecting the glimmer of the soul.

Her pale skin, untouched by the sun, did not display the weakness often associated with this complexion.

But it doesn't look like warm white jade, it's more like solid ice that has been sealed since time immemorial.

There were no excessive ornaments, and Russell only saw a few thin chains wrapped around Ereshkigal's waist.

"Are you surprised by the goddess' true appearance?"

Ereshkigal remained calm, suppressing his shyness at being stared at by Russell, as well as an inexplicable feeling.

But the clinking sound of the chains wrapped around her waist sounded very much like the shy sound of a human girl fiddling with her hair.

Russell showed a surprised expression at the right moment and praised: "I am surprised by the beauty of the goddess."

"Humph."

The spear in Ereshkigal's hand unconsciously drew scorch marks on the land of the underworld. Although the smile seemed stiff, he couldn't suppress it at the corner of his mouth.

That’s how it turns out…

Ereshkigal suddenly realized that she couldn't remember the last time she laughed.

Could this emotion in my heart be what people often call joy?

Despite the joy in his heart, Ereshkigal uttered harsh words.

"Although you have good taste, I have no interest in mere humans. Living things are very..."

Very......

Before he even finished speaking, Ereshkigal felt a little regretful.

It has been too long since I communicated with anyone, and when I communicated with those people or gods before, we didn't have a good impression of each other.

Don’t you know how to speak anymore?

Shouldn't I say something nice now?

Ereshkigal's heart, which had finally calmed down, was disturbed again.

"However, if you insist, I am willing...willing to accept your compliment."

Is this a good thing to say?

Ereshkigal became even more upset.

"I insist and reiterate your beauty."

Russell paid no attention to Ereshkigal's harsh words.

If people grow up in an environment without love and respect, they will also develop a hedgehog-like personality.

Yearning for light, pursuing love and respect, but not knowing how to treat it, and even not trusting that love and respect will truly come.

They will use repeated questions to confirm the authenticity of this love and respect, and even use some means that may destroy the relationship to make sure that the other person will not leave.

Russell didn't know which one Ereshkigal was, but he didn't mind being more patient.

after all......

[Ereshkigal Favorability +5]

Ereshkigal: 90 (Happy)

【I didn’t see any operation, just leave it as it is! 】

Rank 4 Open

Rank 4: Hymn of Death - Praising death and moving towards the death of all things. Ereshkigal symbolizes death and has the ability to cause plants to rot and life to become sick.

You gain the ability to cause plants to rot and weaken life.

After all, others may not be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood and may be hurt by your hypocritical words.

However, he did not need to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of the words. He could see through the thorny words and see the soft heart of Ereshkigal.

16. Ishtar: How could this happen!!!

"Ishtar, repent!"

The gods at the divine assembly finally came to their senses from the disaster caused by Ishtar.

They only regretted why Ishtar was not imprisoned for a longer period of time, or for a shorter period of time.

This Ishtar, why doesn't she do anything during her confinement?

He did something so big as soon as he came out?

However, Ishtar is a goddess who grew up in front of everyone.

Even when he made a mistake like exterminating Mount Ebifu, the gods did not blame him too much and just put him in solitary confinement.

But this time, the situation is really different, and it concerns the fate of the gods.

Even Anu, who is more like a father to his biological father than his biological father, knows that he has to give everyone a way out.

Ishtar must also be given a chance to atone for her sins.

otherwise......

Anu also didn't know how the gods would forgive Ishtar.

He sighed and looked at Enki or Nanna, hoping that the two gods would come up with a plan.

If Anu is portrayed as a doting godfather, Nannar is portrayed as a serious father.

As for Enki, he is a wise and kind father.

Anu is the father who allows Ishtar to act up and helps her deal with the consequences.

Nanna was extremely mysterious and strict with his daughter, but because of the presence of Anu and Enki, Ishtar was not willing to be disciplined.

Enki is the most benevolent of gods, and his power is only used for good deeds.

Although bad elements who create disputes and massacres will be punished, the means are limited to avoiding or disarming the opponent.

Moreover, when Enlil was furious, only the good-tempered Enki could comfort him.

But after Enlil unleashed a devastating flood, Enki became even more disgusted with him.

Speaking of Enlil...

No one liked Enlil.

This violent god is a cruel god who will destroy the city-states that believe in Nanna because his son, the moon god Nanna, has too many followers.

Not to mention, Nanna's mother was also forcibly taken by Enlil.

The Sumerian gods were very human and most of them were good gods.

In this situation, it was normal for Enlil to be disliked. Because of his forcible possession of Nanna's mother, he was even banished to the underworld by the gods. He was not allowed to return to heaven until he gave birth to children such as Nanna, the moon goddess.

Unexpectedly, Enki did not speak. Although he was known as the god of wisdom, he could not find a suitable reason for a moment.

Instead, it was the mysterious Old Man of the Moon who came up with his own solution at the first opportunity.

"Ishtar, go down to the underworld and bring back Lugalbanda."

"Ah? Am I going to the underworld?"

Ishtar couldn't believe that Nanna actually proposed such a plan. She pointed at herself tremblingly with a dull expression.

She went to the underworld?

Is this true or not...

Aren’t you afraid that neither she nor Lugalbanda will come back?

Seeing Ishtar's tearful and terrified expression, all the gods except Enlil felt a little soft-hearted for a moment.

Although Nanna was touched, he still did not change his attitude and indicated that his plan would not change.

Enji wanted to speak and say something.

As the god of wisdom, he naturally came up with this plan.

The reason for not using this plan was because he knew that this plan was too cruel for Ishtar.

As a wise and loving father, Enki wanted to find a better solution.

but now......

Before Enki could speak, Ishtar found him first and cried, "Enki, you must help me! I know I got you drunk and stole the treasure you were guarding, making you a laughingstock of the gods. But I truly know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and help me one more time!"

Enki, who had just wavered, suddenly became unwavering.

If you hadn't told him, he would have forgotten about it.

With a kind smile on his face, Enki soothed.

"Ishtar, I would have forgiven you for that matter long ago. However, the mistake you made this time was too big, and you still need to make amends yourself."

"Hey! Why is this happening..."
