I really didn't want to burn it.

P.S.: When Ishtar was being worshipped, there were actually programs that recreated her journey to the underworld.

Although the core of the show is to celebrate the goddess's return to earth and pray for a bountiful harvest.

Komi-chan thinks that the part where the priestess did a striptease at the beginning was actually the essence of the whole ceremony~ (thumbs up)

Chapter 195 Ai Lei: Lord Li Ang, please have a seat.

"Why... why..."

Ishtar exhaled a plume of black smoke, her meticulously styled long black hair curled up from the electric shock, and her fair body was stained with many marks from the shock.

Fortunately, with the goddess's blessing, her body was strong enough.

Even after being electrocuted like this, Ishtar was still unharmed.

After shaking her body vigorously, Ishtar's body immediately returned to normal...

Hmm, it doesn't seem like that.

Looking at Ishtar, whose size had noticeably shrunk, Leon almost burst out laughing again.

“I warned you, this is your sister’s territory.” Li Ang tried his best to keep his expression at a mere smile. “You’re the one who insisted on testing the waters.”

What else can I say?

Ishtar also noticed the strangeness in her body. She looked at Leon and DD, who were suddenly a head taller than her, and all she could think was "mmp" (a vulgar expression of frustration).

"Is she really my sister? She took off her clothes and shrank my height. She's not satisfied until she makes me bald!"

Ishtar stood with her hands on her hips, grumbling at the still-closed stone door.

"Alright, let me do it."

Leon gestured for Ishtar to step back, then announced "the correct answer" to the stone gate.

"Ereshkigal is prettier than Ereshkigal."

[The answer is correct.]

The sound coming from the stone gate was clearly tinged with joy, and even the sound of the gate opening this time was much more pleasant than before.

"But it's still a bit noisy."

Li Ang rubbed his ears and complained softly.

Ishtar's attention was not on the door at all.

"How dare she be so narcissistic! Doesn't she even know what she looks like!"

DD shook his head slightly at Ishtar.

"While that's true, I think you're not much worse than your sister."

"Heh heh heh~ I don't believe it!" Ishtar sneered. "I want to see what other tricks she can pull!"

With that, Ishtar strode menacingly into the depths of the underworld.

"Hey, you guys better catch up!"

Seeing that Li Ang and DD were still standing there, Ishtar waved vigorously.

"Master, is it alright to indulge her like this?"

DD asked worriedly.

“It’s not a big problem.” Li Ang indicated to DD that there was no need to worry too much. “After all, they are still sisters, so they shouldn’t go too far… probably.”

Recalling the conflict between the two sisters, Ishtar and Ereshkigal, in the mythology, Leon's words became less certain.

"Is it really okay?"

In DD's eyes, the conflict between these goddess sisters had seriously threatened his master's plans.

Li Ang, on the other hand, laughed heartily as if nothing had happened.

In Li Ang's eyes, the two sisters' antics were nothing more than a stand-up comedy performance and wouldn't have much impact on his plans.

In fact, the moment he entered the underworld, Ishtar's mission was complete; all that remained was a purely combat tool.

As long as Ereshkigal returns the power to her sister before the fight, Leon will have no objection to it.

On the contrary, for a long-time fan of Tsukihime, what could be more enjoyable than watching two tsundere Rin bickering?

Hmm... it seems there really is.

"Should we add Sakura in?"

Li Ang considered the feasibility of his plan.

When he went to Fuyuki City before, the Matou family had been bombed into ruins for unknown reasons.

As a result, Li Ang's plan to save the little girl came to nothing.

According to Kiritsugu, the Matou family perished in an explosion caused by a gas leak.

However, those who know about the "gas leak" in the Type-Moon universe understand.

This excuse is as absurd as the United States pointing at a tube of "laundry detergent" and claiming it's a weapon of mass destruction.

According to Kiritsugu's relatively accurate account, the Matou family appears to have been caught up in a strange summoning ritual. This is because Kiritsugu detected a trace of Servant summoning in the aftermath of the explosion.

Unfortunately, this happened after the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Kiritsugu was already retired, so he had neither the interest nor the ability to find out what exactly happened to the Matou family.

Of course, Li Ang felt that even if Kiritsugu investigated, he probably wouldn't find anything.

I apologize for saying this, but Kiritsugu's magic skills are really not that great; he's not even as good as his wife, whose age is forever frozen at 9.

Li Ang suspected that Sakura might have been possessed and summoned away by Kama or Parvati for some reason.

This made Li Ang feel a little relieved that Ying had been freed from suffering, but also a little regretful.

Sakura was so cute... It's a pity we can't see her anymore.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Just as Li Ang was recalling the specific storyline of the Indian group in FGO, he heard another bloodcurdling scream.

Ishtar was electrocuted again.

"Hey you, are you an M?"

Li Ang looked helplessly at Ishtar, who had shrunk even further and was kneeling on the ground.

It's said that Saint Seiya warriors don't fall twice to the same move, so why does this goddess seem to never learn from her mistakes?

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I will never forgive her!"

Ishtar was filled with impotent rage, pounding the ground with her fists and making sounds of resentment.

Li Ang felt that it was purely Ishtar's own fault for being so impulsive. She had already closed the door, so why did she still go and offer herself up?

"Let me do it."

DD stepped forward and answered the question from the seventh door.

Actually, it's not difficult at all. Just praise Ereshkigal like you did with the previous door.

"Goddesses are indeed capricious creatures."

As the stone gate slowly opened, DD commented as follows.

"Because she's a goddess, it's only natural for her to be capricious."

Leon laughed heartily, and he took Ishtar's hand, pulling her through the stone gate.

Ishtar now only reaches Leon's waist, and is about the same size as a typical little girl.

At the end of the passage was a wide, flat area, which looked somewhat like a square in modern society, and in the center of the flat area was a stone throne.

However, this throne mountain is very shabby, without any decoration, and its shape is just a very simple stone chair.

If it weren't for the power of the underworld emanating from the throne, probably no one would think it was the throne of the underworld.

"We've arrived at our destination. So, where is the Goddess of the Underworld?"

DD looked around, a hint of confusion flashing across his face.

“I think she probably wanted to give us a surprise,” Li Ang said, looking at Ishtar who was holding his hand. “It’s a rare reunion between sisters, so of course it should be a special occasion.”

"What kind of bullshit sense of ritual is this!"

Ishtar gritted her teeth and said, "Stripping people of their clothes and forcibly shrinking them—such despicable methods are simply inhuman!"

A certain hidden goddess, upon hearing her younger sister's complaints, hesitated for a moment before realizing she had heard a heavenly voice and couldn't help but chime in.

"Oh dear, which little sister is so violent, ignorant, and always going against her older sister? Don't take your own problems out on others, okay? Hehehe... I'm just punishing you for your disrespect."

A rustling sound, like the rubbing of cloth, came from the darkness.

Then, a blonde beauty who looked very much like Ishtar emerged from the shadows.

"Hey?"

DD and Li Ang were both taken aback.

However, DD was surprised by the fact that the other person had the exact same face as Ishtar, while Leon was surprised by the thin bathrobe the other person was wearing.

“I’m sorry, Lord Leon.” Ereshkigal bowed slightly and tossed her half-wet golden hair. “I was taking a bath just now, so I was a little late.”

Li Ang did not answer, but simply nodded slowly.

At this moment, his gaze toward Ereshkigal grew increasingly serious.

"Taking a shower at this hour... What's in your head? Is it all mush?!"

Ishtar jumped up and down cursing. If Leon had stopped her, she probably would have rushed up and fought Ereshkigal to the death.

"Calm down, Ishtar. You can't beat her."

"Well……"

Ishtar lowered her head, on the verge of tears. Although what she said was true, wasn't it a bit too much for you to be so direct, Lord Utnabistim?

Ereshkigal smiled happily. She knelt down in front of Ishtar, stretched out her fair and delicate arm from her bathrobe, and gently touched Ishtar's head.

"Oh dear, whose child is this? Could she be Lord Leon's daughter?" Ereshkigal ruffled Ishtar's head with anything but gentle touch. "Little sister, may I ask who your mother is?"

"Mom, you old mother!"

Ishtar reached out to bite her sister's hand, but her sister easily dodged it.

"Hmph, my foolish sister, this is what happens when you're rude." Ereshkigal's fake smile vanished, replaced by an arrogant expression. "If you had at least knocked, I wouldn't have punished you like this."

“I did knock,” Ishtar replied defiantly.

"That's practically blowing up the door."

Even DD couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, now you should reflect on your actions."

Ereshkigal took two steps back and sat on the throne.

She casually crossed one leg over the other, revealing her fair thighs and exuding a unique allure.

Snapped.

Ereshkigal snapped his fingers, and a stone table and chairs rose up in front of Leon and the others.

"Lord Li Ang, please have a seat."

Ereshkigal's voice was melodious and beautiful; even a simple sentence was like the most moving melody in the world, making people's imaginations run wild.

"No, I won't sit."

Li Ang resolutely refused.

"Sit down, you big dummy! What do you think you're doing, woman?"

In his heart, the wary Li Ang directly complained.

They've taken a liking to you and want to invite you to be their son-in-law.
