Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Kama remembered clearly the vow Kavia made at the Daksha fire sacrifice, and so he continued to plant flowers and inscribe his name on them.

"Aya~ Aya~ Hmm~"

In short, it was with this smile and words that the god of love planted the flower inscribed with 'Gavia'.

Not long after, the gods came to the place where Kama was, hoping that Kama, as the god of love, would help Parvati and Shiva to have a child together, so as to solve the problem of Taraka, the Asura king who was still fighting against Vishnu.

Little Kama Jpg.

Chapter 306 Shiva's Wrath Burns Kama.

Kama sat outside the house, looking down at the flowers he had planted, his fingertips fiddling with the bright red flower in his hand.

"I'll leave this matter to you and Lorty, Kama."

Whew—the God of Love couldn't help but exhale as he recalled what Indra, the King of Gods, had just said.

What Indra said was that he hoped Kama would use his authority as the god of love to make Sati, who had become Parvati, and Shiva fall in love again, and thus have a child to destroy the Asura king Taraka.

To be honest, Kama was very puzzled by this.

First of all, isn't Parvati just Sati's new name after she was baptized in the Himalayas? Everyone knows that, so why ignore it?

Very strange.

Secondly, Rhodi has been away from Kama for a long time, and is most likely currently meditating and practicing asceticism outside the Himalayas with his father, Daksha.

Finally, and this is the point that Kama was most concerned about, that is—

What if the reincarnated Gavia meets Shiva and Parvati?

Although Kama had kept a tight grip on information about what Gavia saw, heard, and knew through his pet cockatoo over the years, he rarely came into contact with sages and gods, for fear that one of the sages might suddenly kneel down before Gavia and shout, "Praise be to the Lord of the Himalayas!"

Kama was not joking about this. He felt that if he really took Kavia to the Himalayas, Vritra would probably snatch her away if he saw her... Just thinking about it made Kama feel a little unwilling. After all, he had raised her for so long, and it would be very unpleasant to give her away all at once. But Kama also understood that there was nothing he could do about it.

"Should I bring it with me? Or not...?"

Kama asked himself this question dozens, even hundreds of times, but the answer never changed.

It's better not to see him. After considering all aspects, there's only one answer—Eros himself is very clear about this.

"Ugh……"

This made Kama sigh again, put the flower in his hand aside, and rest his chin on his hands, looking up at the yellowish sky.

Judging by the time, they should be back in seventeen seconds...

Upon thinking of this, Kama's face first showed a smile, then turned indifferent, and finally settled into a calm expression.

Then--

Just as the God of Love had predicted, Gavia appeared in sight, busy acting as the proxy for the God of Love.

As if relieved, Cupid sighed, clutching his rapidly beating heart, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"came back."

"Ah."

Gavia nodded in response, "I'll go cook."

This has become a daily routine over the years. Although Kama, as a god, can go without food, he thought that Gavia should, but he was too lazy to do so, as he was only good at picking a few fruits. Therefore, he also included cooking in the options for 'testing his agent'.

The cockatoo scoffed at this. It knew perfectly well that its owner was simply too lazy, leaving all that to its poor little master while it itself slacked off. It couldn't stand watching its little master's whereabouts and friendships any longer, but the little parrot dared not speak out against it.

"Go."

Just as Kama was planning to let it go like this, and then use a drug to make Kavia unconscious the next day, he would return after successfully completing the task assigned by Indra, the god of gods.

But Gavia's next words made Cupid tremble—

Has anyone come today?

"Of course not—"

Kama wanted to deny it outright, but when he saw Gavia looking directly into his blue eyes, he carefully changed his mind.

"I've been asked to go out."

How long will you be gone?

"About a month?"

"Where to go."

"...The Celestial Realm."

"Oh? But I remember you, Kama, rarely go to the heavens."

Gavia raised her head.

Kama felt as if his thoughts had been seen through, and his ears burned with embarrassment.

"Haha, I got invited this time? Oh well, oh well..."

“Kama, you told me that as a child, I and as an elder, we shouldn’t lie to each other, right?”

He added, "You said it yourself."

damn...

Kama wanted to shake his head, but remembering that he had indeed said the same thing to Gavia, he felt it wasn't right to lie...

After all, Cupid understands that parents shouldn't tell their children things they can't do...

"...Actually, it was Indra, the God of God, who asked me to go to the Himalayas to do something."

As Kama spoke, he glanced at Gavia's face to see if she would react to his words. Fortunately, the God of Love did not see any sudden change in his child's expression, and thus breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, when Gavia learned that someone had asked Kama to go to the Himalayas, he guessed that this was probably the original Indian myth of Parvati, who wanted Kama to seduce Shiva with love so that they could rekindle their past relationship. However, the result was that Kama's ascetic practice was interrupted, and Shiva, enraged, used the anger from his eyes on his forehead to turn Kama to ashes.

There are two legends about Kama being burned to ashes by Shiva. One is that he was reincarnated as Vimalakirti, the son of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. The other is that he was burned to ashes by Shiva but did not die. He just lost his physical form and could only be a formless and shapeless deity. Therefore, Kama, the god of love, is called 'formless'. In other words, people also regard love as formless.

In the Type-Moon universe, it's clear that Kama, the god of love, met the latter end. After wandering for many years, he transformed from a god into an Asura, the evil side, and eventually became Mara, the sixth demon king, hindering the enlightenment of the awakened. However, this might also be something that the highest being in the Indian world couldn't bear to see anyone transcend the lira and karma he had set for them, and thus deliberately created.

At the same time, due to the death of her lover Kama, Parvati's wife, Rhodi, cursed Parvati, saying she could not have children. This also resulted in Parvati and Shiva's children being unable to be born through normal means.

"In that case, take me with you."

Finally, after Kama breathed a sigh of relief, Gavia said this.

"No, but this..."

A hint of worry appeared on Kama's face.

“I am your agent of love, Kama, so you should take me to this kind of event.”

"That's right..."

Kama paused, as if searching for a suitable explanation, then continued:

"...Think about it, Aya, you don't even have a proper name yet. I can't just tell all the gods I'll call you Aya, can I? That wouldn't be appropriate. After all, those are gods or immortals who value their reputation highly. It wouldn't be good if they accidentally cast a curse on you. Anyway, for your own good, you should stay here. I'll be back soon—"

“In that case, Kama, you shall address me as—”

Seeing Kama who seemed somewhat at a loss, Gavia smiled and said, "Vasundo."

“…Vasindo?”

Kama tilted his head slightly, showing both confusion at Gavia's words and discomfort at Gavia's sudden use of this unknown name.

Why not Gaya, or Moa...?

"This name represents spring, which is very suitable for me as I assist Kama in fulfilling the duties of the God of Love. That's what I think."

In Hindu mythology, Vasanta, the god of spring, was a friend of Kama, the god of love. He would help Kama prepare arrows made of sugarcane, with bees and butterflies as strings and flowers as arrowheads... However, after becoming a god of divination in Gavia and reincarnating for so many years, he never saw this god, so he used this name.

"...Spring, and love...Vasendo..."

Kama murmured to himself, as Gavia's face appeared in his eyes and passed through his mind, the god of love naturally felt that the name was wonderful.

Kama knew very well the charm of Gavia, the god who was then the lord of the Himalayas. He had a captivating and unifying power, and countless immortals and asuras worshipped him. Even Kama himself had received help from him in his youth.

Even now, though he has turned away from the great god of transformation and is no longer the symbol of the eternally cold snow mountain, the lord of winter, he still illuminates the spring for others, just as the spring sunshine warms the world after shining on the surroundings in the harsh winter.

Kama tried to calm his turbulent emotions and asked:

"How did you come up with this name...?"

"This moment."

Gavia answered earnestly, "It is a name that only Kama knows."

After these words were uttered, a brief silence fell between Kama and the silver-haired youth.

Cupid probably never expected that the child he raised would say such a thing.

"Why are you telling me this? I don't care about that name..."

Kama racked his brains, trying to find a tactful way to express himself so that his words wouldn't hurt people so much.

"If you insist on doing whatever you want, I really can't do anything about it, even though I'm not very enthusiastic about it... But considering how well you've done, anyway, anyway, I've reluctantly agreed to let you go to the Himalayas as my... person!"

Thus, the two of them traveled together to the Himalayas.

……

Earlier, at the Milky Way.

"Lord."

Indra put his hands together and said, “I have come to ask you for permission to do something important.”

"What is it, Indra? What do you want me to grant?"

“Parvati has awakened, but has yet to meet the Great God. Therefore, I have entrusted this matter to the gods of love, Kama and Loti. Your decision is needed to complete this task.”

As soon as Indra finished speaking, Narathu couldn't help but say:

"What are you saying, Indra? You know perfectly well what's going on here, how could you send Kama and Rhodi to their deaths?"

“How could you do this, Indra?”

Lakshmi, standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "At this moment, the Great Deity is falling into rejection according to the process of Lira. If Kama does this, it will lead to a serious crisis, and Kama may even be destroyed as a result."

"Don't commit such a sin, Indra. The whole world is waiting for the union of the Great God and the Maiden of the Snow Mountain to resolve the crisis. Your actions may lead us to face even greater disasters."

Narathu added insult to injury, then spoke to Vishnu.

“Lord, please let Indra face reality.”

Vishnu shook his head: "Sage, Indra's decision was not wrong, for the Great One should indeed awaken from his meditation. And sometimes, calamities are the birth of new paths, new ideas, and new systems, and this is also a test, if it is love—"

At this point, Vishnu, lying on the snake bed, paused abruptly, seemingly seeing something. Then, amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, he continued in an extremely joyful tone.

"Love and spring, so that's how it is, so that's how it is indeed."

Perhaps in Vishnu's eyes, he had already seen Kama and Kavia heading towards the Himalayas.

……

The Himalayas, in the morning, gently embrace the sacred mountain covered with silvery snowflakes.

In Gavia's blue eyes, the blue sky and the white earth are reflected.

The Himalayas are always in winter, but the warm morning light shines on every part of this sacred mountain.

"I have to go now. You wait for me here. I'll come find you after I've settled things with the goddess. Don't wander off."

After Kama entrusted Kavia, who was looking around outside the cave where Shiva was meditating, to his own devices, he mustered his courage and slowly walked into the cave he had agreed to meet Parvati.

But before completely disappearing from Gavia's sight, Cupid turned to look at him and muttered:

"...Will today's ceremony be successful?"

This statement reveals that Kama lacks confidence.

Gavia seemed to sense Kama's feelings and calmly and confidently asserted:

"It will succeed, it will definitely succeed."

Kama frowned at this response.

"But... I haven't had this kind of ceremony for so many years..."

The god of love spoke as if he were blaming himself, or perhaps hesitating, to which Gavia smiled.
