Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Yes, he was clearly prepared for his first meeting with him, but at the last moment he still used the appearance of a skeleton to test him, and even forced him insistently.

If this isn’t dishonesty, then what is it?

She messed up, she messed up everything again, she really was a useless and vicious goddess.

Perhaps it is right that a disaster like her should be imprisoned in the underworld forever and never be free.

As Ereshkigal cried helplessly, two warm fingers gently touched her forehead.

"I finally caught the real you, Miss Elle..."

"It really made me suffer a lot."

Accompanied by a rather helpless male voice.

"Eh?!!"

Ereshkigal raised her head in surprise and saw a young man with black hair standing in front of her, still with the smile on his face that she had when they first met.

It's Xia Yuan, he's still alive!!

Facing the devastating blow just now, he actually walked in front of Ereshkigal intact.

"How... How is it possible? Why is he unharmed... How on earth could this be..."

Ereshkigal was immediately thrown into panic when Xia Yuan's outstretched finger gently touched his forehead at such a close distance.

She couldn't understand why Xia Yuan was unharmed after enduring such an attack. And why didn't he attack her? Why did he still smile when he saw her...

"hateful……"

Seeing her true identity exposed, Ereshkigal wanted to ease her loss of composure and was about to pick up the fallen spear and swing it again. The next moment, she suddenly froze...

A warmth like the sun appeared in front of her. Her body stiffened and she stood there in a daze.

Feeling the strange touch on her body, she panicked for a moment, and the golden spear that was ready to fire also lost its luster at this moment.

At this moment, she was being hugged, hugged by someone who understood her. It was also the first time she was hugged since she was born.

This strange feeling was really warm, just like the sun she had never felt before...

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Elle."

Chapter 228 Praise the Sun!!

What does the sun smell like?

Many creatures living under the sun find it difficult to give a definite answer to this question.

After all, the sun is the sun, a ball of fire hanging in the sky, emitting light and heat.

If I had to describe it, the only feeling would probably be burning.

But today Ereshkigal got the answer to this question.

An answer that is unique to her.

The smell of the sun is warm and peaceful, and this special warmth is something that fire cannot give.

There was also a smell that intoxicated her.

Like a hug.

In the dark underworld, Ereshkigal, who had shed her skeleton goddess shell, was enjoying the warmth of the sun. This body, which had lived in darkness for years, began to tremble slightly when it felt the warmth it had never experienced before.

Feeling this scent that was completely different from the breath of the underworld, Ereshkigal couldn’t help but widen her amber eyes, looking at the mortal in front of her who dared to hug her in surprise. Then she realized the situation, and her face immediately blushed, and her tone in her heart became a little panicked...

"Hold... hold me here..."

"Ahhh... He actually hugged me. What should I do? What should I do? I was actually hugged by a mortal."

"So embarrassing, so embarrassing..."

but……

It's really warm.

It was as peaceful and warm as a sea of ​​flowers illuminated by the sun. Was this the sun she was looking for?

She couldn't help but secretly glance at Xia Yuan's profile, and then her face turned even redder.

In this situation, Ai Lei, whose brain was about to crash, didn't know what to do. She could only kneel on the ground obediently, allowing herself to be gently hugged by Xia Yuan, then closed her eyes and began to indulge in this hard-earned warmth.

Until Xia Yuan slowly stood up, handed his palm to Ereshkigal, and asked her with a smile: "Do you need me to pick you up, Lady Ereshkigal?"

“Eh?! Eh?!!”

Ereshkigal's legs were a little weak from kneeling for too long, and she looked flustered. She raised her head in surprise and looked at Xia Yuan who was stretching his hand towards her.

He wanted to hold the hand and stand up, but found that his body was too weak to stand up. He was also shy because of Xia Yuan's hug just now, and he seemed unable to lift his feet.

This is too embarrassing!!

She screamed wildly in her heart.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan just smiled and shook his head, then took Ereshkigal's hand, lifted her up, and finally placed her steadily on the ground.

So light...

"Thank...thank you!!!"

Ereshkigal, who was suddenly picked up, became even more nervous. She quickly supported her body, distanced herself from Xia Yuan, and took several steps back as if running away. Her panic became even more obvious...

"Really? Am I that scary? I've always been the one being taken out on, right?"

Seeing Ai Lei's panic, Xia Yuan felt a little disappointed, and then said half-jokingly, "Actually, Miss Ai Lei's fighting posture just now was really domineering, and it also scared me."

"Ah... I, um... I'm sorry."

Ereshkigal waved her hands hastily and began to speak incoherently.

She was really afraid of Xia Yuan. However, it was not the fear of his power, but the deeper fear of not being able to face others.

He was the only one who understood her and was willing to visit her, but he was treated so badly by her and almost killed.

Although she was angry because she saw Ishtar appear in front of her and speak nonsense, but when Ereshkigal calmed down and saw Xia Yuan, she felt that what she had just done was too much.

He actually killed him.

Then an indescribable feeling of guilt arose from the bottom of my heart: "I really didn't mean to hurt you, I just... I just..."

Ereshkigal stumbled over her actions, but when she saw Xia Yuan's still smiling face, she lowered her head in disappointment and whispered, "I'm sorry... It's all my fault. I was too willful..."

"Haha, it's nothing, Miss Ai Lei. Although you were a little too excited just now, fortunately we are all fine, right?"

"No one will blame you. After all, you just made a scene in your own home. If you vent like this occasionally, you will probably feel better."

Xia Yuan looked at Ereshkigal, who lowered her head and looked apologetic, and did not pursue or blame her too much. He just smiled and said, "As an apology, although I suffered a lot, it was worth it when I thought about how I actually saw the true face of Ereshkigal-sama with my own eyes and received the embrace of the most beautiful goddess."

“And now I can give you a detailed answer to your question, Ereshkigal-sama.”

Xia Yuan stared into Ai Lei's amber eyes and answered seriously: "You are the most beautiful goddess in my eyes, the most beautiful flower blooming in the underworld, and there is only you."

“Eh…?!!”

At such a close distance, she could almost feel Xia Yuan's breathing. When she saw his serious ice-blue eyes, Ereshkigal felt like her brain was on fire.

Suddenly, his whole face seemed to have turned into a piece of red-hot iron, constantly emitting heat. His eyes and words had completely lost their rationality, and he had no idea what to do.

Unlike Ishtar, this was the first time she heard someone say such confession and courtship words to her.

Although she had heard about things between lovers from some dead souls.

But this is progressing too fast! It's just the first time they've met.

If I agree to him now, would it seem that I am too unstable? But if I refuse, won’t Xia Yuan be sad?

Besides, how about her current skeleton appearance...

Oh, and her skeleton shell.

"..."

Touch it on top and then touch it on the bottom.

"No way……"

The feeling she felt in her hands was no longer the ugly skeleton shell, but smooth skin, which meant that her true appearance had been revealed.

In Xia Yuan's vision, this was a beautiful goddess who looked 80% similar to Ishtar, but with long golden hair.

This also made Ereshkigal suddenly realize: "Yes, I have just removed the mimicry of Hades."

Awakened by Xia Yuan's words, Ereshkigal, who had been feeling shy and self-blaming, suddenly realized that her mimicry had been lifted.

The emotions I just expressed were my true feelings.

That is to say...

Ai Lei suddenly sat on the ground in a daze, and then said with a frantic expression: "You saw everything, right? You must have seen everything, right? My embarrassing appearance just now, and..."

"You must have known my true appearance and who I am, right? Because you were not surprised to see me like this."

"Haha, I was discovered."

Xia Yuan smiled and glanced at Ai Lei, who was already extremely shy in front of him, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

Yes, of course he knew Ereshkigal’s true identity.

She had beautiful long golden hair that fell like a waterfall, and she wore a black cloak and a base layer that were completely different from Ishtar's. She had chubby calves, and most importantly, her appearance was exactly the same as Ishtar's.

Because she was summoned together with Ishtar, but she was usually busy with her work in the underworld and had no time to share her body with Ishtar.

"Yes, I knew it when I first saw you."

“Ah? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Wouldn’t it seem that my previous disguise was just as stupid as Ishtar’s?” Ereshkigal immediately covered her blushing face with her hands.

If Xia Yuan had known about this long ago, then wouldn't that mean that the skeleton shell she had previously condensed with the power of Hades was just like a child throwing a tantrum in his eyes...

"That's so stupid... Did you think it was funny when you saw me like that?" she asked quickly.

"Hmm..." Xia Yuan thought for a moment, then replied, "A little bit, but seeing that you are having so much fun, I will continue to play with you."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……!!"

Then, from the underworld came Ereshkigal’s scream of pain, like a groundhog’s quilt.

"This is really..." Xia Yuan covered his ears, then bent down slightly, with a helpless expression. He just wanted to comfort Ai Lei who was about to die, but...

"Such a quarrel, it's your fault that you have been acting stupid since we met."

Ishtar suddenly appeared from behind them without knowing the mood.

"How long are you going to keep flirting here?!"

"Strong Hands Crushing Skulls!!"

Xia Yuan roared, and suddenly a big hand grabbed Ishtar's head from above, and then began to shake it violently.

"You guy, can you please check the atmosphere before coming out? The atmosphere is obviously so good."

“It hurts! Let me go! Who told you to deceive the ignorant girl again? It’s enough that you messed with a goddess like me, and you actually want to attack Ereshkigal? Don’t be too greedy, human!”

“I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, but you dared to choose Ereshkigal? It’s obvious that I’m more beautiful, right?”

Ishtar grabbed Xia Yuan's arm and fought back without showing any weakness.

However, what responded to her was a very beautiful throwing skill that Xia Yuan learned from Quetzalcoatl.

"Wa ...

He grabbed her shoulders and threw the screaming Ishtar away.

"Anyway..."

The nice atmosphere has been ruined by the gorgeousness.

Obviously, he only needed to continue to impress Ereshkigal's heart to get help, but this damn Ishtar always liked to make trouble for him in various ways.

Is it my destiny to be incompatible with her?

Xia Yuan sighed helplessly.

"Flirting?!"

As for Ereshkigal, she was completely lost in her thoughts because of the flirtatious words that Ishtar had just said.
