...
"You want him to confess to you?"
A blush suddenly spread across Rin Tohsaka’s face.
Because Goddess Ishtar looked exactly like her.
And Naless—with his love for high jumps, his habit of silently helping others without seeking reward—was so much like that idiot Souma.
Didn’t that an it was equivalent to her confessing to Souma?
She rembered once asking Souma why he kept helping others, and that guy had said—
"Because I’ve been drenched by rain before, so now I want to hold an umbrella for others."
Those words had been etched into her mind, impossible to forget.
Damn it, how could I possibly like an idiot who keeps failing at high jumps but never gives up, who gets ordered around every day but still loves helping others, who’s a guy but sohow cooks better than ...?
And then.
Rin saw Naless’s reply in the video—
"I refuse. Because I hate gods. Unless you beco human."
...Huh?!
She was stunned.
Could it be that Goddess Ishtar was her past self?
That she had shed her divine form to beco human just to win Naless over?
If that were the case... was Souma’s past life Naless?
No, no, that’s overthinking it. What kind of coincidence would that be?
Rin’s cheeks burned as if on fire.
T-This is terrifying.
Only an idiot would believe in sothing like predestined love across lifetis!
In the video.
Faced with Naless’s rejection, Ishtar snorted coldly, "Mortals truly are mortals, only fit to remain forever on the ground!"
"Ishtar, I think I like you..."
Naless suddenly looked at her with an expression of deep affection.
"Huh?"
Ishtar was stunned.
This wasn’t the answer she had expected.
How could soone so arrogant and hostile toward gods suddenly fall for her?
No, no—as the goddess who presided over beauty, no re mortal could resist her charm!
Ishtar’s smile grew even more radiant: "Mortal, co and confess your love to the most beautiful and elegant goddess!"
"I like your sister Ereshkigal! Sorry, but in my eyes, you’re just a monkey. Humans can’t be with monkeys!" Naless said with utmost seriousness.
The mont these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into silence.
The smile on Ishtar’s face gradually faded as she stared at him in disbelief.
She was being compared to a monkey???
Gilgash couldn’t help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Naless, as expected of you, always managing to surprise !"
For soone who had always despised gods—
This was absolutely exhilarating!
Ishtar’s face flushed red at a visible pace, her entire being consud by rage: "You bastard, are you saying that gloomy, death-obsessed woman hiding underground is more charming than ?"
"Yes, exactly! To , you’re no different from a monkey. Should I start calling you the Monkey King?" Naless replied calmly.
Ishtar’s sister, the ruler of the underworld, Ereshkigal, was the most feared and despised existence among both humans and gods.
Because encountering her was equivalent to facing death itself!
No one liked death.
Naturally, no one liked the ruler of the underworld either.
And now, this guy was saying Ereshkigal was more charming than her!
This was utterly unforgivable, shattering her composure instantly!
Ishtar sneered, "That woman stays underground all day. If you have the guts, bring her here to face !"
"You wanted to see ?"
An icy, soul-freezing presence descended without warning.
A girl who looked exactly like her stood in the shadows of the city walls, staring at her expressionlessly.
"Ahaha, what are you doing here?"
Ishtar was dumbfounded, imdiately taking several steps back. This was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!
Though they were sister goddesses.
Let’s not forget—she had once been killed by her sister.
Thankfully, Anu, the king of gods, had personally revived her!
Trembling with fear, she faced the ruler of the underworld, whose entire being radiated an aura of death. Yet, the latter didn’t even glance at her.
Instead, Ereshkigal turned to the handso man beside her: "Naless, aren’t you afraid of ?"
Her deliberately cold voice trembled slightly.
Everyone feared her, too terrified to even look at her.
But now, soone had called her adorable, saying they liked her more than her sister Ishtar!
She was terrified that he might just be joking, that this sole glimr of light might vanish forever.
Now, she stood in the shadows of the city walls, as if trapped in the darkness of hell.
While he basked in the radiant sunlight, his smile warm and divine.
Like heaven and hell standing side by side!
"Of course not. How could anyone not like a goddess as gentle, virtuous, considerate, shy, tsundere, and... well, you?" Naless smiled tenderly.
This treatnt made Ishtar beside them burn with jealousy.
Damn it!
"Damn human, why are you treating the sister goddesses differently? How can you be so blatantly biased?"
"I-I’m the Queen of the Underworld! How could I possibly be shy or tsundere!"
A faint blush appeared on Ereshkigal’s face.
Why would this mysterious human evaluate the Goddess of Death in such a way?
Gentle? Virtuous? Considerate?
Weren’t these supposed to be the terrifying, cold, murderous synonyms of death that everyone knew?
"You’re truly adorable!"
Naless’s smile grew even warr.
He stepped from the sunlight into the shadows, as if descending from heaven into hell.
"Stay away from !"
Ereshkigal reached out as if to touch him, yet her gesture was full of anxious protest.
Though she longed for praise and closeness from others,
She was the Queen of the Underworld - any mortal who dared approach would surely perish!
When Naless stepped into the shadows and walked toward her,
The notoriously terrifying and cruel Queen of the Underworld instantly vanished without a trace.
She actually ran away!?
"So adorable!"
Naless’s smile brightened further, radiating the satisfaction of a successful prank.
"Bastard, you’re dead! The gods have dispatched divine weapons to utterly destroy you and the King of Heroes!"
The Venus Goddess was absolutely livid.
I was here first! Whether it was making him confess or falling for him, why did things turn out like this?
Having said this, she no longer wished to stay.
Stay and wait for further humiliation?
Damn it, with all this talk of sisterly affection, I even thought about helping her out.
But now it seems she doesn’t need my help at all!
This unrestrained goddess vanished without a trace just as boldly as she acted.
Countless onlookers in the bullet comnts exploded with laughter—
-[Hahaha, Naless, you never disappoint!]
-[Damn, that’s legendary! How are you so smooth?!]
-[Ugh, the sisters look identical—does he want to have them both?!]
-[Master! Naless, from now on, you’re my master! Teach how to flirt!]
-[Step one: Be as handso as Naless. Step two: Be as strong as Naless.]
-[Never mind, I’m out!]
...
"That bastard, why does he keep flirting with other won?"
Mordred couldn’t help but blurt it out.
He already had her and Father—how dare he toy with another goddess?!
Just then, she noticed Gawain beside her, winking at her repeatedly.
"Potato spirit, is your face cramping?"
Mordred asked, puzzled.
She casually stretched, only to freeze when a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight.
King Arthur was standing right behind her, watching the video alongside her—without her even noticing!
Damn it, Father! How did you appear as silently as the Underworld goddess in the video?!
Artoria’s saintly blue eyes remained calm as she spoke softly, "I plan to visit Japan for a state visit."
