David exited his manor with Tomoe and Mio on his left and right sides respectively.
After a hearty breakfast with his two beautiful wives, David was in a fantastic mood.
⟪ The dungeons are way too amazing. Endless minotaur meat is like a buffet of wagyu steak! Not to mention, the meat still holds mana within it, allowing for simple energy recovery after eating. I can't wait to let Marin eat it heheh. ⟫
With a single thought, David expanded both his Sakai and Reiatsu to cover the town as he searched for Toa's unique presence.
⟪ Hmm, Toa's moving rather frantically in her house. Is she okay? ⟫
[Toa] 'Is he already coming to look for me?! Crap, I'm still nervous! Ugh, it's okay... You've got this, Toa! Just act natural and treat it like a normal outing...'
David, unaware of Toa's inner turmoil, left his estate and started making his way to Toa's location.
However, before he could get even 20 meters away from his gate, a white and green bullet shot at him, knocking him down on the ground.
"Papa!"
⟪ ...Eh? ⟫
[Tomoe & Mio] 'Eh?!'
David was confused hearing himself being called Papa.
The one who spoke was Komoe, whom David hadn't seen in a while.
While Komoe did jokingly call David 'Papa' in the past, that was all it was: a joke.
Now, however, Komoe was being serious when she said it. Not only that, but she seemed to have had a change in personality as well.
David pushed himself up on his arms and looked down at Komoe who was sitting on his lap and looking up at him with innocent puppy-dog eyes.
Curious, David activated his Heaven's Eye and probed Komoe's existence, examining her soul.
⟪ No way... ⟫
Komoe, who previously only had a faint soul, now had a vibrant soul that held traces of both David and Tomoe.
⟪ Her soul is completely different now. She's literally the soul child of Tomoe and I... What the hell, man...? I wonder if her change in personality has something to do with her new soul? ⟫
David was right on the mark. Komoe's soul had grown and evolved, changing both her existence as well as her personality. If before she was a mini version of Tomoe with slightly altered behaviorisms, now, she is like any other small child, though Komoe has a stupid amount of strength.
If Komoe wanted to, she could single-handedly clear the minotaur dungeon using nothing but her punches and kicks.
"Ahem, it's good to see you, Komoe. I haven't seen you in the past week, but that means you haven't seen me in seven months. How have you been?" David asked as he stood up.
Komoe grabbed David and hugged his front like a baby koala, not wanting to let go.
"I was good! I grew a lot and got super strong! Mama showed me memories of karate so I learned that, too!"
Komoe shimmied around to David's back before crawling up and sitting on his shoulders.
⟪ ...This is slightly weird... I suddenly have a daughter? Whatever, I would've treated her like a daughter anyway so I'll just spoil her even more! ⟫
『 Mio (Hungry Masochist): That child doesn't count! I will only recognize children birthed naturally! 』
『 Tomoe (Feudal Fangirl): Mah mahhh, quit complaining. Komoe is my and the young master's love child. You have no right to speak, concubine. 』
『 Mio (Hungry Masochist): Do you want to fight?! 』
Before things could get too heated between Tomoe and Mio in the Empress Chat, David's inner voice dispelled all displeasure.
⟪ Mio looks like she's about ready to explode. She should know I won't pick favorites, right? I'll have a child with her eventually so she doesn't need to feel jealous. Hell, I'll probably have a biological child with Tomoe as well in the future if she wants one. Komoe is just a special existence, nobody needs to be jealous... Seriously, I don't think I'll ever understand women... ⟫
『 Mio (Hungry Masochist): Hmph, consider yourself lucky that our husband doesn't pick favorites... 』
Tomoe didn't say anything in response, but just smiled, completely happy with how David's attitude toward them is.
"Komoe-chan, we're going out of the Cradle today to take care of some business. Can you stay here and watch over the place to make sure no trouble occurs?"
As David asked Komoe, he reached up and patted her head, both to comfort her as well as place a protective spell on her.
"I sure can! But you hafta take me out to explore the outside world in the future!"
David chuckled as he held Komoe's legs against his chest, ensuring she doesn't fall off his shoulders.
"Sure, I'll even let you beat up a bad person if you want."
Komoe's eyes had stars in them. "Yes, please! I'll punch! And then kick! And then punch again! Hiyahhh!"
Komoe punched and kicked the air while maintaining her balance on David's shoulders.
⟪ It's official, my daughter is so cute! I should totally let her enroll in school once we go back to Primary Earth. Since she's a child now, having friends her own age would be great. Plus, she'd be able experience life as a child in Japan. Even as an orphan, I didn't hate my childhood in this life. In fact, I rather enjoyed it, though there were a couple of girls that stalked me in the orphanage. It wasn't a bad feeling now that I think about it... Hmmm, who were they? They kept stalking me up until I left the orphanage... Why did I never notice before? ⟫
Before David could get further lost in his thoughts and figure out who those two girls were, he was interrupted by Komoe pulling his hair.
"Papa, did you hear me?!"
David snapped out of it and patted Komoe's leg. "Sorry, Komoe-chan, I was thinking about something. What did you say?"
Komoe made an exaggerated sighing sound and returned David's pat, though on his head instead of his leg.
"It's okay, but listen next time, okay? I said that I finally cleared a Challenge Zone in the Tower! I got a really cool reward that makes me super strong and I won't lose my hair!"
David slowed his walking and tilted his head. "Uh, that's good, I guess? Why would you specifically mention not losing your hair?"
"I dunno, that's just what the screen says when I look at the class!"
⟪ Screen? Class? ⟫
David looked at Tomoe and Mio, seeing the same confused expressions on their faces.
"Komoe-chan, what does the screen look like?"
Once again, Komoe sighed in exasperation. "Haaa, you should know! It's the pink screen with my information!"
Now, David completely stopped walking.
'Explain yourself, now.'
[Everyone who becomes an official resident of the Cradle and goes through the Dimensional Gate Tower's Challenge Zones can access a barebones version of the system. They can see their information, but can't do anything else.]
'What the hell? And you didn't think it was a good idea to tell me that sooner?'
[...Not really? How does it affect you, knowing that other people can see their own information?]
'That... I suppose it doesn't really affect me at all... Sorry, it seems I still have a bit of a control issue when it comes to certain things.'
[No shit. Do you want me to explain every little hidden piece of information that doesn't affect you in the slightest, but makes life easier for those around you?]
'...No...'
[Being controlling isn't very attractive, just something to take note of.]
'I know, I have experience. Thanks for pointing it out, Chaos-chan. I'll work on it in the future.'
[Hmph, you better. I don't want to see you become a toxic person and scare away the beautiful ladies!]
David stifled his laughter and patted Komoe on the leg once more before resuming his walk.
"Sorry, I know what you're talking about now. Can you tell me what the name of your class is?"
Komoe put her hands on her hips and lifted her nose to the sky with a smug smile.
"Fufun~! My class is called 'Hero - Saitama'!"
⟪ ...Fuck. How the hell was I not blasted to pieces when she flew into me? ⟫
"You need to remember to be extremely careful with your strength, okay? You can easily hurt someone with how strong you are," David said, both worried and impressed that his daughter gained the powers of the official One Punch Man.
"It's okay, Papa! I already learned how to control my strength in the dungeons! If I used my real strength when I tackled you, you would totally be dead!"
"...You shouldn't sound cheerful when talking about my hypothetical death, you know?"
Komoe just gently patted David's head. "It's okay, it's okay~! My Papa is the strongest in the world, you wouldn't actually die, right?"
⟪ No, I totally would've died... I don't know how she got that as a reward, but the tower definitely needs to be altered. If anyone else got that reward, I'd be afraid of what might happen. ⟫
[You don't need to worry about that. You and your women are the only ones that are supposed to be able to get big rewards from the Tower, though it's only a first-time reward. Komoe, technically being your child, also got a big first-time reward. Though, I will admit... It is a bit too much...]
'No shit.'
[Touché...]
After some more light conversation filled with Komoe's joyous laugher, they arrived at a decently-sized house on Sanctum Lane, marked with "#4" on the front.
It had a low stone wall, a neatly trimmed grassy front yard, a short iron gate, and a stone path leading up to a two-story house that looked identical to some nice houses in the suburbs of Tokyo.
"Wow, these houses look amazing up-close. I take it the designs came from you, Tomoe?"
"Umu, they did indeed! I wanted different styles on different streets. This street is like a modern Tokyo, while another street has houses that are just like those in the Edo period!"
"Hmm... Well, I suppose it doesn't matter. That might fit the Cradle really well, honestly. It's already a melting pot of various races and cultures, compared to that what are some simple design variations?"
David patted Tomoe on the head and said, "Good job. I like your creative thinking."
Tomoe smiled and slightly rubbed her head against his hand, enjoying the warmth.
Mio wanted to say something, but couldn't come up with anything so she just puffed up her cheeks and pouted.
David patted her on the head as well, saying, "Being jealous only makes you cuter, you know."
Mio blushed, but smiled nonetheless, enjoying the headpats.
"Papa, what are we doing here?"
David pulled his hands back and remembered where he was.
"We're here to pick up Toa. We're going to Tsige today to cure some girls and then we're going to the Tinarak Forest to look for some pretty flowers to grow here."
"Ohhh! I love pretty flowers! Can I eat them?!"
"...I wouldn't advise it. They're used for medicine. You can just stick with eating your share of persimmons, okay?"
Komoe nodded, "Right! Persimmons are justice!"
⟪ I feel like Tomoe might be teaching our daughter weird things... ⟫
Tomoe smirked after hearing David refer to Komoe as their daughter, but refrained from saying anything in the Empress Chat as that may actually piss Mio off really badly.
David smiled and shook his head before pushing open the gate and arriving at the front door, giving it a few light knocks.
knock knock knock
Immediately after...
thump thump thump thump
Rapid footsteps were heard approaching the front door.
"Coming!"
⟪ That certainly doesn't sound like Toa. ⟫
And he was right. When the door was opened, a 10-year-old orange-haired girl with a side ponytail was standing there with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Onii-chan!"
David smiled, crouched down, and ruffled the little girl's hair.
"Good morning, Rinon-chan. Is your big sister here?"
Rinon nodded and stepped out of the way. "Yup! She's upstairs getting ready. Want to come inside while you wait?"
"I'd be happy to," David said, pulling Komoe off his shoulders before stepping inside the house.
Looking around the place, David was surprised to see that it actually looked like a modern home. If he didn't know any better, he'd think that he was in Japan right now.
Rinon led them into the living room where David and his wives sat on a couch with Komoe sitting on David's lap.
Rinon then ran to the kitchen to pour water for everyone, excited about being able to play host for her sister's savior.
When she came back, she handed everyone a glass of water and sat on another couch across from them.
"So where are you taking Onee-chan? She came home today with a big smile on her face and seemed really excited," Rinon said in a teasing manner.
"Haha, we're going to Tsige to cure some people and then we'll be looking for some flowers in the forest to bring back here for planting."
Rinon looked shocked.
"Tsige? Tomoe-san said that you were only going to be gone for a week while we stayed for months. Did you actually spend more time outside than we were told?"
"No? It only took me a week to get to Tsige from Zetsuya. Why?"
"Onii-chan, it would take at least half a month by wagon, but we were told you were walking. How'd you get there so fast?"
David chuckled and waved his hand, "Haha, I see what you're confused about. I technically walked, but sometimes I would teleport while walking to save time. Walking a few kilometers each step saves a lot of time, right?"
"Oh... Yeah, that makes sense... You teleported each step... Right..."
Rinon was starting to feel a little dizzy thinking about how David did what he did, but she was brought out of her thoughts by Toa's arrival.
"David!" She said, appearing downstairs wearing tight-fitting clothes that showed off and accentuated her D-cup cleavage. She had also applied light makeup, making her look even cuter.
⟪ Damn, she's cute. ⟫
Toa blushed and turned toward Rinon, patting her on the head.
"Thanks for taking care of them while I was getting ready, Rinon."
Rinon playfully swatted her sister's hand away.
"What do you mean 'taking care of them'? I didn't even get to bring out any snacks! They literally just sat down!" She complained.
David stood up, chugged the water in his hand, and set the glass on the table in between his and Rinon's couches.
"The water was great, Rinon-chan. I'll have to come by again another time to eat some snacks if that's alright with you."
Rinon smiled brightly and nodded her head. "Of course! You're welcome any time, Onii-chan!"
"Mm, good to hear. Toa, shall we head out? We're ready to go whenever you are."
"Yep, I'm ready! I already told my party members that I'd be out today so they can go do their own things while I'm gone."
"Great! Then let's be on our way!"
As soon as David finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and him, Toa, Tomoe, and Mio were all teleported out of the Cradle, arriving nearly a kilometer away from a giant stone wall with a big iron gate.
Once they were in the goddess' world, David released a massive wave of mana, something that was felt for hundreds of kilometers away.
However, the three women with David didn't feel a thing as he set up a barrier blocking their perception as soon as he released his mana.
With that done, David stretched his body, turned to the stone wall, and they all started walking.
"Alright, so just like with Zetsuya, we likely won't be staying here for very long. The first place we need to go to is the Rembrandt Company. I'll tell the owner, Patrick Rembrandt, that I know his daughters and wife's condition and that I can heal them easily. After some convincing and healing, we can be on our way to the Tinarak Forest where the ambrosia flowers will be growing. After collecting some and sending them back to the Cradle, we'll either help some Forest Ogres with a future issue or we'll just go straight to the Gritonia Empire and mess with the goddess' toy."
Toa looked a little scared at David's last sentence.
"The goddess? You plan to mess with her?"
David pounded his chest and spoke arrogantly, "Of course! I plan to have a very nice and long chat with the goddess. We'll see if she can do anything when I kill her beloved hero, haha!"
Toa looked increasingly nervous while Tomoe and Mio shared a sly smile.
『 Tomoe (Feudal Fangirl): Looks like we're not going to be going to Tsige for a little while. Do you want to tell Toa or shall I? 』
『 Mio (Hungry Masochist): Neither. Let her be scared for a bit, she wants to seduce our husband right in front of us so she can deal with a little panic. 』
What Toa didn't notice that Tomoe and Mio did, was David's voice which had a spell laced within it.
Although they didn't know what he was planning completely, they had a general idea based on his actions.
"That shitty goddess summoned a guy named Tomoki Iwahashi from my world to be a hero, but she only likes him for his good looks. Pfft, what a narcissistic bitch! I'll see how she cries when her new toy is destroyed, hahaha!"
David kept an arrogant look on his face while trying to hide his embarrassed blush.
⟪ Did my spell not work? I feel like an idiot, talking like some generic third-rate villain. Hurry up and kidnap me, you petty bitch! ⟫
No later than David thought that did a golden light shine down and envelop him completely.
"David!!!" Toa shouted.
David just smirked and winked at the three women right before being teleported.
...
In a grand room filled with bright white decorations, a blonde woman wearing a cheesy-looking fortune teller outfit sat upon a regal-looking couch, looking at a big bowl of water that showed David's image.
"Now that's a cute one~!" She said.
She had been watching her two new toys that she summoned, but then she suddenly felt a massive amount of mana being released down in her world.
Curious, she focused the bowl of water on the source of the mana and found David.
His incredibly attractive appearance instantly grabbed her attention.
She was going to happily watch him for a while and see who he was, but then she suddenly heard his voice, something that shouldn't be possible from her location.
"Of course! I plan to have a very nice and long chat with the goddess. We'll see if she can do anything when I kill her beloved hero, haha!"
The goddess clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.
"Haaa?! Who does this brat think he is?! Just because you're good looking doesn't mean you can defy me!"
"That shitty goddess summoned a guy named Tomoki Iwahashi from my world to be a hero, but she only likes him for his good looks. Pfft, what a narcissistic bitch! I'll see how she cries when her new toy is destroyed, hahaha!"
"AHHH!!! LET'S SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!"
The goddess screamed in frustration, throwing a short tantrum before using her divine power to forcibly summon David in front of her.
Which brings us to now, with David standing in front of the fuming goddess with his hands in his pockets.
"Sup, shitty goddess? Gotta say, I wasn't planning on seeing you so soon, but I figured it'd be better to get things outta the way now."
The goddess sat back down on her couch and crossed her legs, calming down ever-so-slightly as she came into contact with David.
"I don't know who you are or why you have a grudge against me, but there's no need for that. Someone as handsome as you should be worshipping and following me, not going against me. What's your name, young man? And how did you cross over to my world when I did not summon you?"
David slowly started walking closer, staring into the goddess' eyes and giving a devilishly charming smile.
"My name is David Star. As for how I crossed over, isn't it just as simple as taking a step through a door? If you're too stupid to even understand that, how the hell did you even become a goddess?"
The goddess was stunned for a moment before getting angry again, standing up aggressively with a vein bulging on her forehead.
"You insolent brat! I was offering you an olive branch as a courtesy, but you continue to insult me! I'm still the goddess!"
Continuing to walk closer, David's smile widened and he spread out his arms.
"And so what if you're the goddess? If any other goddess had a personality as shitty as yours, they'd be stabbed in the back in an instant. You're only here because this world needs your existence, unfortunately. That's why I planned on fixing your attitude a bit. No more narcissism, no more bigotry, no more favoring your little hyumans, none of it."
The goddess, seeing that David was completely unafraid, felt that something was wrong with the situation.
She quickly released her mana and was about to cast a spell, but David countered with his Reiatsu, instantly forcing the goddess to kneel and halt her attempts at spellcasting.
"You! Hateful bastard! Release me this instant!"
When David was right in front of the goddess, he crouched down low and took a seat on the floor, propping his chin on his hand.
"It's weird, don't you usually have a little fairy servant with you? Where is she?"
The goddess didn't respond to David's question and just continued to struggle, screaming as she tried to push herself up from the ground.
"Yeah, I figured you'd be like this... You're not very fun... Ah, whatever. Let's get the show on the road, shall we?"
"Release me this instant!!!"
David ignored the goddess' screaming and snapped his fingers, opening up a Mist Gate right behind him.
This Mist Gate was a bit different from his usual transportation ones. This one acts as a camera and projector combo. One end gets recorded while the other end gets glorious audio and video.
The image in the Mist Gate showed David sitting in front of the screaming goddess, looking rather playful.
"Ahem! Testing, mic check, one two!"
Everyone in the Cradle that was awake had stopped what they were doing and took a look at the Mist Gate in the sky, watching the image provided.
"Residents of the Cradle, this is the goddess who looks down on all of you! Now, while I had many plans in the past, this is the one that I've decided on!"
Makoto, who was preparing to go hunting with the orc named Hayato, felt a surge of joy when he saw the position the goddess was in.
[Makoto] 'Hahaha! David really did it! Teach that shitty goddess a lesson!'
David turned back to the goddess and poked her head.
"Don't you... touch... me?"
David just chuckled, "Haha, it's already taking effect, huh?"
"Now then, my lovely residents! Here is what has happened to this absolute waste of space. First, as soon as she made eye contact with me and started talking with me, a special spell was activated, planting a seed of misery inside her mind."
The goddess trembled as she heard that, unsure of what exactly David was talking about since she couldn't feel anything at all.
"This goddess likes to toy with the lives of everyone living in her world for entertainment, you know? She is incredibly arrogant, haughty, narcissistic, hateful, petty, and worst of all... She's really not that beautiful..."
[Cradle residents] 'THAT'S the worst one?!'
When the goddess heard David say she wasn't beautiful, instead of getting angry, she felt her heart being squeezed.
[Goddess] 'Huh?'
"It's not just her looks that aren't great, her personality is also hideous. I honestly don't think she could ever find love. Well, I'm sure she could fall in love with someone, but I know for a fact that nobody could fall in love with her. Not anybody good at least."
The goddess felt her chest tighten and tears threatened to fall from her eyes.
"Don't say that! You can't say that, David!"
"Hahaha, is there something wrong with my words? You're an ugly person, shitty goddess. I, nor anybody else, will ever love you."
This time, the tears fell from her eyes and she stopped trying to get up from the floor, choosing instead to fall down and hit the ground.
"No! No, no no! You don't mean that! I know you love me, David!"
Before the residents watching this could get any more confused, David walked over and pushed the goddess forward until she was on all fours, then he took a seat on her back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't get any weird ideas. This is the first time I've met the goddess and the first time she has even seen me. I thought about what might be a good punishment for her and decided on something rather genius..."
The residents were waiting in anticipation for David to finish his words.
"Loneliness is a painful thing, right? But what's even more painful than normal loneliness is the loneliness brought on by losing someone you care deeply about and knowing it's your fault. So, with a little bit of magic, I made the goddess think she and I were madly in love, but her shitty personality caused a rift between us."
Makoto's eyes widened and he wasn't sure if he should be scared or impressed.
"No matter what I say, even if I tell her to her face that she has been brainwashed, she won't believe me and will still think that I'm her everything. Now, if I tell her that the way she runs her world is despicable and the racism and wars make me sick, what do you all think she'll do?"
The residents started to understand and while they thought the method was a little weird, it sounded like it could work.
"Now, shitty goddess, how are you feeling?"
The goddess, currently being used as a chair, said loudly, "I hate myself! I promise I'll change! Just please don't leave me again! We built this world together, don't you cherish those memories?!"
David stifled his laughter.
"You had nothing to do with this world's creation and we just met today, what the hell are you talking about?"
The goddess slammed her fists against the ground again.
"No! You're lying! Stop trying to make me feel even worse, okay?! Look, you can use me as a chair as much as you want, as long as you promise not to leave me again!"
David looked at the Mist Gate with a smirk.
"See? I figured this would be the best way to get revenge on her for everyone in the world. She'll change her ways and her personality will do a complete 180 while she suffers eternal loneliness. While the changes might be slow, they'll be effective. She'll also have to teach everyone down below to treat all other races equally. Isn't that right, shitty goddess?"
The goddess nodded her head fervently.
"Yes, yes! I'll teach them to behave and treat the other races equally! Even if they're ugly like those demi-humans, I'll teach--AHH!"
The goddess was interrupted by a painful sensation as David smacked down hard on her back with his open palm.
"Sorry, everyone. It seems the changes will take a bit to complete... Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know the situation so that you won't have to fear the goddess anymore in the future! I'll also take care of the heroes she summoned, okay? Alright, have a wonderful day!"
David waved his hand and closed the Mist Gate.
A few moments later, he was standing in front of the goddess, looking down at her with disdain.
"So, what's your plan now, shitty goddess?"
The goddess sat seiza while wiping her tears.
"I will tell all of my followers that everyone is equal and I will stop instigating wars!"
David nodded, "Mhm, and then?"
"And then... We'll get married...?"
"...Not in a million years. I was thinking more along the lines of you becoming a genuinely good person, stop caring about looks, and maybe apologize to everyone you ever harmed, but if you can't even think about something as simple as that, then forget it."
David stood up and walked to the side of the room they were in.
"I'm creating a door here that leads to my home. However, nobody can enter it except for me unless I give them permission. You'll never be able to open it and other gods will never be able to open it. It'll just be here, taunting you, making you wonder when I'll come waltzing in. It sounds fun, doesn't it?"
The goddess cried again and threw her forehead to the ground.
"Can't I just come see you at least once?!"
⟪ Damn, that spell is way too effective... Holy fuck... ⟫
"No," David stated simply.
Connecting his consciousness to the Dimensional Gate Tower inside of the Cradle, David activated the linking function and touched the wall in front of him.
A large door identical to the doors in the Dimensional Gate Tower appeared, embedding itself into the wall and creating a permanent barrier that stops absolutely every bit of outside interference.
Like David said, the gods won't be able to open it. They won't be able to break it. They won't be able to even touch it!
⟪ These Dimensional Doors are simply busted... ⟫
Without saying another word to the goddess, David pulled back his Reiatsu and walked through the door, arriving on the fourth floor of the Dimensional Gate Tower.
He quickly set the permissions to deny everyone access except for him. He would've granted Tomoe and Mio access, but he didn't want them to end up killing the goddess.
While David is genuinely disgusted with the goddess, it's better to just fix her personality than to kill her as that would have unknown and lasting effects on the world.
Once the permissions were set, David quickly teleported himself back outside with Tomoe, Mio, and Toa.
Toa, upon seeing David return, looked at him weirdly.
"Ah, did you see the broadcast with the goddess?" David asked.
Toa nodded, but didn't speak.
"Haaa... Do you think I'd use that spell on other people? Come on, I know you don't know me personally that well, but I'm not that kind of guy, okay? That's strictly a punishment spell, nothing more and nothing less."
Toa didn't look away and struggled to squeeze out her words.
"Mm... I wasn't worried about that, I just wanted to know... Do you plan on taking the goddess as one of your wives?"
David's face scrunched up in disgust, preferring Toa to have thought he'd use his spell improperly over such a nasty suggestion.
"Definitely not. She has been a disgusting bug for long enough, it's time for her to change and suffer a bit. You can easily heal physical wounds, but mental and emotional wounds will leave a mark. That spell causes severe emotional damage and it'll eventually turn into a trauma. She deserves it and I'll not change my mind."
Toa didn't say anything else, but looked relieved.
With that out of the way, they all started heading to Tsige... Finally...
⟪ Seriously, was she only worried about whether I'd take the goddess as a wife? I wasn't joking when I said she wasn't beautiful. The goddess can't even be called pretty. Toa, Tomoe, and Mio are much more beautiful than that shitty goddess. ⟫
The girls all blushed, happy to be considered more beautiful than a goddess.
⟪ Alright, let's go meet Patrick! ⟫
---
(A/N: Was it too quick bringing Komoe back as his actual daughter? Maybe, but it was going to happen eventually and her soul just so happened to form over the seven month timeskip.
Was it too much, giving Komoe the literal powers of Saitama from One Punch Man? Nope! Komoe is more like the first of Tomoe's offshoots in that she enjoys punching and kicking. The first offshoot's death traumatized me, okay? I'd make Komoe immortal immediately if I could just so she wouldn't die.
Was it too quick brainwashing the goddess and making her a heartbroken simp? Nope. She's had it coming since the first volume of the light novel was published. Her punishment has only just begun, you're welcome.
The upcoming chapters with the Rembrandt sisters and the Forest Ogres may be a little off from canon. I don't remember the event perfectly and the Wi-Fi in the hotel is garbage so I can't watch the episodes or read the manga to double-check. That's one of the main reasons David and co. haven't arrived in Tsige yet.
I'll do my best to at least get Eris and Aqua's personalities right. Especially Eris, she's my favorite banana-loving gremlin. I'm still debating on whether or not I'll give Shiki to Makoto or not as I have plans to have a special Ogre/Oni secretary for David in the future and Shiki's job is basically a secretary... So yeah, I'll think about it.
I'm trying to write faster, but the sleep demon always gets me and knocks me out for hours... I think once we leave this hotel, I'll have less anxiety and won't be as tired, thus allowing me to have a better upload schedule. The Tsukimichi Dimensional Quest will end in less than ten chapters, though I'm not sure exactly how many. Could be four, could be seven, who knows... I miss Marin and have some plans for the Bleach peeps, plus the school is going to be rather interesting...
Anyway, that's enough blabbering from me. As always, thanks for reading this shlop.)
