Chapter 161: The Jealous Goddess!
"Mm…"
The next day, it was already late in the morning, and the sun was practically shining on his backside by the time Ethan slowly woke up.
After waking, he felt the soft, delicate body in his arms.
Then he saw Haruhime's sleeping face, and a smile immediately appeared on Ethan's face.
As the saying went, "A gentle home is a hero's grave."
For men, that kind of temptation was simply too great.
Especially since last night, after being separated for more than twenty days, nearly a month, the two of them had finally reunited.
Under those circumstances, the two of them had continued their "night activities" until dawn.
"Mm…"
Because of Ethan's movements, Haruhime was also awakened from her sleep.
The moment she opened her eyes, Ethan entered her vision, making happiness rise from the bottom of her heart.
Her fate had been filled with hardship.
At her most desperate moment, she had met Ethan.
He had saved her life, which had already become dim and hopeless.
He had brought new color to her world.
Because of that, her life existed for the man before her.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, Ethan-sama."
Nestled in Ethan's arms, Haruhime was deeply attached to this moment.
She was reluctant to leave.
That was because Haruhime knew that Ethan was outstanding and powerful.
There would never be a lack of women around him.
Hadn't even the high and mighty goddesses fallen for Ethan now, just like her?
(P.S. This is what Haruhime believes. At present, Freya does not have much love for Ethan. It can only be considered possessiveness and fondness toward Ethan, not pure romantic love.)
Knock, knock, knock—
Just as the two of them were still nestled beneath the blanket and unwilling to get up, a rapid knocking sound rang out.
"Who is it this early in the morning?"
Ethan's mood immediately became very bad.
After all, he was holding a girl in his arms and enjoying the moment.
Someone suddenly coming over to knock on the door was basically deliberately disturbing him.
"Ethan-sama, please hurry and take a look. What if it's Ottar-sama or Freya-sama looking for you?"
This was Tower of Babel, after all.
And it was Freya's territory.
There were only a handful of people who could come here.
After hearing Haruhime's words, Ethan nodded.
Then, under Haruhime's care, he changed into a clean set of clothes.
Click—
He came to the door and opened it.
Immediately after, a figure directly rushed inside.
"Wah! Traveler, you bastard! You came back and didn't even look for me. Instead, you were messing around at home with a beautiful woman!"
"Paimon?"
The person who came was none other than Paimon.
Only, at this moment, Paimon was grabbing Ethan by the collar with a face full of anger.
And by pure coincidence, Haruhime also came out from inside the room.
On Haruhime's face, one could still see the lingering glow after being fully "nourished."
Her charm as a woman had already been perfectly displayed.
"Wah! It's her, isn't it? Traveler, you heartless bastard! You abandoned me for this woman!"
Hearing Paimon's words, Haruhime subconsciously panicked a little.
She looked like a mistress who had been caught red-handed by the legal wife.
However, Haruhime quickly reacted.
What was this supposed to be?
It seemed like she had come earlier than Paimon.
And with Paimon's appearance, even if Ethan really wanted to do something, she could not.
(P.S. Jailtime warning, you're on the FBI watchlist!)
Bonk—
Looking at Paimon, Ethan immediately had black lines all over his face.
Then he knocked Paimon on the head.
In an instant, Paimon, who had just been teary-eyed, covered her little head and ran away.
"Tell me. Who told you to come here and spout nonsense?"
"Uh, it was Syr-onee-san who taught me. She said that as long as I said this, Traveler would definitely feel guilty, then compensate me and satisfy all my requests."
Without the slightest hesitation, Paimon directly sold Syr out.
Ethan immediately felt his teeth ache.
Others might not know, but how could Ethan not know?
Wasn't Syr just his goddess's disguise?
In other words, this was Freya's idea.
She had instigated Paimon to come here and mess around.
Could she be angry?
One had to know that women were the easiest to make jealous.
Even goddesses were the same.
He had only just returned, yet he had plunged straight into the Dungeon.
After coming back, he had even "fought" with Haruhime until dawn.
Could his goddess have waited for him in her "boudoir" for the entire night yesterday?
This really could not be blamed on Ethan for thinking that.
With the Skill [True Riding], that night with Freya had absolutely been the most enjoyable one for him.
Presumably, Freya had felt about the same.
Most importantly, he was basically someone being kept by Freya.
After returning, instead of first going to "serve" the goddess, he had favored another woman.
It was not impossible for the goddess to be angry.
"Cough, cough. What else did Syr say?"
"Nothing much. She just said that 'scumbag men' never have good endings or something."
"Uh…"
Ethan could confirm it now.
Freya was definitely angry.
She was even jealous.
No.
He had to go coax her.
If that goddess's jealousy really flared up, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause?
"Haruhime, watch Paimon for a bit. I'm going to meet the goddess."
"You're going directly to meet Freya-sama?"
"Mm. There's something I need to handle."
"All right. I understand."
The considerate Haruhime nodded.
Then she brought Ethan's outerwear from the bedroom, looking every bit like a good wife.
Paimon, standing at the side, also looked at Haruhime curiously.
Who was this woman?
She was actually this close to Traveler.
Paimon's little head was filled with questions about Haruhime.
"Right, take care of Paimon for me."
"Paimon?"
"That's right. She's a 'Abrupt-Mutation Cursed Corpse' I happened to create. She's like Charmander and Snow Wolf. But because she mutated, she has her own self-awareness."
"So amazing."
Haruhime's eyes were filled with surprise.
A Cursed Corpse, or puppet, with self-awareness.
Wasn't that the same as granting life to a dead object?
Her Ethan-sama could even create life?
He was truly amazing!
Ethan did not see Haruhime's surprise.
He had already gone out.
First, he needed to check on his goddess's situation.
If the jar of jealousy had truly been overturned, he had to be prepared.
"Mm… Hello. I'm Haruhime, Ethan-sama's maid."
Inside the room, one large and one small person stared at each other.
In the end, Haruhime was the first to speak.
"I'm Paimon, Traveler's partner and guide."
"Traveler is?"
"Traveler is Ethan. But for Paimon, he will always be Traveler."
"Oh, I see."
Haruhime did not really understand.
She simply thought this was something Ethan had arranged.
However, looking at this tiny little one, Haruhime had a very good impression of her.
Even though Paimon had started spouting nonsense the moment she came in.
Gurgle—
"Um, you're Haruhime, right? I'm hungry."
"Pfft."
"Haha. I'll take you to eat, little Paimon."
"Okay! Let's go eat!"
In an instant, because of this small interlude, the relationship between the two of them became much closer.
