"Ara ara♪?"
"Don't worry Zera everything will be alright"
"Just soothe yourself in deep slumber..."
,as Ru leaned near Zeran's slumbering face and said. She let him feel her warm delicate touch later on. Her face was masked in mysterious sinistry addd with her kinda evil demonness grin that would give shivers to anyone. Though, in another perspective it was also like the carress of a drop dead diva with a very divine soothing voice added. Soon, Zeran's unconscious body was brought to the medical clinic nearby followed by Ru, Otorine, Shunya and his own mother, Arseia. Thereon, their very sights had observed the clean and non-claustrophobic facility clad in pure white of flawless cleanliness. The floor was tiled in glassy marble that reflects their transparent radiant appearances crystal clear. They were witnessing the ever-moving and caring angelic females clothed in tight and sophisticated nurse uniforms that would soothe any men's urges or boost it instead, as the angelic maidens wings sway along as they waltz around the area. Though, instead of having beds there were doors ensuring private rooms for the poor patients. Zeran was sent to the nearest private room along with the very Goddesses with him. As they entered the room, the spacious area was similiar a suite-room in a hotel. He was placed at the comfortable hospital bed there. Two long beige benches were at the sides that'd you'd see in any confinement room. The dining table with wooden chairs were at the unnoticeable corners. Lastly, there was the sink and fridge you'd see upon in any private room in a hospital. Ru went to the bench that was the nearest to the resting Zeran, while for Otorine and Shunya, they took the other side that was seemingly farther to him. Arseia just leaned on the wall like a boobalicious babe would near her own son. In addition to her concerned yet chilling look to him. The four of them neither bat an eye nor uttered any word due to some tensed up reason upon Zeran, making the air to be very still in deep void that was even beyond that you'd call silence. Soon enough, Shunya fell asleep feeling the silky smooth shoulder of Otorine. Otorine in response, soothed the young-looking Goddess more by letting the palm of her hand touch Shunya's adorable cheeks. Seemingly like, the two had a very close relationship between the little sister and big sister. Shunya let out a glimpse of a smile as her eyes was shut and she was dreaming of something fuzzy and warm as she felt her elder sister's touch. A little while later, a female doctor with 4 arching white wings came to see and check on Zeran. The doctor herself healed him with her magical powers first, emerging out bountiful and vibrant green energy lights to pulse unto Zeran, in which it closed his seeping wounds and restored his critical condition in an instant. Next, she did some mild medical tests on him. Then, soon enough she was convinced in her critical decision. She told the four Goddesses that Zeran just needed plenty of rest and food. Since his condition had stabilized. As Arseia heard that upon, she was quite puzzled in her thoughts, that made her very face to be masked in a problematic look,
("Only a plentiful of food and rest...")
("But why alot of food?")
("That's odd...").
The doctor that had finished with her business had left the private room and gone, leaving Zeran in the sole hands of the four Goddesses in his unconscious wake. Due to Zeran's initiated recovery, the atmosphere was feeling less heavy compared to before. Ru asked Arseia if she can leave for awhile. Arseia nodded and Ru left in an instant. Though, it was only for a short time and Ru came back again at the very room. This time she was eating a chocolate bar that seemed to be purely hand-made by her. Otorine took a glance at Ru and moves her soft-spoken mouth very calmly,
"Dark Goddess Ruhime...right?".
Ru replies back,
"Yes?".
Otorine's question made Ru to feel tense and twitch her fluffy ears in a snap, since dark Goddesses and light Goddesses are two opposing sides of each other. More than that, Otorine leaked out a guardian angel's voice of deep concern in accordance to the situation,
"Please do take care of Noah for us...".
Though, Ruhime's only feedback was a complacent and affirmative nod, in which it was quite far from her usual eccentric daring nature unlike when she's with Zeran. Yet, her ears full of fluffy fur twitched without prior notice even from her own self, not a hint of sinisterness nor vileness of a serpent in whole. Then, she said,
"Okay...".
Soon enough, Otorine awakened the slumbering Shunya in a very non-scandalous way, as an elder sister would. Shunya's eyes began to bloom. Her adorable eyes was rubbed by her fresh and slim hands yet, the vibrance was of such faded light due to her clouded sorrow in the same scarring situation as Otorine. The two of them stood up in elegance and left out a graceful bow filled with immense respect at the cool-looking mother, Arseia.
"Goodbye lady Arseia..."
,they said. Arseia nodded although, it was just in a jiffy. Thereon, Otorine and Shunya left the room in an instance, letting off the remaining Ru and Arseia with the resting Zeran on their delicate hands and exposure. Somehow, the feel on the whiff of air at the very room was less dense since the two left earlier. Ru then exhaled with a deep breathe experiencing a more soothed feathery feeling than ever before. Though, lady Arseia asks a trifling question blatantly at Ruhime a little while later,
"So...Ru...tell me...how do you feel about being with my son?".
Ru's foxy ears twitched again, as she was filled with sudden surprise in her daring appearance, since she just tried to relax her tight feeling from whence the other two Goddesses were there recently. Though, she immediately ridden her face in a relaxing appearance complemented by her lady-like voice leaking out,
"Oh...It feels quite nice...lady Arseia...".
Her abyssal fluffy tail was relentless in graceful harmony such as a vixen of high interest unto something very peculiar. Arseia closed her eyes, turning her to focus on her own mind. From within her mind, she recalls the very sublime thoughts she had seen the instances from the previous incidents of her son,
("So far this is the 4th time he was transferred at this clinic with a Goddess...")
("Hmmmm...First was Shunya...")
("Second was Otorine...")
("Third was with Mai...")
("Hmmmm...now it's Ru...huh...").
As for the kinda concerned Ru, her eyesight noticed that Zeran was shivering in the cold, even with the provided blankets. He was like you'd see someone sleeping in a cave beneath the strong chilly blizzard outside. As her mind and concern blended in weird momentum, she undressed her kinda furry and silky cloak. She blanketed it around Zeran's freezing body in sheer cold. The chills on Zeran's body was gone and he started to feel the soothing warmth upon her very neat cloak. As Arseia opened her eyes, it was filled with utter shock, since her very naked vision saw Ruhime in her almost flesh-revealing outfit. Arseia took an unnoticeable glance at the sitting and very attention-seeking Ru watching the slumbering Zeran, from head to toe. Arseia was like analyzing Ru's very bodacious form in her mind,
("She has sex appeal...")
("Daring looks...")
("Having one of the male's fetishes especially her foxy ears and tail...")
("Amazing body...")
("A true drop dead diva Dark Goddess...")
("But I wonder why she hasn't been courted/went to any relationship yet?")
("Since she's still in the single category of Goddesses and Gods...").
Later, Arseia nodded as if she was convinced in her thoughts over something.
Her look was focussed on the concerned Ru for the unconscious Zeran. After sometime passed, Arseia seemed to be in a hurry in her profused way of talking to Ru,
"By the way I'll be going now..."
"Please do have patience with my son..."
"He's both wise and foolish...like he is still in his teens..."
"Despite his REPEATED reincarnations...".
Ru nodded nonchalantly, that agrees upon the things Arseia said about her beloved son. Though, it was quite unexpected for a dark Goddess to show some prevalent respect maybe because, Arseia wasn't in the Light Goddess nor Dark Goddess category, rather a superior Goddess amongst them of all sorts. Arseia bid farewell and left the room. For quite sometime, Ru was fiddling with her high-end smartphone. Zeran regained his whole consciousness and his very first thing that he had witnessed upon his very eyesight was the interior of the room in a hospital's private room brimmed in bright white light. He closed his eyes again and trudged deep into his sea of thoughts,
("I could tell he was holding back...")
("I wonder how I was able to survive that lethal hit from that overpowered creep...").
He lifted his other vacant arm on top of his forehead, that depicted a very puzzling mannerism. Later on, in his extraordinary vision, he saw interesting words typed in neon cyan, such as you'd see in any sci-fi monitor or video game, in his inner sense to respond upon his statement somehow,
["...LAST HUNGER STAND: LEARNED..."].
As soon as he had experienced that in his sort of inner sense, he was quite utterly irritated in his own self, that it was insane gluttony that saved him from his apparent destruction,
("Great...I survived that last hit because I was hungry?!").
He turned his head to the sitting Ru. His eyes had opened again. He was witnessing Ru in her scantily dressed outfit yet again, busy with her phone, that would please any man's desire for lust. Her almost-naked body made Zeran's eyes to be widely shocked although, it wasn't filled with intimate passion but, insane absurdity instead, opposing any normal man's libido. His very thoughts was poured with immense irritation for the the shameless dark Goddess in his line of vision,
("Ugh...")
("And she's...in her kinda BIKINI PAJAMAS again...).
Though, he was also wearing a relieved smile, since he saw her as a concerned maiden to him. He was feeling the fluttering and soothing petals in his very emotions, as she was with him once again, despite his recent failure. Soon enough, his empty stomach growled in a quite a noticeable way for her to hear, making Zeran to snap out of his trance. She put away her phone and turned her focus unto the starving Zeran. She let him feel her Goddess carress, letting him feel the soothing touch any man would die for. Then, she speaks in an angelic way and a subtle smile to him filled with deep worry,
"Feeling hungry now Zera?".
Zeran's only response was a scratch on his head, since, he saw the very Dark Goddess with insane concern for him. Though, he turned his head away from her and says as if he agrees upon what she had said,
"Yeah...I guess...".
Her response to him was, she reached out from in-between her melon in volume and marshmallow breasts. Sooner or later, she brought out two chocolate bars wrapped in velvet red ribbon and expensive-looking tin foil from the crevice of her firm melons, that would lay eyes of irk to any sane person. Her action even made Zeran to show a glimpse of grave surprise in his eyes. Thereon, she tried to offer it with such generous act to the Zeran down on the bed and said,
"Here...sorry...this was the only thing I was able to make on a rush...".
He didn't mind it even if it was only made in a rush, as he still accepted the chocolate bars with a cool smile and said,
"Nah...it's alright...".
Though, he had clouded insights in his thoughts with a very creeped-out feeling, since his very eyes met that weird way of bringing out those two simple bars of chocolate, from a woman of grand stature such as a Goddess,
("Okay...the greater question is...how'd she make this?!")
("Not only that...ARE THOSE LIKE HER CONVENIENT POCKETS?!).
Somehow, he didn't delve that much deeper unto the absurd action she had done. Since, he ripped off the sparkling foil of the chocolate bar instead, emerging out the rich color of a pure dark chocolate. He ate the chocolate bar with great satisfaction in from the inside and outside. The firm crumbling and melting chocolate inside his mouth was blended in complete harmony of subtle bitterness and sweetness, swelling in deep warm cycle. It doesn't give off the usual fullfilling appetite but boosted his fueled appetite even more. Thus, it made him to complete the two chocolate bars in full. Though, he seemed to have noticed an enticing and aromatic scent upon the eaten chocolates recently. It seemed it wasn't the appropriate aroma for a chocolate. Rather, it was seeped in enticement of a woman's fluid filled with passionate mystery, turning Zeran's face to look disturbed same as in his thoughts,
("It has a peculiar after-taste and scent of sorts...why do I have a feeling that...")
("I tasted something quite different?").
For some reason, Ru tried to break the eased-off feeling by, showing her face with a sorrowful frown added with downed fluffy ears and tail. Then, she said with a melancholic tone, depicting such a sad vixen in anyone's line of sight,
"U-uuum Zera...could you bring out that plush doll out?"
"You're making me feel bad...".
Her plea turned Zeran to hold his chiseled chin, as he was deciding deep in thoughts feeling some kind of regrets. His feelings was swelling and molded into emotional guilt, while he was recalling the plush doll's form in his thoughts too,
("Hmmm...so it's making her feel bad...")
("Well it's a plush doll in her own image...").
Soon enough, he reached out with his hand freely such as casting something in front of him. Thereon, the Ru plush doll in her explicable image in a more adorable form with its buttoned eyes and the absence mouth of sort, emerged in a magical way of fleeting sparkles and mysterious lights, in front of Zeran. Ru held it with her delicate hands. He took an undeniable focussed stare at the plush doll, that Ru didn't mind it, as he wants to be convinced of something in his thoughts,
("Okay...it's not moving...that's a relief...").
As he let out a strong sigh that wooshed the whole place with a sudden blow. Ru's foxy tail flowed with eager sinistry, as of she was expecting something. Zeran looked at her and asks a simple question, as expected,
"Ru..so how'd I do?".
Her finger had touched her very lip, as she tries to tell in a very unsure way or another, added with brief explanation about it,
"Mmmm...I'd give you 7/10..."
"2 for withstanding his crazy attacks and 5 for confronting that jerk for mois(me)♥...".
As soon as he heard her reply, he left out a confident smile upon his satisfied face. Though he was feeling huge embarassment from his very emotions within, since, the outcome was very much one-sided and truly pathetic for his stand. Thankfully, Ruhime was still proud of him even after that incident, as she kinda felt Zeran's head with the palm of her smoothened hand. She rubbed his hair such as a certain pet he was, brushing off his hair in gentle breeze. Moreover, her smiling face was filled with deep calming waters. He wasn't insulted or filled with wrath but, he was poured with a lighthearted feeling that swelled inside of him, turning him to blush red later on. Their close contact to each other turned the very place to be filled with heartwarming sensations and fluttering purple butterflies, even though the two of them were a terrifying dark Goddess and a desecrated fallen hero. The next day, as Zeran felt that his body and energy was back to his energetic self, the two of them had left the clinic that seemed to be a hospital in respect. Ru was now covering herself with her purple cloak once again in order to not cause that much attention. They had trodden along the winding hallways again to continue their travels. Though, it wasn't to go back to their world. Rather, they went along to witness and observe with, their very sights upon the eye-catching and quality merchandises of various things at the shop's windows and stalls. Zeran scratched his head but, his face didn't show any crazed-off irritation for the dark Goddess. Instead, he had shown a compelling smile and satisfied feeling from within, such as you'd see a boyfriend with his girlfriend on a sensitive date in modern world. Later, Ru had her sights at a certain scandalous-looking shop ridden in aquatic blue, named unto it's Neon blue signboard of "AH!QUAS ENTERPRISE". Females in royal blue business outfits cloaked in blazers were offerring out flyers and freebies at the seeming entrance. As she saw the brazen place, she looked really eager and rushed her way there as fast as she can in a graceful way, letting Zeran to chase and follow her with an uttered feeling. Soon, one of the female in the blue outfit noticed Ru in front of the shop and gave Ru an aquatic sphere, in which it was releasing intense flowing blue energy lights pulsing around in a heartbeat. As soon as he had catched up unto the easily interested Ru into freebies, Ru looked at him and proved to him with an interested gleeful look upon her very sexy tone, while she was holding the sphere of some sort,
"Ara♪?"
"Zera...check this out..."
"They're giving out this freebie!".
Zeran piqued an unseeming interest look at the thing she was holding. His eyes was then set to scan the sphere dyed in aquatic resemblance. There, he saw the vivid information and geometric bars of such detail in data,
["MANUFACTURED BY: AH!QUAS ENTERPRISE"]
["TAGLINE:IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING!"]
["NAME: TEMPORAL SEALING SPHERE"]
["ITEM DESCRIPTION:"]
["...A DUEL item that OMNI-SEALS any ONE random ability of anyone. Be it Demon, Human, Dragon, Monster, Gods, divine beings or anything at all etc. . It can also penetrate any immunity the enemy has. The OMNI-SEAL duration lasts until the end of the duel..."]
["NOTE:"]
["...UNTESTED!..."]
["CHANCES SUCCESFUL: ?%"].
As he had finished scanning, he facepalmed his creeped out face with all absurdities he had mustered upon he had witnessed, Even in his thoughts was seeped ininsane crazed tensions of irksome weridness,
("Great...another CRAZY invention by that crazy Goddess...")
("What's next? She'll be selling her own bathwater now?!")
("Please...just...no...").
Sadly, Ru looked upon the inside of the eccentric shop. Her eyes laid on the bottled water for sale. Having the inexplicable tag of, "OUR LADY'S PURE BATHWATER!", in which it proved his weird predictions to be correct on all points. Her voice whiffed at Zeran in a quite pleasing way to hear,
"Ara? She's selling bathwater Zera...".
Sadly, his only comment was disgrace in his look and hairs to creep out on his skin. In his thoughts, it was poured with insane and nefarious absurdity in the whole world,
("I stand corrected...").
Thankfully for him, Ru didn't delve deeper into the unusual shop. Though, he was also given the same item as Ru as they left the shop. There was nothing for him to do but to keep it since, the lady handing that to him was confronting too close at his face with an eager smile of shining and sparkling eyes of sort. Soon enough, Ru gave him the other one and piqued him a signal of an action that'd say, "Keep it at your DIMENSION INVENTORY". The two were able to fled and Zeran was able release the grip of creepy tensions. Soon, Ru casted out her magical card in a grandeous way to behold, that made them to go back to her own home outside filled with turnips planted down below. Fluttering violet butterflies glowing in the night abyss were laid upon their eyes. Ru twisted such as a fleeting ballerina would. Then, she leaned near close to Zeran's face with her interested look, as she speaks in a very subtle way to him,
"Now my phone's recharged in its juice..."
"I was able to know at the next artifact we're after...".
He asks her,
"Okay...what's the next artifact then?".
She stood up in front of him, while she looked at him with a sinister grin with sneakish movement of her tail like a sly vixen. Her succulent lips were touching her finger again, as she replies of with passionate reverence,
"It's called...Shimmerblight...".
Meanwhile, on Mai's different situation. She was now with Queen Fae. As they were in an area brimmed in springwater paired below the concrete parchment of sophistication. There were dangling of Kois seeping into the leaking waters. Pure white wallflowers were surrounding them and an exquisite arch vacant in space to let them through. Mai was sitting upon a white metal chair. She says in a quite serious manner upon the Queen Fae busy drinking her tea directly,
"So...what is it you want to talk about...Fae..."
"Or should I say Queen Fae now?".
While in Mai's thoughts were much more intriguing,
("Since she's here atleast...")
("She better explain to me on why her King didn't send any reinforcements on our kingdom...").
Though, Fae's vile look wasn't emerging somehow, instead it was masked in great worry and deep concern over something, like a pure maiden would to her unsatisfied lover. Then she said as she was nearly crying,
"It's about...Zen...".
