Both of them sat down on the sofa as Anom dragged the table nearer, making it easier for Luna to eat.
She insisted on standing up and serving, but Anom refused her and started serving the food while sitting on the sofa. Soon, they started their dinner.
"Hmm. This is good." Anom exclaimed as he ate a fried meat dish. It looked like fried chicken and was juicy and crispy. He also liked a soup that, according to Luna, was made from some herbs and fishes, both being acquired from the forest area around Nulis City.
Anom ate his food with gusto, while Luna took small bites and ate slowly. She looked at Anom every now and then, smiling whenever she saw him enjoying the food she brought.
Both ate till they were full, especially Anom, who ate till he wondered if his agility would be affected.
Luna got up and began gathering the dishes and, despite her attempts to dissuade him, Anom also helped.
Seeing that it was time to leave, Luna couldn't help but look at Anom reluctantly.
He smiled and patted her soft black hair. "You can come and visit me whenever you want." Seeing her still being sad, he added, "I'll try to get Madam Loreana to agree to make you serve me exclusively. That's okay with you, right?"
Luna smiled. She nodded and took her leave.
Anom couldn't help but follow her small figure as she passed the garden outside his house. Although the moon compliments the beauty of every girl, Luna looked a little special as she walked under the moon. It was as if the moonlight was falling on this earth just for her.
Anom stood in a trance when Luna, who had walked halfway, raised her head and looked at the moon. Then she turned around and smiled sweetly when she saw Anom standing there and looking at her. She turned back and started leaving again, but this time her steps looked relaxed.
Anom saw as her figure disappeared among the other buildings. He closed the door and returned inside.
Now that he was free, he had an intense desire to meet Della.
He acted on it as he made his way up the stairs.
He opened the door and did as Loreana had done before, pressed the pattern on the wall, making the room turn bright.
The room had a bed, a reading table with a chair and some other basic furniture.
Anom walked towards the bed as he removed his shoes.
He lied down and felt the softness and springiness, as he let out a breath of comfort.
Soon, he focused his attention on his soul.
His internal energy started flowing evenly and his breathing became calm. Anom looked as if he was sleeping, but while his body relaxed, his spirit had found a connection to his soul. His soul touched a warm imprint, left behind by the person it missed so much, and triggered it.
Soon, his soul felt itself getting washed over by a warm current as Anom felt like he had teleported back to Della's Dimension.
Speak of the goddess, and she appears.
But instead of appearing near him, she kept a distance and greeted him with a smile.
Anom also smiled, "My dear, why aren't you coming here to give your husband a greeting kiss?"
"Wh-Who's your wife? And I'm fine at this place." Della refused to go near him as if she was afraid of something.
"Alright then. I'll just come over to you." He smiled and began walking towards her.
Della copied him and took a step whenever he did. The only difference being, she was going backwards.
Soon, a chase was taking place in this realm as Anom ran after Della. She began enjoying this quickly and would turn around every now and then to mock Anom.
But she was the one who stopped running first, as she knew it was pointless to run like that.
Anom was also enjoying this and wasn't paying much attention, which caused him to crash in Della. They both rolled on the non-existent floor as Anom took the chance to hold her soft body.
As soon as they stopped rolling, Della made a pitiful expression while saying, "Please give me some time. Since I started to live like a mortal, I've begun to understand these human emotions more deeply. So, please wait a bit more."
Seeing this beautiful goddess, acting like a pitiful wife made Anom's heart go soft.
He got in a sitting position as he made Della sit on his lap. He spoke lovingly, "Do you think I will force you to do anything? You can take as much time as you want. When you finally decide on an answer, you'll find me waiting for you."
His words made Della feel a new kind of joy, something which she had never felt before. Now that she was experiencing the life of a mortal, her interactions with Anom made her reap significant benefits. Not like she was doing it for that, though. She was just like a young maiden enjoying the feeling of first love.
But soon her love-struck expression changed into a panicked one as she exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
While she was still enjoying the sweetness of Anom's words, he had turned her around on his lap. Now she was facing downwards while her back was upwards.
Anom positioned his hand behind her butt as he spoke, "Although I don't mind you taking your time, don't you think it's a bad habit to not have any trust in your husband? Do you think of me as someone unreliable?" He continued with an evil smirk, "Now I must discipline you so that you won't do anything like that ever again."
*Pah* *Pah* *Pah*
Loud slapping sounded echoed, and along with them was a sweet scream of embarrassment and pleasure.
Anom spanked, kneaded, and rubbed the goddess' buttocks to his heart's content.
Currently, Anom was lying with a satisfied expression on his face while Della was on his chest. Her face was flushed as she took deep breaths to calm her agitated heart.
She couldn't help but get angry when she saw him smiling as he looked at the hand that he had used to spank her.
As she was already lying atop him, she elbowed his thigh, which made him jolt and shout in pain.
"Hey! You don't have to be so heavy handed. What if your hand slipped and you ended up damaging something important? How would you enjoy yourself in the future when you're ready?" Anom spoke exasperatedly as he rubbed the muscles on his thigh.
Della made a confused expression as she couldn't process what he meant. But when it finally hit her, she gritted her teeth while her face turned redder.
"YOU!!!! You… Stupid!!… You… you…" She towards Anom while pointing her slender finder at him.
Anom chuckled as he realised that if he kept teasing her like this, the poor goddess would soon begin to hurl profanities to vent her anger.
Suddenly, Della's expression changed as she got near Anom. She closed her eyes as she tried to feel something.
Anom looked at her in confusion but he waited without disturbing her.
Della opened her eyes and spoke with brows furrowed, "Weird. I felt a special aura from your soul."
"What aura?" asked Anom. He didn't understand what she meant by that.
"Hmm… If it was something which I could feel even while my powers are supressed, then it must be something really great. But you don't have to worry. Whoever that aura belonged to, it has created a harmonious relationship with your soul. It will only be beneficial for you in the long run." She tried again but couldn't do anything about it without her powers.
Della shook her head and looked at Anom curiously, "Now tell me what you have experienced in the last few days."
Anom laughed when he saw her expression. She looked like a child who was waiting eagerly to listen to a bedtime story.
He began telling her about how he discovered the energy existing within him. Della nodded and complimented that his soul had grown even stronger than before. It wouldn't be long before he would be able to communicate with her without needing to find a secluded place to focus.
Next, he told her about his experiences in the Zeru forest. How he met Crystal and saved her from those killers. He explained in detail as his story finished with him being dining with the cute maid.
Della couldn't help but comment, "A villain who attacks helpless little girls."
Anom chuckled, "And which one are you? Oh, right! You are my little jealous goddess, no?"
"Humph!" Della snorted and looked away.
'Damn! She must have learned to act like this from Cassana. Looks like she also needs some punishment.'
"You should go back." Della spoke all of a sudden, surprising Anom.
Before he could ask, she continued, "Although I don't have my powers, I can still predict some things. And I felt someone approaching you."
"You can see the future?" asked Anom with a surprised expression. Although she was a goddess, it was still amazing that she could see the future.
Della shook her head, "I can just predict some facts. It varies depending on the power of an individual. That is the control a person has over energy… But everything is under my control as long as it is within the boundaries of my world."
"You're a goddess alright." Anom smiled.
"Take care." Della gathered her courage as she leaned forward and kissed Anom's lips.
Anom was taken by surprise but he reacted quickly and pulled her into his embrace. Thus, the short kiss ended up as a long moment of breathlessness.
They separated their lips after a long while as Della took deep breaths and looked at Anom with an embarrassed and sweet expression.
Anom licked his lips and savoured her sweet scent as he said goodbye and left.
Meanwhile, in Della's dimension…
Cassana was baking some cookies according to the recipe Anom had taught her. She was also using the oven she had forced Lizi to make.
"Anchhooo!!!"
A sneeze left her mouth, making the cute angel confused.
But she soon began delighted, "Wow! I even sneezed like a mortal would. Hehe… Looks like I will have something to brag about in front of Mother God."
