Chapter 23 - But, I refuse

Luo Wei turned around and went around the streets.

The sunlight fell on the spaces between the houses, but he quickly found the source of his induction in a shadow.

"Humph, I thought you didn't dare to come!"

On both sides stood towering halls, sandwiched in the center, and the flat, deep alleys extended forward, with crisp sounds echoing.

The figure with her back to him spoke these words, her black hair swept as she turned around, and her fair and toned figure glowed with an ivory-like white luster in the shadows.

Just as Luo Wei had guessed.

"As expected, it's you... Ishtar."

"That's right, it's me, the goddess!" Ishtar flipped her hair, her expression as usual, as if the last humiliation didn't exist.

It's just on the delicate goddess's face; there was an elegant smile, which was completely different from the wanton arrogance before; it had an intellectual beauty.

The goddess awaited Luo Wei's reaction with some anticipation.

Since her last defeat, she had merged with the human nature contained in her body and gradually understood the so-called "spiritual beauty" of human beings.

To be honest--

Just be gentle!

Gentle women are the most popular, and everyone likes them..

She believed Luo Wei was no exception...

So, Ishtar raised her eyes and looked at him.

What caught her eye was naturally the handsome young face that had impressed her deeply.

And that expression seemed to be saying...

'Girl, you disappointed me!'

"..."

What kind of expression is this?

Her dignified expression suddenly collapsed.

But what she didn't know was that Luo Wei was indeed disappointed.

He thought this 'invitation' of hers was just to take revenge on him and take his life... Otherwise, why would he be so excited and come here actively?

For this cause, he had even deliberately sent Enkidu away.

Isn't this what he was greedy for?

And now...this is the result?

"If nothing else is happening, I'll go back!" Luo Wei shrugged and yawned lazily as if he didn't even want to look at Ishtar.

Playing hard to get.

This was a greater shame to the gods than a direct insult.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, her expression suddenly changed, but she quickly calmed down.

The half-naked and toned goddess took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling.

No, she couldn't just let him run away.

Otherwise, her efforts over the past seven days would be in vain!

Luo Wei clapped his hands, pretending to turn around and leave.

Then he heard Ishtar walking closer with light steps and gentle ripples in her legs and hips.

The distance was only about five meters.

Are you ready to take action?

Luo Wei was inexplicably looking forward to it.

But Ishtar just spoke with a rather cute smile on her pretty face.

She said: "Be my lover, Mr. Luo Wei !"

"?"

Luo Wei's face was filled with questions.

Are you making trouble with me? Do we know each other well?

wrong--

Is she trying to use the same trick on him that she used on Gilgamesh?

Thinking back to what the goddess had said when she left the palace hall at the end of their last encounter, he suddenly understood.

But seriously, can a trick that didn't even work on that stupid guy work on him?

However, the fact that Ishtar had said these words meant that she had not communicated with the heavens in the past few days, or she would have known that Luo Wei had just done an act of transgression that shook the majesty of the gods.

If she did, she would either not have come to see him alone.

Or she should have wanted to kill him as soon as they met.

What a pity.

"You don't have to rush to answer me." Seeing Luo Wei's silence after deep thought, Ishtar didn't expect him to give an answer right away.

The goddess put her arms around her chest and squeezed in hard as if trying to squeeze something out. Finally, she found that she had no choice but to give up.

At the same time, she raised her other hand, raising a finger.

The green-white jade fingers stood out in the shadowy alley as she said leisurely: "I know what you're thinking."

After the words fell, the goddess took two steps forward, getting closer to him.

The fragrance hit his face instantly, and her soft and alluring body was only inches away from him.

Luo Wei was stunned as he looked at Ishtar, who had her face close to his.

Although he had insulted her, calling her ugly but, in his heart, Luo Wei never thought of her as such.

He had never underestimated Ishtar's appearance; after all, this body she was using was 'Rin Tohsaka's' one of the heroines in the 'Type Moon' series.

Even if her appearance might not be the best, but she was undeniably beautiful.

Not to mention, the two people who were so close to each other at this moment and their posture seemed quite ambiguous.

This was something Ishtar would never have done before.

The proud goddess, who regarded everything in the world as a plaything, would never have allowed a human to get so close to her.

—Not even Gilgamesh.

However, the fusion of humanity and divinity over the past seven days, as well as the arrogance and unwillingness of the Goddess of Beauty, had led her to this moment.

The goddess tilted her head, her red lips puckering, and her face flushed.

"...How is it? My heart is beating very fast?"

Ishtar softly brought her red lips to Luo Wei's ear and spoke in a sultry tone...but there was a hint of a smile on her lips.

Based on her research into the 'human nature' that she had integrated into herself over the past few days, she had rehearsed this moment in her mind repeatedly.

She believed that no human being could resist such temptation.

So she seemed very confident - and also praised her own intelligence and her performance at the moment.

Even her slightly rising and falling chest and her heart that was beating extremely violently.

But it was all just a show...

"The heartbeat and pulse are abnormal. This is a disease and needs to be cured,"

Luo Wei said seriously, holding down Ishtar's exposed slender shoulders, pushing her away from his ear, and facing her directly.

Ishtar was taken aback.

This guy...why didn't he respond?

Of course, it was difficult for Luo Wei to react, not because he had lost normal human desires, but because...

"Your Excellency Ishtar, aren't you using magic to disperse ordinary people around you?"

He raised his other hand and pointed behind Ishtar, and the latter's body froze slightly.

She realized something but didn't dare to look.

because--

"What are they doing in public?"

"I don't know..."

"A young couple in love?

Ah, it's great to be young..."

Behind them, the sound of discussion came.

In this public place, being caught doing something like this, no matter how much she tried to endure, there would be some reactions, right?

The blush on Ishtar's face instantly looked like it was about to burst through her skin...

Ahhhhh——

So embarrassing, so shameful.... this is really embarrassing.!

The once-majestic goddess was reduced to this!

A gust of wind swept through,

The figure disappeared instantly.

Luo Wei was startled; glancing at Ishtar's raised hand, a glimmer of light appeared in the palm of his hand.

At that moment, he also subconsciously wanted to stop it.

Although he wanted to die, he couldn't sit back and watch his kind being slaughtered, but unexpectedly... Ishtar did not kill them but used the goddess's power to erase the memory of the onlookers and sent them away.

Now this..

This was by no means a normal reaction of the Goddess of Beauty.

"I thought it was strange before..." And he finally realized: "You've integrated the 'humanity' from your vessel, haven't you?"

Such inexplicable shyness.

Her reaction when the critical moment was disrupted... there was no doubt that it was the influence of Tohsaka Rin.

This was a déjà vu that he had experienced before.

That's why the group of 'onlookers' were allowed to arrive... 'Tohsaka Rin' would slip up, but he wouldn't.

Those ordinary people couldn't hide it from him, who was now the Key to Heaven himself.

The result was also obvious,

Ishtar did not kill these mortals, who were originally regarded as toys by the goddess... This is a 'kindness' that the original 'her' never possessed.

"snort!"

Ishtar, blushing slightly, turned away her head, looking extremely unnatural because of her guilty conscience: "I...I made it very clear!"

"Be... become my lover - you bastard!"

Although she couldn't help feeling embarrassed, Ishtar still spoke because of the goddess's strength.

So, this was the most famous Tsundere Heroine.

But he had to say that this Ishtar was far cuter than her former self.

Luo Wei looked moved, and even Ishtar, who thought the plan had failed, began to feel hopeful again.

Then there's——

"But I refuse!"

Are you... are you teasing me?
