"Excess in drinking and lust harms the body!"
"Look how haggard you've become."
Indra cleared his throat and earnestly admonished.
Really?
Sun God Surya blinked, quickly waved his hand, and conjured a smooth, shining mirror in front of him, reflecting his own appearance.
He turned his head to the left for a look, then again to the right.
Majestic and sacred!
Aside from the sun-like crimson red on his face, there seemed to be no issue at all.
"I'm still alright!"
Surya said.
"The other day, we agreed to practice asceticism together."
Wind God Vayu continued.
"That's right!" Water God Varuna shook his head. "I heard it too!"
Surya's expression wavered.
"My lord!"
At that moment, a woman's voice called out from within the temple.
Surya's face softened, and he said, "I will go in and see, you all go ahead with the asceticism. As for my part, it might require more opportune times."
"..."
Indra and the other two stared wordlessly at Surya's retreating figure.
