"If that's the case, we can throw up a smoke screen." Ganesha and Ouranos were close, so letting Demeter take the lead could be dangerous for business.
The best way to resolve this in this case was for the deal not to be between two of the city's most important gods, but between an old god and a newcomer. With Demeter's support from the dark, everything could be solved easily.
"Let me lead the way and instead of you accompanying me personally, have Persephone follow me as your representative." The girl could easily serve as a representative of Demeter's interests, being deeply involved in her Familia affairs.
And above all, Persephone was just another one of his daughters and not a very famous one at that. I'd never heard of her personally and if it weren't for her authority with the guards, I'd have thought she was someone ordinary.
I doubted very much that other gods recognized her, each Familia had its own business and affairs to worry about. It would be good to remember one or two relevant faces, especially in relation to high-ranking adventurers, but an administrator who was off-stage?
No one would remember her unless she was accompanied by a host of guards bearing the Familia crest. She was the kind of character who would be overlooked by anyone, lacking in presence and irrelevant.
It's even sad to think that she was named after a goddess who coincidentally was the daughter of Demeter and Zeus. At first I thought she was a goddess, but the lack of presence and dominant authority only proved otherwise.
In the mythologies, Persephone wasn't thought of as just any goddess, being the queen of the underworld, never would she be this butter-smooth girl. I couldn't see her being any more than she already was, a dull but kind administrator. And with an hourglass body, of course...
When I came back to myself, I saw Demeter's face. I was still curious how she seemed to understand every thought that went through my mind. I wondered if she understood that she would soon be my mother-in-law...
Her annoyed face told me that she knew and that I wasn't going to get along with her like any ordinary son-in-law. In her hand was a piece of wood that I could hear creaking and I could tell by the muscles contracting that she wanted to hit me over the head with it.
I wanted to run away and she wanted to beat me up, but we were both gods and we had to pretend that this mental dispute wasn't happening. With a slight cough I returned to the topic.
"Do you agree?" She looked me up and down stopping at my crotch and then looked at a pair of giant garden shears beside her, her expression wandering contentedly as she imagined herself cutting my sausage off.
"No, Persephone stays. She's too important to be wandering around these filthy streets without the company of guards capable of protecting her." She would have to come alone with me without anything to remind Demeter,which meant danger.... of course I was the danger to put it bluntly...
I felt like the boyfriend saying that I was just going to take her to watch a movie and back before ten o'clock at night, the only clear difference being that I had one more girl by my side and if I could I'd take two more with me. I could feel the terror when she grabbed the scissors and started playing with them.
the sound of the blades colliding with each other reminded me of my destiny.I swallowed dry, she was going to pin me there for sure and torture me for the rest of my life, feeding me through a dark hole...
"My goddess, I can't agree to this. I understand my importance better than anyone, but the situation is too delicate to send anyone else in my place. Not to mention that I'll be safe with him, I'm sure of it!" That's it Persephone! Tell her I'm not the hot troublemaker she thinks I am!
"Persephone, I know better than anyone about the current situation, but I can still find a better way, send someone else or postpone it to another day at a better time. We can work it out." You're insecure, aren't you? Your daughter is dying to come after me and you can't control her and now Demeter?
Why is that blade shining so much and is it in slow motion?Ohh fuck!
I narrowly dodged a blade thrown at my face, leaving a large line of blood behind. Demeter threw the scissors hard enough to kill me if not at least blind me, and she even aimed for my eye.
"His reflexes aren't too bad at least." Her voice resonated deep in my bones, full of barely contained bitterness. I think I'd better stop thinking for a moment...
"My goddess, this is dangerous." Persephone rushed over to me, taking out a small white handkerchief and wiping the wound, which was worse than I thought. If I get tetanus, I'll come back from the dead to fuck this girl and I'll make sure she sees it!
"I'm sorry, sometimes she is like that out of the blue, I hope you don't take it to heart, when you're old and unloved it happens." She glared at the jealous goddess. I wonder if she ever had a thing with Zeus and got cuckolded…
When I looked down, her beautiful cleavage stood out, her generous face that didn't want to show them off and was innocent. Demeter was right, leaving her alone with me would be her downfall, but I wasn't going to be the one to prove her right...
"Forget it, let's get going. My goddess has a lot to think about and clearly have lost her mind to judge the current situation." Of course, she's a witch with no sense. Completely crazy and incoherent, we should even put her in a mental institution, leave Persephone to look after the estate and we will get married with lots of love and joy.
If Persephone has the assets, I'll get a hot girl and a fortune that I'll never be able to spend...
Come to think of it... wouldn't it be better to poison Demeter? I can solve all my problems in one go...I think it's better to forget the story of the bike and kill her once and for all..
