Scarblade Goddess 74 Chapter 73

"Please stop it G.o.ddess Otorine! Don't fight Yumi anymore...she's already done for...".

As for the panting and exhausted Yumine, she was still confused over her friend's rash behavior,

"What's gotten into you...Ori...".

Then, Yumine fell into deep slumber. The place was still seeped in the cold night and Otorine just continued to move forward. Although, her eyes were filled with sadness somehow. Soon enough, she was engrossed in her thoughts, while she was moving farther away from her friend,

"Sorry Yumi but, I need to know the other side as well. No matter what it takes. Also, I already knew you're going to stop me no matter what. So, I had to do this. Don't think of me as evil though.".

She returned her fanblades and attached them back to her hair ornament and silver sash. Later on, the awkward air ceased, as she entered the indoor park that was encased in a gla.s.s dome basked in the starry night sky. She saw that Senku was wearing his usual regal outfit who was sitting on a wooden bench. Thereon, she sat beside him such as a sophisticated maiden. As Senku noticed her presence, he looked at her,

"Oh, it seems you were able to meet me...".

Otorine nodded,

"Yea...".

Senku remembered something,

"Oh yeah...I almost forgot. I wanted to give you this.".

He gave her a fragile-looking sapphire heart shaped crystal necklace that dazzled in the night. As for Otorine, she accepted it wholeheartedly,

"Thank you so much Senku...".

Then, she wore it. Senku smiled and looked down, while he was holding his hands together,

"Nahhh...don't mention it. Rather, I want to talk to you about something.".

Otorine was dumbfounded,

"What is it Senku?".

Senku looked up to the stars,

"What do you think of the stars and various worlds?".

Otorine held her own hands, as a gentle lady and said her opinion,

"They're just like us...following the flow and progressing in their own ways.".

Senku was quite overwhelmed,

"Phew, that's deep...".

Then, he sighed,

"Well, do you think the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses of Celestia Heavens are doing the same thing, as the one you've said before?".

Otorine crossed her arms and looked down,

"To be honest, no...the—I mean we don't follow the flow...since we are all unique in our own ways. To strive for our own ways of progress.".

As he heard Otorine's much more deeper statements and understanding, he was at a loss for words and he just made an awkward smile. The only thing he could do was to agree with her somehow,

"Uh huh...".

To keep the ball rolling, he held her chin and looked at her straight in the eye,

"Well, as a star Ori...you're really amazing. You're shining bright than most of the other G.o.ddesses.".

Otorine replied unsurely,

"Thanks?".

Somehow, Senku couldn't understand on why Otorine wasn't flattered over his compliment that would make any normal fangirl to melt and clap their ears. Although, he grew even more interested in her. Soon enough, he brought out a white cloth and remembered something once again,

"Oh yes...I almost forgot, again..."

Otorine was dumbstruck yet again. He tried to put a blindfold on her but, Otorine refused. Though, Senku was very persistent so Otorine just accepted his offer. Thereupon, Otorine was now wearing a blindfold but, she felt embarra.s.sed and irritated as well,

"Se-Senku this is kinda a bit...".

Though, Senku told her to not worry,

"Don't worry...I'm sure you'll love it.".

She put her trust in him and nodded. Soon, she heard a snap of a finger and her firm bottom felt that she was now sitting on a comfy chair. There after, Senku told her,

"Alright, you can take off the blindfold now...".

As Otorine took out the blindfold, she sensed that she was in a different realm already. Her glancing eyes saw that she was now in a very luxurious dining room table filled with pa.s.sion and romance. Though, the huge windows were shut by the velvet curtains for some strange reason. Also, Senku was next to her. It's as if the two of them were on a proper dinner date with candle light. A while later, Senku poured the velvet rose wine on each of their gla.s.ses,

"So...what do you think? Of my place that is?".

Otorine praised him,

"I must say, it's a nice place you have...".

Then, she let the spirit of the wine to simmer down and for the scent to be even more divine. Senku made a grateful smile. A while later, he uttered out his words of romance,

"That necklace of yours...is just like you...".

Otorine was dumbfounded once again and tilted her head. Though, Senku just continued his flattering statements that would woo any normal lady,

"Your necklace is the lunar sapphire of the blue moon. A truly beautiful, calm, and unique gemstone that would only be found at the rarest of the highest tides. Yet, it's such a delicate gemstone as it is comparable to the likes of crystal sugars when dropped if not handled correctly.".

Then, Senku told more,

"Also...".

Senku held Otorine's hand with a delicate touch,

"Would you desire to be my woman? For eternity?".

Otorine was kinda startled and flattered at the same time but, she just looked away. Though, Senku tried to convince her more with his words seeped in honey, as he was a very stubborn admirer,

"Everything you want, I shall give it to you. Even any kind of desire as well...And I shall protect you as, you are a very delicate hidden gem to me...".

Otorine was quite pleased of his daring offers but, she just made a weak faded smile,

"I appreciate your offer Senku but, I must decline...".

Senku's eyebrow twitched,

"What do you mean?".

Otorine looked at him straight and caressed his face with her flawless G.o.ddess touch,

"Before, I was starting to like you...Yet, my heart already belongs to—".

Senku facepalmed with a displeased expression,

"Na.s.sus? That kid now? Geez Ori, you're really insistent on loving a kid with no memories?".

Otorine stopped caressing his face and took her stand on her dear little Na.s.sus,

"Yes. And also...".

Otorine sighed and gave him a cold icy stare,

"Please stop with the acts Senku. Tell me, what do you really want? And stop calling me Ori. As I only allow my closest friends and Na.s.sus to use my weird nickname.".

Senku made a smirk and facepalmed once more,

"So you figured it out?".

Otorine gulped,

"What?".

The atmosphere turned to chill, as Senku's malicious aura seeped through the air. His sudden maniacal laugh and his malevolent grin of the d.a.m.ned was being witnessed by Otorine. In which Otorine was being crept out more and more by the strange reaction of Senku. As Senku had finished laughing, his hands made a slow clap for Otorine,

"Bravo Ori! Bravo! I can't believe you were able to puzzle everything out...".

Senku held her chin and gave her a menacing stare of the chaotic abyss,

"Now tell me, how did you know it was all orchestrated by me?".

Otorine's eyes widened and she stood up immediately, as Senku just confessed that he was the whole mastermind somehow,

"Wait...so everything that had happened was really because of you?!".

Her finger was pointing at him. While for Senku he was kinda surprised as well, since Otorine just knew just now,

"Huh? I thought you already knew...nevermind. Well now you know...".

Afterwards, Senku snapped his fingers that echoed throughout the the stagnant room. In a split of a second, a mysterious hooded female visage emerged from the distorted abyss. Then, she slammed Otorine's head and spine down to the table forcefully. While her hands were immobilized already. When Otorine took a closer look of the visage's face, she saw the short silver-haired Ira. In turn Otorine was filled with immense shock,

"Ira?! But why? I thought you've cha—.".

"Sorry Ori but, I have my own personal reasons. Though, I don't want to do this to you either.",

Ira interrupted Otorine on initiative. More so, Otorine witnessed that Ira had a fresh red wound on her chest while Ira was wearing a seductive lingerie underneath. Although, Ira was having a frown on her face. Otorine shrugged and fight back yet, Ira's grip was tight. Thereupon, the only thing Otorine could possibly do was to have regrets in her thoughts,

"Tsk! I'm such an idiot! And I just entered his place without any plan whatsoever...ugh...Yumine was right...I should've just listened to my friend!".

Yeah, you're an idiot and kinda naive as well. As Senku was finished drinking his wine non-chalanty, he poured another. Otorine glared at him and asked him straight,

"Why are you doing this?! What could you possibly hope to achieve here?".

Otorine tried to struggle once more but, she was still pinned down. Senku just sighed and felt his forehead,

"Let's just say, liberation and revolution for the new Celestia Heavens. Ya know the GENERIC IDEALS of a greedy king. Yeah, something like that...".

Senku scratched the back of his head, as it was not much of a big deal,

"And yes, I'll be the new Celesta G.o.d King...really generic actually.".

Otorine tried to imply,

"So you wanted to crush G.o.ddess Queen Weissia?! Why?! Aren't you satisfied how everything is going at Celestia Heavens?!".

Then, she expressed more, while looking at him with her crystal tears of mercy and confusion,

"This is not you Senku! This is not you!".

Senku took another sip of his spirit. Then, he just replied complacently with added emphasis and gesture somehow,

"Well, I JUST NEED to do this...as I am one of the CHOSEN ONES OF OMEGA...".

Ira gulped, as she heard Senku's grand proclamation of himself. Senku made a sarcastic grin and tried to calm her with his twisted sugar-coated words,

"Please don't hate me Ori. I don't want to do this to you too but, why don't we have an AMAZING TIME first. My Final G.o.dDESS OF DISTORTION...".

Senku licked his dry lips afterwards. As he was about to indulge himself into G.o.ddes Otorine's divine essence of flooding pa.s.sion and pleasure. Although, inside Senku's deep thoughts, he was having regrets,

"I truly hate myself...".

Maybe Senku's having doubts somehow? Soon enough, he stood up, while he was holding his wine gla.s.s. Then, he went to Otorine slowly. The last thing Otorine could do was to pour out a sacred tear, crying for a miracle to happen.

"Please, someone...save me...",

as she expressed wholeheartedly in her thoughts. As her pure crystal fragment of sorrow and mercy touched the floor, suddenly, Senku heard something amiss outside. In turn, he shifted his head to the window,

"Hm?".

The next moment, the window shattered into millions of fragments and the adult-looking Na.s.sus emerged like a bad*ss fighter. Senku was struck with surprise and dropped his wine gla.s.s into the floor. While for Otorine she was filled with a glimpse of hope, as her knight-in-shining armor came to her sudden rescue,

"NNa.s.sus?".
