Chapter 106: Chapter 106 - Future Relationship
Ariel was standing a few steps away from him, and Darius was just stuck in place, admiring her.
She was absolutely breath-taking. Darius had never seen someone nearly as perfect as her in his entire life. Persephone couldn't even be compared to the beauty who was Ariel.
She was wearing a long, white dress made of a silky material, which perfectly highlighted her features. Her long, pink hair blew in the wind, revealing her perfect face, complimented with her beautiful smile.
'I-Is that what all Goddesses look like?' Darius thought in the back of his mind as he still didn't know the type of Goddess Ariel was.
After all, Persephone was the Goddess of Death.
So, what could Ariel possible be the specialist of?
"Haha! No, not all Goddesses look like me. You probably noticed already if you were to compare yourself with Persephone. Let's say… that we are quite different from one another. Some say that we are polar opposites, which might be the case, but whatever."
"Then, what is your specialty? What are you the Goddess of?"
Ariel smiled as she lightly shook her head, completely absorbing Darius' attention instantly.
"I'm kind of offended that you couldn't figure it out simply by looking at me, but what else could I expect from my disciple!"
Ariel kept smiling as she said those things, and, truth be told, her current actions were extremely different from the way she had been acting in the past when she had been in Darius' head.
Her behavior was just a lot nicer all around; she no longer sounded cold. However, that might be an effect of seeing her in person. Maybe Darius' opinion changed when he looked at her body.
'Mhm, what could she be the Goddess of?' Darius thought in the back of his mind before hearing a word coming out of Ariel's mouth.
"DISCIPLE?! I'm your disciple? Since when?"
There was just a little bit of panic in Darius' mouth when he uttered those words. However, he quickly managed to calm himself down as much as possible.
"Well, since I decided to help you when I noticed something strange regarding to your death."
Ariel uttered those words without any care as if they were common information.
Nevertheless, Darius quickly glanced over it as he was a lot more interested in asking more questions to Ariel now that he was right there, standing right in front of her.
"Could you explain to me how [Talent Booster] works? Why can't I see the status of certain people sometimes?"
Ariel shook her head with a smile once again. "I thought you would have been able to figure out this one on your own, but it seems like you couldn't. Well, it's quite simple. Your [Talent Booster] only works on people that have jobs or roles in which they can grow to become stars of the world you are a part of."
"That's why managers, scouts, anything you can think of that doesn't have the potential to become a star won't be recognized by your skill."
Darius nodded, as it made perfect sense given what he had learned over the past couple of days. To be honest, it wasn't anything that he hadn't already considered; he had simply asked this question to be 100% sure of his theory regarding his skill.
"I see, then what are you the Goddess of?" Darius asked once more, but he still didn't get the answer.
He had a few ideas, but he wanted to be certain, and the best way for Darius to be sure was to ask the Goddess herself. It was that simple.
"…Ah, I guess you also couldn't figure that one out. Well, it's simple. I'm the Goddess of Love and Beauty, and that's why most of the skills you received from me are related to your body, charm, beauty, and those types of things. After all, all the skills you received come from me. They are skills that I nurtured in the past, waiting for a disciple."
Darius once more nodded as he tried to think of something else to ask Ariel. However, he didn't really have anything else to ask, or, at the very least, there were no questions popping up in his mind at the moment.
"So, was there a reason you called me here apart from meeting with one another?" Darius asked as he ran out of discussion ideas. After all, talking with a Goddess as beautiful as Ariel was quite a hard task.
"Actually, yes. I needed to tell you something about what would be happening next. I wanted to talk to you about how our relationship would evolve in the future."
Right as she uttered those words, Darius immediately became red as a tomato. A girl as beautiful as Ariel was talking about their future relationship. Normally, Darius would have been able to keep his calm. However, it was extremely hard when he was faced with a Goddess who couldn't even realize the effect that she could potentially have on people.
It was hard to resist her even while she wasn't even doing anything, simply standing still.
Her scent, appearance…, and everything about her just screamed perfection.
However, a few seconds passed by, and Darius was finally able to open his mouth comfortably, though he couldn't quite speak freely just yet.
"R-Relationship?! H-How is it going to evolve?"
Ariel just kept smiling through all of Darius' reactions.
"Well, it's nothing too big, don't worry," Ariel smirked a little before uttering her next words. "I just want to get closer to you, to get to know you better."
"And, uh, how are you going to do that?"
Ariel grinned as wide as she could.
"Well, isn't it obvious? We won't be able to get closer to one another if we're thousands and thousands of kilometers apart. That's why I decided to come back with you on Earth!"
Darius' eyes just widened.
"Can you repeat that?"
"I'm going to live with you on Earth!"
'I'm going to live with a Goddess?' Darius thought, staring into the beautiful sky.
