Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 21: Temple of Minerva

Minerva is the Goddess of Wisdom, Art, Trade and, Strategy, even if she looks like a child, no one looks down upon her. As a Goddess, Minerva has live for eons, her strength is incomparable to any mortal.

Compared to the other Gods, She is not considered weak, her strength may not be the greatest but her potential is beyond her father, the King of God, as the prophecy says that one day Minerva will surpass her father.

Jupiter had tried to kill her before her birth, but fate says another thing, She ended up being one of her father's most precious person.

Temple of Minerva currently don't have any Hire as she has never had any descendant. This makes her influence in the mortal realm even less than Minor Gods.

As a Major God, Minerva feels her pride being hurt, "How can I let everyone have a toy that I don't? I will find a way, Hihihi" She giggles in her chamber.

Sol who is on his way toward Temple of Minerva's campsite with Miya by his side feels gloomy.

Ever since he kills the black python, everyone is talking about him, the Heir killer, a highschool teacher who can kill a creature Heir with only a knife. Some rumor is very exaggerated, they say that he kill a nine headed hydra with his bare hand, others say that he is immune to Heir's ability.

The most absurd one claim that he is a Demigod!

From all this rumor, they have one similarity, it says that he has a pure white cat lover who always by his side. Some even say that he married her before she becomes humanoid, some say that they have a child, a mix between human and cat.

"This is absurd! How am I suppose to face my students if they think me as a pervert" Sol lament

"I may be a hopeless teacher who has a one-sided feeling for one of his students, but I don't have any fetish for furry!" he feels frustrated that he wanted to pull his hair.

He wants to tell everyone that it was a misunderstanding, but it's already too late for that, to many rumor has spread.

When Sol arrives at the campsite, he was greeted by a woman in a white robe. She doesn't talk at all, she just gestures him to follow her.

They are going toward the temple, Sol can see the statue outside of the temple, it looks like a Goddess, very beautiful, "of course it looks like a Goddess, it is a Goddess statue!" sol told himself.

Once they get to the giant door of the temple, the woman gestures him to get inside.

"Is she telling me to get in?" from what little he knows, nobody has ever got into a temple of God.

Sol gets close to the door while the woman turns around and leaves him alone. The door opens by itself, it opens just big enough for one person to go through.

"Miya, can you wait for me outside?" he tells her to wait, but a sweet-toned voice comes from the temple, "She may get in, I would love to meet your partner". A giggling sound can be heard after that.

"it seems that Minerva knows my trouble with these rumors" he sighs.

In the temple, Sol can see a lot of giant pilar and at the end of the corridor, there is a giant throne with a life-size statue of a child.

When about to kneel down in front of the statue, suddenly the statue turns alive and says, "you don't need to kneel, come here chat with me" She said while winking to tease him.

A table and two chairs rise from the ground in front of her throne, on top of it are a tea set and a lot of sweets.

Minerva happily munches the sweet, while gesturing him to take a seat.

Sol and Miya sit silently, they wait for more than five minutes for Minerva to start talking but she just keeps munching.

Miya can't stop herself any longer and joins her, Sol wants to stop her for fear that she will offend the Goddess.

"Here try this one, it's strawberry" Minerva gives Miya a strawberry crepe.

"fuuu" Sol give a sigh of relief, had she offend a Goddess, he doesn't know if he will be able to save her. "it seems that Minerva likes her"

After another hour of waiting, he finally can't wait anymore, "E.. Excuse me your highness" he started.

"Your Cuteness" she cuts in.

"Pardon me?" he said confusedly.

"You can call me Your cuteness" She said seriously.

Sol can feel his face cramps, "yes, Your Cuteness. Your Cuteness can I know why do you call the unworthy me?"

"oh yeah, that thing!" she seems to realize.

"she forgot about me in the middle of her snacks!" Sol complains to himself.

"do you want to join my temple?" she turns serious and looks at him in the eyes.

"I'm sorry your cuteness, but I don't really know about all this thing about faction, so I would like to stay neutral until I get to know this world better" Sol says his prepared speech for this kind of scenario.

Sol has made some preparations before he met her, such as how to talk to her and what to says, so far his preparation isn't that effective because she behaves out of his expectation.

"You are not fun you know? She pouts.

"then how about you offer your last kill to me as a sacrifice to me, I will grant one of your wishes in return" She beams at him.

"her mood swing is very drastic!" he complains to himself.

"Can you grant any wish?" he asked.

"It depends on how big your wish is, if it is to bigger than your offering than I will need you to do me another favor." She says lightly.
