Chapter 142

I spoke with Vaje again at Ryoukichi’s invitation, and after I got a good response from her I returned to my room. There, my old friend Thanatos, subordinate of the God of the Underworld Hades, was waiting for me.

Thanatos is still dressed as beautifully as the last time I saw her, and although Selina and Dramina should be smaller existences compared to her, Thanatos still treated them with reverence, due to the fact that they are my future spouses.

According to Thanatos, Hades has grown very impatient to meet me ever since my reincarnation, and is waiting, nearly two steps away from just coming over to see me.

In general, the gods tend to be more patient compared to the living beings on earth, so I thought it would be alright to let him wait until my natural lifespan as a human passed, but…

「So the reason why Hades is in a bad mood is because I already met with Mairahl and Aldeath, but put off my meeting with him for later?」

In response to my question, Thanatos gave a small nod.

「That is one reason. It is because Lord Dragon, you are one of the few people that Lord Hades can act childishly around」

「It would be bad for a respectable god like him to be so spoiled, but I guess that’s what friends are for. How are Enma and Mucchan doing, Thanatos-chan?」

「The two of them are glad that you have reincarnated and that your whereabouts are now known. They are not angry about being unable to meet with you, so please rest assured」

「I wish Hades would also be as composed as them. He can’t maintain his dignity as ruler of the Underworld if he’s always making his subordinates worry about him like this」

「Please consider it as evidence of how deeply he cherishes his friendship with you. Anyway, you said “Thanatos-chan” earlier. You’re the only one who calls me that」

Thanatos gave a troubled smile as she said that, and in response, I tilted my head and answered back with a question.

「Is it really only me? I was there when the concept of death came into existence in this world, so I was there during the moment when you and Hypnos were born, after all.

In human terms, you are like a friend’s child, or like a nephew or niece, to me.

That is why I might be treating you a bit too much like a child, but you’ve already grown into a wonderful goddess. It’s quite overdue, but should I stop calling you with “-chan”?」

「That is what I was thinking, before I met you again. But now that we are here and you are calling me that, it causes feelings of nostalgia to overflow in my chest, so I am a bit troubled, but… I would greatly appreciate it if you refrained from doing so」

「If that is what you wish, then I shall comply. Now then, Selina, Dramina」

While I was savoring the joy of reuniting and talking with Thanatos, Selina and Dramina had kept their lips tightly shut, not wanting to interrupt the conversation.

The two of them have exchanged conversation with other gods greater than Thanatos before, but perhaps because Thanatos is the goddess of death, their bodies and minds seemed to be bound by emotions more akin to fear, rather than just nervousness.

「Ah, y-yes. I’m sorry, Dran, I spaced out for a little」

Selina was hugging herself, her body stiff with tension. When I called out to her, the tension seemed to dissolve from her body, and a bit of color returned to her pale face.

Fumu, they don’t mean any offense toward her, but Thanatos is a goddess of death after all. From the viewpoint of a lifeform that fears the call of death, there is no way they wouldn’t be scared of her. It’s a tricky situation.

「Hmm, I thought we had gotten used to gods, after meeting with Mairahl and Caravis, but it appears that I had presumed too soon. As expected, true gods are too big of an existence compared to us」

Compared to Selina, Dramina was not as affected by Thanatos’ influence.

Depending on their Creator’s wishes, vampires may perish, but they do not know death. Her own spiritual prowess, and the fact that she is the owner of a sacred weapon originally created by a god, for a god, those are the reasons for the differences between her and Selina.

Dramina lightly shook her head, causing her purple-silver hair to sway and twinkle. Seeing that, Thanatos let out a small but genuine exclamation of admiration.

Fumu, her beauty can be understood even by a goddess, huh? What a great lover I have. Ehehe.

「Thanatos is the highest ranking goddess among the gods of death. Normally, the fact that you were able to regain your senses is already a great feat.

And since Thanatos has come all this way, I can’t possibly let her go without going to visit Hades myself. I shall go with Thanatos now to visit Hades.

I don’t think anyone else will come to visit at this time, but I’ll leave a clone body for you two just in case」

As I told them that, I created the clone right next to me. Upon seeing two of me, Selina blinked in surprise, but she still nodded in reply immediately.

「I understand. You must take good care of your friend. It’s the same for anyone, even if he is a god」

Fumu, so she’s saying even if he’s a god, I should treat him like a human. Selina is an unexpectedly amazing person too, isn’t she?

「Anyway, I really can’t tell the difference between your clone and the real thing」

Selina and Dramina both stared fixedly at the other “me” standing next to me. We share the same consciousness, so there isn’t a single trace of physical difference between us.

Aside from the core of its existence being me, it is as Selina says, the difference between us is indistinguishable.

「Well, I did make the clone with that purpose in mind. Now then, Selina, Dramina, I’ll leave things here to you」

「Yes, leave it to us. But there’s probably nothing for us to do anyway」

「I will wait with Selina for your return, Selina. That is my duty, as your future spouse, after all」

「Fumu, I’m grateful. Thanatos, let’s go and meet your master, for the first time in a long time. Do I need to bring any presents?」

「No, there is no need for your concern. Your presence itself is the greatest present you could give to them, Lord Dragon」

That is excellent. Having gained Thanatos’ approval, I felt better about it, and I stealthily left the boys’ dormitory together with her.

After we left the boys’ dorm without being seen by anyone, we headed not towards the heavens, nor toward the Dragon World, but toward the Underworld.

The method of transportation for us to get there was the same way we would have gone to the Dragon World. In other words, we headed there by leaping across dimensional walls.
