Chapter 924 A Decision

-----

This is one crazy of a question! What do I even answer to her?! Do I let her go or do I just tell her to stay with me?

In one case, I selfishly want her to stay with me, and I also know that deep down, she might also want to hear that from me.

But in the other case…

Strength.

It is something we all need in a world like this, especially those like us, marked with the divine protection of the gods, forced to become the prey and targets of their enemies.

We become pawns for their wars, wars they don't want to do themselves, so they leave fragile mortals do it for them instead.

And when we die, they simply retrieve back the power they gave to us, repeating the cycle again as they give their powers to someone else in the future.

An endless cycle of the World fighting against the Gods.

The World creates their Demon King to fight the Gods, and the Gods create their Heroes to fight the World, both representants of these two factions fight to the death.

There is never a really clear winner, because even when heroes and demon kings die, little changes around the world… Even as the Demon King was slain, his disciples constantly come back, threatening our lives.

"Sylphyyyy… Sniff… Buwaaah! What did I do to deserve such a cute girlfriend?!" She started crying on my shoulders again. "I'm sorry… I will try to do better!"

"Geez, you're such a crybaby today… There, there." I sighed, comforting my crybaby girlfriend. "Once you're finally back, two years will have pass, and the two of us could have changed a lot but… I know that it will be for the best. You will be much stronger, like your mom, and I too will be super strong! We'll be the strongest pair ever!"

"Ever!" Aquarina smiled, her smile filled with sorrow and happiness made my heart beat faster, as I embraced her in a hug, and then gave her a little kiss in her lips.

Once we were done with this, we walked back with everyone else, and we explained a few of the things we talked about, everyone finally understood, although with mixed reactions.

And when we were back to Auntie Aina's manor, Aquarina and Nepheline had to apologize a lot with everyone… And Ninhursag also apologized with me, saying she shouldn't had said those things.

"I'm sorry, Sylphy. I guess… I am not too accustomed to these things myself. I guess… sometimes its fine to step in, sometimes… people do need the help of someone else." Ninhursag sighed.

"It's fine, really." I smiled. "I know you said it because you were also worried deep down. Nepheline is your friend and all after all."

"Yeah…" Ninhursag sighed. "I'll have to reprimand her for this too, she should have told me about this to begin with! Hey, come here!"

"Eeep!" Nepheline quickly recoiled as she saw her friend walk towards her, about to reprimand her for her recklessness and lack of trust to not tell one of her best friends something like this.

My mom was also there, the two began to quickly reprimand Nepheline, as the Amazoness lowered her head, accepting it all.

"I'm so sorry…" She cried.

This might be the first and last time I ever see my strong mother-in-law in such a state…
