Hero's Mother After – Chapter 148 Mel Side - The Goddess And The Human
About Serena-kun, is it alright to leave it as Hera-san?
Well, they are both gods, so it's fine, right?
It's okay to leave it until Hera-san decides on a specific plan.
Then, it's more likely to be Zect and the others first.
Putting everything on them and just enjoying life in the underworld by themselves...
Especially Lida and Maria, I absolutely cannot forgive them.
Pushing all the work onto others—I'll punch them with my goddess power.
It's always like this, isn't it?
Leaving the hard stuff for me... Ah, I'm really angry.
The magic bird, a phoenix-like familiar I got from Hera-san, was amazing. It quickly found the entrance to the underworld.
It rushed in like it was attacking!
But I was surprised~
There are many underworld entrances nearby.
But it seems no one could pass through them.
Even with a sage's brain and knowledge, I couldn't figure it out.
The wisdom that humans couldn't reach even after hundreds of years—gods really are unpredictable.
Thinking about it, Serena-kun was smiling and joking about "going to the underworld." Now I get it.
Yeah, unless it's nearby, it's hard to go there often.
Now that I'm in the underworld, where should I go?
Well, thinking about it, this is a huge world, so it's tricky.
"Mel!"
Huh? Who's that?
"Gyaa──"
A giant dragon──
"Don't be shocked! We've met many times, haven't we?"
"Ah, Bauer-sama! What are you doing here?"
"I felt a familiar presence, so I came, and here you are... and to think you came to the underworld as a human... Oh, Mel, you've become a goddess?"
"Yes! I'm a goddess now! That's why I came to see Zect and the others!"
"Meeting them is fine, but Mel... are you happy about becoming a goddess?"
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Does being a goddess cause any problems?"
"You didn't know! You're immortal! You can no longer be part of the reincarnation cycle!"
"What do you mean?"
"Listen carefully. Your friends Zect, Maria, and Lida are human. Soon, they'll join the reincarnation cycle, lose their memories, and start new lives as different people. But souls alike will be drawn to each other and born close by. If it were the old Mel, you'd live long lives, but still as humans. After many reincarnations, you might have met again and lived together. But as gods, you'll never die, so your paths will never cross again."
"It doesn't matter if our paths don't cross. I can just go see them, right?"
"That's not possible! You're a goddess, a manager. Zect and the others, once reincarnated, will have no memories. When they see you, they'll only see you as 'the goddess.' For example, if Goddess Ishtas appeared today and said, 'I was your wife,' people would just kneel before her. No romance would happen, even if it were true."
"That's...!"
"A romance between a god and a human usually can't happen. Ceres and Ishtas were together because Ceres became a dragon lord, greater than a god. Mel, as a sage, you should know this... have you heard of anyone else, besides Ceres, marrying Goddess Ishtas?"
"No... I haven't..."
"Indeed... Mel, I hate to say it, but your lives with Zect and the others will never intersect again. However, they can stay in the underworld for nearly 50 more years. Those 50 years will be your last time with Zect. Make sure you spend it without regrets."
"I see..."
"Yeah, so go meet Zect! As a goddess, I'll give you some of my power! Here it is... and from now on, you can go anywhere in the underworld if you wish. Though it's short from a god's view, spend it freely... farewell."
With those words, Bauer-sama disappeared.
"How cruel..."
