Hero's Mother After – Chapter 149 Mel Side Reunion
"Haha, Zect, it's been a while! Maria and Lida too..."
"""Huh!?"""
"'Huh!?' isn't it! All three of you pushed everything onto me and disappeared. Look at how much trouble I've been through! I'm still struggling right now! I can't forgive this! My name is Mel, the only sage and goddess in this world... the one who wields destructive magic. Here it comes! Massive destructive explosion spell!"
The moment we met, I felt a sense of familiarity, but many unpleasant memories also flooded back.
I don't even need a staff to chant anymore—I'm a goddess now.
"Maria! We're in danger! Mel is angry! Stop her!"
"Zect, it's okay! I'm here with you! Holy Wall! Even with arms like Mammon's, none of her spells will work! Stop!"
"Mel, please stop! We're friends, right?"
"Mammon, what are you talking about? I'm the woman who defeated the war god Arks and grew even stronger! (Muttering, though it was a cowardly trick.) And Lida... true friends don't just dump their problems on others!"
"Fine, I'll try to counter it! Sorry, Mel. Wings of light!"
"Sorry, Mel! Zantetsu!"
Sorry, but that's not enough to stop my attack.
A massive magic circle appeared, and countless lights struck the three of them directly.
Crack! The Holy Wall shattered.
"Kyaaaa────!"
"It's okay! I didn't do anything painful... Instead, all three of you will feel embarrassed."
"Seriously~"
"We're in the underworld, and no one else is around, so don't mind it."
"W-what? What are you trying to do by stripping us?"
Well, it's not very tasteful. Still...
"After all! Blame it on the three of you for disappearing after dumping everything on me!"
"""Why?"""
None of them have reflected on what they did at all.
All three of them are frantically pulling clothes out of nowhere.
"So, why did you suddenly cast a massive destructive explosion spell!"
"That's my line! Leaving me behind and disappearing—it's awful..."
"Wait a moment, Mel. Is something terrible going to happen?"
"Maria, you're planning to be defensive..."
"No, that's not it... We were married by chance as a group of four close friends, but Mel, your true love is Ceres, isn't it?"
"No, Maria, I was a scumbag back then too, and I owe Mel an apology. I did touch you, Mel, but your true love is Ceres, isn't it? It's not me! I was a scumbag, and I deserve to be punched for what I did—taking you away from Ceres. I'm sorry. But your true love is Ceres, isn't it?"
"Uh..."
It's been so long, I can't even remember... Was it like that?
"Think back carefully! It was me and Maria who played with Zect when we were little! Who did you play with, Mel?"
"Ceres..."
"Right! And think about it! If Zect had stayed a villager, he would have married Maria, wouldn't he?"
"Yeah..."
"Yes, I would have married Zect, wouldn't I? Who had the highest chance of marrying Mel?"
"Ceres... probably."
"Right? When you think about it, it was only natural for us to leave Mel behind in that world, wasn't it?"
""Mmhm.""
"Yeah..."
"That's right. When we were in a party together, we were seen as 'lovers' by everyone, weren't we? And when we wanted Ceres to come back after kicking him out, didn't Mel say, 'Because we were lovers, I want to apologize and be forgiven. That's how I feel,' didn't she?"
"Lida, I do remember that... Yeah, I probably did love Ceres..."
Now that they mention it, maybe that's true...
"That's right, so it was the right thing to leave you behind, Mel!"
"That's right, it wasn't wrong."
"We weren't wrong, right!"
"Maybe?──Of course not! Are you growing maggots in your head in the underworld or something? Really! Sure, we were like that when we were young! Zect! You did your thing with Maria, Lida, and even Marin and Luna... and with me, right?"
"Huh!?"
Why are you looking so pale?
"What do you mean, 'Huh!?' I won't be fooled by some nostalgic stories from your youth."
"But, originally..."
"Well, for now, I'll give Maria a hundred steps of leeway. If you were villagers, the two of you would have gotten together. Yes, that's right, isn't it? But, Lida, how about you? If you were villagers, you didn't get together with Zect, did you? Moreover, no matter how you look at it, you were definitely closer with Ceres than Zect."
"I... I..."
"Well, fine. Since we met again, let's make up and get along from now on."
"Will you forgive us?"
"Yes."
"""Thank you."""
No, I don't want to feel lonely, so I'll 'never forgive them.'
