Walking down the market, I observed Zero talking with a waitress, rizzing her up as she blushed while serving the meat in front of him. Despite having messy hair and plain clothes, his face and complexion was pretty far above the models back in my old world.
In most other novels, he might as well be the protagonist of the story. Too sad this game/world was so absurd that even he seemed like a side character.
He then slowly turned to me with a narrowed look, but his gaze turned warm as he noticed my presence. He even smiled and waved at me, while I waved back before I continued walking through the seat.
“Sir Neptune! Good morning. Didn’t think I would end up meeting you on my way to market,” the Saintess of Water, Everice, smiled as she walked towards me. Her eyes filled with warmth, she observed my face cheerfully.
And the guard behind her, looked at me with an even more enthusiastic look,” Sir Neptune. Are you not going to come to the bar again? I was waiting for you to have another match.”
He laughed showing his white teeth while I smiled as I answered,” I will do it after I am done with my work here. Don’t worry, it should take a few more days. Though on that note, I am in a bit of a hurry.”
I made an apologetic expression, while they stepped aside hurriedly and spoke,”oh sorry. But please meet us tonight. We wanted to continue our conversation from 2 days ago. We found another rumor regarding the Goddess of Water.”
“All right. See you at night then,” I smiled and began walking before they too did the same.
“Sir Neptune. Thank you again for helping me with that broken cart,” one of the traders that I had helped a few days ago, waved as he was preparing for another trade.
“Sir Neptune. Good Morning. Would you like to have some blue lilies?” An aged lady, selling flowers on a stall, spoke with a warm smile as I chuckled before giving a bunch of copper coins and taking the blue lilies.
“Thank you,” she answered, before I continued walking through the streets.
“Good Morning, Sir Neptune.”
“Thank you again Sir Neptune.”
“Would you like to have some bread Sir Neptune?”
“Sir Neptune. Thank you for helping my mother again!”
The more I walked, the more people began bowing to me. Smiling at me, thanking me for everything that I did. From helping them in small tasks, to the clinic where the free treatment was going on. There were all sorts of people thanking me for all sorts of things.
“Ah! Sir Neptune. Always good to see that a kind human like you exists as well.”
A group of angels walked towards me, praising me with a kind smile before they also went on their way. I just returned their smile, before I finally reached the Clinic.
“It’s Sir Neptune!”
“Sir Neptune is here!”
“Sir Neptune?”
“He is finally here!”
And as I reached back to my Clinic which I started two weeks ago, my eyes observed the long line of people being treated by angels, peoples, and even the Higher Gods. While I didn’t visit this clinic, I was still active around the city. Hence by now, everyone in the city knew me.
“So you are the kid, huh?” And the voice of a golden haired kid came as he walked out of the clinic with his hands covered in a bit of blood. Wiping it clean with a cloth, he came closer to me, observing me from top to bottom.
“Don’t scare him, Helios. Hey, Mr Saint Neptune. Is it all right, if I call you that? I am Castellina by the way,” another of the Gods appeared in front of me, her eyes covered with a blindfold felt like they were gazing at my entire existence.
I could only gulp in his presence as I saw her beauty far more enchanting than anything I have seen before. Even Alepsia and Valencia, who seemed like perfect existences before, now looked rather pale in front of Castellina.
‘Should I max my charm again? Hmmm. Let’s wait till I begin the conversation. I am surely gonna need the skill there,’ I thought before controlling my thoughts with my will power alone.
“Told you he is the same kid who was observing us before in the market,” and finally the third of the three Highed Gods appeared behind me, as he ate an apple. His eyes filled with strange colors, he gazed me before smiling and speaking,
“I knew something was odd about you. I can’t see through your soul at all.”
The three Gods began gauging me over and over, their interest peaking as moments passed. While I just stood there like a zoo animal, making a wry expression at their behavior.
“Boss!”
And saving me from this awkward exchange was an Angel (literally). Harik stood there, observing the whole situation as he called me out and continued,
“Ummm. Would it be all right if you come inside the clinic? You are creating quite a commotion here.”
Looking at the crowd that was growing for some reason, I nodded before looking at the three Gods and saying,” shall we continue our conversation inside the clinic?”
After pausing for a moment, those three nodded as even some of the angels and minor gods were listening to our conversation.
‘I would need to restart again after this,’ I sighed as I knew that attracting the attention of so many Angels and Minor Gods was worse than the Higher Gods.
The Higher Gods will not bother with what I do, might even enjoy watching my shenanigans. They aren’t the type to interfere with what happens in the mortal realm, even most of the heaven realm, unless it directly affects them. Though that can’t be said about the Angels and the Minor Gods.
‘It’s gonna be a pain but a man gotta do what a man gotta do,’ I sighed as the excitement of the knowledge I got from Luciana made me forget about this aspect.
Well. Whatever.
All of us entered the clinic, before the three Gods and I sat on a 4 chaired round table. And looking at them sitting comfortably, I started my conversation with the biggest nuke I can throw at them.
“I have a message from Luciana Wiregia.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
