"I truly welcome you back, Harold. With your return, time in my world starts flowing again."
As morning dawned, her words, laden with various meanings, made my face burn with embarrassment.
"Goddess... please stop teasing me..."
The previous night, unable to control my emotions, I had gone too far.
Waves of guilt and shame overwhelmed me.
She looked at me, wide-eyed and seemingly innocent, as if unaware of the problem.
"Is there a problem? I was just expressing my happiness at your return."
How could she ask such an innocent question... I was mortified, recalling last night's events.
"Ahaha ~ Are you reacting this way because you remember last night's events ~?"
Realizing what was on my mind, she wore a slightly wicked smile.
"Mmm... Last night was certainly wonderful, I'm glad I could reaffirm your feelings."
She closed her eyes, savoring the memory, her nodding head almost annoyingly playful.
"Ha-ha! Okay, I understand! I won't continue, why would I, as a woman who loves you, keep doing something that makes you uncomfortable? Sorry if I upset you."
Thankfully, she stopped teasing and lightened the mood.
Whoosh...!
"Goddess?"
Suddenly, she embraced me, burying her face in my chest.
"You might be embarrassed about last night... But I need to say this..."
The mood turned serious, and I too became more solemn.
"I'm truly happy you're back with me..."
I wondered what her expression was. The air felt much heavier compared to before.
"I'm so relieved... that you're back... I'm so happy, I can't even begin to express this feeling."
I looked at her silently, unintentionally inhaling the pleasant scent of her shampoo. "Umm... I got overly excited again, sorry about that..."
She quickly composed herself, blushing at her recent embrace.
Her averted gaze and awkward cough were quite telling, revealing that even a goddess feels emptiness and embarrassment after expressing true feelings, just like humans.
"It's okay."
I reassured her gently and then asked about the current situation.
"By the way, Goddess, what's happening with the academy now?"
She pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand, before updating me on the current situation.
"Right now, the academy is wrapping up issues related to the order. And... due to our commotion yesterday, the street near Morione's temple is in chaos."
The latter wasn't in the game, but the former was a line from it, signaling the end of the second episode of the main story's three-part arc.
The original game plot would have ended with preventing the resurrection of the ancient god, but now the storyline had significantly shifted due to the recent major events.
The past me, without the knowledge of the game, somehow managed to see it through to the end – quite a marvel.
Looking back, in moments of crisis, my memories of the game seemed to spark back to life...
