The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 126

"Suddenly...?"

Her determined gaze left me at a loss for words.

"I told you we were going to the temple of Abne, right? Let me join you."

Her confidence was almost absurd, as if it were her rightful claim.

"Why...? It's none of your business, is it?"

Frankly, her accompanying us seemed like it would only complicate things further. Given her past actions, it was natural to feel uneasy. Mir and Abne had once been in major conflict, and the fact that the temple had nearly collapsed during their last encounter did not bode well for her joining us now. Knowing well that they weren't on good terms, I couldn't understand why she insisted on coming along.

"It is my business... The mere fact that you're going to that temple is reason enough."

What could be her reason for this insistence? It was incomprehensible.

"Remember last time? We almost got into serious trouble with that goddess. I sense something suspicious again, a kind of greedy desire..."

Yura trembled at these words, not me. Her reactions and demeanor had been off and suspicious from the moment Mir spoke.

"I can tell... It's my specialty, after all. Though not perfect, having seen so much darkness, I can sense even the slightest malintent."

Her eyes then widened, the ruby-red irises deepening, as if she was channeling some inner brilliance, reminiscent of a detective awakening her keen senses. Her gaze, sharp and clear, was directed squarely at my sister.

"You... are you up to something? Are you just tagging along to flirt, trying to take our brother into the temple?"

Her sharp remark left Yura looking utterly confused, her face betraying a sense of panic so intense it almost seemed like she was breaking into a cold sweat.

"Yura...?"

Initially, I had my doubts about Mir, but her plausible explanation now made me view my sister with suspicion. "Yura...?"

Even after calling her, she just maintained her silence, almost as if a culprit refusing to admit guilt, unwilling to even meet my eyes.

"Really, was there some ulterior motive for wanting to go to the temple?"

I had trusted my sister, but her lack of defense and continued silence only fueled my suspicions.

"Haah..."

However, countering my thoughts, Yura's next reaction was a sigh mixed with frustration.

"How could that be? What benefit would I have in handing you over to the goddess Abne? My reason for going there is simple – I just wanted to express my gratitude for the information she provided last time."

Her demeanor was starkly different from before, genuinely aggrieved and incredulous at the suspicion cast upon her.

"The reason I wanted to go with you... I'm still not familiar with the way, and I didn't want to get lost."

Her explanation didn't seem odd, turning the situation back into a mystery. Another factor in her favor was her confidence.

"If you really want to accompany us, that's fine, but you must take responsibility for any discord that arises, okay?"

As I pondered this, her earlier suspicious behavior became even more baffling and confusing.

Still looking at her suspiciously, Yura's confidence slightly distorted my expression.
