[The field is filled with an extremely tense atmosphere]
[So heavy that even the Garula spirits are constantly trembling]
[Because the source of this oppressive feeling is their Underworld Queen and the Primordial Mother of all things]
[Both of them are goddesses of the highest caliber]
[Absolutely not something that Garula spirits, who are merely evil spirits, can handle]
"Come, Moran, come back here. Come to Mommy. I won't let that bad girl abduct you!"
Tiamat seemed to ignore Ereshkigal.
She walked straight towards Moran.
She seemed to have no regard for the mistress of the Underworld, her eyes only on Moran.
"It's okay, don't worry about anything, because Mommy will hug you. Let's go back to the surface with Mommy! I won't let anyone take you away from me!"
"Tiamat, thank you for coming to save me…"
Moran first expressed his gratitude.
He could imagine how anxious Tiamat must have been when she woke up and found him gone.
So, Moran naturally understood her feelings.
But there were also things that needed to be clarified.
[You don't want Tiamat and Ereshkigal's relationship to become too strained. You believe that if they talk, they can still understand each other]
[The main reason Tiamat is like this now]
[Is mainly because she was searching for you for too long, so she got angry]
[The sadness and anger of losing her child overflowed in Tiamat's heart, and she insisted that the mastermind who made her endure this pain was Ereshkigal, even labeling her as a bad girl]
[Currently, Tiamat is in a very impulsive state]
[Completely like an anxious mother who is overly concerned about her child, this is also the first time you have seen her like this]
"Hmm? No need to thank me?"
Tiamat showed a happy smile.
She felt happy when Moran praised her.
However, being praised at this time.
it didn't seem right.
"But, I want to say that Ereshkigal is not a bad girl, and I wasn't abducted by her. Tiamat, I will be spending a lot of time with her in the future, and I will often be in the Underworld…"
Moran tried his best to explain clearly.
Thump thump thump——!!
The shock in her heart was like a thunderbolt.
In an instant, Tiamat was stunned by these words, the joyful smile on her face frozen like stone.
Tiamat not understanding asked: "W-Why…!?"
"Although Ereshkigal is a goddess who controls death and decay, and is regarded by the world as a cruel and ruthless mistress of the Underworld, I know that she is not such a goddess. So, I will be with her until the very end."
As Moran spoke, he grasped Ereshkigal's hand.
His tone was firm and sincere.
"M-Moran——Uwaaaah…!"
In an instant, Ereshkigal's face was burning hot, shy and bashful like a newlywed bride.
She didn't know where to put her face.
[At the same time, Ereshkigal's heart fluttered wildly from your words, as if her entire body had softened]
[At this moment, she only wanted to fall into your arms]
[No pure and beautiful girl can resist such sincere words]
[Absolutely not! Not easily!]
[What's more, she is facing the Primordial Mother]
[Ereshkigal, looking at you speaking up for her like this, felt a surge of emotion in her heart]
[Any woman would be moved when protected by a man like this]
[It would be strange if she wasn't]
[Ereshkigal felt a tingling sensation as if an electric current was running through her just by looking at your profile]
[Obviously, the goddess's heart has been pierced by you]
[Ereshkigal was very infatuated]
[Just as you were about to continue explaining to Tiamat, the concentration of magical energy in the surrounding atmosphere suddenly increased by a level]
[Suddenly—you realized that something bad was about to happen]
[However, Ereshkigal, who was intoxicated by your sincere words, had her nerves completely numbed]
"Well, that's how it is, Tiamat. It wasn't me who abducted Moran. Moran and I, this should be considered… mutual affec… no no no… it's, it's mutual love!"
Ereshkigal hurriedly changed her words in a flustered manner.
Her pretty face was so red that it seemed like it was about to drip blood.
"In any case, for the sake of your relationship with Moran, I can temporarily ignore the fact that you trespassed into the Underworld. Of course, you don't have to worry about Moran, this is my Underworld.
I will protect him well, no one can hurt him! Also, um, I, I will get along well with Moran!"
Ereshkigal showed a very positive attitude.
She thought that Tiamat was overly protective of Moran, so she started from the point of "protection."
Besides, the other party is the Mother of All Living Things.
She felt a bit embarrassed, like she was meeting the parents, and wanted to make a good impression as much as possible.
Ereshkigal thought that she had performed perfectly, and the mother would definitely approve of her being with Moran.
However, all of this had the opposite effect.
"…"
Tiamat was dumbfounded.
It was as if she had encountered the most unreasonable thing in the world.
Seeing Moran holding Ereshkigal's hand, for some reason, bitterness and pain welled up in her heart.
Simply put - my rebellious son has broken my heart.
"…Wuwu"
Tiamat's psychological defenses collapsed like a dam breaking.
Her petite body began to tremble.
Her nose was also twitching.
Her elfin ears drooped quite dejectedly, and tears streamed down from her eyes.
Just like - a bullied little girl.
"…Tiamat?"
Moran's ominous premonition grew stronger.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"…Wuaaaaaaaaaa—!"
A terrifying sea of magical power erupted with Tiamat as the center.
Its concentration was almost comparable to that of a hydrogen bomb.
A childish cry kept echoing in the underworld.
Some Garula spirits were directly shattered, and Ereshkigal immediately erected a defensive barrier with her authority.
Otherwise, Moran and she would be very embarrassed.
"Ha…!? What the hell is that! Mother! Why did she suddenly cry! What did I say wrong!"
Ereshkigal didn't understand at all.
She was thrown into confusion by Tiamat's reaction.
