Chapter 211: The Underworld Dragon and Goddess
Main character's POV
With a happy face, Ishtas-sama disappeared.
Even I, who knows the world is mostly monotheistic, have no intention of opposing the goddess.
However, why does it seem like the goddess is surprisingly disappointing?
But I think there is more to this story.
A common sense person? Would a rational being like Bauer-sama, even as a rational dragon, allow such an unfair tale?
I'm sure there must be something else going on.
As proof, Ishtas-sama is still around.
I have to think... there must be something going on.
"Good for you, Yellow Dragon Ceres...the problem is now solved..." Bauer-sama congratulates me.
Has anything good happened in this story so far?
I don't know.
"Did something get resolved?" I asked.
"Yes...rejoice, Ceres," replied Bauer-sama, "this is where your biggest dream comes true."
"My dream?" I asked, surprised.
"I told you before," Bauer-sama said, "it's about your wife's lifespan." The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
◆◆Flashback◆◆
'Maybe I will still love everyone even 500 years from now,' I said.
'Ceres...I'm telling you, they probably won't love you 500 years from now,' Bauer-sama replied.
That's not true...I'm sure everyone will still love me.
'That's not true...it's absolutely not true,' I said.
And then I was returned to the world once again.

Goddess Ishtas's POV
I was always alone.
I've been alone for a terrible long time.
But after waiting 500 years, my beloved husband finally appeared by my side.
I was so happy.
So, using my godly powers, I always kept an eye on Ceres.
No matter how much I watched him, I never grew tired of it.
And as a long-time bachelor, I've done some radical things that make me blush...
I've even made sexy lingerie and bathrooms in anticipation of 500 years from now.
But it feels empty.
I still have to wait 500 years...
And I know Ceres really loves those children.
I don't know if Ceres will be able to smile when he loses them.
He may become sad and lose that gentle smile he always has.
I thought about it a lot, and their relationship... seems so enjoyable.
So instead of taking Ceres for myself, I should try to become a part of their circle....
My divine world would surely become much livelier... but it's definitely better than being alone.
But... Bauer really is a tricky racoon.
He probably knows my true intentions, but he's still acting like didn't know anything.
Dragons are truly difficult to understand.
