"That, something called a date… I want to try it with Moran. Although, I am a mother, is that okay?"
Tiamat's eyes seemed to be wet.
A blush also rose on her cheeks.
It was a shy look that was different from her noble temperament, not only did it not seem abrupt, but it only made people feel cute.
Her gaze seemed cautious.
[In the past, when she was with you, she was very close and didn't realize the concept of dating at all]
[Until, you told her about these things not long ago]
[Tiamat had a preliminary awareness]
[However, the first thing Tiamat thought of was not to stop, but to think about how to be as natural as before]
[Obviously, when she realized the concept of dating]
[She couldn't pretend to be indifferent anymore]
"Hah—!?"
Ereshkigal was struck by lightning.
She knew that Tiamat and Moran were very close, but she never expected that the Primordial Mother would be her opponent.
It wasn't just Ereshkigal who was surprised.
Even Moran was a little stunned.
He really didn't expect Tiamat to invite him personally, this feeling of surprise was simply too much.
"No, is it not okay!?"
Tiamat showed a sad expression.
She was very afraid of being rejected.
Especially in the state of being the Mother of Creation, she doted on children more than her younger self.
"I didn't say it's not okay. Tiamat, even if you don't say it, I think this should be no different from our previous participation in the celebration." Moran said helplessly.
"No, it's different. I feel warm here in my chest, Mommy is so happy. I want to be closer to you."
Tiamat's sadness dissipated.
She naturally squeezed next to Moran and hugged his arm, transmitting the warmth and softness of her chest at zero distance.
Looking at the happy smile on her face.
Moran also felt joy.
"No, no! I was the one who came to Moran's side first, Mother, you're going too far!?"
"Hmm, that's not good. So, Ereshkigal, you come too, let's go on a date together."
"Ah? M-me, this…"
Ereshkigal was too shy to speak.
This was her original plan.
Unexpectedly, it would be realized in this way, and Tiamat even said it along with her.
Without giving Ereshkigal time to hesitate.
Tiamat smiled gently.
Instead, she took the initiative to take Ereshkigal's hand and placed it on Moran's left side.
The goddess of the underworld on the left hand, and the mother of creation on the right hand.
This is a scene of immense importance.
Any Sumerian god who witnessed this would have to bow down to these two.
"Hehe…"
Moran smiled faintly, looking at Ereshkigal with amusement.
"D-don't laugh at me! It's all Tiamat's fault, she made me like this!
But, I'm also aware of my role as a partner, Moran, you should want to go on a date with me too, right? Although I have no experience at all, and I don't know how to spend a festival… Ugh, isn't this terrible?"
Ereshkigal became slightly nervous.
She came to the human world using the vessel created by Moran and is unfamiliar with many things in the human world.
In the past, she was always worshiped as a god.
She has never participated in a festival as a human.
"Don't worry, if you haven't experienced it, then I will guide you step by step, I won't let you get bored."
Moran's words were like a reassurance.
Calming Ereshkigal's emotions.
She stared at Moran's face, stunned for a few seconds, captivated by his handsome features.
Her heart couldn't help but feel that he was too handsome.
A maiden's heart was throbbing.
[You participate in the festival with two women]
[Tasting delicious food, dancing, and watching martial arts competitions]
[Everything in the human world is more interesting than Ereshkigal imagined, she had only heard about it secondhand before]
[When personally participating in it]
[She also became immersed in it]
[Of course, in Uruk, you saw more than just these things, you also saw how couples express their love]
[Like the indescribable sounds coming from the alleys and brothels]
[You and the two women couldn't possibly not hear them]
[Like the passionate intertwining of water and fire, it was so exciting, and Uruk was filled with this atmosphere]
[Being in it, you were naturally infected by it]
"Moran. magical power, I want it."
Tiamat said it directly.
Her hands were on Moran's shoulders, her eyes only on him.
"T-this… Uruk… as expected, that woman of world-class disaster's city… is no good! My Underworld is better!"
Ereshkigal's face turned red.
Her mind was disturbed, and she was restless.
Although she had the dignity of a goddess.
However, she was completely feigning reluctance.
"Well, this is a part of coming to Uruk that you have to experience, but it's really not good to do it here…"
Moran wasn't someone without emotional intelligence.
Now that the people around him were like this, he wasn't the kind of hypocrite who liked to pretend to be unmoved.
Eat the best meat, drink the best wine.
Love the most beautiful people.
This is one of the principles that Moran likes.
He used water mirror magecraft to teleport to his residence in the palace.
Without saying much, this night was going to be very long for Moran.
This was another beautiful day.
"Oh? I once went down to the Underworld, and as a result, I was dragged in front of you by the Gugalanna, stabbed and covered in wounds… Ereshkigal, you really have the nerve to come to my Uruk."
Ishtar stood on the temple of Uruk.
A hint of a cold smile appeared on her face.
The humiliation of her first defeat, which she was born with, was like a brand burned into her soul.
Even if she wanted to forget it, she couldn't.
Her soul would remember that pain.
"Now, I wasn't thinking of going to the Underworld, but you found a way to come to the human world. And, you boldly came to my Uruk like this, should I say you're audacious, or are you looking down on me?"
Ishtar's eyes seemed to burn with resentment.
That's right, she couldn't forget that humiliation.
Even if she had been killed by Ereshkigal once before, she still had no regrets.
