Free Web NovelChapter 484: Chapter 76 - Magic Lesson From My Goddess
The special tent that served as the female knights’ bathroom suddenly became crowded. It was so crowded that I keep cast a low-intensity Fireball spell and focused on heating cold water in another wooden tub. I did all this to meet the warm water needs of the women who entered the bathroom tent.
Besides my twin sisters, there are Sia and Madam Estelle who entered the bathroom tent to bathe together. The tub I used for soaking was large enough to accommodate four people, but that would have been cramped and a waste a lot of warm water.
There were still a few tubs available for soaking, but with so many women in the bathing tent, it would be a fight for the hot tub.
Six women in the bathing tent...
Sharing a wooden tub...
I hoped nothing would turn tonight’s bath into a minor mess...
[ Fufu~ have something else on my mind, Lily-chan? ]
In my empty head and my body that was soaking in warm water, the voice of my Goddess was heard along with a bad feeling that vibrated the fine hairs on the nape of my neck.
The warm water that felt warm suddenly felt cold after the voice of my Goddess was heard in my head.
[ No need to dramatize the situation, Lily-chan. ]
[ You know... I don’t always bring bad news that keeps you on edge, right? ]
[ Please don’t think that your Goddess will always be a bother to you, Lily-chan. ]
I just smiled a little and sighed softly.
The words of my Goddess felt funny and true; my Goddess didn’t always cause problems when talking to me.
It’s just that... she often asks me to do strange things with other women and it make me some trouble. Which will give rise to suspicion and jealousy from every woman who has performed the Linked Ritual with me.
"I’m sorry, my Goddess, I didn’t mean it like that," I said in a low voice and lowered my body so that my mouth was level with the surface of the warm water.
Blluuupp...
Blluuupp...
Some water bubbles that came from my words with my Goddess floated on the surface of the warm water and broke apart, like a little girl playing with water while bathing.
[ I can’t help to make Lily-chan thinks me like that... ]
[ Because I always force Lily-chan to do something related to fair love and affection towards girls, teehee~ ]
Of all the reasonable answers I’d hoped to hear from my Goddess, I received one answers filled with humility and honesty. She did not attempt to deny it, but instead admitted to ordering me to do strange things with girls.
I don’t mind that order, though...
Even if it resulting a jealousy that leads to obsessive and possessive behavior, it’s far better than being hated by the girls who’ve performed the Linked Ritual with me.
"You admitted it yourself, my Goddess..."
"So it’s not my fault if I think you’re like that..."
Bluuuupp...
Bluupp...
[ Yes, I acknowledge that and am grateful that my beloved Saintess obeyed my orders. Even to seeing me... weird like that. ]
[ As reward for Lily-chan’s obedience, allow me to teach you a space-time manipulation technique bestowed upon you by the Goddess of Nature. ]
My head suddenly felt quiet, and my ears throbbed when my Goddess said that.
Twiittcchh...
Twwiittcchh...
I didn’t hear it wrong, right?
Will my goddess teach me something interesting like that?
A magic technique that the Great Heroes of the past wanted to learn?
Even the three Great Heroes of the past said that it was a magic technique that was difficult to control with human magic capacity.
And my Goddess said she would teach me that magic technique?
[ Uhm, Lily-chan... ]
[ I know that my kindness to teach magic techniques sounds strange... however, please don’t doubt this good intention with such doubts. ]
[ It feels a bit strange that my beloved Saintess is doubtful of her Goddess... ]
"I have no doubts about my Goddess..."
"Just surprised..." I muttered while enjoying the warm water that covered my whole body, peeling away my tiredness.
[ Hmm... surprised by the good intentions of your Goddess herself? ]
[ It hurts my sensitive heart, though... but since it sounds like something a tsundere girl would say, I’ll gladly accept my Saintess’ doubts. ]
"What a strange Goddess..." I muttered without saying the words clearly to my Goddess.
While waiting for my twin sister, Sia, and Madam Estelle, who were cleaning themselves with Mio’s help, I would fill this free and relaxing time by listening to my Goddess’s teachings.
Magic techniques capable of manipulating space and time sounded interesting to learn after seeing their uses with my own eyes. Even a cramped underground chamber could feel spacious and comfortable with a beautiful view of a waterfall, just like the underground room inhabited by the Elven Elder.
The Goddess of Nature has shown me amazing techniques for manipulating space and time, even granting me the blessing of manipulating space and time. However, due to my limited time and my own busy schedule, I haven’t had the chance to fully grasp the magical techniques that manipulate space and time.
No, that’s not it...
From the start, I didn’t understand how the magic technique worked and didn’t dare to cast that magic.
[ Fufufu~ Luckily, I came at the right time, Lily-chan... ]
[ Magical techniques that can manipulate space and time do not require long chanting. All that is needed to activate the magic technique of manipulating space and time is... Perspective that can change the way you see things. ]
Tsk tsk...
Tsk tsk...
Just saying those complicated words made my head spin. My Goddess’s explanations were always complicated, making it hard for me to understand.
How do I change my perspective when looking at something?
That feels weird and impossible to do, doesn’t it?
It’s no wonder the Great Heroes of the past struggled to learn the magical techniques of manipulating space and time. It turns out to be this complex.
[ Trust me, Lily-chan... ]
[ It’s not that complicated, and the Goddess of Nature has given a blessing that allows Lily-chan to manipulate space and time. ]
[ Without the blessing of the Goddess of Nature, changing space and time would never happen. ]
Somehow, I actually got an answer to the reason why the Great Heroes were unable to learn magic techniques that could manipulate space and time.
If that’s the case, then this magic technique can only be performed by me?
"E-Eehhh..." I mumbled and glanced at my twin sisters, who were scrubbing their naked bodies with soap bubbles.
"That would be a huge turn off for Alice and Alyssa..."
[ Take it easy, Lily-chan. ]
[ I’ve already arranged something about that. ]
[ Your Goddess isn’t just sitting around, you know... ]
[ I’ve already made some arrangements with the Goddess of Nature and the Goddess of Sky... regarding something related to Lily-chan’s Yurification System blessing! ]
My Goddess sounds excited in my head...
Somehow, that sounds suspicious...
Should I entrust this to my Goddess?
That’s all I can do right now, right?
Bluuppp...
Bluuppp...
My body, immersed in the warm water, began to rise, and I leaned my bare back against the edge of the wooden tub. The remaining warm water that had pooled on my breasts trickled down, and the chill of the night began to creep up on my shoulders, which were not submerged in the warm water.
Pyyuurr...
Pyyuurr...
By sitting quietly on the edge of the wooden bathtub, I began to clear my mind of complicated thoughts and focus on the lessons my Goddess was giving me. Even with the sound of laughter from the girls beside me, who cleansing themselves before soaking in the warm wooden tub, I was ready to receive my Goddess’s magic lessons.
"Let’s begin, my Goddess..." I said to my Goddess in a low and serious tone.
[ Oh, are you starting to get serious about the magic lessons you’re about to receive, Lily-chan? ]
[ This lesson is quite easy, you just need to change your perspective to see things... imagination is an important keyword in manipulating space and time, Lily-chan. ]
"It’s easy to say but hard to do..."
[ That’s not true, you just have to ’deny’... what’s in front of you and believe it’s something else. ]
[ I think I need to show you a simple example to spark your imaginative thinking, Lily-chan. ]
[ Let’s say Lily-chan, who is soaking in this wooden bathtub filled with warm water... wants to share the same warm water with other girls. ]
[ Lily-chan definitely wants to be fair enough to be able to bathe with Mio, Alice, Alyssa, Sia, and Madam Estelle, right? ]
[ One wooden bathtub won’t be enough to accommodate all the girls who want to soak in warm water with Lily-chan? ]
[ What does Lily-chan have to do to make this wooden hot tub accommodate all the women in this bathroom tent? ]
Suddenly, I got a question from my Goddess about something impossible to happen.
This warm wooden bathtub won’t fit all the women in this bathroom tent.
"That is impossible, my Goddess..."
"Unless this wooden hot tub is big," I replied with a small sigh.
Piinngg!!
For some reason, my head was suddenly filled with images of this enlarged bathroom tent and a wooden bathtub that looked like a hot spring pool, like the one in my family’s Main Mansion.
"O-Ohh... Hooooo!! I understand it now," I let out a small squeal and realized what my Goddess meant.
[ Yes, Lily-chan... ]
[ That’s the right answer... ]
