{I guess I can see that, though your blessing would certainly help him as a Warden.} Elrinira stated before, visibly sighing as she added. {Unlike mine.}

{Don’t be so sure.} Astraea said reassuringly. {The Goddess of Creation, Tijuana, hinted that his Warden class could be influenced by blessings he receives from gods.}

{Seriously? That’s never happened before, right?} Elrinira asked in surprise.

{No, but then again, neither has the Goddess of Creation personally chosen a Warden. This isn’t the normal way they are chosen, after all.}

{That’s true, though I still don’t see why he would appreciate my blessing, perhaps if he were a normal perverted male.}

{Should I ask him for you?} Astraea asked with a wink.

{Why?} Elrinira asked suspiciously. {Why would you help me in this?}

{To gain a favour from you. But you need not worry; I swear on the Goddess of Creation, Tijuana, that this favour would not force you to go against your principles.} Astraea replied.

{If you're willing to go so far as to risk Tijuana wiping you from existence, then you must really want this favour.} Elrinira said in surprise.

{Not really, I’m just hedging my bets.} Astraea replied while giving a small shrug.

Elrinira thought for a moment as she gazed at John before nodding and saying, {Alright then, but only if he accepts.}

{Then we have a deal.} Astraea replied before glancing at John and sending her thoughts into his mind. {Vincarna, can you hear me? Don’t speak if you can just turn to me and nod.}

John jumped slightly as he suddenly heard the voice inside his head and began to glance around before realising that it was Astraea’s voice, and so turned to look at her in amazement and nod.

It was lucky that the other six kings of the underworld were still involved in their own discussion and missed the reactions of the three.

Astraea smiled before saying telepathically, {I have a proposition for you on behalf of Elrinira; she wishes to offer you her blessing for the help you have given her in saving her sister; however, she is concerned that you would not like her blessing, and as such I have offered to speak with you about it.}

John showed a confused expression that made Astraea’s smile grow before she said, {How about I just show you the blessing on offer?}

As she finished speaking, she waved her hand slightly, causing a notification window to appear before John.

[The goddess Astraea has used her powers to show you what goddess Elrinira’s Blessing entails.]

[Elrinira’s Blessing: Known as the queen of all succuba and also the supreme demon of seduction, Elrinira’s blessing revolves around influencing the opposite sex and gaining power through physical interaction with them. But be warned: though powerful, as a demon goddess, Elrinira’s blessing naturally comes with a cost.]

[Skill: Life Force Theft]

John’s eyes opened wide, and his mouth fell open as he read the blessing notification before he quickly shook his head, causing Astraea’s eyebrow to rise in surprise while Elrinira showed a disappointed look.

{You don’t want her blessing?} Astraea asked in surprise.

John opened his mouth to reply, then thought better of it since it was obvious Astraea was communicating with him telepathically to keep this a secret from the other gods for some reason. So in the end he just sighed, after which he made a slight shake of his head before slowly breaking eye contact.

{You mean not right now?} Astraea asked in confirmation, to which John nodded.

{I understand.} Astraea replied before looking towards Elrinira again and saying telepathically. {I don’t think he’s totally opposed to the idea, but there is obviously something that he doesn’t like about your blessing. I suggest we continue this talk in private later.}

{Oh God, he had me worried for a second there; I thought he had straight up refused my blessing.} Elrinira said with a sigh, just as Ereshkigal frowned and asked. “What are you two secretly discussing?”

“What do you mean?” Elrinira asked innocently.

“Don’t give me that; I’ve been watching your reactions for the last few seconds,” Ereshkigal said accusingly. “I know you two were discussing something in secret.”

“And what if we were?” Elrinira retorted. “If it concerned you, we would have already told you.”

“Enough,” King Yamma replied before turning to John and saying, “Young Vincarna, make your decision. Will you become a Warden or not?”

“I accept,” John replied.
