Chapter 38: Chapter 37 divine intervention

Well, that was a surprise. We saw a brilliant flash all around us, and then we were back home.

My home, that is, the palace. In the throne room. Me and Kenji, holding hands, kneeling in front of each other. 

 

My parents and mother Ima are standing next to us, and my father is sitting on the throne. 

Oh boy. Both our faces are about to explode out of embarrassment. 

 

"What happened?" a surprised Kenji says.

 

Mother Ima then says "oops. bad timing I see. Sorry kids, something came up. Would you, eh, would you please stand up. It is difficult to talk like this. You can try that again later tonight." 

 

"Ah ah." Kenji and I both blushed and stood up. Kenji remains at my side, holding my hand, awwww.

 

All my parents are smiling, especially mother Miyako. She has a sparkle in her eyes, a grin you would never hope to see in your life and she looks like she is about to go "awwwwww" but manages to remain silent. Until she notices my dress. "Eh, Greya dear, what on Mirai are you wearing?"

 

"Ah ha ha, it was raining when I arrived, and all my spare clothes were soaked as well, so I borrowed some clothes...please help me to return them, mother" I said.

 

She nods, but is still focused on my dress.

 

Ima then continues "and would you stop the handholding for a minute?"

 

"Yes mom." I say.

 

We both let go, staring at the floor.

 

"Oh for the love of.....Greya sweetie, we need your focus here for a minute." Ima said. Yes, my blush could be seen all the way from here to Acria, I am sure of it.

 

"Good good. Sorry again to abduct you so rudely. You are Kenji I presume?" Ima asks.

 

"Eh, yes mam. I am. Could you please explain..."

 

And Ima interrupts my Kenji again "now is not the time for that, dear. I need to talk to Greya. Something happened relating to her goddess duties. You are allowed to listen, but please keep quiet."

 

Kenji only nods in agreement, then he realises I said mom to her and to the queen... 

 

"Sorry, but she just called you mother. Are you..."  Kenji prepared for the worst.

"Yes dear, I am goddess Ima, now be quiet."

 

Kenji then kneels, then making his forehead touch the ground, our deepest bow of respect.

 

Kenji then says "I apologise for my disrespect oh goddess. And your majesties, my respect to you as well."

 

Mother Ima then shakes her head "really? I am trying to tell her something. Now stand up and listen. 

If you need to do some kneeling, then kneel before her." She points at me. "But not now," she quickly adds with a grin.

 

Kenji and I exchange glances, then we both blush again. I doubt people can see the difference, our faces were already red from all the prior blushing.

 

Mother Miyako then feels she must interrupt Ima. "Aww, seems I was right, you really do have feelings for each other."

 

My father then says, "now, now dear, just let them be. Kenji was your name, right? You don't understand any of this, do you?"

 

Kenji nods, then shakes his head, "no my king, indeed I am only human after all."

 

All of us look at Kenji, but Ima says "you are what? where did you hear that?"

 

I look innocently away from Ima, until she says "ah, I see. Just don't use that expression again." 

Kenji nods, while Ima continues "now can somebody please tell me what is going on here? I am trying to tell her something. Do you need a break or something?" I think she really is angry now. 

 

I then said on behalf of the others "sorry, don't be angry, mommy."

 

"Ah, Greya, don't you mommy me, young lady. Now for the last time, listen to me!"

 

All of us bowed deeply, and didn't make a sound.

 

"Good, good, finally. I thought you were mocking me. Now Greya, focus on me for a minute and hear the latest news. 

 

The deities of Mirai have followed your progress with great interest. You performed above and beyond my wildest hopes. This is why I chose you as my daughter. I knew you could do it, you showed diplomacy and respect. You never used your divine powers to force people into submission. Your way out of this mess has piqued the interest of all the deities of Mirai.

 

They invite you, no that is not the right word, they summon you to come to the godly realm as soon as possible, that is why I am so angry that you people wasted our time. This cannot be taken lightly. Greya, prepare to come with me, we cannot delay this. Ah, but maybe you want to get another dress. No, nevermind, we have to go now."  

I glanced at Kenji, nodded to him and my parents, and then we were gone in a flash.
