Chapter 512 14: Tamamo's Major Blunder and the Goddess's Half-Body

"Hair color is really just a trivial matter...""No, no, no, hair color that changes like this has no soul."

"Master, it's your words that lack soul. How can you dismiss my eagerness to become a virtuous wife just because of hair color..."

Hearing the faint sound of voices coming through, Ishtar immediately stood up from the gazebo, eagerly staring at the entrance. She'd come here earlier and, not finding Gu Mo, assumed he had gone to Uruk for negotiations. Thus, she was waiting here excitedly.

Unknowingly, the time had passed until the sun began to set, and he finally came back!

The Goddess's eyes suddenly became incredibly eager, filled with hope to see cart after cart of luxurious gemstones entering consecutively from the valley entrance and appearing one by one before her gaze... Just imagining that scene made her feel immensely happy.

Ah, such a scene would be the most wonderful one, she couldn't think of anything more beautiful in this world!

Gemstones, gemstones, gemstones...

The Goddess repeated, staring intently at the valley entrance.

"Sigh..."

Beside her, Akai Hinako still sat quietly, merely watching this overly lively and not dignified Goddess. She couldn't help but sigh. Although she wasn't too concerned about her current Servant since from the beginning, she only wanted to draw one SSR.

If she didn't draw that one, it would be meaningless; any other Servants made no difference to her.

But then again, how to face the upcoming test of this singularity was also something to think about, and the Goddess Servant's subtle behavior did worry her a bit; it's indeed unreliable, making it hard to believe she's a trustworthy Servant.

This Ishtar Goddess...

Would she have to charge me every time she goes out to battle?

That indeed seemed a real possibility. After all, this Goddess was so greedy, as long as there were gemstones, everything was negotiable. Without them, nothing was up for discussion... Akai Hinako suddenly felt a headache brewing, wondering if she had enough gemstones to offer.

"Eh? Why is there another Servant?"

At this moment, muttering to herself, Ishtar's gaze swept across the two walking into the valley entrance, landing precisely on the fox-eared girl.

Even though she herself was the manifestation of beauty and represented the Goddess of Beauty, she had to admit the Fox Elf girl's charm was exceptionally alluring, not at all losing to her own presence—though both were in the form of Servants, presumably diminishing their respective charms.

But due to the hosted person's perspective adjustment, the Goddess's cruel side had been modified, so she didn't hold the terrifying notion that only she could be the most beautiful. Additionally, she had more pressing concerns now, so she decisively shifted her gaze, staring eagerly behind the two.

Nothing...

Absolutely nothing...

The Goddess's expression slightly froze but quickly comforted herself.

Yes, that's right, this doesn't mean anything. If indeed it is cartloads of gemstones being transported from Uruk, the journey would be lengthy, as he set out at noon and couldn't possibly have returned by afternoon, so he must have hidden the gemstones in his sleeves!

That must be it!

On the other side, upon entering the valley, Tamamo no Mae also surveyed the environment. The scenery was beautiful, with clear mountains and waters, the chirping of birds and fragrance of flowers, all under the slanting rays of the setting sun. The gazebo and wooden cabin held a distinctly Oriental charm and beauty.

But more than that, she quickly locked her gaze onto the two beautiful girls in the gazebo.

One was quiet.

One was lively.

Seeing this scene, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and the fox-eared girl immediately wore a serious expression—ah, damn, is he really this fickle!? A great crisis! Truly a great crisis! Tamamo's virtuous wife sensor activated! But she couldn't concede, it was just the beginning!

Yes indeed! Must drive away all the bad women clinging to Master! From now on, she would unleash her full Tamamo power!!

"Oh, they're back too. Caster, let me introduce you..." Gu Mo noticed Ishtar and Akai Hinako were also there and casually wanted to introduce the Fox Elf following him closely, for they were all going to fight alongside one another soon enough.

But as soon as he turned to look at Tamamo no Mae, he was taken aback.

The fox-eared girl, who was just laughing and joking moments before, now wore a stern expression, exuding an incredible aura, and even the background had instantaneously turned into blazing flames spelling out "Virtuous Wife"... What was going on? Why did she suddenly ignite?

"Hey, hey, calm down, they're not enemies..."

He quickly tried to restrain Tamamo no Mae.

The next moment, a strong wind blew right at his face. Turning his head, Gu Mo found Ishtar standing directly in front of him, her eyes like radiant red gemstones filled with expectation and her cheeks flushed with excitement.
