Cherreads

Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: I Was Clearly Here First, So Why Did Things Turn Out Like This?

BurnItAll.exe-[Nameless, please stop spreading your damn irresistible charm!]

BobUchiha-[No wonder Mordred's fighting Father over him... Even the goddesses want a piece?!]

SinMommy-[Venus has fallen for someone else (×), Venus wants to fight the King of Heroes for Nameless (√)!]

...

"You actually want him to confess to you?"

Rin Tohsaka's face suddenly flushed red.

Because the goddess Ishtar looked exactly like her.

And Nameless... acted just like that fool Sanjiro—always jumping high, helping others in silence without asking for anything in return.

By that logic, wouldn't this basically mean she was the one confessing to Sanjiro?

She remembered once asking Sanjiro why he was always helping people, and that guy replied—

"I've been through the worst. If I can make it easier for someone else, why wouldn't I."

That line had etched itself into her DNA. She could never forget it.

Damn it, how could she possibly like this kind of idiot? Someone who can't jump high but keeps trying, gets ordered around every day yet is always cheerful, a guy who's... good at cooking, of all things?

And then—

Rin watched the video as Nameless responded,

"I refuse. Because I hate gods. Unless you become human."

Eh?!

She was stunned on the spot.

Could it be… Ishtar really was her in a past life?

And in order to win over Nameless, she abandoned her divinity and became human?

If that's the case, then... could Sanjiro's past life have been Nameless?

No, no, she was overthinking it. Coincidences like this don't just happen.

Rin's face felt like it was on fire.

Too terrifying...

Fated lovers in a past life? Only idiots believe in that stuff!

In the video:

Faced with Nameless's rejection, Ishtar scoffed coldly, "Mortals are just mortals. You're only worthy of crawling on the ground forever!"

"Ishtar, I think I might like you…"

Nameless suddenly stared at her with a deep, affectionate gaze.

"Eh?"

Ishtar froze.

That wasn't the answer she was expecting at all.

This arrogant, god-hating guy—how could he suddenly fall for her?

No, no! She's the goddess of beauty! No mortal could possibly resist her charm!

Ishtar beamed even more brilliantly,

"Mortal, come confess your love to the most beautiful and elegant goddess!"

"I like your sister Eresh! Sorry, but in my eyes, you're just a monkey. And humans can't date monkeys."

Nameless said it with deadly seriousness.

The scene fell silent in an instant.

Ishtar's smile slowly vanished as she stared at him, stunned.

Did he just call her... a monkey???

Gilgamesh couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Nameless, that's just like you. Always full of surprises!"

For someone who always despised the gods—

This was peak entertainment!

Ishtar's face turned red at a visible rate, boiling with fury.

"You bastard! You think that death-loving shut-in down there is more charming than me?!"

"Yeah. Way more charming. You're just a monkey to me. Should I call you Queen Monkey?" Nameless calmly replied.

Ereshkigal—Ishtar's sister, the mistress of the underworld—was arguably the most feared and loathed being by both humans and gods alike.

Because seeing her was the same as confronting death itself.

No one likes death.

Naturally, no one liked the goddess of the underworld.

And yet, this guy just said Eresh was more attractive than her!

Unforgivable. That broke her completely.

Ishtar snapped.

"She hides underground all day. If she's so great, let her come here and face me!"

"You wanted to see me?"

A chilling aura swept in, so cold it felt like it could freeze one's soul.

A girl who looked exactly like her stood silently in the shadows of the city wall, expressionless.

"Ahahaha—why are you here?!"

Ishtar panicked and immediately took a few steps back. This was a real ghost sighting!

Though the two were sisters...

Let's not forget—she had died at her hands once before. Luckily, she was revived by the king of the gods, Anu!

The underworld goddess, surrounded by an aura of death, ignored Ishtar completely.

Instead, she looked at the handsome man beside her, "Nameless, are you... not afraid of me?"

Her voice tried to stay cold, but it trembled faintly.

Everyone feared her. No one dared even look at her.

But now, someone said she was cute—and preferred her over her sister Ishtar.

She was terrified that he was only joking... terrified that the one light in her darkness would disappear.

Now, she stood in the shadows of the wall, like she was in hell itself.

And he stood in brilliant sunlight, his smile warm and holy.

It was like watching heaven and hell.

"Of course I'm not afraid. You're so gentle, kind, considerate, shy, easily flustered, and..."Nameless smiled warmly.

Ishtar stood beside them, clutching her chest with a sour expression.

Damn it!

Stupid human! Why treat us differently just because we're sisters?! How could you be so outrageously biased?!

"I-I'm the goddess of the underworld! I'm not shy or tsundere!"

A faint blush appeared on Eresh's face.

Why did this mysterious human describe the goddess of death as—

Gentle? Kind? Considerate?

Wasn't she supposed to represent fear, coldness, slaughter, and all things death-related?

"You're genuinely adorable."

Nameless's smile grew softer.

He stepped out from the sunlight and into the shadows, like heaven descending into hell.

"Don't come any closer!"

Eresh reached out as if to touch him, but her voice was anxious, trying to stop him.

She yearned for praise and closeness...

But she was the goddess of the underworld. Any mortal who approached her would surely die.

As Nameless stepped into the shadow toward her...

The once feared, ruthless goddess of the underworld—

Vanished into thin air.

She ran away!?

"So cute."

Nameless grinned with a wicked satisfaction, like a mischievous child who had just pulled a prank.

"You bastard! You're dead! The gods have already dispatched divine weapons to destroy you and Gilgamesh!"

Ishtar was absolutely livid.

I was the first one here!

Whether it was to confess or to fall in love—

Why did it end up like this?!

Saying that, she vanished too.

No way she was sticking around to be further humiliated.

Damn it, so much for sisterly love...

She had actually thought of helping her sister out.

But clearly, her sister didn't need her help at all!

This audacious goddess disappeared without a trace.

Onscreen, countless viewers watching the video were in hysterics—

ICastFart-[Bro, you're god-tier at flirting!]

BobUchiha-[Damn it... the sisters look exactly the same—he's going for both?!]

AlphaSigma-[Master! Nameless, you're my master now! Please teach me your ways!]

SinMommy-[Rule 1: Be as handsome as Nameless. Rule 2: Be as strong as Nameless.]

AlphaSigma-[Okay, never mind. Goodbye!]

...

"That bastard! Why is he still flirting with other women?!"

Mordred couldn't help shouting.

He already had her and her father. How dare he mess around with other goddesses? At that moment, she noticed Gawain next to her, winking furiously.

"What's wrong, potato spirit? Got a cramp in your face?"

Mordred asked in confusion.

She stretched her body casually, then noticed a familiar figure appear in her field of vision.

She froze.

Artoria was standing silently behind her, watching the video as well.

Damn it, Father, how could you sneak up on me like the goddess of the underworld in the video?!

Artoria's holy blue eyes remained calm as she spoke softly,

"I'm planning to visit Japan for a diplomatic mission."

(T/N: Damn bro, wish you luck... you gonna need it.)
