Chương 38: Keeping a secret
Kadoc then looked at Kama, as then he pulled out his phone, as he then looked at group Photo that Him, Ritsuka and Kama in he teen form took during High school. He then looked at the photo then looked back at her, and then just did it 5 more times.
Kadoc just looked at kama. "Kama what, how did you become so Mature, how did you so many years up, what is happening"
Ritsuka just looked at him. "Ok so explanation, Kama is a goddess".
The words sink in for everyone, as other then Morgan and kama, everyone snapped there neck looking at Ritsuka screaming what.
Kadoc's jaw dropped as he kept looking between the group photo and Kama, his mind trying to comprehend what he'd just heard. He finally blurted out, "Wait, wait, hold on—a goddess? How did this happen?"
Ritsuka rubbed the back of his neck, preparing himself for the barrage of questions. "Yeah… it's kind of complicated, but yeah, she's an actual goddess. And she can change her appearance, which explains the whole 'teen to mature' thing."
Mash's eyes were wide as she echoed everyone else's shock, her voice almost trembling. "A goddess? As in... like a real divine being?"
Kama, clearly enjoying the chaos, gave a smug grin and crossed her arms. "That's right. I'm the goddess of love, desire, and all that fun stuff. You're all just lucky to be in my presence."
Kadoc, still flabbergasted, muttered to himself, "I thought she was just... y'know, a regular person in high school. How did I miss this?"
Ritsuka shrugged. "To be fair, we were all pretty distracted with other stuff back then. It wasn't exactly something that came up."
Kama chuckled and added, "Besides, I didn't reveal my true nature back then. No point in making things awkward when we were just having fun."
The room was still filled with stunned silence as everyone processed this revelation. Anastasia raised an eyebrow. "So, we've been dealing with an actual goddess this entire time?"
Kama shot her a wink. "Yup! And doing a pretty good job of it too, I might add."
Kadoc was still staring at his phone, flipping back and forth between the group photo and Kama's current form. "This... this doesn't make any sense. I mean, I guess it kind of does, but it's just... a lot."
Mash, who was still recovering from the shock, looked to Ritsuka for more clarification. "So, um... how does this affect everything? I mean, if Kama's a goddess, does that change how we interact with her?"
Kama leaned forward, smirking. "Oh, don't worry, Mash. I'm still the same Kama you've always known. But if you want to worship me, I won't stop you."
Ritsuka sighed, sensing that Kama was getting a bit carried away. "Look, it doesn't change much in terms of how we work together. It's just something you now know about. She's still part of the team, goddess or not."
Kadoc finally looked up from his phone, shaking his head. "I can't believe I didn't notice this earlier. It's like everything's just... clicking into place now."
Morgan, who had been quietly observing the conversation, finally spoke, her voice tinged with amusement. "You mortals are always so shocked when confronted with the divine. It's almost endearing."
Kadoc shot her a look. "Yeah, well, not everyone hangs out with goddesses and queens on a regular basis, Morgan."
Ritsuka chuckled nervously. "Trust me, Kadoc, it takes some getting used to. But you'll be fine. It's just another part of the job at this point."
As the room slowly returned to a semblance of normalcy, Kadoc put his phone away, still shaking his head in disbelief. "A goddess... in high school... I think I need a drink."
Kadoc just looked at Kama. "Wait Kama, the Indian God of Love, I thought she was he".
Ritsuka just looked at Kadoc. "Don't ask, please don't ask unless you wanna have a brain fuck, and listen in this room it Me, You (Kadoc), Ophelia, Mash, Morgan, Anastasia and Kama, keep this a secret".
Kadoc just looked at him. "So can I ask how is god here in a Modern time, especially after the end of the age of God's"
Ritsuka sighed, running a hand through his hair as he prepared himself to answer Kadoc's question. "Okay, so… short version: even though the Age of Gods ended, there are still some gods who managed to stick around in one way or another. Some found ways to stay relevant, or they were powerful enough to transcend those changes. Kama is one of those gods."
Kama, still smirking, gave a playful wink. "I'm too irresistible to fade away, even after the Age of Gods ended. Love and desire? They're eternal, darling."
Kadoc blinked, clearly trying to process this new information. "So, gods can still walk the earth even in modern times?"
Ritsuka nodded. "Pretty much, yeah. Though most of them aren't as active as they used to be, or they hide their true nature. Kama's just one of the rare exceptions."
Morgan, who had been listening intently, added, "The gods may no longer dominate the world like they once did, but their influence persists. Some, like Kama, have adapted to the new world. Others remain in their own realms, dormant but not gone."
Kadoc raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "So, what's stopping them from coming back? If gods can still be around, what's stopping them from, I don't know, taking over again?"
Ritsuka shook his head. "It's not that simple. The world's different now, and most gods don't have the same kind of influence they used to. Plus, humanity has changed. People don't worship the way they did in the Age of Gods, and that affects the gods too. They can't just 'come back' in the same way."
Kama chimed in, leaning back casually. "And besides, who would want to go through all that trouble? Things are much more interesting the way they are now. Gods like me are better off just enjoying life and messing with mortals when the mood strikes."
Kadoc glanced at Kama warily. "Right... messing with mortals."
Mash, who had been quiet until now, looked at Ritsuka. "So... does this mean there are other gods we might encounter?"
Ritsuka shrugged. "Possibly. We've met a few already, and I wouldn't be surprised if more show up. But it's not like they're all as active as Kama."
Anastasia, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up, her tone measured. "It's fascinating how much the world still retains traces of the divine, even in a time when magic and gods have faded."
Ophelia, who had been blushing ever since her earlier confession, finally broke her silence, speaking softly. "I suppose... it's comforting in a way. Knowing that some things, like love and desire, never truly disappear."
Kama's grin widened as she glanced at Ophelia. "Exactly! That's why I'm still here, darling."
Kadoc, still somewhat overwhelmed, leaned back in his seat. "Okay... so, gods are still around, they just operate in secret, and we're supposed to keep this all under wraps?"
Ritsuka nodded firmly. "Exactly. This isn't something that should get out. The last thing we need is more chaos."
Kadoc sighed heavily. "Yeah, well... I think I've had enough surprises for one day."
Ophelia, still looking flustered from her earlier confession, shook her head and muttered, "I feel like I'm living inside an anime right now..."
Mash glanced at her with a small smile, trying to ease the tension. "For some reason, I have this sudden urge to... I don't know, read a fanfic? All this drama, hidden emotions, and sudden revelations... It just feels like one."
Ritsuka couldn't help but laugh, crossing his arms. "Honestly, with everything that's been going on, you're not wrong, Mash. I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere is writing about all of us right now."
Kama winked at Mash, leaning forward with a teasing grin. "Fanfic, huh? You might want to be careful what you wish for, Mash. Those things can get... interesting, to say the least."
Mash's eyes widened a little, suddenly regretting her comment. "Wait... interesting how?"
Ritsuka coughed awkwardly. "Yeah, let's not go down that rabbit hole."
Kadoc groaned, rubbing his temples. "Fanfic, gods, harems... How is this my life right now? I just wanted to deal with...what ever happens and maybe not die. Now I'm in some kind of romance-fueled god comedy."
Anastasia, ever the composed one, chuckled softly. "Well, Kadoc, life does have a tendency to surprise us."
Ophelia gave a soft laugh, feeling a bit more relaxed. "At least we're all in this... strange adventure together."
Ritsuka smiled at the group. "Exactly. Strange or not, it's better because we're all in this as a team."
Kama stretched lazily. "Team, harem, family... Whatever you want to call it. Just make sure to keep things interesting."
Mash nodded, still smiling as she reflected on everything. "Interesting is definitely one way to describe this."
Kadoc leaned back, looking at the ceiling. "I think I'm going to need a vacation after this."
Everyone shared a laugh, the absurdity of their situation somehow making it easier to handle. Even with all the chaos, there was a sense of camaraderie that made it worth it.
As everyone began to leave Ritsuka's room, Ophelia lingered, her gaze fixed on him. She approached, her expression a mix of determination and tenderness.
"Since I'm part of your harem now," Ophelia said softly, her voice trailing off as if seeking confirmation, "I guess I can do this."
Before Ritsuka could respond, Ophelia closed the distance between them, her hands gently cradling his face. She leaned in and kissed him deeply. The kiss was passionate and filled with a mix of longing and affection.
Their lips moved together, and the kiss deepened. The sounds of their kiss—soft, tender, and intimate—echoed in the room. Ophelia's hands slid to Ritsuka's neck, pulling him closer, while Ritsuka's arms wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly yet gently.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
As they finally pulled away, both were breathless, their faces flushed. Ophelia looked at Ritsuka with a soft smile, her eyes conveying emotions she had long kept hidden.
Ritsuka, still catching his breath, returned her smile, touched by the genuine affection in her gesture. "Ophelia, you don't have to..."
Ophelia interrupted him with a gentle touch on his lips. "I wanted to. I'm glad to be part of your life, and this is how I wanted to show it."
The room was quiet for a moment, the intensity of their kiss settling into a comfortable, shared silence. It was clear that their relationship had taken a new, meaningful step forward.
In his room, Ritsuka looked at Kama and Morgan, trying to process everything that had happened.
Kama, always with her playful and teasing demeanor, broke the silence with a chippy tone. "Well, once Olga finds out about this, she's going to be so jealous of Ophelia. And as for the other female Masters, they'll definitely mark Ophelia as enemy number one!"
Her words, delivered with a touch of humor, made Ritsuka and Morgan exchange knowing glances. It was clear Kama was enjoying the situation and the implications of her statement.
Ritsuka chuckled, shaking his head. "You're not wrong. I guess we'll have to be prepared for some interesting reactions."
Morgan nodded, a smirk on her face. "It's always something with this group, isn't it?"
Kama laughed, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Oh, absolutely. But that's what makes it so entertaining. Let's just hope we can handle whatever comes our way."
Ritsuka sighed, appreciating the levity. "Yeah, let's hope so. For now, I think we've got enough on our plate."
As the laughter died down, Ritsuka turned to Kama and Morgan with a more serious expression.
"So, Kama, any advice on how to manage all these relationships and keep things balanced?" he asked, genuinely curious about how to navigate the complexities of his newly expanded harem.
Kama, with her usual nonchalance, responded, "Well, the key is communication and fairness. Make sure everyone feels valued and heard. It's also important to set clear boundaries and expectations. And remember, keep things light-hearted when possible; no one likes unnecessary drama."
Morgan, who had been listening intently, added, "Kama's right. Also, make sure to spend quality time with each person. It's not just about quantity but quality of the time you spend together. And don't forget to check in with everyone about how they're feeling."
Ritsuka nodded, absorbing their advice. "Got it. I'll make sure to keep that in mind."
As the conversation continued, the mood in the room relaxed. They discussed various strategies for managing relationships and navigating the challenges that lay ahead. The playful and supportive atmosphere provided Ritsuka with some much-needed clarity and reassurance.
Eventually, the conversation turned to the next steps and how to handle potential challenges from outside forces, given the dynamics of his harem and the broader context of their world. The trio worked together to plan their approach, each contributing their unique perspectives.
As they wrapped up, Ritsuka felt a sense of camaraderie and preparedness. With Kama's and Morgan's guidance, he felt more equipped to face the complexities of his situation. They all knew that challenges lay ahead, but they also knew that with teamwork and understanding, they could handle whatever came their way.
