Chapter 149 - Meteria 3

-Hera-

"Pardon..?" She was once again in disbelief, after all it wasn't everyday that she heard of an establishment that apparently sells everything and wasn't part of their world.

The implications weren't lost to her, it means that there are words beyond them. Which was honestly shocking.

For all her life, she thought that it was just them, but to think they're not the only ones from the vast universe.

"Yeah, it was shocking but I've seen enough proof to believe his claim." Meteria said.

"..." Alfia on the other hand didn't know what to say about this shocking news, she just stood there like a statue.

After a while Hera finally spoke. "Even though I know what you said aren't lies…it's still unbelievable to hear it."

No one would blame her for thinking this way, eons of existence she would have never thought another plane of dimensions existing somewhere else.

Meteria nodded. "I can understand why it's unbelievable.. but I can show you! After all I have this!" 

Her child showed a card of some sort, and from her experienced eyes the materials that were made from this was something she couldn't recognize at all.

It looks like bronze but it wasn't, and this is another proof that Meteria wasn't lying with her claim.

"A card? What does that do?" Alfia raised a brow at this.

"Alfia! It's not just any card! It's an item that will bring us to his establishment!" 

".... really?" The silence remained skeptical.

Meteria look offended by her sister's doubt. "I'll show you!"

And so, she did as a glowing gate suddenly appeared in the room without any prior warning.

This undeniable proof silenced any protest as this was something that no one could deny.

I said my farewell at Meteria, it was nice talking to a nice girl like her, although it was a shame that I wasn't able to sell her anything in the shop.

Although I gave her the card so that she could come back later, still it was quite absurd to think her illness was converted into hundreds of credits.

It was kind of ridiculous, to think it's more expensive than some revival items.

I saw its description as it was truly a vicious illness, it was a miracle that she managed to survive at that age.

As I was about to leave the shop to my employee, someone entered the shop once more.

This was a first for me, consecutive 3 times in a single hour.

Then as I was about to greet this 'new' guest, I saw a familiar girl that I was talking about a moment ago.

'This is a new record, she's the fastest to return, but it seems that she didn't come alone.' I noticed that she bought some other guests on her return.

Then like a puppy that saw their owner, she perked up after seeing me, and waving her hands above happily. "Sir! I'm back!"

If she has a tail, there's no doubt she would be wagging her tail right now.

I smiled back at her, which in turn made her blush a bit, she's way too easy. But then again, I do look good and she doesn't have much experience with guys.

But certainly, she isn't worse than Bocchi. At very least she doesn't have social anxiety that could potentially kill her.

Sometimes I worry about that girl, anyway I greeted the people she bought back with.

From what I can see, it was her twin sister and this…woah.

'No wonder she's a goddess.' I was a bit caught off with the otherworldly beauty she was showing.

No wonder Zeus tapped that, I can't blame him after all she's at the same caliber as D, in my personal opinion.

Now I'm very curious about meeting the other gods of their world, especially Freya. If this was the level of a goddess that doesn't have the domain of beauty, then it makes me wonder how beautiful a god was with 'beauty' as their domain.

"Welcome to my shop, where everything and anything could be bought with enough money." I bowed a bit as I introduced my establishment.

Alfia was looking at me filled with suspicion, clearly not trusting me or my words.

Not that I blame her, however her goddess was different as she was staring at me with surprise in her eyes, but quickly concealed it and started looking around and said. "So it is real, this is truly another dimension entirely…"

Supposedly Meteria told them that, however based on her words I could guess that she didn't believe Meteria's words.

That's probably why they're here to confirm its validity, but it really doesn't matter as I see them as a potential cash-cow, especially Hera. I'm going to recommend to her an item that could make Zeus only committed to her and only her.

Wait, are they even husband and wife in this universe..? Eh, it doesn't matter, it's not my problem.

"Well ladies, I'm sure you're curious about all of this, so don't be shy and feel free to ask me anything." 

Alfia remained cautious, Hera on the other hand was more open minded and said. "Shopkeeper, there's something I would like to ask you."

And so I started answering whatever questions she had on mind.

-Alfia-

She doesn't like this, she doesn't like it at all.

While her goddess was searching for things that she wanted to buy as she was already convinced by the owner of this shop after answering her questions.

She actually heard some and frankly it's impressive and downright shocking, normally she wouldn't really mind this situation as it is a boon for them.

But….

She narrowed her eyes toward the man in front, the man who her sister happily talked to.

She never saw her this happy or excited and worse of all, she could feel it.

Her sister's interest in that man, while she may be inexperienced in that kind of thing, she still picks up a thing or two about it.

It was so obvious that even an inexperienced maiden could see her sister's ever growing crush on this man.

She clenched her hands, forming a fist. 

'Why are you acting like that Meteria? What's so good about that man? Sure, he looks good but appearance isn't everything!' Alfia didn't deny that this man was good-looking, but it's not enough for her to approve of such a man to her sister.

While she may be thankful for his help, the fact that he cured her sister's incurable illness, and she already has a good impression on him compared to the majority of people around.

But seeing him talking, flirting with her sister, the person she treasured the most. It would be accurate to say that her impression of him was down to the drain.

As the two were about to get closer, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she went and interrupted their ongoing conversation.

"You. Stop talking to my sister." 

I stared at the identical woman beside me, her teeth were grinding on each other and despite her eyes being technically almost shut, I could feel the glare in her eyes.

She was super hostile to me, while I'm aware that she's protective of her sister, this sis-con level is definitely at yandere level.

Either way, to me she looks like a rabid dog that was about to bite me if I were to cross the line.

But in the end, it doesn't matter to me as it wasn't a threat to me, in fact it's quite amusing in my perspective.

Meteria, who looked worried, and a bit disappointed at her sister's interruption tried to talk to her. "Alfia why are being so rude-"

"Sister! You shouldn't talk to this man, he's- he's not good enough for you!"

Hearing that from Alfia, her face turned red immediately. "W-what are you talking about?! I-i'm not- I mean t-there's nothing like that going on!"

I would have believed in her if she wasn't trying to give me a subtle look while saying that.

While the twins continued to argue for no reason, as I wasn't really trying to court her sister as I'm more proactive than this if that was the case.

It's one-sided, nothing more as my love life is complicated enough, thinking about it gives me a headache.

And finally Hera called me as she finally decided which to buy.

Way too random.
