Chapter 546: 108. The Goddess’s Endurance
The night on Sardinia Island was as peaceful as ever. The starry sky was brilliant, and a bright moon hung high, draping the land in a silver cloak.
In front of a window of the Witch's House stood a petite figure.
With shoulder-length silver hair and eyes as deep as the night, dressed in a small nightgown, it was none other than the poor goddess Athena, captured by an evil great demon king and sealed of her divine power.
"I can already feel it—the time to regain my freedom is near…"
Her voice was clear and melodious like spring water, carrying a strange magical charm and magnetism. Looking out at the sky, Athena's face was full of anticipation and excitement.
Although her divine power was sealed, as a goddess, Athena had no doubt about her foresight. Her vision told her that soon she would regain her power and freedom!
Finally, she would escape the clutches of the detestable Sora. Thinking back on the days she was bullied by him, Athena couldn't help but feel excited…
Once the queen of the gods and the sky, she was now treated like a teddy bear by a hateful god-slayer, often deprived of her offerings. These humiliations were soaked in blood and tears!
Taking out the Gorgoneion she had carefully kept under her nightgown, Athena's expression turned serious. The once quiet Gorgoneion had become restless since arriving on this island, radiating magical light as if it would fly away if released.
Looking toward a certain direction outside the window, Athena knew something related to her was there. If she had her power, she would have gone to check immediately, but now powerless…
Turning back, she glanced at the three sleeping figures on the bed—the miko, the maid, and the demon king's sister—and her heart raced. Now might be a good chance to escape!
But the thought was quickly dismissed. Without her power, even if she escaped, the hateful Sora would catch her again and have more reasons to bully her and withhold her offerings.
Such a reckless and meaningless escape was not something the clever Athena would attempt!
"Hmph, the time to regain my freedom is near anyway. I'll just endure a little longer!"
Determined, Athena carefully hid the Gorgoneion close to her body and clumsily climbed down from the window.
She couldn't help but frown. She was tired of this powerless, petite body!
Just as she steadied herself on the ground, she seemed to hear something, and her small ears twitched.
"Hmm… I can't take it anymore, Erica, come help me!"
"Hah… hah… I'll rest a bit more, you hold on yourself…"
"Hmph, Great Witch, do you think Erica can save you? Just give up!"
…
Though separated by a thick wall, Athena could clearly hear the shameless voices from the next room. Even her icy face flushed faintly.
"Shameless!!!"
Angrily scolding, feeling her sacred self defiled by these evil sounds, Athena quickly climbed back onto the bed and crawled into the maid Arianna's blanket, covering her small head tightly with the quilt…
…
Time: The Next Day
The weather was clear and sunny, with a faint salty sea breeze gently brushing the face, giving a very comfortable feeling.
Sora and the girls were here on vacation, so naturally, they intended to enjoy themselves. Sardinia Island was indeed a nice place—though a bit remote and sparsely populated, this made it peaceful and quiet.
On the beach, Sora wore sunglasses and lay on a lounge chair, enjoying a comfortable sunbath. Watching four beautiful girls in swimsuits playing beach volleyball nearby, a sly smile occasionally curved his lips.
Due to training since childhood, without a doubt, Erica had the best figure among the four. Her curves were perfect—where it should be full, it was full; where it should be perky, it was perky, with no excess fat. Her fair skin glowed with an endless seductive sheen, clearly the result of good care.
Yes, Sora knew it was all thanks to him!
The maid Arianna, on Erica's team, was also quite good. Sora hadn't noticed before because she always wore a maid outfit, but this little girl had a great figure too. Without magic or sword skills, and usually just doing housework for Sora and Erica, she still had a body that made many women jealous.
So, it was all natural, huh?!
Shifting his gaze, Sora looked at Yuri. This girl was always shy, and playing beach volleyball in a swimsuit was a huge challenge for her.
Her face was red and shy as she awkwardly held two "volleyballs" in front of her chest and tried to catch the ball Erica hit. The result was predictable—she slipped and fell on the sand.
Well, seeing Yuri's alluring pose as she fell, Sora's eyes behind the sunglasses gleamed greedily. Tsk tsk, Yuri, you're not playing volleyball at all—you're just giving me a show!
Looking around, thankfully, besides himself and the girls, there was no one else. So any "show" was his alone.
Finally, his gaze landed on Shizuka, Yuri's teammate. Sora's mouth twitched as he cast a sympathetic look at his little sister.
Among the four girls, she was the worst in figure. In looks, though a bit cute, she was still the lowest. Occasionally glancing at Erica and the others, Sora could see the strong envy in her expression.
Well, although he wanted to comfort her with "Dear sister, you're still young and have potential," for his own safety, Sora decided to keep those words to himself, sweating…
With his gaze withdrawn, enjoying the cool breeze and warm sunshine, Sora took a deep breath. This was the life one should live!
"Athena, fruit."
Stretching comfortably, Sora called to a certain little girl who was massaging his shoulders.
"Damn Kusanagi Sora, how dare you make me do this kind of thing! I'll crush you to death! I'll crush you to death!"
Athena, who was cursing Sora Sora repeatedly in her heart, heard Sora's voice and instantly lost her temper.
That despicable Godslayer! Although I am your defeated subordinate, I am not your servant to be waited on!!!
If it weren't for the thought that I only need to endure a little longer before regaining my freedom, Athena really would have the impulse to refuse. But even so, Athena secretly vowed in her heart: Damn Kusanagi Sora, remember this! The humiliation you brought upon me, once I regain my freedom, I will repay you in full!
Although she hated Sora almost to death inside, Athena still dared not disobey him now. Even though her little lips were pouted high, she still walked over to the side rack to get the fruit he wanted.
Unlike the swimsuits worn by the other girls, Athena, who was still a loli in stature, could not afford those kinds of clothes. It was unclear where the unscrupulous great witch found it, but Athena was now wearing a light blue, close-fitting swimsuit that looked somewhat like underwear, similar to what elementary school swim team kids wear.
Tsk tsk, not to mention, although it didn't have any revealing parts like Erica and the others that would spark endless fantasies, it still looked quite cute on her small frame!
"Athena-chan, I want some too."
A lazy voice, with a hint of a different kind of charm that made one's bones feel soft, came from the great witch Zola lying next to Sora, also enjoying the sunbath.
Originally, this great witch also wanted to play volleyball or something, but unfortunately, she was specially taken care of by Sora last night and still hadn't fully recovered. Sigh…
"Hmph!"
Athena snorted coldly, not buying the great witch's act at all. Damn Kusanagi Sora is one thing, but others also want the noble me to serve them? No way!
Feeling very displeased, Athena grabbed a piece of sliced apple from the silver platter full of various fruits and roughly stuffed it into Sora's mouth…
