Chapter 1166: It Is Tradition. 2
"Hmm, not all of them are here. Where is my smart little girl, and my troublesome redheads?"
When the others were about to say something, they heard.
"I am here, Father..." Velina spoke while looking furiously at her sisters. Her impeccable appearance from before was completely messed up, as if she had just come out of a street fight and had lost badly.
"Mou! Daddy, I am not a troublesome redhead." Priscilla ignored her sister’s look and grumbled.
"Well, my redheads, all of you have somehow already caused a little chaos, haven’t you?"
Erika, Priscilla, Rosemary, Silvia, Siren, and even Lucrecia Lena Elderblood, daughter of Lacus and Victor, who was a quieter woman, blushed.
Erika, even being as calm as Hestia, still joined her sisters in causing chaos sometimes. That is why Anna was very strict; if she let these girls loose, she didn’t doubt the entire planet would be in chaos in less than a year.
"But to think that my little sun would join too." Victor laughed, amused.
Hinata turned her flushed face away and did not dare to look at her father.
Seeing his daughter still upset, Victor decided to improve her mood a little.
"Come here." He made Velina float a little and let her fall onto his lap.
"Don’t get too irritated with them. They were just playing, and not once did they cross the line, right? You could always free yourself if you wanted. You also had fun, didn’t you?" She could pretend as much as she wanted, but nothing could be hidden from Victor.
"... Y-Yes, Daddy." Velina’s entire intelligent posture completely disappeared as she became Daddy’s little girl and even acted spoiled.
"Humpf, we will never hurt our sister," Sylvia grumbled.
Silvia, her sister, just snorted. The two, despite their different names, sounded practically the same when spoken.
"I know, you are all good girls and my most precious treasures." He smiled.
"... Father/Daddy."
"...." The wives narrowed their eyes. Now it was their turn to become jealous.
"All of you." Victor looked at the wives with an amused expression and a smile.
"...." They snorted, but their jealousy visibly decreased.
Victor laughed, regardless of their mood, because he liked their jealousy. It is like his personal motto. ’If they are jealous, it is because they care.’ It would be more problematic if his wives were not jealous.
Then he would think there was some problem.
"Hey, I’m back-... Ah." Velnorah, who had just arrived, was slightly surprised by what she was seeing, but she soon ignored it. With Victor nearby, even her smartest daughter would become foolish.
Gaia, Persephone, Morgana, Lilith, and Lily appeared next.
"... So, what happened there?"
"The usual." Kaguya, Aphrodite, and Anna answered in unison.
"... Well, at least we don’t have family problems like my old pantheon," Gaia said.
"...." Aphrodite and Persephone nodded. Most Greek problems were caused by the Greek gods themselves.
The fact that everything was peaceful amid a bunch of goddesses was a miracle... Or perhaps not. ’The fact that this was working was because the Dragon Nest had no male gods, and all of them were somehow related to Darling.’
The only God of the entire pantheon was Victor, while the rest were all women. Of course, the same could not be said of their Empire: their Empire had many men, but none of them were part of the pantheon as a God.
’Maybe War? But he is not properly a member of the pantheon. He is more like a loyal sword of Victor.’ Aphrodite delved deeper into this subject. ’Maybe everything is working because there are no gods to compare Egos, and because Victor is the strongest, and they all care about him.’
She can easily see a pantheon of goddesses imploding from the inside out. She knew very well that her goddess friends were extremely vain and had very large egos. The same fact applied to her sisters, and if it were not for Victor keeping everything together...
’It is better not to think about it. Instead of a Pantheon, this is more like a big family where Victor is the head.’ She thought.
Hela, Nyx, Bruna, Eve, Mizuki, and Violet arrived next.
They looked neutrally at Victor’s group, which was like a bunch of ducklings near the mother duck, then at their sisters.
"The usual?" Hela asked.
"The usual." They all answered.
"...."
Natalia arrived next, and when she saw the group, she immediately understood what happened and spoke:
"They are not going to have dinner anytime soon, are they? Darling even deliberately reduced the time here."
"Yes."
Then, a group of white-haired women arrived.
Violet smiled: "Mother, you arrived~."
"And you brought what I asked for~." Violet’s eyes shone with amusement.
"....." Sasha, Ruby, Anna, and Kaguya just rolled their eyes at Violet’s obvious expression.
’She isn’t even hiding it anymore.’ They thought.
Agnes looked at her daughter neutrally and wore a smile matching hers. "Of course."
Hilda Snow was a maid who had served these two women for a long time. She could read their intentions very well, even though neither of them had told her anything; she could more or less understand what was happening.
’She’s planning to repeat what happened in the past.’ Hilda thought about what had happened in the past and displayed a satisfied smile. That day had been very good, and she couldn’t wait to repeat it again.
The only one who was probably confused by everything was Yuki Snow. She had no idea what was happening. Agnes, Hilda, and Violet had known what Yuki wanted for a long time. The poor girl had no idea what awaited her, not that she wouldn’t like it; she had been waiting for this situation for a long time.
"Let’s leave them alone for now, let’s prepare the table," Violet said.
"Yes."
At dinner that night, it wasn’t the countless maids who prepared everything, but the wives themselves. Victor said nothing about it, but they themselves decided that it should be this way. After all, a family dinner should be prepared by the wife.
And since they were dragon gods, even though they didn’t need to eat, when they did, they ate a lot of food, and not even 20 mountains full would be enough to satisfy them.
"What should we do today?" Kaguya, as the perfect Maid, assumed the leading role as always.
"One of the Leviathans recently hunted a star beast, let’s go with that." Scathach gave her opinion.
A star beast was literally a monster that ate stars for dinner. To everyone else, or any other civilization, it was an existential-level threat, but to them, it was just food.
"Agreed." They all said at the same time.
’A star beast, I wonder what it tastes like.’ It was the first time Albedo would eat this.
"And call our other sisters, they are taking too long," Violet ordered Bruna, who was nearby.
"I will go get them," Bruna said.
"Wait." Violet held her. Violet’s eyes shone slightly: "Call Tyche, and the Valkyries too."
Bruna narrowed her eyes: "What did you see?"
"Something interesting, fufufufu~. Now, go call them."
"Right."
Approaching the gigantic kitchen, Scathach said, "This won’t work."
"How big is it?" Maria asked curiously.
"Bigger than Jupiter," Scathach answered.
"....." Those who had never seen this beast before were speechless at the absurdity Scathach was describing.
"Leave it to me," Anna said, then began to speak at high speed using her powers. In less than a second, space expanded until 3 Jupiter-sized planets could fit side by side.
"Bring it to us," Anna said.
Scathach waved her hand, and a beast larger than Jupiter appeared.
"... It is beautiful," Ruby muttered.
"Too bad it is dead. It could have made a decent pet." Sasha spoke.
"Can we clone this?" Kaguya spoke.
"I can try," Velnorah said.
The beast was enormous, and it had its body covered by fused space. It was as if it were part of the cosmos itself. It had no skin, as its hide seemed to be space itself. It was a beautiful creature.
"Our Leviathans are strong, huh? They managed to take care of this." Eve spoke. Even dead, she could still feel the creature’s power.
"They always hunt in groups, after all," Anna said. The planet of the Leviathans already had more than billions of beings, and the largest of them could easily swallow a planet the size of Earth.
"Hmm, it is still a young beast. The last one I saw was much bigger than this." Scathach spoke.
"... Just where were you walking around to see this?" Violet asked curiously.
"On the edges of the sector, I was bored and was wandering around there looking for something interesting. I recorded the moment." Scathach spoke.
The women searched the Empire’s records for the recording, and when they saw the video Scathach made, their eyes widened.
"What size is that!? It is swallowing an entire star!!!" Dun Scaith spoke.
"It is 1,670,040 KM in size, approximately 120 times larger than the Sun of the Earth," Ruby said after a brief calculation, looking at the image.
"... That is big." Dun Scaith muttered.
"Darling is much bigger." Violet snorted.
"Indeed, he is indeed much bigger," Agnes said with a perverted smile.
"This beast doesn’t even come close to his size." Natasha joined the perverted trio.
"Yeah, Darling is this big." Naty opened her arms widely.
"... I know you are talking about his dragon form, but can you not make things weird?" Ruby spoke.
"My dear sister, we wouldn’t be us if we didn’t do this." Violet laughed.
"... Fair." Ruby nodded.
"Hmm, by my calculations, this is still a young beast."
"... What?" The others were surprised.
"Aline, when did you come?" Ruby asked upon seeing her experiment companion collecting materials from the beast.
"Just now. Bruna gave me a huge scare. I was in the middle of an experiment." She pouted.
"... Aline is right," Velnorah spoke next. "The two are still very young beasts."
"The oldest member of them must be the size of an entire solar system, or even larger."
"Just how long does it take for them to get this size?"
"Billions of years? Probably even more. They seem to be very rare. There are only a few more in this sector, and all of them must be young. The oldest ones must be in the upper sectors." Velnorah spoke.
"I will tell the Leviathans not to kill them when they find one again, but to capture it. You should have done that from the beginning, Sister," Velnorah said to Scathach.
"I am not a scientist, so to me, it is just an exotic animal." Scathach snorted. That is why she just randomly added it to the imperial record and didn’t even hunt the beast. After all, it did not show hostility toward Scathach.
"And to begin with, when Darling used his dragon form, he was larger than entire galaxies. It is not that impressive."
"... Well, Darling is Darling. He is an anomaly, and this is a natural beast of the universe, and we can learn more if we observe it more... I am feeling sorry about eating it now."
"I am not! Natasha, prepare the knife." Violet spoke while picking up a saw.
"Yes, Mam." Natasha picked up a knife.
"Wait! Let us take more samples, then we can eat!!!" Ruby shouted and then, together with Velnorah and Aline, quickly began collecting several samples.
"Let’s take the heart, brain, eyes, and bone marrow, and the stomach too... My God, their stomach is like a black hole! Look at this absurd amount of energy." Ruby spoke.
"Well, their food is the stars themselves," Aline said.
While the three worked at high speed, Violet, Natasha, Naty, and Sasha were preparing their knives. An ordinary knife would not pierce that skin.
"Let’s make knives with divine and demonic materials, I doubt it won’t pierce this body!" Natasha spoke.
"Leave it to me." Sasha raised her hand, brought the necessary materials, and then used her draconic language to make several knives from them.
Seeing her sisters working: "... I tell you, this is some divine nonsense, we are already at this level, Huh?" Albedo spoke. She already knew this, but seeing the level at which they worked, she couldn’t help but think about the past and how limited her vision was.
"You get used to it," Morgana said in a neutral tone.
"I’m here... What the hell!" Amaterasu, who appeared, shouted in shock.
"What is that!?" She pointed.
"A star beast." Haruna, who came with her, said, looking at the records.
"And what the hell is that?" Amaterasu asked.
"A beast made of space that feeds on their namesake, and it is not even an adult," Haruna stated the obvious while looking at the records.
"... What are they doing?" She looked at her sisters.
"Making today’s dinner," Aphrodite said.
"We are going to eat this?" She asked.
"Yes," Aphrodite answered.
Amaterasu looked at the beast again, seeing its gigantic size. She began to drool. ’I wonder what this tastes like.’
"Amaterasu, come here. We can use your power to fry this." Violet ordered.
"....." Amaterasu was speechless for a moment. She, a goddess-queen, was demoted to using her sun divinity to cook.
"Amaterasu!"
"I am coming!" She quickly went to help. After all, she was curious about the taste too, so she completely ignored that strange initial feeling. In fact, it was even fun, since only with her family was she ’normal.’
"Let’s make several dishes from several cultures," Anna suggested, since it would be a waste to just fry it all.
"It is a good idea."
