The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me

"My knight... how could you betray me..." The goddess's voice, sadder than ever before, revealed her grief.

"You were meant to be mine..." The despair in her voice, coupled with her overwhelming presence, weighed heavily on my shoulders.

"But... why would you mix with another woman...?" The reality was too abhorrent to bear, yet the target of my disgust was someone I could never hate.

"Yes... you didn't want this, did you?! Of course, you didn't! But that woman beside you must have seduced you, there's no doubt about it!" Despite this, the clear intent to kill in her words froze me in place.

"That sly vixen... I won't let her be...!" Even though her anger wasn't directed at me, Eleonora's outcry made me feel as though I was being pushed back.

Then, a blinding white light emitted from her fingertips, and instinctively, I knew. If touched by that light, I would be erased as if I never existed in this world—down to the smallest particle, smaller than anything I could imagine.

"Meet your end for coveting what is mine!" Her voice, filled with resentment, was almost a tearing scream.

"Yura?! Shouldn't we escape?!" While my instinct was to flee from this impending death, Yura stood calmly, seemingly unaware of the danger of the light. Did she not realize what it was?

In that moment, Yura seemed to prepare herself, took a deep breath, and then released a stream of fiery flames towards the approaching light.

With a roaring sound, the bright flash and the fierce flames collided, filling the world with a tumultuous noise, and then...

A violent windstorm ensued, making it nearly impossible for me to keep my eyes open as it tried to push me away. Barely able to hold my ground in the midst of the storm, I was blinded by the brilliant lights that filled my vision. When the storm subsided and I could finally open my eyes, I was greeted by a shocking scene.

Black ashes, remnants of the clash between Eleonora and Yura, covered the ground, and the interior of the temple was blackened as if it had been consumed by fire.

"Stay back, brother..." Yura stepped forward, her eyes shining with an unusual vibrancy, different from her usual appearance.

Eleonora, having lost her sanity, was filled with a feral rage. Her eyes fixated only on Yura, as if she was the only target that needed to be eliminated.

Screaming, Eleonora unleashed bolts of blue lightning. In response, Yura conjured a gigantic fireball, resembling a statue from the square, and hurled it towards Eleonora.

The clash of their powerful magics created a tempestuous storm, and all I could do was cling desperately to the ground, trying not to be swept away by the maelstrom.

Yura's flames, seemingly stronger this time, pierced through the lightning and headed straight for Eleonora.

"It's nothing...!!" Eleonora shattered the meteor-like fireball with a punch. The temple, already looking dilapidated from their previous magical clash, was now half destroyed.

"Die!!" Seemingly deciding that magic wasn't enough, Eleonora leapt towards Yura with a force that seemed to tear the ground apart.

Then, a terrible sound, indescribable and blunt, suggested bones shattering and possibly the entire body being crushed. As a bystander, I was horrified by the awful noise.

Shortly after, a loud crash echoed as the building I was in started to collapse. The ground beneath me gave way, and I fell into darkness. Gasping for air, I felt the aftershocks of Eleonora's punch affecting me, momentarily numbing my lower body and spreading excruciating pain from within. It was just a moment, but it felt like an eternity.

Eleonora continued her relentless assault, her fury causing what seemed like seismic shifts in the environment.

Yura, not one to simply endure, retaliated with a kick. This caught Eleonora off guard, leading to her being flung into the sky.

"Krhh... Brother...!!" Yura, with incredible strength, soared into the air, holding onto me as we continued to plummet towards the ground. It felt like narrowly escaping death, only to see the light of the world anew.

"Brother, are you okay? Ahh...!" Landing on the ground, Yura gently released me and then collapsed to her knees, groaning in pain.

"Ugh... That goddess... she's too much for us right now..." She acknowledged the overwhelming power of Eleonora, a formidable adversary we were clearly not prepared to face.

Despite the brief encounter, the fact that Yura could stand her ground against such a force was impressive to me. She had only just arrived in this world and lacked combat experience, yet she managed not to be completely overpowered.

Suddenly, something fell from the sky like a comet, creating a dust storm and obscuring our vision.

"I cannot forgive you, harlot... For touching my man, death a hundred times over would still be too lenient..." Eleonora's words, filled with spite and sadness, cut through the air like a sharp blade.

"Tsck..." Yura clicked her tongue in frustration, clearly troubled by Eleonora's murderous intent.

"I will take your life... This is the least and the most I can do as punishment... I will end you painfully...." Eleonora's presence was overwhelming, filled with hatred and intent to kill, slowly advancing like an inescapable doom.

"Please wait, Goddess!" Despite knowing I was safe, fear gripped my heart. Initially, I was paralyzed with indecision, but I knew I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. "Harold?!" Eleonora's expression changed from shock to despair as she recognized me, the person obstructing her path.

"I met you before, and as I understand, Yura is my sister! Please show her mercy!" I pleaded, feeling like I was trying to calm a ravenous lion. My heart was pounding so hard in the extreme tension that it almost felt like it would burst.

"But... don't you already have many girls who want you? You are mine..." Eleonora's possessiveness was clear.

"Yes, I belong to you, Goddess. You are my priority, please show us mercy just this once!"

For a moment, Eleonora seemed to regain some of her sanity, her previous rage subsiding slightly. "But... I cannot bear the thought of you loving another woman... I... I...!"

"Eleonora!" In a bid to soothe her, I carefully embraced her. "I love you, Goddess. Haven't I proven that several times?"

Honestly, although I didn't want to admit it and found it embarrassing to think about, there were times in the past when I sincerely cared for Eleonora.

"Ah... this is unfair..." Her anger slowly diminished, and now she only showed her vulnerable side, resting in my arms.

"Alright... I will let this pass..."

After holding her for a while, Eleonora finally calmed down, though she seemed reluctant to let go of me. "Thank you, Goddess..." I expressed my gratitude, deciding to accept her affectionate demands for now.

"Brother..." Suddenly, Yura also wrapped herself around me from behind.

"Uh..." This scene rekindled Eleonora's resentment, and the atmosphere started to grow heavy again. "Let go of him, you lowly creature... Didn't you hear Harold's words just now?" Eleonora glared at Yura, but her tone was much milder compared to her earlier fury.

"Brother is my brother, you can't monopolize him." Despite admitting earlier that she couldn't match Eleonora, Yura was still determined, pressing herself firmly against me.

I felt like a shrimp caught between two whales, completely powerless in the situation.

"Harold, whisper your love to me once more, and stay in the temple with me tonight..."

"Brother... you'll refuse, right? I have something special planned for us tonight..."

Faced with a choice akin to a child being asked whether they love their mother or father more, I was silent, unable to make a decision. The truth was, there was no real choice to be made in the face of their demands.

"If you don't come to me, even if the world falls apart, I will come to get you... I hope you make a wise decision in your heart."

"The love of a gumiho is indeed profound, but the love they cannot receive from their partner... they often obtain it through less than favorable means, don't they?"

Their words became increasingly suffocating, almost threatening, forcing me into a decision.

What should I do in this situation...?

Honestly, I just wanted to cry out for help...
