Following their apotheosis, the two found themselves reset to a state akin to newborn infants, devoid of any combat prowess. Even basic movent had beco a challenge. Consequently, they were supported by the others and brought to a temporary camp to be properly dressed. The four spider sisters retrieved a vast collection of garnts, effectively turning the duo into human mannequins.
However, since Shirazawa had reclaid his male form, there were no suitable clothes available for him. Ultimately, at Ariel's strong insistence, he was forced to wrap himself in a long white dress. *After all that effort, I still end up cross-dressing?!*
Gazing at the peerless beauty in the mirror, Shirazawa silently lanted, "I feel less and less like a man". With three thousand silver strands cascading to his waist, sharp and elegant features, skin as smooth as jade, and perfect muscle lines, he looked like an enchanting seductress—a male version of a mythical river spirit. Clad in the dress, he possessed a devastating charm capable of captivating anyone regardless of gender.
Ariel rubbed her chin and remarked, "Tsk, you do look a bit effeminate". Shirazawa remained speechless. He glanced out the window at the scorching sun, realizing today would be difficult. Aside from their pink pupils, their entire bodies were now snow-white. Even their eyebrows and other hair had turned white. In modern dical terms, this was essentially albinism. Their infant-like skin was far too delicate for direct sunlight and would burn easily. It was absurd that while the vampire master and servant could walk freely under the sun, the two newly ascended gods could not.
"Aze, my... my eyes..." Shiro approached the mirror after finishing her preparations. She was stunned by the sight of her pink eyes. Hidden within each pink pupil were four deep-red *tomoe*. Essentially, five eyes had been compressed into a single eyeball—seductive, dangerous, and eerily alluring.
"The eight spider eyes from your lower body and the two human eyes from your upper body have rged into ten Evil Eyes," Shirazawa explained, putting her at ease. "This is a good thing; your Evil Eye abilities have been perfectly inherited". Despite the explanation, Shiro found the strange four-*tomoe* eyes unsettling. She decided to keep them closed whenever it wasn't absolutely necessary to open them. This disappointed Shirazawa; she was already a "silent bride," and now she was adding "blindness" to her character traits.
Shiro entered a state of total resignation, quietly playing the role of a novice goddess while the small spider girls fussed over her. Shirazawa was less particular, casually sweeping his silver hair up into a traditional topknot secured with a hairpin.
Once they were ready, Ariel recounted what had happened during their absence:
* Shortly after they swallowed the bomb, the G-Fleet ship lost power and plumted. Ariel had escaped just in ti.
* The ship, which should have crashed, vanished suddenly—likely reclaid by D.
* After the battle, a battered Dustin hurriedly led his remaining forces back to the Holy Kingdom of Alleius. Before leaving, he asked Ariel to convey his gratitude to the two White Goddesses.
* The chanical army brought by the "old elf" was almost entirely wiped out.
* The Wind Dragons also suffered heavy losses; Hyuvan was currently patrolling the borders with his remaining troops.
* The spider army was the only group to erge unscathed, with the four Mythical-class "aunts" and the four sisters having perford heroically.
"Brother~" Ael, the eldest sister, leaned in to ask for a reward. Shirazawa affectionately patted her head, prompting Sael, Riel, and Fiel to crowd around him as well, clamoring for hugs and attention. Even Sophia joined in the chaos until Shirazawa had to call for a stop. Amidst the boisterous crowd, Shirazawa and Shiro shared a smile, their eyes reflecting genuine happiness.
Ariel further explained that a few days after the ship vanished, Güliedistodiez had personally retrieved Sophia and razophis from the labyrinth. Seeing Gülie arrive alone, Sophia had feared the worst and burst into tears, much to the dragon's discomfort. Upon returning to the wasteland, Ariel was initially misled into thinking the two had died in the explosion. Had it not been for the sudden appearance of the massive silk cocoon, she would have already attacked the Elf Village in a quest for vengeance. Nearly fifty days had passed since then, with everyone guarding the cocoon in a temporary camp.
As the story concluded, Gülie entered the tent to explain their divine status. Without the System's assistance, they were currently weaker than average humans. Despite the vast energy within them, they could not access it yet and would have to learn everything from scratch.
"I've retrieved the items from your Spatial Storage, but you'll have to manage the rest of the journey yourselves," Gülie said before depositing Shiro's entire hoard of snacks, tableware, spices, and clothing in a massive pile. He then took his leave, as D had strictly forbidden him from interfering further with the reincarnations.
Everyone stared in shock at the mountain of supplies.
"Shiro, just how much stuff did you have in your secret stash?" Ariel asked, her mouth twitching.
"A lot!" Shiro confird with a clap of her hands.
"Well, here's the bad news," Ariel sighed. "We can't take all of this with us. We'll have to leave most of it behind".
Since only Shirazawa and Shiro had possessed Spatial Storage—and those skills were currently inaccessible—Ariel's own limited storage space was insufficient for such a hoard. The realization hit Shiro like a bolt from the blue. These were the treasures she had painstakingly gathered for over a year.
Pain! The sheer agony of it!
