Aphrodite appeared in a lush bamboo garden, the serene view would be perfect for rest and relaxation, but something ruined it.
A teapot that came flying in her direction was the culprit. Causally dodging the teapot, Aphrodite sighed again. Frankly, after meeting the trio, she lost track of how much she had sighed in the past few days.
Being around them was interesting but it is also extremely exhausting, be it taking mental damage from the trio's flirting or how much chaos the three can stir up.
She expected to see Diya fuming at this point like what she saw from Kabira bay as a massive tsunami was threatening to destroy its coast.
Resigned to seeing the destructive trio, Aphrodite slowly dragged herself into the 'training room' that both Benizaten and Diya were occupying.
After walking through the garden, Aphrodite reached the training hall. Its sight caused her to stand in sheer shock.
What was before her? Well, it was simple, Aphrodite expected to see Diya throwing a fit at Benizaten but to her absolute shock, it was the other way around.
The goddess was instructing Diya to write some ancient Japanese scriptures while ranting about her imaginary husband.
Due to this, Aphrodite was stunned speechless. Since when did this woman get married? How on earth did someone even marry her with the near-endless gods vying for her attention?
These were the only things Aphrodite thought of at this moment. She knew that Benizaten wanted to get married for a really long time.
Like herself, Benizaten had some special circumstances that prevented her from doing so. The main issue is her beauty, as a fellow goddess of beauty, she knew all too well how much of a 'blessing' it is.
She had wanted to get married to her love a few thousand years ago. But the jealous eyes of the gods always prevent that, due to that simple reason, she started training and managed to awaken a minor concept of war.
Though this did little to help her fight for her love, it showed all the gods watching her something. Somehow, she managed to find a way to refine her soul in an unprecedented manner.
This simple point made her mere existence even more coveted by the gods, this also made it so she could no longer meet her love, as the gazes upon her manner were practically eternal.
These brazen gods did not break her privacy as they were afraid that Benizaten would hate them. Other than that, they were practically circling her like vultures waiting to swoop her up at any chance.
The sole reason why she could rant this openly now is due to Diya. Her reputation alone scared off most of the minor gods that were eyeing Benizaten. Diya's showcase of power upon entering the residence drove another portion off.
Living up to her reputation, Diya scared away most gods with her icy, cold glare. The others were driven away by her casually threatening them with a war that she and her family would delight in.
Thanks to this, the poor goddess finally could vent all her pent-up frustrations, and that teapot that was thrown was simply the finisher.
Diya ignored the frustrated goddess all the while and concentrated on her training, only when the ranting goddess almost spilt tea on her did a fidget stare colder than the coldest tundras turn to scare Benizaten.
For those that are curious, the tsunami Aphrodite casually stopped was caused by Diya's annoyance when her training was being interrupted by her supposed trainer.
All the while, the two were doing their own thing, Aphrodite is silently staring at the pair, not knowing how to react to such a sight.
On one hand was a quiet and peaceful goddess ranting and whining worse than a child, on the other was a goddess concentrating and using her power to write the scriptures.
The process itself is refining and tempering her power into something more focused and dangerous.
