“…Hai…Yes. Well then…yes.”
Jal came up to her after making sure Eris disconnected the oracle.
“How did it go?”
“No problem. Everything is going as planned.”
Jal nodded at Eris’s confirmation.
What Eris was confirming to Kousuke was the details regarding this Divine Judgment.
“So it will be Kousuke who decides what the Judgment will be?”
“Of course, since he is the one directly involved in the Divine Judgment.”
There would be no complaints from the other Goddesses regarding this.
The content of the Judgment has not yet been decided, but there would be no complaints from anyone about the Judgment Kousuke decided to make.
What the Temple of the Kingdom of Gates was attempting to do was not to undermine Goddesses, but to drag Kousuke into the open as a God.
They hoped that if they could control Kousuke, they would gain more power.
That alone would make one ask what they were thinking, but unfortunately, the Goddesses could not appear in the world unless there was something special happening.
The descent of the Goddesses would be one of them, but unless the conditions were met, it could not be carried out easily.
This time, the Kingdom of Gates was trying to fulfill those conditions.
Not in a good way, but in a bad way.
The Kingdom of Gates could not be brought to a halt without a great deal of trouble.
The Goddesses could do so many things if they got serious, but to go to the trouble of causing a natural disaster for such a thing would have an excessive impact on the world.
It would be much better to keep it within the limits of Divine Judgment.
“That’s all well and good, but… What about the descent?”
Jal’s question caused Eris to look reluctant.
“That’s… We’re going to make some adjustments now.”
“Wow. That’s a lot of work. Good luck…” What are you talking about? You will do it, right?” … What? Really?”
“Yes.”
Jal’s face twitched, and Eris nodded with a serious face.
So far, negotiations between Kousuke and the Kingdom of Gates had not yet begun.
So, it was not decided yet whether they would actually descend or not.
But the Goddesses would definitely descend during the Divine Judgment.
The conditions were already in place for that to happen.
The Goddesses in the Divine Realm had already reached the limit of their capacity to do their deeds.
From the Goddesses’ point of view, they themselves had come to pull the trigger.
No doubt negotiations would take place, and Divine Judgment would certainly be handed down.
As a result, it had also been decided that the Goddesses would descend upon the world.
The question was how that descent would take place.
The coordination would be done by Eris, of course, but neither Jal nor Spica could stand by and watch.

In the noisy hall, unusually, the three Great Goddesses were all twitching their faces.
In the case of the Goddesses, there was no shouting and confusion, as in the meetings of other countries.
When they spoke quietly like this, it was difficult for them to talk. In short, they seemed to be in a struggle.
To put it succinctly, they were struggling.
It would be the role of the Three Great Goddesses to take in all of this and somehow make it all work out….
Jal thought to herself, “It’s impossible to put all this together”.
After all, most of the existing Goddesses were gathered at this venue.
And all the Goddesses were making their own claims as they pleased.
If they were to descend only in one city, it would be possible to have them all show their faces at once, but that was not the case this time.
However, if all the Goddesses descended at once, there would be a great uproar on the ground, so such an event would rarely happen, even from the Goddesses’ point of view.
This time, they would descend to several cities around the world at the same time.
The decision as to which city and which Goddess would descend was completely up to them, and that was why there was such a commotion.
After all, the Goddesses in the divine realms rarely got a chance to descend.
Even if the reason for their descent was inconvenient, the Goddesses would always want to descend at the right moment.
One could say that a being like Kousuke was an exception to the rule.
Jal’s gaze flashed to Spica, who was quietly turning her head to look at Kousuke.
Spica was quietly shaking her head from side to side.
Eris, who was caught in between them, let out one sigh.
Spica and Jal, who were on both sides of her, saw this, and this time their faces twitched differently.
She was angry.
This situation definitely made Eris angry.
Eris rarely gets angry, but once she did, she was very scary.
If they could, they would not want to interact with an angry Eris, but they could not refuse to do so.
The two prayed that the other Goddesses would quickly notice Eris’ condition, but the Goddesses, preoccupied with their own affairs, were slow to do so.
After a while, however, the Goddesses closest to Eris quieted down.
They must have noticed Eris’ condition.
The wave spread, and eventually all the Goddesses gathered there quieted down.
Even though she was showing her anger, Eris was probably the only one who could make the noisy Goddesses quiet just by being silent.
Incidentally, in the case of Asura, the Goddesses never made noise from the beginning.
The fact that Asura was not around was because it had already been decided and there was no need for them to make a fuss.
So, when Eris saw that the hall had quieted down, she smiled.
Needless to say, everyone shuddered when they saw that expression.
“I think we’ve heard all of your opinions by now, so I think it’s time to decide, is that okay?”
There was no way anyone could disagree with his words, and one after another, the place where the Goddesses would descend and the Goddesses who would descend were decided.
♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦
After somehow successfully completing the descent into the world, Jal let out a huge sigh and plopped down at her desk.
“Hah. It’s done, it’s done.”
“That’s not a figure you want people to see.”
Spica saw the sight and looked at her with some sympathy.
The Three Great Goddesses had to coordinate the details, starting with the adjustment of the place where the Goddesses would descend.
Spica was in a similar frame of mind, although she did not dress like Jal, the quirky one.
Eris, who usually paid attention, looked at Jal with only a wry smile.
“You can’t let not only the people see it, but other Goddesses as well, you know?”
“Well, well, we’re the only ones here now, so why don’t you tolerate this much?”
It was Asura who said this with a smile.
Asura was not involved in this matter at all.
In the first place, Asura rarely got involved with humans, including the humanoid species.
If Asura were to act, it would only be to do something involving the Gods.
The only other time Asura might be involved would be when a new God was born, as in the case of Kousuke.
“Well, even so, that was barely enough.”
“Yes, it was. This will keep it down again for a while.”
The meaning of the conversation between Asura and Eris was that the wrath of the Gods had reached such a point
By passing judgment, it would mean that that anger had been appeased temporarily.
Even if the incident with Kousuke had not occurred, there was a great possibility that a descent or other action would have taken place in the near future.
But it was also true that this case reached its climax.
In fact, this kind of Divine Judgment happened many times in the past.
This happened not because mankind did not learn, but because of long-lost documents and poor oral traditions.
That said, it would not be forgiven, so Divine Judgment was held each time it happened.
“I don’t want that to happen again~”
“I wish for that as well.”
Eris responded to Jal’s complaint with heartfelt sympathy, but unfortunately, Asura felt that her wish would never be fulfilled.
