Chapter 330

"Ah..." Li Pu glanced at Kevin expressionlessly. Although he seemed to have calmed down and was able to talk, was Kevin really like that?

"Um~" Li Pu asked Belldandy in a low voice, "Belldandy, didn't you say Kevin wouldn't wake up until noon?"

"Because Mr. Kevin is a demigod," Belldandy said naturally. "If he were just an ordinary human, it would be tomorrow at the earliest, but it seems that Mr. Kevin is indeed the strongest human."

Oh, right, Belldandy said that before.

"Hey! You brat." Kevin said, seeing Ying Yi's lack of reaction, "We've already said all this, and you're just going to stand there like a mountain? Two women on each side? You've got your hands on Belldandy, but you're planning to take my Mei too? If..."

"Kevin!" Li Pu knew things couldn't go on like this.

Even if Kevin is right, you have to consider the context, right? To ordinary people in this world, Kevin is just a weirdo with severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Li Pu didn't want to be implicated by Kevin and be seen as having a teenage angst.

"Shut up! Sit here!" Li Pu said very briefly, making room for himself.

Upon hearing Li Pu's words, Kevin burst into tears! So many years! He... he had finally met Mei again. It truly felt like living in a dream.

It feels so unreal, like floating on clouds.

"MEI!" Kevin exclaimed, overwhelmed with excitement.

"Alright, alright, don't get excited." Li Pu patted the chair and said, "I know what you're thinking, but many things aren't as you think."

Even if he can calm down a little, Kevin still basically can only be coaxed.

It feels a bit like coaxing a child.

Is this really the Ancestor Kevin from the game?

"Come on, be good," Li Pu said, "Be quiet."

"Okay~ okay~ I got it." Kevin jumped in with obvious satisfaction and sat comfortably between Li Pu and Ying Yi.

He was completely devoid of his previous arrogance, entirely...

This completely disappointed the vast majority of boys.

Seeing Kevin suddenly become so well-behaved, sensible, and without his arrogance, Ying Yi was utterly speechless. How could he have changed so drastically so suddenly, when they first met, he was so wild?

Could it be...?

'Is this the legendary simp?' Ying Yi and most of her classmates suddenly thought.

It's quite surprising how someone who seemed so unruly could suddenly become like this; the power of love is truly astounding.

"Sigh..." Li Pu sighed again. What a hassle.

"Mei? What are you sighing about?" Seeing Li Pu sigh, Kevin promptly offered his concern.

"No, it's nothing." Li Pu shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later. This is a school, you should know where you are, right? Since you're here, you should abide by the school rules."

"I don't want anything to embarrass me."

"How could that be!" Kevin immediately declared righteously, "Anyone who dares to embarrass my MEI, I'll make them embarrass me!"

"Alright~ I was talking about you." Li Pu shook his head helplessly. Could this Kevin be an idiot?

"Hey~ you... it seems like you've taken my seat, could you move aside?"

Just then, a voice that Li Pu was not very familiar with interrupted at an inopportune moment.

That voice even sounds a bit provocative.

Chapter 378 Human, Demigod, God

If we're talking about anyone in "My Goddess" who really does something reckless...

That must be Sanyu Sayako. "Ah! My Goddess" isn't without villains; even typical romance dramas usually include one or more villains between the male and female leads. The villains are important in highlighting conflict, fostering romance, and driving the plot forward.

Therefore, strictly speaking, there are villains in "My Goddess", such as Sanyu Sayako, Aoshima Kigen, and Mara.

Mara and Sanyu Sayako are basically characters who constantly cause trouble for the protagonist throughout the entire series.

Mara is defined by her being Demon Race, and the conflict between Demon Race and God Race is inherent. Therefore, Mara is more of a tool in the story; her goals and initial intentions are unclear, leading readers to describe her as an emotionless event-generating machine. This aligns with Mara's character design, while Sayako Mido is different.

This woman's initial intention and purpose were very simple: to maintain her sense of superiority at school.

The arrival of Belldandy was enough to shatter the popularity and sense of superiority she had built up with her beauty and family background. Now that Vivian has arrived, her rather laughable sense of superiority has been swept straight into the sewer.

She didn't have the chance in the past, and Li Pu doesn't want to ask now.

'Do you really know who you're dealing with?' Li Pu looked at the woman coldly.

Because of her naivety and lack of understanding of the world, Belldandy was completely oblivious to Sayako's provocation, while Li Pu could see it clearly.

She really didn't know how to respond to this provocation.

"What a foolish woman," Kevin spoke first. He stood up, arms crossed, and looked down at Sayako, taking advantage of his height. "My love for Mei can't be seduced by someone as cheap as you..."

"Shut up! Sit down!" Li Pu's words silenced Kevin obediently sat down.

Originally, this matter was supposed to be resolved by Belldandy using her natural air of naivety, but why did Kevin, that idiot, have to be the first to speak? Now, even if she didn't want to, she had no choice but to speak.

"This student," Li Pu said, putting his hands together in a solemn manner, "When reserving a seat in college, people always want to leave something of their own to show that the seat is taken."

"What did this student leave at our seats?" Li Pu even deliberately emphasized the word "we" when he said, "And why 'we'? Does 'we' refer to me, Belldandy, or everyone between me and Belldandy?"

"Does your body size require such a wide space to sit down?"

"Of course!" Li Pu said cheerfully, "We can make room for you, you can sit in the middle."

Anyway, as long as you're not embarrassed, nobody here will be embarrassed~

"Although I didn't use anything to reserve a spot," Sanyu said, seemingly unwilling to back down, "There's a rule for everything. You're a new face, and I won't argue with newcomers."

"I'm just following the usual procedure, and I hope this student understands." Sanyu said naturally, "I sit in this seat most of the time. I don't really like to sit in other people's seats. And of course, I don't need such a spacious seat when I'm alone."

"I hope you and your sister can discuss it and see who can give up their seat," Sanyu emphasized deliberately. "Taking someone else's seat without permission will cause trouble for them."

Trouble...

If one were to use the culture of the Celestial Empire, they might not be able to grasp the weight of this statement, but causing trouble for others here is indeed a very serious matter.

Moreover, Japan is indeed a place where you might not consider it traditional, but it is very traditional.

"Huh? Is this student really bothered?" Belldandy, still oblivious to the conflict, stood up and said, "In that case..."

"Belldandy!" Li Pu said suddenly and sternly, "There's nothing to worry about."

While this Sanyu Sayako is far from being a truly wicked villain, she is definitely a woman who won't give up easily, and she's capable of anything to reclaim her throne as the academy queen... well, not really, but she's capable of a lot of things.

"This student, your name seems to be Sanyu Sayako, right?" Li Pu called her by name directly and said, "I heard that your family is quite well-off."

"Oh~" Sanyu seemed a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect this classmate to know. Although my family's financial situation can't be described as particularly good, I still hope that this classmate has the self-awareness."

"You woman!" Kevin couldn't sit still any longer. This strange woman had been repeatedly provoking his lovely Mei ever since she appeared.

How could he tolerate it?

"Sit down, Kevin!" Li Pu's shout made Kevin reluctantly hold back.

"Oh my~ Oh my~" As if she had found a breakthrough, Sanyu deliberately raised her voice and said, "It seems that this classmate has tamed her boyfriend very well."

"Taming?" Kevin said dismissively, "The love between Mei and me is beyond the comprehension of a mortal like you."

"Foolish! Although I don't know your family's financial situation, I can guarantee that your family's wealth and influence are less than one ten-thousandth of mine and MEI's."

Kevin's arrogant demeanor surprised Miyu, but then she recalled the white-haired man's ridiculously childish remarks she'd overheard before entering, and chuckled inwardly. Just a mere chuunibyou. He's probably just conjuring up some strange, massive power in his head again. Can a power in the mind compare to reality?

"Miss Sanyu." Li Pu didn't have much patience for this woman.

She disliked these pointless disputes; the idea of a school queen was beneath her notice. But Belldandy's stance made it impossible for her to completely distance herself.

If it was unavoidable, she decided to resolve this pointless dispute in her own way.

"You have three choices," Li Pu said with a smile. "First, choose a seat to sit in the lower class. Second, sit in the middle of us; we don't mind that. Third, be carried away."

"What if I choose to insist that you give up your seats?" Sayako asked before Li Pu could finish speaking.

"Looks like you chose the third option," Li Pu said, leaning back in his chair. "Kevin, could you explain this to this young lady..."

"What does it mean to be human, demigod, or god!"

"Oh, right, be gentle."

Chapter 379 The Strongest Human

Sanyu Sayako was carried out, both in a practical and physical sense.

"What... what happened?" Ying Yi, looking completely bewildered.

Of course, the students watching the scene also looked completely bewildered. What had they just witnessed? Sanyu Sayako and Vivian, one of the twin sisters, were arguing, and then Vivian seemed to say something that sounded a bit melodramatic...

And that was it.

Apart from Sanyu Sayako suddenly fainting, they didn't see anything else.

"Sanyu doesn't look very healthy," Li Pu said matter-of-factly. "It looks like he's anemic, has low blood sugar, and is weak due to uncontrolled dieting in his attempt to lose weight. It's really heartbreaking!"

She said she felt sorry for him, but her face showed no sympathy or pity whatsoever; in fact, she seemed to have a sense of vengeful pleasure.

'It can't be... right?' Ying Yi had a gut feeling that something must have happened! He turned his gaze to Kevin, the man beside him known as a 'demigod' and 'the strongest human.' So, something must have happened in that fleeting moment when no one was paying attention!

Of course~

Kevin made a chop gesture and said, "In just a fraction of a second, that woman can faint for whatever reason we want."

"This is already very lenient, if she weren't just an ordinary human being."

"Otherwise," Kevin said casually, "I would be happy to conjure up a very 'realistic' statue for my MEI, the kind that is 'lifelike'."

Seeing Kevin's nonchalant attitude, Ying Yi couldn't help but feel a chill. For the first time, she felt Kevin's indifference to human life, as if Sanyu Sayako's life was nothing important to him, as if Kevin was just a plaything to please Vivian.

If killing Sanyu Sayako would make Vivian happy, he would not hesitate to do it.

Sayako is standing here perfectly fine only because Vivian doesn't want to see blood.

"Vivian." Although Belldandy was simple-minded, she was not unaware of the deeper meaning in her words. She said with a serious expression, "Miss Sayako is not a bad person. As Goddess, doing this is not a good thing. It seriously violates the principles of Goddess. We are Goddess who bring happiness to mankind, not demons who bring disaster."

Li Pu didn't say anything; she didn't want to argue about it, nor was there any need to.

Perhaps this is why Belldandy is the Goddess of wishes.

"Rather than bringing happiness to humanity," Kevin said dismissively, "It's more accurate to say that your existence is merely to maintain the balance of power. Humans are positioned in the middle between the Demon Race and the God Race, while the God Race are at both ends of that middle. Gods, humans, and demons together maintain the balance of the fundamental power of this world."

"Whether it's granting happiness to humanity or taking someone's life, as long as this basic balance is not broken, there is no essential difference between the God Race and the Demon Race."

"The boundary between two races with the same power base is not so clear-cut. God Race can become Demon Race if needed, and vice versa."

Kevin's words quickly made Belldandy's expression turn sour. While Belldandy was gentle, she wasn't the type to remain unperturbed no matter what happened. Even if Kevin's words were entirely correct, it was clearly inappropriate to say them at this moment.

"Kevin." Li Pu held Kevin back; she didn't want the conversation to continue any further. If it continued, the topic would not only go on indefinitely but would also escalate some unimportant conflicts.

"Look, the teacher is here, it's time for class."

The old professor who always liked to ask Ying Yi questions came to class as usual. His timely appearance quickly cooled down the seemingly escalating conflict. But for Ying Yi, he had already witnessed the Goddess's gentle side, her powerful side, and now he was witnessing her cruel side.

It's unclear how much this cruelty, which wasn't shown in the original work, will affect Ying Yi's mindset and thoughts, and it's none of Li Pu's or Kevin's business.

They don't belong here, and eventually they will leave and return to their own world.

There's so much more for them to do in their world.

"I've always been watching over you," Kevin said with deep affection. "Mei, do you know how much I've longed to meet you again during these thousand years you've been gone?"

"Always?" Li Pu said, "You mean the Sea of Quantum?"

Li Pu vaguely remembered that Seele was observing different World Bubble within the Sea of Quantum in the storyline. Since Kevin was also in the Sea of Quantum, it meant he was also observing different World Bubble? Wait, wasn't this guy constantly trying to break through the labyrinth and leave the Sea of Quantum?

"If you've been following the Sea of Quantum," Li Pu said, now finding it easier to talk to him, "Then you should know about my affairs, right?"

If Kevin has been keeping an eye on the Sea of Quantum all along.

"I know." Kevin said through gritted teeth, "That unfilial grandson Siegfried! And that delusional guy Raiden Ryoma, as for Otto I will give him a decent ending. Not only Otto, but also those guys, I won't make things difficult for you, Mei."

"I'll make sure they're treated very well, if they are..."

"Is this the issue I'm referring to?" Li Pu felt that the topic was getting more and more out of control.

"Oh, I know." Kevin suddenly said, as if he had just realized something. "You mean the children? Don't worry, I will love them as much as their deceased father did."
