Chapter 243
"After all, you don't have many friends right now..."
Seeing that Kama had shown her this expression for the first time, Kavia really wanted to tell the Love God directly:
Actually, even though I am now a reincarnated being, I still have memories.
Mother Kama). Jpg.
Chapter 305 The Proxy God of Love, Kama's Trial.
I heard the sound of watering again after a long time.
In a state of immense joy, Kama turned over in bed.
Although the sound of dripping water wouldn't disturb Kama's sleep, the Love God still felt at ease only after hearing the sound so early in the morning.
Because that means the guy you adopted is already up, and next he'll be calling you to get up.
At that moment, Kama suddenly heard the sound of watering stop.
That's a bit strange.
According to the time, there should be Treta Yuga and twenty seconds left... Is it earlier today?
Love God was utterly confused, but he didn't think much of it and continued to stay in bed waiting for the service of being woken up.
However, as time passed second by second, Kama waited for Treta Yuga and twenty seconds without hearing the familiar voice. After waiting another ten seconds, still no sound came. So he immediately peeked out from under the covers and looked at the door with disbelief, but there was still nothing there.
Seeing this, Kama, lying on the bed with his disheveled hair, turned grim.
"If you don't come soon, I'm going to get angry."
There was no sound.
"... I'll only allow it this once."
There was still no sound.
"I want to repeat myself, please don't think that I'm saying this because I want you to do this... I'm saying this for your own good, okay?"
Kama's voice was now somewhat weaker, but Love God still stood with a gloomy expression, arms crossed, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Oh~ you're going to regret this... you definitely will."
So Kama got out of bed in great displeasure, went outside, and the gentle sunlight shone into every corner of the world.
The thick air seemed still drowsy.
Kama looked at the mountain covered with flowers, clicked his tongue, and then turned his gaze to a house not far away.
In the humid summer wind, the Willow Tree swayed, their slender Leaf brushing against the windows of the cottage.
Kama stretched out his hand and gently squinted his eyes.
This is the house that Kavia built herself after she grew up, after the Love God adopted her reincarnation. From then on, the two never slept together again.
Kama was quite moved by this, thinking how Kama had grown so much in just over a decade of sleeping with him, while he himself had remained unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years. Was it true that the constitutions of humans and gods were indeed different...?
When Kama sneaked to the window of the house that belonged to the reincarnation of Kavia and looked inside, he found it to be empty.
In that instant, Kama rubbed his incredulous eyelids and immediately began to scan his surroundings, looking around frantically, trying to find the person who should be there and call out to them.
"Aya."
A hint of anxiety lingered in Love God's voice.
After adopting Kavia's reincarnation, Kama pondered for a long time what name to give him.
Calling him Kavia directly? It wasn't impossible, but it felt strange. Kama felt that he would tremble when he called Kavia's reincarnation by that name in the manner of an elder.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Kama suggested that he be called Kaya, or if that didn't work, Maya would also be fine.
However, Kama himself called out "Aya" the most often.
Kama was extremely agitated by the sudden disappearance of Kavia, who had suddenly stopped doing things according to the schedule that had been in place for decades. At first, he jogged along the mountaintop, and then quickly ran off the mountain.
During this process, Love God wondered if something unexpected had happened? But he had clearly heard the sound of watering flowers just moments before.
Could it be...?
Kama suddenly thought of a conjecture that was hard to accept.
Was it because he had made Adam his Proxy God of Love for so many years, and he was too tired, so he left in a fit of anger?
At first, Kama carried the infant Kavia on his back because he was worried about him. As for the milk the child needed... Kama obviously didn't have any, so he had to 'borrow' it, from animals and humans.
In short, for the first few years, Kama carried him everywhere while feeding him in bottles of milk he had 'borrowed' during his spare time. The expression on Love God's face always shifted between happiness and displeasure. Then, perhaps because he got used to carrying him, he started holding him to sleep at night.
When Kavia's reincarnation grew up, and was eight years old according to human accounts, Kama gave Kavia his special weapon Arrow of Love, and his pet Cockatoo, saying, "From now on, you are the Proxy God of Love. Do a good job and don't let me down. I will always be watching over you."
In other words, Kama simply abandoned his responsibilities.
What could Kavia possibly say about this?
Kama had no choice but to adopt his reincarnation; he understood that after a million years of hard work, it was only natural to feel weary.
He was quite interested, though.
Originally, Kama did intend to rest and relax, but seeing how hard he was working to raise Kavia, he couldn't bear it. Sometimes, he would subtly and cheerfully ask, "If you feel very tired, beg me and say that without the help of the incredibly powerful and great Kama, I can't survive... Heh heh, I'm only saying this for your own good."
However, all I got in return was Kavia shaking her head and her pet Cockatoo making a comment.
"No, Master, the young master did a much better job than you. Ten of you couldn't match the young master. You're here to help the young master? I'm not exaggerating, Master, you've been living in the mountains for over ten years, having the young master cook for you every day, wake you up, wash your face, and even tie your ribbons. You're just making things worse—"
"You dare talk back to me? You need a beating, don't you? Believe me or not, I'll stew you right now... Besides, this is just for training..."
Kama uttered these cold words to the Parrot on his shoulder, then, looking at the rejected Kavia, returned to his house in annoyance and went straight to sleep.
As for the Cockatoo, which was trembling with fear at those words, Kavia stroked it and said:
"Kama was just joking, don't take it seriously."
A joke? No, little master. Although I'm a Deity who's tough on the outside but soft on the inside, I really did want to stew me just now...
Of course, the Cockatoo couldn't say these words aloud; it just continued to tremble uncontrollably.
Back to the present, Kama feelings were incredibly complicated due to Kavia's sudden departure, wondered if Kavia had just been putting on a brave face all along.
Breathing became difficult.
The thought of such a possibility made Kama feel a tightness in his chest.
Kama never imagined that one day that person would leave him.
If I hadn't been his absolute protector from the moment he was born until he became aware of things, I wouldn't be so unable to let go.
I care about him when he's sad, even though I've never seen him sad.
Praising someone for doing a good deed is a common practice.
I get a hug as long as I reach out my hand; it seems like I'm the one who reaches out more often...
Kama has always cared for her like a close relative would in the human world, at least that's what the Love God thinks. As someone who is superior and greater than his child, he needs to have a role model... The reason he relinquished his responsibilities was only for training. Letting her Amaterasu is also a form of training. Yes, that's right, it's all training.
I just want to be a little lazy, which I'm sure Aya will accept.
Kama's eyes darted around frantically, not missing a single change even while running.
They finally stopped.
As if relieved, Love God sighed and clutched his rapidly beating heart.
Somewhere in the mountains, a young man is surrounded by many animals. He sits cross-legged on an open ground, his thighs supporting his arms and his cheeks.
Rabbits, dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, tigers, wolves... all sorts of animals rushed over, seemingly welcoming him. Almost all the animals were moving freely indoors, or leaning against each other and looking towards the center, presenting a harmonious and joyful scene.
The silver-haired youth was delighted, but Kama, who witnessed this scene, was also delighted. His expression changed even more dramatically; his eyebrows drooped, and a smile naturally appeared on his lips, but it only lasted for a second before he put on a gloomy and displeased expression.
Kama kept gazing at his back, as if he could never tire of looking at him no matter how long he stared.
It's no wonder he's a reincarnation; he's practically identical, except the Himalayas Mountains aura on his body is a little fainter... If I hadn't happened to sense it back then, I probably wouldn't have known.
Kama thought to himself.
The Lord of the Himalayas once practiced asceticism atop the Himalayas Mountains, was someone who seemed to exist in a different world from himself.
It is something that can only exist on the Holy Mountain or within the Lila, something that is difficult or even impossible to approach.
But now, things are different...
Just then, the Cockatoo perched on Kavia's shoulder chirped softly, perhaps to remind its little master that its owner had arrived.
Good morning, Kama.
Kavia turned and stood up, calling out, and the animals that had been surrounding him parted to make way for him to come to Kama.
Kama, arms crossed, shouted with a grim expression:
"Why did you sneak out today? I didn't agree to this trivial matter. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Love God deliberately spoke as if Wrath, but didn't show it properly. So, even though he said that, he was actually still very concerned.
I want Kama to sleep a little longer.
Kavia responded to the Love God who nurtured her reincarnation in this way.
That's a lie.
Kama glanced at Kavia's face and muttered to himself.
However, if we were to weigh emotions against reason, Kama could generally accept this explanation. After all, he hadn't hidden anything from himself about meeting anyone, just some nearby animals. Although they were unhappy, they could barely accept it.
"... If I'm too free, I might go back, okay? This is so boring."
Kama said this, but his lips twitched slightly, "Come and help me comb my hair."
Kavia nodded in agreement, after all, this was one of the many things Kama had asked him to do over the years, and it had become a routine matter for him.
This time, however, Kama did not sit down and lower his head to wait for his hair to be combed. Instead, he stared directly at Kavia with his Crimson eyes and said firmly:
"Not here, but at home, where you used to comb my hair."
Was the voice too forceful for Kama? Was it deliberately emphasized to emphasize his own specialness?
To this day, Kavia still remembers the expression on Kama's face and his mutterings on the day he adopted her...
"Hoo—" Kavia exhaled a sigh, smiling as she said:
"I see."
So the two, one big and one small, followed their footsteps toward that familiar destination.
Despite the languid summer sun, Kavia's steps remained brisk, while Kama's seemed somewhat unsteady.
It's like taking each step to confirm the home you've lived in for hundreds of thousands of years.
Then, by the river outside Kama's house, the little Love God sat on a rock and took out a comb he had obtained from a human and handed it to Kavia. Kavia then bent down, held the god of Love God's head, and began to comb Kama's hair.
To be honest, as Deity, Kama shouldn't need to do this at all. But perhaps because he saw humans doing it in the first few years, or perhaps for some other reason, he asked Kavia to do it for him every day, ostensibly as part of training the Proxy God of Love of love.
Neither of them said anything more while their hair was being combed.
In the comfortable breeze, looking at his face and Kavia's head reflected on the river, Kama happily hummed a little tune, perhaps he had heard it from somewhere, or maybe he was improvising to match the rhythm of combing his hair.
At the same time, the seasonal chirping of cicadas began to rise.
The loud, powerful, buzzing sound seemed to fill the entire world, and the light was so oppressive that one longed to enjoy the refreshing breeze.
Suddenly, after finishing combing his hair, Kama turned his head and looked at Kavia with a displeased expression, and spoke:
"And also, brush your teeth."
Kama then took out a toothbrush and handed it to Kavia.
"I can do it, I can do it."
The young man caught it, and then proceeded according to the usual procedure.
Although Kama is petite and has a sharp tongue, he is very bold, or rather, very straightforward.
Because he cared so much, Kama slowly reached his hand towards the corner of his mouth and hooked his lips with his finger.
"You'd better swipe it properly for me."
After all the 'testing' that Kama had asked of him had been done, Kavia took the Cockatoo and Kama's Arrow of Love and went on to act as the Proxy God of Love, while Kama himself remained in the mountains.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the Love God does nothing. Kama plants flowers, and these endless flowers covering the mountains and fields are what the Love God himself has planted over the years.
