How Am I an Incompetent Goddess?! / Don't Scare Yourself

"I've solved a huge problem for you, you should be happy!"

Yuxian continued to look at her, still without saying a word.

Ishtar laughed a few times, then realized something was wrong and her laughter turned into an awkward laugh.

She said helplessly, "Okay, I admit I went a little too far."

Yuxian was still looking at her, but he didn't say anything.

Ishtar didn't know what Yuxian's situation was, but she wasn't very confident right now.

At this moment, Little Jeanne and the other children came out.

Little Jeanne said, "Master, she must be punished! She's really outrageous!"

Yuxian finally made a move; he turned around and glanced at Little Jeanne.

But he still didn't say anything.

Little Jeanne felt a little uneasy under Yuxian's gaze, sensing that something was amiss. She quickly called her companions and they left the place of trouble.

Yuxian ignored them and stopped looking at Ishtar. He walked alone toward Swan's residence.

This time, Ishtar has caused Swann a lot of trouble. As her Master, Yuxian must do something and go to apologize on Ishtar's behalf.

Although Ishtar's actions solved a problem for Yuxian in the end, they did leave Yuxian somewhat dissatisfied.

To put it nicely, she was willful; to put it bluntly, she was reckless and willful.

Yuxian could not remain indifferent to such behavior, as it would make it impossible for him to effectively restrain others in the future.

Chapter 27, Section 172: How could I be an incompetent goddess!

After returning from Swan's place, dinner was already prepared. Yuxian quietly took his seat, ate his meal in silence, and then left to go outside for a walk to clear his head.

Unlike the children of the Fairy Home who were excitedly discussing their recent trip, Little Jeanne and the others seemed a little distracted and listless.

They ate a few bites casually and then left their seats.

The six little ones gathered in the room once again for the second meeting of the Master's personal bodyguard team.

This time, they all seemed listless and lacked energy.

Illya lowered her head and said anxiously, "Master is angry, what should we do?"

"It's all that reckless goddess's fault! If she hadn't caused this mess, Master wouldn't be angry! He's ignoring us now..."

The Gretel points the finger at Ishtar, expressing dissatisfaction with her actions.

Little Jeanne reflected earnestly, "But the cause of this whole thing was us..."

Abby asked timidly, "Then what should we do?"

She was so anxious she was about to cry, filled with fear and dread. The thought that Yuxian would ignore her from now on filled her with sorrow.

Illya quickly comforted Abby, telling her not to be sad and that everyone would find a solution.

Little Jeanne said with a serious expression, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Let's go and apologize to the Master."

Her words resonated with everyone, and they also agreed that an apology was necessary.

But what method to use is the problem. Kuro said with difficulty, "Master is angry right now, what should we do?"

"It's definitely Jack's turn now!" Gretel turned her gaze to her good friend Jack.

Jack blinked his big, innocent eyes, looking a little aggrieved, and said, "Why..."

"Because Master likes you the most!" everyone answered in unison.

Jack said softly, "Mom treats us all the same..."

Yuxian doesn't treat the children differently, and they can sense that.

However, someone needed to step forward, and they all agreed that Jack was the most suitable candidate, so Jack became Yuxian's favorite child.

Jack blinked repeatedly, his little brain working rapidly.

"All right."

She readily accepted the task. Despite her usual carefree demeanor, she had her own little schemes at this moment.

With Jack leading the way, they set off without hesitation.

Jack walked in front, while the others followed behind, intending to secretly observe the situation beforehand so they could react flexibly.

Yuxian was lying on his back on the grass outside the house, looking at the stars in the sky.

Jack tiptoed closer. With her abilities, approaching Yuxian silently would have been a piece of cake, but she didn't choose that method this time. Instead, she used a very clumsy approach.

Yuxian noticed someone approaching, but he didn't turn around and continued gazing at the starry sky.

Jack shuffled over to Yuxian's side and lay down on the grass, just like Yuxian.

She lay on her side facing Yuxian, her big eyes gazing at Yuxian profile, blinking rapidly.

"Mother..."

Jack called out to Yuxian softly.

It was Little Jack. Yuxian recognized who it was and gently stroked Jack's head.

Jack wore a comfortable expression, his eyes narrowed, like a kitten being held in someone's arms.

"Sorry..."

Jack spoke softly about how they had encouraged the design of Ishtar.

Yuxian listened quietly to Jack's words. He could roughly guess that these little guys were involved in this matter, and now he finally understood the whole story.

He chuckled silently, sat up, and said in a deliberately serious tone towards the distance, "Don't hide there, all of you come here!"

Little Jeanne and the others secretly observed from a distance, but they were not well hidden. When Yuxian realized that Jack was the only one coming to his side, he guessed that they would also be nearby.

Yuxian didn't believe that Jack would come to apologize to him alone. These kids would never Independent Action; they were now a small group.

If someone were to Independent Action, Yuxian would worry that they might have a conflict or argument.

Hearing Yuxian's call, and knowing they had been exposed, the children dawdled over.

They lowered their heads, displaying a sincere attitude of admitting their mistakes, leaving Yuxian at a loss for words.

Yuxian sighed, shook his head, and said irritably, "You guys..."

Little Jeanne said, "Master, we made a mistake this time. Please punish us. We will definitely not resist!"

So you actually want to resist...

Yuxian said irritably, "Don't always try to cause trouble. It's alright this time it's Ishtar, but what will you do next time you encounter someone who's not easy to talk to!"

"We're not afraid..." a voice murmured softly.

"Huh?!" Yuxian's eyes widened as he exclaimed, his voice coming through his nose, "How dare you talk back!"

He suddenly raised his voice and said with a stern face, "You really aren't afraid? Who in Chaldea is more powerful than you?"

"You can make a ruckus in Emiya's kitchen, you can play in Da Vinci's workshop, and you can smash up the studies of Hans Christian Andersen and Shakespeare."

"Are they really powerless against you?"

"They're just not going to bother with you!"

Yuxian always thought they were just a little playful, which was normal for children, and he wouldn't hold it against them. The other members of Chaldea would also give them some leeway.

However, if they take this for granted, or assume that everyone is afraid of them, then Yuxian absolutely cannot tolerate it and must correct their thinking.

When Yuxian raised his voice, the children all lowered their heads. They were not afraid of anything, but what they feared most was Yuxian getting angry.

"We know we were wrong..."

The children murmured their apologies.

"Oh dear, Master is showing off to a child."

Ishtar walked over from a distance and happened to hear Yuxian loudly scolding the children, so he made a sarcastic remark.

Yuxian glanced at her irritably, then turned her attention to her. "I haven't even said anything to you yet!"

"You're supposed to be a goddess, can't you be a little more mature? Stop acting on a whim all the time?"

"Your reputation as an incompetent goddess is about to spread Chaldea!"

Yuxian showed Ishtar no respect whatsoever and immediately began to reprimand her.

"How am I an incompetent goddess! This is slander! This is defamation!"

Upon hearing this, Ishtar immediately became furious. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Whoever spoke ill of me behind my back, I will definitely show them what I'm capable of!"

Yuxian stared at her coldly, without saying a word.

Seeing Yuxian's expression, Ishtar had no choice but to shut up.

She gently pursed her lips and said, "Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time, I definitely will!"

There will be a next time?!?

Yuxian's eyes widened in surprise.

Section 173, Chapter Twenty-Eight: Don't Scare Yourself

Distracted by Ishtar, Yuxian let the little ones off the hook and stopped pursuing the matter further. The message had been conveyed, and they weren't children who didn't understand anything.

"Go back and rest," Yuxian waved for them to leave.

Moreover, what's done is done, and dwelling too much on what has already happened is pointless.

The children breathed a sigh of relief; they were really afraid that Yuxian would get angry.

These kids, who are usually fearless, only show this kind of emotion when they are in Yuxian situation.

In their hearts, Yuxian is number one. If Yuxian ignores them, it would be the end of the world for them.

The children said to Yuxian with concern, "Then we're leaving. Master, please get some rest and don't be angry anymore."

Yuxian nodded, feeling somewhat comforted; these children, after all, still had his heart with him.

Yuxian looked at the remaining Ishtar again, Ishtar now also had an expression of admitting her mistake.

"I know I was wrong!" Ishtar said coquettishly.

However, her attitude of "I know I'm wrong, but I'm determined not to change" made Yuxian feel a stomachache.

It was impossible to change the goddess's personality, so Yuxian had no choice but to give up.

Despite being a goddess favored by the gods, Ishtar is actually quite childlike in nature.

Instead of hoping she can become more mature and stable, it's more reliable to hope she can be this lucky every time.

"This is so hard!"

Yuxian deeply felt that being the Master of Chaldea was not an easy job.

He's already overwhelmed by just a few people; he can't even imagine what it would be like if everyone gathered together.

The Amazon Queen challenges Achilles to a fight, Mordred picks a fight with Artoria, and Elizabeth Báthory and Nero hold a concert...

Thinking about all this, Yuxian's face turned green.

He was completely scaring himself, and the most amazing thing is that he actually scared himself.

Ishtar caused such a big mess, Yuxian felt he had no face to continue living there, so he said goodbye.

The matter here has been mostly resolved. Whether it's the 'beasts' on the ground or the status of the Golden Fairies, they've all been taken care of by Ishtar's Golden Star Cannon.

In a sense, Ishtar truly deserves to be called a goddess of great fortune, as everything seems to be developing in the direction she desires.

The news that Yuxian had proposed to leave quickly spread throughout the Fairy Home.
