Chapter 762: [Bonus Chapter] Late Blooming
Thrudd was a bit of a late bloomer.
She was thousands of years old, but never expressed any romantic or sexual attraction to anyone, while her other siblings had already gotten married by now.
Thrudd always thought she had no idea of what she might like.
Because her family and herself were already the supernatural pinnacle of attractiveness, she cared about looks a lot less than most, if not everyone.
Besides… her real face didn't exactly look this pretty. She was a 350 meter tall Nevi'im. Most of their true faces weren't exactly erotic.
Thrudd had previously confided in her mother that she was worried she would never experience that romantic kind of love that almost everyone in their house seemed to have.
It was a real worry for her. She thought maybe she was broken in some way.
The only thing that Eris could tell her was that even if she never got into a romantic situation, there would still be nothing wrong with her.
Thrudd seemed a little bit less worried after their talk. But Eris never forgot, and always kept her daughter's wellbeing in the back of her mind.
Which was why from the moment that Eris sensed her baby girl be struck with love at first sight, she couldn't help but run here smiling.
Her gaze went back to the tall woman on the floor with an innocent look and super sharp teeth.
"Pardon me, madam..."
The man with the phoenix tattoo stood up while taking sure to keep himself covered while in the presence of so many ladies.
"I didn't mean to steal the heart of your fair young daughter at first glance... but you see, this sort of thing does tend to happen a bit when-"
"He's a chatty one, isn't he?" Eris shook her head.
"Sorry, ma. His personality is kind of stuck on douchebag." Yemaja said pitifully.
"W-What?!" Ziz snapped.
"Sit down before we introduce you to the colonel's eleven herbs and spices."
"Am I supposed to know what that means!?"
"You can find out." Mira made a fork and knife out of ice- terrifying the golden bird.
Eris sidestepped the talking bird and went towards the sleepy looking woman sitting on the floor.
"You must be Behemoth. It's nice to see the girls finally found you after all of their searching."
Behemoth kind of looked around the room slowly as if she were still trying to wake up and follow the sequence of events so far.
"Umm...those girls... your daughters..?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Who are they..? Who are you..?"
Eris resisted the urge to smirk. "You followed individuals you don't even know, to a destination you don't know, for no reason at all?"
Behemoth put her head down for a moment as if she were trying to think.
"Mmm... That sounds right." she finally nodded.
Eris resisted the urge to laugh at her carelessness.
She held out her hand and gestured for the twins to come to her side.
"What's the first thing you remember? Where do your memories start and end?" She asked her guest.
Behemoth seemed to really need to think hard about that one. But the answer did eventually come to her.
"I was made... from a mold. With Z-bird at my side..."
"My name is Ziz."
"I don't care..."
"Single braincell bitch..."
Behemoth punched Ziz in the Adams apple and he fell over wheezing.
"Ah.. What was I saying? Ah. The old man.. he told us to look for someone... two someones."
Eris pointed at both of her daughters.
"..." The girls both held up individual peace signs.
Behemoth's eyes finally shone with recognition.
"Oh... It is you."
Ziz: "No duh!"
Behemoth raised her large fists somewhat clumsily.
"...What are you doing?" Yemaja raised a brow.
"I am supposed to fight you and die. Our bodies will be used to feed all of the righteous souls of humani-"
"Yea, we're not doing that." Yemaja denied flatly. .net
"...Why?"
"I don't feel like dying to feed humans. Do you?"
Behemoth thought back far. To when her first generation of children all died so, so, long ago.
She was inconsolable back then.
"...Dying does look.. uncomfortable. I would like to avoid that. But then how will they survive?" she asked honestly.
"Our big sister's got a real knack for taking in strays, so we can leave all of that caretaking stuff to her, don't you think?"
"...That does sound preferable." she nodded.
"I thought so too." Yemaya smiled.
"But then... What do I do with myself?"
Mira finally chimed in. "Simple. You get married to my older sis!"
"Okay."
"Hell yea!"
Eris tossed a pillow at her daughter's head and nearly knocked her clean out.
In the same moment, she returned to her usual, normal smiling state.
"Please, don't mind her. You can just take things slowly and do whatever it is that
you
want. You're not a prisoner here, and we aren't your parents."
Behemoth nodded slowly while Ziz finally chirped up.
"Well what about me? Am I going to get set up with anyone now that I'm here?"
Eris: "There are hundreds of thousands of brothels all across Tehom. Over half also offer matchmaking services that I can personally vouch for."
Yemaja: "We also have a new buff grandma, and a super buff demon uncle who both eat arrogant little shits like you for breakfast. Take your pick."
"...Maybe I'll just be by myself for a bit."
"Suit yourself."
Eris ran her fingers through the hair of her twin daughters proudly. "So where did you find them? It couldn't have been somewhere easy to stumble upon."
Yemaya's brow wrinkled. "Ireland actually... About three to four hundred meters underground. They were statues."
"Oh? How in the world did the two of you end up down there?" Eris asked curiously.
Suddenly, the mood changed completely.
Behemoth and Ziz lowered their heads and their moods became dark and distant.
"…Demons." She finally said. "Demons captured us and harvested materials from our bodies."
