Chapter 72: Calling Her Out.

  With her entire family (minus Faith) now on the cusp of Evolving into Highest Goddesses, Celia and the others took to relaxing.

  Those who liked adventure, such as Lia… went off to further unite this land. The group honestly wouldn’t be surprised if, soon, this entire world was ruled under one banner…

  Celia: “Ah, there you are, dear.” She said with a motherly smile.

  Ruina: “…” “If she wasn’t a Supreme Goddess… I’d have someone to yell at for ratting me out.” She inwardly sighed.

  Currently, Celia relocated, and her family were now staying in a large, regal, and royal estate. With how vast of a place it is, typically, it’d be hard to find someone within it. But, not for a Higher Being, let alone ones at Celia’s Evolution.

  Celia: “Sitting here, all by yourself… is something wrong?” She asked with great concern, gently rubbing her daughter’s head.

  Ruina: “N-no.” She instantly denied, flustered, holding back tears.

  Besides the final missing wife, the whole family was together. This, of course, hurt Ruina. Nemu is still in a coma. Meanwhile… Ruina was living it up, having a grand and happy time with her loved ones.

  Celia: “Can I help you find your wife?” She seriously suggested.

  Ruina: “Eh?!” She exclaimed in shock, jumping up from the ground, before stumbling backwards back onto it.

  Celia: “Daughter of mine… you’ve been making that same face, that aura… for weeks now.” She added with a wistful, motherly tone.

  Ruina: “…What do you mean?” She replied with a confused tone and expression. “I specifically told everyone to NOT mention Nemu… How is it that mom knows about her?…” She thought in a daze.

  Before explaining, Celia picked her daughter up from the ground, used Cleaning Magic, and then teleported away. Rather than the backwoods of this estate, their new location was that of the tearoom.

  Celia: “Simply put… Ruina, what I meant is that… you look like how I look whenever I am missing one of my wives.” She finally answered, with some whimsy.

  Ruina: “…” “Even without her memories, Celia is just far too empathic towards women. If you’re female, then there are no lies before Celia…” She expressed in her mind with an odd respect.

  Celia: “Why’re you looking at me like I am some overly holy being? I am your mother!!!… Now, about your wife…” She exclaimed, slightly disturbed by Ruina’s gaze, before shifting back into mother-mode once more.

  The daughter was silent for only a minute longer, giggling like a fool for two entire minutes afterward. Celia waited for the girl to “calm” down, and then the important discussion resumed.

  Ruina: “Her name’s Nemu, and you, in your last life, helped us get together. Anyway, she is in a coma, and won’t wake up.” She finally explained, quickly feeling a weight lifted off of her shoulders.

  Celia: “Coma?” She repeated with a cute, confused head tilt.

  Ruina: “( ? _ ? )”

  A second later, Ruina recalled that Celia is from a fantasy world, and many things, as well as various words, didn’t yet exist. And neither did any one of the family give her such knowledge just yet…
