(POV Sen Kami)
"Haaaaaaah"
"My wife, our little daughter is clearly hiding things from me."
"Our daughter has never been disobedient towards her father until meeting this wretched mortal swine. What do I do my wife? Am I really too overprotective of her? Is it really that strange for her to not be married for two billion years?"
"Husband, our daughter is no fool there naturally must be a reason why she was so insistent for the sake of that little mortal. In fact, her volunteering to find a disciple when you mentioned it was strange in its own way. Can't you just trust your daughter's judgement and let her have her way? Besides the child she picked isn't so bad, is he? He was brave enough to ask for her hand in marriage right before a god as a mere mortal. He is definitely not a coward, right?"
"My wife how can you be so blind? He was dead at the time, if he were alive would it be possible for him to show no fear? He probably naively thought that as long as he was dead nothing could be done to him, right?"
"Even if that may be true… isn't he kind of cute?"
"CUTE?! HIM?! He's just a brat with a vile tongue! Where are you looking?"
"Well... rather than seeking power he merely asked for a betrothal gift from you like a child playing a little prank. He didn't even ask for much or push things too far and unhesitatingly gave it to our little daughter."
"Hmmp if he hesitated for a moment I would have wiped him out of existence that instant regardless of what action our daughter took."
"Hah, our poor daughter. Our daughter may be a beauty, but she was met with nothing but misfortune from birth. She was, after all, born as a goddess of calamity. She should know better than anyone that even if she were to have a husband they would only face unending calamities. Is our daughter destined to become a widow in the future?"
"Our child, a child born from the goddess of love and fortune and the god of war. If we had a bit of foresight perhaps we would have realized in advance what that would have lead to. Fortune and love mixed with war can only lead to a calamity."
Shaking my head I continued on with my monologue; I have already voiced these thoughts to myself several million times already in regret.
"Too great a fortune will lead to disputes. A fortune too great in times of war will birth jealousy in the minds of man. Fortune only leads to calamity in times of war. If only I were a god of peace. Love in war only brings about disaster. Take for example the husband parting from his wife as he tells her he loves her. That husband fights to protect their homeland with hope that better days lie ahead. While holding such thoughts in mind he is cut down on the fields of battle. He returns to ashes as the flames of war rage on. He leaves behind his beloved wife and unborn child to fend for themselves. The wife must then bear with the calamitous news as she is plunged into an abyss of despair. Those tears shed upon his departure; she knew that the news may come, but she still retained the slightest hope he may return. These final hopes were only cruely extinguished like the weak flickering of a lit candle on a cold stormy night. The wretched flag known as death is lit the moment you mention love in war. It can sadly only bring about a misfortune."
"Husband stop tormenting yourself over it. Do you regret having a child with me?"
"Of course not! How could I dare?!"
"Then what good is regretting if we would have had her regardless? As long as I was your partner the result would have been the same."
"A goddess of love and fortune marrying a god of war is definitely an ill omen but our daughter is still alive and well after two billion years. I'm sure she will manage to find happiness. The possibilities are endless when taking all the realms into account. Surely there exists someone or something that can allow our daughter to overcome her fate."
"..."
"Why not just trust your daughter and let her live her life as she pleases. She is no longer a child and she is definitely not as simple and naive as you like to think. Maybe she has already found a way to change her fate as a goddess of calamity."
"After all, did we not name her Megumi as we wished she would grow up to be an unrivalled beautiful goddess. She took on my last name in hopes she would overcome her fate and become a goddess of fortune in her own way. Also, don't you find her husband's name kind of ironic?"
I could only show my wife a strange face as the words left my mouth "disaster seeking? What kind of parents did he have to name him that?"
I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really did come seeking disaster by asking for my daughter's, a goddess of calamity's, hand in marriage.
"Darling husband, did you forget our daughter has a new meaning to her name as well now? Is she not a goddess seeking fortune?"
Thinking about it like this I really could not help but want to kick that little dog a few times. What kind of idiot came up with such a stupid name. Why don't you seek your mother out for giving you such a stupid name please.
