The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

"Pom!" "Pom!"

"Pom!" "Pom!"

One by one, multiple fireworks flew up the sky and bloomed. The transcended light from the destruction they represent only mirrored themselves in magnificent light to the naked eye.

Red, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Orange.

Multiple more colors and different sizes of fireworks bloomed.

It was truly a beautiful sight.

I never saw such a view back in my previous world.

With the large skyscrapers dominating the space and feeding away grounds the trees and playgrounds had, the views became exceptionally short to see fireworks.

But not in this world.

This world that doesn't have any skyscrapers nor apartment complex was truly grand. Each firework would spread into such a long web that many eyes far out the kingdom and within can see them.

"So beautiful."

I hear Elisabeth say.

I had focused so much on the fireworks that I almost forget about her. But now that she got me reminded, I'll make sure to spend this special time with a special girl like her.

"Can you see them, Elisabeth? Or do you want me to go to a much more open space?" I ask her.

"No, this is perfect." I looked down at her eyes which reflected the red firework.

"I can see everything from here. It's like we are standing at the center and they are shooting them for us."

"Haha… it's because we are."

"Huh?" She looked at me, "What do you mean? We can't be at the center area. It should be blockaded off by the army."

"It is." I smile and tell her to look around us.

Doing that, she saw that there were a lot of soldiers beside us. They were looking at the fireworks too but some were guarding something at one corner.

Peering her eyes that way, they widened to shock.

She saw a lot of people kneeling on the grounds and lighting the fireworks.

In front of her eyes, she saw a guy fusing its tail and then shooting up.

"Woah! This is amazing! How did we even get here Henry?" She asked, amazed by this.

"Let's just say, I have a connection with the fireworks people." I smiled, "How about it, wanna shoot one?"

"Wh- what?! N- N- No, we can't do that, can't we!" Elisabeth shook her head in fear, "They wouldn't let us."

"They will, if I tell them they will." I grab her hand and take her, "Let's go."

"Wa- Wait, Henry!" She called out but I did not listen.

I took her along with zero resistance from her.

Coming towards the fireworks display, a guard was stationing there. He was blocking off people from going inside.

"Don't Henry, that guard won't let us."

I don't say anything and keep walking as Elisabeth could only fear for the worse.

The guard seeing me arrive, at first took a look at me before looking behind at Elisabeth. Then he nodded to me and stepped aside, letting us in.

"Huh? He let us in?" Elisabeth asked, a bit shocked at the outcome.

"I know some people," I put a finger at lip and winked, "Can you keep this a secret… only to the two of us, okay?"

Elisabeth didn't blush anymore. Being able to spend such a quality time with Henry and experiencing such a moment for the first time made her way too excited to think about anything else.

We go towards a group where three people were shooting the rockets and I say, "Hey, you three piss off."

Elisabeth looked shocked at Henry. 'Is this what he meant by connections!'

The guys firing rocked looked back in shock too, "Umm… why would we do that?"

"Because I told you, now all of you get out, I want my friend to fire them."

"But this is our job." The guy asked his friends, "How did he get in anyway?"

Elisabeth was about to stop Henry, when someone else came in.

"Yoo, cut the chatter here." A new guy came.

Elisabeth looked behind and saw a guy who looked a bit of a jackass. Not because he was dressed so, because he's face was painted red like a monkey.

The Jackass looked at her and squinted his eyes as if he found something wrong.

'What's wrong with him? Do I have something on my face?'

Then he heard Henry talk to him, "Jackass- I meant Jacob, it's been so long… what the hell took you so long?" He spoke like he did with the fire workers, but with familiarity and more insults.

The jackas- Jacob too talked in a familiar tone with him, "I went to take a dump. But what do I see here, you're with a girl?"

Elisabeth blushed, sensing what he was saying, "N- No, I'm not his girlf-"

"I thought you would bring two or three more girls… what happened? Did you lose them in the crowd?"

"…" Elisabeth had a blank look as she heard the two or three more girls part.

"Bam!"

Henry hammered at the jackass's head, "Stop talking nonsense. Are you trying to ruin my chances with her?"

Elisabeth shot a dangerous look at me that I had to change my words in fear.

"That's what I would say, if she wasn't a friend's girlfriend."

But doing that also made her sad… what do you want woman?

"Taking your chance on a defenseless friend's girl… that's exactly you."

"Stop talking shit and get them out of here." I point to the fire workers.

They also turned to Jacob, "Boss? What's happening here?"

"Oh yeah? I forgot to mention, you guys can leave now, I'll take over."

They stood surprised, "B- But boss, if we don't do fully, we won't get-"

Jacob threw a bundle of cash at them, "That's for all of your hard day's work and some extra, do your wives a favor and go to a whore house."

The fire workers looked at the pound notes and smiled in glee, "As you say boss, let's go." And left.

Elisabeth just stood there in shock. She didn't know what this was. To her mind, giving them money and taking their place… wasn't this illegal?

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Come on!" Henry called her out as she got back to reality.

'Well… whatever it is, now's my time to score!... I- I mean spend some time with Henry.'

With that half-assed resolve, she did as Henry said. Elisabeth kneeled on the ground and was about to light a rocket when a thought came to her.

"Henry, this won't go off course, right?"

She turned to see Henry, who was looking at his own already lit rocket and mumbled, "How am I supposed to aim this?"

Elisabeth's eye's almost barged out as she went to help stabilize Henry's rocket. Then right at the perfect moment, when we held up the rocket, it flew.

"Fyoooo…" The rocket whistled up and went far up the sky before, "Boom!" It bloomed into a large red rose like structure.

Just like that, we created a lot more fun memories while firing off some rockets. These moments went on to a build a stable hard column for our budding relationship as Elisabeth steeled herself even more.

But at such an opportune moment, I saw a place lit up far away and quickly went to shield Elisabeth.

"ELISABETH!"

"BOOM!!"
