Goddess Scripture 6 "A Certain Professor's Reminiscence"

Goddess Scriptures confirmed. Beginning lesson now.

The goddess chose to divide herself into good and evil halves, in the form of innocent, newborn, human children.

Though unfortunately, I don't know what her intentions were in doing so.

When I discovered this, I was confronted with several options.

I knew that freezing them and sealing them away for good would be the safest plan as far as humanity was concerned.

But the goddess had made a choice to divide herself, and that had to mean something. So, I felt sealing the halves away would be wrong.

That's why I decided to raise one half as my daughter, and let the other half stay asleep.

Part of that was because, practically speaking, it would have been tremendously difficult to raise two children all on my own...

...but it was also because raising two children with such different dispositions would cause a great deal of discord.

That just left one question: Which half do I raise?

Obviously, a goddess of good would naturally gravitate towards doing good.

The moment she woke up, she would find herself loved and accepted by people everywhere.

Conversely, a goddess of evil would, of course, be a threat to our galactic peace.

Her very existence would surely lead people to fear and reject her.

...

I have spent years devoted to my cold, calculated work to bring peace to all humanity. As such, the obvious choice would be to raise the good half.

But...I felt like that wouldn't be the right choice either.

I decided that only a more difficult path would be appropriate.

A path that no one would have ever taken.

It was a lot like how Jane feels when she gets the urge to visit unexplored planets...

...or how I became genuinely enthralled with archaeology after originally adopting it as a cover.

Our very existence as humans leads us to constantly try to learn new things and relearn things that we once lost.

It would be easy to expel the evil half just for being evil, but that would also leave us no better off than we were before.

So I decided I wanted to extol the virtues of love to the evil goddess, to treat her as a person in her own right, and to have her learn what true happiness is.

So my choice was made, and I woke the evil half up.

Ever since then, every day has been more joyous and fulfilling than I can adequately put into words.

She grew up into a beautiful girl, even more than I had dared hope for. She...is my pride and joy.

All right, that concludes my message.

What you do with these facts now is up to you.

You could keep them to yourself, or you could forget them all if you decide they're not worth the trouble.

Then why bother leaving a message at all, you say? Hahaha, let's just say we doting dads can't help but stick our noses into our children's business.

Since I figured you would be traveling with her someday, I thought you should hear her whole story.

Anyway, I think I've talked enough now. I hope you and my daughter have a great adventure together.
