Ai, Love Me
Eps 30, Days with Greisha

For 4 days and 3 nights, in fact Johan got a dream that was really very long. On the first day Johan falls asleep, in fact Johan meets Greisha in a vast meadow. Johan was standing under the only tree in the middle of the vast grassland. Under the tree, in fact there is Greisha who is leaning on one of the tree trunks there.

“yo has long not met” said Greisha the Goddess of Nature.

“su-have long time not met” replied Johan lowering his head.

“not that I have told you before. Don't be too formal with me. Consider me your senior” said the goddess of nature, Greisha.

“i-iya sorry sorry” said Johan.

“nyoh, drink while waiting for your body to wake up.” Greisha said as she threw a coconut at Johan.

Johan caught the coconut and then shook it. Johan also brought the coconut closer to his ear to make sure there is no coconut water in it.

“just relax, even if you drink it many times, the water in the coconut will not run out” Greisha said.

“ehh? How can that be?” johan asked so astonished.

“you asked why nature gave me such a miracle? it was because I was the goddess of nature. It does not need to be asked again” said the goddess of nature while putting her body under the tree.

“magical, really magical” said Johan really impressed.

“neh Johan, come here and lie beside me” said the goddess of nature.

“ba-baik” firmly Johan.

Johan put himself beside the goddess of nature under the tree. While looking at the sky that was covered by dense foliage, they still found blue spots from the bright sky that were not covered in clouds. The atmosphere is so pleasant along with the chirping of birds and the breeze is cool.

“neh Johan” says Greisha.

“what's the goddess?” ask Johan.

“do you have a girl you like?” ask the goddess of nature.

“ada, one woman I just met yesterday in my hometown” replied Johan.

“really? Whose name?” ask Greisha.

“emm, she was a little weird. When we first met, I was sad and leaning against a tree. Then suddenly, I did not hear a single footstep, but the girl suddenly sat beside me. When I asked her name, she replied that she was not given a name by her parents at birth. And also he said that he was told to work when he was just born. I don't understand what he means but I'm sure he's very lonely there” Johan replied.

“then, how can you call him?” ask Greisha.

“he begged me to give him a name like everyone else. So I named her Odessa Ai. There is a philosophy in the name and it will be a little longer if I tell it to you now” Johan said.

“it's okay, just tell me” Greisha said.

“so that night when I learned the truth from the forest burner, I was really disappointed, angry, sad and afraid. All those feelings were mixed together and terrorized the contents of my brain. I decided to stop and stand on a tree. The name of the tree is Hornbeam. The tree is really unique, in fact even though it is a Hornbeam tree, but the tree is flowering Sakura. It's really magical. After that, when I was sad, I stood in front of the tree and saw the shadow of my birth mother on the tree. After that I cried while hugging the tree tightly. Slowly my eyes hurt from crying too much and in the end I just sat leaning against the tree. Like I said, I didn't hear any footsteps at all. And not long after that, the woman sat beside me with so much joy. We talk about each of us. And I'm sure he did it because he knew I was sad. After that, he begged me to give him a name. I asked him about his favorite things and he replied that he really liked the tree. The Hornbeam tree grows only in Ukraine and flowers only in Japan, so I took the name of the city with the most populous population of the Ukrainian state and one of the adjectives in Japanese. I named her Odessa Ai. Odessa comes from the name of the fourth most populous city in the country of Ukraine while Ai comes from the Japanese language meaning Love. Odessa is symbolized from the Hornbeam Tree which only grows in the country of Ukraine and Ai is symbolized from the cherry blossoms that only grow in Japan” explained Johan at length.

“so? do you think your given name is good? What if he's disappointed?” ask Greisha.

“before I was very doubtful and not even talented in finding a name. However, when he received the name of my gift, he shed tears. I was really scared because I thought that he would be sad with such a bad name, but he was crying because of haru because I gave him a good name in his opinion. So he also received the name Odessa Ai with great joy and without coercion” replied Johan.

“I became curious how Odessa Ai like yours is” Greisha said.

“hah? mi-mine?” asked Johan with flushed cheeks.

“ehh? So you guys aren't ready yet?” ask Greisha.

“why don't you shoot slowly?” ask Greisha.

“hah? meaning?” ask Johan.

“I mean is, slowly you hold her hand and then look her in the eye. After that, you told her that you liked her and you wanted to be her boyfriend” Greisha said.

“hah? i-i-I think it-it's not mu-maybe” Johan said so nervously with flushed cheeks.

“basic men trash. You have to have the courage to get his heart. Do not let you regret if the time is too late and he is already owned by others” Greisha said.

“do you have any suggestions how to get a woman's heart?” ask Johan.

“it's easy” replied Greisha instantly sitting in that place.

“you just have to do what I tell you” Greisha said sitting facing Johan.

“how? Tell me” said Johan sitting opposite Greisha. They were like a pair of teachers and students who were teaching at school in front of each other.

“the first thing you have to do is you have to look attractive in his eyes” Greisha said.

“looks interesting? Meaning?” ask Johan.

“you must make yourself as if you were a different person to others. For example, you have to implant into the woman's head if you're cooler than other men. Or not, you're more fun and funnier than any other guy. Make yourself attractive in front of him with your ability” said Greisha.

“but you know for yourself that I'm just a wibu otaku that has no coolness at all” said Johan.

“in that case, you should highlight one of your skills, do you have any skills?” greisha asked a little doubtfully.

“from that tone of yours, it seems you underestimated me. I was the most humorous person in school and I always made other people laugh” Johan said proudly.

“then make Odessa laugh always when meeting you” Greisha said.

“well, I understand” said Johan while nodding his head.

“the second thing to watch out for is your nature and behavior. Not all women like grown men. Many of the women out there even like men who are younger and more childish than him. Such a woman usually hopes that she has a sister but her expectations are not met. Therefore such women are very fond of men who are childish because they consider themselves to be older sisters. On the contrary, many of the women out there like men who are mature. Such a woman is usually a woman who desperately wants to have a brother in her family but her wishes are not fulfilled. Therefore such a woman is a woman who really likes men who are adults because she considers herself a wayward sister of a more mature brother. Now, you have to analyze Odessa's characteristics. Do you think Odessa is a childish woman who wants to have a grown man or Odessa is a mature woman and wants to have a child?” greisha.

“you're right, you're very smart. The goddess of nature is truly great. You really understand the thought of a woman” said Johan really amazed.

“that's because it's obvious I'm a woman” explains Greisha.

“then, I will try to guess the Characteristics of the Natural Goddess, Greisha first. When I first saw the Goddess here, I saw a calm and unhinged nature. I see the goddess is a really calm person. The way of speaking Goddess is also not twisted and also the Goddess does not need to take a long breath because it looks like the goddess already knows what the goddess will say. The way the goddess spoke was also very calm and there was no need to shout to convince others. From my prediction, the goddess had an interest in having relationships with men who were more childish. Because it seems like the goddess is very lonely and wants to have a boyish man who can entertain the goddess when the goddess is lonely” said Johan with enthusiasm.

“that's why I always visit your dreams, Johan” thought Greisha in heart.

“hello? The goddess? Are you okay? why does the goddess of night daydream?” ask Johan.

“why are you even insensitive?” greisha asked.

“what Goddess is sick? uh I don't think that's possible. Can a goddess be sick?” said Johan.

“somehow I get a little hurt when you say you like someone. And even that man is my own son. You tell it so happily and with a very big smile. Looks like, you really really like it.” Greisha thought to herself.

“yahh, I think I'll give in to my own son. I am thousands of years old, after all. I must not be selfish to my own son” Greisha said loudly.

“heh? A-kids? Relented? Whatdoes thatmean? What did the goddess think until the goddess waved for so long? What goddess has children?” johan asked in surprise.
