The World Aphrodite Only Knows
Prologue
"This is about Katsuragi-san," said Diana, "What are we going to do from now on?"
Apollo, looking at the ceiling, holding a cookie close to her mouth, asked, "We're discussing who'll be Katsuragi's lover… that's basically it right?"
"How absurd… that all of our hosts have been seduced by that Katsuragi idiot," said Vulcan.
Diana looked to the right,"This is a premeditated crime. Katsuragi-san was going to reveal everything when all of this was over. There's no way that anyone would love a man who's in a six timing relationship… or so he thinks."
"He is naïve in that regard. There's no way you could start hating someone for that. Especially when it is to save your life," noted Apollo.
"Unforgivable, Katsuragi," said Mars.
"If Tsukiyo didn't harbor feelings for him, I would have killed him already. Nothing good can come from getting involved with that sort of a man. It's best to forget about him!" said Vulcan.
"Ooh! News flash! Apparently Vulnee's host is going to give up on Katsuragi!" teased Apollo.
"I-I never said that! It's a common opinion!" shouted Vulcan.
"Well, the important thing is the outcome!" smiled Apollo.
"That's right," nodded Mars, "All that matters is that Yui wins Katsuragi's heart."
"You can't beat Kanon! She's a super idol!" said Apollo.
"That's nothing to be afraid of," said Mars.
"Ano… Shiori too," said Minerva.
Kanon and Mars looked at her.
"Like you can help Shiori. You are just a little girl who knows nothing about the world of men," said Mars as she lifted up Minerva's dress.
"Stop!" yelled Minerva as she made a force field.
"Hey! Don't teach Minerva such depraved things!" said Diana.
Mars and Apollo recovered from the shock of the force field. They stood up.
"Depraved? The most depraved one is you! Disregarding your host, you fell in love with Katsuragi yourself!" retorted Mars.
"That's boldness that would shock even our ancestors!" teased Apollo.
"Wha… What are you talking about?" stammered Diana as she blushed.
Mercury yawned, "So what? Katsuragi is Ayumi's husband."
"That marriage is invalid!"
"There's nothing wrong with having two wives!"
"That's not the problem!"
" .HA. You are all so innocent," said a voice.
The Jupiter Sisters looked at the source of the laughter.
"APHRODITE!?"
"Hey, what's up?" asked Aphrodite. She sat down on the couch.
The Jupiter Sisters looked at each other and then back at Aphrodite, who was taking a look at the snacks on the table.
She smiled at the Jupiter Sisters.
"So, Diana has a crush on Keima-cun? How interesting."
Diana blushed. "I do not!"
Aphrodite laughed, "As the goddess of love, you would think I would know when someone's in love. And Diana, you are in love."
"I-It's not -"
"Aphrodite, what are you doing here?" interrupted Mars. She glared at Aphrodite.
"Oh, why so cold, Maru-chan? Are you still angry about that one time when I -"
"N-Never mind about that!" yelled Mars with fire in her eyes.
Aphrodite laughed.
"What happened?" asked Apollo.
"Well, Mars was at a -"
"APHRODITE! LEAVE NOW!" yelled Mars. Lightning was cackling from her hair.
"Aw, come on Mars, let Aphrodite tell her story," yawned Mercury.
"Yes! I would love to hear this story! Especially if Mars is embarrassed about it," said Apollo.
"Focus everyone. We were talking about how we would kill Katsuragi-san in the most painful way possible," said Vulcan.
"What? We weren't doing that!" said Apollo.
Vulcan sighed. She glared at Apollo. "We don't want Aphrodite getting involved in this."
"Oops," said Apollo. She laughed nervously as she glanced at Aphrodite who smiled at Apollo.
"So, back to the reason I am here, I am joining this competition for Katsuragi's affections," said Aphrodite.
"WHATT?"
"Ano, you like Katsuragi-san?" asked Minerva.
Aphrodite laughed.
"A human? Please. I will be a love patron just like all of you."
"Love patron?" asked Apollo.
"Yes 3! I have been watching all of you, and I have to say this is the best drama I've seen in centuries! Diana and Tenri, the childhood friend! Apollo and Kanon, the super idol! Mars and Yui, the bold tomboy! Minerva and Shiori, the bookworm! Mercury and Ayumi, the popular high schooler! And Vulcan and Tsukiyo, the beautiful doll! And don't forget Chihiro! The one who already has a part of Katsuragi's heart!" shouted Aphrodite.
"Wow. You get really worked up," said Mercury.
Aphrodite grinned. "I can't help it! When it comes to love -"
"Wait. You will patron for Chihiro?" asked Diana.
Aphrodite laughed. "No way! That would be too easy."
"But then who will you patron for? You listed all the girls who like Katsuragi-san," said Mars.
Aphrodite grinned. Her eyes sparkled.
"I will be the love patron for Haqua!"
