[ Without hesitation: ]

How many do I need to kill?

The death of others currently does not inspire me. You're basically just making offerings to my sister with actions like that.

... Oh.

[ Thinking, thinking-- ]

What about if I gave you some of the gochu I grew in my garden?

[ They're Korean chili peppers that rank decently high on the scoville scale. But they're tasty, and surely a divine entity can handle the heat. ]

...Hm. Typically I'm the one that grants bountiful harvest, but I suppose I cannot refuse something you took time and care to nurture.

[A sincere offering to her as a goddess is something she cannot ignore. Though...]

It's only a start. I cannot grant you the full extent of my blessings with just that, but I will certainly accept.

[ Baphomet grunts in acknowledgement, before muttering: ]

«Summon Inventory».

[ It only takes a second or two, and then a small glass Tupperware materializes within his empty palm, filled with four fresh red peppers. ]

Here. [ He casually hands the container over to her, his free hand tucked into his pant pocket. ] You can grind these into paste to make gochujang sauce. They're also pretty good deep-fried and sprinkled with sugar.

Is that right? I've never had to cook for myself, but maybe this body has had some experience.

[Ishtar accepts the offering with bright eyed curiosity — turning it over and watching the peppers move about in the container. In fact if not for a few shades off, they might just match her eyes. In that moment, she decides she likes them.]

Very well! You shall receive the blessing of Ishtar! Goddess of War. Are you ready?

[ Just. This expression. Because there's nothing that makes Baphomet happier than becoming stronger. ]

Yes.

[ He's hoping for a decent power-up, like a divine-exclusive buff that increases his physical strength and/or defense. Or maybe some permanent stat increases. Or maybe even both. Both would be awesome (because he's greedy as hell)! ]

[...Huh. He's actually kind of cute when he smiles. Unfortunate that he's such a pain. Ishtar's own personality means that she probably won't be able to see such a sight too often.]

Then close your eyes. I'll give you a goddess blessing equal to your offering.
