Welcome! There are a few of your countrymen around here, I think.
Christian, you here somewhere?

Actually, Edward only has published up to Ch 174. Ch's 175-178 are
just dummy links for now. He does an exemplary job.

Oh, yes, this touches on one of the hottest debates in AMS circles.
I, for one, don't believe that Kami-sama is the father of the
goddesses. Despite the fact that both Anime-Eigo and Studio Proteus
(Dark Horse) have translated 'Kami-sama' as 'father', there is not
one shred of evidence that he actually is the father of the goddess
sisters. On the other hand, there are several indications and at
least one piece of hard evidence that he is not. Unfortunately, there
isn't enough evidence either way to conclusively say yes or no.

So, you see I don't have any problem with figuring out how Hild and
Kami-sama could have gotten together, since I don't believe that they
ever did. It was another, as-yet-unnamed god (Balder?) who fathered
Urd with Hild.

Or, perhaps demon and god children normally play with each other
before taking up their duties? Or, perhaps Hild encouraged Mara to
play with the children of the gods, or at least with Urd and her
sisters. Hild has had her eye on Urd for a long time, probably ever
since she gave Urd up.

The list has been very quiet lately. Much less traffic than usual.
This post wasn't long at all compared to some of the stuff from the
"old days". ^_^
