Chapter 86: Artemis – Feeling Like I’ve Lost My Mind~ (Second Update)

In Izay’s personal room.

“Why did you say that earlier? Ais.”

Pulling Ais to sit at the table inside the room, Izay placed his unfinished breakfast on the surface and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“Because… it was Riviria’s idea…”

It’s even related to Mom-san?

No, it doesn’t seem strange at all that this has something to do with Riviria.

Izay remembered that in the original story, Mom-san was Ais’s emotional consultant master, always pulling off various mischievous moves, playing matchmaker like a pro.

“So… what’s the reason?”

“Hmm… because I wanted to repay your help.”

Ais sat obediently on the chair, answering Izay’s question straightforwardly.

With just a few questions and answers, Izay quickly figured out the reason for her actions, resolving his doubts.

He couldn’t help but feel somewhat amused and exasperated.

Lady, we could have discussed this privately, you know.

Saying it in front of almost the entire Familial Group members…

Izay could already foresee the scene where Loki wakes up holding a knife chasing after him.

“…Is it not allowed?”

Ais noticed the wry smile on his face, thinking that Izay disagreed with the matter.

“Nope, it’s totally fine.”

Joking, would Izay refuse such an opportunity delivered right to him?

Just avoiding Loki later would be enough; anyway, she’d probably forget about it in a few days.

“Um, then let’s go to Riviria’s place later.”

Seeing Izay agree to the matter, a faint smile appeared on Ais’s lips as she softly spoke.

“Eh… why are we going to Riviria?”

“Riviria didn’t finish telling me what to do on a date earlier. When she was about to explain, the breakfast bell rang…”

Ah, this…

For some reason, Izay had a feeling that they could reach the climax of their relationship through this date.

But upon considering the significant difference in their combat abilities, he dismissed that thought.

Let’s play it safe.

We haven’t even dealt with Artemis yet, so let’s take it slow.

This is a long and arduous journey~

Staying in the room, Izay started finishing the breakfast he hadn’t finished eating.

He gave two untouched omelets to Ais to fill her stomach; this silly girl hadn’t eaten yet.

The current situation isn’t suitable for going to the Familial Group cafeteria; we’ll help Ais catch up on breakfast after everyone leaves.

Otherwise, there will be no end to teasing.

When people gang up, they can convince you that white is black.

After about half an hour, Izay and Ais returned to the large cafeteria.

Now the big cafeteria seemed rather quiet. Everyone had finished breakfast and went to do their own things, leaving only Rine on shift and some staff responsible for cleaning.

“Izay, Miss Ais… what brings you here?”

Noticing their arrival, Rine approached them with small steps.

“Miss Ais hasn’t eaten breakfast yet, so we came to look for food.”

Izay shrugged, his tone slightly helpless.

When Rine looked over, Ais also nodded at her, “Came to find food.”

“Oh, I see. Miss Ais really didn’t eat anything earlier. By coincidence, I prepared an extra portion, please follow me. I kept a breakfast for Miss Ais.”

Earlier, when she saw Ais being pulled away by Izay, the observant Rine had already anticipated some possibilities and specially set aside an extra breakfast.

Now it seems, making that decision was absolutely correct.

As for the explosive statement from before… it must have been a misunderstanding, right?

Rine didn’t think Ais was the type to actively ask someone out for a date…

“Izay!!! Come out here!!”

At the moment Rine brought breakfast for Ais, a thunderous roar filled with intimidating power suddenly echoed around, accompanied by the massive noise produced by its owner running.

“!!!”

Danger!!!

Feeling the sound getting closer and louder, Izay immediately realized the current situation.

“Ais, we’ll discuss the date later! I need to leave first!”

There was no time to explain; Izay quickly ran away before Loki noticed him.

“—!”

Ais still maintained the motion of receiving the breakfast from Rine. By the time Izay’s words reached her ears, she didn’t even get a chance to hold him back. All that was left for her was Izay’s retreating figure.

The young girl opened her lips, unsure of what to do.

Why is Izay so afraid of Loki?

Can’t figure it out…

‘Ais shouldn’t be that kind of personality?’

Cook Rine’s brain froze for a second; things seemed more complicated than she imagined.

Suddenly, Loki’s figure wielding a kitchen knife appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Glancing around the cafeteria once or twice, seeing Ais alone instantly put her mind at ease, dissipating most of her desire to chase Izay.

But if even Ais asked her out for a date, something she herself never experienced!

No way! This matter isn’t over yet!

“Izay! Get out here!!!”

Loki stormed off again to search the next place.

………………

Meanwhile, at the Sacred Bathhouse.

To simply describe this place, one sentence — this is paradise!

“Let me check if you’ve grown any bigger?”

“How could we possibly grow… hey, stop touching! Don’t grope around!”

If anyone were to witness this scene, whether male or female, they would definitely blush profusely, nosebleed, and faint.

Amidst the swirling thin steam, the goddesses proud of their beauty shamelessly revealed their dazzling body lines and voluptuous figures.

They exchanged and played in a completely natural state, naked.

As its name suggests, the Sacred Bathhouse is a pure bathhouse exclusively for deities.

The vast bathhouse features baths of various sizes, along with giant trees and natural rocks, embodying the charm of nature.

The walls and columns made of cut stones used for interior decoration are both exquisite and solemn, showcasing extreme luxury.

This exclusive bathhouse for deities is a facility established and managed by the Guild specifically for the gods residing in the city.

Using part of the taxes collected from each [Familial Group], the Guild expresses reverence for the gods, giving back in this way by building various entertainment facilities for them.

The men’s and women’s sections of the bathhouse are naturally separated, but the usage rate of the men’s section is quite low. When referring to the Sacred Bathhouse, it basically means the women’s section here.

Artemis soaked in the hot water, letting her skin become cherry pink, exhaling a puff of warm air.

“Hmm… It’s been a while since I last came here…”

Artemis submerged everything below her shoulders into the hot water of the bathhouse, her smooth blue hair spread across the water, creating ripples.

“Who would have thought I would compete in drinking with that Loki…”

Upon reflection, it really felt like she lost her mind back then.

There were so many ways to prevent Loki from revealing her past, why choose the hardest one?

Loki’s reputation for drinking in Heaven was widely known alongside some other bad names.

Since I don’t drink often, how could I challenge such a Loki…

Seeming to blame herself somewhat, Artemis’s mood became somewhat peculiar.

Unfortunately, now trying to recall her mindset from last night, she couldn’t remember exactly what she was thinking.

Drunk too hard, forgot…

After sealing their divine powers in the lower world, they’re no different from ordinary people; hangovers still cause memory loss.
