Chapter 282: Kurewa System Connectivity!! (Please subscribe!)

“Hmm… the scene over there, that intense battle… Is that Izay? What’s Loki up to?”

After watching the white-haired figure below carry off a deity and run away for a moment, Freya suddenly shifted her gaze, looking towards a corner of the city still faintly glowing with an ethereal blue light. Her violet eyes flickered with confusion.

Almost simultaneously, two, no, seemingly three battles unfolded between adventurers and monsters.

What was going on?

Although the unexpected triple fun made Freya feel a bit happy, she was also at a loss right now.

Because she didn’t think the other two incidents had anything to do with her.

From start to finish, she had only released nine monsters and specially hypnotized them not to harm anyone. Moreover, their strength wasn’t high; the strongest was about the level of the “Middle Layer” area.

For Izay, dealing with them would be incredibly easy.

So what was happening with the other two battles?

Allowing her silver hair to flutter in the sunlight, the goddess’s mind was filled with doubt.

During this period of contemplation, however, she didn’t intend to linger at the scene for long and soon quietly left.

Judging from the direction Beier ran off with Hestia earlier, Freya roughly guessed where they were headed, so she immediately prepared to return.

After all, she was currently someone who “didn’t bring her wallet.”

To say it bluntly during the festival season, how can you attend a festival without a wallet?

It all costs money～!

And with the idea of changing her identity to “accidentally” meet Beier, the goddess’s figure quietly disappeared on Daedalus Street.

Apart from the guards who had been secretly following to protect her, no one noticed her actions.

“Yare yare… is our local brothel goddess finally going to take action against me? So scary…”

On the main street of East Street, Izay swung a cloth bag while walking and muttered.

After waiting for so long, Goddess Ishtar has finally made some moves.

How should I put it… feels kind of hard, huh～

Unfortunately, Izay doesn’t care about her anymore now.

With his potential abilities, magic, and skills breaking through to Level 5, Izay has no fear of her retaliation.

Level 5 fighters, no matter how many come, cannot possibly defeat Izay.

If Ishtar could summon a Level 6…

Izay would actually welcome her finding someone to give him experience points; then the mission objectives would be met!

When Ishtar passes away in the underworld, Izay might even offer incense for her.

But at this stage, Ishtar seems unable to produce any Level 6 combatants.

What a sad story～

“But letting her keep making small moves in the dark isn’t good either. I took Haruhi, I wonder if that goddess will still target Beier. That’s the problem.”

“If she doesn’t target Beier, Freya won’t crush her… It’ll just cause more trouble for myself…”

In short, it’s a simple cause-and-effect relationship.

Izay changed the direct reason for Beier to interact with Ishtar’s faction and got help from Hermes, the pleasure-loving guy.

This made it uncertain whether Ishtar would “freeze” Beier in the future.

However, to be honest, from his own perspective, Izay hopes this happens.

After all, Ishtar being out of the picture benefits him in countless ways.

The question is how to make this happen… It’s worth pondering.

“Perhaps let Hermes sell himself cheaply? He frequents the Pleasure Quarter anyway; arranging something with him regarding Beier would work.”

Izay couldn’t help but have this thought pop into his mind.

To scheme against Ishtar, and Hermes could use this opportunity to give the future hero a trial!

Kurewa System Connectivity!! Beier-chan!

An opportunity to test the hero is right in front of us; surely Hermes wouldn’t refuse?

At most, Beier would have to endure a little委屈.

As he thought about it, Izay’s eyes slowly narrowed as he glanced to the side, his lips curving upward.

His expression became comical～

However, when Izay walked down the street with this thought in mind… the person he was scheming against suddenly appeared before him.

“Kyaa….!”

“!?”

Lost in thought, Izay didn’t notice, and while crossing the intersection, he collided head-on with Beier, who was running out of Daedalus Street with Hestia.

“I-Izay-sama!? Sorry for almost bumping into you! But I’m in a hurry, please excuse me!!”

Taking a few steps back to steady herself, Beier spoke urgently.

“Oh…” Responding instinctively, Izay paused for a moment before reacting: “Are you heading home?”

“No, because the goddess suddenly fainted, so I’m going to find help!” Beier quickly replied, glancing toward the direction of Northwest Street.

She had only arrived in Orario recently and knew very few people, but fortunately, the kind Mihe god and his faction left a deep impression on Beier.

Not for any other reason, just because the two of them were doctors. Now that the goddess was in trouble, Beier’s first reaction was to seek them out.

“As for Hestia goddess, in my opinion, it’s just a simple case of exhaustion causing fainting. My personal suggestion is to find a suitable place for her to rest.”

Beier didn’t know that right in front of her was someone whose medical skills could rank second throughout all of Orario.

When Izay studied with Amide in the past, besides magic, he learned quite a bit of knowledge in this field, so he immediately saw through Hestia’s current condition.

Excessive fatigue, followed by a sudden relaxation, leading to fainting.

Probably because she hadn’t rested properly for several days trying to get Beier the ideal weapon?

“Is… is that so?”

Hearing Izay’s words, Beier stopped her foot that was about to step forward and cautiously asked Izay.

“Why would I lie to you? Hestia goddess just needs a good sleep now; she hasn’t been injured or anything.” Izay shrugged.

Like a heavy stone falling from her heart, Beier slightly bowed to Izay: “I understand! Thank you, Izay-sama.”

“Small thing～”

“In that case, why don’t we send her to our shop to rest? How about that?”

Suddenly, another crisp voice appeared here.

“—Miss Hiel!?”

Beier turned her head and saw a person she had been longing for all day.

The girl with flowing silver-gray hair stepped out from beside the street.

“Sorry, I eavesdropped on your conversation with Izay. But I understand the situation somewhat… If you’re looking for a place to rest, why not come to the tavern where I work? I can prepare a room for you?”

Hiel placed her hands together in front of her chest, stuck out her tongue cutely, and made a suggestion.

“This… wouldn’t that be too much? Your tavern is still open for business…”

“It’s fine～ I’ll convince Mama Mia! And the tavern isn’t far from here, it’s very close?”

“Since that’s the case……”
