Chapter 316: Artemis Has Turned Into a Pigeon Goddess (Please Subscribe!)

That night…

The moon shone like a silver plate, with countless stars scattered across the deep blue sky. The clear moonlight bathed the entire city of Orario.

On the streets illuminated by magic stones, Izay walked towards the northwest street, holding a book in his arms, his steps light and cheerful.

“How to Interpret Divine Words” — that was the name of the book in his hands.

It was a book he had found at “Nom’s Great Library” some time ago and bought because he thought it might be useful.

“Nom’s Great Library” is located in the eastern part of the Labyrinth City and is operated by the “Fairy Industry” run by the nom fairies.

Various “fairy cloths” often used by adventurers are also part of this fairy industry.

By the way, fairies have different races, such as water fairies, fire fairies, earth fairies, etc., which can be inferred from the various types of “fairy cloths.”

Among them, the earth fairies not only operate the highly praised “Nom’s Lending Vault” among adventurers but also own “Nom’s Great Library.”

It is the largest library in Orario, said to house all the books in the world, though whether this is exaggerated or not is hard to determine. However, it does have the largest collection of books in Orario.

There are countless precious original pages, but there are also many secondary transcribed versions, which are the books available for sale.

The “How to Interpret Divine Words” that Izay now holds is one such transcribed book.

Even though it is a transcription, the content has not changed much and remains profound.

Finding it difficult to study alone, Izay reluctantly decided to find a study partner.

He was now on his way to his partner’s home~

Familiarly stepping through the streets, Izay arrived at the gate of a mansion annex.

A brand-new iron gate connected to tall guard fences stood before him, the building design simple yet unique.

“Adimi House,” the name of the mansion where Izay had arrived.

There was even a sign next to it.

Smiling slightly, Izay took out the key from his pocket, unlocked the gate, and closed it behind him.

For some reason, Adimi House felt unusually quiet tonight, lacking its usual lively atmosphere. Only one lamp was lit inside, something that would have been impossible before.

With doubt rising in his mind, Izay found the key to the main door, entered, and prepared to open it.

“Click—”

Unexpectedly, the door opened by itself before he could even insert anything.

Behind the door, a goddess with flowing azure hair, looking intellectual and gentle, appeared.

Startled by the sudden appearance, Artemis immediately tilted her body back and let out a soft scream, “Yaah~!” Then she retreated to a safe distance.

After a brief moment, she finally recognized who was standing outside.

“Izay?… You startled me!” Artemis pouted slightly, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

“Hmm… I noticed…” Izay smiled, scratching his cheek.

Seeing his expression, the goddess casually glanced at the sky outside and a warning bell rang in her heart. She looked at him suspiciously, “Why are you here now?”

“Ho ho, serious business~”

“What kind of serious business? Just so you know, I’ve already agreed with Demeter to stay at her place for two days. No funny thoughts allowed~!”

Facing Artemis’ suspicious and slightly wary look, Izay raised his hand to indicate his innocence.

“Not at all, I came here to study with you!”

??？

Coming with a book?

At first, Izay raised his hand and then spoke, so Artemis’s attention was drawn to the object in his hand.

Seeing the book, Artemis didn’t quite understand why he brought it.

Then she heard “study~”.

!!

—Alert!

Unfortunately, she realized too late. By the time she wanted to react, Izay had already stepped inside and closed the mansion door.

“Hehehehe…” It seemed there was some strange background sound, causing Artemis to instinctively take a step back, the soles of her slippers making a crisp sound against the floor.

“Strange, aren’t Letsha and the others here?”

However, after entering, Izay did not transform into a big gray wolf as Artemis had imagined. Instead, he first noticed the serene atmosphere and felt puzzled.

It was as if no one was home, with no sounds coming from inside.

“And Lady Artemis, why are you treating me like a thief?”

Although Izay didn’t deny his intentions were pure, you don’t need to be this guarded, right?

Even he wouldn’t start anything in the entrance hall.

Could this really be how you see me, Artemis?

Heartbreaking, isn’t it?

Currently, the inner activities of both people in the room were jumping and impure.

Just their imagination went in slightly different directions, which can be attributed to individual differences.

After all, different individuals experience things differently, but their results are the same.

Do you understand what I mean? (Sly smile.jpg)

“Why? It’s simply because your timing is convenient.”

After a while, Artemis sighed as if she had come to terms with something.

Izay tilted his head in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“I’m about to go stay with Demeter for two days… because there’s no one at home these days.”

“Did Letsha and the others go on a mission?”

“No, it’s a ‘mandatory expedition.'”

Artemis corrected Izay’s statement.

The Guild Headquarters issues “mandatory expeditions” to exploration factions whose overall strength reaches a certain level.

This means that every fixed period, they must go on an “expedition,” which is the obligation of large factions. They must achieve results during the “expedition” to be considered successful.

Even Loki and Freya Factions, known as the largest factions, do not escape this obligation and continue to undertake missions.

However, since they go to deeper areas, they are not frequently urged.

Artemis’ Familia is more or less in the same situation.

As mentioned before, Artemis and Uranus are in a cooperative relationship, both hoping to maintain peace in the lower realms.

So the former travels around constantly, while the latter restrains the dungeon to prevent monsters from surging onto the surface.

Now that Artemis has returned to Orario, Uranus, considering the contributions she has made over the years and their relationship, has provided her with convenience in many matters.

One of these conveniences is the expedition schedule.

After returning, a long blank period was specially given to allow her faction members to familiarize themselves with the dungeon and train their abilities.

It wasn’t until yesterday morning that the “mandatory expedition” task was issued. Letsha and the others spent a day preparing and set off today, aiming to reach the lower levels of the dungeon in the “Water Riddle City” area and bring back some monster samples as reference proof.

Roughly estimated, it will take three to four days.

Thus, there was the situation where Demeter invited Artemis to stay at her place for a few days, and she was intercepted by Izay just as she was about to leave.

Artemis: Just as I was about to leave, Izay blocked me. What should I do now!?

Sorry, Demeter… I might have to stand you up…..
