Izay helplessly swatted away Artemis’ outstretched jade hand, gripping it gently in his own.

After being enlightened, he too became aware.

The divinity gradually revealing itself within him would likely be a big issue.

If deities could all sense this kindred presence…

Then what would happen when he appeared in their line of sight?

There was no need to even guess.

Glancing down at the magical artifact robes still not removed from himself and Airuko, Izay began to feel fortunate for his impromptu action of draping one on himself earlier…

“You have this little one’s scent on you. Did you absorb her power?”

Without minding Izay’s act of holding her hand, Artemis sat beside him and asked.

“During the time I brought her out from the Original Beast Domain, I expended quite a lot of energy, so I absorbed some. Is there any taboo with doing this?”

“No taboos? Red Lake can safely absorb my power.”

After Izay finished speaking, Airuko immediately raised her small head to answer.

She saw Artemis not ruffling her hair but instead sitting affectionately beside Izay, so she pouted.

If that’s the case, she might as well continue having her head rubbed…

Holding some inexplicable thoughts, Airuko squeezed herself between the two, placing her small hands on her pale thighs, and sat down.

Beside them, Letsha, sitting alone, controlled her stiff cheeks not to make a sound, yet her gaze gradually became subtle.

In her eyes, those three on the sofa only needed a change of hair color to evoke a strong déjà vu of a family of three.

That tiny deity Izay brought from another world was just like a child afraid of losing her dad to her mom.

How cute!

The guild leader, very clear that she shouldn’t interrupt at this moment, continued to play the role of an invisible person.

“Red Lake? The empty fish Izay mentioned? By the way, didn’t your attendant come with you? Why don’t you call her out to see?”

Artemis remembered this name being mentioned earlier and thus extended the invitation.

Within Airuko’s mental space, Red Lake Bo could freely observe external situations.

As long as Airuko didn’t restrict her.

Now hearing Artemis’ words, she also emerged from the mental space.

A fish-shaped figure larger than an adult, shimmering with a charming luster, floated leisurely in the air.

“I greet you, divine being from Izay’s world. I am one of my master’s three servants, Red Lake Bo, paying my respects to you.”

Red Lake Bo did not mention her title as Earth God but emphasized her identity as a servant, marking a new beginning.

Let the title of Earth God remain forever in the End World.

Now following the young mistress to a new world, calling herself a servant was most appropriate.

Observing the empty fish with curious eyes for quite some time, Artemis nodded lightly.

“A pretty capable attendant… Stronger than most kids on our side. But you’re… female? Why do you have the name Red Lake Bo?”

The goddess was somewhat curious about this point.

Perhaps feeling unnatural about being asked such a thing, Red Lake Bo twisted her body.

“Hmm… It’s rather embarrassing… When I was first created by our master, I had no concept of gender… Until a few hundred years ago, after only the young mistress remained, I transformed into a female to better take care of her.”

“Eh~? Red Lake Bo wasn’t originally a girl? I didn’t know that.”

“It happened when you were still a young Star Goddess.”

Regarding Airuko’s curious gaze, Red Lake Bo answered reasonably.

“Ah, I see.” The little girl showed an expression of enlightenment.

Next, Izay continued, “Speaking of which, Lady Artemis, there’s something else regarding bringing Airuko here…”

“Do you want me to help her perform the ritual to seal her divine powers?”

“Uh… You guessed right~”

“Is it really that hard to guess?”

The brief conversation made Artemis smile faintly.

Upon seeing Airuko, she understood Izay’s intentions.

He wouldn’t have come through the front door in the middle of the night otherwise.

Normally… using the star coordinates in the room would be more likely…

After finishing her sentence, the goddess turned her gaze onto Izay: “Anyway, since it’s sealing, you should come along too. I’ll also cover up the divine aura on you, or you probably won’t be able to go out later.”

“Alright.”

The people of Orario all knew about the existence of a ritual used by deities to seal their own divine powers.

But how exactly it was done, no one had ever seen.

After all, it was a ritual for deities. Even if commoners were curious, it would be futile. They would never have use for it.

Of course, Izay was an exception.

And this self-sealing ritual wasn’t difficult either. For every deity who descended from Heaven, it was merely basic knowledge, kindergarten-level stuff from the Heavenly realm.

Artemis led Izay and Airuko to a secret chamber inside the Adimi House.

To prevent any accidental leakage of divine power, the location was chosen here.

While Letsha and Red Lake Bo waited outside, as they were outsiders to this ritual, entering might interfere with its operation.

The two self-sealing rituals didn’t take much time at all.

In less than half an hour, Artemis, Izay with his divine aura concealed, and Airuko who had fallen asleep reappeared before them.

“Lord Artemis, why is my mistress sleeping?”

Seeing Airuko asleep, Red Lake Bo approached concernedly to inquire.

“Sleep induced by the sealing of her powers, nothing serious,” Izay softly replied as he carried Airuko out of the chamber.

“After all, this little one can’t fully control her own powers yet… This situation will resolve naturally when she wakes up. At the latest, it’ll be tomorrow,” Artemis added.

“I understand now, thank you for the explanation.” Red Lake Bo politely bowed her head.

After finishing all these tasks, the time had already reached late night.

Carrying Airuko who had fallen asleep early, Izay and the others arrived at the second floor of the Adimi House, arranging nearby vacant rooms for Airuko and Red Lake Bo.

Letsha didn’t follow up, as she still had to keep watch tonight; work responsibilities couldn’t be neglected.

As for the last two, they entered a room with ease.

— To learn knowledge.

If one must explain, then it’s studying poetry… Studying “Peach Blossom Spring.”

Afterward, an hour passed, and it was time to relax and enjoy the night view.

— Listening to the wind and rain at midnight, though it looked quite poetic…

But who watches the rain at such a late hour!?

And even leaning against the wall, sticking close to the window to watch the rain!?

Artemis wanted to grab Izay’s ears and question him like this.

Unfortunately, due to the comfort of the rain scene, she went soft all over, leaving this idea stuck in her mind.
