Back at the Adimi House.

The banquet of the Artemis Familia continued deep into the night before finally concluding. Perhaps due to the excitement of being in a new big family, the little fairy tots were so lively that they gave everyone a headache. The young ladies of the Artemis Familia almost had to take care of one fairy each to get the situation under control. However, because of this, Letsha and Kodori quickly became good friends. As senior figures, Artemis and Nigoran expressed their satisfaction. The latter even felt like she was in heaven! As an ogre, it was such a rare opportunity for her to meet so many human girls… Nigoran said she would die without regrets! Her only dream now was to fatten them all up! This was a habit of the ogres from the end-of-the-world era. Like carefully nurturing lambs to be fattened, they wanted to take good care of their desired ones! Whether or not there would be a chance to eat them aside, Nigoran has never eaten humans anyway. Compared to the result, Nigoran values the process more — mainly the experience of taking care of humans, something ogres haven’t done for nearly five hundred years. It was her first time in five hundred years! So she was very happy!

On the other hand, Artemis seemed a bit melancholic. Because during the day, she was busy taking care of the little fairies, and in the evening, she was also troubled by Izay. Truly, it was quite helpless. Moreover, she didn’t know when it started, but Izay had become very fond of silk items. Maybe he was attracted by the soft texture, or maybe he was indulging in the contrast and haziness brought by different scenes and tones. In any case, the number of socks and silk clothes being reimbursed recently was rather high. The goddess’s wardrobe reserve was running low, and it seemed she needed to restock soon. For this, the goddess couldn’t help but harbor a little resentment. Although she herself enjoyed it too…

The next day, around noon, Artemis sat in front of the mirror in her room while Izay combed her hair behind her, with very skilled movements. Originally, Izay had never practiced combing girls’ hair from childhood. But after doing it many times in the past two years, he gradually became proficient. In the smooth mirror reflection, the goddess yawned gracefully, still looking sleepy. On her white and slender legs, she wore semi-transparent white stockings, with slightly asymmetrical tones but still exuding delicate beauty. Gently wiggling her small toes, Artemis rubbed the corners of her eyes and murmured, “Izay, is it okay for you to stay here recently? Shouldn’t your Familia be very busy?”

It was heard that Freya Familia had paused exploring the dungeon and sent people to deal with the invasion of the Lagia Kingdom. Someone even saw Ota, the “Brave One,” on the plains outside the city. As another major faction in Orario, Loki Familia should be very busy too. But why was it different for Izay?

Almost never seen him doing serious work. He seemed to be idle all day. Loki didn’t seem to manage him either. (Loki: I can’t control him!)

Artemis didn’t know that Loki actually hoped Izay spent more time outside. That way, he wouldn’t have time to make moves on the young ladies in his Familia. After all, unlike Finn, Gress, and Raul, Izay set a precedent!

“Loki recently assigned me a task, saying I don’t need to deal with Ares God’s invasion… It’s a pretty simple task, just takes some time.”

Izay smoothly ran his fingers through the azure locks in front of him and gently combed out the knots with a wooden comb. Artemis’s hair quality was actually excellent and didn’t need much maintenance; gods didn’t have to worry about such trivial things. Izay just simply tidied it up to satisfy the goddess’s small whimsy of not wanting to do it herself.

“You do have work then? Why haven’t I seen you busy?”

“Uh… because I finished it long ago…”

The task was for Izay to investigate the artificial dungeon and ideally produce a detailed map. Such tasks naturally took time, but that was for ordinary adventurers. With his map hack and full vision, Izay completed the task the same day Loki instructed him. The reason he kept quiet was that he wanted to roam around a bit longer, just like now.

“So you’re sneaking around and playing outside without Loki knowing?”

Artemis nodded slightly. Seeing Izay finish combing her hair, she stood up immediately, her soft feet in white stockings stepping on the carpet in the room. She then reached for the closet nearby.

“Not exactly sneaking, Loki probably guessed I had this idea.”

Compared to Artemis who was just thinking about what to wear today, Izay was already well-dressed. He sat facing away from the mirror, appreciating the beautiful scene in front of him.

“Yeah, after all, she is the Goddess of Trickery~” Artemis nodded nonchalantly and then looked at Izay, “So what are your plans for today?”

If there were no plans, she would drag him along for shopping. After all, he wasted so many of her sleepwear sets. This was the last remaining one.

“I plan to check out the dungeon today, with friends, and also investigate the middle layer.”

Izay, unaware of the goddess’s little grudge, answered truthfully.

“You mean those sudden appearances of white fog?”

She had heard about the fog suddenly appearing in the dungeon. She had warned Letsha and others before that if they encountered it during exploration, they should avoid it as much as possible.

“Yes, I want to see if there’s anything special about these fogs. Even if they really can randomly teleport people out of Orario, I can ensure my own safety.”

Izay was extremely confident about this. Space Magic plus mysterious anchor points… he was undoubtedly the most qualified person in Orario to explore the mystery of these fogs, without exception! Even if teleported, he could return quickly.

Artemis understood his situation and didn’t say anything to dissuade him, just responded faintly, “Then be careful.”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

“I was actually thinking about asking you to accompany me shopping today…”

“Eh, next time, definitely next time~”
