Chapter 199

Chapter 201: Due to Various Situations

Ais, Tiona, and Tione returned slightly later from their practice in the Dungeon during some free time, only to find Izay and Loki entangled near the entrance of the Familial Group’s residence. They were confused by the situation.

“—Miss Ais!”

Reafia, who was initially drawn to Izay and Loki, immediately shifted her attention to Ais upon seeing her appear.

“Reafia…” The blonde girl nodded lightly in greeting after calling out her name, then returned to her previous topic, “What are Izay and Loki doing?”

“As for that… I’m not sure either. They said something about buying alcohol…”

Reafia had initially thought she would be harassed again when she first saw Loki, but upon realizing Loki’s target wasn’t her, she happily ignored what the two were saying.

“No good, Reafia! You shouldn’t mention anything related to ‘alcohol’ in front of Ais!” Tiona beside her wagged a finger with a rather serious expression as a warning.

The small fairy weakly nodded, “Y-Yes…”

“After all, Ais doesn’t have a great tolerance for alcohol… Last time she almost sent Loki back to the heavens after drinking.”

“Tione, please… stop talking.”

“Hehe, Ais’s face is so red~”

The blonde girl blushed and lowered her head, while Tiona got closer from the side. Meanwhile, Refia looked flustered, and Tione kept laughing, creating an ever-so-familiar cheerful atmosphere among the four.

Nearby, Izay effortlessly blended into them after just being extorted by the main god.

And that main god who extorted Izay? In the blink of an eye, he was punished by Ais the moment he approached with a lewd expression.

It was another peaceful day.

Afterward, Izay went to see Artemis, something he wouldn’t forget to do every day recently.

The goddess located a suitable place within the fifth district of Orario, the southwestern residential area, to establish the Familial Group’s headquarters.

The name was still decided to be Adimi House. Currently, the place was undergoing renovation and refurbishment based on the existing building, with the mansion’s layout entirely designed according to Artemis’s preferences, incorporating many of Izay’s suggestions in the process.

As for the costs? He claimed full reimbursement from Uranus!

For unknown reasons, Letsha and the others hadn’t arrived in Orario yet, seemingly delayed by something…

But it was fine anyway. Since the Adimi House in Orario was still under renovation, even if they came earlier, they wouldn’t have anywhere to stay temporarily, so it might be better if they came later.

On this point, both Izay and Artemis agreed.

Then… due to various circumstances, Izay ended up spending another night away.

……

This tranquil peace continued for over a month.

One early morning, inside Loki’s Divine Room.

“Waking me up so early to level up? Why couldn’t you come last night? Must you bother me in the morning…,” Loki appeared before Izay in her pajamas, yawning obviously disgruntled by his early disturbance.

“Hmm, last night I saw Anqi and the others updating their ability values… So I thought I’d delay mine,” Izay scratched his nose and chuckled sheepishly in response to Loki’s reprimand.

He did want to update his ability values last night, but a group of girls cut in front of him. It wasn’t really about feeling awkward; there were just too many people.

Loki’s Familial Group was already female-dominated, and last night it seemed Anqi and the others had planned together to update their ability values, dragging a bunch of girls along to find Loki. If he queued up, Izay figured he’d have to wait until midnight.

So, deciding to delay, Izay waited till now.

“Sigh… Alright, alright… Who makes me work so hard?” Loki scratched her head, accidentally knocking off her sleepwear hood, which she carelessly tossed aside, signaling Izay to start preparing.

Skillfully operating the divine script on Izay’s back, Loki’s drowsy eyes slightly lifted, glancing at the status.

“Ah, you can level up… Want to upgrade?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Alright, alright, let’s do it for you…”

Maybe she was mostly still asleep, Loki’s voice sounded lethargic, as if she could fall back asleep any second.

Just as Izay expected.

Loki indeed rested late last night, and because of her attempts to take advantage during the process, the time spent on updates was further delayed.

Now, in the early morning, she lacked energy.

“What development abilities do you want? ‘Anomaly Resistance,’ ‘Rapid Recovery,’ ‘Magical Arts,’ ‘Healing Power,’ ‘Preemptive Strike,’ ‘Starshine,’ or six options total.”

“I’ll go with ‘Magical Arts’ and ‘Starshine.'” After a brief consideration, Izay replied.

If his guess was correct, ‘Starshine’ should also be a development ability that enhances magical power.

Coupled with ‘Magical Arts,’ which similarly boosts magical power.

Adding these two together would double the fun.

In the future, he would be the strongest in magic output in Orario! No one else!

“Alright, I’ll choose these two for you.”

She extended her hand and began manipulating the divine script on Izay’s back. As Loki’s fingers moved, the number representing Lv. on the divine script suddenly flickered, indicating the completion of the level-up.

“Level-up done~ Here are your ability values.”

[Adventurer Name]: Ize Alward

[Level]: Lv.4

[Ability Values]: Strength: SSS1999→I0 | Endurance: SSS1999→I0 | Agility: SSS1999→I0 | Speed: SSS1999→I0 | Magic: SSS1999→I0

[Development Abilities]: ‘Mystery F,’ ‘Dark Star F,’ ‘Luck H,’ ‘Morning Star I,’ ‘Magical Arts I,’ ‘Starshine I’

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Sitting in the chair, Izay clicked his tongue looking at his scorecard.

With six development abilities, there was absolutely no third person in all of Orario who possessed six such abilities.

After all, other adventurers would need to reach Lv.7 to possibly obtain six development abilities.

Orario’s known Lv.7 was only one.

[Mighty One] Ota.

Not mentioning the quantity of development abilities.

After completing the level-up, Izay also received the effects of the exclusive development ability ‘Starshine.’

‘Starshine’ is a development ability that enhances his magic effectiveness, range, and scope, with the enhancement increasing according to its level.

Which matched his speculation perfectly.

However, based on feedback from the skill, it seemed that arrows condensed from magic power were also included in the enhancement provided by ‘Starshine.’

“An unexpected bonus.” Izay smiled faintly, murmuring softly.

But the next second,

“Don’t think about bonuses or expectations! Get out once you’re done! I want to catch up on my sleep!”

The main god’s voice rang out, and Izay was promptly kicked out of the room.

“Don’t forget to handle your scorecard yourself!” Loki reminded him one last time.

Izay: “…”
