Before leaving with Airuko, Izay set the “Mysterious Anchor Point” teleportation coordinates to the second floating island.

This place is commonly known as the “World Tree’s Marrow,” located at the center of the entire floating continent cluster.

It should theoretically be the central hub for all trade among the floating islands. However, due to the presence residing here, this phenomenon never fully developed.

Because this is the residence of the Earth Deity Heichaku, who created the floating continent cluster.

The reason there are over a hundred floating islands in the sky, defying the laws of nature, is due to the combined efforts of Heichaku and the Great Sage.

Originally, no outsiders were allowed to enter here.

But strictly speaking, Izay isn’t really an outsider.

To the Earth Deities, someone acknowledged by the Star Deity is considered one of their own.

So when Heichaku learned that Izay wanted to temporarily establish a spatial coordinate point, he directly recommended his own territory.

It’s spacious, safe, hidden, and allows immediate knowledge of the master’s safe return—truly hitting three birds with one stone. Could there be a better choice?

Izay thought there was.

For example, the Fairy Warehouse would be great. Though now it should be called the “Fairy Home.”

After taking over the Fairy Warehouse on the 68th floating island, Izay immediately renamed it because the name “Fairy Warehouse” sounded a bit off-putting.

He then applied for a bunch of privileges within the allowable range.

The best coordinate location in Izay’s mind was there.

But for now… just use the second island temporarily; it can be changed later. No need to worry about these details this time.

In the middle of the second island, inside a massive tower made of black crystal, somewhere within a room.

The interior of the room has a standard bedroom layout. Izay set the spatial coordinates of the “Mysterious Anchor Point” here, meaning the next time he returns to this world, he will appear directly in this room.

After confirming that Airuko was ready, Izay activated the “Mysterious Anchor Point” with a thought. Under the watchful eyes of Heichaku outside the window, the two figures suddenly disappeared without a trace.

“The visitor from another world… truly remarkable abilities… As someone of the same rank as my lord, perhaps only you could take care of her properly…”

In the now empty room, the low muttering of the dark Earth Deity echoed faintly.

…

Labyrinth City Orario.

Droplets of water continuously fell from the sky, hitting the ground with dense pitter-patter sounds.

When night first fell, the golden moon still hung high in the night sky, but soon after, thick clouds covered the sky, bringing down heavy rain.

Outside the buildings, pedestrians ran around frantically, desperately searching for shelter. Within a few breaths, the streets were completely deserted.

“Izay, this is rain, right? It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

However, there were two exceptions walking through the streets under the cover of night.

The falling raindrops seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, not a single drop landing on their clothes, and there were no visible signs of dampness except around their feet.

One small figure extended a pale, delicate hand from beneath her cloak, trying to catch the raindrops, feeling the sensation of them landing in her palm, laughing happily at the novelty.

“Is this your first time seeing rain?” Izay looked down at the young girl in his arms, his tone somewhat surprised. “During the time when humans were active in your world five hundred years ago, rain shouldn’t have been rare, right?”

“It is indeed like that, but I’ve always stayed inside the starship since I was little, so I’ve never been outside and haven’t seen it.”

Airuko stretched out her hand to enjoy the nourishment of the rain curtain while answering Izay’s question.

Understanding the reason from her words, Izay sighed softly and ruffled her head twice. “Seeing it for the first time is fine; there will be plenty more opportunities like this in the future.”

If I’m not mistaken, it’s the rainy season in Orario right now.

It’s likely that it will rain frequently during this period.

Then Airuko will have plenty of chances to see the rain.

But before that, Izay still had to take her through a process.

The process that all gods in the Dungeon World must go through—the process of sealing divine power.

Izay himself didn’t know how to do this, but he knew someone who did. So immediately after coming out of the dungeon with Airuko, they were already heading there.

Both of them wore hooded robes, which were Izay’s practice work during his spare time and belonged to the category of high-grade magical artifacts.

The main additional attribute was “concealment.”

Wearing these robes, wherever they went, people would subconsciously ignore them, even effective to some extent against deities.

Airuko wearing it could temporarily avoid the risk of exposure.

After all, there are deities everywhere in this city, who knows where one might pop up.

If they discover Airuko’s identity as a deity and find out she descended without undergoing the divine power seal, things would get complicated.

Probably, at that point, the best course of action would be to kill her beforehand to prevent rumors from spreading.

Fortunately, with the blessing of luck, the two didn’t encounter any wandering deities or even passersby on their way, arriving smoothly at Izay’s destination.

“Adimi House.”

Taking out the key from his personal space, Izay opened the iron front gate of the Adimi House.

However, as soon as he stepped inside, he was discovered.

Currently, the Artemis Familial Group is considered a mid-to-upper-level faction within Orario, and it’s only natural to have someone keeping watch at night.

Due to the rain curtain, visibility wasn’t clear at night, so today’s night guard was highly alert upon discovering someone.

Why not full alertness? Because the “intruder” came through the main entrance, and judging by the sound, they entered by opening the door.

Such behavior that doesn’t resemble an intruder slightly relaxed the guard’s vigilance.

After all, their Familial Group, aside from internal members, also has an external member who possesses the key to the Adimi House, something everyone in the group knows.

Sure enough, when the night guard saw the approaching shadow and raised the magic stone lantern in hand, a familiar figure appeared.

“It’s Izay… what are you doing coming to our house at such a late hour? Even if it’s something important, isn’t it too late?”

“Ah, Letsha, sorry for disturbing you at night, but this time I really have business with Lady Artemis, very serious business.”

Izay waved to the familiar night guard and explained.

“You call this serious business? Showing up in the middle of the night with a little girl?”

Letsha’s expression was extremely strange, and her look at Izay was almost indescribable.
