Chapter 485: The Conclusion is Already Clear (Please Subscribe!)

The explosions in the northwest district continued to echo.

Affected by this, unrest also spread through the Adimi House where Izay resided.

“What’s going on? What’s happening!?”

“Are they setting off fireworks so early in the morning!?”

“Don’t disturb people’s sleep so early!”

Some of the girls resting in their chambers were forced to wake up due to the explosions echoing in their ears at dawn, carrying a grudge…

Some girls have serious morning tempers, and those who disturb their sleep usually don’t end well.

Though there are cases like Lanti, who despite the continuous explosions outside, still sleeps soundly in her blanket—such situations aren’t unheard of.

But it’s true that Letsha and others were disturbed by the explosions.

By the time Izay and Artemis descended from their second-floor rooms to the reception hall, they saw the guild leader sighing while conversing with another girl named Sophia.

“Artemis-sama… Did the situation outside wake you too?”

“Not exactly. I was already awake before that… Thanks to someone over there～!”

In response to Letsha’s words, Artemis shook her head and meaningfully glanced at Izay.

He acted as if he didn’t see the small emotions in the goddess’s eyes, flashing her a smile.

This level of teasing didn’t bother Izay at all.

It was Letsha and Sophia who blushed.

Since their relationship with Izay became obvious to the other girls, Artemis-sama seemed increasingly unconcerned about such matters, occasionally spouting lewd jokes without hesitation.

Is this what they call “birds of a feather flock together”?!

They somewhat missed the old Artemis-sama.

Letsha and Sophia exchanged glances, catching each other’s thoughts.

“Let’s not talk about that for now… There’s the sound of a battle starting outside, probably instigated by Apollo. Though we don’t know if we can help now, but could you do me a favor, Letsha? Go and ‘check’ the situation.”

Artemis didn’t notice the private exchange within her faction but earnestly requested Letsha with emphasis on the word “check.”

“Indeed… If this is your wish, I will act accordingly.” Letsha’s pupils flashed with understanding.

Just moments ago, she and Sophia were discussing the battle outside.

Because their sleep was disturbed, plus Orario hadn’t seen fighting within the city for years.

It’s safe to say that all factions in the city are highly concerned about this skirmish.

As the leader of a faction, Letsha naturally couldn’t stand idly by, so she immediately gathered information.

Now, smaller factions are feeling uneasy about this unexpected conflict, fearing they might be the next target.

Meanwhile, larger factions like Loki and Freya are likely laughing at Apollo’s foolishness while watching from the sidelines, enjoying the chaos.

Only deities closely related to Hestia, like Artemis, Takemikazuchi, or Mihe, would consider how to intervene in this fight.

Letsha knows the relationship between her deity and Goddess Hestia, so she isn’t surprised by this divine command.

The reason she’s sent alone is also understandable.

Apollo’s faction only has one Level 3 member; sending out Level 4 Letsha is already giving him respect.

With Izay’s support, Artemis’ faction boasts one Level 4 member, multiple Level 3 members, earning them an A rating from the Guild.

That’s quite high, only Level 5 factions can achieve S rating.

……

Watching Letsha leave the Adimi House with her bow and arrow set, Artemis sighed slightly.

“I hope Hestia doesn’t get hurt in this disturbance. Under the Guild’s restrictions, I can only help her so much.”

Although Izay told her that Hestia’s child has the strength to defeat Apollo’s strongest member.

But they are many.

Hestia’s faction only has one.

Under such an attack, Artemis isn’t worried about adventurer Bell Cranel.

She’s more concerned about her friend Hestia.

After all, the physical form of gods in the lower world is well understood.

Even a minor injury is enough to cause her great suffering.

“If Goddess Hestia isn’t stupid, she won’t sit idly by facing such an attack. She will likely accept Apollo’s war game challenge?” Izay reasoned after some thought.

Rather than dragging things out and constantly facing attacks from large numbers, it’s better to make a decisive last stand.

Both parties’ strongest members are Level 3, and Hestia does have the capital to turn the tables.

War games also have rules requiring one-on-one victories…

“I hope Hestia gets a bit lucky～” With this thought, Artemis muttered aloud.

But soon her tone changed as she looked upstairs, “It’s so noisy outside, why hasn’t little Eluca made any noise? Is she still asleep?”

“The Red Lake Master isolated the noise with mental power the moment the explosion occurred. Eluca can’t hear the commotion.” Izay explained, perceiving the mental barrier set by the Red Lake Master.

Artemis: “…”

For a moment, the goddess fell silent.

How reckless to rely on such strong mental power—she had to endure this noise in such a situation.

Her thoughts flickered, then Artemis lifted her chin slightly, focusing her attention on Izay.

“Hmm… Why are you staring at me, Artemis-sama?”

“Can you create a barrier for me too? Let me rest properly.” The goddess, lacking sufficient sleep, made her request.

Immediately, Izay marveled at his goddess’s intelligence.

Accompanying Artemis back to her room, he set up a mental barrier that would last a few hours, then exited the room.

Unlike Artemis, Izay wasn’t affected by staying up all night, so full of energy, he directly went out to start his day’s activities.

Firstly, Northwest Street wasn’t part of his plans today.

A faction conflict whose conclusion is already clear isn’t worth paying attention to.

Nor would he go to North Street today, unsure if Loki is still upset, he’d rather wander around outside for the day.

South Street wasn’t considered either.

The south side is a bustling street with many casinos and large theaters, a playground exclusive to deities. As an adventurer, he would stick out like a sore thumb there, plus Izay dislikes gambling, even disapproving of it.

Southwest Street, most famous for the Battle Wilderness, the base of Goddess Freya.

What’s a member of Loki Familia doing there? Picking a fight?

Hmm, sounds exciting.

Maybe he could use this chance to beat up Ota.

Definitely worth considering!
