Chapter 536: What are you implying at this hour? (Please subscribe!)

“Izay? Young Izay—! Hold on, there’s mail for your Familial Group here!!”

“Hm? Master Hyudra? What mail?”

Izay, who was about to return to the Twilight Manor, stopped in his tracks and looked toward the goblin running towards him.

Goblins, though a type of fairy race, actually don’t look much different from humans.

The goblin who called out to Izay was an old man who seemed kind, with a long white beard.

His name is Hyudra Earth Great伦奥德斯, a steady and amiable goblin elder who loves drinking.

He seemed to have just recovered from the scene of the deity being sent back, and when he called out to Izay, there was still a bit of bewilderment on his face.

But as soon as he saw Izay looking over, he quickly adjusted himself.

A smile appeared on his wrinkled face: “It’s something sent from the Elven Royal Forest, addressed to that [Nine Demon Princess]. You’re going home now, right? Then take this along the way!”

Saying that, he jogged into the building behind him and reappeared holding a square box wrapped in fine packaging.

As the manager of the safety deposit boxes, by rule, the goblin elder should personally deliver goods of this level to the Twilight Manor.

But it’s already nighttime, outside of working hours.

Just as he happened to see the familiar Izay passing by, the goblin elder thought it would be simpler to have him carry it.

After all, Izay and that [Nine Demon Princess] are companions in the same Familial Group, so maybe this could strengthen their relationship~

And he could save some time tomorrow to drink~

“Alf’s Royal Forest…?” Izay murmured softly as he took the box from him.

“Yes… This mail only arrived in Orario at dusk today, but I went drinking and forgot to deliver it to the [Nine Demon Princess]. I planned to send it tomorrow morning, but now that I’ve met you, can you do me a favor and take it over? Next time I’ll give you free postage~”

The goblin elder laughed ha-ha, scratched his head, and even tried to tempt him.

Izay couldn’t help but chuckle wryly: “No need for that, I’ll help.”

It doesn’t take much effort anyway, just a small favor.

“By the way, what’s inside? It should be from the Elven King, right?”

After all, Riviria is a princess of the Elf Race, the daughter of the current Elven King.

The father sending something to his daughter is reasonable.

However, there were no markings on the box. Perhaps the Elven King wanted to surprise his daughter, so he didn’t annotate what was inside.

“I’m not sure… You know, we never privately check the contents of the mail.” The goblin elder said.

This is professional integrity, a principle that goblins will never violate.

(Hmm… it feels like opening a blind box, making me quite curious…)

Izay weighed the box lightly, faintly hearing the sound of the item inside shaking. By feel alone, it might contain more than one gift.

But this has nothing to do with Izay.

Because this box belongs to Riviria, and if it’s to be opened, Riviria should open it.

Just bring it honestly to the teacher.

“Is this the only box? Nothing else left behind?”

Thinking of this, Izay cautiously asked.

“Nothing else, just this one!”

“Alright, then I’ll leave first? Gotta go home and collect clothes before dark.”

“Huh? Last time you bragged that a girl washes your clothes for you!?”

“Calm down, don’t worry about those details.”

In response to the goblin elder’s somewhat astonished reaction, Izay just smiled and waved his hand, then turned around and left with the box.

On the way, there were people everywhere who were still in shock after witnessing the deity being sent back.

You could also see the guild staff rushing towards the southeast area.

The moment the news reached the Guild Headquarters, the high-ranking members of the guild immediately responded and contacted the Urban Constabulary, the Ganesha Familial Group.

Unfortunately, both sides’ teams were blocked by members of the Freya Familial Group outside the Pleasure Quarter.

Not long after, the Familial War had already ended, and things had developed into the current situation.

The return of a deity… anyone could tell with their knees how complicated the follow-up handling of this matter would be.

And the person who did this is the goddess reigning at the top of the city, so the guild cannot impose severe punishment.

Under the pressure of her power, they can only deal with it leniently.

Truly a headache!

…

…

Northern District, Twilight Manor.

The red-haired goddess gazed toward the direction of the Pleasure Quarter, and for the first time in a while, she grinned.

“All at once, they’re done… And without mercy too. That Freya finally did something useful, instead of rotting up there in her Babel Tower all day～”

Due to her understanding of Freya, Loki had anticipated this scene beforehand. So now she wasn’t very surprised, and even had the mood to make sarcastic remarks.

And beside her, the three bigwigs of the Familial Group gathered together, each reacting differently.

“This incident seems pretty serious, huh? Since the end of the Dark Ages, this is the first time a deity has been sent back to the heavens.”

Finn sighed helplessly.

“Even if it’s serious, it has nothing to do with us. It’s Ishtar’s own fault.”

Riviria stood by the window, leisurely sipping her tea.

Hmm… Drinking tea while watching the drama unfold, the princess of the elf race certainly has that vibe!

“I agree with Riviria’s opinion. If this thing doesn’t affect us, then let it be however it wants.”

Gress followed suit.

The dwarf elder’s mindset was a typical Zen attitude.

You guys fight as much as you want, as long as it doesn’t involve me, I don’t care～

Compared to these two somewhat indifferent attitudes, Finn, as the leader of the Familial Group, showed a little… seriousness.

Standing objectively, he got nitpicky!

“Mama-san is right, Finn. Being sent back is entirely Ishtar’s own fault! Even if Freya hadn’t acted, considering how many times she’s attacked us, do you think I’d just sit idly by?”

Loki proudly tilted her head, seemingly believing that her characteristic of revenge was very precious.

This unwarranted confidence made the three bigwigs ignore her altogether, treating their main deity as if she had another episode.

Instead, they paid attention to something else.

“Huh? Isn’t that young Izay? He’s been out playing all day and is just coming back now?”

Gress slightly shifted his position, accidentally blocking Finn while also spotting the figure entering the courtyard.

Finn, who was blocked by the burly dwarf: “……”

“The box in Izay’s arms…?”

Riviria raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling that the box was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

“If you’re curious, Mama-san, why don’t you just ask him?”

Loki, who had already moved inside and started pouring herself a drink, replied unconsciously.

“Are you asking me to seek out a male at this late hour?”

Hearing this, Riviria turned around with an extremely strange expression.

Is she suggesting something?

To a much younger junior and student?

Who would have thought you’d be such a Loki!

“Pfft—! Cough cough cough…”

Suddenly choking on her drink, Loki hastily waved her hands.

No!

I didn’t mean that!

I absolutely didn’t mean that!

With Ais gone, how could she possibly push Mama-san into the fire pit?!

If she really did that, Loki felt she would die from heartbreak!
