Chapter 89: Let’s Talk Nicely, Don’t Try to Pull Down My Pants! (First Update of the Day! Begging for Subscriptions!)

All day long.

This was the time Izay spent with Artemis today.

As the sun set and the sky grew dim, the magic stone lamps hanging overhead lit up, faintly illuminating all of Orario.

Even though it was approaching night, Orario was more lively at night than during the day.

This was determined by Orario’s unique occupational nature.

The vitality of the vendors lining the main streets never waned; each one lit their magic stone lamps in preparation to continue waiting for a bountiful opportunity.

East Street.

The boy and goddess walked along the main road paved with red bricks, strolling leisurely down the street.

The evening breeze brought a comfortable coolness, fluttering her aqua blue hair.

On her wrist was an aqua blue decorative bracelet she had bought while shopping, adding a touch of grace to the goddess’s appearance.

Underfoot, the high-heeled sandals that Izay had half-coaxed, half-forced her into wearing clicked against the ground with a “tap tap tap” sound.

Artemis, who initially couldn’t quite get used to these shoes, now had them completely under control.

Listening to this rhythmic-like crisp sound, a natural smile appeared on Izay’s lips.

The magic stone lamps lighting the roadside, the laughter of the demi-human shopkeepers and customers, the bustling atmosphere of the street made one involuntarily immerse themselves in it.

Artemis took everything around her into view, her originally smiling eyes becoming somewhat profound.

How long has it been since the last time she wandered leisurely through Orario like this, putting aside other trivial matters?

It should have been a very long time ago by now…

She seemed to remember it was around the time she first descended from the heavens.

“Miss Artemis, how about another round of octopus balls~”

Just as Artemis was enjoying this tranquility and reflecting, a voice came from beside her.

“Ah—”

Before she could refuse, an octopus ball still slightly warm was already being held up to her mouth.

“Weren’t we just having dinner? Are you trying to stuff me to death?”

Artemis glanced sideways at Izay with a slight glare but still opened her cherry lips and lightly bit into it.

Orario’s food industry was indeed quite developed. In terms of cuisine, the residents here absolutely buried their heads in development, absorbing the best from all over the world, far surpassing other fields.

Octopus balls, crepes, pancakes, various cold mixed snacks, nothing was missing.

After all, they served the deities; it was impossible to neglect the deities’ indulgence in food.

Similarly, other aspects of life were also well taken care of.

And the portions here were quite generous. The size of the octopus balls was such that Artemis couldn’t bite the whole thing at once, only managing to take about half of it.

After slowly swallowing the octopus ball in her mouth, Artemis looked at the remaining half in front of her and thought about finishing it off.

There was no sense of estrangement, and shyness had long become a habit. Throughout the day, she had been fed many times.

However, just as she slightly parted her pink lips, Izay took back the remaining half without hesitation and popped it into his own mouth.

“Mm, there’s a hint of sweetness compared to before.”

While eating, Izay gave a vague evaluation.

Startled by this action, Artemis blinked several times and was momentarily stunned.

In no time, her tender cheeks flushed red.

Habituated? ???

“I-Izay! How dare you eat something I’ve already eaten!?”

Artemis stamped her foot in embarrassment.

Isn’t this what they call… indirect… indirect kissing?

They’ve held hands, hugged, even dated, and yet this person still wasn’t satisfied?

“Hmm… because I wanted to eat it?”

Facing the goddess’s embarrassed question, Izay thought for a moment before giving a reply.

“Who asked you that!?”

Didn’t you just ask me that?

Izay instinctively retorted in his mind but couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

Miss Artemis is so cute right now, I want to…

At this moment, seeing that he wasn’t saying anything, Artemis looked up to check the situation and found Izay grinning mischievously.

“You’re definitely thinking some weird things! I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”

“Hmph, how do you know… cough, how can you think such things? Miss Artemis, my thoughts are utterly pure~”

“Like I’d believe that.”

……

In the inner area of East Street, in front of a large inn built with brick walls and topped with wooden structures, two girls sat helplessly supporting their cheeks outside the inn.

“Aaaaaah—”

“Why hasn’t Miss Artemis returned yet?”

“My flowers have wilted waiting!”

“Could it be that Izay tricked Miss Artemis into going somewhere else?”

After a while longer, the blue-haired half-elf girl Lanti finally couldn’t hold back any longer. She flung her hands behind her, lay down backward, stretched out her legs, and complained like a spoiled child.

The young ladies within Artemis’s faction knew that Miss Artemis would be spending the day alone with Izay.

So early in the morning, they decided to play outside until nightfall to give them space.

Surprisingly,

Now that it was night, they had all returned.

But neither Artemis nor Izay had shown up yet.

This was… hard to describe.

The fact that Artemis hadn’t returned yet sparked all sorts of speculations and concerns about the current state of the two parties involved.

Come to think of it, humans are strange creatures.

Those who created this situation were them, and those who couldn’t help but worry now were also them.

“Cough, Lanti, watch your words.”

Upon hearing this, Letsha helplessly covered her cheeks.

Though she too had similar thoughts, these kinds of things should only be thought in one’s heart.

Publicly speaking slanderous words about the main deity is unacceptable.

Letsha felt both helpless and somewhat surprised in her heart.

Can it be…

Could the goddess really not return tonight?

Wouldn’t that mean…

Shaking her head, Letsha indicated that she couldn’t bring herself to think further.

But deep inside, a little figure was eagerly rubbing its hands together: “What’s so bad about it? If Izay gets Artemis Goddess, wouldn’t we be liberated? Liberation forever!!”

With a slap, the faction leader quickly banished the little figure and cleared all those messy thoughts from her mind.

Because…

“Lanti, stop complaining. Miss Artemis… Miss Artemis has returned…”

Letsha noticed the familiar blue-haired silhouette on the street and was about to scold Lanti when she froze.

Oh no!

Miss Artemis learned how to dress herself?!

The breathtaking beauty of the goddess in casual attire left even her two closest companions momentarily stunned.

And Miss Artemis was even blushing!!!

Letsha almost dropped her jaw as she watched the goddess lower her head with red cheeks and briskly walk towards the inn entrance beside her.

In her current state of embarrassment, the goddess didn’t notice the two members of her faction at the door and directly returned to her room inside the inn.

Only after the greeting from the elf receptionist at the inn counter did she barely snap out of it.

Lanti noticed this situation as well and didn’t perform much better than Letsha.

The two exchanged glances, seemingly able to feel each other’s emotions.

Truly… unprecedented!

Izay followed a few steps behind, saw the two girls at the inn entrance, and couldn’t help but shake his head with a laugh.

“Good afternoon, Letsha, Lanti. Oh, it should be good evening, shouldn’t it~”

“Izay!”

“What did you do to Miss Artemis!?”

Hearing Izay’s voice, the two girls immediately turned into wolves spotting a trapped lamb, their eyes flashing with dangerous light.

Actually, it was curiosity (gossip mentality) they couldn’t contain, wanting to quickly understand the first-hand information.

“Wait, let’s talk nicely, don’t try to pull down my pants!”
