After leaving the Hostess of Fertility, it was nearing 3 PM and Vahn didn’t have anything planned. He thought about visiting the Twilight Manor and meeting with Tiona and Ais but didn’t think it would be appropriate at the moment. Vahn started to consider if he should be taking the next few days off in the real world while seriously …

After his parting words, Vahn actually took off running before Tsubaki could regain her composure. In a manner similar to their last parting, Vahn ran away so she wouldn’t thrash him in a fit of emotional outburst. Seeing him run away, Tsubaki broke out of her confusion before pulling out a hammer that she kept on her person at all …

Vahn answered the questions about the Matryoshka to the best of his ability, including the fact that it seemed to be a single-use item. He didn’t specifically say how he obtained it, instead claiming that it appeared within his soul in a similar manner as [Enkidu]. Since ‘The Path’, and the shop, were part of his soul, even Loki couldn’t …

Since there was now a much larger group of people that would be eating breakfast, Vahn had decided to use his system shop to substitute actual cooking and purchased a variety of baked goods for everyone to enjoy while Naaza, Lili, and Anubis prepared tea for the entire group. Everyone made somewhat casual conversation and talked about various matters while …

After the trio arrived in the dining room, both Naaza and Lili had headed towards the kitchen while having Vahn wait for breakfast. Even though he offered to help, they insisted that he relax and leave the cooking to them since it was a rare opportunity. Vahn accepted their offer before sitting at the low table and laying back on …

Over the course of the next three days within the orb, Vahn only spent about half the time forging as he did in the past. He had quickly reached the point where his cooperation with the ‘eternal flame’ was nearly flawless and he could retain more than 90% of any type of metal, including the difficult to work with ones …

When Vahn awoke early the next morning he could feel a pressure on his chest and, after moving the covers a bit, he could see that Lili had changed her position in the night and was now hugging his body like a koala. Vahn noticed that she was incredibly light so it wouldn’t have been that uncomfortable if not for …

Syr had been staring at the group standing around in a circle sniffing each other with a mildly humorous expression on her face. After she had helped Milan and Tina settle into their room and explained the situation to Mama Mia, she had doubled back and peeked through one of the windows to see if Vahn and the rest were …

Unaware of the meeting going on between the gods and their eventual confrontation with Ouranos, Vahn continued along the way with the rest of his entourage while carrying the sleeping Tina in his arms. Everyone remained relatively silent along the way as it was already late into the evening and the atmosphere wasn’t exactly conducive to conversation. Even Syr, who …

Hephaestus sighed at Loki’s outburst but also had a grim expression on her face as she explained, “This elevator leads to the throne of Ouranos…and the seal that keeps the dungeon sealed.” Unable to understand why Loki and Hephaestus were upset, Takemikazuchi asked, “Is it a bad thing that the dungeon is sealed? Isn’t it necessary to keep the One-Eyed …
