Baili did not continue the topic, because his plan had already been decided.
Instead of playing house with Orario's familia, it's better to give them a chance to challenge themselves.
Thinking this, Baili looked at Hestia and quickly changed the subject.
"Putting that aside, when you went to find Hephaestus, was she still working?"
"Yes, she said she wanted to forge all the monster materials that Mr. Baili had sent over before, to check their materials and effects, and to see if they could be used to create powerful weapons; so when I left, Hephaestus asked me to give her my regards, and then she went back into the workshop."
"We should give her a reward then."
Baili had made such a promise before.
After the two finished talking, Chunji asked curiously.
"Assuming those people want to cooperate with Lord Baili, won't there be internal competition from the very beginning? Will we see a chaotic war among the gods?"
For Haruhime, it is essential to understand this city called Orario.
Lily Luca, who was invited to the villa, was also very interested.
"If the gods were to fight, it would surely erupt into a great war between their clans..."
If things turn out that way, Orario will probably not be peaceful.
Hestia waved her hand when she heard their speculations.
"Although there are competitions among the Familias of Orario, it has not yet reached the point of conflict, and even if it does, there are corresponding solutions."
The Blue Ribbon Goddess was referring to the War Game, a large-scale game where clans apply to the guild for rules, and the rules are set by the clans themselves, witnessed by the gods.
Of course, not everyone will follow these rules.
Lily Luca understands this all too well.
"Although I joined the Soma Familia, it was useless to explain to the guild after adventurers from other familias stole my magic stones, and the familias wouldn't care..."
"Isn't Miss Lily's clan treating you badly?"
Upon hearing Lily's words, Haruhime, who looked concerned, immediately asked a question.
Lily, as the supporter, nodded in agreement.
"The Soma Kinkaku Association took things from me without bringing any benefit; it's not even as much as the reward Mr. Hyakuri gave me last night..."
That's why Lily Luca would buy things and visit the villa during the day.
Before he even knocked on the door, Hester had already labeled him a suspicious person.
"It must have been tough..."
Haruhime, who was abandoned by her family and ended up in Orario, deeply sympathizes with the situation, as both of them have experienced pain that others cannot understand to some extent.
But all of that has changed.
Both of them received help from Baili.
Chunji doesn't need to worry about becoming a slave;
Lily Luca's living expenses were also secured for a long time.
It all started with meeting Baili.
New footsteps sounded at that moment.
After changing their clothes and washing up briefly, the girls who had shared a room with Baili last night came to the living room together.
Good morning, everyone!
Hestia was the first to greet them.
Lily Luca, who had been invited in, quickly stood up.
"Excuse me...!"
Chunji, who was standing nearby, did not slack off. Instead, she got up and ran to the kitchen to pour water.
"Yeah!"
The fox girl fell to the ground.
While her clumsy nature is endearing, Baili hopes she can be more capable.
While internally complaining, Hyakuri saw Yotsuya Miko and Toujou Koneko running towards Lily Luca.
"You've come, Lily."
"By the way, why does Lily wear a hoodie even inside her room?"
It was only then that Jianzi and the kitten noticed.
When questioned, Lily Luca grasped her hat with both hands and gently lifted it.
Below are a pair of animal ears.
Furry animal ears.
"I didn't tell you before, but I am actually a dog-man... a dog-man of the dwarf race."
Lily Luca then revealed her identity.
However, Baili knew very well that Lily, who possessed various transformation abilities, could customize her own appearance.
at the same time--
"Just like Haruhime, she also has a pair of very cute ears."
Himejima Akeno didn't care about this and helped Haruhime up, who had just fallen to the ground.
As Yukino sat down with the others, she couldn't help but be curious about the reason why the guests had arrived at the villa that morning.
"Miss Hestia, what brings you here...?"
"Ah, this...! I just told Baili that we're going to be attending the Divine Gathering! The Adventurers' Guild Master is definitely one of the invitees, which is why he came to remind us to be careful and such."
"Will anyone at the Divine Assembly make a move against Baili Jun?"
"I don't think I'd do it directly."
"If it turns out that way, it will be necessary to make a reasonable response."
After hearing Hestia's ambiguous answer, Yukino already had a plan in mind.
This prompted Zhu Nai to ask the other party
"What Yukino means is...?"
"Make an example of them to warn others, so they will understand what the truth is."
Unlike her usual self, Yukino becomes more serious and earnest in this new world, and also more decisive.
Baili had no objection to this.
"Of course I won't ignore those guys who bar their fangs. Only by making them pay the price will they know the consequences of being hostile."
Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Haruhime was busy in the kitchen, so Akeno went to open the door.
The person who followed her back to the living room was Eina.
After the girl, whom I had been appointed as the president's secretary by Baili, arrived in the hall.
She hadn't expected so many people to be in the villa.
However, Eina did not forget the important matter.
"President Baili, regarding the invitation to the Divine Assembly, are you free tonight?"
The Divine Assembly is not merely a banquet for the gods.
Members of various clans and wealthy and powerful organizations also participate.
"Of course I'll go."
Baili looked at Eina, who had come to inform him, and gave her new instructions.
“They’ve just woken up, Eina. Take them to get something to eat, and then buy them some clothes so they can wear them when they attend the Divine Assembly.”
"OK……"
Eina agreed.
Akeno, Yukino, Miko, and Koneko all had no objections.
Before setting off, he also brought along the villa's careless maid, Chunji.
And so, only Baili, Lily, and Hestia remained in the villa.
"I won't bother you any longer."
Lily didn't plan to stay long. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
She brought the gifts simply to express her gratitude.
Seeing this, Hestia also stood up and prepared to leave.
"Oh, right, Hestia."
"Please speak, Mr. Baili."
"Are you buying a dress too? And what about Hephaestus's party? You'll both be attending, right?"
"Yes, we will participate, but we all have clothes, so don't worry."
After Hestia finished speaking, she left with the words, "I'll go back and prepare," and then left the villa with Lilyluka, whom she had said goodbye to.
Baili, who remained behind, glanced at the sky outside the window.
"Will the gods meet at night?"
For Baili, this is an opportunity to speedrun Orario.
In the heart of Orario stands a towering structure that pierces the clouds—the Tower of Babel.
This high-rise building is not only a public facility center for adventurers, but also the venue for this divine gathering.
