Inside the Hostess of Fertility, the group remained united, preparing for the challenges that would come from both outside and inside the Orario dungeon. The determination of everyone was evident, and each member of the Hestia family was willing to grow and strengthen to protect those they loved.
The next day, after a morning meeting at Mama Mia's bar, Xin headed to a certain district with the intention of meeting Riveria. However, he was stopped at the gate.
With his family at war, Loki would remain in a neutral position, and it wouldn't be good to welcome Asia or Irina into his home. But as he walked away, something happened. Riveria appeared in a hidden place to talk to him as soon as he left the main street.
"God Xin, your actions have consequences, and I know you're aware of that. But I see a determination in you to create chaos in this city." Riveria crossed her arms and spoke with a serious and disapproving tone.
"I acted in self-defense," Xin said unabashedly.
"You're always like this; why am I surprised?" She murmured, already familiar with the habits of this God who became her book friend.
"Have you finished the books? I doubt you can now with this war going on after what you did at the banquet," She said, keeping her voice dissatisfied.
"Yes, Riveria. I won't be able to have my lessons with you in the next few weeks. I need to strengthen everyone, ensure my family is safe and strong to face our enemies," Xin spoke sincerely.
"So, what will you do?" She asked with a curious look.
"I'll return the books, but I need something to enhance my magical understanding. Is it possible?" Xin asked, knowing his question was somewhat audacious.
"Hmmm... I have a book with my notes on magic; I can lend it to you as long as you don't destroy it, as you urgently need something to enhance your magic," She admitted and took out a notebook from her back somewhat surprisingly.
"Wait, were you already planning to give me this?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, why else would you be coming to me in the midst of a war game? It's too obvious," She said with a neutral tone.
"I appreciate this. I'll ask Hestia to return the other books since I'm going out to gather information alone," He informed her.
"I understand. Just be careful, Xin," She said, but soon the duo heard a voice in the distance.
"WHY DID MOMMY DISAPPEAR WHEN THAT SUCCUBUS GOD CAME TO THE GATE?! WHERE IS MOMMY, SHE CAN BE CORRUPTED! FIND HER IMMEDIATELY!" Loki was shouting throughout the wealthy neighborhood.
"I guess I have to go. Anyway, good luck," Riveria said, nodding.
"Sure, after all this is over, I'll invite you for a date. How about that?" Xin smiled at this, but the elf just kept her neutral face.
"Why not take Demeter-Sama or even Aphrodite-Sama for that?" She asked and turned quickly, leaving Xin stunned by this attitude.
"Wouldn't she be jealous?" Xin murmured, looking at the elf's retreating back.
