Before the adventure

When everybody was ready to wash themselves, we walked out of the bathroom and went to the walk-in closet to find our clothes. I picked a light blue vest that was made just for me. It was comfy and let me move around as I wished, but that didn't take away its classiness, which it shows off. I matched it with gray/silver-colored trousers. When I looked in the mirror, I nodded at myself.

Although it has been some time, my handsomeness is at the next level. It is much better than how I looked in my past life. Sending another prayer to Ela, I looked towards the two goddesses in the changing room with me. Aphrodite was putting on her trademark pink silk dress, and Amaterasu returned to her original look and put on a yukata. 

It was beautiful red with some sakura embodied on the sides. The two women were really goddesses, and even with just some normal clothing, they made themselves shine, and that made me happy. When they saw me looking, they also smiled at me. Aphrodite sneakily walked towards me and kissed me before meeting Olivia.

I smiled at her and followed her with my eyes as she walked out. When she wasn't in sight anymore, I looked at Amaterasu and let out a chuckle. "Haha, let's go and eat." I gripped her hand a bit before walking out of the changing room. A medium-sized table filled with food came into view.

We saw Aphrodite already salivating when she looked at the food and Olivia looking over her with a stern expression. "Please, just a bite, just a tiny bite. I will only take a little." Aphrodite begged Olivia with puppy eyes. "No, you have to wait for master, and then you can eat," Olivia answered, and her gaze became more stern when looking towards her.

Aphrodite pouted but didn't dare go against her because the last time she did that, Olivia conveniently forgot to make food for her for three days. Even though she could go without food for months or even years, she still liked to eat, and even more when the chef was one of the best cooks she had ever known.

When she spotted us walking out of the changing room, her face beamed, but when she saw that I had Amaterasu's hands in mine, she pouted again and looked at us jealously. Looking our way, Olivia smiled and welcomed us to the table. We walked over to her, and I kissed her forehead. "Thank you for your hard work, my maid."

Olivia blushed a bit but still tried to keep her professional face up. Still, you could see the corner of her mouth rising to a cute smile. I sat down with Aphrodite directly on the opposite side of the table, with Amaterasu on my left and Olivia on my right.

"Now, let's eat." That said, we began eating and discussing what we would do today. While the woman always wanted to stay with me, I wanted them to have some fun in this world, so they would teleport to some random part of this world and enjoy a day to themselves. Only Olivia was adamant about staying home and finishing the maid work she couldn't do yesterday.

She blushed a bit when she thought about yesterday's activities but shook her head and continued eating. I also told them about my activities in the other world and the attack. They were excited to know that we could almost go to another universe and develop faster than here.

While I do grow faster than all the other people in this universe when I reach the official low-rank god level, the universe ruler immediately senses me, and because of our past, he won't let me live for long. So I have to go to that other universe. Seeing the monsters that attacked us, the goddesses on my side deduced that that universe didn't have a ruler and just had masters.

While those masters were strong, they weren't strong enough to claim the title of ruler. And because they don't have the blessing of their own universe to be rulers, they can't sense everything that is going on in their own universe; rather, they can only sense things in their own domain, like Kali, only on a bigger scale.

Kali could also make her domain bigger like those masters because she is as powerful as one, but that isn't needed in this universe, and she didn't want to attract the attention of the ruler of this universe. While she is powerful and would put up a fight if it were a fight on neutral grounds, this is his universe, and he wouldn't lose to her there.

One of the plans in the other world is to kill the master who is attacking us and claim his territory as ours so that we have a steady base there. 

...

Aphrodite and Amaterasu both left after eating breakfast, and I was walking around the city of Azir. Only this time, I didn't need to be anywhere, so I took my time looking around and seeing the local specialties. While this city was mostly an adventure city, there were a lot of merchants selling goods.

You also have local families that have stalls here and sell their own creations. I am now eating one of them. It's a barbecue with the meat being a local wolf that they prepare with a special method passed down in their family. With the wolf meat on a stick, I ate it while walking through the bustling marketplace.

Looking around the market, I didn't see anything useful. There was no hidden treasure that a random vendor had on his stand or a ring that had a million-year-old grandpa in it. There were only the regular goods that you would expect from an adventure marketplace. So, a bit disappointed, I began looking for gifts for my woman and some souvenirs for the rest.

I found some local flowers that were really beautiful. They had a blue glow and a white center part that would match Scarlet and Elise. I bought some for the other woman before walking towards a jewelry shop and buying some magical rings and bracelets that would match her as well.

I stored all the items in my space ring, but that was just a front for them to be transported to my own world. I planted the flowers there, and I hoped that they would be extra beautiful when they came out of there and would be given as a gift. I stored the rings and bracelets in one of the treasure rooms that automatically modified artifacts and made them better.

Like having bigger magic storage or a special effect like recording its surroundings, you also had rings that answered the user's desire and did what the user wanted, like a puppet.
