18 Gut feel again

"You look tired, did something happen?" says by Artemis who now walks side by side with her sole male Familia, Zetta. Along with two other Goddesses, Hestia and Hephaestios.

Its been 5 hours since his last battle against the Revenger along with Loki Familia as he rush out of the dungeon to fetch his Goddess after her welcoming party.

He wanted to explain why but cannot help himself out and instead glance at Hephaestios and Hestia. "You can tell? Haha.. maybe I'll tell you later after returning to our inn, so Rethusa and the others would know them too" Zetta made an excuse and scratches his cheek.

As for why Artemis are with Hestia is because they were close friends, and as for Hephaistios, Artemis wanted to talk to her and thanking her for taking care of her naive and oblivious friend named Hestia, who are now indebted to the God of Blacksmith. She wanted to help Hestia by asking her debt but the latter declined and not let Hephaestios spill the beans, saying that it was her Familia's responsibility for paying Hephaestios. Afterall she already has dependable Familia member. Hearing Hestia made Hephaestios chuckle as if this little girl grew up a character.

Seeing this heartwarming scene did Zetta finally have the resolve to confess what happened as he let the two Goddess came into their Inn (as their place at Deadalus are still under renovation), along with Rethusa and other members of their Familia. He then did tell what actually happened.

"Chottomatte!! You went towards the 19th floor... that fast!! And you're still alive?!" Hestia remarks aloud. "Is what Finn also claimed. But here I am, Alive and kicking" Zetta boasted and puffed up his chest, looking at the shrimp Goddess, a feat that even high class adventurer find themself troubled soloing the dungeon upto the lower floors.

"Amazing" Hephaestios turned to shock but snap back up.

"Then, want me to upgrade your Status later?" Artemis questioned.

"I'm very much happy", the two then created a world for themselves as they happily chatting. Seeing this scene, Hestia pouted. "mou~ you really did changed Artemis"

"So do you Hestia.." Artemis happily replied. and like the favour Artemis told from the other Gods.. she too, asks Hephaestios to keep it a secret in which the latter accepted, and like Loki, should be her first and last favour.

Artemis smiled again and this genuine smile was gold for Hestia and the formed old Familia member, Rethusa and Lante.

"I really blown your cover. I'm sorry" Artemis apologized.

But Zetta retort, "mine too, even though you strictly said to hide them, hehehe. So, we're a ditto afterall" he jested.

The two laugh happily. while other members of Artemis Familia are still oblivious. That Zetta's achievement is a feat in itself, so why did they have to hide it?

They never even realized that this event might trigger the wrath of many Gods and become the fall of Artemis Familia in the near future if news spreads too fast.

Of course they zipped their mouth shut of what they heard today and keep it a secret for the rest of their lives. And so, an hour later, two Goddesses also went out of their inn as Zetta and co. called it a night.

Meanwhile..

"And? How is it? here you are rushing through my workplace and berated about that brat for being too harsh on you and didn't think his personality doesn't fit for Artemis. How about now? Is there any more negative word coming from that mouth of yours, about that boy?" Hephaestios teased Hestia as they walk side by side after exiting where Artemis Familia resides.

"No! At least none so far..." Hestia replied, then put her hands unto her chest.

"A-a-at least...she finally found her Orion!" Hestia only smile while looking above clouds which is towards the moon. Hephaistios too, did the same and silently nod.

An Orion...

...is said to be the single one male but animal that made Artemis cheerful way back from heaven, but sadly that one died in a bad way. And after that , the two goddess separated their way and call it a night. . .

Folkvangr

A place where Freya Familia lived. Freya, like usual has her wine, pour from one of her member and sip it to mouthful and emptied out while amorously look at her window. "I never dreamt, I actually found another man to be feasted on" she then slowly sniff her hands and moan. Ottar, the sole level 7 and the so called strongest of Orario came by her side and asks "want me to test him too?", hearing his proposal, she smiled "ahhhh. It's too early for him but.. have 'Vana Freya' test him first, but remember, Leave his face and dignity at hand" Freya smiled as she continue to binge her wine made by God Soma himself of Soma Familia.

Next day morning.. Zetta is training against the remaining Girls from the empty slot area near the inn they temporarily lived as he want them to be a 'Party' consist of hunting small monsters effectively.

Unlike their usually defend and attack tactics while hunting monsters outside the Orario, he want them to not become a sitting duck but also to attack like an individual limb of their own.

Especially, Vjara. Who is eager to enter the dungeon. But after his remarks, 'if you wanted to become stronger, always leave from the dungeon alive first is your priority', as she now back it up and energize thanks to this, she's now as firm as stone and have the burning desire to become stronger.

Catana at the same time, secretly talk to Anya of Hostess of Fertility last night. as for what they have talked about, no one knows other than her and Anya.

And so, time passes by and noon came. Zetta went to the Guild Hall to confirm at Eina if their place is now good to go. But sadly isn't. The one he picked was a 5 floor mansion so the duties of cleaning and renovating them takes more than how many days to cover.

Scratching his head, he felt at lost. Since this morning, he created multiple items made by fabric, such as Cloathes, Cloak, Jacket, pants, and tie. He even created a shinguard and attached Antares onto it. He wanted to finish them as fast as possible but he can't make any goods if his mind isn't stable and have other things to do, like checking their future base and so on. So, hearing their residents are still under renovation/construction, he just sitted down at the nearest chair and think of what course of actions to do next

"I was thinking about the party system that should be followed by girls. guess, I have Rethusa talk to it first, lest, other girls cannot hunt properly or didn't stop their complaint" he sigh heavily and put his nape and backhead to rest.

Thereafter. Zetta saw Goddess Hestia came running at the front desk of the Guild Hall and asks Eina for something. Eina at the same time look shaken after her words, Hestia too, so to speak.

Zetta blinked twice and curious as for what might happen. Thereafter, someone called her name. He too is a God, along with his Familia, Zetta confirmed the three members to be Ouka, Mikoto and Chigusa.

"Is there anything. . ?" Zetta looked at them curiously as they went out of the guild.

He side glance as him and Hestias' eyes has met. 'Fuck! My gut feel are kicking in!!' as he cursed out loud
