Chapter 5

[Quick Recap]

As Astrea was at the front of the stardust garden, 2 people opened the door and greeted her. "Welcome home Goddess Astrea."

These 2 were the new recruits of the Astrea familia; Alise Lovell and Gojouno Kaguya.

Gojouno Kaguya has long black hair and wears a kimono, a robe over it, and a kanzashi in her hair. Currently, 9 years old.

Alise Lovell has green eyes and red hair tied into a clean ponytail. she carries a rapier which she keeps at her waist. Currently, 8 years old.

Astrea gently smiled

"Thank you, Alise, Kaguya. Is Maryuu here?"

"Captain Maryuu is still patrolling around Orario. She will return in a couple of hours. Please enter and wait for captain Maryuu's arrival." Alise replied.

"I see. So, let's go inside then." Astrea said and smiled.

The two girls nodded and guided her inside the stardust garden.

After a couple of hours later, the current captain of the Astra familia Maryuu returned Astrea greeted her "Hello there Maryuu how was your patrol" Maryuu bowed towards Astrea and replied, "everything was fine Astrea-sama just a couple of pickpocketers though there was a fight between vendors but we took care of it the moment I arrived".

Astrea smiled and nodded "Good job, though you won't be patrolling tomorrow since I'll order you to watch over a child" Maryuu was speechless, a child what would be interesting in a child that their Goddess would order her to watch over.

"forgive me for being rude Astrea-sama may I ask why?" Astrea then told her the reason "it's just that this child is something he is unique, I can't tell what he is or what race, eventually when the Evilus found out about him they may try things to the child"

Maryuu was contemplating what her Goddess just said, A boy which Astrea failed to see what he is "So you want me Astrea-sama to look after the child?" Astrea nodded and said, "I want him to join our familiar, though it will be the first and last that we recruited a male in our Familia, but not for now."

As a meeting between Astrea and Maryuu is ongoing, there was a person with a covered face running towards an alleyway using the darkness of the night as cover even though the face is covered in darkness but the body figure seems it belongs to a woman going inside the alleyway she opened a secret door and entered it.

While walking through the hallway, she reached her destination. She opened the door and enter the. room it has an oval table at the center with 6 figures sitting.

We see an oval table with 6 figures sitting while discussing some things they were and then suddenly one of the people sitting asked: "Valletta~chan what are you doing here interrupting an important discussion I hope this is important since you just barged inside without notice?" The person in question was Valletta.

She had medium-length pink hair and yellow eyes. She wore a black top with black pants that had red lines in them, with both the top and bottom damaged to some extent, leaving her stomach exposed, along with a brown belt around her right thigh and a black coat with fur trimming. Despite having been in her mid to late thirties, her appearance was that of a woman in her late twenties because of the anti-aging effect of the falna.

"Thanatos-sama I have urgent news Ottar from the Freya familia just reached level 6 today," Valletta announced "Is that all? We already know that's why we are having a meeting right now but you interrupted it, there will be consequences Valletta," Thanatos replied with a hint of fury in his voice.

Thanatos is a tall God with long, smooth, dark purple hair and eyes. He wears a long and tattered black robe with gray designs and purple edges.

"Goddess Astrea visited Goddess Hapeastus earlier this afternoon. I believe they ordered some new pieces of equipment since the Zeus and Hera Familia perished inside the dungeon," Valletta instantly replied.

"Oh, so the Astrea familia are preparing just in case we wreak havoc soon," Thanatos said with a grin "Then let them be no matter how much they prepare they can't beat the Juggernaut we will lure them to a trap inside the dungeon once they have been taken care of we can focus on weakening the other familia through assassinating each member inside the dungeon," Thanatos made his plan on the spot with a mischievous grin.

The other 5 people in the meeting hall nodded in agreement. "If that is all you may leave Valletta~chan, but if you just banged in without a moment's notice there will be consequences understood?" Thanatos said with indifference in his voice.

"Understood Thanatos-sama, I now will take my leave " And with that done Valletta left the meeting room.

"Hahaha, Thanatos, you need to discipline your familia members for interrupting a meeting how rude," Said a man with black hair with two cadet gray locks and gray eyes. He had a white shirt along with a jacket and pants, both black. In addition, he wore a purple untied tie around his neck and a black glove on his left hand.

Thanatos looked over the man and said, "Tsk tsk Erebus~san don't worry about my familia instead, worry about how you will ensure chaos. besides, that is your only goal right?" Thanatos replied.

Erebus grinned and nodded, and with that, the meeting resumed.
