The next morning...
Prana was awoken by a slight movement in the room. Haruhime was preparing to go outside.
*Yawn* "Haru?" He sat up and rubbed his eyelids.
"Ah, Sorry, I woke you up, Prana-sama"
Haruhime was surprized, amazed, and apologetic. She has already walked steps by steps gently, but he could perceive it even in his sleep.
"Don't worry. Anyway, where are you going?"
"I am going to get some ingredients for breakfast, there's nothing left in the kitchen"
"Oh. Wait for me" He stood up, "I am going to wash my face"
"En"
A smile was blooming on Haruhime's face. Every time he could spend with her was so precious, since she didn't know when Prana was going to vanish again like before.
Prana washed his face, and brush his teeth. Then, he changed. Everything was done in a quick sequence.
When he finished he was wearing a white T-shirt matching with green army short pants. He looked so casual in this clothing.
"Ready. Come, let's go"
Prana beckoned Haruhime who are still dazed at him. Why dazed? Because she didn't know when Prana bought the clothes. That night, he only bought clothes for me. Besides, he also didn't have any clothes in this house.
If she thought it properly, Haruhime could also remember that Prana was never brought any luggage to this city before.
'How magically mysterious'
"Un lets"
...
Both of them were walking side by side, with Haruhime occasionally stopped for a while to check and haggle the price.
Prana felt it was good for Haruhime, at least he shouldn't worry too much that she would be shortchanged.
While he was holding the groceries, he also released one of his spiders to scan the whole city and find clues about Lililuca Arde.
Prana intended to know the building layout of the whole city. Since, if he could maximize it, the chance of him being forced to a dead end could be reduced. Besides, he needed to find Lililuca Arde to know what he could do to complete the objective. That's why scanning was just for convenience.
...
She sighed at the work that she faced. "Haaahh, it's quite easy finding the materials and shaping them according to the condition. But next was-"
Each part was separated in size. Some of them were quite big and the others were really small and thin. She didn't know the purpose of each of these parts.
Even with her knowledge, this was her first time facing it. Thus, she could only helplessly read and learn, and burn the midnight oil for today too.
Today is the completion time of his new weapon.
Prana was awake so early in the morning, even before the sound of chicken ringing, and the sun was rising.
Yesterday, he got unexpected information from the spider.
One, Lililuca Arde was a little girl, supporter, and being constantly bullied by some members of her Familia. With this, Prana planned to ask her to wish, and complete one of his objective.
Two, Apollo was too enraged to listen to his children. Even though the children already warn him to let matters go, he couldn't accept it. His remaining divinity forced him to think that he was the hunter. Therefore, he planned to get the help of the other Gods to rid of Prana.
That was the summary from the video feed gathered by the spider.
Fortunately, he found a place that was perfectly fit to try the new weapon yesterday. Also, following the conclusion from the convention, he might finish the objectives sooner.
He was humming happily thinking about the future.
...
Roughly at 9 in the morning, Prana has walked alone along the street.
Where is Haruhime? Ah, she was going to work this morning. She said she didn't feel right to leave her post for two days. Thus, she left him alone in the house.
Having nothing to do and kind of bored, Prana was seen walking through inconspicuous street and alleys to place some spider surveillance cameras to monitor his objectives.
After walking for an hour, he hurriedly went to Babel to get his order. Since if he was late he couldn't bring his order and couldn't put some bug on the convention.
Knock Knock Knock. Prana knocked on the door.
However, instead of Hephaestus, it was an unfamiliar woman who opened it.
She was wearing a white dress/? Prana wasn't sure if it was a dress, it was hugging her body too tightly. Based on an aesthetic of preference in this world, except for adventurers who prefer light outfits or Goddesses of Beauty, rarely everyone would dress and even wear something 'tight'.
"Hello, What do you need?" She asked him warily.
'He doesn't seem to be adventurers. His clothes were too casual, his vibe somehow feel like a swindler'
'Is she afraid of me? But this is our first meeting, isn't it?'
"Ehem, I am looking for Goddess Hephaestus. I have an appointment to meet her today"
"Oh" she nodded understandingly, and shouted, "Hephaestus, someone named - what's your name again?"
"Name's Prana"
"Someone named Prana is here to meet you, he said" She shouted from the door.
"Wait!" A woman's voice was heard from inside.
Hearing their one exchange, he felt strange. 'I thought that this woman would go inside to fetch Hephaestus and ask him to wait inside too' However, it seemed both of them had a close relationship.
And right now she was standing at the door keeping him out. He was sure that she misunderstood him. She must be thought that he was a swindler or robber. And he wanted to rob the merchandise inside.
'Do I look so untrustworthy?' He could only smile bitterly at her.
...
Not long after, steps were coming from inside. A mature woman in red was slowly walking into his vision.
"Oh, so early? Come follow me inside"
Without wasting, Prana followed behind her. He was so excited, this was his first gun, and it's even a magic rifle.
When they arrive in the living room, there was a case being placed in the middle of the table. The black case was being covered by a blanket.
"Here's the good. As the agreement, the blueprint is mine after completion, and you owe me a favor."
Prana didn't answer and directly rushed up to the case. The case had a metallic vibe if it's viewed from afar. But, upon touching it, you could feel that is made from wood.
When he opened the case, he could see a blue rifle was lying in. Prana couldn't explain the minute details on the rifle, but he could see that the materials were sturdier than the on he could see on TV and FPS games. While others compromised the same thing with his memories.
"How is it?" A proud voice was heard behind him.
"This is great" Prana instantly praised it. 'Even though, the color is a bit too bright. I can change it myself'
"Hehe, of course, it's great. Hephaestus is the best blacksmith even in Heaven"
"Stop it, Hestia" Hephaestus reprimanded Hestia and glanced at Prana "If you did, take your leave. I don't have the time to explain it's composition, we still need to attend a conference today"
Prana nodded and package the goods once again, and directly stored them in his inventory. Recently, he didn't care about it anymore. If someone saw it and made the trouble to him, then he might as well clean up some pests.
The two Goddesses were shocked. They didn't know this ability exists in the mortal plane. Even in their old place, 'STORAGE' was quite rare to have.
"Thanks, Hephaestus. About the favor, you can call me anytime"
"Un" Hephaestus nodded, but Hestia was confused at the situation.
'That man didn't give any money for her friend's hard work, and Hephaestus seems don't mind it in the slightest' Hestia thought, 'Hmm, what kind of relationship between the two? Could it be she had a feeling for him?'
...
While Prana marching outside, he also didn't forget to leave a spider to follow them to the conference. He wanted to hear the conference's content.
While he was walking out of the building, he saw one of his mission objectives.
Lililuca Arde, she was asking around the adventurers near the plaza's fountain. At first glance, she had a different appearance from the night before. Even though, her body stature, hair color, etc remained the same, her race features were different.
Last night, she was like a pallum. But, right now her face was changing to chienthrope.
Prana couldn't help being curious. While watching her from afar, he 'Identify' her parameters.
[Lililuca Arde. Lv. 1 Supporter
Skills: Artel Assist, Cinderella]
[Artel Assist: Helps compensate User abilities when she/he's carrying a certain amount of weight, making it easier for them to carry heavy loads.
Cinderella: User could disguise their own races, and appearances]
"Cinderella, what a handy skill" He was truly envied this skill. With this kind of skill, assassination, fooling others, and swindling would become easier.
From afar, Prana was seen as ogling a young petite maiden. If this was seen in the modern world, the passerby and would instantly called the police. However, as this world was considered as the medieval era, no one was bothered to judge someone else hobby and fetish.
In a certain room on the top floor of Babel's Tower.
There was a huge round table in the middle of the room. One of the seats was already taken by a gray-haired old-man. He arranged the documents on the table and whispering something to his adjutant.
The adjutant nodded and began leaving the room.
...
One by one the seats were being filled.
A man with yellow hair and bleak eyes.
A woman with green hair, radiant complexion, and petite body.
A woman with yellow hair and bountiful chest volume.
A man who gave an eastern people vibe.
Their conversation was so rowdy. They talked about this, about that, about what might be the following topic, or about the attacker from before.
Then, the sound of heels being in contact with the floor rang. It was soft actually, however, the presence of the owners were the ones who attracted the other people inside turned their heads.
It was Four Goddesses in glamorous dress walking into the room.
In the right-wing was Freya, who wears a long red dress with a low neckline. She showcased her beauty, her form was really perfect for a woman to have. Every curve in the right place, not standing out too much but also not lessen at the should be placed.
Followed by Ishtar, who wore a purple dress that tightly hugged her body and with many places exposed.
While Hephaestus was in the middle, he wore a black dress fashioned with orange-red color on it. It was as if given the impression as a flame.
Then, it was Hestia, who had a petite frame but bountiful chest volume in a white mini dress walking confidently. She had an innocent vibe, with a white dress, blue ribbons, twintails, and blue eyes. If her chest didn't grow that much, she would be the epitome of 'Legal Loli'
"Hestia!!"
A loud voice was heard behind Hestia.
"Ehhh, what? How come a wall can talk?" Hestia's voice tinged with surprise while jeering when facing the flat surface right in front of her eyes.
"You.!!" The voice was so exasperated.
It was true that she didn't have many developments there, but it still couldn't be called a wall. There's some bump on it.
She was Loki. The goddess of Loki Familia. Along the way to the conference, she met with Hephaestus along the way. And she was surprised her long enemies were tagging along with Hephaestus.
Thus, she began their usual mocking, pointing out her incapability before, and now. However, as usual, she always loses out when Hestia mentioned the fact she had more development than her.
Later on, she was left behind by the other three, and Hestia also ran away to take her spotlights.
She was already angry before. But now, after being mocked in front of others, she was fuming red in anger.
"Ehem!" A loud feigned cough ensued. "Hestia, Loki, cease it"
Hearing that, both Hestia and Loki harrumphed and simultaneously throw their face at each other.
The other only could smile wryly at their interaction. It felt like something was lacking if they met but not fight and mock each other.
"Hestia! Come here, come here!" The goddess with curly and yellow hair beckoned Hestia.
"Demeter, you're here." Hestia exclaimed "That's why you're missing these few decades"
"Hehe, I heard that the human world was interesting. And it's really true" She said with a captivating smile.
'Ugh, this girl, how many shotas did she lure after she was here?'
Demeter, she was a goddess of harvest and fertility of the earth. But, occasionally she is also interested in 'harvest' something risky.
"Naa, Hestia, why are you also here? If I remember, you said you don't wanna go to the human world?"
"I was urged by Hephaestus, she said Human World was so interesting and she kinda feels lonely. Without any better to do, worried at my friend's plight and being envious at her having all the excitement. I decided to go down to the Human World." She said it proudly and patted her chest. "Besides, there weren't many friends in Heaven anymore." She mumbled the last sentence softly
"Mmm." Demeter nodded understandingly at her, "Your decision was right, but your timing was a bit off Hestia"
If she came earlier, she might get some first-class soon to be adventurers. But now? The adventurers littered around the city were already affiliated. No one bothered to join a newly founded Familia, except novice adventurers.
"Meh, It's fine. I don't care about numbers, I want a Family" she said firmly, her voice was so full of yearning.
Demeter could only stay silent at her statement. It's just like Hestia she knew, full of positive thoughts. But, in reality, benefits prevail in this city.
...
All of the guests finally arrived.
"Since, everyone already here. Let's start our meeting" Ouranus greeted the other Gods and Goddesses.
Many exaggerated nicknames were created for adventurers. Each god who had his children named as such was grimaced. For them, this activity was entertaining of they didn't get the short end.
After completing their first agendas, which was arranging nicknames for adventurers, Ouranus maintained his silence for several seconds.
"The next agenda is an accident that happened recently. As all of you heard, there is an adventurer who attacks God in the city. The victims of this adventurer are Ishtar and Apollo Familia's Captain." His voice was grave. The repercussion of this adventurer's action gave several Gods restless, and he already had it full before. "Ishtar, Apollo, explain the detail"
Ishtar was the first one to speak her mind.
"From what we had gathered, his name is Prana. His origins were unknown. But, his ID was written that he comes from Eastern Country, Japan. At first, I didn't have any problem with this guy, until he was robbing my merchant carriage"
'Heh, merchant carriage' Many Gods face is full of sneer hearing it.
When Ishtar explained Prana's detail, Prana's image was appearing in the middle of the table.
"He took away the goods -"
"Ishtar, Haruhime isn't a commodity!" Takemikazuki flared at Ishtar's explanation. "You employed fugitive and slaver to bring her from the East. She was a Miko in the shrine I presided before"
Ishtar clicked her tongue, she knew that was the case buy she calmly avoided it.
"Ehem" In the end, she could only cough awkwardly. "In the following chase, several of my second-rate and my shaman died at his hands. Then, remember at the rumor that a certain adventurer jumped toward Den Epistrefei, he is the one. Almost three months later, on the day I was attacked, it was him who hypnotized me and my confidant. His eyes were changing colors as if it is a God's eyes"
Several confused faces instantly appearing in the room.
"Ishtar, are you sure it's like that?"
"Yes. I don't have the capability to see through him. But, my sense tells me he was God's child. His eyes, his growths" She paused, "Also, all of his ability contains lightning energy"
Ishtar didn't close her deduction. She wanted them to take the conclusion themselves.
Freya and Loki had a thinking expression on their face. 'If he what I think is, what is his purpose? Revenge? Rebuild? or?'
"I don't have any problem with him before, but the day my children were going to raid the Goliath, he attacked them and even directed the Goliath to kill my Familia's captain" Apollo was fuming recalling the story. "Ouranos, It said that the Guild is Orario protector. For Its adventurers and It's Gods. But, this guy acted twice on the city."
Apollo paused, looked around, studied the other faces.
Some of them were worried about realizing the situation. As their Familia's power was relatively low, they also voiced their concern and forced Ouranus to take action.
Takemikazuki who intended to explain the misunderstanding was drowned. He couldn't voice his thoughts. By Prana attacking and resulted in killing others who hadn't had any grievance with, it was wrong. He couldn't justify his reasons if he wanted to side him.
While Ouranus could only placate the others that he was going to investigate him and punish him if it's needed.
Others couldn't urge Ouranus any further. They could only wait for his move.
"The last is the tournament's format. I have something in mind, but I also need all of your thoughts." Ouranos said, he also telepathically call Fel to bring the documents. "Here's read it first.
The content of the parchment was the tournament's rules.
1. No Killing, Incapacitating, Severely Injured others. If violated, it will result in the heaviest Punishment to the person and his Familia (If he/she joined)
2. Familia can only send two of their Lv. 6 or higher adventurers.
3. Weapons must be registered to the officials two days before the date to make a replica. No hidden weapon allowed.
4. The tournament will be conducted in groups. Each group differentiates the participants by its class; First, Second, and Third.
5. The winner can choose one of the favors: a. Joining or Quitting a certain Familia, b. Customized weapon from Hephaestus Familia First-class Blacksmith.
This grouping might be unfair for some adventurers, but it couldn't be helped. If the Guild made the grouping for each level, how many resources it would be coughed out.
Thus, it was kind of illogical for them.
"Why making replica for our children's weapon?"
"I need to be safe. Every adventurer, children in this city were precious."
"Ouranos, for the place, let's conduct it at my colosseum" A proud expression came for the Elephant masked God.
"En, Royman will discuss the detail with you later"
The other didn't voice their concern about the tournament. Except for Loki. Many of her children were First-class adventurers, and she hoped she could secure the championship before.
"Your Familia and Freya's have many high leveled adventurers, if I permit all your Level sixes joining, I fell that what's the point"
"Cheeh~" In actuality, Loki only wanted to complain a little. She already knew the reason, but she just couldn't help to voice it.
"That's all. strengthen your children. Then, attend the tournament for three days, for now, The first Tournament will officially begin"
Ouranos stood up and walked out of the room. One by one, the loner and uninterested Gods were leaving.
Hestia also ran toward Hephaestus and asked her candidate.
"Hmm, most of my children don't excel in the fighting." She smiled wrily. Most of her children were obsessed with smithing. "I don't know who will represent my Familia"
"isn't Tsubaki is First-class adventurers?"
"Oh her, recently she was obsessed with the weapon for the kid this morning"
One time, when Hephaestus assembling the rifle, Tsubaki came uninvited. She accidentally saw the product and being interested too much in it. Thus, the research is on her own.
'Eh, that kid still owes me a favor right?'
It had been two hours since he started eavesdropping the God's conference.
In the first half, he was occupied from being forced to listen the God's bullshit and realized that this world was a dream world for people who had 'chuunibyou' sickness.
God's deemed the adventurers' nicknames as a joke. But, the people have blindly revered the nicknames given.
But, Prana could only admit, that the Gods were truly bored. How could they come out with something like "creative" as that?
Then a sudden realization hit him, didn't it mean that he also or might have one of these "creative" nicknames?
Okay, one more reason for me to go back hurriedly.
Then, the issue of him attacking two Familias was raised.
He could hear the contents. From what he could infer, Ishtar was kinda afraid of me, her tone had a subtle of fear to clash with me again. However, Haruhime's quest still active. It meant the deterrence still not enough.
Meanwhile, Apollo's tone contained a lot of brave vibes. He instilled in the other God's mind that I was a threat. He wanted Guild to dispose of me. Thus, Prana decided to become a kind man. He wanted to help him.
"....send him to his home"
Fortunately, he was prepared.
In the first place, this was the first thing he wanted when he began spying on him the night before.
The night before, alongside the information about his scheme to Prana. He also knew Apollo's certain hobby. He was absolutely disgusted at his behavior. How could a God has that kind of orientation? And how could he get his hands on his targets?
Thus, he wanted to send him home and disband the Familia.
Later on, the topic was shifted to the upcoming festival. He didn't interested in it, perhaps he only came to the festival to date with Haruhime again.
Then, he heard someone was conversing with Hephaestus. He decided to ignore it and commanded the fly bug to follow Apollo.
"It's time to do testing"
He began crouching and opening the case.
He took out his new weapon, inspecting, and adding several parts that didn't include such as; the scope, and bullets.
He bought the things at the system store at relatively cheap. The customized 7.62mm magic bullets only cost 50 system points for one magazine. The scope itself was 30 points, there's no magic attached, but the zoom function was much greater.
He began waiting for his target to show up at the Babel's entrance while listening at the bug.
"Ishtar, why don't you help me? we have the same enemy, don't we?"
"Yeah, but he is strange for me. I am going to wait the chance."
"Heh" Apollo sneered, he didn't think that Prana was all great. True, that he might be Zeus' successor. But, isn't it only MIGHT? Besides, Zeus was being exiled outside Orario, what could he do.
Thus, Apollo didn't think Prana that all great. Also, he was always the hunter. He walked confidently leaving Ishtar behind.
...
"Everything set" Prana finally installed all the parts.
From the bug, he knew that the target was 33 feet away from the entrance. Besides, the entrance was devoid of life right now.
He quietly recited the distances.
22 feet.
Prana began tapping the trigger lightly.
3 feet.
Prana decided to channel his lightning energy inside the magazine. He also activated his Sharingan.
Everything began to slow down to a certain degree in his eyes, while his reaction speed still the same.
He inhaled, filling his lung capacity.
Then, he pressed the trigger.
There's no sound of a gunshot heard. Everything still as quiet as before.
However, a bullet was whizzed in with a speed of 4500 feet per second in the air. While his target distance was only more or less around one mile.
The bullet found its target in one second. The power behind managed to pierce through his chest and drilled to the ground.
The target was stupified at his chest, it had a hole there. He just stepped one foot outside, and right now his life was blown away like that.
Meanwhile, the person behind him was also shocked at the situation. It was the first occurrence that God being assassinated. She couldn't believe it, that someone was so audacious and had so many guts.
However, looking around, she didn't saw any person or any sign of the assassin.
Slowly, the targets collapsed on the ground. Followed by a super large and bright light descended upon its body.
...
[Ding...
Objectives completed....]
Prana didn't follow through with the notification. He hastily packed everything and went to camouflage. He cleaned the evidence and his tracks and went away.
The news traveled really fast this time. In just half an hour, every citizen knew about Apollo's death.
Adventurers were taken aback. In their mind, Gods and Goddesses were the epitomai of sacredness. Every order given was dutifully done. But now, someone with the same status as them were brazenly blasphemy their beliefs.
Some people with blind faith were banging the table and began searching for the culprit to end the violater.
Meanwhile, not long after Ouranus received the news. He forcibly summoned the other Gods and Goddesses at once.
Some of the Ouranus children began reconstructing the crime scene.
The Gods were annoyed since the meeting was already over a while ago, but they were forcibly summoned once again.
Some were blatantly voiced their dissatisfaction with Ouranus while some were only keeping in their heart.
Then, Ouranos began to speak in a grave voice. "Apollo is gone"
At first, some of them didn't understand the meaning. They thought that Apollo only leaving this city, and try to find another place to settle.
"He was assassinated ten minutes ago"
The following sentence blew all of the audience's thoughts.
"I was behind him when he was assassinated. It was only seconded since he placed his foot outside the tower. Then, a piercing light tore his chest"
Many of them didn't believe it. Till Fels brought a recording. The record was from a familiar trainee shaman.
It showed, in the peripheral vision of a bird familiar, Apollo was having the first step outside the Babel then a bluish light was piercing his body.
Silence permeates the room.
Most of them were scared. While few began contemplating the assailant motive. And the others either didn't interested or just not bothered with it.
....
[Congratulations User for completing the two objectives in the main mission.
1. Apollo Familia
Reward: 100.000 System Points. 1000 Free stats
2. Sanjouno Haruhime
Reward: 100. 000 System Points. 1000 Free stats.
One more objective in completing the main mission. Work Hard user ]
[Ding. The user has killed his First God.
Obtained: Letter, Mysterious Egg]
Meanwhile, Prana was leisurely walking through the street while humming.
Two of his objectives were completed. Apollo was being a history and Ishtar seemed afraid of him, which means Haruhime was safe as long as he is alive.
Also, the reward given by the system was great. Alongside the rewards, he also got another reward for killing Apollo. It described that it was from the stash hidden by Apollo.
Also, he got a letter. He was curious about the letter. Was there some secret in the letter or just some scribble not worth mentioning? However, he decided to put it in the Inventory first.
And the mysterious egg had a normal appearance. It just like a normal chicken egg, it's not mysterious at all.
He decided to take it easy today and walked to where his feet lead.
----
A day later, there was a post in the Guild which explain the rumors from the day before.
It's explained that there was someone who brazenly killed a God in front of Babel's Tower after the end of Denatus. Which right now still on the run.
The Guild also put a bounty on him for one hundred million valis, and the assailant should be alive.
The post also announced that there will be a tournament being held tomorrow. Each adventurer must register at the Guild administration today.
The rules were explained. In which, 'Adventurer only being paired with opponent in the same level, except for the best Eight placing'.
Some adventurers voiced their complaints, and others also eager to prove themselves.
But, overall the tournament was happily received by most of the adventurers.
Except for Prana, he was sitting straight on the sofa right now. Beside him, there was Haruhime who carried a tray of tea for the guests.
Across from Prana were the uninvited guests. Hephaestus and Hestia.
Early in the morning, Haruhime brought the two Goddesses inside his room. She said that the two of them were finding him.
Then, why this situation where Prana was nervously sat in his own room?
It was because Hephaestus was reminding him of the accident of Apollo being killed and brought the pamphlet that announced his bounty. She didn't suspect him or want him to be punished. She just curious she said.
But, Prana believed that she might have some clue. Thus, here he was sitting straight with an expressionless face.
Hestia who was oblivious and a complete airhead didn't heed the atmosphere. She sipped tea and ate the snack happily.
While Haruhime, after came back from the kitchen tried to diffuse the tension.
"Um, Hephaestus-sama, do you need anything from us?"
"Yes. I need something for him" Hephaestus confirmed, "but it might be unsuitable for others to hear it".
Haruhime was awkward and a little upset. Initially, she wanted to help them talk to each other happily, but now she was being shunned.
"Hestia, can you help Haruhime in the kitchen?"
"Um, you want to make breakfast? Come I will help you"
Hestia didn't mind Prana's lack of respect. She was too casual, also in the span of few days in the mortal world, she began loving the food here, and longing for having a Family on her own.
Hestia was humming while dragging Haruhime to the kitchen, while Haruhime was unresigned in her heart with the situation. It felt like her lover wants to do something behind her back.
"Ehem!" Prana coughed to dispel the tension, "so, what is it?"
"I need a favor"
"Okay. Speak it out"
Hephaestus was undecided, she wasn't sure about it.
"I need you to represent my Familia in the tournament tomorrow"
Prana who was intending to sip the tea stopped midway.
"Representing your Familia?" He asked again with a sneer.
He clearly remembered that he stated that the favor didn't include joining her Familia. But here she is.
Hephaestus was embarrassed, but she didn't have a choice. Her Familia fighting power didn't amount much, and her sole First Class adventurer didn't interest in taking part in it.
Besides, she also didn't want to help other Familia children strengthen themselves. Especially, Freya Familia. This Familia had too much force in the city. It could be described as the top Familia.
She didn't wish to help them. In particular, Freya herself.
Recently, her hobby was kinda unusual. She is often seen walking around at midnight. It was as if she was bored and want to do something or find something.
Besides, she also heard that Ottar was often seen in the dungeon. And coincidentally, at the same time frame, some monster mutated.
Some of her own children apparently had been annihilated by a mutated Silverback with a pack of hellhounds.
Unfortunately, Ouranos pressed her and he also brings an old debt as his chip. Thus, she could only comply with the condition and made a custom made weapon for the winner in the First group.
"Um, I need your help. My hunch tells me, that you might be able to resolve my trouble."
Prana fell in thought. It was anything but trouble if he accepts it. But right now he also needed help.
Last night, Prana opened the letter. After reading and thoroughly inspecting the letter for a whole hour, he didn't get anything. Except a bold and capitalize words of.
COCONUT CRAB
Just these two words, but when he read it, his body began to tremble and his being somehow become excited. He couldn't explain it, but his instinct told him it was important. 'But what is it?'
Hephaestus was intrigued seeing Prana's face so serius and mysterious like that. She wanted to know whether this guy would say something outrageous or something like the usual men would ask her with face like that.
"Umm, Hephaestus, do you know anything about Coconut Crab and where to get it?" Prana decided to ask her, he didn't have any choice, he didn't know what kind of crab it is. Maybe it was this world kind of crab.
She cuckled, it was the first time for her being questioned for something like seafood. "I don't know about that kind of crab. But I remember there was a kind of crab inside dungeon named Blue Crab. Or you might travel to port city to search for it"
