The four weapon spirits were extremely efficient – and before the supplies ordered by Butler Hans could turn up at the villa, Anthem and Requiem had already managed to get rid of the smell, while Aria and Melody had thrown out the stew and cleaned up the kitchen, and had even managed to cut up fresh fruits and prepared glasses of cold water for all the mortals and demi gods in the house.
