SILENCE.
TOTAL SILENCE.
All the waitresses of "Hostess of Fertility" got shocked hearing this. To the point they became completely silent. They felt that they were having hearing issue and started to rub their ears.
Lunoire: I am sorry. Which Floor?
Primis: 25th.
Lunoire: ...…
Ryuu: ...…
Chloe: ...…
Anya: ...…
Hearing it second time, they became certain that they didn't hear anything wrong.
Chloe: Hahahahahahahha. Come on, Primis. This joke is not funny, meow~.
Primis didn't answer. Seeing this Chloe stopped her laugh and turned to Lili and Haruhime who also didn't try to deny it. Silence appeared in the bathroom again. Ryuu and others kept on looking at Lili and Haruhime who refused to say anything. As the atmosphere was becoming more and more awkward, Primis spoke.
Primis: Lili. Haruhime. We are going to dungeon in two hours like yesterday. Prepare yourself till then.
Nodding their head, they both stood up.
SPLASH!!!
Once they stood up, their whole naked body was in full display of Primis. They didn't shy away or tried to hide it. They just walked back to the dressing room where they put their clothes normally.
CREAK!!!!
Door opened and they both left. Primis didn't show any change of expression even when their whole body was in front of him. He turned his gaze at Ryuu and others now. Still, he was indifferent even when he was looking at their naked bodies. After living for countless years, the things that can move him are very little.
Primis: You all must have already heard the news of Evilus, didn't you?
Hearing this, grave expression appeared on all their faces. When they were doing their work in "Hostess of Fertility" yesterday, they realized the number of people who visit them had decreased drastically. Then they saw Civilians and Adventurers leaving Orario carrying their stuffs. Many shop owners closed their shops and were also leaving. That time, they heard the Adventurers talk about the return of Evilus. It greatly shocked them.
Ryuu: How much are you sure about Evilus return?
Ryuu asked.
Primis: Hundred Percent.
Rage appeared on Ryuu face as she clenched her fists tightly when she heard Primis confirmation. The thing that she hates the most are Evilus. After all, they were responsible for the death of her entire Familia. If any of them appeared in front of her, she won't hesitate to kill him or her even in public. Lunoire, Chloe, and Anya sigh noticing Ryuu behavior.
Suddenly, Primis suddenly appeared in front of Ryuu. Next, he put his hand on her head. Ryuu looked at Primis with surprise expression.
Primis: Ryuu, I am not going to say that you should forgive them or instead of killing capture them so that they will get the punishment they deserve or something. What I want to say is, don't let rage control you. Otherwise, you will pay heavy for it.
Ryuu: ...
Understanding what Primis meant, all of Ryuu's rage vanished. Her clenched fist loosened as she looked down like a little girl who did something wrong. Even if her previous goddess Astrea would have said those words, Ryuu would have ignored it. But that's not the case for Primis.
Primis then pulled Ryuu closer and put her head on his chest. Ryuu didn't try to resist and just closed her eyes to enjoy the warmth of his embrace. Lunoire, Chloe, and Anya witnessing this left the bathroom quietly. They can tell currently only Primis could calm Ryuu down.
Ryuu remained in Primis embrace for some time. No one spoke anything and just remained like this. After some time, when Ryuu heart relaxed, she separated. There was a blush on her face as she said in mosquito voice.
Ryuu: T-Thank you.
Primis nodded and spoke.
Primis: You better get dress up and get ready.
Ryuu: It's alright. Since the number of people who come to "Hostess of Fertility" decreased a lot. Mama Mia told us that we will open 2 hours late from today onwards.
Primis: I see. Then use this extra time to tell Lili and Haruhime more about the monsters of 25th Floor or deeper.
Ryuu: Ok...…You really took them to 25th Floor. They just yesterday morning became Level 1 Adventurer.
Primis: Yes. And it's best for both too. If by coincidence or something they meet Evilus then they won't even be a cannon fodder.
Ryuu: ...*sigh* You're right. Ok. Leave it to use. We will teach them all we know about monsters and dungeon.
Primis: That will be better.
SPLASH!!!!
Ryuu then got out of the water and left the bathroom too. Now that the entire bathroom became empty except for Primis inside. He also turned to leave. But suddenly he stopped and looked back at the bathroom whose size was as big as a swimming pool. At this time, a distant memory surfaced in his mind.

SPLASH!!!!!
Little Girl: PAPA, COME ON. WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW?
A little girl who was 5-6 years old jumped in a swimming pool and waved at the aged man. The man appeared to be 35-40 years old. But in truth, he was only 30 years old.
???: *HUFF* *HUFF* What do you mean "come on"? Unlike you I am already too old for such stuff. *HUFF* *HUFF*
Little Girl: That's because the only thing you do was sitting in the room while going through one document after another all day. If you would have used 1-2 hours a day to do some exercise, then you won't have become like this.
???: Yes. Yes. Papa is wrong and my cute princess is right.
Little Girl: Hmph.
The girl snorted but there was still a smile on her face.
???: Can't you just ask your mom to accompany you?
Little Girl: That's the same thing you say every time. This time both mom and I had decided to drag you out of that room.
???: So, you and your mom joined forces this time.
Little Girl: Of Course.
The Little Girl showed a triumphant smile and waved at someone behind that man.
Little Girl: Mama, is Papa still thinking of returning to that room?
???: I AM NOT.
The man shouted to stop the girl.
Woman: Really. *sigh* Looks like we need to burn that room once we will return.
The person was a middle-aged woman in her early twenties and was wearing two-pieces purple swimsuit. Though the woman was beautiful, she was not overly beautiful. Her beauty was at most some higher than Average that's all.
Little Girl: I will also help.
???: YOU WON'T. I was just kidding. I also enjoy spending time with my cute princess and beautiful wife.
Little Girl & Woman: Hmph. Glib tongue.
???: No. What I said was true.
The man started to sweat bullets as he knew that his wife and daughter will definitely burn his room if he didn't console them. So, he started using different ways to calm them. At first, both Little Girl and Woman kept on ignoring him then they laughed when they saw how hard the man was trying to convince them. It was really a happy family.

PITTER!!!!
PATTER!!!
PITTER!!!!
PATTER!!!

…
The same man was now sitting on a bench. He was wearing black clothes and his head was down. Rain was falling on his body in this cold weather, but he didn't care. His eyes had already become empty. In front of him, the group of men were carrying two coffins, one big and one small. Both were the coffins of his wife and daughter. Those men buried those coffins in ground. They then stayed for an hour before leaving one-by-one.
The middle-aged man remained sitting on the bench while the last words of his daughter kept on resounding in his ears.
---------
Little Girl: Papa. Let's go the mountain climbing next time.
???: You want to kill your Papa. How could I do mountain climbing?
Little Girl: Then you better start doing exercise to increase the fitness of your body. Otherwise, Mom and I will definitely burn your room this time.
???: No. No. No. I will do it. Leave everything to me.
Little Girl: Yay. I am sure Papa can do it.
---------
PITTER!!!!
PATTER!!!
Those words just kept on resounding in middle-aged man ears. As people were leaving, they were talking among themselves in whisper.
People 1: So, how did they die?
People 2: From what I have heard, a thug was running after stealing. When he got surrounded, he picked that Little Girl to use her as hostage. Her mother tried to rescue her but since the thug had knife, he embedded it into the woman chest. Seeing her mother condition, the little girl in the thug hand tried to struggle. However, the thug was already panicking about what he did, he punched the little girl head with his full strength to stop her resistant. However, the little girl neck broke. After all, she was just a 5–6-year-old girl while that thug fought in underground arena.
People 3: So, he was a professional fighter.
People 2: Yes.
People 1: Was he under custody now?
People 2: No. It appears that since he fought in underground arena, he knows many high nobles who put their gambling money on him. As a result, he got free in two days with a warning.
People 3: What? So, he is running free now.
People 2: Yes.
People 1: *sigh* Too bad. I heard !@#$%^& even went to ask justice for his wife and daughter but he got nothing in return. On top of that, he is getting threat letters to stop going from here to there to ask for justice.
People 3: I heard that almost all the companies who he signed contracts with break the contract from their end.
People 1: So, he even lost his job?
People 3: Yes. No one came to help him either.
Then these people turned their gaze at the middle-aged man who was still sitting with his head down. The man appeared as if his soul had left his body. Then one-by-one everyone left.
PITTER!!!!
PATTER!!!
PITTER!!!!
PATTER!!!
Raindrops kept on falling on him as he kept on looking down with hollow eyes. Next, he started to mummer under his breath.
???: !@#%^&. !@#$%^&. I am sorry. I tried my best but failed. I am powerless. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry...…
The man kept on mummering "I am sorry" to his deceased wife and daughter as tears kept on falling from his eyes but since rain was falling on him, it's difficult to identify whether his face was covered with tears or rainwater. In the end, that man closed his eyes.

Primis opened his eyes and sigh. He then turned from the bathroom and appeared out of "Raven Sight" before walking towards his next destination.
Ophis: Primis.
Sheng Ming: Husband.
Ais: My Lord.
Primis remained silent for some time. Considering that their hearts are connected with Primis. All three sensed a tinge of pain in their heart for an instant when Primis was thinking about a past memory. Then Primis sighed again before shaking his head.
Primis: It's nothing.
Understanding that Primis had no intention of telling them about what happened, they also became silent and just kept on following him towards their next destination in silence.
'Primis: Yeah. It's nothing. Just some old memories of my powerlessness. That's all.'
