Chapter 233 - Side Story 23: A Mysterious God Has Descended

Ein asked his kids who wanted to go. And of course, the little bundles of energy from the Kaslana family immediately volunteered.

"Hmmm, 4 of them already. Alexis, Bellatrix, Argento, and Arcene. They have too much energy, so this is perfect for them." Ein smiled and was excited as well to have a new adventure with them.

Their mothers, Kiana, Kallen, and Bianka thought it was a good idea to let them become more independent. But they'll still go with them and watch over them.

The next ones were, Shenlong, Laplace, Aurum, Vesta, Anaahat, Musubi, and Celeste. Fu Hua, Vill-v, Eden, Elysia, Mobius, HIMEKO's, and Aponia's children. (I will change Vill-v's child to Laplace, so there is no confusion.)

Shenlong wanted to hone her martial arts and broaden her horizons. Laplace desired to industrialize the world they will be going to. Aurum and Vesta were besties like their mom so they had to go together. While Celeste would act as their warden. They tend to do crazy things after all.

Ana would be their leader because she was the eldest while Musubi is technically their big sister. So the two quarreled with each other and decided to just share the responsibility.

"Chichi-ue we also want to go, we would like to test the sharpness of our blade." A pink haired girl with silver highlights requested and her sibling that looked like her except she had fox ears nodded.

Akira and Haku, the children of Yae and SAKURA were eager to go. "Papa, grandma also gave me permission. Mom doesn't want to teach me more moves. So can I go too?" A girl with long, jet black, straight hair sporting his green eyes held on to her sword was bristling with excitement.

"At least give a letter to Mei alright? Izumi." Ein patted her head and the girl nodded with a serious face. As she was going to go against her mother's wishes. But children her age wants to be more independent.

"Kukuku, I will be selling tons of merchandise there with mom! Ain't that right, mom?" Tora's spirit as a merchant was burning brightly.

"That's right, nya! Your dad made a supermarket back at that place called Teyvat, we can't lose you know?" Phyllis declared and Can meowed. Agreeing with them.

The other kids decided to go later as they were having a competitive match in their MOBA again. There were multiple factions for his kids. There were the martial artists, gamers, scientists, and the happy go lucky.

"Alright, let's goooo!" Ein cheered, the kids got excited and they were eager to have an excursion with their dad. Ein sealed their powers and noble phantasms, they were now only able to use it when they were in big trouble.

Kiana, Kallen, Bianka, Elysia, Phyllis, and not surprisingly. Hua joined them as well. While the others willingly stayed to look after the others.

"They're so excited~ It's like we're going for a nice picnic." Elysia gave a warm smile and thought that the kids will be learning some lessons from Ein. And in true Ein fashion, it would be difficult.

Ein wanted them to learn compassion, patience, friendliness, prudence, and temperance. They are gods, what they could do with their powers is limitless.

Untold amounts of destruction and suffering would result from their actions if they don't learn these things. So he decided on a particular time where they could easily cultivate their virtues.

Every single one of them were pretty nice and aren't really brats. Especially Celeste, as she was Aponia's daughter and the cosplaying nun is a kind, but often misunderstood person.

Though there's a big but on that. They're cold and indifferent against other people they do not know well. The kids were really attached to their family and do not give a single fuck about strangers.

It was also great timing. As Ningguang needed to stabilize the Hamn empire and Beidou would be training her crew so they could conquer the grand line.

"Huddle up, we're going now. Say goodbye to the others and leave them a message okay?" Ein patted their heads and gave a smile.

The entourage then travelled to another world again so they could have fun, learn, and most importantly. To create some family memories.

The kids opened their eyes and they saw that they were in pretty flat plain in which grass grew. It looked like the country side and the wind blew gently. Making the grass sway, a warm breeze tickled their skin and the calming smell of earth entered everybody's nose.

"Hah, this is a nice place daddy. But there's no people anywhere for hundreds of kilometers?" Tora sniffed the air and she couldn't sense people anywhere.

"Hehe, that is par for the course. We will travel to the place we need to go to. Travelling by teleporting everywhere will not expose you to the sceneries. We need to see the world." Ein patted Tora's head and caressed her cat ears. Making her purr.

"I see, that is such an old man line, father. But it is also full of wisdom." Celeste nodded in satisfaction, but Ein gave a wry smile. Thinking if his daughter insulted or praised him.

"So? We're gonna walk to our destination?" Laplace asked with scrutiny. Thinking that they should at least ride an ATV or something.

"Mou~ Laplace-chan. You'll get lazy if you don't walk often. You gotta learn to walk before you can run. Though it is a little bit too late for that as every single one of you can teleport anywhere already." Elysia gave a wry smile as she chided Laplace.

"Uuuu. Yes, mama Elysia. I just don't see the point of travelling by foot. We can still see the scenery by car right?" Laplace raised a good point and Ein decided to compromise.

"Okay, baby girl. We'll travel with these then." Ein took out mountain bikes and Laplace was satisfied with that. Because they could have vastly improved speed. Impatient to go to their destination and industrialize it.

"Um, dad. Where are we going anyways?" Shenlong asked and looked around. They were in the middle of nowhere, travelling in such a serene landscape was therapeutic and all. But how could she hone her martial arts.

"Don't worry little Shen, there will be opportunities to fight at our travel. And I promise you that you will be able to practice a lot. You guys are still strong right now, but not too strong." Ein informed them and they nodded.

"So, this is a test huh? We understand chichi-ue." Akira nodded in understanding, while Haku and Izumi thought it will be a great time to polish their Bushido code.

"This will be a great adventure! I will be this world's hero, watch me!" Alexis excitedly announced and her other Kaslana sisters didn't want to lose.

"Don't be ridiculous Alexis, we will be the best heroes here. Two is better than one after all!" Argento and Arcene spoke at the same time, showcasing their twin powah.

"Guys, calm down. We aren't at full power, remember?" Bellatrix tried calming them down as the eldest of the Kaslana kids.

"Yes, yes, settle down everyone. We should start our journey now. Time is wasting." The stoic Anahaat reminded them.

"Yesss~ We should go now, by the way dad. Can Aurum and I ride a bike with two sets of pedals?" Vesta asked for a tandem bike and he didn't see anything wrong with it.

"Yosh! Let's go kids, race you to somewhere interesting!" Hua started riding her bike and the kids got competitive of course.

"Ahhh! Mama Hua is cheating!" Aurum pulled Vesta to their bike and started pedaling to catch up. The others then began riding their bikes and would observe the surroundings to try and find something of note.

__

After some time, riding their bikes leisurely after Celeste scolded them. Where even Hua was lectured, they found something interesting and Tora pointed it out.

"Look, there's a small green creature over there!" Tora then tried sniffing it from far away and she almost puked. "Bleh! That thing smells rancid! Kill it! KILL IT RIGHT NOW!" Tora's pupils constricted and her fur spiked up. Her claws sprouted out, the blood in her body pumped up to the max and she was about to rampage.

"Calm down, Tora! It looks like one of those goblins in the games of mama Bronya called RPG." Haku pointed out and put a hand on her sword.

"Heh, leave it to onee-chan. Fireball!" Musubi sent out a decent sized fireball after sensing that there was magic in the world.

The little stinky bugger got hit with it and screamed in agony from the fire. Musubi then gave her sisters a peace sign.

"Hehehe, it got cooked well. That should've took care of the stench, Tora. But dad really limited our powers in this world. I would've vaporized this entire forest with that fireball." Musubi opened and closed her fist, trying to get a feel of the specs of her body.

"Hey, didn't it say in mama Bronya's RPG that they're like cockroaches?" Alexis remembered a snippet of lore in the game.

"Then let's kill them all, they are a pest. And they will bring us no benefits. I can't even experiment on them, they're at the bottom of the food chain." Ana shrugged and just wanted to exterminate them to the ground.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Shenlong started stretching and noticed that she could learn more in her current state. As she was less likely to compensate with strength. Refining her technique.

"Awww, they're going to exterminate their first group of vermin together! Vesta and Aurum are the only ones who worked together like that." Kallen reminisced the time when the two would destroy monster nests in apocalyptic worlds.

"Let's see their team work. They're not gonna have a difficult time, but working together will give them some problems." Bianka nodded sagely and Kiana agreed.

"Ehhh? Why not just let them rampage and kill anything in sight?" Hua thought it was a waste of time, but Elysia pinched her cheeks.

"It's so they'll get closer, Hua. Now watch over them quietly." Elysia smiled at her, but Hua knew that Elysia would smack her senseless again, like when she awakened if she didn't shut up.

"Sorry about this Tora, but can you locate them by smell? Vanguard will be Alexis, Bellatrix, Argento, and Arcene. They have high defense compared to everyone else." Ana started splitting them into teams.

"Our rear guard consists of me! Celeste, Laplace, Vesta, and Aurum." Musubi hugged her little sisters and they nodded. As they were more comfortable in throwing projectiles.

"The rest will be acting as the commando squad. Search and destroy, pick your targets and eliminate them. Especially when they get separated from their group." Shenlong stepped up to be their squad leader and they would be the special forces.

The vanguard along with their scout Tora quickly tracked down a little village at a forest. "We've got visuals on the target." Laplace created a rudimentary telescope and mapped out the enemies.

"What's the situation then, Laplace?" Ana asked and the brilliant little engineer started counting them all.

"There's 50 that is all around patrolling in groups of two to four. The makeshift tents number about twenty and they have 4 green skins a tent. The tent in the middle got 20 elite looking goblins wearing rudimentary armor and the leader is there too." Laplace gave her sisters critical information and they began planning their fight.

"Yosh, our squad will begin with a barrage of spells or projectiles." Musubi announced.

"We will spread out and cut down any stragglers while the vanguard advances with the back line. Eliminating them entirely." Shenlong's commando squad will enter with the vanguard, but they will spread out once inside.

"Solid plan, now let's go. I will go with the vanguard, I am at least trained in melee weapons as well." Ana volunteered to be in the vanguard.

The girls began their plan and the back line started preparing their attacks. Musubi created multiple balls of fire. Vesta, shards of crystals that will fall down like hail. Celeste crackled with lightning. Laplace prepared frag grenades and Aurum was going to stun the camp when they enter with a sonic attack.

"Wait one moment, my nanobots just gathered the materials. I'll make my grenades now." Laplace's gloves were multi purpose engineering gloves that would make engineers cream theirselves. They were tools that can manipulate any material to her will.

Laplace threw the grenades and scattered them throughout the camp. Vesta even covered the explosives with crystals after Laplace thought it would give more shrapnel.

Like a trigger, Celeste sent her lightning to the grenades and made them explode instantly. Shrapnel flew everywhere, shredding the goblins into pieces by the dozens.

Musubi then released her fireballs at them for a barrage, accompanied by Vesta's hail of crystal blades. The camp was in utter chaos and Aurum went to the entrance, giving out an inaudible scream that shaked their bodies and made their lungs collapse.

The vanguard closed in rapidly with the commando squad and with great efficiency. Started hacking them to pieces.

After a few minutes, every single one of them died like a dog and the only one left was the goblin chief. Staring at the girls with hatred, while Anahaat gave a toothy smirk at it. Amused that the little weakling was angry that he was too weak. (like this)

"Hoh? Why are you so angry? No matter, I'll send you soon to your friends and family." Ana took out an experimental bio weapon she tried creating and threw the vial right at the goblin. It started coughing violently and blood started seeping out of its every pore. It then twitched madly, before its eyeballs popped and died.

"Wooh! That was gnarly, but this is really fun! Let's go and fight more monsters!" Alexis waved her sword around.

They then discussed the potential problems of their plan earlier. Like they could step on Vesta's sharp crystals, the commando squad may not be able to 1v1 a certain enemy, the back line might get ambushed, etc.

"Look at them, they're so smart." Ein wiped tears from his eyes and was proud of them. Thinking that they were actually already quite prudent.

"But as expected of Mobius' daughter. She has some problems with her pride and no regard for life. Though she does like cute things just like her mom." Kallen sighed and thought she would need a lot of help.

"What did you expect? She idolized her parents a lot, especially Mobius. Ana might be more attached to Ein. But she wants the recognition of Mobius." Kiana shrugged and ate some donuts. Giving some to the Kaslana kids.

"Hah, she's more normal than Mobius. But she's still a bit too logical. Let's hope that she could gain more empathy in this trip." Ein sighed, knowing that Ana was the one that needed this trip the most.

"But they are pretty much tactical geniuses, they're not even serious yet. We all know they made simple plans on purpose. But not as genius as me though!" Hua smiled at their tactics, but she was still of course the bestest.

"Okay, gang. Let's continue our journey!" Ein cheered them on and they began cycling again in the wilderness. It was a surreal sight for sure, seeing a large family cycling in the middle of nowhere.

It was already night and the kids got tired. Even though they were superhuman still, biking monotonously for hours would make anyone tired. Even just mentally.

"Okay, how about we stay in this clearing for now? I'll prepare a house, but you guys lay down the foundation." Ein wanted them to help with their camp and they joyfully flattened the ground so the temporary house won't be crooked.

Ein took out a capsule and threw it on the ground. A house then popped out as the contents of the capsule grew to its original size just like capsule Corp.

"Go and take a bath kids, we will go and continue our journey tomorrow. It's actually pretty close now, we will get there in the afternoon." Ein then went to the kitchen and prepared their dinner. While the mothers helped the kids bathe.

Ein then heard Hua shout out water fight. He shook his head and smiled at their antics.

And while they were at the dining table, they heard a knock at the door. "Celeste, honey. Can you open the door?" Ein requested as Celeste eats normal amounts of food, she enjoys the taste of his cooking. But she does not gorge herself on it, unlike her Kaslana sisters.

She nodded and unceremoniously opened the door. She saw a blue haired woman that had a bow on her back. (pic)

"Hmmm, who are you?" Celeste asked with her dead fish eyes and it unsettled the woman. "Ahhh, I am Artemis... I am the goddess of the hunt, my hunting party found this house in the middle of nowhere and we actually would like to ask if we can get shelter here? It will start to rain soon." Artemis pointed at her hunting party and the youngest one was even 8 years old.

"Wait for a moment, father? Can we let this lady in the house? She said she's a goddess." Celeste turned her back on Artemis and called out inside the house.

"Sure, it's about to rain anyways." Ein replied and Celeste nodded at Artemis. "Father has given his permission, please take off your shoes and store them there when you enter." Celeste instructed.

"Thank you, kind stranger. This is a big help." Artemis sighed in relief that they wouldn't sleep in tents while it rained. The master of the house was also married, so he won't be as dangerous. Especially when the daughter looked like her face was sculpted by a god. His wife must be beautiful.

"Umu, but please don't be unruly and follow our rules. Or I will have to discipline those who cannot follow." Celeste's eyes glowed for a second and Artemis felt the immense pressure. But it disappeared suddenly and thought she was just hallucinating due to exhaustion.

Celeste had special privileges as she wouldn't misuse her powers, especially her powers to discipline as the warden of her sisters. Though she can go overboard for sure.

"Ahhh, we will not infringe on your kindness. Isn't that right everyone?" Artemis shouted out behind her and they affirmed their goddess' words.

"Good, now please take a bath, eat dinner, and go to your respective rooms." Celeste went back to the dining room and Artemis thought the tall girl was very intimidating.

Artemis followed Celeste to introduce herself to the family and found that there were actually many people there already.

"Hello, I am the goddess of the hunt. Artemis, thank you for your hospitality." She gave a succinct intro and they greeted back.

"Now, I will prepare a nice meal for you guys after you take a bath. Don't worry, you can fit inside the bathroom." Ein shooed them away because they were dirty.

The familia went to the bathroom one by one and saw instructions inside. "Woah, Artemis-sama. Are they perhaps nobles? This place looks really nice. And they also have magic artifacts like this so called washeeng masheen." A redhead teen was awed. (pic)

"Rethusa, you may be right. But let's not sweat the small things, they kindly let us inside this house and even offered their bath." Artemis chided her.

They then entered the bath area and even Artemis was pleasantly surprised. "My goodness, how can a bath this elegant be made in a house located at the middle of nowhere?" The goddess saw that the bathroom is made out of solid marble and warm water constantly flowed to the large pool in the middle.

They then gathered at the dining room after wearing their clean clothes again that was automatically put into baskets. The familia saw Ein just finishing up plating the food and he gave them a smile.

"Here, you guys must be famished yeah?" Ein gestured for them to sit down and Artemis felt that all of them were very mysterious. But he trumps them all.

"Don't worry, it's not drugged or something. Thought it would feel like it was." Ein chuckled and Artemis knew he wasn't lying. As gods and goddesses know whenever someone is lying.

Lante, their youngest member who is a half elf instantly dug in and her eyes rolled when she tried the food. Slamming her face on the table, completelt unresponsive as if she just died.

"Lante!? Lante! You bastard, I knew this house was too suspicious!" Artemis was about to reach out for her bow, but they heard bells ring in their heads and were instantly incapacitated.

Every movement they had in their bodies were reversed. If they tried moving their left hands, their right hands were the one to take action.

"Hmph, I already told you Artemis... If you make a ruckus in our abode. You will suffer consequences." Celeste's eyes glowed and she was about to discipline them. When Lante suddenly gasped and looked around, confused.

"Wha? Where am I? I was in heaven a second ago." The half elf gave an exasperated expression as she woke up from her dream.

"Relax, Celeste. But you did good and didn't just start messing with their minds in a heartbeat. And Artemis, as you can see. Lante is fine, her soul just left her body for a bit and ascended to heaven." Ein chuckled and the half elf child ate the food ravenously with a delightful expression.

"Ein-sama! Can I have seconds, please!? I'll sell my soul for another bowl of this!" Lante asked for more with barely contained zeal.

"I... I see, then forgive us. We thought that Lante was poisoned..." Artemis blushed in embarrassment and sat back down to her seat. Though she felt unnerved with how Celeste incapacitated them like that. And she was about to raise her hand earlier with a glint in her eye. Making the goddess shiver.

One by one, the hunters went through what Lante just did and they now understood why her soul left her body. It was just too damned good!

"E-Ein... Are you a god of cooking and you're using your arcanum to create this miracle?" Artemis trembled as she took another bite. It was like ambrosia on crack, even food in heaven can't compare.

"Hmm, I don't know. Just enjoy your food and wash the dishes afterwards okay? I have to tuck in my kids to bed." Ein waved them goodbye and went with Celeste so they can sleep.

"Artemis-sama... Is Ein-sama a god?" Rethusa asked her goddess and Artemis had a complicated expression on her face.

"I do not know, Rethusa. But all of them has this unique aura. It's not exactly like the gods, but they feel as though they have sealed their powers." Artemis speculated that they might be from another pantheon. But she has never seen them before.

"Anyways, let's clean up here and talk to them at dawn." Artemis stood up and initiated the clean up. She was a goddess of action after all.

__

In the morning, Argento and Arcene woke up first as Bianka likes to make them exercise or stretch early. They don't need it, but it was a good habit and helps them start their day.

Celeste followed suit and she rubbed her eyes. "Thanks for existing, father." Celeste starts the day by thanking her dad as she and her mother won't be alive without him. Celeste might not look like it, but she loves her family very much.

"Alright, ladies. Let's go down and have some breakfast. I'll prepare it, so better wake everyone up okay?" Ein smiled at the awake ones and they nodded.

"Mom, help me wake up mama Kiana and Kallen." Bianka's kids wanted some assistance as they sleep like a log.

Ein went down to the living room and he saw the familia of Artemis watching a national geographic documentary about penguins in the Antarctic regions. Making the pretty ignorant girls wonder how the birds survive such harsh conditions.

"Hey, that baby seal is cute. I want one." One of the girls gushed at the baby seal with white fur. "It's cute, but the baby penguins are better." They started arguing and Ein smiled at their antics.

"Hello, good morning Ein. Is it okay if they continue watching this magical library of knowledge?" Artemis thought it was another magical artifact that contains deep knowledge.

"It's fine, they're enjoying it too. I'm gonna prepare breakfast, how about you talk to me and keep me company while I do so?" Ein wiggled his eyebrows and Artemis nodded, not understanding the innuendo.

"So, Ein. You have a pretty big family, but I managed to see that there is absolutely nothing here besides this wonderful house. Why did you even build it here in the first place? The nearest place to get supplies is hours away." Artemis was baffled by their decision.

"Ohhh? That, we're actually not living here. This is just a temporary home actually. Our goal is Orario, we stopped by here because it was late." Ein continued preparing with inhuman speed and Artemis was confused once again.

"What!? So you'll just up and leave this house when you start your journey again!? Or you will leave some of them here? But it's dangerous out here, there's monsters roaming around even though it's rare around this place." Artemis couldn't understand and Ein just chuckled.

"Don't worry about it, we'll take it too. It's a mobile home, I'll let you see it later. Keep it a secret though, or bad things will happen to you." Ein said with a laugh and Artemis went quiet. Sure that something terrible would happen if she blabbered.

"How about you guys? You're probably going to Orario too, right? Probably hunted a monster for the guild here outside Orario." Ein guessed as the Artemis familia didn't really operate inside the city.

"Un, we are going back because we have subjugated the monster that was requested. We need to resupply and maintain our equipment back in Orario. But It's not in a good condition since Zeus and Hera failed at slaying the one eyed black dragon." Artemis was concerned, especially because Ein had a company of beauties with him.

Orario was pretty lawless right now because of the power vacuum that the Zeus and Hera familia left when they got exiled from the city due to their failure.

"Ahhh, about that. Don't worry, I've got a nice little secret for that. I'd worry more about yourself and your familia if I were you. How's this, when you come back to Orario next time. I'll get you guys some pretty nice escorts." Ein offered and Artemis felt that he would be able to do so.

"I guess... Thank you for the offer then, I will gladly accept when the time comes." Artemis gave a wry smile and a hand suddenly groped her from behind.

"Oya~ little Artemis~ are you trying to seduce our husband? Saying that you'll rely on him on the future?" Elysia had a grin on her face as she groped the proud, virgin goddess skillfully.

"Ahn~ W-what are you talking about Elysia!?" Artemis pushed her away and had a huge blush on her face.

"Kukuku~ You look like the innocent, but cold maiden that will seduce a man when you get closer nya." Phyllis did the same and Artemis crouched down on the ground to protect her body.

"Hey, knock it off you guys. Ask for permission first, then you could fondle her however you want." Ein waved his spatula and nodded sagely.

"How is that any different!? I won't consent to it either way!" Artemis had tears on her eyes from embarrassment and it turned to a pretty noisy morning.

__

After breakfast and a little shower. Everyone started to prepare for their journey once again. Artemis let her familia do something in the meantime so Ein could show her what he meant earlier.

"This home can be carried everywhere. I just gotta do this." Ein took out the capsule where it came from and just pushed the button on it again. The house got sucked up inside of it and Artemis gaped like a fish out of water.

"Heh? So Artemis-san hasn't seen something like that before eh? This is a medieval world of swords and magic then. An advanced society with magic would be interesting, but I guess I can dye this world with my technology." Laplace had an intrigued face and Anahaat nodded. Thinking that they could work together to bring modern science in this world.

"Now, let's go. Call back your hunters Artemis." Ein instructed her and Artemis did so. But she kept on staring at the metal contraption with wheels that they were riding on.

"Dad, I think she reallyyyyy wants to ride a bike." Bellatrix noticed her stare and Ein thought that he needed to teach his kids how to become masters in business. He was waiting for Artemis to ask about it so he could get a contract out of something simple like bicycles. Maybe turn them into an elite familia that would work for them and function as guardians like the Astraea familia.

"Umm, not that I want to use it. But I am curious on what kind of vehicle is that?" Artemis looked with interest and Ein just started biking. Doing tricks like it was a bmx.

"As you can see, it's just a pretty good transport. We like to exercise, so we use these. Want to travel with us using these as well?" Ein offered and Artemis nodded after thinking of it for some time.

Ein snapped his fingers and multiple bicycles appeared. Enough for the whole Artemis familia, one also appeared with training wheels for Lante.

"Who are you really? Ein..." Artemis whispered and was getting more and more curious as time went on. As she was a goddess that has lived for millions of years. And in her long life, she has never heard nor learned of people like them.

The familia of Artemis came back and they started learning how to ride a bike pretty quickly. Everybody then started travelling to Orario.

__

The group quickly arrived at the gates of Orario and Artemis tried giving their bicycles back to Ein. "Ahhh, no keep it with you. Maybe use it when you're leisurely just exploring?" Ein insisted they keep it.

"If you say so, seeing that you have that wonderful house. You probably have enough resources to make more of these. Thank you Ein, your help is greatly appreciated." Artemis thanked them with a smile and her familia thanked his family for the wonderful experience.

The Artemis familia went first and Ein waited for them to get in. "Alright, gang. We're here at the target. I'll give you your objectives when we settle down, but I need to do something first with your mothers." Ein patted them one by one and they entered the gates.

Ein was too lazy for gate guard bullshit, so he implanted memories on them quickly and they entered the city.

"So, Ein~ Where are we going anyways? I mean, this place looks gnarly and all. But won't the kids get bored pretty quickly here?" Hua was concerned and the others agreed.

"Don't worry, that's why I brought them here at this specific time. This place is having a tough time, the kids lack contact with other people. Especially, normal people. They'll learn a lot because of what will happen next here." Ein planned to let them do whatever they want. Except with some rules, let them have fun at the dungeon too. But they will learn better if they experience things without much interference from them.

"Now let's register at the guild." Ein and co. quickly located the guild and they entered, immediately going to a receptionist and Ein stared at the girl at the help desk with his slitted eyes.

"W-w-w-what can I do for you sir?" She trembled at her desk and thought he was a high class adventure that was seeking trouble.

"Oh, nothing much girl. Register my familia and theirs too. The Honkai, Kaslana, Schariac, and Taixuan familias." Ein tapped on the desk, pressuring her silently.

But the receptionist sighed in relief upon hearing that they were gods. "Umm, may I know which pantheons you come from? Your names aren't registered in heaven you see?"

Ein just manipulated her memories again and they were granted familia status pretty quickly. He then bought tons of property by selling magic cores he sold to them gaining their currency, valis.

"Let's go, everyone. Oh and kids, you're level 1 adventurers now. Congratulations." Ein gave them their marks and used either the stigmata of their mother, or their signets as crests.

"Cool! So do we like unlock abilities whenever we level up or something?" Musubi had her fair share of games and thought she was like a game character.

"Umu, astute observation dear. At your current level, you'll have more control over energies. A skill called mana rule, but you have to level it up first before you could be true rulers of mana." Ein gave lectures about their new skill for their new specs.

"You gain exp when you kill things in the dungeon or train, any questions?" Ein wanted them to have strong basic knowledge about the system they'll follow for a while.

"Yeah dad, just what is our objectives here?" Anahaat was curious and knew that he was always scheming something whenever he does things.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you what you should do here. First, I want you girls to hone your skills inside the dungeon. You just throw things around all the time. And applying your skills to an unpredictable opponent is different." Ein explained, making the girls listen with focus.

"And when you level up a bunch of times. I want you girls to recruit people into the familia on your own. Then you can do whatever you want." It was quite simple, but Musubi and Anahaat had their suspicions. Unlike the others who thought it would be easy.

"But what our first step today is... Building a home here with your own two hands. I want you guys to create a nice base. We're your gods after all, we need a home hehe~" Ein shamelessly gave the responsibility to his kids, but they got fired up.

"Ohhh! Then I'll make the best house, dad! I want to see the area where we can build stuff!" Laplace immediately asked for the space they can use.

"Oh, oh! Can we have dojos and stuff there?" Izumi went up to Laplace with Akira and Haku. Pestering Laplace for a dojo as they wanted a traditional Japanese one.

"A lab would be nice, Laplace. I know you'll design a good building." Anahaat gave a thumbs up.

"Oooh, how about a cute room with tons of stuffed toys?" Musubi suggested, as she inherited her love for plushies from HIMEKO.

"That's a great idea, Musubi. How about a place for pets too?" Anahaat went on a back and forth with Musubi for cute things.

"Ugh, can we eat first daddy? I'm getting hungry." Alexis clinged to him as her stomach rumbled. Bellatrix and the Kaslana twins were hungry too, but they were a bit shyer than Kiana's daughter.

"Humu, an armory would be nice." Shenlong imagined a room filled with weapons.

"A music room too, Laplace! I want to play music for daddy! Probably a shop at the ground floor too. So Tora could sell some items, Vesta. How about you? Want anything in our new house?" Aurum asked her pink haired sibling.

"Hmmm~ Maybe I can create cosmetics like Mama's company and have a section for myself on Tora's store?" Vesta really liked beautiful things after all.

"Nice idea, nya! Come on, we gotta tell Laplace. She gets too focused with making things often, the girl will probably forget!" Tora pulled her sisters in arms and Laplace got bombarded with requests.

"Ahhh~ They're having so much fun." Hua gave a wide smile, but she suddenly felt that someone was watching them and she immediately threw a blade that turned into a beam with how fast it travelled.

She then saw the peeper and stared at the culprit with a wide grin. Dragging her thumb across her neck as she laughed.

The culprit got a bald spot on the top of her head and became angry. But it suddenly hit her, the curious newcomers could see her with ease and could send her back to heaven in a heartbeat. She lost strength in her legs and wouldn't peek on people for a while.

"Alright, don't bombard Laplace too much. We'll have a nice lunch first okay? Then she will build the place." Ein took them outside Orario and found a nice spot for a picnic.

Thanks for reading everyone. And yes, as you have noticed. This is Danmachi at the time of the dark period. Ein will be building his children's character there. Because they are true gods that are more apathetic towards mortals if they are not interesting. Anyways, ciao.
