Chapter 143 - Meeting Artemis again

"Artemis is back?" Miyuki, who had just returned from the dungeon, was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the news about Artemis from Haruhime.

For a while, he didn't react.

"Where is she now?" Miyuki asked immediately after returning to his senses.

A few months ago,

The Artemis family took over the mission and went to investigate the ruins.

At that time, Miyuki, who knew about the tragedy of the Moon God, made a pendant containing a compressed blow of city destruction and gave it to Artemis in order to repay the kindness of knowing him.

He just wanted it to be able to play a role when they are in danger.

However, it has only been over a few months and Artemis came back.

Miyuki was lost in thought.

After reaching his current level, he knows that his blow can at most stop Antares and it can't injure him seriously.

After all, his attack was at most Anti-city, while Antares is at least Anti-country level.

Judging from Artemis coming back and looking for him instead of going to other gods, he can probably guess that he couldn't stop Artemis from being swallowed.

Even he doesn't know whether the members of the Artemis familia are still alive.

"They must survive." Thinking about the ending of Artemis and her familia, Miyuki clenched his fists and he was inevitably worried.

Suddenly, Miyuki thought of something and looked at his system panel.

[ Mission Name: Grateful

Introduction: The host was helped by Artemis's family. As a grateful person, you have to repay their favor.

Task: Save the tragedy of the Artemis family's destruction, and defeat the ancient monster Antares.

Successful sign-in Reward: 3,000 points, Ability lottery X1, additional depending on completion. ]

[ Task in Progress ]

Originally, Miyuki thought that the tragedy in the theatrical version would be staged again. However, after seeing the description of the task in progress, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This task requires him to save the tragedy of the destruction of the Artemis family.

If it is true as in the original book, this task should be judged to be a failure.

Now, that the girls in the Artemis familia are fine, he can think about saving.

Since he has the strength to save the Artemis familia, Miyuki will not sit idly by.

After all, Artemis is the goddess who helped him when he came to this world and her familias girls were the ones who had close relationships with him in the beginning.

So, whether it is to repay favors or to make up for the regrets of his previous life, Miyuki is definitely going to save them.

It's just one situation that makes him have a headache.

Judging from the distance from Orario to the end of the mainland, it would take at least two months to go back and forth by land.

Even if they use Dragons as mounts, it will at least take half a month.

And the most worrying thing is that Space Domination can't be used in this situation.

For specific teleportation, Space Domination needs coordinates, otherwise, god knows where he will teleport by using Space Domination.

In Reincarnated slime world, he has experienced being teleported to unknown places due to teleportation.

Maybe he will teleport to the far east or some other place instead of going to Antares.

So, Space Domination skill has been sealed until facing Antares.

"It's really a headache." Thinking about how to reach Antares, Miyuki felt a headache.

After thinking for a while, Miyuki asked, "Where is Hestia now?"

Lord Hestia went to find Lord Artemis. I heard from Lord Hestia that they were good friends when they were in heaven." Haruhime replied after hearing Miyuki's question.

"Is it..." Miyuki nodded and then he said, "I'm going out for a while."

Right now, it's important to handle Artemis's matter.

After speaking, Miyuki took away the windbreaker Haruhime put on the hanger and put it on again.

After saying hello to Cassandra, Daphne, and Haruhime, he left the villa.

Miyuki's back gradually drifted away.

Daphne came to Haruhime's side: "I just came back, but I ran out in a hurry, what happened?"

"Not sure..." Haruhime shook her head in distress and she said, "Maybe it's been too long since I saw the Lord Artemis, so I miss her very much."

'Isn't that guy like that...' Daphne rolled her eyes.

She became his woman and she has experienced how gently he treats her and Cassandra. So, she has no complaints about being Miyuki's wife.

The only problem is that Miyuki is too popular among women and he has several women.

So, Daphne wasn't surprised by Haruhime's words.

And having said that...

Daphne set her sights on Haruhime, who had an extremely proud figure and was wearing a red kimono.

She knew that this girl wasn't going to escape.

After all, Miyuki sent Ishtar back to heaven for her and this girl has long since fallen.

Although other people in Orario don't know what Miyuki did.

How could people from Hestia familia not know what he did?

After all, Haruhime was just brought back to the familia and Ishtar disappeared.

This has already proved what happened.

"It's not like that,..." While Daphne was thinking, Cassandra came behind her and spoke weakly.

Just yesterday, she again had a dream.

In that dream, the earth collapsed, the sky cracked, the forests were destroyed and huge black holes were opened in the sky.

Although she didn't see the whole picture, she still saw two shadows and then the picture was in chaos.

So, Cassandra knows that something serious has happened.

...

Walking out of the gate of the villa, Miyuki dressed in black walking on the street is eye-catching.

The black windbreaker has almost become the symbol of the Sword Master.

There were also adventurers before who thought about this kind of unique dress, but this kind of windbreaker has almost no defensive effect except for keeping warm and rainproof. So, not many adventurers really wear it.

The sun is shining brightly.

Miyuki, who was walking under the sun, found the residence of the Artemis family. His mood was a bit complicated because he returned here after a few months.

He saw that the door which should have been closed was open enough for one person to enter.

Miyuki didn't hesitate and entered directly.

After going in, he found that there were no guards around, and it was so quiet that one couldn't help but wonder if anyone had lived there.

However, Miyuki soon heard women's conversation coming from the hall.

He subconsciously stepped forward and hid aside to listen.

In the simply decorated living room, Hestia and Artemis were sitting on the sofa.

Hestia looked at her friend and said, "Artemis, obviously we all live in Orario, but we don't see each other too often, can't we play together every day like before?"

As Haruhime said.

In the heavens, Artemis and Hestia were close friends.

They are both virgins and hate men, so they spend a lot of time together.

In the original work, it had been explained.

The black-haired goddess with twin ponytails held the palm of the blue goddess and told Artemis her story in a cheerful tone.

"Let me tell you, Artemis, as for me... I established a family more than a month ago!" Like a child showing off to adults, Hestia said happily.

"Oh? Did you actually set up a family?" Hearing this, Artemis showed surprise and asked.

This reaction, on the contrary, made Hestia pout, "What, even I have children who want to join the family."

Hestia's cheeks puffed up and she said exaggeratedly, "That day, I went home from get off work as usual, and then I met that young man on the way. After our eyes met, he hugged my leg and said..." Lord God, please take me in! In this way..."

Then, Hestia grabbed Artemis's thigh and then pretended to be trembling all over, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Then, I'll take him in."

Hearing Hestia's words, Miyuki, who was hiding behind the door, twitched his mouth and thought, 'I don't know who was about to cry in the first place.'

Miyuki remembered the scene when Hestia almost cried due to his questioning.

"Ahem..." After clearing his throat and letting the two people in the living room notice him, Miyuki walked in.

"Mi... Miyuki!" The moment she recognized that it was Miyuki, Hestia opened his mouth wide in surprise, like a child who has done something wrong, and his expression flushed with embarrassment.

Then she asked with a guilty look, "You... when did you come here?"

"Just now," Miyuki said calmly.

He didn't burst Hestia's lie and made her embarrassed.

And Hestia also obviously noticed this, knowing that Miyuki didn't want her to lose face in front of her friends, so she said that.

This also made Hestia like Miyuki even more.

Then, she left the sofa and came to Miyuki and asked, "Have you returned from the dungeon? Why did it take longer than others?"

"I just needed to check a few things and nothing else." Miyuki thought of what happened and answered.

He can't tell the truth about Bell secretly kissing him.

Otherwise, Hestia will definitely explode.

As for the message from the future, there is no need to explain it because he can't completely explain it.

After all, he will have to tell about his real identity at that time in order to explain everything and then it will become troublesome.

Hestia heard Miyuki's words and was relieved, then, just as she was about to show off her most proud "child" to Artemis, she saw the Miyuki beside her wave to her friend and say, "Long time no see, Goddess Artemis."

"Well, it's true that I haven't seen you for a while." Artemis nodded and she looked at him with relief and curiosity.

On the one hand, it is the joy of meeting acquaintances.

Although she hates men, in Artemis's eyes, Miyuki is a reassuring and kind boy.

On the other hand, naturally because of his mystery.

The "Love Token" joked by Rethusa has become the key to delaying Antares.

It is impossible for a child from the lower realm to have that kind of power.

With this in mind, Artemis quietly looked at Miyuki.

The long water-blue hair cascades down like a waterfall, and the stunning beauty comparable to Hestia's is enough to make any opposite sex fall in love.

And soft yet handsome Miyuki, who can make most women fall in love with him.

Two people looked at each other, no one spoke, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

Hestia looked left and right, always felt a sour smell, and even felt another new crown being added to her head.

"You know each other?!" Looking at two people, Hestia asked with shock.

"Well, before I came to Orario, I met Goddess Artemis in the forest outside," Miyuki remembered the day when he came to this world and spoke in a nostalgic tone.

Looking back at the beginning, it seems like the next day.

"In the beginning, all kinds of things happened." Thinking of what happened, Miyuki's curled up and muttered.

Because of accidentally breaking into the bathing scene of the girls, he was regarded as a voyeur and was arrested by Artemis on the spot. There is almost no one on the team of travelers.

After knowing the relationship between Artemis and Miyuki, Hestia calmed down and felt everything was normal.

Although Artemis hates men, she is still an extremely kind goddess.

So, it's normal to help Miyuki.

Knowing the relationship between the two Hestia didn't introduce them and said, "Miyuki, she and I were good friends when we were in heaven, the kind of relationship that is too close!"

Next, Hestia bragged about her and Artemis's relationship with Miyuki.
