Problem Solver
"What do you mean, Goddess Themis?!" Odin slightly snapped in upset.
Hearing those words and the God King's angry face, Themis immediately prostrated. She thought that she had gone too far.
"P-Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This is my guilty of not being able to keep my mouth," Themis said in a trembling voice and she didn't even dare to raise her face.
"You even know, there is a strict rule for the Aesir Gods to go to the Mortal Realm! How dare you doubt my obedience to the Heaven Laws. Don't you think that you have gone too far? Goddess Themis!" said Odin angrily.
Meanwhile, Themis who heard it then became frightened. She bit her lower lip and felt regret as she thought, what a fool she is.
The atmosphere was suddenly quiet and neither Themis nor Brunhilde dared to open their voices.
However Odin then sighs and says, "Hhh … alright. I will forget about this."
Instantly, Themis felt relieved and she said, "T-Thank you for your kindness Your Majesty."
"But …"
The words made Themis fell silent as her face became agitated again.
"Don't ever meet me temporarily. I'm sick of seeing Gods doubting me."
Then Themis clenched her hands as if holding back her disappointment and said, "As your wish, Your Majesty."
"Now go out of here!" said Odin.
"Thank you Your Majesty and …"
"..."
"Congratulations on Goddess Frigga's pregnancy, may the Majesty [Zero] bless your marriage destiny. Heaven will always be by your side," said Themis in a trembling voice.
After that, Themis stood up and walked out of Valhalla. Unconsciously a tear dripped from her eyes that were covered with blind fold.
Themis couldn't help but feel hurt when she heard those words spoken by the person she loved. To be honest, her true intention of coming to Valhalla was to confirm the truth of the news about the God King's wedding ceremony, as well as to ensure whether she still had a chance to get the God King's love or not. However, she gets nothing because of her foolish mouth.
After Themis left Valhalla, Brunhilde immediately sat down and sweating all over her body. Her hands were trembling and her face was so pale. That was so close — thought Brunhilde.
On the other hand, the God King — who was standing in front of Brunhilde — slowly transformed into a different figure. His face is similar to Odin but with long white hair and a mole under his right eye. He is one of Odin's brothers who is known as the God of Life, Lodur.
Lodur then turned to glare at Brunhilde and said, "Now, just the two of us here …"
"..."
"Tell what exactly happened here, Brunhilde!"
Brunhilde fell silent and looked at Lodur while smiling awkwardly. She felt that at least this was better than dealing with Themis as the Goddess of Justice and Balance.

Detroit, Michigan (United States of America)
…
Morning arrived and was greeted with the sound of Kai grumbling while covering his left ear with his left hand. He seemed frustrated as the snoring grew louder.
"Grook … hhrr …."
"Damn it! I really couldn't sleep the whole night."
"Grook …"
"This shit … can you just shut — grookk — up your — hhrr — mouth!" Kai's said in annoyed because words were repeatedly interrupted by Odin's snoring.
"Hhrr …"
"What kind of situation is this?! — Grook — even I can't speak freely with my own — Grook — mouth!"
Although Odin has the most control over the body than Kai, however there are some body parts where they are equally in control that are the mouth and nose.
That is why Kai couldn't sleep at all, because of the sound of Odin's snoring that also came out of his mouth. That's why, Kai could not speak freely and several times his grumbling were cut off by Odin's snoring.
"Grook … hnggg, grook …"
"Ok, I'm done with this shit! Now, you wake up, motherfucker!" Kai said loudly while plugging his own nose with his left hand. On the other hand, Odin seemed to be getting distracted even though the eyes he was controlling were still closed.
"Hnng … hnng, what is going on here?" said Odin who was half-awake because he had just woken up.
"You sleep like a pig, asshole!" swore Kai.
However Odin seemed to ignore Kai's words. He then sat on the bed, stretched his right arm and head while yawning.
"Well, I'm in a very good mood right now. I didn't expect to have such a good sleep again after ascending the throne as God King. So I'll forgive you this time for calling me sleeping-pig," Odin replied and then yawned widely.
While enjoying the tranquility of the morning while gathering the senses after waking up, suddenly the [System] sounded as the screen appeared at the same time.
DING!
[Daily quests arrived!]
Odin was surprised because of the sound. Then he suddenly opened his eye widely and the [System] screen was already in front of him.
When Odin saw a [System] screen in front of his face, he groaned in frustration. He just woke up, but this damn [System] really couldn't see him relax a bit — Odin thought.
"What now?" said Odin with a lazy face.
With a mad face, Odin then sat down and read the daily quest details on the [System] screen.
[Daily missions: Activate daily missions to get a better life! Get up and do some moves every day!]
[Level Status Mission: Basic]
[Mission details: x20 Push-ups, x20 Sit-ups, x20 Squads, x20 Pull-ups, 2 km run]
[Note: Once activated it will be automatically assigned every morning. This mission is outside of the main missions so experience points will not be earned]
[Reward: Wheat bread x1 and mineral water x1]
[Penalty: -Censored- ]
[Time Limit: 1 day]
[Accept | Reject]
Odin frowned as his gaze then focused on the words [Accept/Reject]. So, this mission is not mandatory? — he thought.
"Oh? This can be rejected, right? I don't want to do this troublesome matter."
"I know and me too. As long as there is a mission that can be rejected, I will reject it," said Odin while grinned.
"Hey! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and reject it!" said Kai impatiently.
"Tsk, just calm down. I will chose [Reject]!" he said again while pressing one of the button on the [System] screen.
Odin thought that he had made the right choice to not put him in trouble with more fucking missions. But suddenly a [System] notification came back, along with the [System] screen appearing.
[Request error]
Odin frowned in annoyed and press the button again while said, "Reject!"
[Request error]
But again the [System] seems still getting an error, so he is repeating his action while shouting, "Reject!"
[Request error]
"Reject! Reject! Reject! Reject!"
[Request error]
[Request error]
[Detecting abnormal commands]
The [System] notification made Odin uneasy. The feeling of this situation seemed familiar to him, just like when he became trapped in this human body due to the troubled [System].
"Not again," Odin muttered in despair.
Right now, the thing Odin was regretting the most was his decision to trust Brunhilde.
"Huh? W-What's going on now? What the fuck are you doing?!" Kai said in a panic.
"Please, don't ask me anything else now ..."
[Request blocked]
"... my head feels like burnt out right now," said Odin in desperate.
[Turn on auto mode]
DING!
[Daily Missions Activated!]
[Congratulations! You have activated the daily mission feature! Do your best to complete all daily quests to improve your body's performance!]
His right eye twitched. Now, Odin really could no longer hold his temper.
"I'm really done with this fucking [System]!" Odin shouted while cursing.
