LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 10: Arrival and Secret Battle field
Narrator POV
6 days ago, 28 heroes were summoned from another world they call Earth.
Despite having the name of the world that they came from.
This world was a completely different world than the one they lived in.
The map was different, the sky was different the culture and the ways of life were different.
Even the laws of the world differ from that of the world the 28 heroes came from.
From their perspective, it was a world similar to the games that they play on the computer.
Job, level, and other game-like systems that work as if it was not weird at all.
The geography of the world was different.
There are other races other than humans living in that world as well.
Those that can only be seen in fantasy stories like elves, dwarves, beastkin, demons, and alike were not a form of imagination but were living in the same world.
The technologies were on the level of that in the middle ages when life was simple.
Despite having this level of technology, magic compensates for the need for technological advancement that makes life convenient.
This Earth was a world filled with mystical things.
Things like magic, monsters, mysterious places, monster dungeons, and other things that can only be found in fictional stories were real.
This world believes in the goddess Gaiah.
The god of life and was the overseer of this world.
She had manifested in this world in the past to save the world from devastation.
As a result, the goddess was worshiped as the one and only God of this world.
No one knew that that was not exactly the case.
"That is why we decided to take a vacation." <Small Girl>
Said a small girl with pitch-black hair.
The girl looks like she is 8 to 10 years old.
Her long black hair extends down to her knee.
It swayed with her body as she exclaimed her complaint.
The way she talks was so sharp that it will not remind you of a young girl.
"Ahrg ok~ ok~ I get it... so how long has it been since you guys came into this world?" <Male Voice>
An annoyed voice of a male replied to the little girl.
"It has been 6 days and yet I still can find a thing to enjoy in this world." <Small Girl>
The little girl crossed her arms while pouting at the person to whom she was voicing her complaint.
"6 days huh? and you are bored already? Then why did you not return to the god’s realm and do your jobs instead?" <Male Voice>
"NO!" <Small Girl>
"Ok, ok, just for reference what are the things that you have done these past 6 days then?" <Male Voice>
The small girl placed her index finger over her lips as she tries to remember the things that she has been doing.
"Killing monsters?..." <Small Girl>
"And? Is that all?" <Male Voice>
The person replied to the young girl with a clear bored tone.
"What else did I do? Hey Ledia what are the things we've done these past 6 days." <Small Girl>
The small girl made a thinking pose.
The small girl turned around to call out to this girl named Ledia.
Ledia placed her index finger over her lips assuming a thinking pose.
The little girl looks cute and innocent while doing this pose while asking the girl named Ledia.
Ledia who was standing behind the little girl was a beautiful woman with an alluring body proportion
She was around her late teens about 17-19 years old.
She has a large breast sticking out of her bosom, despite being large its shape was beautiful.
She has long legs that only add sexiness to her appearance.
Ledia has an attractive face as well.
It was as if her body and face were crafted by the most skilled artist to look perfect.
Her hair is short and was colored black just like the little girl.
Ledia placed her index finger over her lips assuming a thinking pose like the little girl.
Unlike the little girl, Ledia looked sexy and mature as she has done the same pose.
But despite having the same pose it gave different meanings.
Her's was seductive, and the little girl looked very cute.
It was weird.
When one would look closely.
The little girl and the sexy lady have the same facial appearance,
They look very similar that one would think as if the little girl was the younger version of Ledia.
"ah, we also ate, slept, walked, and stared at nothing" <Ledia>
Ledia replied to answer the little girl.
"That is practically doing nothing." <Male Voice>
replied the man who was being complained at.
"Eh, but that is the only thing the people we summon in this world do! But they seemed to be enjoying it." <Small Girl>
"you see, those people kill those monsters to get stronger. By doing so they gain the feeling of progress and achievement. They are happy because they improve with every monster they kill, and they get stronger. Compare to you who are the gods of this world, killing monsters has no meaning for the likes of us... EUDOM." <Male Voice>
The man said while stressing his tone upon saying the little girl's name.
"Are you saying that because we're gods we won’t be able to enjoy the same thing? well, indeed, killing those bugs does not do anything for me." <Small Girl/Eudom>
Replied the small girl, Eudom.
She was trying to understand the reason why she could not enjoy the things they have done so far.
"Now that you say that. We gods do not have anything to improve. At least in terms of power and ability." <Ledia>
Ledia said following up on the words that the man has explained in realization.
"So? how did you and Themis have fun in this world then? I mean you don’t have any difference with us." <Ledia>
Said Ledia as she was trying to understand the difference between her and the man.
"Yes, that is why I limited my power to the level of the beings in this world and live the same life as they do. As you can see, I am in a human body right now too." <Male Voice>
"limit your power? Human Body?" <Ledia>
"yes, I am following the rules of this world and live like a normal human as I am right now. But well... I still visit the other Earth whenever I am bored." <Male Voice>
Said the man with a bragging tone.
"If you want to enjoy this world... Why not try to do what I did? You might find it fun later on." <Male Voice>
"I see, I think we can try that..." <Eudom>
"Just use your power to have fun. In that way, you might find a way to enjoy your lives here!" <Male Voice>
"Okay, okay I don't get it but I will try to help." <Eudom>
The little girl accepts the suggestion of the man.
"Why not ask Gaiah to replace your vessels with a mortal body? That is how I and Themis gained our human body." <Male Voice>
"Ohhh!!!, I got it." <Eudom>
The little girl turned around and a black circular portal appeared in front of her just behind the sexy older version of her.
"Ah... before you go. Here, catch!" <Male Voice>
A pair of rectangular objects flew toward the little girl and the sexy woman catching one each.
The two catch it without having any trouble and looked at the thing he tossed at them.
"What is this?" <Eudom>
"That is the thing that the people here call status cards." <Male Voice>
"hmnn, this is "that" status card huh? thanks, Origin." <Eudom>
"bye Origin, tell Themis that we say Hi~" <Ledia>
"Okay." <Male Voice>
The two girls passed through the black portals and disappeared into thin air.
In the darkroom.
The man releases all the tension on his body by letting out a huge sigh while still waving even after the portal had disappeared.
He opened the drawer of the table in front of where he was sitting and took a rectangular object that perfectly fits in his hands.
The rectangular object gave off light and placed it directly in front of his face.
The rectangular object was a smartphone.
"And... Where were we... Ah, right I'll have to pull some Gacha! I saved a lot of crystal for some USSR pull!. . fufufu fufufu" <Male Voice>
*********************************
A young lady with blonde hair was kneeling alone in front of some kind of religious altar.
A beam of light directly shines at her from the transparent window.
It was as if the light has been blessing her and created a holy vibe as she prays at the altar.
She looks frail with her slender body and pale white skin.
With her appearance and attire, you can easily describe the girl just by looking.
"A saint", is the description that would come to mind when describing the young girl.
Suddenly
A black hole that rips the space appeared behind her and two girls came out of it.
"Gaiah! we came to play! Origin said that we should come to you and ask for a mortal vessel so we could have fun living in this world." <Eudom>
The praying young lady's eyes widen and quickly silenced the two girls who suddenly appeared by putting her finger over her mouth while making a "Shiiii" sound.
She quickly cast a spell under the feet of the two girls who do not know what was happening.
"Miss Calm!" <Knight>
The door at the back suddenly opened and a young knight appeared behind it.
"I heard voices coming from here just a moment ago" <Knight>
The knight claimed with a worried expression on his face.
The blonde girl, "Calm" looked at him acting as if she has no idea what he was talking about.
"Voices?" <Calm>
She said while having a confused look on her face, it was to deceive the young knight.
He was looking around carefully observing the surroundings.
"Ah... there is no one here except miss Calm" <Knight>
"Haha, Sir Aaron you are hearing ghost now too?" <Calm>
Calm giggled at the young knight.
He was not able to perceive the presence of the two girls who were standing in the open just in front of him.
The magic that the girl cast under their feet must have caused this to happen.
Aaron's face turned pink and then red quickly.
"Sorry miss Calm" <Aaron>
Calm replied to the young knight with a chuckle.
He closed the door after realizing that he made a huge mistake.
A few moments later after Calm had confirmed that no one was listening.
She removed the magic circle under the foot of the two girls who were standing over it.
It seemed that this magic circle had hidden the two girls from getting seen or detected by the knight.
When Calm removed the magical circle, she then made another one.
This time it was larger, Calm and the other two were enveloped by the huge magical circle.
A spherical dome appeared from the side of the magical circle creating a spherical barrier around them.
The frail-looking blonde girl puts her right hand over her right hip and leaned towards the side while pointing them with her other hand.
At that moment her aura changed from a sickly person into a person full of life and vigor.
"Seriously... first Themis and Origin, and now you two appeared as well? What is the reason Gods started using this world as a destination for their vacation? You can just go to the other Earth and have fun, right?" <Calm>
"The thing is we were tired-looking over the people being transported from there to this world. So, we decided to have a vacation here.” <Eudom>
Gaiah, the God of Life and Death also known as "Calm" as the knight called her from before had repeatedly tapped the floor with her left foot.
It gave the impression of someone getting annoyed or impatient with something.
"Ah, I get it... I don't want to hear anything anymore." <Calm/Gaiah>
She waved her hands to stop their explanation knowing that it would only make her more irritated.
"Ahuh..." <Eudom>
"..." <Ledia>
The three goddesses became silent.
"You had a rough time too huh..." <Ledia>
The mature-looking goddess, Ledia suddenly said in sympathy to the goddess in front of her.
The blonde frail goddess placed her two hands over her eyes and then crumpled and kneeled on the floor and started weeping.
"Waaaaa" <Gaiah>
The two black-haired goddesses looked at each other and then toward the blonde goddess.
"Gaiah... what happened?... ah… wait a minute..." <Ledia>
Ledia said toward the goddess who was in tears.
"Is the cause of your problem this past 200 years..." <Ledia>
Then the blonde goddess cried even louder it seemed that Ledia was able to hit the mark.
"This reaction... there's no doubt, so even Gaiah is having a problem with these other worlders huh?" <Eudom>
The little girl-looking goddess “Eudom”, said after confirming the reason this goddess in front of her was crying.
"Why! this past 200 years most of the people that get transferred here has become problem child" <Gaiah>
"I see..." <Eudom & Ledia>
The two black-haired goddesses replied in unison
"They either die after being too adventurous or become the bad guys themselves. There was this one time that one of them wished for me to accompany him in his adventures. Why would I do that? Then there were several times that they started asking me to be their wife. I'm a goddess for god's sake how can I fall in love with a puny ugly man!" <Gaiah>
The goddess's cries became angry rants midway through these complains
"I was so sick of them asking me this! So, in return, I decided to reincarnate the next person who asks a similar request from me into a freaking monster. I did not expect him to become so overpowered and become the strongest being in the world." <Gaiah>
"That is unfortunate" <Ledia>
A monotone reply came from Ledia who heard the same kind of request from the souls she transfers.
The light in her eyes had disappeared.
"Then to fix this blunder I tried to make a promise with a promising hero. I agreed to become his wife if he manages to kill that monster since it did become troublesome to deal with it. That hero fell in love with another girl in this world. She was killed by the monster that I created to defeat the demon lord. He was able to defeat the demon lord but discovered that I am the one who created the monster that killed her beloved. Now the hero became the demon lord and started rampaging in the world to find me. Then a lot of heroes came and got killed instantly for being too cocky after reincarnating into this world. I know some of this is my fault but this is also because these people caused me to do such a thing too. Now it is soooooo out of hand. If only I could just kill them myself but as the manager of this world I am not allowed to interfere with their lives in any way." <Gaiah>
Gaiah walked toward her fellow goddess and placed her face in front of Eudom's face with a scary expression.
It was as if she was stressed and was about to lose her sanity.
"It's not my fault, right?! RIGHT?! SAY THAT I'M RIGHT!"
Eudom made a problematic face over Gaiah.
"yes~ yes" <Eudom>
A big smile appeared on Gaiah's face and she stepped away from Eudom while skipping happily.
Gaiah had begun ranting at the two goddesses who visited her.
"ah~ that felt good, I wanted to get all of this emotion out of me. It's unbecoming of a goddess" <Gaiah>
The goddess Gaiah says in relief.
It was true that she had it rough managing this world.
"Yes, yes, we get it so~ the bodies??" <Eudom>
Eudom asked Gaiah to get back on their original purpose.
"Ah sorry, yeah" <Gaiah>
Gaiah kneeled on the floor and placed her two hands on the floor.
She quickly got up while raising her two hands.
At the same time bodies emerged from the ground from where she placed her two hands.
It looked exactly like Eudom and Ledia's current form.
"Oh, in this world my full name is Calm Eastertale. I am also known as the church's saint. I live as a human here and no one knows I am a god. So, from here on I want you two to call me Calm as well." <Gaiah>
"Calm... Calm I got it" <Eudom>
Eudom said to the girl named Calm.
Ledia on the other hand was silent.
She was also remembering the time when she was the one in charge of transferring the souls of the people from other earth into this world.
In a way, she was also a part of the reason why Gaiah was suffering right now.
She noticed that the bodies were already prepared and so she shook her head to clear her mind.
"Oh, bide away, I can configure this body before you use it. You know how this world works right? Do you have any requests?" <Gaiah>
Ledia and Eudom contemplated the question Calm asked.
"Give me the "ninja" as my job. as for the stat don’t make it too high, my goal is to enjoy I don’t want this to be so easy. Just leave my race as a Succubus." <Ledia>
Ledia said to Calm
"OK???" <Gaiah>
Calm made a stern look toward Ledia, Ledia on the other hand smiled at calm as if nothing was wrong.
"A god wants to be a demon... How Ironic. Anyway~ How about you Eudom?" <Gaiah>
"Then give me a "magic knight" as my job I also don't want a stat that is too high. Make my race into an Imp" <Eudom>
"Kay..." <Gaiah>
Calm said and the two bodies she made glowed slightly after she snapped her fingers.
"Ah, name... should I use your God name as names for this vessel too?" <Gaiah>
"STOP, it's a rare chance so I will have to change it. Also, it seems that it would be more enjoyable to hide the fact that were Gods. Well, it's not as if they know our God names either." <Ledia>
Ledia quickly stopped Calm from placing their god names in their vessels.
"Use Stella as my name" <Ledia>
"Since Ledia's changing her name, I too shall change my name" <Eudom>
Eudom thinks of a name but she was not able to think of a name.
She looked at Ledia and asked.
"Ledia how did you come up with your name?"
"That, they say that the stars in the sky represent the dead people's souls. And since I am the god of the Soul-Cycle I have chosen the Latin translation for Stars... thus; Stella." <Ledia>
"I see..." <Eudom>
Eudom then thinks of something of the same concept of naming that Ledia used.
"Then, use Luna for mine." <Eudom>
"Do you need a family name?"
Asked Calm from the two goddesses
Ledia answered.
"Since we came into this world by falling during night time, use Nightfall." <Ledia/Stella>
"Are you fine with that Ledia... no I mean Stella?" <Gaiah>
"Hmnn Luna Nightfall and Stella Nightfall huh, since we are sister goddesses anyway, I have no problem having the same family name and also it has a nice ring to it." <Eudom/Luna>
"It's decided then so we go for, Luna Nightfall and Stella Nightfall" <Gaiah>
Eudom confirmed, looked at Calm, and nodded.
"Ok!" <Gaiah>
The two bodies made a faint glow once again.
The two goddesses turned into 2 balls of light.
Ledia turned into a purple glowing ball while Eudom turned into a red glowing ball.
Then the two balls of light went flying toward the body Calm made for them.
"Since this is like a staple for the people who transfer world, I would love to do this for the two of you too. Stella and Luna Nightfall, Welcome to the other world." <Gaiah>
Calm went toward the altar and took a stone. It was a kind of stone to check the status of a person in this world.
Both Luna and Stella checked their stats
“If you have a problem with your bodies just tell it to me.” <Gaiah>
"There we go... done!" <Gaiah>
The goddess of life said.
"Thanks...Gai... no... Calm" <Luna>
"No Problem, Luna and Stella have fun exploring the world." <Calm>
Luna shook her head when she was about to say the word "Gaiah" but she then fixed her words and said the name of the mortal in front of her.
"We'll be going now. It seems that you have a lot to do." <Luna>
Stella followed through with a goodbye.
"Wait!" <Calm>
Luna and Stella looked at Calm who seemed to have something to say to them.
"Could you do me a favor before you two go?" <Calm>
"Sure" <Luna>
"No problem~ What is it?" <Stella>
"I want you to create troubles for the heroes and reincarnations that were summoned here in this world." <Calm>
Luna and Stella took a glance at each other after hearing this request from Calm who was the caretaker of this world.
They smiled at each other.
"Gladly" <Luna>
Stella and Luna joyfully Agreed to Calm
Luna created a space portal once again to exit the room with Stella.
When Calm confirmed that the two had already left, she sighs and went back to her praying pose.
Luna and Stella appeared outside of the building and saw a church-like structure from where they came from.
They appeared in an empty alley where no one was around.
"Now then~ where should we go." <Luna>
Luna said without thinking.
"I have no idea... In the first place, where are we?" <Stella>
Stella replied to Luna since she did not have any idea of where to go either.
"As far as I know we are in the country of Riles. The city of Vestir is also known as the holy city of the south." <Luna>
Luna said in reply to Stella's question.
"Riles? If I remember it correctly it's south of the Tree of Life, right?" <Stella>
"Yeah." <Luna>
"So where should we go for now?" <Stella>
"Well... Since we promised to create some trouble for the heroes, I think we should go to Artesia." <Luna>
"Artesia?... ahhh the country where those heroes were summoned right?" <Stella>
"Yes~ Shall we go?" <Luna>
Luna was about to make another portal but Stella interrupted her.
"Wait a bit..." <Stella>
"Huh?" <Luna>
"I think it would be more fun if we traveled in the same way beings here do" <Stella>
"Ahuh... you do know that Artesia countries away up north right?" <Luna>
"We are here to have fun, right? A month of travel is not that bad. We might discover some fun things while we travel?" <Stella>
"I suppose you are right." <Luna>
Stella offered Luna to not use her power to manipulate space and teleport them to their destination.
Stella wanted to live like a normal human would after getting her mortal body.
"If that is the case... we need some food and tools for us to use in our travels." <Luna>
"Yep... well then should we look for a shop that has that, yes?" <Stella>
"No, I have a better idea." <Luna>
"better idea? what is it?" <Stella>
"I will make a portal going to the other Earth. Let's look for some tools there!" <Luna>
"huh? why there?" <Stella>
"Well... obviously... they have better camping tools there." <Luna>
"You are right... then..." <Stella>
Luna created a portal going to the other earth.
*************************
2 years had passed since then
Luna and Stella were sitting on a sofa, relaxing and doing nothing important.
"..." <Stella>
"Hey, Luna... are you forgetting something?" <Stella>
Stella asked the little girl beside her while reading a fashion magazine in her hands without even looking at her directly.
"Eh? forgetting something?" <Luna>
Luna caught Stella's question.
While reading manga in her hand she wondered for something that she might have forgotten.
"Something... Hmnn... I don’t know... can you remind me that something is? Stella-ne' 1(Big sis)" <Luna>
Stella’s expression changed from a relaxed one to a slightly unpleasant scowl.
She placed her fashion magazine on the table in front of her.
They were in a simple-looking living room.
It was quite messy from the clothes, food, and disordered things around them.
Luna was lying on the sofa while her manga was in front of her face covering the light from the ceiling.
Luna extended her hands to reach for a piece of chips from a pack of junk food.
Stella watched Luna lazily eat this making some cracking sound in her mouth
Stella let out a sigh.
"Well... I have no problem doing this a bit longer but..." <Stella>
"But?" <Luna>
"Okay let me guide you to remembering..." <Stella>
"Hmnn?" <Luna>
Stella looked up to find the words to remind Luna of what she was forgetting.
"What is the reason we're here in this world." <Stella>
"Eh? uh..." <Luna>
Luna dropped the manga from in front of her face and squinted her eyes at the light bulb directly in front of her as she was laying down on the sofa.
"To ... have fun I think?" <Luna>
"Haaaaaaaa~" <Stella>
Stella disappointedly let out a deep breath after hearing Luna's answer.
"I guess that is a little bit... true... that is our end goal. But before that, what is not our original purpose am I correct??? In the first place, why do you think we're in this world anyway?" <Stella>
"uh... to buy manga and other fun stuff...?" <Luna>
"No..." <Stella>
Stella held the bridge of her nose while keeping Luna's train of thought to what she wanted it to be.
Continued asking questions to Luna.
"Why did we buy manga in the first place." <Stella>
"... huh... was it to have fun?" <Luna>
"Wrong! think again." <Stella>
The small girl pouted at nothing to express her acknowledgment of her mistake.
She had a vague memory of the purpose.
Quickly, she thought of the correct answer.
"uh... I think it was for research???" <Luna>
"Okay, you're getting close! Research! FOR WHAT?" <Stella>
"For what isn’t that obvious? It was to research the otaku culture!" <Luna>
"Specifically, on what genre?" <Stella>
"Genre... fantasy?" <Luna>
"Hmnn~ close but still wrong." <Stella>
Luna pondered for a bit more.
It took her about 10 seconds before she answered again.
"Fantasy-Isekai?" <Luna>
"Exactly!" <Stella>
"Okay, what about Fantasy-isekai? frankly, I like the action and mystery genre more" <Luna>
"I am not asking about your preference ok?"
"Ahuh? what's your point." <Stella>
Stella's head dropped down from her disappointment.
"Hey! what's with that reaction?! Nee-san 2(big sister)" <Luna>
"Ok the last clue~ before I smash this on my cute imouto's 3(little sister) head" <Stella>
Stella rolled the magazine she was reading a while ago into a cylinder and hold it in her right hand and strike it on her open left palm.
It made a loud noise that made Luna open her eyes wide and think in panic.
Maybe it was caused by a sudden surge of adrenaline into Luna's head that she was able to think now.
"Wait, Wait, wait! give me a minute to think" <Luna>
"I will count up to 10" <Stella>
Stella once again strikes her hand with the rolled magazine.
"AH!!" <Luna>
"just in case I'll just give you one more clue before you answer." <Stella>
Luna stopped her words before they came out.
Stella instinctively knew that Luna was about to say a wrong answer again and gave her another clue to avoid being disappointed.
"It's related to CALM" <Stella>
"Calm?" <Luna>
Luna said in her mind "who's Calm".
She could not associate anyone with the name Calm at all.
"10... 9… 8" <Stella>
Stella started counting down.
As each number goes down, Stella strikes her palm with the Magazine
each strike sounded louder and louder.
It forced Luna to think about the person named "Calm"
"4… 3!" <Stella>
"AH" <Luna>
A face of a beautiful blonde girl appeared on her mind.
Luna stood up and walked toward the wall where the calendar was hanging.
Stella knew that Luna finally remembered.
"Stella..." <Luna>
"What is it LUNA?" <Stella>
"How long has it been since we stayed in this world?" <Luna>
"Ah~ it seemed that you finally remember. It's been 2 years." <Stella>
"Ahahaha~" <Luna>
"Well?" <Stella>
"I think we stayed too long..." <Luna>
"Yeah... our original plan was to buy camping gears" <Stella>
"ahhh... right..." <Luna>
Luna walked toward a door and opened it and found some dusty bags stored in it
It seemed that this bag is left untouched for a while, to be exact it was not touched for 2 years.
Luna extended her arms toward the bag and a magical circle appeared under the bag and it became good as new again.
Luna reversed the time that had passed in this item and restored them to the state they were in 2 years ago.
"Well, shall we go back to that world then?" <Luna>
Luna looked in Stella's direction.
In turn, Stella stood up from her position and stretched her body.
"Kay, I had been waiting for you to say that for a while now." <Stella>
"Ahaha sorry..." <Luna>
"don’t apologize to me, apologize to Gaiah"
"Yeah... I'll do that when I see her again." <Luna>
The two had to change clothes.
Stella changed into simple black clothes that look similar to a Victorian Lolita costume.
Her clothes were mostly black with a little bit of bright purple design on them.
Two small horns appeared from her head just above her ears.
Luna had also changed clothes and wore Japanese Miko clothes.
Her lustrous long black hair looked good with it.
her modest body and small frame just add to how perfect she looked in that costume.
At the same time, her ears transformed from the normal-looking ear into a quite pointy shape.
"I am ready" <Luna>
Luna said toward Stella who was standing right beside her.
"So am I." <Stella>
Luna opened a space portal going to the other earth after 2 years of taking it easy all this time.
With her power to manipulate time and space, they were able to come back to the place and time when they decided to go to the Earth that Gaiah manages.
They appeared in the same alley where they disappeared 2 years ago.
In this world, only an hour has passed from the time they disappeared.
To the two girls who just returned, a whole two years had passed by
It was all thanks to Luna’s power that they were able to return at this point.
"Haaa~" <Luna>
Stella saw Luna let out a large breath.
"I don't want to do this bothersome thing..." <Luna>
"Fufu but we have promised Gai- *cough* Calm that we would bother the heroes that were summoned in this world." <Stella>
"Our problem now is how to do just that" <Stella>
Stella had no idea how to make trouble for the heroes.
"I do have an idea of what to do." <Luna>
"Oh, and what is that?" <Stella>
"I would create a portal that connects a monster dungeon to some other place. In that way, monsters from a dungeon would come out of the dungeon they are bounded to. Then they would create trouble for the heroes. I am thinking of doing it inside a city or in the forest." <Luna>
"I think you should do it in the forest.?" <Stella>
"Why is that?"
"If you create a portal in a city there is a high chance that people might discover your portal and would realize what just happened and investigate it. Doing it in a forest that is far away from people makes a perfect place to keep it covert." <Stella>
"I see ... In that way people would not realize that something abnormal was in action, right?" <Luna>
"Exactly what I mean." <Stella>
"Ok now... where should we put this portal then?" <Luna>
"Won't it be nice if we place it near the 28 heroes the Empire summoned?" <Stella>
"Alright then? You mean a forest somewhere near Artesia." <Luna>
Luna created a portal for them to teleport to a place near the Empire of Artesia.
Stella stopped her once again just like 2 years ago.
"I think this is the time we should just travel normally just like what we planned a long time ago Luna." <Stella>
"huh... but Stella-nee" <Luna>
"Is there any problem?" <Stella>
"The distance from here to Artesia is about 4000 Km away you know..." <Luna>
"I know..." <Stella>
Stella replied with a smile.
"With this world's transport, it would take us for about a month to travel from here to there..." <Luna>
"Perfect" <Stella>
"Are you serious?" <Luna>
"Yes~ we have wasted our time on the other earth for quite a long time. a month of working hard is not a big deal for that." <Stella>
Luna reacted to the word “working hard” as she had been doing nothing but reading manga for the past 2 years.
"I suppose you're right. We might as well increase our level..." <Luna>
"Great! shall we go? We have all the things that we need right?" <Stella>
"Yeah it's right in here" <Luna>
Luna pointed at a simple bag pack behind her.
Stella knew that despite the bag being small and simple but in reality, it contains all the things they needed on their trip.
Luna's power to manipulate Space as the god of Spacetime makes it possible to carry a bag that is connected to another dimension.
With this, it was possible to store food and other things inside without being influenced by the flow of time.
It was like an upgraded version of a merchant's skill "Magic Bag" since it has no limit and drawbacks.
Stella and Luna travel from Riles going north toward the Empire of Artesia.
They had been traveling straight to the Empire of Artesia for 18 days and were able to reach the border of the Empire.
Stella and Luna continued to travel to a location that was closer to the location of the 28 heroes that were summoned about a month from now.
The two had arrived in a town called Altus.
Stella and Luna had registered in some guild in Riles which is a neutral country that allows all races to register.
Being an Imp and a Succubus did not hinder them to register as an adventurer.
On the way, Stella and Luna had been doing guard duties from caravans and traveling merchants as they traveled toward the Empire of Artesia
Thanks to that they were able to fight and kill monsters which made them increase their level by 10.
They were able to level up fast since they had encountered strong monsters that quickly raised their level at an extremely fast rate.
They arrived in the city nearest to the Imperial Capital.
It was the city of Altus.
They have decided to use the forest nearby for their plans to create a portal that would spawn a monster from inside a dungeon into the forest.
When they arrived.
The city had a festive vibe to it.
There were a lot of people in the City's plaza.
A lot of merchants are selling their things.
They did not know that this city is about to become a battlefield in the next few days.
"I feel bad toward the people in this city." <Stella>
Stella said to Luna.
Stella looked at the people around her and made a sad look.
Luna who was right beside her was a bit concerned about the Goddess of SoulCycle, she started talking to her.
"They would be in the center of the maelstrom of chaos in the next few days. I doubt the effect of the portal I would be making would impact them right away. They will have time to prepare and protect themselves." <Luna>
"Sure... but still I feel bad for them. It's like I have become a more wicked existence than the demon lord himself by doing this." <Stella>
"Hey Stella, it's not as if we are Gods that represent good or bad. Those things have nothing to do with us. Just think of this as divine punishment from Gaiah, she is the one who requested us to make some trouble for the heroes. If there is someone to blame, blame them." <Luna>
"If you put it that way... I do feel bad for Gaiah as well since she had suffered because of them in the past 200 years. Since she is not allowed to directly interfere with this world’s affair as its manager." <Stella>
"That is why we are doing this in her stead! Plus, if the heroes are not capable of dealing with this kind of problem there is no way they could even defeat the demon lord anyway~. You can say that we are training them and boosting them to level up!" <Luna>
"Alright..." <Stella>
"hey don’t lose heart now!" <Luna>
Stella looked at Luna and smiled.
"Okay for your sake I will use a low-level dungeon for now! We will also stay here and do something about this if all things would fall out of our hands okay? cheer up! It's unbecoming of a goddess like you!" <Luna>
"Haha, I feel that you are acting more mature than me. Even though our premise would be that I am the older sister." <Stella>
"Well having a mortal body had made me learn about this thing after all. So, cheer up now Stella-Nee" <Luna>
"Okay." <Stella>
"How about we stroll around in the city?" <Luna>
"Okay~" <Stella>
Luna and Stella acted on their own in their free time inside the town.
Stella looked at the stalls in the town plaza and roamed around the city.
Luna on the other hand randomly wandered around the city without any actual destination in mind.
It was about to get dark so Luna decided to meet up with Stella.
With her domain over space, she knew exactly where Stella was.
She was in the crowd of people in the town where merchants are selling all kinds of things from the Capital City of Artesia.
Luna looked around and found the buildings to be fascinating.
After she had read so many mangas on the other Earth, she learned how to appreciate such a sight.
She was lost in thought and before knowing it she accidentally bumped into someone.
That, someone, was not paying attention to the people in her surrounding like Luna at that time too.
"Oh, sorry I did not see you." <Female Voice>
The person who bumped into Luna immediately said sorry.
"Eh? Shrine Maiden?" <Female Voice>
After hearing this Luna looked at the girl after seeing and recognizing the clothes that she wears.
The only reason that one would be able to recognize her clothes was simple.
This girl had seen Luna's clothes before.
If that was the case it only means one thing.
It was also the purpose why Luna chose to wear these clothes as well.
Luna used her God's eyes to look into the person who just bumped into her.
It displayed all details about this girl.
"... you..." <Luna>
The little girl wearing a shrine maiden outfit spoke with the person who just bumped into her.
Luna met eyes with that person.
Luna knew that that person's "Animal instinct" skill is telling her that she had looked into her.
She looked shaken from that.
"w-w-what?" <Kazue>
Luna noticed that the girl became disturbed and lost her composure.
"Hmnn interesting..." <Luna>
Luna muttered.
When she looked at the girl's information
One of the pieces of information showed in there intrigued Luna.
That was the "God of Judgement's Favor" a title that the girl had.
Luna knew who is the God of Judgement
Luna silently pondered to herself.
"For one to gain the Favor of that God. This means that this girl is someone on her protection." <Luna>
"What?" <Kazue>
The girl name Mizusawa Kazue mustered her courage to talk to Luna.
"No nothing..." <Kazue>
When Luna looked at Kazue, She decided to not bother Luna anymore.
The little girl went past Kazue.
When she was a few meters away from Kazue.
Luna muttered into the air.
"Teasing such people might become fun after all. Now then should I hasten things up? I want to see why Themis liked this person. huhuhu ... I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform Kazue-chan"
A grim smile appeared on her face and walked into the crowd to meet St excited to stir things up after meeting someone interesting.
