After almost 200 chapters, I'm gonna take the next week off. I'm feeling some burn out from writing.

Don't worry the bonus chapter will be posted this week. ​​

***

The date turned out to be more fun than I expected. I bought some pairs of nice clothes for Maya, took her to a maid cafe, and the market near the Stardust Garden. I wanted to take her around the entire Orario, but Maya kept urging me to return and finish my business with Astraea. So I escorted Maya back to my room.

"So, had fun or not?"

"It's impossible to not have fun with Onii-sama around. School life is boring… you should join."

Studies… Despite jumping a few grades, I hadn't finished my university course. Shiori, Saya, and Shiori hadn't finished high school. Rini and Aiko too. Lots of dropouts in the family. Nothing wrong with a normal life break after clearing the dungeon. The two hundred floors might take quite the time. Speaking of which, the girls hadn't returned yet. They're gonna have all the fun alone.

I connected to Rika through telepathy.

'Rika babe, what's going on over there?'

"Wait, Aa-chan. Not now. I can't afford to feel these tingles in a battle!"

The telepathy did make my chest a bit warm, not to the extent Rika described. Perhaps it was different for everyone.

"Call me after the battle, okay?"

"Got it!"

I ended the connection and sat down for the moment. Maya slid to my side and rested her head on my lap. I stroked her hair while telling her about the study plan.

"Attending school with Onii-sama, I'm fully on board with the idea."

"High school and university are different though."

"Don't underestimate me, Onii-sama. As a magic prodigy, I can skip however many grades I want," she declared with a broad smile.

The oujo-sama was right about that. The education worked differently in her world than ours. Wait, going to some other world for school might not be bad. Maya's world schools are more centered on magic. It's not a bad thing, but their magic system was really about calculations and whatnot. I'd surely get bored after a month or so if there wasn't some milf teacher to flaunt her ass. Experiencing other worlds might be a good trip for everyone.

Astraea didn't arrive after all this time. Maya's sluggish expression made her too cute to be disturbed. Should I call her with telepathy? Leme's authority allowed me to contact a girl with over 50 affection points. Astraea had 71, which was quite surprising.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on contacting Astraea.

'Astraea?'

"...Who is it?"

'It's me, Asahi.'

"Ah, what are you doing in my head? It's not a good place to wander around."

'I'm in my room.'

"Wait, I'm coming."

'Yes. Please, cum for me.'

"Okay."

Shaking my head at her clueless personality, I ended the connection. Moments later, she arrived at the door.

"Is she sleeping?" she whispered her question and perched on my side.

"Seems so."

Ojou-sama became so comfortable that she fell asleep.

"Asahi, I was thinking of… telling your secret to Hephaestus. She has always been my friend, supporting me before I descended to Orario. She won't tell anyone—"

"Go ahead. I don't mind."

Someone like Hephaestus wouldn't sell anyone out.

"You… trust me that much?"

"I do. You haven't done anything against me so far to betray my trust."

[—Astraea: Affection +3]

Her affection is nearing the 100 points mark. Would she confess if that happened?

"Shall we go to Hephaestus's shop?"

"Su—"

"My Lord, should I bring them here instead?" Grayfia interjected, appearing in front of me out of nowhere. "You don't need to walk that far with Astraea-sama."

"Okay."

"I'll be back soon."

And she disappeared.

Grayfia walked four steps ahead of everyone. Does she have some foresight skill?

In another minute, the party of three arrived in the room. Grayfia prepared a couch for the two guests before she nodded at me and walked away to do her chores.

Hephaestus surveyed the surroundings with wide eyes. "We came here in the blink of an eye… That maid has teleportation and storage skills."

I nodded at her statement that couldn't be any more true. "She is the best maid."

"This lad has that too," Loki commented and pointed at Maya. "Ya got another pipsqueak. How many do ya plan to bed in your life?"

"I don't know. I can't stop myself from liking good women."

"Good woman? Ya think I'm one?"

"Maybe. Who knows." I shrugged. "Don't be too noisy. She is sleeping."

Loki fell back on the couch. "Fine… I'll shut up. This couch is too good."

Hephaestus also sat down, looking at Astraea skeptically."So Astraea, any reason to bring me here? Or you just wanted to show off the new adventurers' skills."

"Yesterday, when we were at Freya's, did you sense a strange aura?"

Hephaestus crossed her legs and frowned deeply at the question. "Yes, I did sense a god's aura. You three know something about it?"

"That aura belonged to Asahi. He is a god from another world…"

Astraea explained everything about me and my family being from another world and our abilities. Loki also added whenever she felt like it to make it more believable.

Hephaestus trained her sharp eye on me. "Can you show me your aura?"

"I can," I replied.

Just letting my mana run wildly could cleanse the pill's effects.

Hephaestus's shock was real.
