The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 89 The Omnipotent One

The crowd parted to make way for a woman with blue hair and blue eyes, an elegant demeanor, and wearing glasses.

She looked at Hermes rolling on the ground and howling in pain, pressed one hand to her forehead, and showed a helpless expression.

"Asphie-chan, it hurts so much, ouch—"

When Hermes saw the arrival of the leader of his own clan, he did not restrain himself at all, but instead put on an even more energetic performance, and the pain in his voice sounded even more real.

"Don't embarrass yourself here."

Asphi's voice was completely flat. She saw through her god's exaggerated acting at a glance, and her face was full of disdain. "If you keep doing this, I'm leaving."

"No, I was just joking."

Seeing that his trick was completely ineffective and he could no longer continue the act, Hermes immediately sprang to his feet with a nimble somersault.

He skillfully dusted himself off, adjusted his travel hat, and his previous lifeless demeanor vanished without a trace, instantly transforming him back into the elegant and handsome god of travel.

"I'm sorry, my lord has caused you trouble."

Ignoring Hermes completely, Asphie turned to the three of them, bowed slightly, and apologized sincerely.

At the same time, her gaze swept over Lefia and Ais, and when she recognized the two as members of the Loki Familia, she gave Hermes a sharp glare without making a sound.

This troublesome god, who doesn't know where to start, actually managed to mess with Loki's Familia.

"fine."

Fen Yu shook his head, sizing up the smiling god before him who seemed completely unaffected, and asked directly, "Hermes, I haven't offended you in any way, have I? Why are you deliberately teasing me?"

Hermes is the god of travel, and his retinue travels extensively, rarely staying in one place for more than half a month.

Given Hermes's extensive intelligence network spanning the world, it's perfectly normal for him to know about the recent anomalies in the dungeon and rush back to Orario.

But why would he target me?

A hint of doubt flashed through Fen Yu's mind.

Does Hermes already know that he caused the anomalies in the dungeon? Isn't this intelligence network a bit too outrageous?

"Haha, don't be so nervous."

Hermes casually pressed down on the brim of his hat, and very familiarly put his arm around Fenyu's shoulder, laughing, "I just saw an acquaintance, came over to say hello, and made a harmless joke."

"acquaintance?"

Fen Yu frowned slightly.

He looked at Lefia and Ais beside him. Could it be that Hermes was referring to the two of them, and he was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire?

"Don't misunderstand," Hermes saw through Fenyu's guess, smiled and shook his finger, denying his guess, "You don't know me, but I know you."

"I don't remember ever seeing you before."

Fen Yu shook his head, his tone certain.

His memory wasn't so bad that he would forget having seen a god.

"Well, I actually met you a long, long time ago."

Hermes' smile remained unchanged, but his eyes held a hint of reminiscence. "You were only six or seven years old then, weren't you? I've heard some things about you."

He paused, then began to complain in an exaggerated tone.

"However, that dangerous woman didn't want me to get close to you and just chased me away. How heartless! I was actually her fan."

Lefia and Ais were completely bewildered and had no idea what they were talking about.

But Fenyu understood.

In an instant, the relaxed atmosphere around him vanished completely.

He had indeed never met Hermes.

But Hermes' words made him immediately realize that Hermes had indeed gone to see Alphia and Chardo, and had indeed seen him as a child.

This also means that Hermes knew his special nature, which prevented him from being inscribed with "Blessing".

Given Hermes's all-encompassing intelligence network, he may have secretly investigated me, and what he knows is probably much more than I expected.

"Well, it seems I said something I shouldn't have."

Hermes keenly noticed that the smile on Fenyu's face had vanished, replaced by an icy coldness.

He immediately knew when to stop, grinned, and released his grip, patting Fen Yu on the shoulder.

"I won't bother you anymore. I'm not some insensitive person. Interrupting someone's date is a serious offense. Remember to buy me a drink next time, as an apology for bumping into me."

He turned around, waved to Asphie, and before leaving, winked at Fenyu, saying meaningfully, "We should—have a lot in common."

After saying that, he pulled the helpless "omnipotent" Asphie and turned to leave.

Before being pulled away, Asifi pushed up her glasses, her blue eyes lingering curiously on Fenyu for a moment.

Anyone who could arouse such intense interest in Hermes could not be a simple character.

As the leader of the Hermes Familia, she knew this better than anyone else.

Hermes and his capable captain Asphi quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd, as if the farce had never happened.

This unexpected incident did not disrupt the three's original plans.

They first went to the Fairy Palace, a magnificent building modeled after the legend of the ancient hero Flanders.

It was a colossal structure hundreds of meters high, with its front wall almost entirely occupied by huge glass windows, and two towering clock towers on either side. Every part of the wall was carved with exquisite high relief sculptures.

The placement of many of the carvings raises questions about how the artisans managed to carve such intricate patterns at such high elevations.

Huge and solemn.

The imposing presence of the entire building can even instill a sense of awe in those who look up at it, stemming from their own insignificance.

It is one of Orario's most famous tourist attractions - the "Saint Flanders Temple".

At the gate, Lefia stepped forward and paid the male guild staff member in charge of reception with Fali coins as an entrance fee.

Since it was agreed that Lefia would make the arrangements today, Fenyu didn't insist on paying.

"Three people, thank you for your help."

"Okay—hmm? [Thousand Fairy]—and [Sword Princess], oh dear, I'm so sorry, please, please come in."

When the guild employee saw that the visitors were Lefia and Ais, he was clearly startled and his attitude instantly became extremely respectful.

The three walked over the fence and headed toward the central door among the three huge doors side by side.
