And now... and in the future, they will never have the chance to experience the 'love' they so longed for.

The gods always say: God is 'unchanging'.

But in fact, after arriving in the mortal realm, many gods were changed because of their contact with the 'children'.

This is the 'unknown' possibility brought about by 'omniscience and zero power'.

This is a paradise shared by gods and children.

and so……

"We must not let Andaris (the Scorpion of the Mysterious Realm) destroy it."

At this moment, Artemis cleared her mind of all distractions, and her gaze became incredibly firm.

She stood up, javelin in hand, and prepared to set off for the labyrinthine city of Orario in search of hope (Orion).

Hermes, who had come alone, stood at the entrance of the tent, lifted the curtain, and stepped aside, like a servant protecting a king.

He knew how heavy a burden the goddess in front of him was now.

She has been resisting Andaris's encroachment.

But this is ultimately not a long-term solution.

This has nothing to do with Artemis's own will.

Because no matter how firm her will was, she would eventually reach a point of exhaustion.

I just hope that before that happens...

"Ah~ what is that that resembles the swaying shadows of a tree~?"

"It's the voice of my heart, can you hear it~?"

……

"what?"

Artemis and Hermes exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes, and instinctively let out a soft exclamation.

At this moment, accompanied by a gentle piano melody, a melodious, bell-like singing voice entered the ears of the male and female gods.

For some reason, both of them, who were originally preoccupied, felt their mood gradually ease.

"In this military camp located on the front lines, is anyone still bringing a piano in?"

Artemis spoke up, puzzled.

"Go and see?"

Hermes was clearly intrigued. "If it's just a few minutes, I can 'delay' it a bit."

"After all, you need some nice things to relax in your current state."

That's what he said.

But...it's clear that this heartthrob was ultimately drawn to the 'unknown'.

That's just his nature; he doesn't want to miss any of the 'fun things' that happen during his trip.

So, after Artemis nodded slightly, the two gods walked together toward the direction from which the song was coming.

Not long after...

"This is the camp of Freya's clan."

Hermes and Artemis had arrived near the source of the sound.

Even now, one can still hear soft singing coming from inside.

"If it truly is something unknown and special, should I pursue the answer to it?"

"That smiling figure standing in front of me quietly brought warmth to my heart."

……

This is indeed a very nice song.

Moreover, it differs greatly from the style of music sung by many bards in this world.

It could even be considered a difference in 'schools of thought'.

Even the two deities who have existed for hundreds of millions of years, standing outside the tent, had never heard of this song.

"Is this a new artwork created by a child?"

Hermes remarked instinctively, "I never expected that there would be such a special member among Miss Freya's children."

It is indeed very special.

Because in Hermes's mind, most of the members of Freya's Familia were the kind of 'temperamental older brothers/sisters'.

Therefore, it was quite a peculiar thing that such a soothing melody could actually come from the Freya Familia's camp.

And at that very moment...

"!"

An even more mysterious and astonishing 'unknown' has appeared.

"Wishes are invisible, yet fulfilled through prayer?"

"Give me guidance, so I am no longer lost?"

……

It was precisely when the rhythm of the song and accompaniment quickened that the 'golden magic' directly entered the vision of the two gods.

This is a miracle that does not exist in the current world.

It seemed to be moved by the singing...

"Longing has a name, it's called hope~?"

"Lead me forward, help me heal my wounds~?"

……

Even though she was just standing outside the tent, Artemis, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was affected.

She definitely became much more 'relaxed'.

It was as if the hidden injuries, shackles, and curses that originally existed on his body had been weakened and removed by that 'golden magic'.

"This is not just a song."

Hermes was convinced, "This is 'magic'."

“A kind of magic that I’ve never seen before.”

At this moment, with a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, he even subconsciously fell silent.

They were afraid that even the slightest influence on their side might disrupt the singer's rhythm.

at last……

"Bathing in holy light~?"

After the short song ended, the camp seemed to fall into an atmosphere of absolute silence.

Perhaps, at this moment, he and Artemis were not the only ones who were startled by that 'golden magic'.

Even the other within...

“Mr. Hegney, please don’t keep staring at Barbara like that, it’s very impolite.”

A slightly helpless voice came from inside the tent, "And it's also very easy to cause trouble."

The 'performance' inside seems to have ended.

Hermes felt it was now necessary for him to be an 'uninvited guest'.

and so……

"Sorry to bother you... uh~"

The moment he casually lifted the curtain, ready to step inside...

"Shu~"

A flash of sword light appeared, and the silver-gray blade stopped right at the tip of his nose.

Oh no, I was almost scared to death.

Cold sweat broke out on my back.

At this moment...

Hermes?

Hedin, holding a long-handled sword, frowned and said, "And... the goddess Artemis."

What brings you two here?

When questioned, Hedin showed no intention of putting away his weapon, and his expression was unusually serious.

Now let's look at Hegny's side...

The latter was staring blankly at his uninjured right arm, as if he hadn't recognized reality.

It is obvious that just by looking at the broken cuff, one should know that the area should have been 'empty'.

but now……

"..."

It was as if a newly grown arm had already gripped the hilt of the black sword that had previously attacked Ying.

This seems to have become a conditioned reflex for Hegney.

However, when he saw that the intruders were two gods, his murderous intent immediately vanished.

But the hostility did not diminish at all.

Because he was unaware that the 'miracle' just performed by Luminous... well, strictly speaking, by the assistance summoned by Luminous using the 'Genshin Impact' magic, was not a core secret within the Familia.

If this is a matter that needs to be kept confidential...
