Ying seemed to already know the answer she wanted.

【Red Flower】Alicie Rofer, an adventurer who shone brightly during the 'Seven Days of Death' struggle, and the leader of the 'Astraea Familia'.

She is also one of the most respected people by [Hurricane] Ryu Rion, and is recognized by all members of the faction as the 'idiot boss'.

Although her Grace level was only Lv.4 when she was 'sacrificed' by the Destroyer Zagnat several years ago, it was because the 'faction of the Goddess of Justice' had done many good deeds, especially standing up for ordinary people without backgrounds and saving many families.

and so……

Her name is known to everyone, not just in the lower realms, but at least within Orario.

Those who received her help will remember her and be grateful.

Those whose plans were ruined will remember her and harbor resentment.

So……

The answer "I don't know" already proves a lot.

and……

The fact that they were willing to answer the question proves a lot.

Originally, 'disdain' would have been the normal reaction of those who were unaware of the situation.

therefore……

"Ah~"

Ying let out a long sigh.

She then came to a cruel conclusion: "You are the only one... you absolutely cannot be allowed to meet Ryu now."

"Feel sorry."

The blonde girl in the white dress slowly raised her right hand, the Corruption Sword tightly gripped in her palm... the tip of the sword pointed at that 'strange person'.

"Today, I must kill you here."

As her clothes gradually turned darker...

"Let's say goodbye here, former 'commoner hero'."

******

At the same time...

The location is outside Orario, within the opera country of Melstra.

"Today, 'we' were clearly organizing such a large-scale operation, but I was the only one who didn't participate. Sigh~"

The blond-haired, golden-eyed boy, Sora, had already arrived in the capital of this country.

Right now, he's sitting alone at an outdoor table in a casual restaurant, drinking a popular beverage.

Having been away for so many days, he had already visited the headquarters of the 'Aphrodite Familia' once.

Unfortunately, the place was deserted. I heard from the neighbors that the goddess of beauty had taken her 'dolphins (pets/group members)' out to play.

As for where to go for fun... who knows?

Recently, Kong has been in frequent contact with Ying remotely, and the latter has repeatedly asked Mona to perform divination and location services.

In the end... it was completely useless.

Well... there's no way around it. Although Mona's 'Water Divination' is currently an extremely overpowered ability, the more extensive the 'existence' of an object, the wider its 'search range,' and the less 'corresponding information' it has, the harder it is to locate it.

Holding up a peach again:

Things like the 'Eye of Daedalus' have many properties... that is, many 'causal relationships', but the search range is very small (only within the 'God Tower' of the Ishtar Familia, which is the location of only one building), so it can be located very easily.

But Aphrodite...

Even if she's a bit of a nutcase, she's still a god at least.

Moreover, this goddess of beauty, who likes to wander around all the time, is no longer in the 'Land of Opera' at all.

Her retinue, also possessing 'divine grace,' was deeply entangled in karmic connections.

With these incredibly troublesome prerequisites in place, finding the right candidate from the start will naturally be extremely difficult.

Ling Shu was quite clear that if he himself... or anyone else, he could simply spread the word that Aphrodite was an incredibly ugly but incredibly intelligent goddess.

Well, then the latter will definitely appear in front of me in the shortest possible time, looking very aggressive.

But after that, figuring out how to ask her for help... will probably become quite troublesome.

Because this goddess of beauty is incredibly capricious.

Although she won't indiscriminately kill innocent people like Ishtar, she might not be willing to help you even if you have no grudge against her or have even done her a favor.

Only occasionally, on a whim, will they help out... and they'll work incredibly hard, yet they'll stubbornly insist on being arrogant.

In other words: If you offend her... sorry, you'd better get out of there.

She might go all out with her 'charm' to get revenge on you.

In short...

"Conversely, spreading the news that Aphrodite is the most beautiful woman in the world... won't work either. She'll just take it for granted and completely ignore it."

Damn, the goddess is such a hassle.

Freya: ? ? ?

Cough~

Kong rubbed his temples helplessly, thinking to himself, "If all else fails, I'll just have to ask that old god 'Uranus' for information."

"I've been out for so long and haven't found anything yet. Continuing to wander around is just a waste of time."

"How about we just teleport back and join the fun?"

He pondered to himself.

Sudden……

"what?"

A gentle female voice reached Kong's ears.

The latter subconsciously turned his head, and what appeared in his field of vision was a woman with long, light brown hair reaching her waist, wearing a gorgeous long dress... an older sister?

No, this is a god.

"The goddess Astraea?"

Based on Ling Shu's memories, and looking at the woman in front of him who was 99% similar to the 'character design' and had a quiet temperament, Kong immediately recognized her identity.

The goddess wasn't surprised by his reaction.

but……

"I never expected that even the Twin Stars would still know the name of this fallen god."

"..."

Could this older sister have a slightly cunning personality?

Well... if it were Hestia in her shabby attire, it wouldn't be a problem for her to say something like that.

But the woman in front of you... if you didn't know better, you'd think she was a princess from some royal family.

For a time...

"Did you need something from me?"

Like Sora and Ryouki, Sora generally only uses the formal "you" (formal) to address people (gods) whom he respects.

And this goddess of justice... her past actions were, to some extent, worthy of the concepts she governed.

at the moment……

"Our meeting here was purely by chance."

The goddess Astrea smiled and said, "However... indeed, it is rare to encounter one of the [Twin Stars]. If possible, I would like to issue you a private commission."

"Oh?"

Sora, who was already preparing to return home, asked with some interest, "What kind of request?"

"If it won't bother you or delay your journey, I would like to ask you to escort me to Orario."

Astraea said helplessly, "To my shame, I had already spent all my money before I came to this city a few days ago."

"Therefore, it may be impossible to pay the deposit."

"..."

Kong's lips twitched.

Seriously, do you 'gods' all hate money?

Why are all these people going out without money?

Chapter 286 May the departed rest in peace

After a brief conversation, Sora finally understood what Astraea meant by 'spending all the money'.

Well... she was once the main god of the 'strongest faction candidate', and she actually had a lot of savings. After leaving Orario in recent years, although she spent some of it, she still had a considerable amount of wealth left untouched.

Putting everything else aside, the exclusive crest of the 'Astrea Familia' is still usable.

If she needs to withdraw money, she can simply go to the guild's branch in a major city to complete the necessary procedures.

It's important to know that the Astrea Familia was destroyed, and it was Ryu's rampage that completely crippled the 'Dark Faction'.

The guild always remembered this kindness... or rather, this "merit," so the subsequent arrest warrant for Ryu was just a formality, and they didn't even freeze the assets of the Astrea Familia.

but……

Before coming to this city, the goddess of justice left most of her wealth to the remote town where she had previously lived, and helped build a stone bridge there to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the river.

He kept only the bare minimum for his travel expenses.

A few days ago, I encountered some hungry refugees and couldn't bear it, so I spent most of my travel expenses to buy food for them.
