Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

At this moment, Artemis's heart wavered for the first time.

A god who is interested in the unknown.

Even Artemis was no exception to this feeling.

Perhaps, that was always the feeling Artemis had when she was in the heavens.

Longing for the 'unknown'.

A longing for love

Aphrodite, who was constantly causing trouble, was perhaps more annoyed than necessary to confront him, and that was the reason.

Am I someone who longs for 'love'?

"..."

Hearing what Lant and the others and Letsa said, Artemis slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky.

Confused yet manipulated by the emotions welling up within.

"An unchanging god... do you think it can be changed?"

Perhaps it wasn't a question, but rather Artemis's own prayer.

The words slipped from her lips—the half-elf girl answered with a broad smile.

"It can be changed, definitely!"

Lips, depicting a smile.

I squinted, bathed in the moonlight that seemed to float in the air.

This day, this moment, this instant.

Lant's words, the gentle gazes of the Familia, and the image of the 'girl' Artemis.

Unbeknownst to Artemis herself, a pure white Artemis slumbered deep within her heart.

They didn't even know what "love" meant, only that it was a vague outline, a naive and innocent longing.

"……Yeah?"

Stop looking up at the sky and slowly restore your vision.

He smiled at the kin who were still protecting Artemis.

"If you all say that... perhaps 'love' is such a wonderful and precious thing."

Seeing that smile, Lant and the others smiled back.

Some people trembled as if they were experiencing a great honor.

It's like believing that the goddess she is now will bring her happiness.

"Although I absolutely cannot ignore reality... perhaps dreams can be forgiven."

Artemis smiled again as she spoke her undisguised thoughts.

Look around at the faces of your family members, so as not to forget this day.

"...I've talked for so long, go to sleep. I've been asked to do a certain task, and I'll be touring the secret realms starting tomorrow."

Even though the Dragon Hunt has ended, the battles of the Artemis Familia continue.

This commission also involves a long-distance trip.

We must move to the edge of the continent.

"Mysterious monsters are appearing in large numbers. There are reportedly victims as well. We have begun an investigation to rule out the cause."

""yes!""

"Lady Artemis, what is our destination?"

"A hidden realm within the Great Sea of ​​Trees—the Ruins of Eleusus"

In response to Letsa's question, Artemis answered with the name of the place.

It also has a deep historical connection to itself.

She had a past connection with her own great elves, which is why she was entrusted with this task with the help of the locals.

The name is "Land of Destiny".

"This is exactly what I've been hoping for! Whether it's the labyrinth or Dragon Valley, I will conquer it!"

"Don't get too cocky, Lant."

Letsa scolded the half-elf girl for using the name of the "Three Great Secret Realms of the World" as an example, which elicited laughter. Artemis laughed as well.

Only the moon, floating in the sky, gently watches over the events of this day.

Then--.

It was all over that day.

The false moon vanished, the black calamity was vanquished, and a boy committed a "great sin"—on the day of destiny, a pillar goddess was saved.

In the beam of light that pierced the sky, the vanished goddess's soul smiled through her tears.

Those tears were a "promise" made ten thousand years later.

That was her first "love".

Parting in sorrow, believing in hope, dreaming of reunion, tears fall and return to the sky.

————Ah ah.

Deep in the heavens, looking up at the sky beyond, one can see the souls of the Fellowship, Lant and the others.

They smiled before apologizing for the unjust sins imposed upon them by their families.

He seemed happy, as if he had received a reward, and pleased with the goddess's "love".

Artemis smiled too.

Just as you said.

Love is a beautiful thing.

And so, the stubborn heart of the goddess was unlocked.

I feel very regretful, extremely regretful.

Aphrodite.

I understand what you're saying now.

Thank you----

"--Fool"

That day, at that time, I was looking up at that pillar of light.

Despite being watched by everyone, the goddess Yizhu shed tears.

The clumsy goddess, who had always wanted to teach "love" but had never been able to be honest, shed unbearable tears.

Everyone looked up and gazed upwards; everyone stopped moving.

Even the gods, who usually joke around, gazed at their brethren's last pillar of light.

The scattered fragments of light carried the goddess's final blessing across the world.

It was all over that day.

On the day of destiny, the noble goddess was lost.

A young girl alone—who has come to know love.

Short story: The Fox's Night Wedding

"...?"

Bell felt a sense of unease.

It was the dead of night. His room in the kitchen was dimly lit, the view outside the open curtains a pale white. Lying in bed, Bell felt the warmth of someone pressed against his body and the ticklish breath against his neck, so he opened his eyes.

As her vision gradually cleared, she saw a fox-human close to her body, like a married couple.

"Varied--"

"Excuse me, Lord Bell..."

The fox-girl, Haruhime, was dressed in a shirt. She removed her red kimono and sash from the floor. The softness of her body against her chest, the slightly lewd warmth emanating from her skin, made his heart race. Stared at by the girl's moist eyes, Bell forgot to scream, his body stiffening.

You seem very tired today... I'll keep you company tonight.

"...!?"

Chunji straightened her upper body and looked down at herself. Her cheeks flushed red with shyness, but the young girl now possessed a seductive, prostitute-like aura. Moonlight streaming through the gaps in the curtains moistened her neck, and her beautiful long golden hair rustled as it fell from her neck.

Slender fingers lifted her shirt. Her full, voluptuous breasts seemed about to burst forth.

Those astonishingly white skin burned into Bell's pupils, and his entire body was stared at by his scorching gaze.

"All I can do is... I can only repay your kindness with this vulgar gesture..."

With her face flushed and eyes lowered, Chun Ji also took off Bell's clothes.

With a hesitant look in its eyes, the fox narrowed its eyes and slowly pushed the immobile rabbit forward.

Soon, the girl's lips landed on the man's face, and the two shadows overlapped.

"—I had this dream…!"

"You idiot, you attacked the man of your dreams in your dream!"

A tea shop on the street. Aisha, the Amazon warrior, stares in disbelief at Haruhime, who is blushing across the table.

About an hour ago, I visited the Hearth Fire Pavilion to check on Haruhime's condition, intending to change things up by inviting her for tea. The fox-girl, with a serious expression and her head bowed, confessed to Aisha the contents of her dream from the previous night, as if she were repenting to a god. She busily shook her fox ears and tail, her whole body writhing with shame.

From the perspective of the boy ‹Bell›, the girl ‹herself› is attacked at night, and the content of the dream is like a delusion. Aisha mercilessly tells him "this lecherous fox". In contrast, Haruhime presses her head, which is like a ripe apple, down with both hands and screams "Ah~!?" as she lies on the table.

Had a dream.

A quiet, peaceful twilight dream, far, far away from here, where I have no idea where I am.

◇ ◆ ◇

It was dusk, and I was walking home.

It was surrounded by a sea of ​​wheat.

The rice stalks, laden with plump grains, swayed and rustled in the cool breeze. The rays of the setting sun bathed the scene in a golden glow, making it seem like a celestial realm from a fairy tale.

Bell was gazing casually at the surrounding scenery when he suddenly looked up at the person beside him.

She was a stunningly beautiful woman.

Her hair was gray and very long.

Although she hated the color and thought it was dirty, Belle loved it.

His eyes were always closed.

Belle finds it incredible that she can live with her eyes closed, but according to her, "even opening my eyes is tiring."

In the depths of the mountains, her jet-black dress stood out conspicuously.

This is a woman whose beauty grows on you the more you look at her.

He was holding hands with a woman, and the two of them were walking down the street.

Bell looked up at her profile as he spoke.

"Um, Auntie."
