I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Therefore, those adventurers who had entered the "sage state" were like salted fish that had lost their dreams in life. They just lay on the dining table with a "salted fish" look on their faces, not moving a muscle.

Chapter 25: Soma God: I'm showing my cards

"This……"

Lily's eyes widened when she saw the "miserable condition" of those adventurers.

Especially when she found out that those adventurers became like this after eating Asuna's cookies, her face turned pale.

He quietly walked to the corner, squatted down, and put his hand into his mouth, trying to expel the drugged biscuit from his body.

It's horrible. No wonder Lord Su Mo specially asked her to make cookies. It turns out that something was added.

Afterwards, Lily, with an ugly expression on her face, walked out from the corner, and her big eyes turned into dead fish eyes.

Never mind... I'll eat it anyway... Even if I end up like them, no one will do anything weird to me...

In fact, not only Lily, but even the maids had slightly subtle expressions.

However, when they saw Aunt Mia still eating cookies nonchalantly with a kind smile on her face, they felt relieved.

"Hey, Belle, the magic you mentioned...could this be it?"

Asuna called Belle aside and whispered in her ear.

"Woo..."

The warm breath coming from her ear made Belle's pretty face blush, and her small earlobe turned pink, like soft jade, making people want to pinch it.

Fortunately, from Asuna's current perspective, she couldn't see Belle's earlobe which had turned pink. Otherwise, she might have pinched it for some unknown reason.

"No...don't know..."

Belle lowered her head slightly, her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her ruby-like eyes looked around in panic, as if she was looking for something.

Asuna also realized that the distance between herself and Belle was too ambiguous, so she stepped back awkwardly to avoid causing any trouble to Belle.

Noticing Asuna's action, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in Belle's eyes.

If possible, she really wanted to take things a step further with Asuna.

"It may be the work of the god Soma."

Belle adjusted her mood, raised her head and smiled.

"This……"

Asuna tilted her head and looked at the adventurers who were like "salted fish", not daring to look at Belle's smile.

She always felt as if she had done something and felt inexplicably guilty.

……

……

The adventurers did not lose consciousness.

They could still hear, speak and see, so when Soma, their main god, walked up the steps again and stood on a high place, even those who had entered the "sage state" still stood up straight and waited for Soma to speak.

Although from a distance these people looked crooked even when sitting, it was still much better than lying like a salted fish just now.

"In fact, I did not brew the so-called 'divine wine that can be brewed by mortals'."

God Soma said calmly.

Below, the adventurers who had drunk the fake wine also had indifferent expressions.

You go on, we'll listen, it doesn't matter if you drink fake wine.

For the next few dozen minutes, Soma God held a personal meeting to summarize himself, reflect, find solutions to many issues, etc.

The adventurers below nodded in agreement throughout.

You are right, I think it is fine, let’s do it.

Aunt Mia also organized her girls, each holding a small notebook, and asked the adventurers questions.

"Have you ever persecuted other adventurers?"

"Yes? Come, write down their clans and names."

"Have you ever done anything bad in the dungeon?"

"Yes? Come, write down their clans and names."

"Have you ever exploited or defrauded other adventurers?"

"Yes? Come, write down their clans and names."

A series of soul-searching questions like "Is there?" kept these young ladies very busy.

Because those adventurers can answer any question you ask. They will answer whatever you ask, and sometimes they will even give you some additional questions.

It's even more effective than truth serum, and he cooperated throughout the process without hiding anything.

Asuna watched and felt that it was necessary to promote this interrogation method in Orario.

Maybe, by then, the guild's purchases alone will be enough to keep the clan running.

However, Asuna felt that this was unlikely.

Because petty thefts don't require that much effort, this fun and relaxing torture method is only likely to be used when a large number of people are involved and the incident is extremely harmful.

Besides, even this simplified version of the "divine wine" is not cheap.

The speech given by Lord Soma above is actually equivalent to a process of self-examination.

After coming down, he personally "interrogated" Sonnis. With his cooperation, the god Soma quickly found out what Sonnis had done over the years.

The group stayed up all night to classify and record the crimes committed by the adventurers.

However, even after a night, they were still in the state of being "at the mercy of others".

It seems that the "drug effect" will last for a long time.

"Please don't spread this matter."

Not far from the gate of the Soma clan’s residence, Soma God rubbed his eyebrows, looking like he had a headache.

"Next, I will take those people to the victims' families one by one to apologize and ask for their forgiveness."

He spoke in a low voice.

"The situation is too serious. I will pay the corresponding compensation, expel him from the clan, and hand him over to the guild for trial..."

"Then your clan may only have two or three cats left, Lord Soma."

Aunt Mia touched her chin and said very impolitely.

During the all-night "inspection" not long ago, they obtained a lot of first-hand negative information about the clan members, which was reported to the guild.

Tsk tsk tsk, those family members are probably going to bleed heavily.

"That's better than what's going on right now, Mia."

God Soma smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Asuna. I may have to postpone my two promises to you for a while."

"It's alright, Master Soma." Asuna shook her head. "There will always be a chance for you to fulfill your promise in the future."

"Ah, there will be a chance."

God Soma nodded.

"Then I will contact Uranus first. We can get together if there is a chance."

Uranus is the main god of the Orario Guild and the original god who brought [God's Grace].

Thanks to his efforts, he successfully resisted the invasion of monsters and completed the fortress city that became the prototype of Orario.

Therefore, he is also known as the "Creator God of Orario".

Because the interests involved in the investigation were too huge to be solved by Soma God alone, he had to rely on the power of the guild.

Although Orario still has two ace clans, the main gods of those two clans are goddesses.

One is the goddess of beauty Freya, the other is the squinty-eyed, flat-chested god Loki, and I am a homebody god, so I'd better not make things uncomfortable.

"Olarie, I'm afraid we won't be able to settle down again."

Aunt Mia sighed, then waved her hand and said, "Girls! Let's go back!"

Just like that, Aunt Mia slowly walked back to the "bird's nest" ([The Mistress of Fertility]) with a group of chirping "little birds".

Asuna and Belle walked side by side towards their clan's residence.

……

……

The underground altar of the guild.

Su Mo: I'm telling the truth, I'm guilty and I need help!

Ouranos: ...

Why don't you quietly disband the clan and secretly hand over those adventurers who have committed serious crimes to me?

You just overturned the chessboard. It will be very troublesome for me to clean up, okay?

Chapter 26 Kaleidoscope

“We are back.”*2

Asuna and Belle said in unison as they opened the door.

However, the "Welcome back" that would usually come out at the first moment did not sound from inside the house.

It was so quiet as if there was no one there.

Asuna and Belle looked at each other and said:

"Could it be that you are still sleeping in?"

"Given the temperament of the Lord God above...it is very likely."

The two smiled at each other and decided to go to the bedroom to help Hestia cure her habit of staying in bed.

It would be fine if he just slept in, but he actually dragged Alyssa along with him. What if he made her develop a lazy habit?

Adventurers don't need something called "laziness".

"Huh? What is this?"

The two changed their outer clothes and passed through the living room in the middle of the house. Belle's eyes were suddenly attracted by a long tube with many patterns painted on it.

The pattern on it seemed to be just casually drawn by the maker.

There were twisted-looking flames, crude stick figures like beginners, crooked lightning, wings that looked like fat chicken wings, and other paintings that were too painful to look at.

"Could it be that Alyssa drew this?"

Asuna found it hard to believe that a child as cute as Alisa was so untalented in painting.

Maybe, this is what it means that no one is perfect?

Belle picked up the cylinder curiously and found that there was a small hole at each end of the cylinder.

She looked at the small hole curiously, and the next moment, she let out a cry of surprise.

"so beautiful!"

Her hands turned gently, and the surprise on her face gradually turned into a bright smile.

"Asuna, Asuna, look, the pattern inside is so beautiful!"

She handed over the cylinder in her hand as if she were presenting a treasure, her ruby-like eyes filled with anticipation.

"well."

Asuna touched Belle's little head and took the cylinder with a smile.

"It really is a kaleidoscope."
