In the living room, arrived Astraea as she looked at her sole male familia who is busy stitching and has the piece of metal near his knee. Its already late at night so the girls are all inside their respective room and maybe sleeping soundless---except for the one who always return drunkard whenever her free time of course.
Astraea slowly seated near the sofa opposite of Agwin and although he knew she's there since his [Perception] is always active inside the [Stardust Garden]. Agwin didn't mind at all. Not until Astraea opened her lips: "Agwin-kun? What are you doing?"
Although its pretty obvious he is stitching. What he currently doing made the goddess of justice, curious as she asked.
"I don't know Kami-sama"
Eh? Astraea wore a surprise looks.
"I might need it in the near future, tailoring---rather, metal stitching" So Agwin replied. Indeed. what he's currently doing is not just normal stitching. That is why he questions the question why he's doing this in the first place.
"Well, if you want to know the basic of stitching, you can ask Lyra. She's good at it especially she always using them to create her self-made bomb"
"That pink-fox did? She's already knowledgeable and a strategist-material. But I never thought she can make bombs" Agwin thought about what would he do about that little pallum.
"None of us did not know when she's making those but hers has the biggest room amongst the girls and from one corner there did she creating her bomb. Not as deadly as Arachnia though. After all, I don't want her to destroy our home"
"Arachnia?" 'Thanatos?' Agwin questioned which remembers thereafter.
"Yeah. She's the one of the unknown force linger behind the shadow of Orario. From [Thanatos Familia], the child of the Evil God. She has the bounty on her but she'll emerge out of nowhere and retreat somewhere. She's so slick that made even the mighty Zeus Familia scratch the back of their head. Well, Zeus Familia ain't reliable to begin with, anyway"
Zeus is conscious about what was happening insidea the Orario. That, is what I assure of. Agwin thought so and continue his work while conversing with his Kami-sama.
"There's also an item maker from Hermes familia, she's quite popular so maybe she may of help to you"
"Hermes. . ." Agwin murmured.
"Yes. Asfi Al Andromeda. The newly promoted vice-captain of Hermes Familia. Well, I don't think her work is related on tailoring but. It would be best if you learned from her or two. Wanna meet her? Hermes is my friend after all, let's see if he can accept my favor"
Hermes is a god of trickery. The one who use any deceitful act in return of helping his friend. Is what according to mythology.
Realizing this, Agwin forget the idea and only shakes his head: "Its alright, Kami-sama. If I won't get this over, I'll seek Lyra instead. I don't think we should be affiliated with those fellas, and I don't like to ask any favor from any god just because its convenient" he said
Realizing his intent made Astraea remember what happened last yesterday where [Denatus] has always held. She don't have an idea. She thought the summon is all about the shadow of the Orario or something serious but who would have thought it was Hephaestus of all people would order that meeting which was accepted by the first class familia deity after Zeus and Hera.
Freya, Loki, Hermes, Hephaestus and Ganesha themselves.
She wanted to tear Hephaestus apart after noticing from Agwin's reaction until now that him and Hephaestus talk should keep in secret, but right now she doesn't have any courage to talk about it.
Should I tell him?
She asks herself. That meeting is short yet intense. If she did not leave immediately, they will pry an information out of her more than what it is.
So she directly went straight to the point as if saying: 'My Agwin is stronger than anyone, don't mess with him!'
She sigh in exhaustion. Why? When it comes to Agwin, why am I uncontrolled? She wonder. She always ask herself but she couldn't find an answer. Or maybe, he has an answer but only denying them.

Phew
In the middle of the night. I can't help but exhaled deeply. Is this relief? or exhaustion?
There are many thing that happened just only today. I help Dwight to boost his level up. Welp it's my intention to begin with so I can get his [Stride Step] without any feeling of guilt.
I need it badly. For one, so that I can come and go inside the dungeon anytime I wanted. But I won't stop finding a way to create [Mass Teleportation]. Not just me, I also want to level boost those girls. The more firepower we had, the more we can defend our familia. I don't care about others. As long as I can protect Kami-sama and the girls from any impending danger, I don't care to no one. Ahh, I count that bastard Dwight and my horse, Maiya.
Anyway. Thanks for Laventeinn memory and the two [Alter Reality] I implanted to be an occultist member of those 'unknown force' behind the shadow of Orario. I got two useful skill to snatch. [Fleeting Picturesque] and [Polymerization]
And yeah, I killed them after snatching that. Those occultist I planted might become useful in the later scenario, so----Urgh no. I will swept them. I have to. I will swept every last one of those [Evilus] out of Orario! And whomever god they belonged to.
With that promise in mind, I focus on the skill I got.
[Polymerization] the only developmental skill that can mixed two different skill who has the synergy. Unfortunately, to one who owned this, its nothing but useless. I snatched it on one of the Evilus Cult. She don't have any skill other than this one so I felt pitty and kill her without feeling anything.
[Fleeting Picturesque] on the other hand is from the unknown adventurer who love arts. He don't need such thing so I 'borrowed' it. Well he didn't mind. Good thing he forfeited his skill or else I'll kill him without hesitation.
I also tried it once on any of my current skill and its fruitfult! But I didn't combine them and leave it as is. After then, the realization struck me. What if I'll create a skill that can teleport me!? So I immediately take a quick action and concluded that the [Fleeting Picturesque] has the synergy with [Stride Past] from Dwight's arsenal. So yes, my evaluation and calculation didn't disappoint me.
Combining [Fleeting Picturesque] with [Stride Past] using [Polymerization] did I obtained the newly created skill [Space Jumper].
Yeah. Its name is crude indeed but I used it once from our living room to inside my room. I just closed my eyes and as if the drawing my room inside my head, I teleported there without delay.
But its too taxing. Because the mana---rather, they called it here, exhausted me for using [Space Jumper] more than five times during that night!
[Space Jumper] huh. . .
By this time, I never even in my wildest dream that the first skill I combine is the most fraudulent skill I can get.
I even heard Dwight's voice from the sideline: The most cheesy skill is the most fraudulent? No way!?
