Chapter 292 - Chapter 292 The Threat Still Exists, Doesn't It?

With many beloved Familia, this sort of thing naturally happens.

Once you promise one, the rest immediately want the same.

Just like right now.

After helplessly granting the Yayoi Sisters each a request, Rosen had to agree to the other girls' wish demands as well.

Later, when Yotsuya Miko and Sakurajima Mai returned from school, Rosen naturally couldn't refuse them either.

After all, as a main god, one must never play favorites among Familia.

What they'd wish for, however, wasn't something Rosen dwelt on.

He knew his Familia girls had different personalities—some steady and mature, some quirky, even a bit willful—but none would make a wish that troubled him.

Rosen thought.

Their wishes were probably things they most wanted to do but currently couldn't or found impossible.

With that, Rosen took out his phone, opened the chat group and @ed everyone.

Rosen: "Everyone, those not at home listen up: within my principles and ability I'll grant each of you one request. Before the others' wishes are fulfilled, those who haven't made a wish, hurry and think of something for me to do."

Yotsuya Miko: "???"

Yurikawa Hana: "Huh? What's going on?"

Sakurajima Mai: "...Was the account hacked?"

Suhou Yuki: "Holy crap! Don't tell me it really was hacked?!"

Kitagawa Haimu: "Is this some new scam? I've heard net fraud is everywhere lately."

Kamishiro Aie: "Exactly! And Lord Deity even asked Tokiya-onee-san to help earlier—this can't be the real one!"

Yozora Hozuki: "Looks like we need to send a vengeful ghost to teach the hacker a lesson."

Yozora Hozuki: "Yuki-nee, can you trace the hacker's address?"

Suhou Yuki: "Leave it to me—every one of Lord Deity's social accounts is locked in my vault!"

Kato Megumi: "I just learned something terrifying."

Rosen: "?"

Suhou Yuki: "Hehe, hacker, just you wait! I already know where you are—Tokyo Metropolis…"

Yurikawa Hana: "That address looks kinda familiar…"

Kato Megumi: "Any chance that's our house?"

Suhou Yuki: "???"

Rosen: "Why would you think I'm the hacker?"

Yozora Hozuki: "Because Lord Deity suddenly popped up saying he'll grant each of us one wish."

Rosen: "What's wrong with that?"

Yurikawa Hana: "Lord Deity's never been that generous before…"

[Group: member Yurikawa Hana recalled a message.]

Rosen: "heart-hurt-cant-breathe.jpg."

Rosen: "Even though your words just stabbed me, my promise stands—no love left, whatever…"

Suhou Yuki: "Wha—wait! Clothing and Umbrella ServicesV@II Guilt%Umbrella > Lord Deity, sorry! I apologize!"

Yurikawa Hana: "Um… did I just mess up?"

Yotsuya Miko: "Drop the 'did' and the question mark. Sigh… Lord Deity treats us so well and you're still not satisfied; after school you'd better figure out how to say sorry."

Yurikawa Hana: "Th-then what should I dooooo?!!!"

Latifa: "Wh-what about making some croquettes?"

Watching the girls riot in the chat over a single line, Rosen smiled in delight.

Honjo Tokiya, seeing Rosen's grin: "You really aren't afraid of your harem catching fire, huh? Well, this stunt just inspired me—I think I can keep pushing my manga career in this world."

"Lord Deity, how do you see me?"

Rosen pondered a second, then sized up the expectant Honjo Tokiya: "Mangaka? Not necessary—eromangaka suits you perfectly."

"???"

Honjo Tokiya stared at Rosen in disbelief.

"In your heart, am I really that kind of person?!"

"Yes."

At Rosen's blunt confirmation, Honjo Tokiya slumped onto the sofa like a fish that had given up on life.

The living room was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After chatting with his adorable Familia, more than an hour had flown by.

A few emotionally charged comments popped up during that time, though not many.

Rosen also recalled the gist of the DanMachi movie "Arrow of Orion".

It told of Artemis and her Familia taking a quest to investigate ruins that sealed a Black Monsters; they fell into the beast's trap and were wiped out.

As a goddess, Artemis should have been sent back upon fatal injury, yet Andaris used a special power to capture her as an energy battery, planning to siphon the goddess's Divine Power to create the "Arrow of Orion" and annihilate every living thing and deity on the surface.

With her last strength Artemis forged an astral projection of herself to Orari for help; it found Bell and several Adventurers, fought Andaris, and in the end had the hero use the heaven-sent God-slaying Arrow to kill both her and Andaris.

Incidentally, in the movie the monster that captured Artemis was the Scorpio Incarnation—Andaris.

[Shepherd: "Moon Goddess, finished watching?"]

[Fallen Angel: "Reporting, boss! All done!"]

[Dokushima: "Ah… didn't expect the newbie to have such an experience."]

[Magic Old Man: "Not really an experience; it should be a possible future. Otherwise Artemis wouldn't still be chatting here."]

[Magic Old Man: "Of course, another possibility is that the Artemis here is a Divine Power Thought-form while the real one is sealed by that Black Monsters Andaris."]

[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "Anything but that!"]

[Avenger: "It… can't be that unlucky, right?"]

[Moon Goddess: Sorry, I was lost in thought and couldn't reply earlier.]

[Moon Goddess: "Shepherd, I don't know where the story in the anime happened, but at least I've never gone through it; my Familia is still here."]

[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "Thank goodness!"]

[Shepherd: "But the threat still exists, doesn't it?"]
