After breakfast, Artemis and her two Familia members, along with Hestia and Lili, all left one after another.
Soon, only Lin Feng and the girls of his Familia remained in the house.
"Captain Ai-chan... what's the deal with this red bean rice?"
Kato Megumi had already guessed the reason in her heart, but she still sat in her seat, teasing the restless Hayasaka Ai.
"This... this is because we won the War Game yesterday, so we made it."
"Right, Gako!"
Hayasaka Ai, who was now being suppressed by the usually inconspicuous Kato Megumi, completely lacked the domineering presence and coolness she had while commanding the battle in the Dungeon and the War Game.
Natsume Kousaka, although from the Demon District, had heard of the meaning of red bean rice.
Combined with Hayasaka Ai's reaction and Kato Megumi's question, she could immediately confirm what Hayasaka Ai had done last night.
She was caught red-handed but still stubbornly refused to admit it.
Seryu was completely confused by this scene. She didn't understand what other meaning red bean rice could have. Wasn't it delicious? She was even planning to ask Takemiya Gako to make it for her every day.
Tsuyuri Kanae was also oblivious to this subject. She spent most of her time training. Recently, she had even participated in the Final Selection on Mount Fujikasane. After passing, she constantly received missions to kill demons.
She had no time to learn about such things.
"I don't know."
Takemiya Gako stood there with a mysterious smile, looking at Hayasaka Ai and Kato Megumi.
"Let me speak! We now have members who have leveled up to LV2."
"Once you reach LV2, you can return to your original world. Of course, I must be the one to take you. Others cannot accompany you for the time being." Lin Feng saw Hayasaka Ai's head nearly touching the floor and Megumi still sitting next to her asking questions, so he stood up and interjected.
"Ehh! We can return to our original world?"
This immediately made everyone present forget the previous topic and focus all their attention on what Lin Feng was saying.
"Of course. If anyone wants to return to their original world first, you can tell me. Everyone will get a chance, so there's no need to fight over it."
"Also, after I take you back to your original world, you will stay there for one month, but only one day will pass here." Lin Feng explained the temporary rule for returning to their original world, so as to avoid confusion.
"Currently, Ai-chan, Gako, and Seryu have leveled up to LV2 and qualify to return to their original worlds."
Hearing Lin Feng call their names, the three of them looked up at each other. Each could see the longing in the other's eyes. They all wanted to return to their original worlds.
Hayasaka Ai wanted to go back to help Kaguya Shinomiya and prevent the Shinomiya family from bullying Kaguya anymore.
Takemiya Gako wanted to go back and find a safe place for the girls and the female teacher she stayed with.
Seryu didn't have any particular thought about returning yet, only wanting to go back and see her teacher, Ogre.
"Let them go first. I don't have anything urgent for now." Seryu was the first to step back.
She knew the goals of both Hayasaka Ai and Takemiya Gako: to save the people they cared about.
"Let Captain Ai-chan go first. Also, my world is temporarily in a paused state, so it's fine."
Sticking to the principle of "first come, first served," Takemiya Gako offered the first chance to Hayasaka Ai. This wasn't just because of the "first come, first served" principle, but also because of the red bean rice and what happened last night.
It was the perfect opportunity for them to spend time alone together.
As expected of Takemiya Gako, she thought of everything, even graciously offering the first chance for private time in another world.
"When Ai-chan and I are gone, if you plan to go to the Dungeon, let Natsuki-chan temporarily assume the role of Captain and command." Everyone present knew Natsuki-chan's strength, and her commanding ability should not be poor either.
After all, she was the instructor and attack mage of the Demon District's Special Security Force in the Strike the Blood world, with countless subordinates.
"Leave it to me! I won't let your darlings get hurt."
Natsume Kousaka crossed one leg over the other, sitting on the sofa, fanning herself with her small fan, and spoke cavalierly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the living room instantly fell silent. Almost everyone's eyes turned toward Lin Feng's position.
Among those gazes, one contained a hint of coldness and resentment. Lin Feng didn't need to guess; he could be one hundred percent certain it was Hayasaka Ai's glare.
What a little jar of vinegar.
Lin Feng wouldn't say anything right now. Everyone present mostly knew what happened last night, except for Seryu and Kanae.
"Ahem, I'll leave things here to you, Natsuki-chan."
"Gako, Megumi-chan, Kanae, Seryu, everyone, listen to Natsuki-chan. If the Guild comes looking for us, just stall them. We'll be back soon."
After confirming that everyone was fine, Lin Feng told the Little System to activate the teleportation device.
A very ordinary door slowly manifested in the void, appearing in everyone's sight. It looked just like a common household door, complete with a doorknob.
"This..."
"This possesses spatial capabilities that I cannot reach, like... the vast cosmos and a grain of sand."
Natsume Kousaka saw the sudden appearance of the door. She instantly moved to stand in front of it, nervously reaching out her small hand as if wanting to touch this seemingly ordinary door.
Only Natsume Kousaka could sense the incomprehensible presence contained within this seemingly ordinary door. The others couldn't sense anything.
They simply felt that their Lord Head God was too amazing!
"Natsuki-chan is feeling homesick too?"
"...No. I just sensed something I couldn't understand on it."
Natsume Kousaka, who was studying the door, glared at her Lord God with exasperation.
This might be a simple matter for him, a God, but for her, a Witch, this was incredibly captivating knowledge.
Otherwise, so many Witches wouldn't have succumbed to the temptation of demons.
Natsume Kousaka was one of them, becoming a Witch.
Those who master magic or sorcery are called Sorcerers or Mages.
"I see. In that case, I'll leave this world to you. Try your best not to let the Guild notice. If the Gods of Orario leave, they need to apply for permission." Lin Feng, holding Ai-chan's hand and preparing to open the door to her world, thought of the Guild issue and quickly mentioned it.
After all, they primarily lived in the city of Orario. If he, a God, was constantly caught slipping out, he could easily draw the attention of the Guild and the God behind it, Ouranos.
