Find Lynn?
Hearing the voice beside his ear, Zanis, who had been slightly impatient, instantly became alert.
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, a Palum Girl, covered in bandages and leaning on a crutch, appeared in his line of sight.
What kind of outfit is that?
After clearly seeing Lili's attire, Zanis was stunned for a moment before speaking.
"Tell me your plan, Arde."
"Please look, Lord Zanis."
Lili took out a transparent jar from her embrace.
A body with yellow and black stripes, wings on its back, a slender waist, and covered in short, fine fuzz.
Upon seeing what was contained in the jar, a look of confusion appeared on Zanis's face.
"Is this... a bee?"
"To be precise, it's Hakimi."
"Hakimi?"
"Hmm, Hakimi is a special breed of bee, with abilities far superior to ordinary bees..."
"Enough, cut to the chase."
Zanis interrupted, "Whether you call them bees or Hakimi doesn't matter; what matters is your plan."
"The method you mentioned to find Lynn, are you referring to these bees... Hakimi?"
"Yes."
Lili nodded and then took out a bottle of perfume labeled with a bee icon from her backpack.
"Lord Zanis, you may not know this, but Lynn sprays this Hakimi perfume every day."
"And according to Lili's investigation, the main ingredient of this Hakimi perfume is the honey produced by Hakimi. After spraying, it will emit the scent of Hakimi."
What nonsense.
Listening to Lili's tongue-twister-like explanation, Zanis inexplicably felt brainwashed, his mind filled with the word 'Hakimi'.
"Stop saying Hakimi, just give a simple introduction."
"Ahem~ What Lili means is, these bees can follow the scent of the perfume to find Lynn."
"I see."
Zanis now understood: "Hand over the bottle, I will count this as a merit for you."
"Wait, Lord Zanis!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to be coming to take the bottle away, Lili raised her small hand to block.
"Before we set off to catch Lynn, there is one more thing Lili needs to report to you."
"There's more?"
"Yes, through unremitting efforts, Lili finally collected top-secret intelligence about Lynn yesterday."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Lili was injured while gathering intelligence and only recently woke up and was discharged from the hospital."
"So that's why you're dressed like this."
Zanis looked thoughtfully at Lili.
Three days have passed since the War Game was set.
Having been caught off guard, Zanis naturally couldn't do nothing.
To understand the situation, he sent someone to collect intelligence on Lynn.
[Half a month ago, received blessing, current adventurer level is LV1. ]
Zanis naturally did not believe this intelligence, which was clearly problematic.
Lynn punched Gano into the air that day and even dared to cause trouble alone in the Soma Familia; he must be at least LV2.
The collected intelligence was LV1, which could only mean that the other party deliberately spread false intelligence.
But if it were Lili, the collected intelligence might be different.
Looking at the Palum Girl in front of him with bandages and a cane, Zanis's face showed a trace of curiosity.
"Tell me, what is the top-secret intelligence you collected at the cost of getting injured like this?"
"Lynn is LV2."
"Oh?"
Zanis's eyes lit up, and he straightened his back.
This was what he wanted to hear!
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes."
The corners of Lili's mouth slowly curled up.
Hooked again.
...
The Hostess of Fertility.
"Ah! It's over, meow!"
Looking at Lili in the mirror explaining Lynn's intelligence, Anya let out a miserable cry.
"Location exposed! Trump card exposed!"
"If this continues, Lynn will lose, meow!"
"Anya, be quiet."
Glancing at this noisy, stupid cat, Liu's face showed a trace of helplessness.
It is said that the onlooker sees most of the game.
Clearly standing from a God's perspective to watch the game, the other party did not notice that there was a problem with Lili.
"The Soma Familia has wasted too much time."
Cloe pointed out the key issue.
As a fellow cat-eared girl and a former assassin, Cloe was very keen on various details.
Her gaze shifted from the mirror of the Soma Familia to the right mirror belonging to the Hestia Familia.
After the War Game began, unlike the Soma Familia who stayed in place, Lynn disappeared from his original position and rushed towards the west of the ancient city.
And the western side of the ancient city ruins was exactly the starting point of the Soma Familia. Currently, all members of the Soma Familia were still there listening to Lili's 'top-secret intelligence' about Lynn.
...
Thirtieth floor of The Babel.
"Huh? Is this a coincidence?"
"No, no, no! This doesn't look like a coincidence at all, it's too obvious!"
"Haha~! Who would have thought that the Hestia Familia would plant a spy, this is really interesting!"
The laughter of the gods echoed in the hall.
If even Cloe could see it, the gods naturally could as well.
The gods who were originally betting on how long the Hestia Familia would last were now eagerly anticipating the upcoming developments.
"Betrayed, huh."
On the other side of the round table, Soma, the protagonist of this War Game, was also present.
Seeing Lili's actions, he let out an almost inaudible sigh.
But at this moment, a cold snort of dissatisfaction sounded beside him.
"Betrayed? What nonsense are you talking about."
"Lili hasn't betrayed anyone, she is saving the Soma Familia, trying to wake you up, you fool."
"..."
Soma looked at the loli goddess sitting next to him.
Hestia did not back down, looking steadfastly at this wine god.
"Soma, why do you let Zanis do as he pleases and never listen to the voices of the other children?"
"Why do such meaningless things?"
Seemingly feeling a bit impatient, Soma finally responded.
"The voices of the children intoxicated by the divine liquor... are incredibly fickle."
"Soma! You don't understand people's hearts!"
Hestia's expression became increasingly displeased.
"Just because the children are intoxicated by the divine liquor, you lose trust and expectations in them. How can there be a god as stupid as you."
"The greatest characteristic of the children of the lower world is their unpredictability. Instead of digging into the children's potential, you just wait for miracles to happen."
"Someone like you, forming a familia is just creating a tragedy! Causing unnecessary sacrifices!"
"...Even though you've only been in the lower world for a short time, you talk as if you know everything."
"Because I do know!"
Hestia recalled the intelligence that Lynn had shown her not long ago.
"Soma! Do you dare to make a bet with me!"
"Bet on whether, after this War Game ends, Lili, who is still LV1, can withstand the divine liquor!"
"She can't."
Soma replied calmly.
He had given the other party too many chances already.
Even with one more attempt, the result would not change.
"She will become intoxicated by the divine liquor, lose her senses, act disgracefully, and even fight her comrades for the divine liquor."
"Hmph! Just watch closely!"
Hestia stopped arguing with him and looked back at the mirror in the air.
"Lili is different from before!"
