n“Do you wish to have a fighting chance against that Daniel guy?” Lily asked the Half-Elf with a smile on her face.

n“Of course,” Lux replied in a heartbeat. “If there’s a way that I can defeat him, I will gladly do it.”

n“So you say, but what are you willing to pay to gain that knowledge?” Lily arched an eyebrow. “I practice the law of equivalent exchange. I also don’t accept refunds. Once you agree to my conditions, you can not break the contract that you will sign.”

nLux looked at the little red riding hood with a solemn expression on his face.

nEriol and Max had talked to him telepathically, and both informed him that the three individuals in front of him were actually Gods who had decided to offer their help to him, but not for free.

n“Then, what must I do?” Lux asked. “As long as it doesn’t fall below my bottom line, I am willing to pay any price.”

nLily pondered a bit before walking around Lux in circles.

nShe eyed the Half-Elf from head to toe as if she were some kind of connoisseur checking the quality of the products that were on display in the store.

n“The one who will decide the price for the knowledge you wish to obtain will not be me,” Lily stated. “It’s someone who has been treated unjustly by another God, who at this moment is doing his best to survive in a world despite the limitations placed on his body. ꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs, ᴘʟᴀs ᴠsᴛ Nov(l)ꜰre .t

n“His end game goal is to fight against Fate, as well as give his Father a beating he will never forget.

n“Us Gods are paying close attention to this individual, and some of us are actively rooting for him from within the Temple of the Ten Thousand Gods. You are going to meet with this person, and he will decide whether he will help you or not.”

nLux nodded his head in understanding. “I want to meet this person.”

nLily smiled and nodded her head. “Wait here for a bit. I will ask my friends to help you. Cupid, you can stay here for a while. How about you, Dim Dim? Do you want to stay here and play?”

n“Dim~ Dim~” the Dim Sum God nodded its head.

nIt had taken a liking to Eiko because she was like a kindred spirit to it.

nWhat Dim Dim didn’t know was that Eiko had also taken a liking to the Dim Sum God but in a different kind of way.

n“I’ll leave Dim Dim in your care then,” the Loli Goddess, Lily, handed the Dim Sum God to Lux before opening a portal beside her. “I’ll come back as soon as I can.”

nThe moment Lily left, Lux asked Eiko to take care of the Dim Sum God, whom the latter accepted with a big smile on her face.

nDim Dim was also very happy because it thought that it was going to play with the cute Baby Slime, who started licking its body, making Dim Sum God giggle.

nThe Half-Elf smiled after seeing that Eiko seemed to be very fond of Dim Dim, but for some reason, he felt that the Dim Sum God was in danger.

n‘Must just be my imagination,’ Lux thought before leaving the room to look for his lovers.

nHe had to inform them that he would be leaving Elysium for a while in order to meet with someone who would be able to help him fight against Daniel, who was able to wield the power of an Outer God whenever he wanted.

n———————————

nFive hours later, Lily returned.

nHowever, this time, she wasn’t alone.

nStanding beside her were two very cute little girls with pink hair, who were busy munching on gummy bears.

nLily glanced at the surroundings and sighed in relief when she noticed that Dim Dim wasn’t around.

nThe two girls beside her were gluttons, so Dim Dim was very scared of them.

nLux blinked once then twice as he looked at the two little girls whom he had met not long ago.

nThey were none other than Maple and Cinnamon, who just celebrated their birthdays.

nHe and Aurora were present at their birthday party because James took them back to his home world to stay for a few days.

n“Hello, Maple, Cinnamon,” Lux said with a smile. “How is your mother, Chiffon? And your father, William?”

n“Mama is good,” Maple replied. “She’s currently eating Papa’s hotdog. At least, that is what she told us before she and Papa locked themselves inside their room.”

n“Cinnamon wants to eat a hotdog too! But Mama said I’m still too young for it,” Cinnamon pouted. “It’s not fair!”

n“Right?” Maple nodded. “Neh~ Big Brother. Can we eat your hotdog?”

nLux and Lily almost coughed out blood after hearing what the two girls had to say.

nBoth of them even cursed their parents in their hearts for being bad influences on the two girls who just turned nine years old this year.

n“B-Both of you are still young to eat hotdogs, so why don’t you wait until you are a bit older?” Lux replied. “Or better yet, why don’t you eat something else for the time being? There are many more delicious foods than hotdogs.”

n“But Mama always says that Papa’s hotdog is delicious,” Cinnamon countered.

n“That’s right!” Cinnamon commented. “She even said that no matter how many times she eats it, it doesn’t run out of stock. Isn’t that like eating in an all-you-can-eat buffet? Oh… I forgot. We are banned from going to buffets.”

n“Yes. Cinnamon finds this very vexing as well,” Cinnamon replied. “How can they call it a buffet when we are not allowed to eat there?”

nLux coughed and glanced at Lily, who was also looking back at him. The two then nodded at the same time and came to an agreement.

nBoth of them decided to have a nice long talk with Maple’s and Cinnamon’s parents and tell them to be more careful when it came to teaching their children about things that they shouldn’t know until they were older.

n“Maple, Cinnamon, you don’t have to worry about eating hotdogs right now,” Lily stated. “I will buy you a lot of them later, okay? But first, this Big Brother needs your help.”

n“Okay,” Maple nodded. “We’re going to visit that Big Brother, right?”

n“I like that Big Brother. He’s very nice to Cinnamon,” Cinnamon replied.

nLily smiled. “I won’t be coming with you this time because that world’s God is very strict. However, as long as you don’t do anything out of place, you’ll be safe… maybe.”

nLux felt that Lily’s words were ominous, but since he didn’t have a choice in the matter, he just nodded his head and gritted his teeth.

nMaple and Cinnamon held each other’s hands before moving their free hand in a circular motion.

nA moment later, a red portal appeared in front of them, which was emitting an oppressive aura.

n“Let’s go, Big Brother,” Maple said. “Make sure to follow us closely. If you don’t, you might get lost in time and space.”

n“Follow us closely, okay?” Cinnamon warned again before walking toward the red portal with her twin.

nThe Half-Elf took a deep breath before he, too, entered the portal with the two little girls, who had the power to travel to different worlds, in search of their own special someone who would love them just as much as their Papa loved their Mama.
