Waking up the next day, Shiro was greeted with a rather cold house due to her ’actions’ yesterday. After eating the breakfast that Yin had made, which was quite tasty thanks to Shiro’s efforts as the test subject for the three weeks, the party prepared to make their way to the adventurer’s guild.

  They were also reunited with Helion and Madison who seemed severely drained from their training. When asked about what they did, the two only sighed and shook their heads.

  "What did you even do with them?" Koji asked Chelsea while glancing towards Helion and Madison.

  Taking a sip of his morning coffee, he couldn’t help but shake his head at the state of the two front liners.

  "Nothing much. I just took them around a little and had them go through a few contests of strength. If they want to become proper front liners, they need to be able to wrestle a young dragon at their level." Chelsea huffed as Koji almost dropped his coffee.

  "You what now?"

  "I had them wrestle young dragons to build up their strength. They passed just barely but I can say that they’re reliable front liners now." Chelsea replied while stretching her body.

  "Right……"

  "The hell happened to your house?" Chelsea asked while pointing towards destruction that Shiro had caused.

  "My daughter is what happened." Koji sighed and drank the rest of his coffee.

  Raising her eyebrow, Chelsea shrugged and made her way inside.

  Meanwhile, Shiro had just finished talking to her mum.

  "Take care out there. If you can’t find anyone to take you to Mount Olympus, you can always come back and we’ll take you there ourselves. We haven’t got the teleport shrine but I’m sure it shouldn’t take too long if we fly there at full speed." Mio smiled.

  "It’s ok mum, no need to go out of your way like that. I can handle it." Shiro shook her head.

  Giving her mother and father a hug, she waved to Stanley and started to walk towards the Adventurer’s Guild with the rest of the party.

  Arriving at the Adventurer’s Guild, the party was stopped by a woman who Shiro recognised as Sharis.

  "They found the other sites for your daughter’s inheritance. This map will show you where they are." Sharis smiled as Shiro raised her eyebrow.

  Taking the map, Shiro looked back at Sharis.

  "You seem to be in a rush."

  "Well there are quite a few things that I need to do. I am quite a popular merchant you know?" Sharis laughed.

  "Anyways, I’ve given you what you need, I’ll take my leave now." Sharis bowed and disappeared from her spot.

  Storing her map away, Shiro turned to Yin.

  "We’ll get the rest of your inheritance once we finish the God Trials ok?"

  "Don’t worry about it mum. It’s not like the inheritance is going anywhere." Yin smiled.

  "You never know darling. You never know."

  Entering the guild, Shiro quickly registered a request for someone to teleport them to Greece.

  Thankfully, as this was a rather large city near the front lines, there were plenty of adventurers and quite a few of them had what the party needed.

  Choosing the cheapest one, they quickly met up and made their way to the teleport shrine.

  Once they arrived at the teleport shrine, they didn’t waste any time and immediately teleported away.

  Arriving at the teleport shrine located in a newly established city after the world changed, the party separated with the adventurers after giving them their payment.

  Checking her funds that she had acc.u.mulated over the course of her adventures, Shiro couldn’t help but feel as though she’d never run out of money. Plus, the weapons and armours that they need were being made by Helion so they’re not exactly short of equipment either.

  "I’m feeling rich but we got nothing to spend it on." Shiro chuckled as the rest of the party agreed.

  "Well everything we need is being provided no? Unless we wanted some expensive food, we’ll probably not be spending a lot of money since we can make what we need. Helion with the armour, Aarim with the clothes and you with literally everything else including a house." Lyrica smiled.

  "She’s right." Aarim nodded.

  "Also, it seems like you quite like the pink turtleneck. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, it’s just that you seemed against it at the start." She raised her eyebrow.

  *Cough

  "What? It’s comfy." Shiro glanced to the side with a slightly embarrassed expression.

  "Yeah, just like the giant plush, Nibbles, that’s in your room." Aarim chuckled.

  Ignoring Aarim’s teasing about her love of cute and comfy things, Shiro made her way out of the teleport shrine.

  Currently, they were in the city of Edenia which was founded once people found the teleport shrine that was near Mount Olympus. To make it easier for foreigners to prepare for the God Trials, everything that people needed to know could be found in the city along with a few places of relaxation.

  Naturally, brothels were included as the party immediately saw one near the entrance of the teleport shrine which caused their smiles to twitch since its placement was rather obvious. But when they consider the nature of Greek Mythology, especially Zeus’ procreating habits, this wasn’t much of an anomaly anymore.

  In fact, it was a rather good tribute to the god himself as they had even carved a statue of him with his name glowing with magic just outside the establishment.

  "Let’s…… walk around that place shall we?" Shiro suggested as the party nodded their heads in agreement. After all, walking in front of a brothel which had a nude statue of Zeus was rather awkward.

  Making their way around the place, they found a café that had a rather decent view of the mountain itself.

  Taking a seat near the window, the party each ordered a few snacks before looking up some information about the trials.

  They want to know as much as possible so that they can prepare for it after all.

  While they were looking through the information available online, a woman walked up to their tablet and smiled.

  "The Branch Master has informed me of your eventual arrival. I shall assist you during your time in this city along with any questions you have for the God Trials. You may call me Lin Hua." Lin Hua smiled as Chen Yu widened his eyes and looked away while trying to hide his face.

  Seeing this, Silvia’s smile twitched and looked at Lin Hua.

  "By Branch Master, I’m assuming that it’s Nan Tian right? Since both of you are under him, perhaps you know each other." Silvia asked while pointing towards Chen Yu.

  "Yes we do. I lost my first kiss to him." Lin Hua glanced towards Chen Yu with a small blush.

  *CRACK!

  Breaking his cup by accident, Chen Yu felt his life at danger.

  "It was CPR! We had no healers at the time so I had to do emergency CPR!" Chen Yu quickly explained as Silvia narrowed her eyes.

  "Why are you so afraid of a small misunderstanding?" Silvia ’smiled’.

  "As long as nothing else happens, I’m fine. Got it? You’re my man and I won’t forgive you if you cheat." Silvia narrowed her eyes as the party couldn’t help but raise their eyebrow at her sudden declaration.

  *Whistle~

  {Damn look at her go. How bold.} Nimue chuckled.

  ’Indeed. Really making her position known huh?’


  {Tell me about it. Maybe you should do the same.}

  ’I’m not going to go up to Nan Tian and shout out you’re my man!’


  {I never said anything about Nan Tian.}

  ’. . .’


  Blocking her mind from her mana realm, Shiro started to sip her orange juice with blood rushing up to her face.

  With her pink turtleneck, she looked especially cute with the embarrassed expression.

  "So Lin Hua, what can you tell us about the God Trials?" Shiro asked as the party was being derailed by Silvia’s declaration.

  "Ah right, to get to the top of the mountain, there is only one way and that is through the Stairway of Divinity. With each step that you take, the pressure that you experience will increase. While you’re on the stairway, you will see statues of each god in the Greek Pantheon and should you want to do their trials, all you have to do is place your hand on the statue itself and insert your mana. The higher you go, the higher ranked the gods are and naturally, the rewards also increase. At the very top of the mountain are the strongest gods in the Greek Pantheon.

  "However, gods aren’t the only ones. Demi gods such as Heracles can be found as well. There are also trials of powerful monsters that can measure up to the gods as well." Lin Hua explained as Shiro nodded her head.

  "Is there a statue of Nyx? The Goddess of Night." She asked.

  "Hmm…… I’m not sure about that since she is a primordial goddess. The highest that anyone has reached was Zeus’ statue so I can’t say for sure unless you go up there yourself." Lin Hua shook her head.

  "I see." Shiro nodded her head.

  Glancing towards the Mountain in the distance, Shiro guessed that she’ll have to get to the very top in order to reach her.
