…..

They both reach the guild and enter the building to see a familiar figure of a short brown-haired woman on her desk.

Eina came back 5 days ago. The reason she went back home was because of some personal reasons.

As for Rose Fannett the red-haired milf, she attends to different desks on different shifts.

They exchanged the materials and went back as they separated on the way.

Yuno before going back to church stops by the hostess of fertility.

After the first day, the grey-haired waitress prepared lunch for him.

Since then she begins to prepare lunch every single day.

Whenever he tries to ask why she does that, she runs away with a red face.

He reaches the pub but Syr is busy at this time, so he approaches Chloe Rollo, the black-hair cat girl.

"Can you please give it to syr?" He said this as he passed the box.

Seeing him, playfulness flashed in her eyes as she said "Nayaa ~~ what is this?? Are you not going to give this to Syria by your hands??"

"She is busy right now," yuno said while looking in her direction.

"Nayaa~~ if she is busy, how about accompanying me?? I can also provide some special services which she can't provide" Chloe said in a rather sexy tone while gently putting her hand on his hand.

"Say~ what to do yo-ouch! ouch! ouch!"  When she says something Mia the owner of the pub comes from behind with terrifying eyes and grabs Chloe's head with her big hand and presses it.

"If you have a lot of free time, why not go and do some work," Mia said in a commanding tone as she released her head.

Chloe saw her chance to run but before running, she gave yuno a deep look before leaving.

"Sorry kiddo don't take her words to heart, she just likes to tease younger boys," Mia said as she turned her head toward yuno.

Yuno showed a confused face since he wasn't able to understand any of this.

"By the way kiddo how are you? I can see you are stronger than last time ``Mia commented as she noticed the boy's change compared to the previous week.

"Yes, after all, I trained a lot," Yuno said with a prideful tone.

"Good, but remember to rest well too," Mia replied as she patted his head.

"I promise, now I have returned bye," yuno said as he began to leave.

"Alright, be careful on the way kiddo" Mia shouted seeing him leave.

Yuno comes out of the pub, with a little surprised expression.

Because even with an advanced observation haki, he is still able to tell that even after upgrading so much, he can't beat Mia even if he puts in all the effort.

Even touching her seems impossible to him for now.

Yuno shook his head and cleared out his thoughts since it was useless to think now.

He then started to move towards the church.

He reaches Church to find Hestia sitting on the couch with a gloomy expression.

"What happened Hestia-sama??" Yuno asked this as soon as he came near Hestia.

"I visit Soma today to talk about lili," Hestia said with an angry expression as she continued "That bastard didn't listen to me at all, he only indulges himself in making wine without any care for the outside world"

"Is there any other way to help lili?" Yuno asked this with some expectation.

"The-there…i-is…act-actually.."  Hestia said this with little hesitation.

"Really!?" Yuno's mood brightened hearing there is a way to help lili.

"But it's impossible," Hestia replied while shaking her head.

"At least tell me please," yuno asked with a plea tone.

Hestia looked at him for a while as she finally realised a tired sign and speaks "War game"

Yuno showed a little confused expression upon hearing that, even heard about war games in his previous life, but he didn't specifically know what it was.

"Looking at your expression, I guess you don't know about war games, so I will explain it to you," Hestia said this to make yuno sit behind her.

As she explained "A War Game is a battle between familiar with set rules. The Gods and Goddesses use their familia members to express their will, similar to a proxy war"

"A special Denatus is held to set rules and decide on what type the War Game will be along with what the winner would receive" 

"The God or Goddess that loses in a War Game must obey the terms set during the Denatus without question. Types of War Game include Single Combat, Siege, and various others".

"Do you understand?" After explaining, Hestia asked yuno while looking at him.

"Hmm. I think I understand but what is denatus?" Yuno asked this as he didn't know what that meant.

Hestia replied "The Denatus is a meeting of the Gods held once every three months. Many things are discussed and aliases are given to adventurers that level up."

"What level is the highest adventurer in soma familia?" Yuno asked if he remembers that their god never updates their status.

"Hmm…..Probably level 2" Hestia said while trying to think.

"I think we can win," Yuno said as he knows he is already near a breakthrough.

"Are you insane!?!" Hestia exclaimed loudly.

"I mean it Hestia-sama, I know I can win just believe in me" yuno said with a very sincere tone

Looking at yuno, he doesn't know what to say "you..." 

*sigh*

"Fine, but only if you can make your basic value rank S" Hestia agreed with a condition

"Ok, I promised" yuno agreed quickly since he has now advanced observation haki to find monsters as soon as possible as well as advanced conqueror haki to deal with the groups.

"Good" Hestia nodded in satisfaction seeing him agree on her condition.

"By the way Hestia-sama, when will this denatus be held?" Yuno asked this as he didn't know much about these things.

Hestia think for a second as she replied "Hmm…..the next denatus will be held in 2 weeks from now"

"That's enough time I have," yuno muttered as he started thinking whether he should hunt on the upper floor in large quantities of monsters or he should go down and hunt high-level monsters.

*clap*

"Alright let's forget about these things for now, first let me update your status," Hestia said while she got on the bed.

"Fine" Meanwhile yuno woke up from his thoughts then followed her lead.

After updating his status, they both had dinner after that they slept.

...

Next day…

At Dungeon entrance….

Today yuno came alone because of the training lili is going through. She deserved a rest.

As well since lili is not present he can go deeper without any worries.

He straight up ran to the 7th floor to quickly raise his basic stats as soon as possible.

Previously, he heard in the guild that this floor is where the majority of new adventurers die every year.

Here on this floor, there is a monster called the killer ant.
