Multiverse: In DanMachi, I'm the Strongest Summoner

The War Game concluded with the victory of the Hestia Familia.

The fierce clash between both factions became a hot topic among the people for days to come.

And for quite a while, Raven continued to attract attention from all corners.

As per Hestia's demands, the defeated Apollo Familia was immediately disbanded.

The main god, Apollo, said his goodbyes to his children and completed the official resignation ritual—

Then he was exiled from the city all by himself.

As for his former Familia members now without a home, some leisurely searched for a new path,

Some accepted offers from other gods and joined new Familias,

While others fell into despair and faded into obscurity. Everyone went their own way.

The War Game had a massive impact across many aspects of the city.

Even before the aftershocks had subsided, many people were still busy dealing with the aftermath.

Two days later—

In the spacious courtyard of a towering mansion...

Hestia placed her hands proudly on her hips and declared:

"Tada~!"

"How is it? Starting today, this is our new base!"

"Looks good."

Raven and Mikoto responded with admiration as they looked up at the mansion Hestia pointed to.

It was a grand three-story building, so tall it made them crane their necks to see the top.

The mansion even had a courtyard and covered walkways inside.

The entire property was surrounded by tall iron fences, with a wide front yard full of flowers, grass, and trees.

With the huge compensation they received—

Hestia commissioned the Gobuñu Familia to renovate the entire building.

Turning it into a proper Hearthfire Mansion would take about three days.

During that renovation period…

At this moment—

Northwest District, Block 7.

Miach Familia's base: Sky Blue Apothecary.

Raven arrived at the store with Mikoto, as well as Daphne and Cassandra, who had just transferred into his Familia.

The four of them entered the shop together, but there was no sign of God Miach.

"…Raven?"

Naaza, who had been busy behind the counter, blinked open her half-closed eyes.

"I brought you the Blue Phoenix Butterfly Wings you asked for."

From his storage magic space, he pulled out five pairs of glowing cyan wings.

"Lord Heavenly Demon… that's…"

Daphne, seeing storage magic for the first time, couldn't hide her astonishment.

"This is my spatial magic."

"Spatial… magic?"

Daphne was stunned.

"As you can see, it's a rare kind of magic that allows you to store anything."

Raven, as usual, gave the same vague explanation to brush aside any suspicion.

"A-Amazing…"

Cassandra nervously clung to Daphne's arm.

Being new, the two of them still didn't know much about Raven.

Their relationship—

Still felt a little stiff and awkward.

But that was fine.

Given enough time together, they'd naturally grow closer.

As the Familia's captain, Raven understood that very well.

"Thank you, Raven…"

Naaza smiled as she accepted the Blue Phoenix Butterfly materials.

Then…

She stepped up beside Raven and whispered into his ear:

"As payment…"

"I'll grant you one request—anything~"

The meaning was clear—

Instead of money, she was offering a favor in return, based on his choice.

Hearing that—

Raven's eyes opened slightly, and he could feel her fluffy tail lightly curling around him.

He immediately understood what she was implying.

That dog-like tail tickled him right in the heart.

To be honest—

He didn't really need the money anyway.

"Anything at all?"

Raven whispered back.

"Mhm…"

"But don't go overboard, okay?"

Naaza gently patted his head, like a kind older sister.

"Then… I want to mate with you."

Raven said it without hesitation.

Of course, his voice was quiet.

Mikoto, Daphne, and Cassandra couldn't hear their little exchange at all.

"M-Mate…?"

Naaza was momentarily startled, then let out a soft giggle.

Ever since he had petted her tail last time, she knew he definitely had those thoughts.

"Okay, I agree…"

"How about tonight?"

Naaza lovingly stroked his head.

Raven thought to himself.

Tonight, he didn't have anything planned.

Tomorrow…

He'd need to take his new members into the dungeon for the first time.

Just as he was about to say yes—

"PUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm here to interrupt!"

A voice like a hammer to the eardrums erupted as the shop door was kicked open.

"I'm here to collect this month's debt, Miach!"

The newcomer was a middle-aged-looking god with graying hair and beard.

Despite his age, he still had a dignified and handsome face.

Unfortunately—

The atmosphere surrounding him completely ruined that impression.

This arrogant god, grinning maliciously and exuding superiority—

Was none other than Dian Cecht.

Beside him—

Was a petite, doll-like girl with delicate features.

Airmid.

Raven recognized her at a glance.

Airmid's amethyst eyes widened in surprise.

She looked at Raven, who was intimately interacting with Naaza, in disbelief.

Naaza's expression shifted instantly—from gentle to vicious.

"Apologies, Lord Dian Cecht, but Lord Miach isn't in right now."

She replied coldly.

…
