Heavenly realm. Fiona’s hometown.

There, the mother, Alfrieda, and her daughter, Fiona, were having a heated argument while the father, Unisis, could only look at them helplessly.

“So why can't you understand that jerseys are more erotic than shorts?”

"That’s heresy, Mama! There can be no eroticism without healthy exposure!"

Despite being nervous, Unisis could only ask the servant, Navi (cat ver.) for advice.

"W-what should I do with that?"

"Won't dei stop when dei get hungry?"

Unisis was seriously concerned, but Navi replied with a nonchalant tone. However, as a father, he couldn't help but be concerned.

"No, don't say that. There must be a solution......."

"---Unisis-syama, do yuu know this? This is knowledge obtained from earth (that side) but according to it, women’s dynamic visual acuity increases to 1.8 times when they are emotional.”

"Eh? What does that have to do with this?"

"And if yuu get involved in a dispute between women, there is a high probability that yuu will be the target.

If Unisis-syama were to be questioned right now by Fiona-syama or Alfrieda-sama [Papa, who do you think is right?], how would yuu answer?"

"I-I mean…  in conclusion...?"

"For both of us who are already here, what wii can do is none other than---to stay still as long as possible and wait for the storm to pass. Anyway, let's start the main story."

|■Lucorua Kingdom. Fudgy’s house|

"Fiona-syama. It's time to wake up."

Inside Fiona's bedroom in Fudgy’s residence, the observer called out to rouse the goddess who was having a hard time waking up.

"Huhe, uhehehe, ouf...♪ Even Navi too...♪ It’s alright, I’m ready to accept everyone all together---"

"It's a wake-up call with double meening."

"mm......? Ah, this is...... Good morning, Navi."

"Did yuu have a dream? Now, it's time to face reality."

Navi retorted at the same time as the goddess woke up.

"Mmmu......you woke me up quite nicely."

"Instead of that nonsense, just which of the apostles will be your real aim? Alp-kyun or Fudgy-kyun?"

“Isn’t harem ending a fair game to aim for?”

"If you want to go beyond misery that much, I’ll prepare a boat for yuu."[1]

"I wonder why. I can only see the future of myself getting stabbed."

As the goddess was having her usual exchange with her observer, there was a knock on the door and a voice called out from the other side.

"Fiona-sama, Navi, is there any problem? Uhm......the breakfast is ready."

"Ah, we will be right there. As you heard, get yourself ready you god-for-nothing."

"Yeesh~~....."

|■ Baxia Kingdom. Capital Blanc|

|■ Boggat House Mansion|

"Lamcour?"

"That [outsider], is it?"

After they assembled at Boggat’s house, Margot and Bartlett shared their information with Ron Boggat, the owner of the house.

"Because I'm the one who sent Salt and Tonic to investigate Lucorua, I’m already aware of this."

"What about him recently becoming the owner of a mine in Lucorua?"

The two people looked puzzled at Ron's words.

"Ah, it wasn’t confirmed yet before, but I've heard that he recently acquired a valuable ore mine in Lucorua."

"I've been gathering information as well. Besides, even if I’m retired, talks about big business deals still come to me."

"I see, but is there a problem with that?"

Bartlett's question came straight from his mouth.

"Lamcour is a merchant in Lucorua. However, the amount of [transaction] he’s dealing with now is too much. It's not something he can afford by himself."

"Although I'm not an expert in business, I believe the mines are closely monitored and controlled by the government.

It's enough to be a reason for war itself. Even if he is a member of 'outsider', isn't it a little too risky?"

"But it is a fact that Lamcour has acquired the mine, right? I'm sure there's some kind of agenda or purpose behind it. Which led us to the current question, what is his purpose..."

Ron, Margot and Bartlett were left deep in thought.

"But isn’t Fiona-sama currently in that Lucorua?"

"Can't we get some advice from her, like what she did for us previously?"

Margot shook her head towards Salt and Tonic’s question.

"The oracle isn’t possible without the apostle. You need either Alp or Fudgy.

Alp is busy with the farm works, and Fudgy is with Fiona-sama in Lucorua."

"But still, the ability of being able to communicate whenever and wherever is something that is way too convenient that it could make us, information brokers, cry."

"Shouldn't we try to make it so that the oracle(communication line) is always available?"

Margot pondered upon the words of Salt and Tonic.

“But Fiona-sama did say that our daily life should be the top priority."

"But I still think it's best to keep Fiona-sama in the loop. As for the rest...we’ll just have to make sure we are always ready to receive the oracle."

"Hmm. Then let’s consult this with Fiona-sama as well as how we should move. We should also talk to Alp about this.

I know you have just reached here, but Salt-kun, Tonic-kun… Would you mind heading over to their place tomorrow?"

Salt and Tonic turned to Ron and responded.

"That's our job after all."

"Then, I'll head to Alp-san's orchard. Salt, you go to Lucorua."

"I'm the one going to Lucorua? I don't mind though......any reason for that?"

"Well, I've been accused as a heretic by Fiona-sama before......"

"?? Heretic you say?"

"You were...? But I heard that Fiona-sama is the Goddess of Fruit Trees?”

Ron and Bartlett turned their gaze at Tonic while Margot lowered her head with a troubled expression.

“Something tells me that Tonic is not very well-liked by Fiona-sama. So, Salt, could you do us the favor?”

"Aah, sure. Then I'll go to Lucorua--where Fiona-sama is.”

“By the way, while we are at it, I'd like you to gather some information on Lamcour as well. However, refrain from snooping too close.”

“Roger!”

With the future direction decided, the five of them decided to send an errand to Alp and Fiona.

|■ Lucorua Kingdom. Fudgy’s house|

At that time, after finishing their meal, the four of them were relaxing as they had nothing to do in particular.

"Well, then. What are you going to do, Goddess? Do you want us to gather more information again?”

"Yes, well, I guess so. But if we move around too much, they might be alarmed...

So that’s why for just today, why don’t we just stay down inside the house?”

"If that’s what Fiona-sama says, then we’ll follow but…”

“Just what are you doing here this god-for-nothing?”

“N-no, don't expect the indoor me to do anything! On normal days I usually spend 90% on just blinking and breathing after all.”

“Sigh...I'm sure the fruit trees yuu’ve grown might be more helpful than yuu... They produce fruit, oxygen, and photosynthesize.”

“What? Are you implying that I’m lesser than a plant?”

Unable to resist anymore, Mimosa intervened in their conversation.

“I-I don't think you have to forcibly do anything? We can relax in our hometown for the first time in a long time after all.”

"That's right. Besides, to be able to spend our time leisurely and eat the fruits that Fiona-sama grew in the backyard, for us, it’s an irreplaceable precious time.”

“Y-yes, I’m sure isn’t it ♪”

“Sigh. I suppose it’s fine since Mimosa-syan and Fudgy-kyun are alright with it.”

Hence, the four of them who were in Lucorua decided to spend the day without doing any particular work.
