Chapter 215 – Investnts?
As soon as I got ho, it was already past midnight. We spent a lot of ti drinking and having fun, and I lost track of ti.
"Hestia?" I approached Hestia's room and called out to her, but she was already asleep.
I sighed and went to my room.
I took a bath and then lay down.
When I woke up the next morning, the room was brightly lit because soone had opened the curtain. When I went to bed last night, I was sure the curtain was closed.
"Was Hestia here?"
There were no other signs.
I got up and washed my face. After that, I went downstairs and saw Hestia sitting at the table, already having breakfast. She hadn't made breakfast for .
"Good morning. Why didn't you make anything for ?"
Hestia didn't answer my question and kept eating.
Since I was sure she was upset, I decided not to talk much.
I went to the kitchen and prepared my own breakfast. Then, I sat in the living room, away from Hestia, and ate in silence. When I finished eating, Hestia ca into the living room and sat far from .
I looked at her but didn't say anything.
Hestia was ignoring .
"Well, we can talk later."
I left the mansion and headed to the library. I still hadn't delivered the third volu of Overlord and the fifth volu of Re: Zero to Elma. A few days had passed, so I could give them to her now.
Speaking of which, the cover and artwork for the latest volus must already be ready.
Bella works very fast.
Maybe the new volus have already been published, and I have no idea. It's been a while since I last visited the library.
As I approached, there was a huge line outside. In the store's display window, there was a poster showing the cover of the second volu of Overlord and the cover of the fourth volu of Re: Zero.
They were released yesterday.
The line must have been even longer yesterday, I'm sure of it.
I entered the library and went to the counter to talk to Elma. As soon as she saw , she led
to the eting room, and I took the third volu of Overlord and the fifth volu of Re: Zero out of my inventory.
When she saw the two manuscripts, her eyes lit up.
"Why didn't you tell
you were almost done writing the next volus?! You need to let
know so I can talk to Bella about the artwork!"
"You just released new volus. Don't overdo it. Hahaha," I chuckled and started talking about the illustrations. "Oh, and this ti I forgot to make the artworks to help Bella. But I don't think it's necessary. If she needs help, ask her to get in touch with ."
"Of course, I'll talk to her. Ah, Luan, aren't you in need of money?"
"Hm? Why do you ask?"
"It's just that you haven't collected your money in a long ti, and it's piling up. You have millions to spend."
"I'm not too worried about money at the mont. In the future, I plan to build or buy a bigger mansion, but for now, I don't need it. Oh, but if you want to spend so of it, I don't mind."
"What do you an?"
"I don't like making investnts or dealing with that kind of thing, so I'd like you to handle it for . I'm not sure if I'll keep writing forever, so I need a plan B."
"Investnts? Impossible! I nearly bankrupted my store; it was saved only because you helped ! I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that."
"Hmm…" I thought Elma would help
with sothing like this, but she doesn't want to.
I'll have to find soone else to take care of it.
Is there anyone I know who can handle investnts or sothing like that?

I left the library and returned to the mansion.
When I arrived, Hestia was still ignoring . I tried to talk to her, but to no avail. I let out a long sigh and went to my room. As soon as I flopped onto the bed, I opened the system.
"I wanted to save points to spend in that system shop, but wouldn't it be better to raise my stats a bit more?"
I have a little over a thousand points, enough to raise all my stats to 1,000. Maybe I'll reach Level 3 if I do this.
"Should I spend these points?"
I kept thinking about what to do for a while. I looked out the bedroom window, then back at the system interface. Then, I started distributing the points.
Several ssages began to appear.
[Your Strength is now 1,000!]
[Your Agility is now 1,000!]
[Your Endurance is now 1,000!]
[Your Magic is now 1,000!]
[Your Perception is now 1,000!]
Since I had slept with Hestia and Ishtar a few tis recently, I had earned a lot of points, so even after spending all those points, I still had over a thousand left!
I smiled, satisfied.
"But I didn't level up..." I felt a bit betrayed. I thought reaching 1,000 in all my stats would make
level up, but it didn't happen.
"Do I need to do sothing special to receive the level-up notification?"
I got up and started pacing around. I tried asking the system about it, but in the end, it didn't respond.
"Well, I guess there's nothing I can do..."
I left my room and went downstairs. As soon as Hestia saw , her eyes widened, but she quickly resud ignoring .
"This is so annoying..."
I decided to let her ignore
for now and left the mansion again.
"Should I go to the dungeon? I've grown a lot stronger—maybe it's ti to explore the dungeon a bit."
