[Vol.2] Quest 167- Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and GoodnightTwo weeks later.
Morning at Lenoa's place.
"Hey!! How's breakfast!" said Cirrus.
"Cirrus!! Ai!! Co in! We’re just having breakfast!" said Circe. "I take it Nox is still asleep?"
"Of course, we tried to wake her, but you know here." said Ai.
"Sadly, I do... Anyway, co sit and eat! "
"Are you going into the dungeon?" asked Lili. "I could be your supporter!"
"Not today. I’m taking a break from it since for the last few days I’ve been going in and out of it ragged."
"Lili, do you ever aspire to be an adventurer?" asked Ai. "I heard Cirrus taught you so stuff."
"Ah well…I’m not sure…My family isn’t the most friendly. "
"I told you if you want
to deal with them, then I’ll-"
"No! no! It’s my responsibility! I will handle it on my own!"
"Hm…you have grown up, Lili. I’m sure you’ll grow up fine," Cirrus said, patting her head. "But don’t be too afraid to ask for help."
"I know, but I can do it!!" she said with confidence.
"…Alright, I believe you."
"So Cirrus." Said Lenoa. "Did you finish all your orders?"
"I did, just today in fact."
"Ah I see, how very good! A good, hardworking nephew!" she said joyously.
‘Odd?’ Thought Lili.
After breakfast.
"Yo! Asfi!" said Cirrus.
"Hey Asfi!" said Ai.
"Good morning. What could I do for you?"
"Well, I was hoping if you could deliver so stuff for us?"
"Um…sure? What kind of stuff? "
"Just so commission I got and I need soone to do the delivery. I was hoping if you co by tomorrow?"
"Sure thing! I’ll tell Lord Hers of the commission!" She said, giving a slight bow.
"Thanks, and here for the job." Cirrus hands her a bag of Valis.
"Oh thank you! But this is a little-"
"See ya tomorrow, Asfi!" said Cirrus, leaving.
"You look really nice today, Asfi!" shouted Ai.
"…Okay?" she said, watching as Cirrus and Ai left. "Hmmm... Oh well."
Walking through the city now at peace, Cirrus felt a bit happy about this achievent.
"Your smile is so cute! It’s nice to see you smile so often now."
"Am I really? Huh? I never notice."
"Fufu it seems I rubbed off on you!" She said, with a smug face.
"I…I think I rubbed off more on you, Ai."
"What!? That’s not fucking true!"
"Uh-huh, well, we should get going to help Euphe out."
"They said they're going to be at the Entertainnt District?"
"Ah…fuck really?"
"Don’t worry! I’ll fend them off!" She said with a smirk.
"I’m sure you will."
Afternoon on one of the buildings in the Entertainnt District.
"It’s strange, isn't it, Cirrus?" said Euphe.
"What is?"
"At this ti of day, this part of the city is so dead quiet and ta that one would think it’s full of run-down businesses, but right when the sun goes down over the horizon, this place becos livelier than the whole of Orario."
"I would hope so. This part of the city basically pays for the infrastructure of the whole city."
"Yeah… and also your own Amazoness parade."
They look over the corner to see several Amazoness.
"Kyaaa!!!! Cirrus!!!"
"I want your babies!!!!"
"You don’t even have to raise them!!"
"I’ll let you have sex with
and my sister!"
They leaned back and got right back to work.
"Yeah, Amazoness genetics are a scary thing."
"Hm, they fall for anyone strong who defeats them."
"If only I was stronger." said one of the craftsn.
"Sa, I’m still a level 1…"
"Plus, we're always so busy!"
"Hm! hm!" They nod their heads in agreent.
"You know, you can just buy one of them to spend the night, right?" said Cirrus.
"We don’t want cheap experiences, Kirin!" said one of them.
"Hm! hm!"
"We want you—"
"Refreshnts!" said Ai, coming up.
"Ai-chan!!" they all said, coming to get her drinks.
"Oh? You don’t want my drinks? " said Aisha.
"Aisha!" the craftsman said, flocking to her.
"Fufu see Ai. I told you to show a bit more skin to really get the n’s attention."
"And I told you I already have Cirrus! Besides, you can’t get
to cheat on him!" She said, giving Cirrus a cool drink. "Not even when you try and... tempt
with your body." Ai looked away from Aisha a bit flustered.
"I never said anything about that. I simply suggest you share him with . I’m even fine if you join."
Ai's face blushed even more.
"N-no! I know you’ll do sothing funny! I’ve known you for 5 years! "
"And for 5 years I—" Aisha began to move her finger along Ai’s body. Her blush got even redder. "Taught you so of my techniques like—" Aisha then leans into Cirrus’s ears and mutters so stuff.
"Pfffffft!!! You taught her that!! That’s your technique!? Daaaaaam!!!"
"I-it was only instructions okay!!" Ai quickly tried to clarify. "Girl talk!! Nothing funny happened!"
Sothing did happen but she wouldn't realize this until a certain goddess ca into the picture.
"What a prude, I could have taught you more stuff. Hey Cirrus you don't mind if it's two girls right?" She looked to Cirrus with a smirk.
"Well..." Cirrus gave it so thought.
"Don't think about it!?" Ai shouted.
"Personally so long as Ai still loved
and I joined in I wouldn't mind it to much." He bobbed his head left and right.
"See!" She turned to Ai. "Perfectly fine! Love is love at the end of the day! So long as—"
"I do have to preference I would not be okay if it's another guy, I am a very selfish man who wants Ai to myself." He said boldly and in a matter of fact tone.
"Hoh~" Aisha rose an eyebrow, impressed by how bluntly Cirrus said those words.
"Mmmmm enough!!" Ai shouted, face red as a strawberry from this conversation.
"Fufu, well, the offer still stands, but let
tell you a little secret, Ai." She seductively leans into her ear and whispers. "I wouldn't mind being at the sidelines giving you instructions~??"
"C-co on! You always do this to !!" Ai said, blushing.
'Ugh!! Why is she so damn sexy and seductive!' Ai thought, her mind filled with her, Aisha, and Cirrus together. 'No! No!! He is mine and mine alone! Get out of my head stupid, sexy Aisha!' Aisha truly brought out sothing within Ai.
Aisha takes a step back, satisfied of the teasing she did.
"And I never lie to you! See you later, Cirrus! I have so girls to manage." She leaves through the rooftop.
In the 5 years since Ai had known her, she was once in another Familia, but during the 4 years of Cirrus’s disappearance, her Familia got absorbed by Ishtar and is currently now the owner of the red-light district. Effectively, Aisha is the true vice-captain of the Familia since the captain doesn’t do anything but explore the dungeon and break n. The current vice-captain is…more of a boy toy for the goddess.
Aisha is widely considered to be by the girls of the red-light districts to be their older sister. She also beca a level 3 during the war.
"Let’s hurry up and finish so we can leave Cirrus." Ai said angrily.
"Right! Right!"
Nightti at Mia’s pub.
"????????????????????????~!!"
Cirrus and Nox were playing up at the pub.
"Ay! Ay! Ay!!"
The crowd was all joining in and drinking with one another.
"Ayy!! A party!!" said Loki, with her Familia joining in.
"Oh! Cirrus is playing!" said Ais.
"Co on! Every one of you now!! ????????????????????????~!!!"
"????????????????????????~!!!!!!"
Everyone who enters the pub gets swept away by the music.
"Ay!! Ay!!" said Alise, joining in.
"Alise!! We can’t! We still have to save up for-"
"Don’t worry about it, Ryuu!!" said Cirrus. "I already paid 8 months in advance!! So enjoy the night!!"
"Co on, join in the fun!!" said Lyra.
"Co, elf!" said Kaguya.
"Mmmm….alright."
"YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!""
????????????????????????~!!!!!!
Later that night.
"Phew!!! That was so much fun!!" said Nox.
"Did you enjoy your day, Nox?" asked Ai.
"Yeah! I spent so ti in the café! He had so great servings of cake and tea!"
"And your stuff?"
"Packed up in my shadow! But Cirrus, wasn’t it kind of cruel to make this night be so fun?"
"…I like to think of it as a going-away party! But without any of them actually knowing it."
"Hmm…well I’m surprised Circe isn’t coming with us."
"She is rather attached to Lenoa," said Ai. "Which is odd because I thought she would stick with you, Cirrus?"
"Well they're both witches, plus I’m sure she knows I want to make sure everything is fine with her; she is getting up in years."
"Hahaha! Don’t let her catch you saying that! She’ll smack your head till you apologize!!" laughed Nox. "That old witch will outlive us all by how stubborn she is."
Arriving back ho, they arrived to see Astraea looking around, waiting for them.
"Lady Astraea?" said Ai.
She turns around and gives him a warm smile.
"I ca to bid you farewell. Oh, and Artemis is still unaware of your departure! You really do love making her angry. She still hasn’t decided on what your punishnt would be."
"Hahaha!! Yeah, rember when she ca back! She fired arrows at Cirrus for "Taking" her first ti for piercing the moon!!" Nox laughed.
"I rember that!! Hahahaha!!!" laughed Ai. "You were running around all of Orario trying to avoid her shots!"
"And! And she got him like 12 tis! Hahaha!! One was even in his ass!" Nox laughed even louder.
"Mmmm…"
"Oh! Oh! And the crowd of male gods all lined up to congratulate him for taking one of heaven’s three virgin goddesses!! Ahaha-hahaahahah! And then Artemis fired at them too!!!"
"Fufufu!! Ah, I rember that! What a fun day!" said Astraea, also laughing.
"Okay! Okay! No more dawdling!!" Cirrus said in an embarrassed tone of voice. "We need to get out of here before the morning. Also, I tried to explain it to her but she wouldn’t-"
"Aww is soone embarrassed," Nox said, poking his cheeks.
"Mmmm….."
"Alright, alright! That’s enough!" Ai said, holding back her laughter. "We really need to get going!"
"Alright, Cirrus, kneel down. One last update before you leave for good luck! And yes, we know you tried to explain it to her, but you have to know you took sothing that was very precious to her. Sothing she had kept well-guarded for ti immorial. She just needs so ti to really think, okay?"
"I…I understand. But what we are doing will piss her off."
"Fufu do not worry. Nothing gets her to focus and calm down better than a good ol 'hunt! "
"I’ll go check to see if we missed anything!" said Ai.
"I’ll see if everything is turned off." said Nox.
They left the room for Cirrus and Astraea.
Cirrus walks over and kneels. Astraea then pricked her finger and dropped her blood on Cirrus’s bareback, raising his status.
"Tell
Cirrus…did you dislike
when you joined my Familia? We didn't get off on the right foot."
"…Sowhat, after all, I was forced to leave the god I considered like family, going to a goddess I didn’t have a good standing with."
"Mm…."
"But…after ti of being around you, I have co to see you as a kind-hearted stepmother. You even tried to close the gap and talk with
more."
"Fufu, a stepmother huh? That’s fine by , aaand done!" She slaps a paper on his back and puts the information on it. "Here you go!"
Cirrus gets the paper and smiles.

"Just 1 level shy of reaching that coveted level 9 throne…"
"Well, now... It’s like you’re a normal adventurer, well almost. Your growth is still far faster than normal adventures, but... it is starting to slow now in comparison to your previous updates. I’m sure if you stayed in the city you could easily reach level 9."
"…I know, but there is no need to rush. After all, if I go too fast, I might run out of light for the others to follow."
"Yes… my Little Star." She hugs him one last ti. "No longer are you alone in the night sky."
