Someone was kneeling on the ground.
"President! We were previously threatened by the Soma Familia! Please uphold justice!"
Some people were crawling on the ground.
"Mr. Baili! Mr. Baili! We have just established a chamber of commerce and were attacked! We hope you can help us find out what happened!"
Some people even offered their gold while making requests.
Now, Baili has become the object of everyone's wishes in Orario...
Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Baili raised his right hand, signaling everyone to calm down.
"I know you have all sorts of requests, but these are not my responsibility. You need to submit the relevant applications to the Adventurers' Guild, and someone will handle them."
After saying that, he led Rias and the other two away from the scene.
The surrounding crowd did not dare to stop them, but instead began to study the situation, thinking about how to submit a report to the Adventurers' Guild the next day.
On her way back to the Adventurers' Guild headquarters, Rias recalled everything that had just happened and a somewhat subtle expression appeared on her face.
"That sun god... is he really a god? I know that Baili Jun and the other party are far weaker, but that god didn't put up any resistance at all. Isn't he too weak?"
"This world is somewhat strange without gods who possess divine power."
Mai was also puzzled by this.
Because they had seen the gods.
Or perhaps, a god who stays by your side...
"If one cannot use divine power, can a god... still be considered a god?"
At this point, Asia also raised a question.
It has a somewhat philosophical flavor...
Gods can create miracles.
All of this is based on their strong foundation.
If they are no different from humans, then do gods still have the right to be worshipped?
Of course, the gods in DanMachi do have their uses.
For example, leveling up adventurers.
Only adventurers who receive divine favor can level up, become stronger, and surpass their past selves through divine intervention.
This is also the reason why the various clans of Orario developed.
Unless it's like Hestia...
No background, no ability.
From this perspective, Hestia might be another kind of life where gods descend to the mortal realm.
You have to work and earn your own money.
If business is bad, I might go hungry...
"Regardless, after Apollo is executed, the gods of this city... especially those who want to cause trouble, should behave themselves a lot, right?"
Rias thought that Hyakuri's execution attempt was a very clever move.
There's a saying: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
By eliminating and banishing Apollo and his retinue, the other gods will surely settle down.
At least for now, I won't dare to do anything reckless.
"I wonder how things are going with Miss Demeter."
Asia started a new topic. (For super exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Then let's go take a look."
Mai's gaze fell ahead.
They were not far from the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild.
Soon everyone arrived at their destination.
The Adventurers' Guild headquarters is currently bustling with activity.
Because the news of Baili's execution of Apollo spread like a virus throughout Orario.
As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and the adventurers found that their new guild leader's fire was far too intense.
It could be said that they pushed Apollo to the stake and ultimately sent him back to heaven.
However, Baili did not stay in the hall.
The much-anticipated group passed through a private passage and headed to the meeting hall at the back of the guild.
The members of the Demeter Familia rested here, explaining their recent experiences to the guild staff.
The chief goddess Demeter was among them.
She had no airs of a deity whatsoever, and was quite busy serving water and food to her members of her clan.
"Ah...! President Baili!"
"The president is back?!"
"So... everything went smoothly just now?"
"The Apollo Familia is probably mostly gone by now..."
Upon seeing Baili, the employees all stopped what they were doing.
Baili, who told them to ignore him and continue gathering intelligence, walked up to Demeter.
Demeter bowed as she set down her glass.
"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Baili..."
Demeter glanced at the family members who had returned safely.
"And also, Miss Rias, Mai, and Asia, I heard from everyone when you went out earlier that the three of you easily dealt with the floor master of the seventeenth floor. Your strength is beyond doubt. On behalf of the Demeter Familia, I would like to thank you all and hope to repay you in the future."
"No need for thanks. The Demeter Familia are very clever. They chose to hide when their route was cut off, which is how they held out until we arrived at the scene. They are very brave."
Rias also exchanged a few polite words.
Mai then walked with Asia toward the Demeter Familia and started chatting with them.
Most of the topics revolve around monster giveaways and the thread starter.
In addition, the issue of employment for production-related dependents was also mentioned.
It was basically just casual chatting.
At this moment, Demeter walked up to Baili.
"May I speak with you privately, Mr. Baili?"
"of course can."
Baili looked at Rias beside him. The red-haired girl didn't say anything, but walked directly towards Mai and Asia.
With some free time, Baili and Demeter went to the courtyard outside the conference hall.
The Adventurers' Guild occupies a large area, and the view behind it is quite nice.
Gazing at the blooming flowers in the courtyard, the goddess Demeter thanked her once more.
"Thanks to Mr. Baili, without you, Apollo's plan would have succeeded."
"I also took advantage of this incident; it was quite convenient to get rid of Apollo."
“Sending gods back to the heavens is not something that ordinary people can do, even if the gods in the mortal realm cannot use divine power.”
Demeter looked at Baili with a hint of curiosity.
Baili maintained his composure as he met the goddess's gaze.
"So Miss Demeter wants to know my identity?"
“No… Even though I’m very curious, I don’t have the intention of prying into other people’s secrets. The reason I invited you to talk to me alone is to discuss the future of the Demeter Familia and Orario.”
The conversation became serious.
Demeter continued
“My familia is a production-oriented familia and has no intention of competing with other familias in Orario. However, we have recently come up with a plan to explore the dungeons. I believe Mr. Hyakuri has heard about the reason why my familia went to the dungeons. The soil on some floors is very fertile and has been affected by the magic of monsters, which has caused the vegetation there to grow wildly even without sunlight. So... we are considering whether we can transfer a small part of the rare fertile soil in the dungeons to the surface.”
"This is an interesting plan."
"Regarding the follow-up investigation, we hope to cooperate with the Adventurers' Guild to hire combat-type Familias who can awaken as guards."
"Of course, no problem. I'll have someone arrange it. Miss Demeter, you don't need to worry about that."
"really?"
"I have no reason to lie."
Baili readily agreed, much to Demeter's delight.
She then calmed down.
"There's another thing, I don't know if Mr. Baili is aware of it, but we also regularly purchase native plants and fruits from the dungeons from adventurers. After studying their cultivation, we discovered that they have high nutritional value and other benefits. Some of them can even be made into items for adventurers to use, so the demand in Orario is very high."
Demeter added
"If possible, could you add related commissions?"
"If it's beneficial for exploring the dungeon, we'll definitely make arrangements."
"Very good……"
At this point in the conversation, Demeter crossed her arms over her chest.
"I've taken so much from Mr. Baili, so may I ask... is there anything Mr. Baili wants?"
"This deal is indeed based on our mutual benefit and assistance."
Baili laughed.
