Chapter 4: orario, the City, Falna of the Gods

With some knowledge, one can also estimate the approximate time, and of course, there are skills in combat, keeping three or five people from getting close.

"Alright! Let's make haste towards orario!" someone exclaimed.

"I want to create a Familia that will astonish the world!"

silva pointed unabashedly in the direction of the city of orario and declared loudly.

It is common knowledge that gods cannot descend into the dungeon, as they would be repelled by it.

"Master, there's no need to worry. With this system in place, you, as a deity, can certainly enter the dungeon. It's just that... Master, you currently lack the combat power of a deity," the system reassured.

"Cough cough! So, I have the status of a deity but not the corresponding strength?" silva questioned.

"That's right!"

"Gaining strength is simple. The most direct way is to extract a skill from a follower, and each follower can only have their skill copied once."

"So that's how it is! I thought..."

silva sighed in relief upon hearing the system's explanation.

"Lord God, let's go!"

Within minutes, Hayasaka Ai and the other two seemed to have discussed and positioned themselves around silva—one in front, one to the left, and one to the right.

Although Kato Megumi lacked strength, her inconspicuous presence might still have some influence on magical beasts (by mistake)?

The strongest among them, Kanao Tsuyuri, naturally took the lead! If they encountered any danger on the road, the group would rely mostly on her.

While it was said that Hayasaka Ai discussed with the others, it was mostly her doing the talking. Having served and arranged for Lady Kaguya for a long time, she naturally developed the ability to lead others.

Since waking up, Kanao Tsuyuri had only spoken once, addressing him as "Lord God," and that was it.

As for Kato Megumi, she did engage in brief discussions with Hayasaka Ai but kept it concise, indicating she was also a girl of few words.

The reason Hayasaka Ai knew Kanao Tsuyuri was the strongest was primarily due to the katana she carried. Another reason was that she seemed to barely breathe, with very subtle and regular breaths, though Hayasaka Ai didn't quite understand it.

"Lord God..."

"Don't be so formal! You are all part of my Familia; just call me by my name."

Hearing their master speak so casually, Hayasaka Ai was taken aback. Coming to this strange world, she had assumed that all deities would be aloof.

Seeing their master smile, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but return the smile genuinely, not the forced kind often seen in schools.

"Yes! Master... silva!"

And so, the group of four made their way towards the city of orario.

The place where silva awoke was not too far from orario, at most a two-hour walk, assuming one went by foot.

From a distance, they could vaguely see the outskirts of the city.

Scattered around were a few farms, with black-gray smoke rising high, indicating that lunch was being prepared...

silva noticed that Hayasaka Ai and Kato Megumi frequently looked around, clearly very mindful of the strange and curious environment.

They soon reached the outer city of orario, where they had to pass through a security check at the gate before entering.

There weren't many people ahead of silva's group, and the guards were quick with their inspections. Within minutes, it was their turn.

The guards, seeing that they didn't carry much luggage, simply inquired about their origins and purpose for visiting the city before letting them through.

"Do we have a map of orario, little system? I don't know the way!"

As silva passed through the city gate, he realized he had no map or anything similar, which would render his sense of direction useless.

"...Alright, here's a rough map of orario! Please take it, Master!"

As soon as the words were spoken, silva felt something extra at his waist. Reaching down, he pulled out a map.

"Hayasaka! This is the map of orario. Check where the Adventurers' Guild is; we need to go there to establish our Familia."

"Understood!"

Hayasaka Ai, upon hearing silva call her and seeing the sudden appearance of the map, didn't ask any questions. She took it and began to study it carefully.

For Hayasaka Ai, reading maps was a piece of cake, as she was adept at discerning directions. It was a simple task for her.

In less than a minute, Hayasaka Ai led silva and the others towards the Adventurers' Guild.

Upon entering the Adventurers' Guild, silva immediately recognized characters from the original story, Eina and Misha Flott.

Both of them were members of the Adventurers' Guild and part of a god's Familia.

"Hello! How may I assist you?"

Eina noticed silva's group right away. Their attire and appearance were out of place compared to the others, not resembling adventurers at all. One of them was even dressed as a maid! Could they be some rich young master here to play?

"Hello! I'm here to establish a Familia, and these three are my prospective Familia members," silva replied with a smile.

"Oh! So you're here to establish a Familia... Eh?!"

Eina had been working here for quite some time, so she instinctively followed silva's words, but it took her a couple of seconds to realize what she had just heard.

Establishing a Familia?! That's something only gods can do! Could it be... No! It surely couldn't be!
