It wasn't like the husband was trying to offend the goddess. She was someone out from his grasp anyway, but Kyoya just had his mind filled with Xaya anyway. Besides, someone like Goddess Fiana should clearly feel that Kyoya had no intention to offend her, nor he possessed any lustful intention.

The latter was something Kyoya needed to use his Trickster God's abilities for, though.

He used his trickster divine energy to trick himself so that he wouldn't get charmed by the goddess's appearance.

The goddess stood in front of him with her red dress spreading her flames in every direction. Her long legs were hidden beneath this frill dress, but Kyoya's favorite part was exposed along with her shoulders.

He could see her cleavage, which was on fire as Goddess Fiana's skin was slightly red from the way her red dress brought up the flames. Her red, lit-up wavy hair was also cascading onto her shoulders, igniting her skin even more.

'It's like hot iron waiting to be kneaded- What am I thinking?'

[You have lied to yourself.]

[You have lied to yourself.]

[You have lied to yourself.]

The husband's eyes went wide as he did his best to control the emotions, but the goddess's beauty was indeed topping over the women he saw on his adventurers. He also was aware of her special identity, so the husband was indeed acting like a man while being utterly oblivious to the fact that his eyes kept lingering on her ample bosom.

[Mortal lust is bothersome. But I would find it bizarre if you could've lied entirely to yourself with Trickster God's abilities at this level.]

"I believed I had my desires in my control, but it is the first time meeting the pure goddess."

[You should've met the disciples of a death god and his wife or... the other part of your divine heritage.]

"..."

The husband didn't want to cause problems for the father in law, so he stood silent with his eyes directly looking into the goddess' fire jewels. Those were similar to Xiaoxiao, but she had countless golden stars going across her deep red pupils, which was charming.

This stance made the goddess nod.

Since Kyoya didn't want to speak about external powers, she had to change the question a little and lit up the mood. However, Goddess Fiana certainly liked that the husband didn't go against his origins, even in such a situation.

Her little hands reached for her dress, then the heel's sound reverberated through this special place.

She was closing up the distance.

[Why do you want to see me each time my child comes here?]

"It's about charm stat. I just realized I could raise the charm stat when I see gods. And I don't have deep connections at all, but if it's Goddess Fiana, we can always see each other for small talk. After all, Xiaoxiao is already in my adventurer party."

[Adventurers change parties frequently.]

"I already saw Xiaoxiao's smile. I think she is pretty content with my party, and I don't want her to leave my side. This is time for me to build the proper party slowly."

Kyoya didn't lie when it came to his own circumstances.

He already realized the Goddess Fiana was aware of his game system and that Xiaoxiao had it too; otherwise, she wouldn't have called him here, and the name of the father in law wouldn't be mentioned.

He exposed the charm stat, then the goddess' curiosity in her eyes revealed the goddess' knowledge.

She knew about his game system and stats, at least.

[If you reach ascension, your charm stat should soar with points.]

"That might be true, but the change would be too huge for me by then If I were to have a few points. I feel like slowly building up my charm and body would feel more satisfied."

[You have lied to yourself.]

[You have lied to yourself.]

[You have lied to…]

Many of those game system messages appeared in Kyoya's eyes, but it wasn't because of his words. Those were his real feelings, so it had to be something else. And what other than the bosom rivaling his wife could make the husband go 'wild' like that?

The sound of heels stopped, the Goddess Fiana looked at the system message in front of the husband as she stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

[You have two points, so it's either Trickster God or Death God you have met with. Tell me who it was.]

"..."

[I don't want to force myself on you because this system is intriguing. From what I could tell from my child, this system greatly helps her with knowledge from the divine energies.]

At the end of her sentence, the goddess's voice slightly changed. Kyoya felt like she was looking down on his divine energies as only the fire one could thoroughly help Xiaoxiao reach her.

It was fine to think like that, but Kyoya's game system wasn't that feeble.

"Yes, it was present for Xiaoxiao so that she could go for her dreams."

[Do you know what kind of dream she has?]

"No."

[If you don't tell me which god you work with, then her dreams won't become a reality. What you did to her would already make her worthless if it was another god who caught her with other divine energies.]

"Did Goddess Fiana just lie?"

[...]

Kyoya could swear that he felt a lie to which Goddess Fiana just blinked. She was next to him, but her divine voice was always ringing from within Kyoya's mind. Besides, the husband couldn't turn to her side as it would make him use more of his divine energies.

He would also feel worse, and the goddess could probably use it against him too in the future!

But, because the husband was continuously using his Trickster God's energy, he was more sensitive toward the goddess and somehow managed to find the lie in her voice. It startled the goddess for sure as she became silent, but Kyoya didn't dare to turn around.

He felt like her fire dress was tying his legs, though. The constant waves of flames were gathering around his legs.

'Can I even leave this place?'

Kyoya asked himself, but he also didn't want to stop Xiaoxiao's growth and waste her efforts from this talk. That was why he inhaled and exposed the person who was more than mere acquaintance.

"It's the Sixth Death God."

[If it's the death god, then I am on your side. I refuse to believe the Trickster Gods have managed to grasp his energy unless it was him…]

"The first and original?"

[Yes. Do you know whose divine energy you have been using?]

"I don't… really know. It feels like mine already, and… that's what I thought…"

It was Kyoya's turn to get startled by the question. He never really gave deep thought to his Trickster God's origins. What he knew was that Xaya stole the Trickster God's summoning method unknowingly from the heavenly palace, then used it to summon him from the earth.

He inadvertently turned around to face the goddess only to see her eyes dilated as she deeply did her best to probe through his body.

Kyoya wasn't her disciple, so more means had to be used.

However, Goddess Fiana's lips parted slightly after some time. She wanted to say something but held herself. Then, the truth became exposed.

"I can't tell… But it feels like it's your own..."

She even spoke in a normal voice, which was more adorable to Kyoya's ears. It was sheer and without any ethereal-like feelings, just a pure melodious voice.

He smiled and reassured that it was fine, but Goddess Fiana wasn't done with her explanations.

"It's either the first or the other two. I don't know much about the first three trickster gods."

"Even goddesses lack knowledge."

"Don't compare the divine lands with world pillars. You have floors stacked in one place while the divine lands are vast and mysterious, even to many. I am also not the goddess who works with divine rules, but lives and guides with my concept."

"I understand, and thank you."

Kyoya then shifted his eyes to the side as he got tired of his divine energy's constant usage. He also got slightly worried at the beginning when Goddess couldn't probe into his origins, but it should be the same with father in law, then.

Otherwise, The Sixth Death God would've said something about his origins and told him to be wary about certain disciples and god.

'The summoning scroll must have been done well to blind the two gods… I think?'

[Tell me about the stats and game system.]

"Ah, what a pity… Cough, cough. Then, I will explain a little…"

Kyoya was more aware of his powers, so his knowledge satisfied the goddess and even made her more interested in the game system. It was truly something that made things easier and more competitive as well, but Goddess Fiana was already thinking about Xiaoxiao's reward.

After all, Xiaoxiao deserved some special reward from the belief she gathered from killing the pyromaniacs. A sudden question then escaped her mind.

[What's your purpose of becoming an adventurer in a low world pillar?]

"It's to be content with my new life. But lately, I realized how hard someone's face has to be pummeled. And these origins, I have to know about my origins, so nothing surprises me in the future."

It didn't seem like Kyoya lied. But Goddess Fiana wanted to know the purpose of The Sixth Death God, but once again, this god was just tsundere, and he didn't say anything to Xaya after sending her to the low world pillar.

But father in law just wanted her to be content with her life too.

"I help The Sixth Death God with souls, but it's a minor quest. I am on the path to be the Trickster God myself."

[The proportion of your divine energies is enough to tell me what kind of god you are going to be if you were to reach the ascension. Ascension is nothing more, but the vulnerable state, so if you were a puppet of Trickster God, then it would bring disaster.]

Kyoya's words also were suiting The Sixth Death God as this god was always busy with his work, so Kyoya just living his life and supporting him from the low world pillar sounded plausible for the goddess.

If she knew about Xaya, then she would be more supportive of Kyoya. Regardless of that, Goddess Fiana asked the 'game master' about the present for Xiaoxiao. She could turn the belief into a special title, which was her the best thought.

"A title is nice. I agree with that. I got many concepts from the titles, but I think the goddess's support would be more valuable to Xiaoxiao. If Goddess Fiana's could somehow integrate her divine knowledge to the system, then it would be far more valuable."

[That is impossible now, but I can leave behind this consciousness.]

"This is?"

[What kind of animal do women like nowadays?]

"I think… cats?"

A goddess' mesmerizing body turned into pure flames. She totally disappeared so that Kyoya could look around in wonder; then, the flames began joining up to form a small cat. This cat was puffy and looking fluffy with its soft fur. If she curled up, then she would be like a fluffy red ball for sure.

This cat sat down elegantly on the ground, then raised its head high at Kyoya.

[Pass me game system.]

"Are you sure?"

[This is just one of my old consciousnesses I use to speak with my believers who seek me. If anything wrong were to happen to me, then I will immediately destroy it.]

A goddess reassured, then Kyoya did as she said.

A moment later, he got a new message.

[Goddess Fiana wants to add you to the friend list.]

Kyoya naturally accepted.

[Your charm stat has been raised by ten points.]

"..."

[Goddess Fiana: I don't have to use my divine messages now. I want you to pass me to my child now.]

"It's Xiaoxiao…"

[Goddess Fiana: I know.]

Therefore, the goddess has joined the husband's party.
