* * *

Though I had teased Grace a bit for being cheeky, Jin didn’t really interfere with the two children playing.

Thanks to that, Grace, who had cried her heart out, was able to play with Iliya again with slightly reddened eyes.

“Really, why did you do that?”

Meanwhile, the adults had an outdoor tea time under the garden gazebo.

Jin, who had been looking at Iliya fondly, shrugged her shoulders at Ordel’s reproach.

“It’s about establishing hierarchy. I need to sort it out early so it won’t be troublesome later.”

“You want to compete for hierarchy with a child?”

“Age doesn’t matter when it comes to hierarchy.”

“I agree with that too.”

Rute expressed his agreement with Jin’s opinion.

“If you’re too lenient, there are always people who try to encroach on my position. I can’t tolerate that, even from a little kid.”

“You do know how to say the right things.”

Jin nodded her head.

Anyway, they’re usually too busy fighting to think straight, but at times like this, they get along so well.

“I wish we could leave Grace here and go home just the two of us.”

“That’s right. Grace would probably be happier about that too.”

The Sun God’s Main Temple, where the only three people who could handle Grace were gathered.

Trisha and Mikhail sincerely wanted to leave Grace in their care.

“It would be good for the child’s character education too. Couldn’t we ask you to take her for just a few months?”

Wasn’t there a saying that it takes a whole village to raise a child?

So the Sun God’s Main Temple should also help as one family.

“Don’t say such ridiculous things.”

Before Ordel could answer, Rute cut in sharply.

“Don’t children need their parents’ warmth the most? No matter how much we’re one family, we can’t compare to the affection parents give, so don’t harbor such impossible expectations.”

“That wicked boy.”

At her son’s merciless rejection, Trisha lamented that she had really raised her child wrong.

Of course, she hadn’t really intended to leave Grace there, but that boy was still annoyingly hateful.

“Don’t worry, Ordel. You’re busy raising your own son, so we have no intention of leaving our child with you. We should raise our own child.”

Trisha patted Ordel’s hand.

“I wouldn’t mind taking her. Please come visit often with Grace. It would be good for Iliya’s personality development to play with the lively Grace.”

My goodness, Trisha was genuinely moved by Ordel’s generous words.

To describe Grace’s temperament as lively!

Indeed, the magnanimity of the Great Holy Maiden who saved the world was extraordinary.

Just having such a precious child accept Rute was an honor for the clan.

“Rute, you should serve Ordel for life.”

“I’m already doing that. I’ll work even harder in the future.”

Rute took Ordel’s hand and smiled with his eyes.

Seeing Rute’s seduction right before their eyes, Trisha and Jin immediately frowned.

Ordel was fine, but having to witness this scene every time that guy was around, really.

It would be perfect if only that guy wasn’t there, but unfortunately, Rute rarely left Ordel’s side, so they could only swallow their disappointment.

“By the way, how is Nashas, High Priest?”

After some light conversation, Ordel asked Jin with concern.

Nashas, the elderly High Priest of the Eternal God.

Thanks to the devoted care of the Eternal God and Holy Maiden Jin, he was still holding on, but that didn’t mean they could meaningfully extend his lifespan.

That was also forbidden.

“He’s gotten better. The divine artifact you gave helped a lot. Nashas asked me to definitely convey his gratitude.”

The divine artifact Aurora.

Ordel had willingly lent Nashas the divine artifact containing the most powerful healing power.

Of course, the healing power wouldn’t be able to prevent aging, but it would at least prevent him from getting sick before leaving this world.

“This is all I can do. I’ll go to the Shrine of the Annihilation God soon. I can’t extend his lifespan either, but it should still be a great help in recovering his vitality.”

“I won’t tell Nashas. If I do, that old man will blame himself for days, saying he’s bothering the Holy Maiden.”

Jin frowned slightly.

Though she had always found Nashas’s nagging annoying, she had never actually disliked him.

Nashas was the only person who had pitied her during her first life.

Moreover, back then he had died early without living his full lifespan because of her.

So this time, she only hoped he would live as long as possible.

Though she didn’t acknowledge him as family like Ordel, he was still one of the few people close to Jin.

She was sick of losing such people.

She would listen to a few more nagging words if it meant he could stay by her side longer.

Though she had never told anyone out of embarrassment.

“The divine artifact – is that the one? The one you lent to me too.”

Trisha asked.

She had also borrowed it from Ordel when she was pregnant.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Wow, that divine artifact really gets used for many things. It’s the first time I’ve seen a divine artifact, not a holy relic, pass through so many human hands. Of course, I mean that in a good way. I benefited from it too.”

Unlike holy relics created by humans, divine artifacts were personally crafted by gods and bestowed upon humans.

Naturally, as objects symbolizing gods, they were usually stored deep within temples, and only in very urgent situations would Holy Maidens or Holy Sages take them out, use them once, and quickly put them back.

“They’re there to be used, so what’s wrong with using them a bit?”

But Ordel couldn’t understand such thinking.

If the gods hadn’t wanted them to be used, they wouldn’t have given divine artifacts in the first place.

Things given to be used – how wonderful would it be if people who need them could utilize them?

Of course, since they were what they were, there was potential for misuse, so she couldn’t let just anyone use them.

But she was fully willing to lend them to trustworthy people.

“Come to think of it, I heard the Shrine of the Annihilation God has also started lending out divine artifacts?”

“That’s right.”

Jin nodded at Trisha’s question.

The divine artifact of the Shrine of the Annihilation God that helps people meet a peaceful death.

It was also the divine artifact most desired by people suffering from incurable diseases that couldn’t be cured even with the Sun God’s divine power.

Recently, the Shrine of the Annihilation God announced that anyone who wanted help from the divine artifact could come anytime.

And more people than expected came and peacefully left this world with the help of the divine artifact.

It was natural that people’s perception of the long-reclusive Shrine of the Annihilation God began to change.

“I don’t know why they keep hiding divine artifacts that aren’t even that important.”

Jin clicked her tongue.

Jin was probably the first person to provide divine artifacts to the public regardless of the gods’ intentions.

【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ magnanimously nods, saying that if this is the choice made by his Holy Maiden, he respects anything.】

【’Light of Indomitability and Faith’ mocks him for pretending to be generous.】

The two gods began to quarrel.

Ordel and Jin simultaneously frowned at the unnecessarily lengthy System Messages and turned off the message function.

“The Temple of the Sea God has no plans to release their divine artifacts?”

“There don’t seem to be any plans yet.”

When Ordel shook her head, Trisha looked disappointed.

The Temple of the Sea God had a divine artifact that not only helped people breathe underwater but also allowed some control over waves.

Because of this, everyone who worked at sea wanted that divine artifact, but the Temple of the Sea God absolutely refused to lend it out.

“But now that I mention it, I am curious. Next time I have business at the Temple of the Sea God, I should try asking to borrow it.”

“What? They’d give it to you if you asked?”

At Trisha’s surprised voice, Ordel shrugged.

“I don’t know. But it doesn’t seem impossible.”

If she asked the Sun God and Eternal God to persuade the Sea God, wouldn’t they eagerly pester him?

The Sea God had also become much more docile than before.

Or maybe threaten Carmen or Dominic a little, you know.
