Her eyes darted back and forth between Hestia and the divine weapon wrapped in cloth beside her.

Finally, Artemis cleared her throat twice, sat up straight, and said, "Hestia, are you sure the [Spear] you lost really looks like what you described?"

"My... well, that spear is exactly as I described! What's wrong? Have you seen it somewhere, Artemis?"

Hearing Artemis's words, Hestia's eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed her hand, asking excitedly.

"Ho, how could I have... I've been exploring ruins in the Great Tree Sea, and I even encountered danger not long ago. I, I couldn't have possibly seen your lost spear..."

"Yes, I haven't seen it at all!"

Turning her head away, she silently shifted her gaze from Hestia, grabbed Orion's Arrow wrapped in cloth, and placed it behind her. Artemis blushed and pretended nothing had happened.

"I see. Well, my... that spear was lost in Orario. It's only been two days, including today. There's no way you could have seen it."

Hestia didn't suspect anything and nodded with disappointment.

It seemed that if she wanted to know Lu Yuan's whereabouts, she could only ask Hermes.

Fortunately, Artemis had escaped from danger and met them on the way back.

In that case, their return to Orario would undoubtedly be greatly shortened.

...

Hestia and her group met Artemis in the evening.

The series of conversations caused time to pass.

Ultimately.

Everyone unanimously decided to camp overnight on the outskirts of the Great Tree Sea. The next day, Hestia and the others, who were eager to find the [Spear], would return first to report Artemis's information to the Guild and the gods.

As for the Astraea Familia, they would stay with the Artemis Familia and return with them to avoid any accidents.

Time came to late at night.

The bright moonlight cast a cold light on the earth. In the boundless sky, countless stars dotted the horizon, making it a beautiful sight.

Inside the Astraea Familia's tent.

"Lady Astraea, Lady Artemis seemed very strange today. Also, regarding the spear Lady Hestia mentioned, I suspect..."

Ryu Lion knelt in the tent, quietly analyzing the oddities of the day.

"That spear should be Lu Yuan," Astraea said with certainty.

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, that tightly wrapped club beside Artemis should be Lu Yuan, or at least definitely related to Lu Yuan," Astraea added.

Hestia couldn't hide anything.

Plus, she knew Lu Yuan's abilities.

As soon as Hestia spoke, Astraea basically knew what had happened.

Without a doubt.

Lu Yuan had transformed into a spear.

Astraea also understood Artemis well.

With her previously meticulous personality, she would never do something like secretly grabbing things like she did tonight.

She even blushed.

Therefore.

Through the information from both of them.

Astraea was at least eighty percent sure that the object wrapped in cloth beside Artemis was a spear, and also the Lu Yuan she wanted to contact!

"So, Lady Astraea had Hestia and the others return first!"

"Once Hestia and the others leave, our chances of contacting Lord Lu Yuan will greatly increase!"

"We might even be able to secretly and carefully [borrow] him, and have Lord Lu Yuan stay with our Astraea Familia for a few days."

Captain Alise clapped her hands, realizing the truth.

"That's right! It's all because Hestia always refuses my visits with various excuses! And we're supposed to be good friends from the heavens!"

"I will definitely not tell her this information!"

Astraea's face revealed a look of 'everything is under control'.

However.

The next second.

*Thump!*

A muffled sound suddenly came from not far away.

Immediately afterward.

The entire camp became lively.

"Is it an attack?"

Hearing the noise outside the tent, Astraea immediately led Ryu Lion and Alise out of the tent.

When Astraea led the two to the campfire set up tonight.

She was surprised to find that her friend Artemis was actually confronting Alfia.

Behind the goddess, everyone on Artemis's side was glaring at Alfia.

While Hestia's side had no idea what was happening.

Hestia herself was still yawning, looking like she had just woken up.

Wait!

Astraea's gaze suddenly turned to Alfia's hand.

Good heavens.

The [Spear] she had been longing for was actually in Alfia's grasp.

"Why did you steal my Orion! Return him to me, and for Hestia's sake, I can forgive you!"

Beside the campfire.

Artemis looked at the divine weapon wrapped in cloth in Alfia's hand, worried and angry.

At the same time, she deeply regretted letting Orion be taken by someone else.

She should have been more careful, more careful, and even more careful.

"Your Orion? No! He is Lu Yuan of our Hestia Familia."

*Thud.*

She slammed the object on the ground, making a dull sound. Alfia spoke calmly and slowly.

"I don't know any Lu Yuan! Please, adventurer, return Orion of our Artemis Familia!" Artemis said with a serious expression, shouting loudly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Artemis, and Alfia, don't argue. You can talk things over calmly." Rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning again, Hestia still didn't seem to be fully awake.

She didn't even hear what the two had said earlier.

"Lu Yuan, shouldn't you explain yourself?"

"You've only been out for two days, and you've already gotten involved with a new person?"

*Tear.*

Alfia suddenly pulled the end of the cloth.

As the white cloth fell off the 'club'.

After a moment, a crystal clear spear slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"Yuan! It's my Yuan! Uh..."

Seeing the spear, Hestia instinctively pounced towards it.

But.

Then, Alfia stopped her with one hand on her head. Her two fluttering hands could only helplessly circle in the air.

"I can't help it. Would you believe me if I said it was the world's choice...?"

A faint white light swirled on the spear.

A familiar voice entered their ears.

The next second.

Lu Yuan's figure appeared in front of everyone.

"My Orion!"

"Lord Orion!"

"Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!"

"Lord Lu Yuan!?"

"..."

For a moment, almost all the girls subconsciously called out the figure they admired.
