In a beautiful roo filled with various entertainment activities floating in the skies. Seven chairs and three thrones sit in the centre, surrounded by a small casino, a game room and a bar where a grey-haired beastkin woman stands cleaning a glass.

This place was where the gods met for discussion and leisure.

The world Ryuji transmigrated, too, has seven minor gods that deal with certain tasks and features and three great gods that deal with greater elements.

More gods existed in the world.

However, only the top could visit this special room, completely cut off from the world''s time and existence, allowing them to spend long periods debating when tragedies happened.

A beautiful woman with flecks of fur across her wrists and ankles, wearing a simple cloth robe and long, glossy brown hair, approached the bar.

"Goddess Ishtar, it is interesting to see you here—normally, you do not take part." The bartender said with a slight smirk before serving a dark brown ale to her.

"What are you talking about? Why are you pretending to be a bartender, Luna?"

Luna, the goddess of werewolves with her grey hair and slightly more fur than Ishtar, could only show a slight smirk while preparing herself a long glass filled with red liquor before hopping onto the other side of the bar and sitting beside Ishtar.

"Mmm~ I wanted to have some fun because once the others get here, everything will be boring."

Ishtar scoffed—the bearskin gods of battle, the counterpart to the human god of war, couldn''t help but agree.

"True, once they all come. It will get really stifling--" The moment she went to continue speaking, two flashes of light and a loud thud sounded as two human gods appeared.

One male, with his abdomen exposed and quite an attractive body, his golden hair down to his hips, while wearing a strange skirt with bronze plating.

"What a strange sight, the goddess of peace and god of war arriving together. Are they banging?" Luna muttered to herself before sipping her drink.

"Heh, what kind of man wears a skirt, how pathetic." Ishtar snorted, causing Aries, the god of war, to show the most distorted face, his upper lip rising and eyes scowling.

Helena, the goddess of peace, looked cute, with wavy brown hair and fair skin. She seemed lovely and might trigger a man''s protective desire. "H-How could you say such boorish things... Aries and I are not like that!"

As gods, how could they not hear a whisper? This wasn''t some shounen protagonist missing a confession.

"Damn, she''s cute; look at her cheeks pouting like a blowfish..." Ishtar tapped the counter with a vulgar laugh. "Hey Aries, your bitch is dripping wet for you."

"Ishtar! Do not profane the maiden of peace! Helena is the most pure gentle existence in this pantheon!"

"Yeah, yeah, I am sure she''s not a virgin. Look at how easily she can manipulate you. What a skilled woman, damn I should be glad I''m a woman." Luna mocked. The human and beastkin gods never got along.

Suddenly, another god appeared. However, the vibrance and power of the light showed it was one of the three supreme gods.

Lumina... The goddess of light!

"Ah, from the moment she saw him, that girl was weird. Love might be wrong, and maybe it''s obsession?"

The other gods listened to the two beastkin goddesses chattering on while Serena''s lips curled upward into the first smile she had shown since arriving.

"5000 souls that she spreads her legs and becomes his woman before the end of the year." Luna tipped her glass and kissed the tip, a flutter of golden light forming with the number 5000.

"10000 souls she became his within three months!" Ishtar dipped her finger in her whiskey and drew the 10000 on her chest as it turned blood red and formed a loud cry like beasts roaring into the sky.

The two beastkin goddesses are quite at ease; looking around, nobody else joins the bet, but the goddess of darkness giggles. "I guess noone else is joining?"

"I think you are both right. That boy managed to charm her despite being an apostle and before his blood even started to awaken. Now he''s awakened, she stands no chance. I bet 50,000 souls that she will fall within two years."

The goddess of darkness didn''t plan to win. Instead, when she blew a kiss, it formed a black butterfly with the 50,000 etched onto its wings, floating towards the two beastkin as if they were playing a game. The three women smiled amongst themselves while quietly, the human gods seemed to have left the space.

"Hey, Ishtar, do you really think those two are going at it?" Luna asked, watching Aries and Helena leave; since the best was concluded, the two could just act like friends as usual.

"I don''t know, but Helena seems strange. Somehow, I don''t think her true virtue is peace..."

"Ahahahaha!" Serena giggled to herself, her giggle turning into a full-on belly laugh before she wiped her face and rolled off her throne. "True, that boy is stupid and a mere toy for her. She won''t sleep with him because her purity is the true source of her divinity. But if she made that obvious, wouldn''t the bad guys all gang up and take it away from her?"

Serena waved to the two before stepping into the shadows, her figure instantly fading as her laugh echoed for several moments before it faded in an eerie way.

"No way, that woman is the goddess of purity!? Hahahahaha!" Luna leaned over the bar, slapping her empty glass down with a brilliant smile.

"That poor Aries... he probably thinks he''s going to get to use his dagger, only to find out she''s just using him to boost her power then he''ll be tossed away like Helios was."

The two women looked at each other, and then at the empty room, matching looks on their faces.

"Should we go and watch more of the drama down there?"

"Mm, I want to see more of that cute boy and how he just forces himself through all these challenges that face him."

"A little blessing won''t hurt, right?"

"Mm, should we bless his empress? She is a beastkin, after all."

"Maybe later... for now, let''s show him we are routing for him," Ishtar added before her figure began to turn foggy. She placed a strange coin on the desk and passed it over to Luna before she vanished, leaving only Luna in her bartending outfit.

"Although you were not born one of my daughters, let''s see what happens when you get my blessing... a werefox. Could I make something that amusing?"

Luna took the coin and looked fleetingly at the three empty seats before she walked towards the bar door. Somehow, she liked to leave more authentically than boast her strength, her mind moving towards Ryuji and the future he might face.

"Serena seems to like him, but that girl loves to tease the things she likes. Will that cute boy be okay?"
