Mount Olympus

"He won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hestia jumped up in joy, the ones who had formed some sort of friendship with Jin cheered for joy. This was because he had unveiled his new [Queen] form and won the exhibition match with it.

We were watching from our own realm, the ones who traveled to the Underworld were Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. The rest of us stayed behind and helped our residents watch the match using holographic visions laid across the realm.

"His armor is completely different; it does not reflect his moniker of 'Red Dragon Emperor'. Do you think he will gain a new one?"

Artemis says while looking at the screen.

"How does 'Black Dragon Emperor' sound? Is it too edgy?"

Hermes suggest, but many of the Gods present put their thumbs down, making him chuckle.

"Wouldn't 'Golden Dragon Emperor' make more sense?"

A few of them argue back and forth as to what the new moniker for Jin would be. However, I glanced at Freyja as she had a very dangerous and curious glint in her eyes. It looked like the eyes of a hunter looking at prey...

She sees me and smiles at me, I awkwardly look away... I can't get use to her. Only a few people can deal with Freyja naturally, and I'm not one of them...

Now that his match is over...does that mean our date...... When I think about it, my face heats up. Jin will surely contact me soon...

Apollon, Hera and Chronos were just smiling and nodding approvingly at the screen. I guess they like the results of the match...

Goddess Danu

"He won!!! And that new armor he has!! Incredible!! I want to meet him!!!"

Cana was jumping up and down as she celebrated Jin's victory. I wasn't too worried about him, but I was quite surprised when he was engulfed in a bright light. However...

I glance at Áine as she had her hand over her mouth and had a complicated expression. Earlier she shouted 'Harem King-sama', whether she was mocking him or meant it, I do not know. Even when looking at her, she showed that she was also unsure of it.

"Danu! Áine! Amazing, he's amazing! I really want to meet him! When is he coming back?!"

"...I did feel him come to the country a few days ago..."

Cana looked at me with horror—

"Why didn't you say anything?!"

"He was on a date with two of his lovers..."

Cana made a 'Ah' sound and nodded sagely. She is reasonable, even if she sometimes wears her emotions on her sleeve. Cana then started to go over the match with a very excited tone. Áine and I just listened, however, Áine's mind was somewhere else as she only nodded absentmindedly to Cana's questions or statements.

What did this mean? Did this match affect her views towards Jin? We did feel his power all the way here. I can assume that the rest of the supernatural also noticed too, more eyes are on him now...

"Perhaps I can play him a song with my harp when I meet him? That will surely impress him!"

Cana smiles as she summons a harp and starts to play it. I smile at her, maybe... From what I could tell, Jin still loves our country, so he may appreciate it.
