"Damn, my neck hurts!"

"That Goddess, she's never given anyone a massage before, and she decides to use me as a practice dummy."

"Her hands were so stiff, it felt like she was throwing punches. My poor neck was creaking and cracking the whole time."

Bathed in the twilight glow, Mika rubbed his neck, venting his frustration.

"I'm sorry, Mika. Yahweh-sama forbade me from healing you," Airmid said, averting her gaze. She couldn't bear to meet Mika's eyes.

"Don't worry about it, Airmid. He deserves it. Who told him to go flirting with another goddess? A jealous goddess is a force to be reckoned with," Mellie said with a teasing smile, patting Airmid's shoulder. She winked at Mika, as if hinting at something.

"What do you mean, flirting?! Astraea forced herself on me! I couldn't exactly push a goddess away, could I?" Mika protested loudly.

"Is that so?"

"Then why did someone seem to be enjoying it so much?" Mellie's eyes locked with Mika's, a knowing glint in them.

Unable to meet Mellie's gaze, Mika turned away, flustered. He couldn't form a coherent response.

After all, on the night Yahweh had "punished" him, Mellie had invaded his dreams in Astraea's form, teasing and tormenting him relentlessly.

So, Mellie could easily discern the truth behind Mika's words.

"Forget it. There's no point arguing with you two," Mika grumbled.

"That's because you're wrong," Mellie retorted playfully.

Thus, bickering amongst themselves, the three returned to their Familia home.

...

"Welcome back."

Hearing the door open, Yahweh greeted the returning trio with a warm smile from the courtyard.

"Dinner's ready. Come and eat!"

With that, Yahweh returned to the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

"I'll help you, Yahweh-sama," Airmid offered.

"I'll get the chairs," Mellie chimed in.

"I'll put our equipment away," Mika added.

The three quickly divided the tasks and set about helping Yahweh.

Soon, the table in the courtyard was laden with a feast.

"Why is dinner so extravagant tonight?" Mika asked curiously.

"It's to celebrate your upcoming departure, of course! Tonight's the night you leave for the expedition," Yahweh replied.

Mika, Mellie, and Airmid's expressions turned serious.

Yes, tonight was the night.

Three days had passed in a blink of an eye.

The time for the expedition had arrived.

"Let's eat," Yahweh said.

"Yes!"

The three took their seats and began to devour the delicious meal.

Soon, the earlier tension dissipated, replaced by lively conversation.

"Just you wait. When I return, I'll be a Level 4 adventurer!" Mellie declared confidently.
