Alise: Hmmm... What's with all the commotion? Should we follow them?

She muttered, placing her hands on her waist as she watched the goddesses run past them.

Lyra: It's a group of goddesses... Trust me, it's better if we just steer clear and ask Astraea-sama when she gets back.

Alise: Oh, come on! Aren't you even a little curious?! What if it's something big? I say we at least check it out!

She said while turning to face Lyra.

Lyra: *Sighs*  Then why do you even ask if you're just going to do it anyway...?

Alise: *Smirk*  Ehehehe~ Well, it's more fun when I get some backup! What do you say, Kaguya? Ryu?

Kaguya: *Smile*  Well, this seems fun. Count me in.

She said while folding her arms.

Ryu: They could be chasing down some deviant. As the Familia of justice, we must ensure that no evildoer escapes!

Alise: *Smile* That's the spirit! Alright, let's go!

The four, who had been patrolling the city, quickly shifted their focus and picked up their pace, following the goddesses through the busy streets. Their curiosity grew with each step, eager to see what had caused such a stir.

When they finally caught up, they found themselves in front of an even larger crowd. Dozens of goddesses had gathered around a single alleyway, their sheer numbers forming a tight wall that blocked any view of what was happening inside. No matter how much Alise and the others tried to peer through the gaps, the commotion ahead remained a mystery.

Alise: T-There's so many of them! W-What's happening?!

Her voice trembled with disbelief as she took a step back, her eyes darting around at the overwhelming scene before her. The sheer number of goddesses was staggering. Her heart pounded in her chest, a mix of unease and confusion gripping her tightly.

Kaguya: Everyone! Over here!

Kaguya's sharp voice cut through the chaos, snapping Alise and the others out of their daze. She stood beside a small, makeshift stall, hastily climbing onto a stack of wooden boxes to get a better view. Her brows furrowed as she scanned the scene, her usual composed expression wavering slightly.

The others wasted no time, hurrying to Kaguya's side and scrambling onto the same set of boxes. As they reached the top, their breath hitched at the sight before them.

And then, cutting through the restless murmurs of the gathered crowd, a voice rang out with absolute authority, smooth, unwavering, yet carrying a weight that sent a shiver down their spines.

Hera: No one can escape a challenge... A wargame.

A suffocating silence followed her words, the air thick with tension. Hera's tone wasn't loud, but everyone present listened to her words carefully, as if she had already decided the course of fate itself. Her words weren't a mere declaration, they were an undeniable truth, a verdict that left no room for argument.
