The war game between Hestia and Apollo didn't take long to pass the guild's review.

Along with that, the whole city becomes busy.

The guild, as the governing body of the city, was very busy: in order to prepare for the all-out war between the factions and the soldiers, a lively and extraordinary festival, and at the same time to ensure that Olari was not affected by the war, the allocation of materials and personnel, propaganda, the demarcation of the battlefield to serve as an alternate stage for the war game, and a series of tasks including informing the neighboring regions were urgent, and not only that, but the willful demands of the gods were undoubtedly exacerbated.

Whether the war was aimed at adventurers or ordinary citizens, it became the talk of the people after dinner. In anticipation of people inside and outside the city, preparations for the war game are progressing in an orderly manner.

At noon on the second day of the declaration of war-

"--Is Hestia here today!?"

Olari Central, the thirtieth floor of the skyscraper facility.

Ornate pillars support the high ceiling, and in this spacious room with a round table, where a large number of gods are now gathered. The rules and format of the war game will be negotiated by the main gods of the opposing faction at this meeting known as the Divine Council, and of course, the opinions of the other gods will be taken into account in order to make it the best entertainment feast.

"I'm late, I'm sorry to have waited for a long time."

Although she said so, the little little goddess Lori seemed careless.

She was accompanied by Mihe.

Seeing her calm look, Apollo glared and asked:

"It's too slow, Hestia, what are you going to do with the responsibility of dragging the Divine Society to the present?"

"Oops. I'm sorry, but on the way here, I was blocked by a passing little wild cat, so I wandered for a long time. ”

In a voice that seemed to be singing, Hestia grinned and walked to her place and sat down.

"It's annoying to be small, time is precious, let's start quickly?"

Loki, who was holding the back of his head with both hands, said as if he was troubled, responding to her words. Negotiations on the war game began.

Hestia and Apollo glared at each other and began to sign the necessary documents.

"Hey, Hestia, if we win, I'll take all of your children!"

As if he had tried, Apollo raised his chin and shouted.

"This kind of thing, let's wait until you really win!"

"I'm going to make this clear beforehand, after all, if you cry and beg me afterwards. I can't afford it. If you can win, you can ask for it. ”

"That's what you say......"

Hestia laughed like a fishy kitten.

Before coming, Yuriko finally revealed the strength of all of her people to Hestia.

After learning the true strength of her children, who looked very cute and reliable, Hestia was still a little dizzy.

To this day, the cute goddess Lori still echoes Yuriko's imposing declaration in her head:

[Go with confidence, Lord God, even if that Apollo personally participates in the battle, we will put the glory of victory on your head!] 】

Soon the meeting moved on to the topic of winning and losing the war game.

"It's better to let the representatives of the [Dependents] decide the winner one-on-one."

Hestia, who was sitting in a corner of the round table, stared at Apollo across from him and spoke.

"Use the arena. Find more audiences, so it's the most lively, right? ”

Although I trust my children very much. Hestia still intends to choose the method of war that is beneficial to him as much as possible.

Compared with the people of the Apollo clan, the adventurers of the Hestian clan were still too few.

However, the blonde male god wearing the laurel wreath put on a calm mask and smiled:

"There are too few members of the [Clan], that's Hestia - you are cocooning yourself, who made you not spend more effort on recruiting members so far."

"Humph! One of my children is worth ten of you! Be careful not to magnify the words and bite your tongue! ”

"Ahaha, then I'll see! Why don't you use the fairest lottery to decide! ”

Seemingly fair proposal - the gods present agreed with it.

Only Hephaestus, Jianyulei, and Miher cast a worried look at Hestia.

Loki seems to be upset that Ace has been running to Hestia lately. Now seeing that the situation was unfavorable to Hestia, he immediately clapped his hands gloatingly.

A god placed the prepared box on the table.

Immediately afterward, each of the gods present held a piece of parchment in their hands, wrote down what they thought was an interesting plan for the war game, and threw it in the box.

"So, who's going to draw lots?"

Loki asked.

"I can't believe Apollo with a guy with nostrils out of the air!"

"Me too, so Mihe, Hephaestus, and Jianyu Lei have to be self-respecting!"

So. The eyes of the gods began to look around the room, and finally they all stopped on the face of one god.

"Hermes! It's up to you!! ””””

"Don't blame me......"

With a helpless smile, Hermes reached out and fumbled in the box.

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became extremely solemn.

Eventually, Hermes grabbed a note and withdrew his arm, slowly spreading it out in his hand.

"Huh!?"

Seeing the note in his hand, Hermes couldn't help but exclaim.

"What, what's wrong? Could it be a scuffle!? Hestia asked hurriedly.

Apollo also cast an inquiring gaze.

The other gods craned their necks and craned their ears as Hermes spoke.

Hermes, who didn't know much about the strength of Hestia's children, cast a regretful look at the former, and then sighed and spread the parchment on the table.

"Siege warfare."

"Wha!!!!ha

Apollo immediately burst out laughing.

This kind of game was too much of an advantage for the outnumbered Apollo clan - at least that's what he thought.

"Hestia! This is a result decided by a sacred and fair lottery, so don't fool yourself! ”

Siege warfare, whether offensive or defensive, requires a large number of troops.

Many of the gods cast regretful glances at Hestia, believing that the outcome was decided.

Apollo stood up, walked up to Hestia, and looked at the goddess Lori condescendingly.

"Oh, I'm an upright god, and your clan has too few members to defend the city, so let you attack!"

Seeing this, Hermes suddenly said: "Apollo, in this way, the combat power of the two sides is too unbalanced, and your numerical advantage is too obvious, and we can't be interested in the result if the result is already doomed, right?" ”

Apollo was stunned.

"So, in order to create suspense, why don't you allow Hestia to bring in foreign aid?"

"No!!"

Surprisingly, it was not Apollo who spoke out against it, but Hestia.

All the gods looked at the goddess Lori in amazement, with an expression of "are you crazy].

Hestia, on the other hand, remembered what Yuriko had said before.

[Whether it's one-on-one or one, or group melee or not-it should be said, melee is the most beneficial for us, Lord God, if it's really a legion-level battle, we'll let you understand that the barrage from Gensokyo is the only truth to save the world]

There is one more sentence that Yuriko did not say.

That is, she is a superpowered person who has single-handedly fought against armies all over the world.

Hestia looked up at Apollo, who was a little sluggish.

"Siege warfare, that's it, you said we would attack."

"Haha, hahahaha-!!"

Apollo laughed at Hestia's performance.

"Good! Hestia! You just wait to cry and cry and beg for mercy!! ”

- That's it, [Hestia. Dependents] and Apollo. Clans], the siege is about to begin. (To be continued......)
