Chapter 93 – The arts are finished.
Two days had passed since I took the second volume to Elma. A man appeared at the door of my mansion (I don't know how he found my address) and came to call me to take a look at the artwork done by the artist Elma had hired.
I promptly went to the library, and when I entered, Elma greeted me with a smile. She placed the two art pieces on the counter and waited for me to examine them. The quality of the art is excellent.
The arts have a much more realistic style but are still very beautiful. The artist designed Subaru well but made some changes to Emilia's design. Her hair was longer, and her clothes were now completely white.
But it's beautiful. We can use it.
"This is amazing. I didn't think you knew such a talented artist. Although the art style differs from what I requested, we can use it."
"Really?! I thought you wouldn't like it. The drawings you made looked quite different from these."
"My drawings weren't good, unlike these. We can use this one; it's more eye-catching. The background colors are beautiful." The artist used a lot of purple in the background.
"Of course, I'll get the cover ready! Will the title of the second volume remain the same?"
"Yes, keep the same name. Add 'Volume 2' to the cover...That's enough."
"Alright. I've already started printing the copies for the second volume, and the cover will be ready by tomorrow. I think we'll start selling even earlier than planned."
"Did you hire more people by any chance?"
"I hired many more employees and also bought more printing machines. We will have a lot of volumes available on the launch of the second volume, probably 10,000 copies."
"10,000 copies? Isn't that too much?"
"Of course not. The copies will be distributed to various other stores in Orario, and then we'll send them outside the city. Your book is far more famous than you think."
"I've been told that a few times before."
"Would you like a cup of tea before you go?" Elma asked as she put the artwork away in a folder. She handled the arts with great care as if they were her greatest treasure—just like she had with the manuscript for the second volume.
"Sure," I replied.
Since I had nothing else to do today, I decided to drink tea with Elma.
We chatted for about 20 minutes. I told Elma some plans for the third volume, and she liked what she heard. I told her not to get too anxious, as it might take me a little longer this time.
She said I could take as much time as needed but was clearly disappointed.
Well, there's nothing I can do. I need to focus on getting stronger and on the main story. This author's shit is just a side story.
However, this job is helping me get closer to characters like Ais.
I wonder how she's doing.
'Should I give her a gift?'
"What is it? Are you thinking about something?" Elma asked.
I got up from the chair Elma had brought for me and handed her the empty teacup.
"Elma, could you finish a copy by tomorrow?"
"You mean a complete book? With the cover and everything? But why? Do you want to see the final result?"
"That too, but I'm thinking of giving it as a gift to someone."
"Could that person be Goddess Hestia?"
"Maybe?"
"I'm curious..." Elma gave me a teasing smile. She tried to make me say something, but I didn't reveal anything.
I left the library thinking about how to surprise Ais.

When I returned to the mansion, the morning had just ended, and it was lunchtime. Lili was no longer at the mansion; it was just me and Hestia eating together.
"Did you hand over the second volume? When will it be published?"
"I think in the next few days. You're in for a surprise."
"A surprise?"
"An artist made art for the cover. I think you'll like it."
"You're making me curious! What does it look like? Tell me!"
"You'll have to wait for the second volume to be released."
"Noooo!" Hestia shouted. Of course, she was joking; she wouldn't be that dramatic… I think.
"But don't worry, it won't take long."
"Alright…" Hestia pouted.
When we finished eating, I decided to go to my room to grab my dagger.
I had to go upstairs, which reminded me of the "Inventory" skill. It seemed so incredible. It would be great to have an inventory to store all my stuff… I hate carrying a backpack around.
After grabbing my dagger, I prepared to leave the mansion, but Hestia stopped me.
"Hey, about that..." Hestia said with flushed cheeks.
"You want to do it now?"
"No, not now! I want to know if you're going to do it with me... I think I'm ready."
"If you want to do it now, I'm ready."
"No, go to the dungeon! Wait until I'm a bit more prepared!"
"But you just said you were ready."
"Just go. I'll be waiting here."
Hestia turned and ran to the second floor.
I confess I felt even more excited to go to the dungeon.
The anticipation of having sex with Hestia is going to help me slay even more monsters!
I've never felt so happy since I arrived in this world. Today is the day I finally have sex with Hestia! She's such a beautiful woman. And on top of that, I'll have infinite points!
But... right now, the most important thing for me is to use her pussy. It must feel so good to put my dick inside her.
With Hestia's pussy on my mind, I ran toward the dungeon.
