Chapter 91 – Don’t disappear again.
I left Ishtar's mansion before distributing all the points I had earned because I wanted to get home as quickly as possible. But before heading home, I stopped by the library to talk to the owner.
"Hey, Elma, how are you?" There was a large shelf with several copies of my book. A good portion of the books had already been sold.
"Luan!! You finally showed up. Tell me you have good news."
"About that, I've finished the second volume."
"Really? You—"
"But I didn't bring it. The Goddess wanted to read it, so I let her have a look before bringing it to you. She's probably finished it by now, but I've been out all day and didn't have time to go home. I just came here to let you know I'll bring it tomorrow morning."
"I see, no need to worry."
"And how are the sales?"
"Are you here to collect your money?"
"No, there's no need. You can keep it for now. I don't need money at the moment."
"Alright. The sales are great! Even though most people in town have already read it, it's still selling well... But if you want more money, you'll need to publish the second volume as soon as possible. People are really anxious for it."
"I see. I'll bring it tomorrow morning. I'm heading home now."
"Of course, have a great night."
"Oh, right, it's already getting dark."
I had woken up in the middle of the night in Aisha's bed, but I'd spent so much time with Ishtar that it was getting dark again. I've been away from the mansion for more than a day.
Damn, I need to get back quickly.
"See you later."
"See you."
I ran through the streets back to the mansion.

A chill ran down my spine when I walked through the front door. I felt someone right behind me and turned around.
"Tell me where you've been. Why did you disappear for more than a day? I was worried about you!"
"What's wrong? Did you miss me that much?"
"Why did you disappear?"
"I'm sorry, an emergency came up. I won't do it again."
"You better not! If you do it again, I'll be really mad!" Lili let go of me and wiped her tears. "But I'm glad you're okay. I was really worried about you."
"Why were you and Hestia so worried? Don't you trust that I'm strong enough to protect myself? Hahaha." I patted Lili's head. "Don't worry too much about me."
"How can I not worry?! You said those things..."
"Are you talking about Soma? I didn't go to the Soma Familia, don't worry."
"Where were you then?"
"I went to the Ishtar Familia... But that's a secret."
"A secret?"
"Want to take a bath with me?"
Lili didn't answer. She wondered what I might have been doing at the Ishtar Familia.
I let her think about it and went to take a bath.
While I was bathing, Lili came into the bathroom completely naked. She helped me wash my entire body, but in the end, we didn't do anything sexual.
Afterwards, I grabbed the second volume and put it in my backpack. We went downstairs to eat something; before we knew it, it was time for bed. I slept with Lili, although I wanted to sleep with Hestia.
I could have had sex with two goddesses in one day, but it didn't happen.
When I woke up, I felt pain all over my body—an extremely unpleasant pain.
'Probably because of yesterday. The system pushed my body to the limit.'
I struggled to get up, and as soon as I stretched, the pain almost instantly eased. Lili woke up, and we went downstairs together for breakfast. I brought my backpack with me since I was going to the library.
Lili decided to come with me.
After having breakfast with Hestia, Lili and I left the mansion to head to the library.
But when we got there, the place was a mess.
