Eisen stepped out of the hall of Lust, where he had just taken challenge that took the longest beside Sloth to beat. Of course, the old man didn’t complain about that. He enjoyed his time in there quite a bit. But at the very least, Eisen understood why Satel said he would need a lot of stamina and that he should sleep not too long beforehand. The old man stretched out a bit with a loud groan. He had been in rather unusual positions the whole time during the past few hours, and some of them were so…-

Eisen slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling of the large hall after sleeping for quite a while. In the corner of his eyes, he could already see the notification that told him that he passed this challenge, but he felt a little bit too lazy to stand up, or even get rid of the notification right now. He just felt like sleeping a bit longer instead, closing his eyes and laying there for a while. However, as he did so, he could feel the edge of his sword pushing a bit into his abdomen. Eisen had…

"I didn’t expect to get so much money and materials out of it. Interesting." Eisen muttered quietly as he looked at one of the coins that he had one of hte mechanical spiders take out of the spatial gem built into it. But when he did so, he noticed something interesting... These coins had a different pattern on them than what Eisen had seen before. Sure, in the different countries of this world, coins had different patterns printed onto them, but as far as Eisen knew, he should be aware of every…

Eisen swung his sword to the side to get rid of the blood that had been stuck on it, watching as the body of the man with the perfect memory was repairing itself. And the moment that he was able to stand up again, Eisen slashed downward with his blade once more. Due to the sheer weight of the blade, combined with the old man’s strength and of course the support of the sword’s ego itself, the old man was able to cut through him with ease. The old man continued to do this over and over again, hacking…

Eisen found himself in a large hall filled with quite a lot of people talking amongst each other. It seemed like some sort of social-gathering of sorts. But rather quickly, the attention of those in the room was turned toward the old man that just entered. And the moment that they got a good look at him, their surprised expressions turned into smug grins. And it made sense to an extent, really. These people were all wearing extravagant dresses or suits, and things that they were showing off simply…

Eisen stood in front of the gate that he needed to walk through in order to reach the mortal realm again. He looked at Ari with a soft smile on his face, "It was pretty nice to talk to you again." The old man said, and the Supreme Goddess just held her hands behind her back and smiled back, showing a tiny bit of the sort of personality she had when Eisen first met her. "Likewise, Eisen." She said. The two of them had spoken about everything that needed to be spoken about by now, so all that the old man…

Eisen and Ari sat down together on two opposite sites of a large, round table. The two of them looked at each other, and for a little while, Eisen felt a little awkward since he was being stared at so much right now. But then, Ari finally said something. "Truthfully, I did not expect you to be able to reach this point as quickly as you did. It should have taken you a few more weeks to be able to finish your preparations to head to the heavens... I guess there were a few variables that I did not truly…

"B-But oh great goddess, what do you-" Ambriel exclaimed with a confused, nervous expression. It seemed like they never had the chance to speak to Ari before, and now that it finally came to it, they were being directly reprimanded like this. And of course, since she seemed rather angry and annoyed, Ari wouldn’t give Ambriel any chance to really speak, "What I mean? That you should get off your high horse, that is what I mean. Who are you to believe yourself to be greater than this man? You were born…

Eisen and Silmos continued to speak for a little while, just about anything that came to mind, really. Craftsmanship, different places in the mortal realm, and Eisen even told him about a few things about the other world. Silmos seemed incredibly interested in everything that the old man was telling him, and Eisen had nothing that he could complain about. He was quite happy to have been given this sort of chance in speaking to Silmos, since he was able to find out a couple of new things that he wasn’t…

Eisen and Ramsay continued to eat some of the giant Beef Wellington that they made together, and the rest was given to either the angels or the other cooks that were gathered around. The old man took a deep breath and once more took in the scents that were gathering around in this space. The atmosphere, these sounds, these joyful, honest expressions that everyone had on their face. They truly loved what they did, and Eisen was glad that he was given the chance to see them like that. "I think I should…
