Chapter 64: Quest 59- Goddess of The Hunt

Seeing a goddess before him Cirrus let his grip of the girl he had go and looked Artemis straight in her eyes.

“Artemis…as in the goddess that presides over hunting, the moon and chastity who is well known amongst the gods as one three virgin goddess? That Artemis?”

“You know of me but not my appearance?”

“Well Lady Astraea was light on the details, and I never figured I would meet one such as yourself way out here.”

“A-Astraea! Your one of her children!!” she quickly bowed in apology.

“Lady Artemis why are you-!”

            She then grabbed her children’s head and made them bow as well.

“My deepest apologies! I had assume you were the monster causing destruction of the surrounding area! Please let me talk to Astraea to clear up this misunderstanding!!” she said with agency in her voice.

‘What the fuck did you do to her Astraea??’

Cirrus lowered his temper and pushed forward.

“She isn’t here I am here with my partner to hunt and kill the monster on The Guilds orders.” Cirrus turns and jumps down to the ground below.

“W-wait!” she said coming after him, she slides down and quickly runs in front of him. “At least let me-“

“I’m busy, you assaulted me while I was investigating this ghost town. If you really wish to talk go to the mansion over there, my partner is waiting there.”

Cirrus then jumped onto another roof and quickly left.

Watching him quickly leave Artemis’s Familia came to her.

“Lady Artemis are you alright! You don’t have blood on you right!”

“No, I am fine but you Rethusa are you fine? he grabbed you pretty tightly?”

“Y-yes I am fine…my neck is rather sore but that kid…he moves so quickly I thought my eyes were messing with me.”

“He must be a powerful adventurer; Astraea must have sent her captain to come and slay this monster!”

“Well we should meet up with his partner.” Said one of the Familia members.

“Lets.”

Arriving at the home Cirrus disengaged his armor and quickly put on his base armor to heal his injuries and then removing it quickly.

“Nox I’m at the home.”

‘Got it, so um…another Familia is coming here, right?”

“Yeah, it’s the Artemis Familia along with their goddess.”

‘Hmm…well what did you find?’

“I found their Familia’s home here and.” Cirrus opened the door and entered it to find it completely stripped. Of anything with just tables and chairs. “I hope something.”

Cirrus looked around to see if there was anything, he searched top and bottom and found nothing.

‘God dammit…at least have a name, that will be good enough.’

He then left the home and returned to the mansion.

 

“Zephyr, was it?” said Artemis waiting for him.

“That is my name, why are you out here?”

“And why are you wearing that mask!?” she said in response.

Her eyes went down and found the wound she dealt was gone, even his running was back to normal.

“What?" Cirrus said walking pass her.

“…Did you use a healing potion?”

“I did.”

“But that doesn’t explain the bones in your hands!”

            She then grabbed his right hand and held it.

“A slight scar.” She looked at Cirrus. “You didn’t use a potion did you.”

“…Well a goddess of the hunt you truly are.” Cirrus removed his hand. “I have my own way of healing. Now shall we enter and discuss what we know or are you going to shoot me again to get answers?”

Her face slightly blushed in embarrassment.

“F-fine! But!” she walked up and turned Cirrus around to his face. “You must tell me how you met that spirit first!”

“Fine, we met in the desert, there you go.”

Cirrus turns around and left inside leaving Artemis a bit stunned.

“…What is this feeling in my chest?” she said softly as she places her hand over her heart.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Her heart was beating slightly faster, so she took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down.

“…What an unruly child you have Astraea.” She said walking into the mansion ignoring it and putting it in the back of her mind.

Once everyone were gathered Nox placed the Occulus, the magic crystal ball Fels gave Cirrus long ago.

The orb glowed and a voice came through.

“Hm! hm! Hello Nox! Cirrus!” said Astraea in a tone Artemis knew. “So when did you think to tell me you left Orario Cirrus? Hmmmmm??”

“Uhh about when Kaguya came back home pissed that I left without telling her. I also planned to tell you eventually.”

“So cleaver! But when you come back, I will give you a stern talking to!”

“Whatever, so can we begin the sharing of information? Or do you want Artemis here to shoot me a few more times as punishment for not telling you?”

As Artemis was about to apologize Astraea shouted.

“Good job!! That’ll serve you to not come to me so I can update your status before fighting a monster that has currently brought ruin to 3 kingdoms!”

“I was planning on coming back once I have its location down, I also didn’t plan on being away for so long if at all I’m doing is finding where the seal was broken and how.”

‘Waaaah…he handles Astraea so well! Usually when she’s in that mood she’ll stop at nothing till justice is served.’ Thought Artemis amazed by how skillfully he managed to curve her anger.

“Okay! That’s enough!” shouted Nox. “Let’s get this done!”

They all agreed and began to discuss the situation.

 

Up in the northern-western mountain range the Loviatar Familia arrived at a dwarven settlement.
