Hearing that, Rosen showed a pleased smile.
Plot didn't matter as long as Hestia was still around.
The Blue Ribbon Goddess tops every isekier's must-collect list; can't miss her.
And luring her over is almost child's play.
There are generally two methods.
One: after Hephaistos kicks her out and she fails to recruit anyone, be the first to join her Familia and instantly earn a truckload of affection.
But becoming a Familia member? Rosen would rather it be the other way around.
The second approach is simpler.
Once Hestia's evicted she can't live off others anymore; feed her modern novels, movies, dramas and games and she'll gladly turn into a freeloader.
For now, though, he had to wait until Artemis opened world access.
The movie's only an hour long.
Since returning from the black bullet world it was late, so after Honjo Tokiya finished venting to Hodzuki Eiko and the others, they decided to wait for Yotsuya Miko's return before hearing the full story.
While the rest watched the film, Rosen turned to the gentle eyes beside him—Mio.
Not far away, the Spirits he'd brought back from the Date A Live World were all staring at him, tense and hopeful.
To them, Rosen was unquestionably the closest person alive.
He'd vanished for a whole day after bringing them over; if he hadn't warned them, they'd have thought they'd been abandoned.
Especially Kagami Nanase and Hoshimiya Mikuru.
Both girls had rough family backgrounds and weren't good at socializing.
Luckily, with Mio's comfort, they'd calmed down.
"Right, I haven't shown you around since we got back. How about I take you sightseeing this weekend?"
"Great!"
Mio would never object.
Having made Rosen her everything, she longed to devote body and soul to him.
The other Spirits had no complaints either.
They left every decision to Rosen.
Honjo Tokiya sounded a little sarcastic: "Master, when you say 'take a stroll,' you don't mean dragging us to some place crawling with evil spirits for training again, do you?"
"That's hardly a good spot for a date, you know."
"Ahem… that won't happen again. At first I only wanted you to see the other side of this world. Now that you already know, we just need to clear it out when we have time."
Rosen felt rather awkward at Tokiya's words.
After all, he'd asked them to abandon everything in their old world, only to leave them hanging—if you put it harshly, that was downright scummy.
"So rest assured, next weekend I'll take you out for fun."
Rosen said with a wry smile.
"Yay!"
Honjo Tokiya raised her arm in delight.
She'd seen too much ugliness in the previous world and badly needed something true, good and beautiful to relax her mood.
An hour passed.
Rosen spent it chatting with Mio and the other Spirit Familia.
"Actually, if any of you want to attend school, I can arrange it."
"I… I'll pass. I'm fine staying at home…"
Kagami Nanase lacked confidence in her looks; afraid that once people at school saw her real self they'd mock her, she refused to go.
Hoshimiya Mikuru had zero interest in talking with strangers—even if she went to school she wouldn't listen to a word.
In the end only the Yayoi Sisters chose to transfer.
"All right, I'll have Youxi handle your registration later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yayoi Yakumo asked expectantly, "Which class is the god in? Yakumo wants to transfer into that class."
"Concurrence—Yūka also wishes to be in the same class as the god."
"Fine, but given my current situation I won't show up at school often; I'll only drop by when I'm free."
Rosen said.
Though nominally still a student at Sobu High, such ordinary education no longer meant anything to him.
If there was any benefit, maybe meeting the heroines of slice-of-life series at school.
Rosen remembered there were still a few daily-life heroines at Sobu High he hadn't contracted.
Yukinoshita Yukino, Xiao Laofei, and Eriri among others.
Hearing this, the Yayoi Sisters looked stunned.
"Eh? We won't see the god often?! Then Yakumo doesn't want to go to school!"
"Agreement—a school without the god has no meaning!"
"Since you two already agreed, don't back out. Besides, attending school lets you keep an eye on Miko and Mai for me; as Spirits your starting point is higher than theirs."
Rosen said helplessly.
The Yayoi Sisters exchanged glances.
Though they wanted to see Rosen every day, acting spoiled now would only make him dislike them.
"All right, but I hope the god can grant me one wish then."
"Pointing out—Yūka also wants a wish!"
"Fine, as long as it doesn't break my principles, I agree."
Rosen said in resignation.
The moment he agreed, every girl in the living room turned her gaze on him.
"Um, god, I… I have a tiny wish too."
Hōzuki Eiko said sheepishly.
"I… I do too…"
Kagami Nanase buried her face under her hat.
Hoshimiya Mikuru stared straight at Rosen.
Mio instinctively grabbed Rosen's wrist, longing written all over her eyes.
Seeing this, Honjo Tokiya shouted, "Count me in too!"
