Deliverer!
When those two words appeared in The Hostess of Fertility, Hyacine and Barbara immediately stopped eating, both of them freezing in place.
They were no strangers to this title!
Whether for a honkai: star rail player or for Hyacine's role-player, this title held extraordinary meaning.
Because both identities knew the same existence...
The 'Deliverer' Phainon.
"What? Who's so bold to use the title 'Deliverer'? And two people at once?"
"Even the people from the Freya or Loki Familia wouldn't dare call themselves that, right?"
"They're not from Orario, they came from outside... supposedly two pretty and cute girls! Hehe!"
"Really? Then I'll have to take a look!"
"Don't worry, you'll get a chance to see them soon... After all, just this afternoon, the Apollo Familia suffered a loss at their hands."
"No way, it was actually the Apollo Familia?"
A brief conversation, but every sentence pointed the holder of the 'Deliverer' title in a certain direction, eventually converging on the two delicate girls.
"Ouranos moves fast!"
"Even though our talk wasn't that long, such rumors have already appeared throughout Orario... Should I say, as expected of the founding god of Orario?"
In both the anime and the original works, there isn't much introduction to Ouranos, nor much display of power.
So in most cases, this Great God exists merely as a powerful background character; His true capabilities have never been known.
However, as the rumors of the Deliverers appeared in Orario, Hyacine and Barbara understood one thing... even if Ouranos rarely acts, He is still a Great God with extraordinary abilities!
Just look at this power to manipulate public opinion. Ouranos simply doesn't want to interfere, hoping this city of Orario maintains its future possibilities.
If this Great God really took action, the strongest Familia in Orario would probably have to be renamed 'Ouranos'...
Hyacine and Barbara actually knew this would happen; they just didn't expect Ouranos to be so fast. They had only just finished talking, and the Deliverer rumors were already in the city.
In a few more days, wouldn't the whole world know?
Because Orario is set as the center of the world, everything that happens here is written into heroic sagas and sung by people across the globe...
"Do I also have to become... a Deliverer like Lord Phainon?"
"I'm afraid it will be hard. We aren't people who excel at fighting; we can't burn ourselves to carry the whole world like Lord Phainon did."
"Then what kind of Deliverers should we become?"
It was this very question that left the two girls looking troubled and unable to answer for a long time. Even though they had already learned from Ouranos that they would receive preferential treatment from all of Orario, they still couldn't hide the fatigue between their brows.
"Hahaha, this way, we're saved! Deliverers have come to save us!"
"Even the heroes of legend can't compare to a Deliverer, right? To think we'd meet them in our generation... what an honor!"
In the tavern, the laughter continued, but the two girls quietly left, as they really couldn't stand the talk about Deliverers.
But rest assured, they paid for their meal.
They were also given a hearty farewell by that grey-haired waitress before leaving.
Walking on the streets of Orario, Hyacine and Barbara looked up at the full moon in the sky, and the image of that original sun of destruction involuntarily surfaced in their minds.
The clamor of Amphoreus might have already turned into data and dissipated into the cycle, never reaching the future before the Trailblazer arrives. But the clamor of DanMachi always echoed around the two girls...
"As expected, we can't become Deliverers like Lord Phainon, nor can we maintain the world like Lady Kerridwen and Lady Aglaea."
"We are just ordinary doctors... besides healing methods, we know nothing."
"Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo! (And me, don't forget me!)"
Their spirits were sinking, but a sudden burst of rainbow-colored light interrupted the girls' thoughts.
Amidst the dazzling radiance, the rainbow pony Little Ika made her grand entrance, immediately lunging into Hyacine's arms.
While constantly nuzzling Hyacine, Little Ika even stretched out two legs to tug at Barbara, signaling her not to be downcast either.
"Hehe, of course we remember, Little Ika."
"After all, you are our most important partner. We even brought some food back for you!"
Feeling the sudden warmth and sunshine in their arms, Hyacine and Barbara finally smiled. Even knowing what kind of future awaited them, they would never be half-hearted.
"Yes, we can't become people like Lord Phainon, nor can we become pillars like Lady Kerridwen and Lady Aglaea... but even so, we will absolutely not give up!"
"Even if we have to give it our all, we will make everyone smile! Smile, smile!"
"Like the miraculous encounter between partners, I shall also build a beautiful rainbow for everyone under this pitch-black night sky!"
"We must create a 'Smile World'!"
According to the effect of the Spell Card 'Smile World'... Bah, bah, bah!
Never mind the effect, just tell me, did you smile or not?
"Doo doo doo!"
"Alright, alright, we know you're hungry. Let's eat after we get back to our lodgings!"
"I'll definitely feed you until you're full!"
Although the fatigue on the two girls' faces was still heavy, the gloom completely vanished along with the dazzling rainbow light.
Hyacine and Barbara, holding hands and carrying the cute Little Ika, headed to the temporary residence arranged by the Guild.
"As expected of Royman, this place is quite luxurious?"
If anyone else had asked Royman to prepare a residence, he would have definitely minimized costs, emphasizing 'as long as they can stay alive.'
But this time, the one who gave the order was Ouranos, and the subjects were Hyacine and Barbara, so there was nothing more to be said.
All configurations were set to the highest; Royman brought them the best of everything available in the city of Orario.
Although this would surely cost a lot of currency, compared to the position of Guild Head, it was simply not worth mentioning!
It seemed the two girls could indeed get a good night's sleep in Orario today, which would be their last moments of peace.
Because starting tomorrow, they would be the 'Deliverers' in everyone's mouths...
