All sorts of discussions erupted as soon Tenestra finished her words and Line could only smile proudly among the girls expressing disbelief, awe, and fear.
Line clapped her hands to refocus their attention and said with a big smile, "And that's it. It may sound unbelievable and you're free to discard everything you just heard and saw. In any case, we answered your question regarding our Gods' safety. And if you still think we're lying, the only thing you can do now is rush towards the surface. Don't worry. No one's going to stop you and I think I'm close enough with Yoruichi-san and Serafall-san to ask them to allow anyone who wants to leave."
The wide smile on her face exerted an invisible pressure that even those from Loki Familia felt a little bit scared. The Line they knew wouldn't be able to emit this kind of menacing aura while wearing a joyful expression. She had truly changed.
The subsequent quietness was able to give Line a chance to finally answer their real question, "Before we entered the Dungeon, I also asked around about the sudden surge of people in the city. What I found was they were people from Altena trying to confirm the veracity of the rumor about Magic Control and the people from the Sword Smithing City Zolingham who came because Hephaestus-sama contacted some engineers over there to assist with the building of a smaller city outside of Orario to serve as a factory for the Magic Powered vehicles.
"There are other people who came from other places too, but not as many as from the former two. You could say that Orario is currently expanding, not just as a Dungeon Town and Magic Stone exporter, but also as a Research Center and for Magic Development."
After those passive-aggressive words, Mia sighed and stood up from where she was sitting, "That is more than enough. I've already heard what I wanted to hear. And it looks like the guest from Astarte Familia won't say anything since she hasn't seen how we do things around here. We'll take our leave. Have a great rest and I look forward to working with you."
Mia beckoned everyone from the Hostess of Fertility to follow her and aside from Ryuu, who hesitated a bit, everyone else followed her.
There was so much for everyone to digest and the Hostess of Fertility leaving created a similar idea in their heads. One by one, groups of girls slowly left and even those who didn't intend to leave had no choice but to follow the crowd.
As Riveria watched this, she thought that Mia had aimed for this because the moment she took her leave was too abrupt and precise.
Soon enough, only the inhabitants of the tent and the two new additions were left, "Looks like that group's activities are a lot more inconspicuous around here compared to what they were doing in my place."
"If they had no problems showing their dominating force, then that's probably true.", replied Riveria, "I apologize on behalf of everyone for earlier. I didn't think they'd all come here out of curiosity."
Tenestra chuckled and said, "It's fine~ It's actually really refreshing to see rival Familias having a civil discussion and end it at that. At my place, when you become isolated and have shown a clear disadvantage, you'd be lucky to get out alive."
The girls who had less experience tensed up but Riveria remained calm and replied, "I see. Looks like the Dizara Region isn't for faint-hearted individuals. Though I assume you'd also take advantage of your enemy in that position."
"Loki-sama!?" exclaimed all of her children.
Line, on the other hand, immediately turned her attention to the one who brought the medallion out, "Riveria-sama! This is!?"
Riveria smiled and answered, "It's a pair of Magic Tools that sends and receives sound when activated. I developed it back then while experimenting with various things and I gave the other half to Loki before we left for the expedition. I kept it a secret from everyone, because I wanted to use this as an advantage."

While talking among themselves, Serafall suddenly stopped speaking and held the side of her head, "What's wrong?" asked Yoruichi.
Serafall didn't answer for a few seconds until she closed her eyes to confirm something before nodding to herself and saying, "The surveillance barrier that I erected on the camp detected an outgoing communication Magic. It seems that Ria-tan was able to develop a Magic Item for communication. While it's primitive, to think she'd be able to do something like this so early on, it seems like we're underestimating them."
"That's amazing, isn't it?" Yoruichi let out a voice of admiration.
"It is. She only received the basic articles regarding Magic, but still managed to figure things out on her own and advance."
"But did she show any signs that she's capable of that?"
Serafall shook her head, "From the looks of it, she hid her level of competency."
"Heh~? If she can do that, I guess it's time to trust her with bigger things. I'll leave her to you, Serafall. If possible, I'd like her to take control of some of the barriers that Kisuke left behind."
"Of course, I can take care of her~ It's fun to see geniuses like her have fun while growing." Serafall happily agreed, "But only if she is capable of resetting her Level to 1. That's the minimum she has to do to go beyond this world's constraints."
