“You owe Sachel.”

The first words his god told him when he went up to the realm for the night, leaving Ben to give the cube a confused look.

“Why?”

“She helped make sure no angry mob would try to kick you out of town.”

“Wait, seriously? I mean, I know what happened and all but come on, I’m such a sweet little guy.”

“Eh, I’d say they had some valid points.”

“Apparently not valid enough.”

“Well, if we’re being serious it was just a few dissatisfied voices trying to raise trouble for you and Thera,” Myriad explained. “But lucky you, my oracle managed to quiet them down, with a bit of help from Ceselee and Aso too.”

“Okay, got it, I’ll make sure I make it up to them all when I get back. So everything’s good there now then?”

“I’d say as good as anyone could hope. You dealt with the majority of the issues yourself and any dissatisfaction has been squashed, all that leaves is whatever lingering trauma there might be but given how things are as a whole, that’s not exactly outside of the norm right now.”

“Alright, good enough I guess.”

He’d need to give some thought to if there was anything else in town he could do to smooth things over a bit more but that was a future problem, one he didn’t even care that much about at that. He’d done his best to handle the situation but by taking the blame on himself, things were guaranteed to be left a little awkward when he got back but there wasn’t much he could do to change that fact.

But it might be better to keep my distance for now to let things cool down anyway. The tower’s supposed to be a couple days away at this point, it wouldn’t hurt to stay here until then to let Mora get to know some of his extended family a bit more and then the tower will take me…

“Hey, how long does craftsmans’ tower take to finish up?”

“That was a bit of a non-sequitur.”

“It’s called curiosity, now come up.”

“Okay, fine. It’s a couple days of constant work although for a normal person, it would be grueling.”

“Not a fan of the implication behind that.”

“Please, I’d bet a lot of faith that you’re going to end up having fun with it, no matter the workload. Plus, given your talent at materialization, there’s plenty of potential floors that you’ll basically have the chance to bypass. If luck is on your side for what ones you end up with, this could be your fastest trial yet.”

“Alright, I love hearing that. Fast and easy are the name of the game.”

“So as per usual then,” His god commented. “And then once you’re done this tower and have your level, what’s then? A contender for how many skills-”

“Eight, once I get connect its level. I just leveled hive mind trying to make Bloom sane enough that he wouldn’t accidentally kill himself.”
