Here is the full translation, keeping the established names and terminology consistent.
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Demeter Familia's living room, casting warm patches of light across the wooden floor.
Genichi sat on the sofa with the back of his shirt pulled down, exposing his bare back.
Demeter knelt behind him and pricked her finger. Drops of divine blood fell onto his back.
Light flared.
The dense rows of letters and patterns began to change as new data slowly surfaced.
Genichi closed his eyes, feeling a newly born power flowing through his body.
It was warm and brilliant, like a flame burning deep within his soul.
It was Hestia's Authority.
The power of the Sacred Flame.
A force capable of purifying impurities, driving away curses, and resisting corrupting influences.
He had waited so long.
Planned for so long.
And now, he had finally obtained it.
"Done."
Demeter's voice came from behind him, carrying a faint smile.
"You can look for yourself."
Genichi opened his eyes and lowered his head, focusing on the Status displayed across his back.
The letters became clear before his eyes.
Line after line recorded his attributes, Development Abilities, magic, and skills.
His gaze eventually stopped on the final section.
The corner of his mouth slowly lifted into a satisfied smile.
[Love of the Goddesses]
Demeter's Love: Grants Development Ability, Farmer S
Astraea's Love: Grants Development Ability, Justice S
Loki's Love: Grants Development Ability, Deception S
Artemis's Love: Grants Development Ability, Hunting S
Hephaestus's Love: Grants Development Ability, Forging S
Hestia's Love: Grants Development Ability, Sacred Flame S
Sacred Flame.
Genichi stared at those words, an indescribable sense of satisfaction rising within him.
He had finally obtained it.
At last, he possessed a way to become immune to Ishtar's Charm.
That woman.
That woman who had forced him to endure for so long.
She was finally no longer a threat.
"So all that waiting finally paid off."
Artemis's voice came from beside him, carrying a teasing note.
"Does that mean you're going after Ishtar next?"
Genichi raised his head and looked at her.
Her aqua-blue hair gleamed softly beneath the sunlight, and excitement shone in her emerald eyes.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Ever since Ishtar first set her sights on Genichi.
Ever since Ishtar used Charm throughout Orario.
Ever since they had been forced to hide in the Great Tree Sea.
Artemis had wanted to see that woman pay the price.
"Is that even a question?"
There was a trace of impatience in Genichi's voice, and a cold gleam passed through his eyes.
"I've wanted to deal with Ishtar for a long time."
"If her Charm hadn't been so troublesome, I would've killed her already."
The moment Ishtar's name left his mouth, his expression turned ugly.
It was not fear.
It was not even simple hatred.
It was something deeper and more complicated.
Disgust.
That woman had trampled all over his dignity.
Her obsession, her madness, and her complete lack of restraint made him sick.
If he had not been waiting for Hestia's Sacred Flame Authority, he would have stormed into the Ishtar Familia's headquarters long ago, dragged that woman off her luxurious bed, and thrown her to the floor.
Astraea's expression remained calm, but determination shone in her eyes.
"What about the Guild? Who's going to explain this to them?"
"You."
Genichi answered calmly.
"You'll handle the Guild."
"I don't think Uranus will refuse. Ishtar used Charm on nearly all of Orario and altered the memories of gods and adventurers alike. That's a serious violation."
"The Guild has probably wanted an excuse to deal with her for a long time. They simply didn't have a proper justification before."
"Now they do."
Astraea nodded.
"You're right."
"Uranus has probably reached the limit of what he's willing to tolerate from Ishtar. The rules prevented him from acting against her directly before, but with us taking the initiative, I doubt he'll object."
"As for the Pleasure Quarter..."
Genichi's tone became even calmer.
"That's a minor problem."
"Someone else can manage it. The Guild has plenty of candidates who could replace Ishtar. If necessary, they can take direct control of it themselves."
Genichi had no interest in the Pleasure Quarter.
He had no interest in Ishtar's businesses.
He had no interest in anything connected to her.
He only wanted that woman to pay the price.
He wanted her to understand that there were some people she should never provoke and some things she should never touch.
"All right."
Astraea nodded.
"I'll take care of the Guild."
She turned and headed for the door.
Just before leaving, however, she stopped and glanced back at Genichi.
"Genichi, when are you planning to make your move?"
Genichi thought for a moment.
"Three days."
Astraea fell silent briefly, then nodded.
"Understood."
"I'll speak with Uranus as soon as possible and make sure he's prepared."
"Once you act, the Guild will immediately step in and stabilize the situation."
Genichi looked at her, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Thanks."
Astraea shook her head.
"No need. This is something I should do."
She opened the door and left.
Her footsteps gradually faded down the corridor until silence returned.
The living room became quiet.
Demeter walked over to Genichi and gently took his hand.
"Are you really going alone?"
Genichi shook his head.
"Not exactly."
"I'll take my shadows."
"And I'll take the powers all of you have given me."
"With the Sacred Flame Authority, Ishtar's Charm is useless against me."
"Her Familia members aren't my opponents either."
"This battle is already decided."
Artemis stepped forward and stood in front of him, determination filling her emerald eyes.
"I'm going with you."
At that moment, Hephaestus entered through the doorway carrying a brand-new longsword.
The blade gleamed sharply beneath the sunlight.
"This is for you."
"I forged it myself using the best materials I could get and the finest techniques I know."
"Its sharpness, durability, and magical conductivity are all top class."
"It'll be more than enough for dealing with Ishtar."
Genichi accepted the sword and weighed it in his hand.
The balance was perfect.
"Thanks."
His voice was quiet, but sincere.
Hephaestus shook her head.
"You don't need to thank me."
"You're mine. Of course I'm going to help you."
Genichi looked at her.
Then he smiled.
"Three days."
His voice was soft, yet carried an unquestionable resolve.
"In three days, this ends."
