Alina has her festival fun cut short as she helps Silver Sword deal with yet another dark twin goddess. However, defeating Viena and Fiona is a bit tricky.
Last time, the Heitz team went to Mossy Rock Lake, hoping to defeat the dark goddesses. Well, Heitz got himself killed by those goddesses. Don’t let their cute looks deceive you. Viena and Fiona are the two goddesses with the same weapon. While Alina discovered that they are relatively weak and unskilled, the problem is that they regenerate.
Alina and Jade tried taking them on at once. Jade uses a combination skill, while Alina uses her hammer. While it looked like it would work, sadly, it fell short as they returned. Eventually, Viena bites Fiona’s dark gem to combine into one powerful goddess named Vilfina. However, they lose intelligence in exchange. They managed to inflict a wound on Alina, and healing it seems very difficult for Lululee.
While Jade distracts Viena and Fiona by saying they are the inferior dark goddess. After all, they are a failure since the seal is split apart. They didn’t like that. Lululee tries to heal Alina, but it appears not to work. Lululee thinks she is useless. However, when Alina wakes up and shows she will not give up, Lululee decides to keep trying. She did and managed to pull it off, although she was almost at her limit.
While Alina is unconscious, she remembers seeing a soul-resting ceremony that sends off the souls of adventurers who passed on. When the amulet shined in her pocket as she looked at the ceremony, she knew she had to act to save Jade from the twin’s attack. Eventually, Viena and Fiona merged as Alina. Alina, of course, finishes them off as she gets angry over them ruining her festival time. After all, she worked so hard to finish all the overtime work so she could go to the festival. With that, Alina finally defeats Viena and Fiona. At least everyone seems to be safe in the end.
As for the festival, Alina prepared a bottle with daisy flowers that she plans to use for the soul-resting server. Yep, Alina revealed it was for an adventurer named Shroud, that she was close with. She gives Jade the pleasure to light it and tells him not to die before she says to forget what she said. Of course, it’s funny to see Alina chastise the adventurers who work with Alina, as they are the reason she is forced to do overtime.
Aside from that, Alina finds out that this soul-resting ceremony is more cheerful than expected. I guess it’s because she didn’t get to participate in it since she had to do overtime during the festival. That said, is Alina getting new employee training despite having worked at her job for three years? I wonder what this is about.

@chikorita157 Alina remains a great character. The whole show really rests on her character. Sure there’s some tsundere there, but the straight forward gag of her being far more powerful than anyone else reminds me a bit about One punch man.
Plus her not wanting overtime never gets old. I feel that one to the bones.
Solid show.
The dark god being two small children though, hmm. Hope we get more hateable dark gods next. Maybe an MBA?:)
Agreed, Alina is a fun character for sure.
While the dark young goddesses are cute, but then again, wouldn’t be those dark gods be the MBA that forcing Alina to do more overtime because the guild refuses to hire more workers?
@chikorita157 There’s probably a limit to how meta one can go in a show like this:) But if the “owners” of the guild are also behind the dark gods it would truly come full capitalism circle:)
That said the guild master clearly promised something that he is not living up to. More workers. I hope he gets a hammer to the face for that one.
Also I thought it was refreshing to see her angry at the workaholic.
Stands up on soapbox:
“Work ethic” is one of the truly evil expressions. It’s just a euphemism for being a good little worker and being exploited as much as possible and being a workaholic.
It should be our goal to work as little as possible in our lives.
