The pendulum swings, as the sound of each small little tick could be heard rebrevating through the entire room.
"His late." Mitsuha commented.
Two siblings sat alongside four other females, as they awaited the return of a person they hadn't seen in months. Michelle had been nervously biting against her finger nails, the day the bug she planted on Dominic stopped showing his location.
Her actions had been so wierd, that even Titania found it a tad bit too eccentric.
For example, hugging a body pillow with a picture of Dominic and licking it. Sowing dolls of Dominic, and using the his hair to do something with a straw doll as well. Completely strange.
"Could that boy have lied?!" Michelle contemplated 103 ways to toture Matthew in her head.
"I'm sure he was just taking his time" Risha said optimisticaly.
She wasn't exactly convinced that his fine, seeing as the dungeon was something even the higher ups couldn't do anything about.
"Yeah, that's right!" Usagi followed up.
Then, as though it was on cue, the door swung open. They heard the door unlock from the outside.
And, Dominic appeared.
"I'm home" he said with a smile.
However, instead of a warm hug and smiles, the only thing the people present did was frown at him. Extremely angrily as well.
The reason?
There was lipstick stain on one side of his cheeks.
So instead of comming back, Dominic appeared to prioritize some random girl over them.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Benedict rubbed his right cheek to demostrate, and Dominic did the same. Noticing some lipstick on his hand, he realized he messed up slightly.
"WHO WERE YOU WITH?!" Michelle demanded.

The time dates back to a few hours ago.
Dominic had just saw death off, as he headed back towards the city. On the way, he decided to take a detour to see how the village he destroyed was doing.
When he arrived, he noticed a statue of himself built upon the town's square. Hailing him as the one true god.

"There's no way I'm allowing my siblings to even set foot in here" Dominic made that decision instantly. There were potatoes freshly baked and cooked in many ways, placed upon a nearby shrine. He took and tasted most of them. They were offered to him after all right?
"The god has descended!" he heard some shouts.
You have been officially reconigzed as the god of "Potatosia". Register this city under your protection? Y/N
"Ooh that's nice" Dominic accepted it.
And then, new options popped out.
Defence options:
Potato cannon. An automatic potato cannon will be summoned around the town. Cost: 3 worship points.
Potato Tree. Summon a tree that grows potatoes as its fruit. Cost:1 worship point.
Potato Bomb. Your followers in the town will instantly learn how to create bombs out of potatoes and potatoes only. Cost: 15 worship points
Current worship points: 9
Apparently, gods could do fun things like this as well.
Dominic stood around as more and more people came to worship him. Yet, the points remained the same.
Some of the female and male villagers came out, they bowed down infront of him and they began to offer him kisses. On the cheeks of course.
Dominic was confused. What kind of strange religion was started? Nevertheless, it does feel good to be worshipped. He spent the rest of his time summoning 6 potato trees in the middle of the square, placed around his statue with a gap to see it.
"I'm not that muscular" Dominic commented, as he saw himself with 6 packs and a muscular body frame.
It was a mystery how the strength stat worked.
The town was more of a village, as Dominic saw his followers rise to 132. It appears that the bonus stats gets lesser and lesser the more followers one had.
The rest of his time was spent standing next to a potato cannon and waiting for some wild moster to pass by. The potato cannon was shaped like a tube connected to the ground, and had the smell of a baked potato.
After a long wait, he decided to grab a wild goblin from the nearby forest himself.
The cannon instantly targeted, and fired off a high tempreatured mashed up potato. Melting down the goblin into nothing.
"The system sure thinks of some nasty stuff" Dominic thought, before realizing it was already night time and hurrying back home.
Hence leading to the current situation.
"Where have you been?!" a few voices demaned.
"I was walking around, and a few random people suddenly appeared and kissed me." Dominic said. It was the truth. But not the whole truth.
Michelle suddenly leaned over, and smelled his shirt.
"There's no scent. He may not be lying." Michelle said. Suddenly he appeared to be some criminal being interrogated in a Detective series.
"So, where were you walking around?" Mitsuha struck an important question.
"Near the city, I was appreciating nature after a while after all" Dominic smoothly covered it up. Mitsuha had her doubts. Her brother was one who couldn't care less about the enviroment. He occasionally steps over flowers without even batting an eye in a park when they were still in the midst of exploring the city.
"Well, whatever it is,its good to have you back" Benedict came in to the rescue.
"Yeah it really is." Usagi said.
"Now we can have proper food for dinner" she muttered. In to which, Mitsuha and Risha simply had a slightly shocked and hurt expression on their face.
"I have conquered the ways of cooking!" Titania broke the mood and declared.
"Welcome back" Risha was the only one who smiled and said that.
"!" Michelle was slightly alerted.
A slime bounced out of a room in the corner. Plop plop. It made the sound.
"I'm back" Dominic repeated.
