"Lidas?"
At that moment, Anima was stunned.
It was not just Anima. Even Aiyi, Sela, and Roxie were taken aback.
Shien was stunned as well.
After all, Roxie had made it very clear that the Goddess of Fate was an incredibly stubborn person.
Under such circumstances, Shien had not actually expected this strongest of goddesses to apologize to him.
All Shien had wanted was an explanation from her, so she would not think he was someone she could knead and squash however she pleased.
Yet Lidas was unexpectedly decisive. After being lectured by him, not only did she fail to fly into a rage out of embarrassment, she even intended to apologize to him.
What... was going on here?
Shien and everyone else present were left puzzled.
Unaware of everyone's confusion, Lidas seemed to have thrown caution to the wind as she stood up.
"I'm sorry! I was too impulsive!"
Lidas apologized with remarkable straightforwardness, without the slightest attempt to beat around the bush.
That itself was not a problem.
The real problem was that, as she apologized, Lidas bent over with such force that she appeared to be preparing to bow to Shien.
Then—
"Bang!"
With a heavy, muffled thud, the Goddess of Fate's forehead slammed hard into the table before her.
That was right.
Because she had bowed too forcefully, Lidas had crashed into the table in front of her.
"Ow!"
Lidas immediately clutched her forehead and let out a mournful cry as she forcefully raised her lowered head.
But the moment she lifted it, Lidas leaned too far backward, and her feet slipped right out from under her.
"Ah!"
Thus, Lidas cried out again and fell hard onto the floor.
"Lidas!"
"Lady Lidas!"
"Goddess Lidas!"
Anima, Roxie, and Anxi all cried out at once.
