On a lark Satou decides to join a carving competition. Using some high quality wood and a maxed out skill, he creates a statue of high enough quality to allow a goddess to descend and join the gang and be a tourist in the mortal world. Entertaining shenanigans follow. Meanwhile dragon eggs are stolen, and while Satou leaves it to his employees, he cannot stay out of it regardless of his wishes.

Much like previous volumes in the series it is a mostly slice-of-life travel journal with fun and entertaining characters enjoying their mostly carefree exploration of the world. I keep being surprised how much the author keeps each character distinct even if neither the characters nor story are deep and well developed. We do get to see a bit more of the world through the goddesses and events near the end which are intriguing. Of course, things don't get too challenging for Satou, but that should not come as a surprise 22 volumes into the series.

All in all, a good entertaining read and nice palette cleanser in between more serious stories.

The Goddesses Descend

Satou makes sacred vessels for three of the goddesses; Karion, Urion, and Tenion. They go on a sightseeing tour throughout some of the world’s cities and defeat beings that the goddesses refer to as the Discordant Ones. Satou is immune to the proclamations of the goddesses, but it isn’t clear why that is.

Wonderful

Man, oh man. So this series has been in a lull for a while due to its comfort style, but the last few books have been piquing my interest once again and excited to see where it's heading to.

another fun adventure

Truly another fun adventure with Sato and the girls. Can’t wait for the next one to hot the shelves. Already preordered

A bit of exploration into the goddesses' lore.

The story would be better if a certain one-liner comic relief character was bound to the World Tree

Largely more of the same. Some of the discussions surrounding the role of the gods in this world was interesting.
