Author's Note: I meant to finish this for the first anniversary of “the stars are ravenous.” Obviously, that did not happen.
This story occurs after “the stars are ravenous” but before Hades ascends to the Convocation. Unfortunately, this means that a different person is serving as Emet-Selch at this time, who is referred to throughout the story as Emet-Selch.
Summary:
Instead, he thinks about how Hades will be waiting at home for him. Ordinarily, they would arrive at approximately the same time, but today he knows Hades left early because Emet-Selch, Hades' superior, had told him so in the very office where Hades works.
This means Hythlodaeus has twenty minutes to figure out how to break the news.
『Or, Hythlodaeus recommends Hades to the Convocation—without Hades' knowledge.』
