The moment I heard the heavenly bell that announced our freedom, I quickly jumped out of my desk and ran out of the classroom.
I headed to the nearest grocery store and purchased two 6-packs of the cheapest glass-bottled sodas and a bag of bottle caps.
When I got home, I drank one, and after seeing I couldn't drink another, I painfully opened the rest up and spilled them on the kitchen sink.
"What a waste…. I need to buy some empty bottles online. Sadly after spending most of the class looking for something that could produce glass containers I still couldn't find anything."
After thoroughly washing the bottles and my hands, I placed my finger slightly above the opening of the bottle and began making the nectar.
Once the bottle was almost full, I opened the bag of golden bottle caps. After a good palm strike, the bottle became sealed.
I nodded as I looked at the white transparent bottle with the glowing golden drink and the golden bottle cap.
'This looks way better than Hermes's skypot thingy... Does that mean that I could sell it for more than Hermes said.... No, I won't get greedy. I should be happy that I can earn more than that Ainz guy. Besides, Hermes is still a god; who knows what he's capable of when a mortal goes against his words.'
After filling all 12 bottles, I could feel my body growing tired and hungry.
"Am I feeling like this because I didn't sleep last night or because of the divine nectar?"
I was pretty sure that I could get another 12 bottles ready, but I decided against it.
"Before I continue, I need to know what's happening to my body. Is it something that I can quickly recover from? Or could it be that my life force is being used to make this glowing liquid?"
After realizing it was a possibility, a shiver ran through my body.
I hid the drinks in my room and began making scrambled eggs. Once I had eaten, I went to bed for a quick nap.
When I woke up, it was already dark, which surprised me. I got out of bed and went to my mom's room, where I found her soundly asleep.
I sighed, walked over to her, and kissed her forehead.
"Sorry, Mom, I was so tired after my workout that I fell asleep again."
She smiled and shook her head while opening her tired eyes.
"It's alright, son, I know how much of a hard worker you are, haha."
I smiled and patted her shoulder, "Good night, Ma."
"Good night, son."
As I closed her room door, I looked at my hand and clenched it.
'While becoming stronger is important, I can't overdo it and end up disregarding the very person I'm growing stronger for.'
After making sure the pups knew to keep silent, I fed each one another chicken breast and gave them water in a bowl.
"I'm Sorry for keeping you guys in my shadow all day and only feeding you chicken breasts. It's only temporary, okay?"
The two pups were too busy eating and didn't pay me any attention.
"You guys were really starving, weren't ya"
I waited roughly half an hour before taking the glowing divine drinks out of the freezer.
As I focused my attention on the bottle in my hand, I thought of one word.
'Sell'
A second later, a golden screen appeared in front of me. On it, an image of the glowing bottle appeared surrounded by a black void.
[Are you sure you want to sell this item?]
'Yes'
The bottled drink disintegrated into a golden light when I gave my answer.

'I don't know the divine nectar's effects on the gods, so it's better to keep it short. While it makes it look sketchy, it keeps me from making mistakes. I'll have the product speak for itself.'
As I waited for someone to buy the nectar, I went to the system chat function. After searching for the name Hades, I finally found him.
- God Hades. I have no words for your amazingly incredible gifts. The two pups have been named Hinode and Nisshoku. In my language, it's a name that means Sunrise and Solar Eclipse, but I'm sure you must have known that. These 6 bottles of nectar are far from enough, but it's as much as I can spare at the moment. While I can't promise a daily gift, you have my word that I won't forget your kindness, and I will continue to repay your gift.-
'Add gift'
The 6 bottles I held disintegrated and appeared as an icon in the chat.
'Send'
[Warning—Free shipping via Hermes is currently unavailable. Only instant delivery is available. Do you accept a 10 DP charge?]
'Unavaible?..... Right, Hermes said that he was going to be gone for four years. Well, I'll have to wait till someone buys a bottle of nectar.'
A system notification greeted me as I lay in bed, patting the two pubs.

"Wha!!!---- I quickly shut my mouth since I didn't want to wake up my mom.
'Hermes, you truly are the god of thieves!!!!'
After calming down, I let out a defeated sigh.
'Well, nothing I can do about it. I still have to send the gifts to Hades to ensure he doesn't get angry.'
'Send'

'Now that I have points to work with, let's see what Hermes' gift is.'

I placed the item in the dimensional space, and as I was about to read the description, a notification ding caught my attention.
