Chapter 146: Hestia can't give up!
Hestia knew that there wasn't much that she could do, so when she saw something that she could do for him, she grasped it without hesitation.
"Hephaestus, I beg you! Help me to make weapons for Isao-kun!"
Hephaestus, who had been busy, was confused and asked with a doubt, "What's happening?" Her lover, Isao, hadn't visited her, and she thought that he was busy with the dungeon, trying to get stronger, but it seemed that even if they had just been separated in a few days, many things had happened to him.
"Isao-kun is targeted by Apollo."
"What?!" Hephaestus' expression was ugly, and she quickly asked, "What's happening? Tell me from the beginning!"
With a helpless and heavy expression, Hestia told her best friend what was happening, from their meeting at the pub to being called to the guild, solving the problem, being attacked at their home, and then challenging the Apollo Familia on the War Game.
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
Hephaestus was so angry at this moment that if she knew this, then would she let Apollo succeed?
Or rather, she was going to destroy the Apollo Familia!
Did Apollo think that he could touch her lover?
Her hands clenched tightly, and she wished to tear this bastard up!
"How can we tell you?" Hestia looked at Hephaestus helplessly and said, "It's our problem, after all. Moreover, he wishes to fight, and all I can do is to support him..." As his goddess, she was even more helpless since she could see how stubborn Isao was, but no matter what, she was going to support him.
"....."
'That guy...'
Hephaestus let out a helpless sigh as her shoulders slumped. Even though she couldn't see him, she could see him smiling, telling her not to worry, then silently did everything on his own.
"Why did you cry?" Hestia looked at Hephaestus, who suddenly cried.
"No-Nothing." Hephaestus wondered why Isao didn't rely on her since if he asked her, she could destroy the Apollo Familia. "So, he really plans to fight this battle alone?"
"Yes."
"...."
"...do you think that he can win?"
"I don't know, but his mind is more clever than mine, and he is full of tricks."
"..."
Hephaestus was in silence, and a cute blush appeared on her cheeks, thinking about the various tricks that made her body itchy. Still, this wasn't the time to think about that, and frankly, she wished to kill Apollo now.
"Weapons, right? You don't have to worry. I will make them for you."
Frankly, Hephaestus tried to make weapons to make him happy, thinking of them to make them as a gift so his heart could be on hers all the time. At that moment, she was like those men who worked hard to make their women happy. For him, she was going to make the best weapons!
"Really? Thank you, Hephaestus!" Hestia was so happy that she hugged her dear friend without hesitation.
"...don't thank me." Hephaestus felt guilty somehow since she knew she dated Isao secretly.
"But is that okay?"
"It's fine, but you have to pay me." Hephaestus didn't really want Hestia to know about her relationship with Isao since it felt like she had betrayed Hestia's trust somehow, so she just kept quiet about their relationship.
"Okay! No matter how long it is, I will pay for it!" Hestia nodded without hesitation. Like how he would do anything to defend her dignity, and she would do anything to help Isao.
"Weapons aside, the most important thing is Denatus." Hephaestus looked at Hestia with a serious expression and said, "I will go with you. If possible, I will try to get my Familia members on this."
"No, it's fine. You have helped us enough with the weapons."
"No, I will help you!"
"Apollo isn't stupid. He is cunning, so I am sure that he will try to do anything to prevent you from helping us in the War Game."
"I am not saying something stupid, and don't be stubborn! Do you want him to be molested by Apollo?!"
When Hephaestus thought that Isao was going to be touched by Apollo, she felt that she was going crazy!
"Believe him."
"He is just a Level 1 adventurer!"
"He is going to become a Level 2 adventurer now." Hestia looked at Hephaestus and said, "I know that you are going to doubt him, but he is special."
"...I know that." Isao was special; even Hephaestus knew that, especially when she tried to see his back when they were together, but she could see nothing. "So where is he now?" While it surprised her that Isao was about to become a Level 2 when he had just become an adventurer in a week or so, what could he possibly do against hundreds of enemies?
She had to talk to him, trying to make him rethink his decision, even though she knew that it was futile since, like Hestia, she could also feel how stubborn he was and the lack of respect that he had for the deity.
When Hephaestus thought how Isao had stopped her from calling her by "-sama" and often made her into such a humiliating position, she could only sigh helplessly, wondering why she could follow his bidding, yet she couldn't deny that his play was fun and joyful~!
"Why is your face red?"
"No-Nothing! Anyway, where is he?"
"He is in the dungeon, training. He told me that he would go back in six days."
"...so no matter what, he will fight?"
"Yeah."
"....." 2x
The two looked at each other and let out a helpless sigh.
"He is going to win."
"He will."
After all, they could tell how different he was, but it was impossible for them not to be worried.
"I will follow the Denatus later and try to finish the weapons as soon as possible."
"Thank you."
After Hestia got the promise and help from Hephaestus, she subconsciously went to the house that Isao bought for them. The place where they would have lived if there had been no such thing as an Apollo Familia.
"Hestia-sama!"
Hestia turned and saw Eina, who appeared anxious, feeling helpless inwardly by the popularity of Isao. "Are you looking for Isao-kun, Advisor-kun?"
"Ye-Yes."
Isao hadn't even apologized to her, but Eina couldn't care, especially when she knew about the War Game.
"He is in the dungeon. He won't come back till six days later."
"I see, but what about the War Game? What is he going to do?" Eina asked anxiously.
"He is going to fight."
"With whom?"
"Alone."
"..." Eina.
"But... but..."
"It's impossible to stop him, so I can only support him."
Eina fell in silence, thinking of a young man who made a sneak attack by smashing a chair on the head of someone, busting someone's balls, and then announcing that he was innocent in front of everyone.
Eina felt helpless and also wondered how someone could be so naughty and a scoundrel, yet her heart was already stolen by him, so even if he had messed up and torn her heart, she couldn't forget and worry about him.
Yet, there was nothing that the two could do except wait.
'Six days...' 2x
Still, as they parted, Hestia didn't intend to sleep in their new place but returned to the abandoned church where she had lived before she met him and lived together for so long. Along the way, they met various people, but most of them were beautiful women who asked her about him.
While she was speechless, she answered them.
"Hestia-sama, how is Isao-kun?"
"Where is he?"
"Are you all right?"
Yet, as the number kept increasing and she was stopped by the waitresses and the owner of Hostess of Fertility, she couldn't help but think about the last exchange she shared with Isao.
'I am going to make a harem!'
Watching all the beautiful women who kept asking her a question, Hestia grumbled and then made a vow.
'I won't allow it! He's mine!'
However, it was all too late, and like influenza, his charm had already spread everywhere, causing many women to be in love.
Still, like how she was helpless to stop him from fighting, she probably also failed to stop all of those vixens.
Nevertheless, Hestia could think about all of those things later, especially when the Denatus started and the fight that was about to determine everything was about to start.
---
I know that some of you are dissatisfied since he appears weak and why he didn't fight right away, but if he had a reason, it would be the War Game.
If he fought right away, he wouldn't get anything and would even be treated as a criminal, but if it was a War Game, then...
By the way, what do you think of the Isekai story?
If there is something that you recommend, can you suggest them here?
Frankly, besides Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi, I am also interested in Mezase Gouka Kyakusen!!
Well, let me know.
By the way, I have added more chapters, so there is a total of 50 advanced chapters on my... you are clear, right?
Lastly, is there a narrative that a deity can't get pregnant in "Danmachi"?
