Kapitel 138: Beat them first, then talk later!
Hostess of Fertility.
Out of all the pubs in the Orario, Isao didn't expect Eina to bring him to this pub. Yet, this also made him tense and slightly nervous since he knew that this place was the most dangerous goddess often played.
However, it didn't matter since he had the skill of the protagonist, and more importantly, if he could gain the DNA of that goddess, then this world would be as good as his.
Or rather, with his second ability, which allowed him to control all the beings whose DNA was recorded inside his body, this world was as good as his!
However, the strength he sought came from inside, which came from mind and body.
At the same time, he was also a good person, so he didn't have a hobby of controlling others like a mindless doll that would listen to his every order.
Once again, he was a good person.
Nevertheless, this place was like a bountiful hunting ground where he could eat any delicious DNA, which made him grateful to Eina.
Yet, while Isao was nervous and excited about the new abilities that he might receive soon, Eina was uneasy and anxious, especially when Hestia kept staring at her with a stern and appraisal gaze like a mother-in-law, who observed her daughter-in-law with a cynical gaze.
"I-Isao-kun, why did Hestia-sama look at me like that?"
"She is nearsighted and forgot to bring her glasses."
"I'm not nearsighted, and I don't wear glasses!" Hestia refuted, then asked Eina in a questioning tone, "So, your name is Eina Tulle, right?"
"Ye-Yes!"
"You are Isao-kun's advisor?"
"That's right." Eina nodded, almost crying, and said, "I-I have taken care of him after he came to the guild." When she thought of their meeting, she had never thought that she would go on a date with him, creating a beautiful memory, and at the same time, she didn't expect that the minor goddess, whom he had followed, was so obsessed with him. Yet, she also understood why Hestia loved him so much, but even if her opponent was a goddess, she didn't want to lose.
"Ugh..." However, hearing Eina's words, Hestia felt like she had taken a hit since, except for giving Isao a blessing and sometimes cooking for him, she depended on him so much. At the same time, she also thought about the conversation she had with Isao, who asked her whether she would stop him when he had a romance with someone.
While she hesitated, she agreed to let him, but when this happened, her heart couldn't bear it!
She felt that she couldn't breathe, and her heart was torn apart.
Was this the feeling of love that everyone often said?
Why was it so painful?
The thought of him being with other women other than her put her in pain, and as expected, she didn't want him to be in a romance with others!
Nevertheless, when the three sat together, they attracted all the eyes.
As a goddess, Hestia was naturally beautiful. Moreover, with her petite body and cute appearance, she appeared lovely in the eyes of many. At the same time, those jugs of hers were so haughty, trampling the dignity of any woman who saw their magnificence.
Yes, she might be petite, but even so, her charm wasn't lost to anyone.
On the other hand, as a half-elf, Eina's charm didn't lose to a goddess. She had this gentle and intellectual charm that made people feel comfortable staring at her for so long.
Lastly, Isao, the only man between them, also attracted many eyes, especially when his appearance wasn't lost to any gods. Moreover, even if he appeared gentle, everyone could feel the heroism and manliness that oozed out from his body. The two types of charms that shouldn't appear together mingled, creating a new charm, which made people unable to understand him.
At the same time, even Isao was quite famous, especially when his appearance was hard to ignore, and everyone also had seen how he fought in the dungeon with his poleaxe and saber, slaying any monsters within his sights swiftly and coldly like a machine that was created to bring a disaster to everyone in this world.
Yet, despite their brightness, no one thought to approach them because they would subconsciously feel inferior to their group.
In the original story, Bell Cranel was often provoked and underestimated, but all of that happened because his appearance made people think that he was easily provoked and that it was okay to underestimate him.
On the other hand, while Isao wanted to be low-key, his appearance, mixed with the charm of the god, the higher being worshipped by everyone, made people not dare underestimate him, even if he might be a Level 1 adventurer.
Still, Isao somehow felt an intense gaze from his side.
"Is there something wrong?"
Isao looked at the cute girl with bluish-gray hair that she kept tied with a small knot in a ponytail hairstyle.
Yes, she was beautiful, but she wasn't an exception. She had no doubt stolen the hearts of many and rejected them with a cute devilish smile as if she had done nothing wrong.
In other words, she was a slut, Isao thought.
Still, as a good person, he thought that he had a duty to educate such a woman so they could be their better selves tomorrow.
"Ah, no, no. I am sorry for staring at you, but it is your first time here, right? My name is Syr Flova. I am glad that you have come. Let me give you a recommendation. Is that okay?" Syr looked at Isao and never glanced at Eina and Hestia.
"I don't mind, but what about you two?" Isao looked at Hestia and Eina.
"Sure." 2x
The two nodded at the same time and quickly focused their gazes on Syr.
"Okay, I will get the three servings for you three~!" Syr said happily with their orders. "By the way, our wine and fruit liquor is good."
"Oh, is there anything other than alcohol?" Isao asked.
Syr tilted her head and asked curiously, "You don't drink alcohol... sir?"
"Iinuma Isao. You can call me, Iinuma."
"Okay, Iinuma-kun~! You can call me Syr~!"
While saying that, Syr extended her hand toward Isao, which he held softly.
[You have acquired Freya's DNA.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
"..."
Isao felt nervous inwardly, but he also clenched his fist excitedly.
"Then, Syr, are there any other drinks than alcohol?" Isao asked.
"Well, there is milk. Is that okay?" Syr asked Isao curiously, wondering whether he was okay with milk since everyone often thought that drinking milk was for children.
"Okay." Isao nodded, but at the same time, he sighed, thinking that water was more difficult to get in this era than wine. Still, this also made him think that he should create his own water distillation.
"...." Syr, Eina, and Hestia.
"Boy, you should drink alcohol!" Suddenly, the huge female behind the bar looked at him with an intimidating gaze.
"No, I don't drink alcohol."
"You are not a man if you don't drink alcohol."
"Whether I am a man or not, it isn't something that is decided by alcohol." Isao didn't show fear toward this woman, who appeared intimidating, and said, "Or are you unconfident in other drinks than your alcohol?"
"Oh? You dare to say that! Wait for me to prepare something to surprise you!"
Hearing Isao's provocation, Mia Grand, the owner of Hostess of Fertility, started to prepare something to surprise him.
Naturally, his act was seen by many, and they somehow wanted to clap their hands since it was their first time seeing Mia Grand defeated like this.
While Mia had retired, she was once a famous strong adventurer in the past, so the act Isao provoked Mia, even if he didn't drink alcohol, made him qualified as a man since those who drank alcohol didn't dare to do such a thing, so those who were ready to provoke him could only look away and sigh helplessly, wondering why some guys were too handsomely made them cry.
Still watching Mia's back, Isao sighed. If she were a little slimmer, then she might be within his range of target.
'As expected, Demeter is the only one...' Isao murmured before locking the devil within his heart. He had continuously done a good thing, and he hadn't committed a single sin in this world, so he hoped for this to continue.
Frankly, this surprised him, but he thought that he must have grown up, so that was why he would try to avoid Demeter as far as he could since he knew that this woman was the existence that would pull him into the deep ravine that he was unable to climb!
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Hestia felt that Isao's gaze on her was quite strange, which somehow made her happy.
"No. I just think that you are cute." Isao patted Hestia's head gently since his goddess's ravine wasn't lost to anyone.
Feeling this pat, Hestia was happy and looked at Eina with a provoking gaze.
Eina rolled her eyes and said little since she felt that Isao treated Hestia more like a little sister than a woman.
"Your relationship is good," Syr said with a smile.
"Right?"
If possible, Isao wanted Hestia and Eina to be peaceful with each other and share him with each other, but it needed a process.
Nevertheless, with Isao as the lubricant between Hestia and Eina, their relationship also eased. Yes, there might be a lot of beautiful women in this pub, but his focus should always be on Hestia and Eina.
Still, this made those waitresses, who had always been flirted with by many, feel a bit bitter, wondering whether Hestia and Eina were really that good as Isao hardly paid attention to them.
"Here is your order."
But then their conversation stopped when Mia came with their order.
Isao's lips twitched and said, "In the end, you bring milk, huh?"
Mia snorted and walked away, feeling angry, thinking that she should develop a more non-alcoholic menu so this guy wouldn't be so infuriating!
"Fufufu..." Syr laughed. "It's my first time seeing Mama that way. Iinuma-kun, you are so good at teasing people."
"...shouldn't you work instead of sitting with us here?" Isao looked at Syr, who joined them somehow.
"It's fine. It's fine. Your conversation was nice. I want to hear more."
"...." 2x
Hestia and Eina rolled their eyes, thinking that this vixen wanted to seduce Isao.
"Mama, did you hear that? You should take away Syr's salary for today."
Mia glanced at Syr and said, "I will deduct your salary today."
"Ah, how mean~! Mama, Iiinuma-kun, you bully me~!" Syr cried as if the two had bullied her.
Nevertheless, their dinner was fun, even with Syr, who joined them, especially when Isao showed them his ability to create ice and made his milk cold.
"Ah, you can create ice?" Hestia was dumbfounded since she didn't remember that Isao had shown it before.
"It isn't a strong ability, and I just got it lately, but it is nice for a drink. Let me give you some." Isao put ice on Hestia's fruit liquor, which she drank cautiously before her eyes brightened. "It's delicious!"
It was just a difference in temperature, but somehow, it had become more delicious!
"Isao-kun, can I get too?" Eina asked.
"Ah, me too!" Syr also asked.
"Let me try too," Mia also joined.
"...Eina aside, I am a customer, you know? If you act this way, aren't you afraid that I won't come again?" Isao asked speechlessly.
However, Syr, Mia, and others all of them looked at them with a gentle smile.
"...."
Isao sighed, thinking that a good guy had always been bullied, but it didn't matter since if they pushed him further, then be prepared; he was going to bully them back~!
Anyway, their dinner was happy, but Hestia felt that she needed to go to the toilet. "I am going to the toilet first. You two don't seduce him." She looked at Syr and Eina and cautiously said.
"But what if he seduces us?" Syr asked curiously.
"No, he isn't. Isao-kun is a good boy!" Hestia said confidently.
"...." Everyone.
Good boy?
Which part of him?!
"You are right. You can't seduce me, okay?" Isao nodded at Hestia's words.
Chloe Rollo, a cat girl waitress with short black hair and slender body, laughed heartily at Isao and asked, "Are you a virgin, nyaa?"
"I am." Isao nodded innocently like a pure boy who had never known a woman's body, causing Syr, Mia, and the others to roll their eyes.
"Then, do you want this Onee-san to teach you a woman's body, Nyaa?" Chloe bit her lower lip as her eyes were lustful, staring at him.
"Chloe-chan, do you want Mama to throw you out?" Syr looked at Chole with a sweet smile.
"Ah, do you want more liquor? Let me get you more, nyaa~!" Chloe quickly walked away to the other customer, trying to run away.
"Mama, your waitress is going to seduce me," Isao reported to Mia, which caused her to snort.
Seduce?
Who seduces who?
Even if Mia was blind, she could tell that this young man was so naughty!
Yet, she didn't hate it since his joke was subtle and harmless. Instead of pushing his way in forcefully, he pulled them closer to them like a metal that was attracted by a magnet. Moreover, he also wasn't aggressive, and frankly, she was tempted by him.
Still, if Isao knew what Mia was thinking, he would... would...
Anyway, the dinner was fun and vibrant, but this also made Hestia feel tense since she could tell that even without her, Isao was fine, which made her helpless.
While she wondered what she should do, as Isao enjoyed his dinner, a group of people with similar uniforms came so suddenly, causing everyone to look at them curiously.
Yet, this group of people ignored all of them and walked toward Isao.
Isao didn't pay attention to them, but they came to him.
"You are Iinuma Isao?"
Isao, who was drinking his iced milk, looked at this group of people, feeling helpless inwardly. "Yes. You are?"
"My name is Hyakinthos Clio. I am the leader of the Apollo Familia. I am here to tell you that Apolllo-sama is interested in you and is grateful that you have received his invitation to enter his Familia!"
While Hyakinthos felt jealous that Apollo had fallen to this young man, he also understood why Apollo had fallen to him.
Or rather, he would be lying if he didn't feel tempted by Isao.
Only Isao felt a shudder of disgust from this young man's gaze.
"Isao-kun..." Eina looked at Isao worriedly, and he looked at her with a reassuring gaze.
"Isao, do you want me to throw them out?" Mia somehow decided to help Isao.
Or rather, all the waitresses in the pub stared dangerously at the group of Apollo Familia. After all, they knew the reputation of this Familia well.
Isao, a handsome, innocent, and pure boy, would definitely be devoured to death by this group of homos!
"It's fine. I can handle this on my own," Isao said calmly and didn't feel threatened even if he was surrounded. Moreover, those who surrounded him had a Level 2, and Hyakinthos was a Level 3.
"So, what is your answer?" Hyakinthos asked.
However, before Isao said anything, those followers started to talk to him one by one, trying to overwhelm him.
If it was Bell, they wouldn't be like this, but Isao was different, especially when they had seen his feats in the dungeon; who could calmly hunt alone even if he was a Level 1?
"You should join us."
"Yeah, instead of being a member of a small Familia that can only live in the abandoned church, you should join us."
"We will give you lots of help and the best place!"
Yet, as they talked, trying to invite Isao, Hestia, who was about to return to everyone, rooted in a place when she heard their voices, slowly lowering her head. If she was in heaven, no one would doubt her, but this was the lower world, and she was unable to use her power.
At the time, she was no different from all other humans than the fact that she was beautiful and had big boobs.
However, she was a virgin goddess, and she couldn't even give that to her followers, so why should they follow her?
Or rather, what kind of support could she give Isao?
Home? Money? Weapons? Support of everyone?
She couldn't give any of that!
Those words pulled her deeper, deeper into the abyss of despair, crying as she thought that she would lose Isao.
"Or rather, why should you follow that poor goddess? Apollo-sama is several times better than that poor goddess, who is nothing but a burden—"
Bang!
Hyakinthos, the leader of the Apollo Familia, couldn't finish his words.
Why?
Isao pummeled this bastard, sent him flying into the group of people, and caused many interiors in the pub to be broken.
'Ah... I've done it.'
Isao lamented that it was so hard to become a good person.
[You have acquired Hyakinthos Clio's DNA.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
Still, as the fight had started, Isao glanced at the group of Apollo Familia that was still standing and decided to go all out since if he let them go, then he would be the one who was beaten.
So, let's beat them first, then talk later!
---
By the way, it is interesting that each of them has their own answers.
Whether it is beauty or security, nothing is wrong with that, I guess, especially when it isn't wrong to search for someone whose face is beautiful so you can have a happy night every day or search for security, especially with our current situation of the world since even if you have a stable job, you won't know the future, right?
As for the harem, you can have polygamy in Indonesia, too. You don't have to go to the Middle East. More importantly, it's cheaper, especially for food.
By the way, there are so many words in this chapter.
