Kapitel 163: I have to become stronger!
On Eina's bed, Isao thought that he really needed to go to the world that could make him become stronger.
With his second ability, he knew that he could control those whose DNA had been replicated by him. Logically, whether it was plants, animals, humans, monsters, demi-humans, elves, devils, or even gods, he couldn't escape from his control, but in case the power of those he controlled was much bigger than him, could this ability be successful?
He wasn't sure as he had never tried it.
While the deities had sealed their powers on the lower world, if they were really in danger or realized they were being controlled, would they stay in silence and not use their powers?
More importantly, if he was known to have the ability to control deities, he was afraid that he would be targeted by all the deities in heaven, becoming a target of purge.
Everyone would think of him as enemies, and they would take him down.
Even if he had Hestia and Hephaestus, they wouldn't be able to do anything when they had many deities to target them. Moreover, while the two were powerful, they weren't the most powerful.
At the same time, Loki was a troublesome goddess. As a goddess of trickery, Isao knew that he couldn't underestimate Loki. If he had been on Loki Familia as her children, it would have been fine, but he wasn't, after all.
Instead of letting her see his power, it was better for him to run away since the longer he stayed, the more disadvantaged he was.
If he was a Level 6 adventurer or even just a Level 5 adventurer, he wouldn't fear the Loki Familia, but he wasn't after all.
Nevertheless, in the end, the truth of everything was only power.
As long as you are strong, everything will be okay.
Even if Loki was smart, so what?
After all, a trick and conspiracy were meaningless in front of overwhelming power that could crush anything.
Somehow, even if this was a harem story in which the protagonist met various cute girls along his journey, he felt that this world was much, much harder to face than the world of "High School of the Dead" or "Kimetsu no Yaiba."
Frankly, he didn't want to become the enemy of the Loki Familia, but if this goddess caused him trouble, then—
Yet, he quickly calmed himself.
He shouldn't move with his emotions; instead, he should calmly think of his strategy, accumulating his power secretly and then strike when they are prepared.
Moreover, like what Yuriko had said before, the best revenge wasn't to kill directly but to use them like slaves, working them until death.
Yet, once again, he wasn't a bad guy anymore, so he knew that he shouldn't think of something as evil as holding grudges and thinking of revenge. Instead, what he had to do was educate Loki so she wouldn't be a bad goddess anymore.
Moreover, if he did something to Loki, then those innocent women in Loki Familia would be afflicted, so he knew that he had to be gentle, especially when Eina's aunt was Riveria.
As he had taken care of Eina, he felt that he also had to take care of Riveria, too.
'Oh, what a good person I am.'
While thinking so, he kissed Eina's cheek, causing Eina to wake up.
"...is it morning already?"
"Yup."
"Oh..." Eina put her hand on her mouth, yawned, and then widened her eyes, realizing that the sun was already high. "Ah, I need to go to work!" As a guild staff member, she had to be in her office every morning, so she was startled when she saw the sun was already high. However, when she was about to stand up, she flinched and felt sore and pain in her lower body.
"You have just lost your first time. Get well rested, and last night, you told me that you had taken a leave, right?"
"Oh, right. I forgot."
Remembering that she had taken a break today, she directly laid on her bed and snuggled on his chest, feeling comfort and happiness.
Unlike before, her beauty bloomed, and she appeared so beautiful.
After Isao ran away and went to the Apollo Mansion, which had become his due of the War Game, he let Hestia and Hephaestus argue with each other, then let them sleep in the same room before he slipped into Eina's apartment.
While he might have promised to have a duel with Aiz, he felt that his duel with Eina was more important.
Yet, as expected, even though Eina was a talented woman, she wasn't an adventurer, and her strength was limited. In front of his overwhelming power, she could only beg for mercy, and in the end, instead of fighting, he became a teacher, and she was his student who was willing to learn.
The two learned vigorously and rested quite late, which was why they woke up quite late.
"Do you want me to heal you?"
"Eh? You can use a heal?" Eina was surprised.
"Yeah."
After replicating the DNA of Riveria, Cassandra, and Airmid, Isao learned of a healing spell. "If you want a potion, I have it too."
Frankly, aside from blessings and DNA, one of his biggest gains in the world was the potions, as they could be used for money, especially for his endeavor in the new world.
"Well... let me feel this feeling."
"Okay."
As a half-elf, naturally, Eina was also affected by her mother's teaching, and she took care of the matter of heart. While it was true that they hadn't married each other, she had thought of him as her man and someone who she would be with forever; this was why she wanted to treasure every moment with him, like this soreness after she lost her virginity.
Still, watching how pure she was, Isao somehow felt guilty.
Once again, while he might say he was a good person, he knew inside that it was just something to make him believe he was one.
Yet, watching her long, slender legs, shapely breasts with pink nipples, and alluring lips, it was impossible for him not to react.
"...you real really strong." Eina felt helpless as she saw his strong erection that made her body wet.
"It's not you, right? Call me, Sensei." Isao appeared strict and said, "By the way, Eina-kun, have you reviewed your homework?"
"..."
Eina stared at Isao speechlessly, but then she bit her lower lip and nodded shyly, "I-I do Sensei."
"Good, how about you show me now?"
Eina blushed, but she was obedient, opening her beautiful lips and sticking out her long tongue as she lowered her head.
"Good. You did a good job, Eina-kun."
As Eina worked hard, Isao didn't forget to gently praise her by caressing her head.
Yes, he might feel guilty for harming this young woman, but he believed he could take care of her well.
Nevertheless, while he wanted to stay for a little longer, he knew that he couldn't do that, especially when he had so many troubles, whether it was a debt or other things that might swarm toward him.
Still, the first thing he did was go to the dungeon and pick up several of Jack Bird's Golden Eggs before selling them to the guild. Frankly, while he had met many troubles, his luck was as great as ever.
"Here is ten million Valis, Isao-kun."
"Thanks, Misha."
If it was before, Isao would be low-key, but this time, it was different, especially when everyone knew him, defeating all the members of the Apollo Familia and even killing its captain.
While he didn't like to kill, he knew that he had to kill since it was a deterrent, something to protect him and the business that he was about to develop.
Moreover, in this world, while being loved was nice, being feared was much better.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" As Isao put his money, he noticed Misha, Eina's friend, the pink-haired petite girl, staring at him with her big eyes.
"No-No... but I thought Eina was with you," Misha innocently said. It was rare for Eina to take a leave, so she thought that Eina was with Isao, especially after he had just finished his War Game yesterday.
Yet, watching him emerge from the dungeon so early in the morning, Misha somehow understood why Isao could win the War Game. His dedication, diligence, and discipline were worth learning.
"She is probably still sleeping since we have a party till late."
"Ah, why didn't you invite me?!"
"Next time." Isao waved his hand and said, "Then, Misha, I will leave first."
"Okay." While Misha nodded, she felt at a loss, wishing to talk with him more.
Yet, Isao realized that even though he had killed someone, no one seemed to particularly mind. Instead of looking at him with disgust, they only looked at him in awe.
'As expected, the value of something is different from every era.'
In a world where wars happen almost every day, Isao knew that it was normal to see death. Even in the Orario, many adventurers die because of the monsters inside the dungeon every day, or they are killed by a simple fight or just a criminal.
Yet, as a good person, he knew that this had nothing to do with him, as he wouldn't kill people unless he had no other choices, and that person was utterly trash.
Leaving the guild, while everyone saw he had brought a lot of money, no one stepped forward.
Still, naturally, there were many whose eyes were greedily staring at him, but then again, Isao didn't care since, in his eyes, they were nothing but ants that he could crush at any moment.
Nevertheless, he quickly returned to his mansion and saw many statues of Apollos, which made his face twitch, but then, soon, he saw Hestia, Cassandra, and Daphne.
"Isao-kun!"
Hestia quickly jumped into him and tried to sniff him, wondering whether he had just gone to the woman's house, except for a slightly sweaty and manly scent, which she loved so much.
"Have you eaten it all? I bought breakfast on my way out of the dungeon. Let's eat together."
"Okay." 3x
The three of them nodded, brought plates from the pantry, and then ate the breakfast Isao had bought.
Still, suddenly, they realized something.
"Huh? Did you just come back from the dungeon, Isao-sama?" Daphne asked curiously.
Isao wondered why Daphne called him with the "-sama" suffix, but he didn't care and nodded. "Yeah, I just tried to get some money." While saying so, he took out bundles of money on the table.
"....." 3x
They blinked their eyes in a daze.
"...how much are they?" Cassandra asked with a mutter.
"It is ten million Valis. I didn't stay too long in the dungeon before, so I can only get that much."
If Isao stayed for a day, he was sure that he would get more money, especially with the help of his luck, which greatly enhanced the drop items he gained from the monsters. Naturally, this wasn't his only asset, but then again, all of his assets were far from enough to pay his 500 million Valis of debt.
"..." 3x.
Yet, even though they had 500 million Valis of debt, Hestia, Daphne, and Cassandra were confident that Isao would clear it.
"By the way, where is Hephaestus?" Isao asked.
"She had gone home," Hestia said, and then her eyes became sharp as she looked at Isao, but she didn't say much since she didn't want to annoy him.
Isao ignored this gaze and asked, "Good, by the way, have Cassandra and Daphne become our Familia?"
"Yes," Hestia nodded. I just turned them into our Familia this morning." When she woke up, she had nothing to do, and there was no Isao, so she turned the two into her Familia.
Daphne and Cassandra somehow became curious since they could tell that Isao planned to do something.
"That's good; then we can start my plan."
"Plan?" 3x
"Yeah, I plan to become the richest man in the whole world."
"....." 3x
To become powerful, Isao knew that he needed not only strength but also authority and wealth.
Being powerful aside, as this one needed a process, he knew that he needed another source of income except for the dungeon.
As for authority, he would get them as he became stronger and had more money and resources.
So, the first thing he had to do was to get money, but then, how?
Except from the dungeon, what should he do?
Food? This was already taken care of by the Demeter Familia, who monopolized the food market.
Fish? This was also already monopolized by the Njord Familia.
Magic stone? The guild had a monopoly on it.
Then, how about medicine? After all, he had the talents of Tamayo, Kanae, and Shinobu, right?
Yet, in this world, there were many medicine gods, and they definitely weren't a pushover.
Weapons? Well, it was monopolized by Hephaestus and other blacksmith Familia.
Moreover, while Isao knew that he had to do a business to make money, he wanted to create a business where it would give him authority, like how a food business could affect the lives of many.
Yet, with all the core of business having been taken by other Familias, what could he do?
Nevertheless, Isao didn't give up, especially because he didn't want to feel hopeless about his debt or being played by others anymore.
"So, I plan to make a business?" Isao said solemnly.
"Business? What kind of business?" Daphne asked curiously.
Cassandra also looked at Isao with a similar gaze.
After all, the two never thought that Isao would try to make a business.
On the other hand, Hestia didn't care since as long as Isao wished to do something, she would support him 100%!
"Newspaper."
Isao looked at everyone and said with vigor like a pyramid scheme leader who wished to brainwash his followers, "This will be our new venture!"
Only—
"..."
"...what is a newspaper?" 3x
