Chapitre 212: Never stay in peace
Isao didn't meet Freya.
Or rather, he didn't intend to make a move or go to Freya at all.
In a show of his unwavering determination, Isao sought the company of Eina, Aiz, Hestia, Hephaestus, Demeter, Daphne, Cassandra, and Chloe, never once considering a visit to Babel or Folkvanger.
While Isao did so, he was sure that Freya could see him, especially when she had eyes that allowed her to see the souls of people, and more importantly, she had often disguised herself as someone on the Hostess of Fertility.
"Geez, Isao-kun, where have you been?" Syr asked with a pout when Isao came to the Hostess of Fertility in the morning.
"I have been busy with many things."
Yes, he was so busy with many things, especially with the marriage of Bell and Freya. Yet, this wasn't the only thing that he was busy with since not only did he manage his business, but he also tried to expand while also trying to handle all the attacks from various femme fatales that came into his direction.
'If I don't have near-infinite vitality...'
There was also a report that he needed to do at the guild as he, Daphne, and Cassandra had become a Level 3. Naturally, as he had become a Level 3, he attracted much attention, but there were many things that happened on the Orario lately, such as the marriage between Bell and Freya, and also Aiz, who had become a Level 6!
After defeating Udaues, Aiz became the next adventurer, breaking Level 6 and becoming one of the strongest.
Still, all of that pales in comparison to finding out about the news of the Evilus that might plan to use the Demi Spirit to cause harm to the Orario.
He had a discussion with Finn about Revis and many other things; the guild naturally knew about it as they made a report, so they could get full support from the guild.
As expected, with the danger that revolved within the Orario, the guild even asked him to get all the information he could about the shady transactions and many other things related to Evilus.
Isao didn't mind since he got quite a good reward for taking down those shady transactions and all the illegal matters that he discovered, and whenever he took down those things, he could also take all the wealth owned by those criminals.
If he had to say, he had become a robber, but he robbed a bad person.
Still, he had to say that the fastest way to make money was to rob someone.
The guild probably knew about how he took a lot of the wealth of those criminals, but all of them closed their eyes and pretended that they didn't see anything since as long as the Orario was peaceful, it was all fine.
Nevertheless, Isao wanted to help Eina with her job, and if possible, he wanted her position in the guild to rise so she could help him with many things.
But then, many might say that he should grow stronger and go to the dungeon, but even if he didn't go to the dungeon, he could become stronger by having a spar with Aiz.
As he and Aiz dueled with their swords, his experience grew and grew as he became stronger with every bout they had.
Yet, this was normal since fighting a monster wasn't the only way for someone to grow, and fighting a Level 6 adventurer when one was a Level 3 was an amazing feat, right?
Still, aside from the matter of Evilus, as could only be learned by those who were involved, everyone's focus had always been on the wedding between Freya and Bell. The preparations had been made, and their wedding would start soon.
Naturally, Isao, Hestia, Daphne, and Cassandra, or rather, all the members of the Hestia Familia, got the invitation to this wedding.
While Isao didn't want to come, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he had been thinking of going to another world, trying to get stronger, breaking away from the series of unlucky fates that came in his direction all the time.
Yet, he wasn't in a hurry, especially when he could go anytime, and he could even stop the time. Moreover, if he wanted to go to another world, no one could stop him, yet he knew that there had always been a danger in the new world, so he hesitated.
The last time he visited the world of "Mahouka," he had to face a war, after all, so this time, he wasn't confident whether he would be okay.
What about the world of "Tondemo"? He was fine and all, right?
Yet, if he stayed a little longer, then he might be noticed by the gods there somehow and erased, probably.
Regardless, he wasn't in a hurry and decided to prepare himself well, especially since he wanted to familiarize himself with his new ability, "Mystery."
"By the way, why is your body so cold, nyaa? Also, what did you bring on your hand?"
As it was still in the morning, the Hostess of Fertility hadn't opened yet, and they were all in the preparation. Still, when Isao came, all of them quickly looked at him curiously, wondering what he had brought, especially when the temperature on his body was quite cold.
Yet, this was comfortable since the Orario was quite hot today, and Isao was like a walking air conditioner, so it felt good to be close to him.
"I brought you ice cream."
"Ice cream?"
"Try it. I just created it."
"Oh?"
All of them knew that Isao was good at cooking, so they didn't hesitate to try the ice creams he had made.
"Oh! It feels cold and nice, nyaa~!"
"It is." Runoa nodded, then asked, "Is the ice cream the reason why you have been busy with Demeter-sama?"
"...." Everyone.
Isao looked at Runoa speechlessly, but he nodded. "Yes, we plan to make a new business."
"..."
All of them rolled their eyes since they knew that Isao wasn't as innocent as he appeared to be.
This guy was a bad boy!
This guy was simply a walking human disaster!
Those with partners and wives needed to get away from him, or else he would eat them clean!
"What's wrong, Ryuu? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want one? You don't like dairy products? I have one that is made from fruit puree."
Isao took out pure fruit ice cream and gave it to Ryu.
"T-Thanks..."
While Ryuu was a little embarrassed, she accepted the ice cream and, like others, used her untainted tongue to lick it. Still, while the ice cream tasted nice, she was more cornered about something else, especially when she knew about Isao's information-gathering ability.
Hesitating, suddenly, the door opened, and many people entered as they looked around.
"Huh?"
Everyone was confused by their sudden entrance, and they also felt strange since all of them leaned forward while holding their stomachs tightly as if... they were trying to hold something.
"I am sorry, but the pub hasn't opened yet. If you want to visit, please come later at night."
While Mia knew that they seemed to wish to borrow the toilet, she wouldn't let them, and more importantly, the number of toilets was limited!
Or rather, they had just cleaned up!
How could Mia let those people stain the toilet of her pub?!
Yet—
"Is this the Hostess of Fertility?"
One of the men suddenly asked.
"Yes?"
"Oh, good, then."
All of them looked at each other and then nodded, but Ryuu's eyes became sharp and shouted in fury, "You!" She recalled the memory of the past and understood the identity of those people. She took a hidden knife from her hand and was ready to kill those people who suddenly entered.
Yet, it was too late.
"RYUU, GET BACK!" Mia roared.
While everyone was confused, suddenly, a pink-colored barrier emerged before them as if it appeared to protect all of them, and Ryuu, who was about to make a move, was suddenly grabbed and put down by Isao.
"Idiot!"
All the men who entered suddenly exploded one after another.
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
The Hostess of Fertility was covered in the crimson flame!
