章 249: Is this our first meeting? (Danmachi)
"No way..."
Shizuku fell with despair and knew that she would be expelled. It was impossible for her to enter this school anymore, especially when her older brother was defeated.
Still, Itsuki had expected this matter, and he knew that with Kurono's attitude, it was impossible to let Shizuku enter once again, especially when Shizuku's arrogant attitude, who even dared to threaten Kurono.
Despite the Kurogane family's power, they were no match for Kurono, Nene, and Isao. Moreover, Nene's connection to the Nangou Torajirou family, the rivals of the Kurogane family, further complicated the situation.
So, the best thing that Itsuki could ask for was to ask Isao to fix Shizuku's power no matter the price he asked.
As for Ikki?
Itsuki didn't feel surprised, and his defeat was obvious. After all, how could an F-Rank Blazer win against an A-Rank Blazer?
'Now, how can I tackle this situation?'
The situation became even trickier when Isao was able to replicate Kihihara's ability since, with this ability, if he wanted to run away or sneak attack on their family, no one could stop him.
Isao had become the worst enemy of his family, and all of that was due to his children.
Itsuki took a deep breath and looked at his daughter. "No matter what you do, try to get his forgiveness. If you can't, then you should leave the family." Family affection? Such a thing never existed within him. Everything within him was a logical action to preserve his family's influence and reputation.
"I..." Shizuku wanted to get angry at his father, who didn't even show care toward Ikki, who had been defeated, but hearing the words from his father and his solemn attitude, she knew that Itsuki was serious. If she fought him at this moment, she would be disowned and be forced to leave the family.
"...yes."
Shizuku lowered her head and then glanced complicatedly at Isao, who was in the middle of the stage.
Isao's fighting method might be dirty, but even so, in this competition, what was important was being a winner since if you lost, you would be a loser and lose everything.
More importantly, Ikki's method wasn't clean either, as he directly used his everything and did a sneak attack as soon as the match started.
So, Isao just repaid Ikki by turning himself invisible and then ended the match just like that.
Frankly, Isao wouldn't be surprised if Ikki awoke his power as a Blazer to turn the defeat into a victory since the protagonist was such a crazy existence.
Even if one might not even know something such as a Blazer in their entire lives, as long as Ikki was given a chance, he would become one.
More importantly, even if Ikki might appear like a gentle and good boy, he knew that this guy was a crazy maniac who wished to fight all the time and show everyone that he was the strongest.
With such an obsession, it would be incredible if Ikki just lay down and was defeated.
Unfortunately, Ikki was defeated, and the winner was Isao.
Still, with this, no one stopped him in this world anymore.
Isao had taken the protagonist's position from Ikki, and he knew that a troublesome situation would come to him soon, yet it didn't matter since he planned to go back to the world of "Danmachi" first.
It had only been a short time since he had entered this world, but even so, the improvement was crazy, especially after he had gained many unique techniques and abilities.
Still, before that, he had to meet Kurono, who had promised him to wear a cheerleader costume tonight.
'Let's go back tomorrow.'

"Ugh.... this place is...?"
As Ikki woke up, he saw that he was inside the infirmary. His body was being taken care of inside a machine that healed his muscles, bones, and everything after he forcefully made himself stronger.
"Have you woken up?"
"Arisuin?" Ikki looked at the homo friend of Shizuku.
"You lost."
"..." Ikki clenched his fists in frustration, then sighed helplessly.
"Then, I will leave." If someone was hit by the expulsion of Shizuku, it would be Arisuin as he thought of her as a little sister-like existence, especially after they shared a room, but as it had happened, there was nothing he could do, and probably, this might be the best, considering his identity and all.
Without Shizuku as a burden, Arisuin knew that he could focus on his mission without many distractions.
With Arisuin left, Ikki was alone inside the room, and he was glad that it was night and also without a single light since, if so, then his tears would be seen as he was crying, feeling remorse for his defeat.
On the other hand, Isao, who enjoyed his time with Kurono, decided to return to the world of "Danmachi." He had grown stronger, and he knew that he should be able to handle his opponents more confidently, especially with the ability known as time manipulation from Kurono.
Still, frankly, he felt that he wouldn't use this ability much, considering it was a forbidden power.
Those who played with time had to pay a certain price.
Isao knew that, and he wasn't strong enough to pay for it. More importantly, this power gave him a lot of "what ifs" inside his head.
As he had many regrets in his life, with this power, he could erase those regrets and undo all the mistakes that should happen, but if that happened, he would lose all the connection with his loved ones.
So, in the end, he didn't do anything and just accepted everything.
Moreover, once he had gotten used to this power, he would keep using it as it was so convenient to use a time manipulation.
So, with all of that, he tried not to have any regrets and mistakes, even if he knew it was hard.
Nevertheless, let's put this matter aside and think about the problems within the world of "Danmachi."
"Well, the first problem is Evilus, the Demi Spirit, and also one hidden enemy."
Isao wasn't sure about this last enemy, and even if he got the DNA of Revis, she didn't know anything about this hidden figure who called himself "Enyo."
"Enyo..."
As he wondered who Enyo was, suddenly, he heard a commotion from outside. Inside the "Hearth Mansion," he was alone, but it didn't matter since he wanted to rest, especially after he had just returned from another world.
Having to spend time with Kurono might be nice, but he was too lazy to handle the problems of the Kurogane family, so he decided to return first. However, it seemed that he couldn't have a moment of quiet.
"Are you sure that you want to stay?"
"Why not? It isn't our first time here, right?"
"Yup. Let's have a girl's time again!"
"You said that, but your target is Isao-kun, right? Let me remind you that since this is my house, he is mine! You can't do anything pervy about him! He will sleep with me!"
"Yes, yes."
"You don't have to worry."
"You can sleep with him as much as you want."
Even if Isao hadn't seen the source of this voice, he could tell who they were.
As expected, soon, Hestia and Hephaestus came inside.
"Isao-kun!"
"Hestia."
As Hestia jumped into him happily, Isao greeted Hephaestus, who looked at him with a polite smile, and then Demeter, who also entered.
"Isao-kun."
"Hello, Isao-kun."
"Hello."
His expression became subtle when he saw Hephaestus and Demeter, but they weren't the only ones since Loki also entered.
"Hey, hey. What's with that expression?! How rude?!" Loki scolded Isao when he looked at her with a disappointed gaze.
Yet, Isao decided to ignore Loki since the one who entered the last made his heart jumpy.
'Huh? Why is she here?'
However, she was there, and she appeared before him.
"Hello, are you Iinuma-kun? Nice to meet you. My name is Freya."
Freya greeted Isao sweetly as if it was their first meeting.
"....." Isao.
Oh my god...
Only the others rolled their eyes, thinking whether Isao or Freya were so good at role play, considering they knew the two had slept with each other. Yet, at the same time, watching Isao's expression, they had to admit that they hadn't chosen the wrong man since they could see how he appeared calm in front of the most beautiful goddess instead of turning himself into a horny dog.
