章 142: The weak have no right
"I am innocent!"
When those words came out of Isao's mouth, everyone was lost for words.
It wasn't just the guild staff, the members of the Ganesha Familia, and those who were followed to see the fun.
Or rather, even Hestia and Eina, who were on the crime scene, were also dumbfounded by Isao's statement, wondering how shameless he could be for daring to say that he was innocent.
His act was witnessed by many people who had gathered at the Hostess of Fertility last night, and those people even came to the guild to watch what was happening, but when they heard his words, a collective gasp filled the air with disbelief.
Still, the angriest would be those who were beaten by Isao.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?!"
"You have broken my nose!"
"Innocent? It's my first time seeing someone as shameless as you!"
Yet, compared to Hyakinthos, their anger was pale. "HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO MOCK US?! NOT ONLY HAVE YOU BEATEN ALL OF US, BUT YOU EVEN DECEIVED ME INTO A DUEL AND ATTACKED ME SECRETLY! INNOCENT? THIS WORD IS UNBEFITTING OF YOUR CHARACTER!"
Hestia and Eina lowered their heads when they heard Hyakinthos' words, feeling embarrassed and apologizing inside their hearts for Isao's shamelessness, but they were still more curious about what Isao wanted to say.
Still, even under the accusations of many, Isao was as calm as a cucumber. He just stood tall and waited for them to finish their words as if all of their voices were the barking of the dog.
As expected, even if they wanted to scold him more, their vocabulary was limited, and they were also exhausted from talking so loud for so long.
"Are you done?" Isao asked calmly.
"..." Everyone.
"To be honest, if you want to make a lie, you should make it better." Isao sighed helplessly and looked at everyone. "Everyone, I want to ask you! Me, a Level 1 adventurer, do you think that I can defeat the group of Apollo Familia alone? Logically, do you think that it is possible for me to do anything against them if they want to do something to me?"
"..."
All of them blinked their eyes before they shook their heads.
Logically, a Level 1 adventurer could only be decimated by a group of Apollo Familias, who had several Level 2, and even Hyakinthos, who was a Level 3.
In other words, it was impossible for Isao to do anything to Hyakinthos and the others if they wanted to do anything to him!
"So, they are lying?"
"Well, that isn't surprising, considering their reputation."
"But then again, he is so handsome, and I understand why Apollo-sama is interested in that young man."
"...."
Isao glanced at the person who said the last words, secretly remembering the guy before he continued to prove his innocence. "I know that I am from a weak Familia, and I am nothing but a Level 1 adventurer, but I believe that justice is with us! I have never committed any crimes that are listed by those people!"
Not only Hestia and Eina but Hyakinthos and those who were beaten by Isao were at a loss.
"You! You! You!" Hyakinthos pointed his finger at Isao angrily.
"Then, how did you explain the wounds on their bodies?"
"I am not sure." Isao shook his head and said, "Probably, they did that by themselves last night, playing too rough together, and caused them such a heavy injury. Moreover, I have heard that Apollo Familia has a bad reputation for bullying a small Familia. While I doubted it before, now, I believe that reputation doesn't come from nothing, especially when I had been bullied too."
At this moment, everyone had become Isao's ally, and no one believed Apollo Familia's words, especially when their reputation wasn't so good.
While Hyakinthos and those members who were beaten were so angry, they couldn't do anything, and they had no evidence! Their injuries? Would anyone believe that a Level 1 adventurer could defeat all of them? If this situation hadn't happened to them, they wouldn't have believed it. More importantly, there was no security camera on the Hostess of Fertility, so what had happened last night wasn't recorded at all!
They could say whatever they wanted, saying that Isao was guilty, but even so, no one would believe that Isao had beaten them up, even if few people had seen it.
Or rather, the number of people on the Hostess of Fertility was pale compared to the number of people on the Orario!
Frankly, even Apollo, who didn't see the situation, was also in doubt, and he looked at Hyakinthos and the others with suspicion.
"He really did it, Apollo-sama!"
"Believe us!"
"Do you think I will bust one of my balls to make him into a culprit?" Hyakinthos looked helplessly at Apollo.
"....." Everyone.
Still, with Isao's words, it was impossible to believe the Apollo Familia, and like what Isao had said before, they thought that they played their group play a little too rough.
Yet, Hestia and Eina understood why Isao had told them that everything would be okay, but—
"Hahaha..." Apollo laughed and clapped his hands while looking at Isao. "You are fun. It has been a while since I have seen someone as fun as you, so be my Familia member."
"I refuse."
It was impossible for him to become part of Apollo Familia.
"Is that so? But I won't give up. I will chase you down. Even if you are innocent, it doesn't matter." Apollo smiled disgustingly and said, "I will get you, Isao-kun~!"
"...."
Isao's veins almost burst, trying to endure his anger and disgust from Apollo.
Even if Apollo said so, the guild and the Ganesha Familia didn't stop him since he was strong. Compared to Hestia, who had nothing, Apollo had a hundred members of Familia and was rather wealthy.
"Let's go back, Hestia."
Isao didn't care anymore and just left.
"O-Okay." Hestia quickly followed Isao.
No one stopped the two since they were innocent.
Still, the weak had no rights, and only the strong could protect themselves.
"Hestia, I will get him! I won't give up! Isao-kun is mine!" Apollo shouted, showing his determination to get Isao into his Familia.
Hestia didn't say anything and ignored Apollo, leaving the guild together.
Isao glanced at the guild building and made up his mind.
"Isao-kun!"
Eina also quickly followed when they left.
"Don't follow me," Isao said.
"Wh-what?" Eina looked at Isao with confusion.
"Just stay on the guild."
"What do you mean?!" Eina felt that Isao was so much different now. She was worried about him and wondered why he was so cold.
Isao didn't intend to talk about anything and just left.
"ISAO!"
Hestia glanced at Eina with a complicated gaze, then looked at Isao. "Is that okay? Advisor-kun is crying, you know?"
"It's fine. I don't want her to be involved in my problem."
"It's not your problem. It's our problem, right?"
Isao looked at Hestia, who looked at him with a gentle smile and held his hand softly.
"Hestia."
"Hmm?" Hestia still had a gentle smile on her face as she faced him. "What's wrong?"
"Let's go on a date today."
"....."
Hestia blinked her eyes and asked, "A-Are you sure?"
"You don't want to?"
"I want to! Let's go! Let's go on a date now!"
Watching her smile, Isao's tense nerves also started to relax, and they decided to focus on their date.
Many things happened yesterday and today, but even so, it didn't stop them from having fun on the Orario, playing, eating good food, and spending a good time together.
"By the way, I bought a house."
"Huh? Really?" Hestia was dumbfounded. "Where? Let me see!"
"Well, it is in the north area of the Orario."
"Ah, it is close to Advisor-kun's place?"
"Not that close, but within the area."
Hestia looked at Isao with a complicated gaze, then asked, "Do you like Advisor-kun, Isao-kun?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"I-I mean, do you want to date her?"
"No."
Hestia was surprised and asked, "Huh? Really? You don't want to date her?"
"I don't have any intentions to date her, to begin with."
Isao didn't want to harm any good women anymore. Those women in his two previous worlds were enough. As for his lower body, he could just search for a bad woman since they were easy, and there was no need for him to take responsibility for them. In case something big happened, he was sure that those bad women could search for another man to take care of them, too.
"You too."
Isao looked at Hestia with a helpless smile and said, "Don't fall in love with me. Search for a sincere and good person rather than a liar and a scumbag like me."
As a virgin goddess, Hestia should give her virginity to one that could treasure her dearly, but that person definitely wasn't him, as he was an ass.
He might be a good person, but he knew that no matter how he tried to change himself, it was impossible to change his core.
Frankly, he felt that it might be better for Hestia to meet Bell instead of him, so there was no need for her to face this trouble with him.
"NO!"
Hestia hugged him tightly. "You might be a liar and a scumbag, but even so, you are the best! Don't underestimate! Like you, who still sticks to you even if I am poor and have nothing, even if you are like this, I will stick with you! Don't underestimate my love for you!"
As a goddess, how could she not tell how this young man definitely wasn't a good boy? After all, would a good boy lie and make a sneak attack? He could even lie in front of everyone, saying that he was innocent even though he had busted one of Hyakinthos' balls.
Isao looked at Hestia with a helpless smile and only patted her head.
"You are an idiot."
"I am!" Hestia smiled and leaped onto his back, latching onto his body tighter. "We'll be together no matter how difficult it is. I won't give you up! I am not a scumbag! I will take responsibility for you, so you should take responsibility for me, too, for making me like this."
Isao looked at Hestia, who looked at him with a warm smile, but he didn't say anything and just rubbed her head softly.
"Let's continue our date."
"Um~!"
The two had fun together, from morning to evening, spending his money lavishly without care before they went back and slept soundly on the same bed together.
Everything was great, and they all had a great time together until the next day came.
"You are going to the dungeon again today?"
"Yeah."
"Try to apologize to Advisor-kun." Hestia looked at Isao sternly. "She is worried about you, and you should be gentle with a woman, okay?"
Isao glanced at Hestia and asked, "Do you mind if I make a harem?"
"Y-You want to make a harem?" Hestia looked at Isao in shock.
"Yes."
"How can you say that with a straight face, scoundrel! No! You can't make a harem!"
"That's impossible. I have to make one."
"Scoundrel! No, I won't allow it! You can only be mine!"
The two bickered with each other before they left their home at the same time, but then Isao saw that they were greeted by many people, and from their uniforms, it was easy to tell that they were from the Apollo Familia.
While Isao took a deep breath, one of the members, who seemed to be an elf, raised his hand as if giving a cue to attack.
At that moment, everyone makes their move and attacks Isao and Hestia with their magic.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!
