Monsterphilia.
This was an event created by Ganesha Familia, showing the fight of the monsters that tamed from the dungeon onto their fighting area.
Frankly, many were in doubt of this event from the beginning as a monster was dangerous and something was supposed to kill. Moreover, what was so fun to watch a monster that was tamed and fought in the fighting area?
More importantly, was it safe?
After all, the Ganesha Familia would take out monsters from the dungeon, and wouldn't those monsters attack people?
Yet, despite the lingering unease, the event had become a mainstay, especially after the return of peace in Ontario. The thrill and joy that permeated the festival were undeniable, drawing everyone out for a good time.
Once again, Isao went out with the group of orphans who had been working hard on their studies. Naturally, he wasn't alone, and he had many companions of beautiful women who made people could only look at him in jealousy.
What about hatred?
How could they even have such an emotion toward a ruthless young man who could fight hundreds of people and kill one of them?
Or rather, while no one realized it, Isao had used his power secretly, using it to control those bad people who tried to harm his business. Even in this world, there was no lack of greedy businessmen, and in this world where most people would even commit a crime for profit, his businesses naturally attracted the attention of many.
Still, he wasn't a pushover, and he had built his power slowly.
Nevertheless, it was time for a break, and Isao, Hestia, Daphne, Cassandra, and many others joined a group of kids on this outing to watch Monsterphilia.
"Thank you for everything, Isao-kun," Maria Marthel thanked Isao sincerely.
The beautiful, mature woman with black hair tied at the top of her head bowed at this young man. It was the first time someone wished to help the orphans with education, giving those children without parents skills and knowledge for their future to become better people.
While Maria could take care of them, giving them food and care, Isao gave them their future.
How could she not be moved by this young man's dedication?
Even if his purpose might be impure as he wished to get a good employee, it didn't matter since, for the weak, relying on someone was also one of the ways to live.
"I know that I might not be able to give much, but if possible, I want to repay you."
While Maria said so, she tightly held her hands together in front of her body, and this gesture squeezed her ample breasts that were hidden under her reserved and conservative clothes.
"...."
Isao blinked his eyes and stared at Maria, but before he could say anything, their conversation was interrupted.
"Yes, yes. You don't have to worry, Maria."
Syr looked at Isao with a smile and said, "He is only doing this for his investment in business."
"Even so, the benefits are good for everyone, and his actions are far better than most people, Syr," Maria said softly.
"....."
Syr looked at Maria helplessly, wondering whether this woman wanted to enter the jaw of the beast. Frankly, instead of helping the orphans, she thought that Isao wanted to get his hands on Maria, who appeared like a gentle mother.
"Isao-kun, can you help me over here?"
Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted once again, but this time by the beautiful goddess, who had joined Isao lately.
"Sure, Demeter." Isao nodded, then looked at Maria and Syr. "I will leave you two first."
"Okay." 2x
Maria cast a gentle smile at Isao, but Syr kept staring at the gentle, mature goddess with honey-colored wavy hair.
'Whore...'
Syr thought inwardly, but she also felt helpless, thinking about Isao's request if she wanted to meet him again.
'It can't be helped.'
As she thought so, she made up her mind. After all, unlike any other man that she had seen for eons, he was so much different.
As Isao helped Demeter, he noticed someone with a mask on her face and a red kimono. Even if she hid her face, he knew that she was a young woman with a good figure and a demi-human, especially when she had such a lush and soft fox-like tail on her bottoms.
He had noticed this woman before, especially during storytelling time when someone read a book for a group of children.
Sometimes, he told the story, but with the help of Loki Familia, Tiona, and Lefiya, who were good at telling stories, also helped him.
Watching many of the Loki Familia who joined him, Isao sighed in relief, thinking that it was all good if everything could be peaceful. Only suddenly did he feel a familiar feeling in his nether region. He lifted a box with two hands and with their position on the blindspot, giving someone a chance to molest him.
"Demeter..."
"I received rice seeds." Demeter looked at Isao with a gentle smile and asked, "Do you want to see them on my farm?" When she asked so, her hand never stopped, rubbing and squeezing with her gentle and warm hand.
"...let's do it later. I plan to go to the dungeon after this. When I go back, then..."
"Okay, but don't take a bath, okay? Just come to my place as soon as possible when you return..." Demeter whispered sweetly.
"...."
What an evil goddess!
To request such a perverted request due to her fetish towards him, who was helpless against her threat!
Yet, as it was for everyone, it couldn't be helped, and it was for everyone, so he had to do his best!
Nevertheless, the day was peaceful, and before long, all of them went to the street to check on the Monsterphilia. Everyone was in a festive mood, especially when this was one of the rarest events in the Orario. Moreover, with its announcement in his newspaper, the popularity of this event reached another level.
Whether it was tourists, people who lived in the city, or businessmen, they all came to watch this event.
Naturally, as a member of the guild, Eina was busy, so Isao could only spend his time with other women.
"Isao-sama! Isao-sama! Can you make me part of your Familia?"
Suddenly, one of the girls among the orphans came to him and asked.
After such words were asked, many also looked at the little girl in jealousy and then looked at Isao with expectation.
Still, for others, Hestia, Loki, Demeter, Hephaestus, and all who were present looked at him curiously, wondering what Isao would say.
"No."
"....."
"No-No..." The little girl cried when she heard Isao's answer.
Isao only rubbed her head and said, "Don't beg. Make me beg for you. Study hard, become beautiful, and make me desperate, and regret not accepting you when you have become a splendid woman."
"I-I will study hard and become the best woman out there!" The little girl with one missing tooth said as she clenched her two small fists with excitement.
"I will look forward to it."
Isao patted her head softly, then noticed that many looked at him strangely. "What?"
"I didn't expect you to say anything like that." Syr looked at Isao in surprise.
"Yeah, nyaa. I thought that you would make a lie, nyaa." Chloe leaned her face against his shoulder, sniffing at him, then looking at him with a naughty smile.
"Lie isn't good."
"...say someone who said that he was a virgin, nyaa," Chloe looked at Isao resentfully.
"You are not a child. Don't be naive."
"....." Chloe.
"Still, they don't have parents, so they have to grow up early."
All of them looked at Isao's expression; they appeared calm, yet there was this melancholy on his face.
While Chloe wanted to hug him tightly, she was pushed so suddenly that she saw that her position was taken by Sword Princess, the Level 5 adventurer.
"....."
Chloe took a deep breath, trying to calm herself since she knew the difference between their power and that she would just attract annoying trouble by fighting Aiz, but then again, she wished to get stronger to fight this bitch!
"Stop fighting. Let's go to the event. We have wasted so much time here."
"Um."
"Okay, okay."
Isao then looked at the woman in traditional clothing from the Far East on the corner that happened to observe them from a distance. While he thought of ignoring her, he decided to invite her on this outing. "Hey, you, do you want to come with us?"
The woman seemed surprised, but then she bowed her head and left.
Isao felt strange, but he didn't say anything and decided to move on.
"You are being rejected, nyaa~!" Chloe poked his cheek happily.
"Is she from the Far East?" Aiz asked curiously.
"It should be. Her clothing is like someone from my hometown," Isao said.
While he didn't come from this world, he told everyone he came from the Far East, a country that was similar to his origin in the past.
"I have never heard of it before, but how is your hometown?" Runoa asked curiously.
Everyone also listened curiously.
"Like others, it is full of war, famine, illness, poverty, monsters, and many others. It isn't a good place if you are not at the top," Isao said calmly.
"..." Everyone.
"FUCK LIFE!" Chloe shouted, feeling helpless, but Isao rubbed her head, causing her to feel embarrassed. "W-What are you doing?! Don't mess with my hair!"
"Stop using dirty words. You will rub them off on those children."
"I-I know, nyaa!" Chloe pouted, but she made a note that she wouldn't say those dirty words unless she was on a bed with him.
"Come on. Let's have fun. It's my treat."
"Is that okay? Don't you have a lot of debt?"
"...stop saying that now, okay?"
As they laughed, all of them made a tour of many places, and naturally, as they came with a large group, no one dared to mess up with them. Moreover, Ganesha Familia also worked well with security, so no one committed a crime there.
At the same time, Isao remembered that there should have been monsters who had escaped and caused a disaster at this festival, but since Bell became a member of Freya Familia, nothing would have happened, right?
Still, he noticed someone with a complicated gaze watching all of this happening. "What's wrong, Ryuu? Your expression is weird."
Ryuu Lion, who heard Isao's question, appeared awkward and said, "No... it's just I can't imagine that everyone can live like this."
"You mean this peaceful?"
"...yes."
"It's good, right?"
"Yes, it is good." Ryuu smiled softly. "It is so much different from five years ago."
"Five years ago..." Isao murmured, thinking about many problems in this world. On the free school and orphan side, in the end, if he wanted to protect everyone, he had to become stronger. "You have been here for so long, Ryuu."
"Yes." Ryuu nodded, thinking about how much she had changed, and wondered what her deceased comrades would think if they saw what she was doing now. Still, watching Isao, who appeared gentle and elegant, somehow... she felt conflicted and could imagine that all of her friends might be seduced by this bad guy!
"...what's with that expression?"
"Nothing."
Isao shook his head, thinking that the elf was too sensitive, but then again, suddenly, a commotion happened, and many people started to scream.
"M-Monsters!"
"Run away! Run away!"
"Don't push me!"
Naturally, this attracted their group.
"Wh-What's happening?"
Isao frowned and said, "Pull the side, gather together. Retreat slowly; don't push each other! We have Loki Familia here!" He then looked at Aiz and said, "Aiz, can you take care of it?"
"Yes." Aiz nodded and quickly dashed toward the monster.
Still, Loki was speechless when Aiz was so obedient toward Isao. More importantly, did this guy think that her Familia was his tool or something?
While Loki was speechless, thinking that she needed to educate this young man, Isao instructed everyone to walk slowly and not to push around.
Under his instructions, the retreat was smooth, and everyone was able to get away from the danger.
Naturally, Aiz and those who came to help were also able to defeat the monsters.
"A flower monster?"
Isao, who had settled up the child and the others, came to Aiz and looked at the corpses of the monster. Even though Aiz and the others had cut it into several pieces, he could see that it had the shape of a large flower with gruesome teeth that could tear any human flesh with ease.
"It's a man-eating flower monster," Aiz said.
Isao touched the monster and recorded its DNA on his body.
[You have acquired Violas's DNA]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
Isao accepted it, but then Loki came and asked, "Hey, with your information gathering, you should know this thing, right?" She felt like Isao must have known something, but she wasn't sure what it was.
"I have seen this type of monster on Melen before."
"Huh? Melen?" Loki was dumbfounded.
"Yeah." Isao sighed helplessly, thinking that no matter where the worlds were, problems naturally existed. Still, as Loki could take care of this trouble, he decided to give it to Loki. Yet this wasn't the only danger, as what he didn't expect was that he had attracted the attention of another deity.
Watching Isao's figure from a distance, who was being questioned by Loki, the figures quickly disappeared.

It is natural, right?
