"Holy Moon Festival?"
"Yes."
Amidst the bustling crowd and excitement, the group of four passed over everyone as they talked about the current festival that happened on the Orario. As they walked, they might become the center of attention, but fortunately, those people were smart enough and just watched them from a distance and didn't interrupt their happy time.
'If it's a different world...'
Isao could only smile bitterly, but as there were many beautiful and handsome deities in this world, somehow, even if he was handsome, no one reacted exaggeratedly, which was something he was glad for.
Still, Isao had to say that this type of festival was kind of nice, especially in this world where there was hardly any way for one to enjoy their time except for sex.
"This is a traditional celebration that dates back to before the gods' descent," Daphne explained, then looked at Isao.
"What is it all about?" Isao asked.
"If I am not wrong, it is about sending prayers to the moon goddess for protection, right?" Cassandra asked.
"Yes." Daphne nodded, then looked at Isao. "Cassandra and Hestia-sama aside, it surprises me that you don't know about this festival, Isao-kun."
"I am from the Far East, after all."
"Is there a similar festival in the Far East, Isao-kun?" Hestia asked as she clung onto his arm intimately, pressing her impressive breasts as she looked at him curiously.
"Hmm...." Isao thought for a while and felt that there wasn't any festival in the Far East in this world. Due to poverty, monsters, natural disasters, diseases, and many others, there was hardly anything that the people of the Far East could do. Instead of a festival, the people of the Far East, except for those nobles, would only think about how to fill their bellies, and even from the memories of the people of the Far East that he had replicated in this world, he didn't find any festivals that were held in widespread celebration by the commoners.
If there were people in the Far East who could celebrate the festivals, it would be the nobles, as the commoners didn't have a right to that place.
"...sorry, you don't need to think so hard. Also, sorry for making you recall something unpleasant."
Hestia couldn't help but apologize to Isao, especially when she saw him trying to think so hard.
While he might not say anything if there was a reason why Isao decided to move to the Orario, it was all due to his unpleasant life in the Far East.
Whether Hestia, Daphne, or Cassandra had seen a Familia from the Far East, but frankly, they didn't have much of a good impression of them, especially when they let one of their members wear rag-like clothes. While it might be something common in the Far East, when they arrive at the Orario, they should give that person decent clothes, right?
After all, there was a saying, "When you are in an Orario, do as the Orarions do."
"But the festival, huh?"
"Was it your first time to be at the festival, Isao-kun?" Cassandra asked curiously.
"I hardly had time to enjoy life before."
"....." 3x
While Isao had become someone everyone could look up to, they knew how much of a struggle he had, whether it was being chased by a homo, powerful enemies, and many things.
"Then, let's have fun! Let's enjoy tonight!"
"Yeah!" 2x
No matter what, they had to make Isao enjoy this festival!
All the Hestia Familia members were ready to have fun, but with his popularity, it was impossible for them to enjoy this time alone.
"Isao!"
As expected, when they heard this plain yet sweet voice, they felt helpless, and like a gale, soon a beautiful figure hugged Isao.
"Aiz."
Isao looked at Aiz helplessly and asked, "Are you alright to come here? Won't your friends complain?"
"It's fine."
Compared to her Familia members or friends, Aiz wanted to spend more time with Isao.
"....." 3x
While Hestia, Daphne, and Cassandra were speechless, they had gotten used to Aiz's antics, and for Hestia, as long as she could get the heart of Isao, everything was okay, and she didn't care about Aiz, who just tried to force her way into him.
After all, no matter how tarnished Isao's body was, his heart had always been for her.
Only Daphne and Cassandra wished to get stronger so that they wouldn't be pushed away by Aiz!
"Aiz-san! Please wait! Don't leave me behind!"
It was just when Aiz came to Isao that suddenly, the one who accompanied her was left behind. Naturally, this person quickly chased after Aiz, but she was disappointed since Aiz's heart had always only been for him.
"I-Iinuma Isao?! Wh-What are you doing here?!"
The cute elf with golden yellow hair, which she tied in a ponytail, looked at Isao with a flustered and annoyed expression. As an adventurer, there was no doubt she respected Isao, especially when he often did what was impossible for others. She also knew what kind of a sacrifice Isao had made for all the people in the Orarion, yet... watching him be so close to someone that she could only look up to... made her so jealous!
'Aiz-san... Aiz-san... Aiz-san...'
Watching how obedient Aiz was on Isao's arm, Lefiya Viridis wanted to cry. However, when she thought at the despair she saw on Aiz when Isao hadn't regained consciousness, she felt a bit relieved when she saw that he was okay, yet Aiz had promised to play with her at this festival!
There was no way she would give Aiz to Isao!
"Aiz-san... didn't we promise to go to the festival together?"
As Lefiya looked at Aiz pitifully, Aiz looked away, leaning on Isao, and just closed her eyes as if she didn't hear anything.
"....." Everyone.
"Grrr!" Lefiya glared at Isao as if he was her greatest enemy!
Yet, as he met Lefiya, Isao couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Not only had he slept with the woman Lefiya looked up to, the queen she had respected, but he even slept with Lefiya's best friend.
"W-What wish those gazes?! Do you think you have won?!"
Lefiya felt that Isao's gaze was so insulting!
"....." Isao.
Still—
"I have heard that you would join the expedition, right? Don't be a burden, okay? I will watch over you! Don't mess up or do something dirty to Aiz-san!"
"Something dirty? Such as?" Isao looked at Lefiya curiously, wondering what kind of explanation Lefiya would give to him for the word "dirty" that came out from her lips.
"L-Like kissing!"
"..." Everyone.
Even the virgin goddess, Hestia, could only stare at Lefiya helplessly.
Kissing?
Aiz had done something even more horrible toward Isao!
Yet, watching the respect that this cute elf had toward Aiz, they couldn't help but feel pity and didn't break the pure image of Aiz from her mind.
"Wh-What with that gaze...?"
If it was only Isao, Lefiya might explode, but when all of them stared at her with such a gaze, she felt at a loss, as if she was being left out or something.
Still, if Isao knew what Lefiya thought, he would help her, telling her she could join if she wished to.
Regardless, since they met together, it was better for them to enjoy this festival together.
"Instead of getting angry here, how about we just enjoy the festival? It is a rare time, after all."
"Yeah, yeah."
As everyone invited Lefiya together, Aiz gave Lefiya a critical hit. "Lefiya, let's play together..."
"O-Okay..."
Lefiya could only helplessly agree, but then again, she had to admit that Aiz-san was so cute!
But then, while she hated to admit it... Isao was quite handsome, too.
As she thought so, Lefiya couldn't help but glance at him occasionally, and Daphne and Cassandra, who saw this, thought that Isao might have collected all the beautiful elves on the Orario.
While Isao wasn't sure, he could tell that Daphne and Cassandra thought something rude about him.
Yet, no matter what, they enjoyed this festival, eating delicious food and the company of the others.
At this moment, he wondered why Lefiya didn't even invite Filvis, too, since that would have been more interesting.
Unfortunately, when there was a happy moment, there would be an unhappy moment.
"Friend, lend me your ears!"
As they ate the food bought from the stalls, they heard a familiar voice.
"Ah, that group, too! Please listen to me! Hestia, please don't run away! Come here and listen to me!"
Wild Hermes came and brought them trouble.
