Chapter 23

Chapter 23

I woke up from my dream of being back in my old world working back in the office to Lili rolling over me to get off the bed as we were both not morning people I didnt blame her.

I could hear Bell yelling upstairs, but it was too muffled to understand what he was saying so I just threw myself off the all to comfortable bed.

I passed Lili as she was slowly putting on her clothes and she was still obviously half asleep with how she was yawning and having problems strapping on her boots. "Ugh I hate mornings..." I muttered and Lili's dog-ear's twitched and she absently nodded.

After washing my face off I got all dressed and ready for the day of the Monsterphelia.

As I walked upstairs, I saw Bell was already about to walk out and from the intensity of the light outside it looked to be about Ten, AM but the festival itself wouldn't be starting for a couple more hours.

I went to Hestia who was sitting on a bench kinda dozing and sat beside her and held her hand as I watched Bell get ready for his totally not a date rendezvous with his half elf advisor. "You excited for your first date Bell?" I teased.

"What do you mean Jake it's not a date!" He sputtered making both me and Hestia share a look of pity for Eina but I decided to nip his obliviousness in the bud.

"Dude, she asked you out to eat alone. Not with us just you and her. That's basically the very definition of a date."

Bell looked dumbstruck and clearly couldn't deny the truth I was feeding him. "But I love Ais though." He said numbly.

I face palmed. "Bell you literally don't know a damn thing about Ais Wallenstein. But either way you accepted a date with Eina Tull, so what is your plans."

Seeing Bell's conflicted look, I just groaned at how indecisive he was. "Look just enjoy the date and be honest with her. Oh, and most importantly we should all keep our weapons with us, never know if the Ganesha Familia is going to fuck up and let loose some monsters into the city

Even Lili who just joined us upstairs gave me an odd look for that comment. Hestia nudged me playfully from my side. "I doubt Ganesha would do something so stupid as letting monster's run freely throughout the city."

Me and Lili shared a look till she deflated and lowered her head sheepishly. "We can burn down Soma's drug dens when Hestia gets drunk next time as righteous vengeance Lili." I said softly petting Lili's head

"Hey!" Hestia cried out "I'm not that bad!" She pouted before a serious expression came to her face.

"Jake remember those wards you put up, well...." I waited for her as she blushed till she took a deep breath and slowly said. "Someone female has been trying to scry into the wards and uhm they saw us be intimate... Don't worry I closed the wards to them though!" She shouted at the end as though hiding something

Huh so it's almost certainly Freya and her magic mirror though I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Fel's is keeping track of the deity's actions if he can get around to spying on them. "So, any idea's as to who might be doing this?"

"I have a few ideas about who it could be interested in doing it but the most likely would-be Nyx or Hecate as we were pretty close back in Tenkai, and uhm they are both famous for being perverts and never wanting to leave their homes..."

You know thinking about their domains I could see why she would think a magic goddess would be able to cook something up to act as a scrying tool and I don't even want to imagine what a primordial goddess could do if she was so inclined.

"Well either way with the wards closed they shouldn't be an issue, right?" Lili said cutting to the heart of the issue even if I could see she was embarrassed at being caught with someone.

Hestia blushed and squirmed in her seat. "Well, that's just the thing... I was hoping we could let them peak during our fun times."

"Thud. I buried my face in my hands as I realized I have awoken the terrible perversions held within every Greek God. Lili spoke softly and her words only added to my incredulity "If master Jake wants to tease another woman I don't mind."

Hestia grabbed my face and stared me in the eye. "Please Jake..." I grimaced at the thought of possibly God knows how many other people possibly sitting with Freya may see us fucking and that was my biggest hang up about this. "Jake if you allow this, I will be the head wife and you may have three other wives and five concubines..."

"What the fuck? Does she think I am a shitty young master in a wuxia novel?" I thought.

"Hestia you don't need to throw a bunch of possible women at me. Just I don't want a bunch of people watching us fucking so let's just table this for now. Plus, the festival is starting soon so we should leave." I added seeing both girls about to argue.
