Chapter 140: Under the moonlight
Isao's sudden interruption shattered the tranquility of the dinner, drawing everyone's attention. Yet he remained composed, facing the crowd and offering an unexpected proposition. "I apologize for the disruption to your dinner, so let me apologize by treating all of your dinner tonight, and we shall celebrate with a grand party!"
His gestures, voices, and everything.
He was ready to go all out for tonight's party!
"...."
Everyone blinked their eyes before they roared in excitement.
"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!"
Still, while the guests were happy, Hestia, Eina, Syr, Mia, and the other waitresses stared at Isao speechlessly, who pulled Hyakinthos, who passed out closer to Mia.
"Mama, I am sorry for fighting here. Hyakinthos here told me that he wanted to cover everything, whether the damage to your pub or everyone's dinner." Isao then looked at Hyakinthos and asked, "Right, Hyakinthos-kun?"
"Un."
While the voice wasn't like Hyakinthos's, Hyakinthos nodded obediently before Isao let him lie on the bar since he seemed to be sleepy.
"What a kind young man Hyakinthos is..." Isao murmured, thinking that he had to put more effort into becoming a good person or else Hyakinthos would beat him!
"...." Everyone.
"So, Mama, you don't have to worry." Isao looked at Mia with a gentle smile.
Mia looked at Isao helplessly and waved her hand. "You can go back."
"Thanks. I love you, Mama! If I am born earlier, I will pursue you!"
"....." Mia.
Isao then quickly picked up Hestia and Eina. "Let's go back."
"Um." 2x
The two quickly nodded, but when they were about to leave, Syr quickly stopped him. "Isao-kun, are you going to be okay?"
Isao stopped and looked at Syr with a composed smile. "I will be fine. You don't have to worry. More importantly, I am sorry for troubling you all. I owe you all. If you need my help, just tell me. Then, we'll leave first."
He no longer lingered and quickly left with Eina and Hestia.
While the guests were having a party, Mia, Syr, and the other waitresses looked at Isao's back helplessly since they knew that his problem was far from over.
"Eina, let me send you back first."
Yet Isao didn't know their thoughts and focused on sending Eina home first.
Still, Eina couldn't just go home like this and asked worriedly. "Are you going to be fine, Isao-kun?"
"I will be fine. You don't have to worry. You should rest and sleep tight tonight. More importantly, I am sorry for letting you see that scene before."
"No, no. It's fine..." Eina shook her head gently, then said with a blush. "You were kind of cool before..."
"...."
Cool?
"Now, after I have provoked the Apollo Familia, no gods or goddesses will accept me into their Familia. I have nowhere to go, and you are the only one to rely on. Take responsibility for me, okay? Don't be a scumbag."
Isao looked at Hestia with a reprimanded expression, like a woman who was afraid for her man to leave her after he made her pregnant.
"I will! I will take your responsibility forever until death parts us!"
Hestia cried as she said those vows loudly.
"...that's a bit heavy. I don't want that."
"No! Your goddess can only be me! No one can take you away from her!"
Yes, she had made up her mind.
Even if they die, no matter what, they will be together!
Even if she was inferior, so what?
She believed that she could support him and they would grow together!
"....."
Isao let out a helpless sigh, feeling helpless by her heavy love, and this made him wonder whether he could achieve his dream of helping all of those women in need in this world.
"I love you! I love you! I love you!"
"Enough, you are going to wake up those who are sleeping."
"I love you!"
"I know. I know."
Isao decided to give up and let her continue to talk like a broken radio.
Under the moonlight, with him holding her in his arms, Hestia hugged him tightly with a beautiful smile, never letting him go, wishing for the time to continue forever.
"Isao..."
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
"I know."
How about you?
Yet, Hestia didn't say the words in her heart since as long as he was with her, she was satisfied, and she knew that everything would be okay since he told her he would stay with her.
Still, she thought for something and asked unsurely, "Do you like a woman like Mama?"
If so, then she would build her muscles!
"....." Isao.
Yet, as expected, even though Isao had reassured them that everything would be okay, the situation wasn't okay at all, especially the next day when the guild summoned Hestia Familia for the injuries that had been inflicted on the Apollo Familia!
