Chapter 144: An eye for an eye
Apollo Mansion, located in the southeast, appeared luxurious and grand.
When they arrived, Isao and Hestia knew that this was the home of the Apollo Familia. Still, even if this place was massive, it didn't hinder their intention to fight the Apollo Familia.
Hestia looked at Isao, who was as calm as ever, which made her speechless since they were about to face their hundreds of enemies, yet this guy... was...
'Can you show some anxiety?'
Even though she was his goddess, she felt worthless since she couldn't do anything for him, but not now since they were going to fight together.
Moreover—
Hestia touched her forehead and blushed while showing a silly smile.
"Um... Hestia."
"Ah, yes! Apollo! You are there, right? Open the gate!" Hestia shouted with anger.
Isao took a deep breath, hoping that this goddess of his would-be would be reliable during this critical moment.
As soon as Hestia's voice fell, the gate opened automatically, and they were greeted by all the members of the Apollo Familia, who had been waiting for them, standing right and left, welcoming them, yet from their acts, it was clear that they wanted to give them pressure.
Yet, the two never wavered and pressed forward, even if many of them stared dangerously in their direction.
Then, as they entered, the entrance of the mansion was opened, and Apollo was there, staring at them with his disgusting smile as usual. "Hello, Hestia. What brings you all the way out here?"
Hestia snorted, felt angry, then looked at the small human, or a race known as a Pallum. "Pallum-kun, give me that glove."
"Eh?" Pallum was startled, but he couldn't refuse the request of the goddess.
Even though Hestia might not be strong and her strength was just about normal human strength, her dignified and divine aura couldn't be hidden.
Yes, she might be unreliable usually, but now?
Isao was glad that he had chosen the right goddess.
"O-Okay."
Tremblingly, the pallum gave him his glove, which Hestia snatched and threw into Apollo's face.
Apollo couldn't dodge, or he didn't dodge; either way, the glove fell on his face, yet even with all of that, he kept his disgusting smile.
However, this caused all the members of the Apollo Familia to become nervous and dumbfounded, especially the Pallum, as it was his glove that fell on Apollo's face.
"Fine! I will accept your challenge for the War Game!"
Hearing Hestia's declaration, Apollo couldn't hide his excitement and happiness. "Both deities have agreed! The War Game will take place, everyone!"
"All right!"
"Tell the guild!"
"Call an emergency for Denatus!"
Suddenly, out of many places, many deities came out, seemingly excited for the War Game.
Isao didn't say anything and just remembered all of their faces silently.
"I am so excited!"
"It's been so long!"
Apollo was also excited, and his eyes never looked away from Hestia and Isao, especially Isao, as he licked his lips, watching his unwavering expression, and couldn't wait to break that expression apart on his bed~!
"The rules will be decided fairly in the presence of the gods. I will send you the details later."
"...you are really a party boy, aren't you?" Hestia was speechless.
Isao smiled and said, "Then, I will go now."
"Ah, wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
"Something? Food?"
"I-I mean... a kiss!"
"..." Isao.
"Kiss me, okay? If so, then I will work hard!" Hestia looked at Isao shyly, thinking about the kiss on her forehead before, which gave her a butterfly on her belly.
Was she pregnant?
Oh, no!
'But if it's him...'
Hestia didn't mind at all!
"...." Isao.
Still, Hestia closed her eyes, waiting for his kiss, but Isao only flicked her forehead.
"It hurts!"
She held her forehead and complained. "What are you doing?!" Well, it didn't hurt, but she couldn't help but act this way since Isao didn't act like she wished to.
"Stupid."
"Did you get embarrassed? Aren't you cute, I-sa-o-kun~?"
As his calm expression broke, Hestia couldn't help but tease him.
"...."
If Isao wished to, he could take the virginity of this silly goddess, though.
Still, watching this smug goddess, who thought that she could get the upper hand on him, Isao matched her height by crouching down, lifting her bangs, and then kissing her forehead softly.
"Satisfied?"
"..." Hestia.
"Then, I will go now. See you in six days."
Isao then left and entered the dungeon.
However, Hestia didn't leave and stared at him with a blush, but soon, her expression became solemn since as he was going to fight, she was going to give her everything to fight, too!
Still, as Hestia made up her mind to fight, Isao, who had entered the dungeon, suddenly used his ability to cause the world to stop, and he directly entered the new world.
If Apollo Familia was cheating, then Isao was going to use a similar method.
An eye for an eye.
Isao was going to destroy the Familia of Apollo!
