Chapter 378: Style up!
Isao wasn't sure about what Haruhime learned from Aisha, but he didn't care much since he knew well that Aisha wouldn't do anything harmful to him. Instead, he could tell that this woman would try to seduce him!
When he thought about Aisha's tanned, glistening skin and long, beautiful black hair, he fell into silence for a while before he crouched down for a moment.
Nevertheless, he wasn't a lustful guy!
More importantly, let's just focus on the party!
There wasn't much preparation, but when the night came, unlike the gloomy atmosphere of the entire Orario, in the mansion of the Hestia Familia, the atmosphere wasn't much different. Instead, it was warm, gentle, and fun, which made Loki speechless.
"How the heck did you decide to have a party when we were about to have a battle against Dionysus and Evilus, bastard?!"
When Loki thought about her children, who were still working hard to dig out the ever-growing green meat that made it impossible to dig, she couldn't help but lament the cruelty of the world.
Those at the bottom could do nothing and only hoped that those who were above would take care of them.
Still—
"Go back, then."
Isao glanced at Loki's flat chest, then looked away and continued to sip his wine.
Grinding her teeth hatefully, Loki snorted and said, "I won't go back!" After she said so, she drank all the wine in her glass before she took the rest of the bottle, working with all of her might to consume all of the expensive collection within Isao's home so that way, this guy would understand why he shouldn't anger her!
Yet, Loki knew well that with this guy's wealth, it was impossible for him to become poor just because she consumed all of his wine.
Nevertheless, while this was a party, it was more like a gathering instead.
Everyone who participated, from Hestia, Artemis, Freya, Demeter, and many of his women, were talking, sipping alcohol, and glancing at him from time to time, trying to search for a chance to be together with him.
Nevertheless, if there was someone who made Artemis and Demeter dumbfounded, it was how Hephaestus, who they hadn't seen for a while, had a slightly bulging belly.
"Hephaestus, what's happening?"
"Are you okay?"
Artemis and Demeter looked at Hephaestus worriedly.
It was impossible for a deity to get sick, and even if they ate a lot of things, they also wouldn't get fat. In other words, nothing would change about them no matter what they did. Everything about them was eternal and impossible to change, so why did Hephaestus' appearance suddenly change?!
Why did Hephaestus suddenly get a little fat?!
It was like his War Game against the Apollo Familia; he, alone, faced everyone with his straight and long blade!
In this battle, nothing could be stopped, and everyone released all the desires that they had been hiding. Their bodies became hotter, and it felt so uncomfortable, yet when he held them, they felt everything was completed.
On that night, everyone cried and sang with the sweetest voices that could only be heard by him. he also had never fought, but in the middle of that fight, those who were rested after they were defeated noticed a floating lantern in the night sky.
In this night sky, the appearance of the floating lantern quickly attracted many, especially with its white cloth that was used for a lantern and the gentle orange light within the lantern that made it float.
If it was one or two, no one would say anything, but there were hundreds or even thousands of them!
With this number, the darkest night became gentle and colorful, and everyone stared at this scenery with a gentle smile on their faces.
"This is...?"
Everyone somehow looked at Isao curiously.
Even Artemis, who was being pinned down, also looked at Isao as she panted.
"I asked Maria to lead the children in making them. Those children might not be able to do anything, but they hope to do something, so I have them make those lanterns to pray to everyone for the battle."
Sky lanterns.
In his original world, this might not be something unusual, but in this world, it was something that had never happened, and because of that, everyone couldn't help but marvel at its beauty.
Frankly, this was dangerous, especially when it might cause a fire hazard and bring danger to the livestock, but Isao could handle it, so it didn't matter, and at the same time, he just wanted to see it.
Yet, those who have seen this had different feelings, and after a moment of appreciation, they continued to do what they did, making a new generation until dawn.
Nevertheless, on the next day, when everyone was finished, Isao washed his body up and dressed in his best dress, as if he was welcomed by everyone. Many of them were exhausted, but their eyes were bright and full of determination.
"Win, Isao-kun."
"We will be at your back."
"Give your all!"
As they reached his back, all of them sent their prayers to him, hoping it would give him power for his next fight.
Unlike before, Isao knew that his life was no longer his and he had many responsibilities, so he knew that in this battle, there was only one result that was allowed, and that was his victory.
"I will."
