Turning his head, Hermes looked at the headquarters of the Dian Cecht Familia once again. While he wanted to get close to Isao, he could tell that Isao was so wary toward him, yet when he thought about Isao's experience of being chased around by a group of homo, he also understood why Isao was so wary toward him.
After all, while some gods were normal, many gods were just too extreme.
Yet, since they had lived for so long, this couldn't be helped, so they tried many things to avoid boredom.
Hermes was the same, and when he looked at Isao for the first time, he just couldn't look away.
However, Isao hated that kind of gaze the most!
Frankly, if Hermes wasn't an ally, Isao would really destroy this bastard.
"Hermes-sama..."
Nevertheless, Asfi felt that Hermes' eyes were strange.
"Nothing." Hermes shook his head, then said, "I thought that I would be able to meet Hestia and Hephaestus, but they weren't there at the meeting."
Asfi became nervous when she heard her deity's words.
"But well, Loki told me to wait for nine months." Hermes thought about the conversation he had with Loki previously. "It isn't that long, so I can wait."
Unlike a creature on the lower side, for a deity like him, nine months were short, so he didn't mind waiting.
"I wonder what will happen after nine months..."
What could happen in nine months?
Hermes showed doubt, which caused Asfi to feel speechless, but she didn't say anything, and she was glad that her deity didn't press her further.
'Nine months...'
Unlike Hermes, Asfi knew what would happen after nine months, and frankly, she was curious.
"By the way, Asfi, try to get close to him by studying together." Hermes looked at Asfi and said, "You two have "Mystery" ability, and when you learn together, you might gain a new insight."
"...."
Yet, Asfi fell silent, wondering whether Hermes wished for her to get pregnant, too.
Nevertheless, as the meeting was over and Hermes and Roymand left, Loki looked at Isao and said, "Hermes also swings that way."
"...don't scare me, okay?" Isao shuddered and quickly tapped Ryuu's hand so she could help him.
Ryuu also moved his wheelchair to the side as if trying to protect him.
Watching his expression, Loki laughed, thinking that a homo was Isao's weakness.
Still, Finn looked speechlessly at Isao and said, "However, I am surprised that you have impregnated so many women." While he might appear young, he was already in his 40s, but unlike Isao, he didn't have a descendant.
Or rather, it was quite rare for a strong adventurer to have a descendant.
Was it because they didn't need it, or was it because as they grew stronger, it had become harder to have children? Probably both of the reasons, and more importantly, as an adventurer was a dangerous profession, they refrained from making children as they didn't want their children to grow an orphan.
Yet, this guy made three children without hesitation, which made Finn speechless.
If Riveria didn't tell them, then they wouldn't know that this guy was so bad!
While Isao could feel the stare on Ryuu, he asked Finn, "Do you want to have children too?"
"...." Ryuu and Loki.
Finn was stunned, but he nodded. "To be honest, I am a little jealous of you." Like any other normal person, he also wanted to have children.
"Then, go for Tione. If you ask her, she will agree," Loki said.
"It isn't that easy, okay? You should know what I want to do, right, Loki?" Finn looked at his deity speechlessly.
Unlike any other race, Pallum was known as the weakest, especially due to its short stature and weak strength. Their only advantage was their sights and dexterity, but it was hardly useful unless one had a blessing from the deity.
Frankly, if Finn didn't rise up, his race would be as good as gone, being crushed and exploited by monsters or another race.
Finn was the hope, and that was why, if he had children, it would have to be the same race.
"Same race, huh?"
Hearing Isao's murmur, Finn looked at Isao and asked, "Do you know a good pallum, Isao-kun?"
"..." Ryuu and Loki.
Loki looked at Finn strangely and asked, "Do you want him to match you with a pallum as a wife?"
"He is good at information, after all."
"Well..." Loki thought for a while, then nodded. "Do you know a beautiful, cute, good Pallum, Isao?"
"..."
Isao was speechless, but then he looked outside the window and happened to find someone who was suitable for Finn. "How about that one?"
"Huh?" 3x
Finn, Ryuu, and Loki were speechless by the lack of effort from Isao, but they also felt curious, so they leaned toward the window and happened to see a small figure covering herself with a dirty hoodie while holding a large sack on her back. They might not be able to see the face of this figure, but they could tell that it was a female with a petite body and chestnut hair color, and from her stature, they could tell that she was Pallum.
Still, unlike Ryuu and Loki, Finn's senses were better than many, especially when he was a Level 6, so the moment he looked at that figure, he became intrigued.
"What do you think?" Isao asked.
"Thanks." Finn thanked Isao. "I will talk to her after this."
"Huh? Are you sure, Finn?" Loki was dumbfounded by how fast Finn made the decision.
"I don't have much time, and it isn't like we'll be together, so it is better to do this as soon as possible."
Finn's thoughts were simple, and he felt that it wasn't bad to trust Isao, considering Isao's reputation.
Isao might be ruthless, but there was hardly anything bad about him, and their relationship was so close, especially when he was Aiz's man.
"Well, if you say so..." Loki nodded. "If you like her, then there is no need to worry. I will help you to get her no matter who her deity is." Finn wanted to find a wife and a mother for his children, so as his deity, she would help him with all of her might.
"Thanks, Loki."
Finn said with a smile. Even if Loki might be unreliable most of the time, during the critical moments, she was someone that he trusted the most.
Still, while Finn's matters surprised Loki, she was more cornered about Hephaestus' pregnancy. "But you really impregnate Pai-chan, Isao?"
"Yeah."
"...really?"
"Yes."
If it was a male deity, Isao would hesitate, but it was different from Loki. Even if she might not have a good reputation in heaven, he believed that he could trust her, especially when she was female.
In the worst case, he would sacrifice his body to protect everyone.
Hearing that answer, Loki's slit-like eyes opened slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared at him like a serpent. "Oh, that's interesting~!"
"....." Isao.
"By the way, how do you want to settle the matter of the expedition?" Finn then glanced at Ryuu, who was by Isao's side, and asked, "Do you want to bring her too?"
Whether Loki or Finn knew Ryuu's identity, Ryuu might be a criminal, but her strength was no doubt.
"While I want to, I don't want to trouble her anymore, so this matter will be only for the Hestia Familia."
As Isao said so, he noticed Ryuu's disappointment, but he didn't say anything and pretended that he didn't notice since he felt that if she followed him, he was afraid that a big fight would happen, and frankly, he was afraid of being attacked when he was defenseless during his sleep.
'If I am not wrong, Ryuu's goddess should be Astraea, right?'
If something happened to him due to Ryuu, he thought that he should report to this goddess. Still, at the same time, he also couldn't help but think about Ryuu's comrades who had passed away in the dungeon due to the Juggernauts.
After gaining Fels' DNA, he knew that there was a way to revive someone.
Yet, he knew that Fels hadn't been able to succeed, and the result of revival had always ended up in failure.
However, what about him?
If he did it, could he succeed?
While Isao wanted to try, he didn't intend to tell Ryuu about this matter since he was afraid that she might be disappointed if he ended up failing.
Still, Ryuu watched Isao's back, hesitating as her lips squirmed, but she couldn't say anything.
In terms of communicating issues, Ryuu was Aiz's worthy rival.
"Well, then, how about we settle up the problem of the dungeon?" Finn said.
"Sure."
As they talked about the problem of the expedition, from a distance, a figure stared at the headquarters of the Dian Cecht Familia for so long before it disappeared and vanished as if it never existed.
"What's wrong?" Loki asked since she noticed Isao staring outside again. "Did you find a match for Riveria, too?"
"..."
Watching Loki's meaningful smile, Isao had to admit that he really couldn't understand any deities.
Loki might be a pervert, but there was no doubt this deity was sharp!
