Urgh, my head is still spinning. That Eina-san.
Not only she declined the [Grimoire of the Hearth] from mine, she also knock me out cold.
Arriving a little late because of what she did, I asks Kami-sama after my return why Eina-san did such thing to me when I only ask her like how I did to Ryu-san and Alise-san to be one of the candidate of that Grimoire. But then Astraea-sama looks confused and questioned if I did something before it happened.
"D-deal!? W-what deal? And a month? Are you nuts? Can you really level up in just a month?"
After my explanation, Astraea-sama let out that eprimanding tone. Even the girls were pretty surprised after hearing my bold move.
"Can" I only stated.
"S-seriously?" Yeah, I'm dead serious.
Looking at her with confidence, Kami-sama looks terrified. But I sure am, so I nodded. Why did she react like that though? Actually, I can even calculate the highest level I can achieve in just a year. Its just that, the limelight will be none other than mine if I do that crazy leveling without restraint. . .Ow I remember---
"By the way Kami-sama, the last time I talked to a deity. They knew I am falna-less, how's that? I thought only you and Ouranos knows this matter?" Yeah, I still remember that Hephaestus and Zeus called me 'falna-less' almost everytime but this is the first time I opened the topic to Kami-sama about this issue.
"You're already quite popular so those curious gods already checked your backgrounds especially because you're the only male in my familia, adding that you didn't dive inside the dungeon, they squeezes information out of Ouranos and the Guild"
"Eh? so that's the wrinkled old man's fault?"
"O-of course I won't sell you no water what!"
"Fufu, that's why I really love you my goddess! You never sold me out" I chuckled whilst she turned bashfully red. Sell me all you want, but don't push me away O' my dear goddess. That is more than enough of attention for this subpar human called Agwin.
I wanted to embrace her but I heard a voice from somewhere "Don't create your own world when we are here!" rather, below us, I only see is a colored pink short hair.
This fox! When did you arrive here! It was Lyra who barked from the side.
It almost freak me out but I teases her: "Oho, I'm sorry little child, did I accidentally bump into you? here, fetch this for your food later----yawch aw aw awch!"
As I'm about to throw something, but Lyra simultaneously bit my hand while keeping herself hanging. No matter how many times I fling her pallum body, she didn't retreated.
"Ah ah ah, p-p-pink fox! let go of me!" I bellow
"hmhu har hyu khuling ah phinx fhux!?" (who are you calling a pink fox!?) So she replied while still latching on my hand using only her shark-like teeth. Her sly smile could clearly be seen from that words! Ahh bastard! I'll kill you!
While still flailing her, I don't know when but the girls let out a thunderous laugh while cheering for Lyra. Damn it! Am I a demon lord here that needs to be defeated!?
I look where my goddess and pleading with teary eye but she's also let out a wild laugh along with others, loud enough to reverberated our home. . .What the fuck! Someone help me!
●○●○●○
Dinner came with a blink of an eye and my hand has a wrapper---I can still hold a fork though but that sly fox's teeth is almost tore my skin apart so Celty gave me her first aid [Lesser Heal] to heal it faster than normal but damn its still throbbing!
I let that thought as this is the first time I saw them laughing together. Ryu-san is not in my field of vision during then so I don't have an idea if she laughs among them.
But then again, my spine started to tinged as I heard Kaguya-san's voice after munching a piece of beef and delicately raised a piece of tissue to wipe out the oil, dripping from the side of her mouth: "Agwin, may I ask what is your bet between that half-elf from adventurer guild?"
Finally after hearing her words, sweat started to form and profusely drizzle out of my forehead. I hastily stuff all of the dish in my plate, with an excuse that my mouth is full but all of the girls looked at me menacingly! Ahh I don't like where this is going! Again!
No---no no no! I can't help but to looked at the raven-haired witch who started this! But she only continue eating her own and even lick some drop of sauce dripping from her fork which is too sexy! Ahh not that! I should be angry! But damn, she doesn't care at all. . .after then, she questioned again while looking at me:
"What? Are you still not gonna answer? You're mouth is empty and currently no food on your plate. Its a simple question to answer, correct?"
My hand, my body and even my lips are all shaking. What am I going to say then!? "T-that. . .I guess I s-shouldn't tell?" With trembling lips, I answered at last.
"Why? I thought you promised not to hide anything from me anymore? Did you seriously want to break your oath for a trifling matter?" Astraea-sama questioned with serious look. That face alone made me shiver in cold!
Argh I'm screwed! and all because of that wicked witch! did she know something!? Did she know our bet?
"Haaaah*" Kaguya-san sigh in disappointment and pulled a folding fan out of nowhere and followed: "It seems like, I should have to tell them instead, huh?"
And look at me with faint grin! No way!? Did she---at that time in Adventurer's Guild! She's there!?
Although she covers it with the folding fan, I can still see her lips from behind! Don't use your fan if its transparent! I wanted to cursed out "Its about-----"
"---s-sex!" And so, I cut her word with a sudden shout and stood up!
It's better to tell that by me instead of her! I still have this shitty pride, after all!
Alright ladies! Don't look at me with disgraceful looks!
Good thing they finished their meal, Kaguya at the same time let out the *Pfffft* sound, restraining her laugh. Damn you wench, I'll let you feasted by monstees soon!
Of course I explained why. It wasn't me who ask for that bet after all. Good thing Astraea-sama believed me but of course with few scold.
Ahh! In the end, its only my goddess who understands me all along, ahhh. I love you to the core, Kami-sama<3. . .
I felt that my heart raced just saying the word for the second time today, Oh well. . .
