Chapter 126: My luck isn’t as good as I thought
While Isao believed that his luck was average since he also often encountered misfortune, at this moment, he believed that his luck had reached a frightening level since he didn't expect that the moment he entered this world, he would meet the protagonist of this world directly.
In the middle of the forest, where there were mostly animals, trees, and many others, he happened to meet the protagonist of this world, Bell Cranel, who was about to go to the Orario, the City Labyrinth, the place where all the story began.
Yes, he might not fall on the skirt of a cute heroine, but he fell in front of the protagonist!
Isao wondered how to explain his situation, but it didn't matter since he had gained Bell's DNA.
At this moment, he believed that if he entered a bathroom, he would meet a naked woman. If he fell, panties would fall before him, and he was sure that in the future, a cute alien would appear in his bathroom inexplicably!
Still, that was the problem of the future, and now, he had to focus on the world before him, which was recounting the gains from Bell's DNA.
Bell might not be powerful, and he wasn't the hero that everyone currently looked up to. Instead, he was just a poor villager boy who wanted to chase after his dream of being surrounded by many cute girls whom he would meet in the dungeon when he became an adventurer.
Even so, Bell was the protagonist, so his luck was great, but that luck was Isao's now.
Isao took Bell's luck and replicated it, further increasing his luck. At the same time, he also gained Bell's body constitution, the magic, skills, experiences, and everything recorded inside Bell's DNA.
Still, while he tried to recount his gain, Bell never stopped talking. It might be because he was happy to meet a young man about the same age as him, and at the same time, he felt that Isao was slightly inferior to him.
Yes, inferior.
Bell was, after all, just a villager boy, so the thought of visiting a big city made him nervous, but when he saw Isao, who appeared worse than him, Isao's existence boosted his confidence.
Not only did Isao appear a little clumsy, but Isao's dress was also the reason why Bell felt that he was better.
Isao's clothes were rather worn out and appeared like they had been used so many times. Whether it was his jeans, worker jacket, t-shirt, or boots, they appeared like they had been worn so long, especially his jeans that were ripped.
'It seems he is rather poor,' Bell thought.
However, if Isao knew what Bell thought, he would roll his eyes and say that this was a fashion.
Still, it was normal for a villager boy like Bell not to understand fashion, but it didn't matter, he thought.
At the same time, Isao's bangs were rather long, and he also wore round glasses, which obscured his eyes. Frankly, he was handsome, but as a male, it was normal for Bell to think that he was more handsome since a guy was a creature who believed that they were the most handsome guy in the world.
So, even if Isao's skin was fair, it had a manly contour, a strong body, and was much taller than the protagonist of this world; Bell thought that he was still better than Isao.
Nevertheless, even if Isao had gotten everything from Bell's DNA, he wasn't going to throw Bell away. Instead, it was good to talk with Bell since having a single trip was a little lonely.
"So, you are going to become an adventurer, Cranel-san?" Isao asked curiously.
"Yes!" Bell nodded with an excited smile. "I want to become a hero and be remembered by everyone like those stories!"
"That's amazing." Isao nodded. "I believe you can do it, Cranel-san."
"Thanks~!" Bell smiled happily at Isao's praise.
People were like this, after all. They felt happy just because they were being listened to.
"How about you, Iinuma? Are you going to have an adventure, too?" Bell asked curiously.
"No." Isao shook his head and said, "I just plan to get a job there. I have heard that Orario is the best city in the world, and there should be many job offers there, so I take a journey from my hometown to Orario."
"Huh? Why? You should become an adventurer, too!" Bell tried to invite Isao to become an adventurer since he felt that it was a shame for a friend that he had just met to part away like this.
"No, I am weak. I don't think that I am suitable to become an adventurer." Isao refused softly.
"I-I see..." If Isao felt that way, then there was nothing that Bell could do. "But I believe that you can do it, though, Iinuma." Still, he didn't give up.
Isao only smiled and said, "You don't have to invite me again, Cranel-san. I have heard that being an adventurer is a dangerous job, so I don't think that this job is suitable for me, and I don't have the courage like you."
"C-Courage?" Bell somehow felt happy by Isao's praise, but then he nodded. "But you are right. I won't give up on becoming an adventurer even though it's dangerous!" Even though he knew that it was dangerous, the thought of becoming a hero who was worshipped by everyone and encountered many cute girls had always been his dream!
"O-Okay."
Bell nodded, and then his eyes shone once again as he watched the imposing walls that surrounded the Orario. Moreover, there were so many people of many races. This place was going to be his first step to becoming a hero, Bell thought.
Still, whether it was Bell or Isao, they didn't really attract much attention, and people only glanced at them for a while but then stopped at Isao before they looked away and kept looking at him.
Unlike Bell, those people could tell that Isao was attractive.
However, Isao ignored those gazes since he was about to enter Orario.
Still, entering the Orario was quite easy as they only needed to be asked by the guards and paid some money.
However, as Bell didn't have money, Isao was the one who paid Bell's entry.
"Th-Thank you, Iinuma!" Bell was embarrassed and quickly said, "I will repay you in the future!"
"It's fine. You don't have to worry about it." Isao then looked at the guards and asked, "By the way, can I ask where is the headquarters of the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia?"
"What's wrong?" The guard looked at Isao in doubt.
"We are from the countryside, and we want to see the strongest Familias on the Orario."
"Oh, if that's the case..." The guard then kindly told Isao where Loki Familiar and Freya Familia's home was.
Naturally, Bell listened intently, and Isao thanked the guard. "Thank you."
"No problem. Enjoy your stay here." The guard waved his hand at Isao's polite words.
"Thank you, Iinuma." Bell thanked Isao once again.
"It's fine." Isao shook his head and asked, "Are you going there now?"
"Yes." Bell nodded and said, "Let's meet again in the future, Iinuma! I will work hard to become a famous adventurer!" Saying those words, he directly left Isao and chased after his dream.
Watching Bell's exciting reaction, Isao only showed a helpless expression, thinking that Bell was a kid, but then again, he felt good since he had helped Bell.
He was a good person, he thought, since he didn't even get angry even if Bell didn't say "thank you."
Still, as he entered the city, someone suddenly hit him.
"Ah, I am sorry."
The man was handsome and quite polite as he quickly apologized, but Isao was dumbfounded.
"...."
[You have acquired Apollo's DNA]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
When Isao was dumbfounded, the man looked at Isao and then said with a gentle smile, "If you don't mind, let me treat you at my mansion to apologize."
"No, it's fine. I have to go now."
Isao ran.
Only the man who hit Isao kept staring at his back.
No, he was staring at Isao's butts as it was his first time to see such sexy buttocks that were wrapped in well-fitted jeans, and subconsciously, he licked his lips.
Only Isao was crying, wondering what was wrong with his luck?!
