Chapter 330: You are with me
The appearance of Isao made everyone happy, and all of them knew that everything was okay with him.
However, their jaws dropped when he effortlessly conjured a grand house in the middle of the forest for his deity and Familia members to find respite.
"You can have one of the rooms, Ryuu."
"Ah, thank you."
Ryuu felt a bit awkward as she had to leave everyone in the Hermes Familia. However, if she could sleep in a comfortable bed in the house, why should she sleep in a tent?
More importantly, she wasn't a member of the Hermes Familia, so there was no need for her to take care of their feelings since, being an adventurer, everyone had to prepare themselves and be ready for everything.
Still, while Ryuu happily joined Isao's group, the members of Hermes Familia could only show a longing expression. While the guys knew that they could only endure everything as they knew Isao wouldn't be so kind and gentle toward them, the girls' side also decided to endure everything as they knew that it would be unfair for them to accept Isao's offer to stay inside his portable house, or even take a bath on the warm water inside the house.
Yet, strangely enough, Isao didn't bother to invite them and just talked with Asfi and the spearheads of the Hermes Familia as he needed to understand the situation of the area, considering how he had to fight against the legendary monster, Antares, tomorrow.
"....." The female members of the Hermes Familia.
Isao had always been fair, and he didn't treat the female differently like most male protagonists. If that female really deserved a beating, then he would beat them like Shizuku.
As for Maya, who has teased him in the past?
Isao felt like Maya tried to remind him instead of trying to harm him. Regardless, having a harem as he married her in the world of "Mahouka" and plunged her deeply every day as she cried was probably the best revenge for her, right?
Anyway, Maya was pregnant with his child, so this matter was over.
Nevertheless, while he might get resentment from the Hermes Familia, who was jealous that he could sleep in the good house, he didn't care since he wasn't their mother, and he didn't have any obligations to give them comfort. More importantly, he wasn't their servant, so why should he provide them a place when they gave him nothing?
Being kind was probably nice and all, but then again, he had to fight against the Antares tomorrow, and he also had to face a big decision in his life, so he really didn't have time to think about the feelings of the members of the Hermes Familia.
More importantly, did they even dare to feel resentment toward him?
No one dared to do so, especially when they knew how powerful he was.
Even Hermes didn't say anything, so all of them could only stay quiet, but Asfi looked at the house behind Isao and asked, "...Isao-san, do you think it is possible for me to learn the ability to build a portable house like this?"
When this question fell, everyone quickly looked at Isao, hopefully.
Isao really had no way to think about this matter now, especially when he thought about what would happen to Artemis.
The divine spear, no, it should be an arrow, was a divine weapon, a special weapon from heaven that was even capable of killing a deity!
While it was true that he could craft it as he had the DNA of Hephaestus, the best goddess of blacksmith, it needed a unique material and time to craft it!
Unless he had an ability that allowed him to craft something with ease, like the ability he gained from Miyabi in the world of (Isekai Craft Gurashi Jiyu Kimamana Seisan Shoku No Honobono Slow Life), then he could only use his hands and luck.
Lastly, there wasn't even time to craft it, so he could only use the divine arrow given by Artemis. However, when he thought about the requirements for using it, he just couldn't help but frown.
He hadn't seen Antares, but for a monster who could only be killed by a divine weapon, he knew that this monster shouldn't be underestimated.
Frankly, he didn't care about Artemis that much in the beginning as he knew that she had been using him, but as they got closer, closer to the time they would fight Antares, he could hear the scream of her heart.
Fear, despair, sadness, and everything.
With his ability to replicate DNA, he could know Artemis' thoughts, and because of that, he had to face her, asking her what she wanted by expressing his thoughts.
So, when the night came, Isao called Artemis to go with him.
"Let's go out."
"Eh?" Artemis was surprised, but she nodded. "Okay." While she didn't know what he planned, she agreed with his invitation immediately. Their time was limited, and this might be the last time they would be together, so she agreed immediately.
Leaving the group, the two held each other's hands and went on a secret trip together.
With the companions of the stars and the moon, the two walked toward the beautiful, clear lake with white sand.
The moon was reflected on the surface of the lake, and fireflies danced in its surroundings, giving an ethereal, picturesque scene before their eyes.
"It's beautiful...." Artemis murmured, but she knew that everything was beautiful because she had him by his side, and this also made her content with everything.
Wasn't this enough?
With his companion until now, she should be satisfied and shouldn't be greedy, but all of the determination disappeared when she heard his question.
"Do you want to run away with me?"
