While sohow many weren't surprised by Isao's decision, Artemis and Hers quickly lost their calm.
"Huh?! Why?!" Hers was dumbfounded and asked, "Why did you refuse Artemis, Isao-kun?"
"Could you tell the reason why you refused , Orion?" Artemis asked, but calmly.
"First, my na is Iinuma Isao. My na isn't Orion, and I am not a replacent for anyone, so I hope you can respect and call by my na instead of that na."
Isao wasn't a pushover after all, and he wouldn't be a replacent for anyone. More importantly, while Orion might seem cool, he knew that this na was nothing but bad luck, especially when he thought of Orion's story.
He was a fearso hunter, yet in the end, he was killed when he was about to take the virginity of Artemis.
Moreover, instead of using others' nas, he wanted his na to be the one that was rembered by Artemis, not Orion.
Just imagine if they were sleeping together. Would Artemis call him Orion when she cried lewdly then?
It was weird, right?
So, Isao wanted Artemis to fix her habit of calling him by his na instead of Orion.
Watching Isao, who didn't flinch and even showed his dignity even if he was a mortal in front of Artemis, who was known as the best hunter in heaven, whether it was Hestia, Hers, or the others, were in awe.
A deity was wishful and facing a mortal; they couldn't care less about their opinions, but then they forgot that who they faced wasn't that pushover mortal that would worship them and lick them until soaked wet like a dog.
Facing Artemis, who was shocked, Isao also added, "Secondly, I have sothing that I have to do. While I know that there must be a reason why you have to choose soone based on those who are chosen by that spear... I can't go out with you."
"Wa-Wait, Isao-kun! We need you!"
"Hers, did you not rember our eting before?" Isao looked at Hers helplessly. "I have promised Loki Familia and the Hephaestus Familia on the expedition to the 59th Floor. Do you think I can leave Orario?"
Hers fell into silence and fell into a dilemma. Yes, Artemis was in trouble, but then, wasn't Orario even in deeper trouble?
If the others were reliable and could handle the other problem, then they wouldn't have this trouble, but for all those two problems, the only one that could solve this problem was Isao!
Was it even possible for him to go to the two places at the sa ti?
Impossible.
The trip to help Artemis would take so long, and the expedition was even longer.
Which one should he go to?
More importantly, on this expedition with Loki Familia and the Hephaestus Familia to the 59th Floor of the dungeon, Isao wanted to make sure his importance was safe.
eting his gaze, Aiz smiled softly.
"...." Lefiya.
Only Hers had a great headache, wondering what he should do.
Still, Isao said, "How about you choose another person? While it might be strange, I know that soone should be able to do this quest."
While Artemis was beautiful, he didn't have much of an interest in her. At this mont, he was no longer the sa man as before. Even if Artemis was a virgin, so what? There were many virgins by his side, such as Hestia, Ryuu, and even Lefiya.
Isao was no longer soone who would jump into the arms of beautiful won like a monkey in the heat.
"Eh? Really? Who?"
This was the only way, and Hers quickly agreed with Isao's advice, knowing how dangerous Isao's expedition would be on the 59th Floor, considering it was related to the Orario.
While Artemis was important, she wasn't his priority, so—
"I beg you."
Artemis sohow bowed her head to Isao.
"A-Artemis?!" Hestia was shocked by Artemis's act since she couldn't imagine the proud deity bowing her head like this.
"I know that you have sothing important that you have to protect, but this ti, I beg of you to go with and help . It can't be anyone. Only you, O... I an, Isao-kun."
There was no dignity of a goddess and Artemis desperately begged for Isao.
Isao might have said that there was soone who could replace him, but how could she accept it?
The person chosen by the spear was him, and he was the one who could solve her situation.
More importantly, she really felt that he was the one.
Yes, Isao might not be as pure as he appeared to be, but there was no doubt that, as a man, he was soone who could be relied on and dependable.
For such a man... it was impossible for her to give up.
"Even if you said it that way..."
"Wallensteinsoemthing, can you let Isao follow Artemis?"
"Hestia?"
Isao was dumbfounded when he looked at Hestia, who begged Aiz.
If there was a reason why Isao chose the expedition more than a trip with Artemis, it was because he knew that the expedition that would be faced by Aiz would be filled with danger.
If Aiz agreed to let go and supported Isao in going with Artemis, Hestia knew that he would agree to this request.
How could Aiz agree?
Isao was her hero, and it was impossible for her to share him with anyone. Frankly, if possible, she wanted to erase all of those won who got close to him so he could be only for hers, forever and ever~!
However, suddenly—
"Isao, you should go."
"Huh? Really?" Isao looked at Aiz, wondering what was wrong with her as she suddenly changed her decision.
"Um, go and help Goddess Artemis."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
As Aiz nodded, Isao felt strange, but as she had agreed, he thought for a while and took out sothing from his space inventory. "Aiz, take this."
"Hmm?"
Aiz caught the item which was given by Isao. It was like a pendant, she thought. "For ?" The pendant was beautiful, and she thought that it was a gift from him.
"Yes." Isao nodded. "When you need , just call . I will co."
"Okay."
While no one was sure how Isao would co, Aiz believed in him.
Had it been before, Hestia might have thrown a tantrum, but she knew that Aiz had decided to relent and decided to let Isao help Artemis. Suddenly, she felt that Aiz wasn't bad at all. "Thank you, Wallensoemthing!"
"Thank you." Artemis also thanked Aiz since she knew if Aiz didn't agree, then Isao wouldn't co to help her.
Still, what they didn't know, Aiz thought that this expedition was her chance to grow stronger, and when she grew stronger, she could monopolize him!
Only, while Hestia wasn't sure, her Isao sensor told her that Isao would be in danger again!
"Okay, let's start the preparation right away! Let's go now!"
With everything decided, or when everyone was in this mood, Hers quickly threw the oil so everything could be smooth, as he tried to avoid Isao's gazes.
Only at this mont, Filvis, who stayed on the Dionysus Familia, was drunk, feeling her headlight and feeling that everything was out of control due to the sll of wine.
"So amazing! It was so amazing that he could seduce you, Filvis! More importantly, what an easy woman you are to fall for his sweet talk like that..."
Dionysus sighed, feeling helpless, and was also filled with anger since the woman, the tool that he liked so much, would be swayed by the sweet talks of his enemy.
At the sa ti, they underestimated him.
Those mortals thought that they could win against him and destroy his plan, but who was he?
He was a deity!
He was an existence that was above all of them, an omnipotent existence that couldn't be defeated!
Yet, how dare this mortal look down on him and even seduce his tool?!
More importantly, Dionysus hated the way Isao looked down on him, thinking that no matter what kind of a struggle he did, everything was aningless.
"Let's do it, then. Let's have a fight. You and . When I get serious, can you win?"
