"You want to make a statue of ?" Isao asked strangely.
"Yes." Royman Mardeel nodded and said, "We will make a grand statue for you."
"Why?"
"What do you an, why?!" Royman sohow got emotional. "You are the hero who has saved everyone! Your achievent should be rembered by everyone for eons!"
In the guild, there were many statues of famous adventurers from the past, and each of them was a famous character who had achieved sothing that was impossible for others to do.
However, if Isao wasn't there, then those adventurers of the past had no right to be there since, while their achievents were amazing, it was nothing compared to Isao.
Isao felt strange when he thought his figure would be sculpted into a gigantic statue, but then again, this wasn't sothing strange, especially for those famous characters in the myths, stories, or even histories.
Those famous characters, whether it was their wills, their family, or others, would craft a statue for them so they would be rembered.
If Isao gave an example, it was like the statue of Zeus, which was one of the ancient wonders in history.
If he gave a modern example, there was this famous leader in central Asia who built thousands of statues in his country, so he would be rembered forever.
All the leaders or famous figures, whether they admitted it or not, were narcissistic and had great confidence in themselves.
Isao was the sa, so he didn't mind much, but then again, was it only the reason why Royman ca?
After all, for such a small thing, there was no need for this tubby guy to co to his ho, right?
More importantly, with the destruction that happened in this city and other places, crafting his statue wasn't a priority.
"Is that all?"
"Well..." Royman was a bit awkward, but he said, "Ouranos wishes to et you."
"Ouranos?" Isao was surprised and asked, "Was it that deity who made the guild?"
"Yes." Royman looked at Isao and asked, "Do you wish to et him?"
"Will he co here?"
"...yes?"
"Then, take him here."
"....."
Royman was speechless since usually, it would be the others who would co to Ouranos, considering the seniority and all, but as Isao was probably the strongest in the world, even if Isao was kind of... arrogant, but then again, the one who had the request was Ouranos, and Isao had the right to be pretentious.
So, while Royman was a bit awkward and felt a bit happy, he brought Ouranos to Hestia's mansion.
"Nice to et you, Iinuma Isao. It is our first eting."
Unlike others who appeared young, Ouranos made himself appear old.
'He is like Zeus.'
Yes, Isao also discovered Zeus, who had lived in the village where Bell lived in the past. He wanted to get his hand on the DNA of Bell's grandfather, who knew many stories in the legends, but unexpectedly, this grandfather of Bell was Zeus, so there was no need for him to hesitate, and he directly devoured him, especially when no one knew that it was him who had devoured him.
After all, similar to Dionysus and Ishtar, Zeus used his divine power to hide himself and make him appear like a normal human, so when Isao found him, his fate was as good as gone.
Yet, this was how the Greek myth was supposed to be, right?
If a deity didn't kill their father, sibling, and others, then this wouldn't be how the myth was supposed to be.
"Yes, nice to et you, Ouranos, but I know you must have so purpose in coming to , so why don't you tell now?"
Isao asked Ouranos, then looked at the two figures behind Ouranos. The two of them were wearing cloaks, and they hid their appearance but he was familiar with one as this person was the one who gave him the power to revive soone, but he wasn't familiar with the other one.
Probably, the other one was the reason why Ouranos ca to him.
Ouranos didn't express his purpose at first, but he glanced at Haruhi, who brought teas and snacks to everyone.
"You don't have to worry about her."
"Then, I just want to give you this." Ouranos didn't hesitate and said, "Fels."
"Yes." Fels then looked at the figure, who hid within the cloak and called the na of this figure. "Ray."
"Yes."
Ray opened her cloak and made Haruhi dumbfounded.
Isao was speechless since what he saw was a harpy, a monster who appeared in the dungeon.
A monster was an enemy of all the living beings in this world, and naturally, when one saw it, they would kill it imdiately, so the fact that Ouranos and Fels brought this monster to him was like sothing unthinkable.
Still, while this monster was weak before him, this monster should have the power of a Level 5 adventurer, and it was enough to kill Haruhi, which was why he moved Haruhi closer to him and then took out his weapon.
"What do you want to do, Ouranos?"
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Please lower your weapon, Isao Iinuma-sama! We're not here to fight! W-We just want to give her to you!"
"You want to give a monster?" Isao frowned, but—
"Wait, a talking monster?"
Isao suddenly realized and looked at Ray in doubt.
"M-My life is with you, Isao-sama. You can do as you wish for ."
Ray lowered her head further and even pressed her head to the ground, kowtowing to him, showing her obedience to him.
"You can do whatever you want with her." Ouranos took a deep breath and said, "So, what do you think of this gift from ?"
"...what do you think of ?"
Did they think that he was soone who would be interested in all beautiful won no matter what their race was?
Even if Ray was beautiful, he wasn't soone who would happily accept a gift like a living being.
Yet, as he stood at the top, he knew that this was probably sothing normal, and many people would try to curry him a favor by sending him a beautiful woman like this.
Yes, they were sick since they were all living beings, so how could they treat those living beings like a gift like this?
"You misunderstood ."
Ouranos took a deep breath and said, "I an... what do you think of her? We have found her before, and we didn't know what to do with her, so... I want you to make a decision."
Gambling.
Yes, Ouranos gambled.
His wish was to make all the living beings live peacefully with the creature known as Xenos, the talking monster.
If it was soone else, they would definitely kill Ray right away whether they were monsters or not, well, except for those lustful n who would try to have sex with anything.
Unfortunately, Isao wasn't such a person.
However, Ouranos wished to see what kind of an act Isao would do when Xenos was shown before him.
If Isao didn't kill Ray, then this was a good beginning, but if Isao killed Ray, then...
Well, Ouranos knew that it wasn't the ti for Xenos to co out.
So, what would it be?
What would Isao's decision be?
anwhile, Ray was so nervous, and her heart was beating so fast since she knew well that the future of her race depended on her. If she fails, then... but hopefully, she will be accepted.
When Isao wondered what he should do, he couldn't help but glance at Haruhi.
Haruhi might feel sorry for this monster, but even so, while it was selfish, she treasured Isao more. Even if this monster was pitiful, if this monster brought danger to Isao, she would destroy it.
"Isao-sama..."
Isao had to say that Haruhi was trustworthy, but then again, he had made his decision after he saw Ray for the first ti.
So, the answer was obvious, right?
