Chapter 199: Peaceful is hard
"Freya is going to get married!"
"Bell Cranel? Who is that?!"
"Dammit, why?! Why is he so lucky?!"
While some were surprised, many were happy, and most of them, especially the guys, were in extreme sadness as their goddess had decided to marry.
Then... wouldn't they be unable to hold her again?
Nevertheless, Freya didn't care about all the deities in this place since, in her mind, they were all the same: a boring man who couldn't catch her interest no matter how much they begged him. She might be a little loose, but she was choosy and wouldn't open her legs unless she had to.
Freya wasn't a whore, after all, but then again, in the eyes of others, especially Loki, she was a nymphomaniac.
Still, she knew that her marriage had attracted much attention, but she didn't care and just talked generously about her weddings.
"By the way, Hestia, put my news in your newspaper."
"O-Okay." Hestia nodded, thinking that this was one of the largest pieces of news!
On the other hand, in the corner of the hall, a beautiful goddess with tanned skin and revealing clothes that showed many parts of her skin gazed at Freya's back like a dangerous viper. Her purple lipsticks were like poison, but then her expression was also that of surprise when she heard that Freya was going to marry someone.
Still, she shook her head since her purpose had always been to destroy Freya, and she could think about Freya's husband later since there was something that was more delicious than she wished to get first.
Watching the innocent expression of Hestia, this goddess snorted, thinking that this lazy goddess really wasted that man's talent.
Nevertheless, Hestia, Demeter, Hephaestus, Loki, and Freya never pay attention to this goddess and talk on their own. It was as if they had formed their own groups. Yet, if the five of them really formed a group, there was no doubt that no one would be their opponents in this world.
Hestia, Demeter, and Hephaestus might not have the strongest Familia, but their influence in their own respective couldn't be ignored.
On the other hand, Loki and Freya were the two strongest Familia.
If they combined, then they could rule this world.
"Your children are so unlucky."
Unlike those who thought that Bell Cranel was lucky, Loki felt that Bell was unlucky.
"Why so? He was so happy when I proposed to him," Freya said softly with a sweet smile.
Loki didn't answer and only laughed as she didn't care about the child of others. "Oh, Hermes and Takemikazuchi are walking here. What's wrong with them?"
If it was before, they wouldn't pay attention to Takemikazuchi, a poor god from the Far East, but as Isao came from this land, they paid attention to him, but then again, as they had no relationship, they ignored this poor good.
On the other hand, Hermes was different as this god had always been wandering around, bringing news, bad or good.
"Oh, they are looking at us! What should I do, Takemikazuchi? I want to run away now." Hermes didn't want to get close to the five goddesses because the pressure they exuded was just too... dangerous.
"Please accompany me, Hermes! I owe you one!" Takemikazuchi was nervous, especially when he heard what his children did to Isao. Why did it have to be Hestia Familia among all the Familia they had decided to be sacrificed to...
If it was just a small minor Familia, then it didn't matter, and he would just apologize, but if it was Hestia, who had clearly made an alliance with several goddesses, then—
"You are a man, right? Do it yourselves!" Hermes was helpless and patted Takemikazuchi's back, causing the god of the Far East to sigh, then walked toward Hestia like a man.
Hestia didn't pay attention to Takemikazuchi as she sighed in relief that Freya didn't seem to have an interest in Isao.
"Um, Hestia..."
"Hmm? Takemikazuchi? What's wrong?"
"I am sorry!"
Takemikazuchi directly did a "dogeza," a kowtow at Hestia's feet, and apologized with all of his might.
"..." Everyone.
"...what's wrong?" Hestia didn't tell Takemikazuchi to get up and ask with doubt, but her expression definitely wasn't good since she could tell that this god didn't come with good news.
"It's about my Familia... they have..." Takemikazuchi told the truth about what his Familia did to Hestia Familia. While Isao had left them, almost being killed by those monsters, he didn't mind, especially when Isao had healed them and made them able to get out alive from the dungeon.
Yet, when Takemikazuchi told the truth, he could feel many unkind gazes on him, which made him have a cold sweat.
"You are lucky that Isao-kun is alright, Takemikazuchi."
"Ye-Yes..."
Takemikazuchi was lucky, really. Nevertheless, he knew that his Familia had to pay, or else he was afraid that they might leave Orario if they wanted to live.
"But now, I am curious about him, Hestia. Can you let me meet him once?" Hermes suddenly came and asked curiously.
"Don't cause trouble, Hermes." Freya frowned at Hermes.
"...weren't you about to marry your children, Freya? You shouldn't join our conversation, right? Your husband might be jealous if he knew that you cared about another man," Hermer said in a gentlemanly way.
"You don't have any right to dictate how I live, right?" Freya said with a sweet smile, causing Hermes to look away quickly as he was afraid of being charmed by her and turned into her slave.
"I AM GANESHA!"
Even though Ganesha held this banquet of gods to celebrate Monsterphilia, no one paid attention to this event as they were more concerned about Freya's wedding and the trouble caused by Takemikazuchi's children.
Still, Hestia felt exhausted by all the troubles, and she thought of going back, lazying in her house, reading books, eating sweets, and drinking wine as she took a bath in the Japanese bath inside her mansion, but it seemed someone wouldn't let her.
"Hestia, how could you do that?!"
"...." Everyone.
"Dionysus?" Hestia looked at this handsome god with medium-length blonde hair and emerald eyes. Like any deity, he appeared attractive, but she didn't care about his appearance as she could tell that he was in a bad mood, which made her back away.
Those who were near Hestia also felt strange by Dionysus, who suddenly got angry at Hestia.
"What's wrong, Dionysus? Why did you get angry at Shorty?" Loki asked with doubt, as she had just met Dionysus this morning when she went to the sewer of the Orario to do an investigation about the man-eating flower monster that appeared on the Monsterphilia.
Naturally, she met the man-eating flower monster, Violas, on the sewer system of the Orario, but then she also met Dionysus and exchanged info, yet why did this guy suddenly go on berserk with Hestia?
"Of course, I am angry!" Dionysus looked at Hestia like she had hurt him. "Did you know that if you told the truth about man-eating flower monsters, then my children wouldn't have to die?! You have such an important tool, such as a newspaper, to help everyone realize the danger that happened in the Orario! You can even search for information that no one knows in this vast world?! Why didn't you share it with everyone!? Why are you so selfish?! What is your plan?! Do you want to bring the Orario into a ruin!"
"...huh?"
Frankly, not many deities knew about the man-eating flower monsters that appeared on the Monsterphilia as they died quickly, and it was best not to expose this problem so it wouldn't cause a panic.
Yet, all of a sudden, Dionysus made a fuss about it, crying, and even looked at Hestia in hatred.
"If it's not because of you, then... my children are still alive..."
"..."
Hestia looked at Dionysus with a frown and thought that this god was as creepy and crazy as ever.
