Chapter 268: Probably, someone might die
Chapter 268: Probably, someone might die
The meeting started, and the participants were Isao, Loki, Finn, Ryuu, Hermes, Asfi, and Royman Mardeel.
While Fels might not say anything, she didn't mind her existence to be known by the Loki Familia, or rather, the participant of Royman, clearly expressed her affiliation with the guild.
Yes, many might not know about Fels, but some people naturally knew her as it was impossible not to know about Ouranos' trusted followers, especially those who had a certain weight in this city.
"By the way, I know that it might be strange to ask this, but where are Hestia and Hephaestus?" Hermes asked curiously.
"They are busy." Isao answered shortly and said, "Well, how about I start my experience in that place first." Thinking that it was better for him not to mention Hestia and Hephaestus since he could tell that this deity was weird, and he didn't know Hermes much, so it was impossible for him to trust him.
"Stop playing around, Hermes." Loki frowned at Hermes and said, "With him here alone is enough. Even if Shorty is here, she won't be any use!"
"You can't say that." While Isao knew that Loki helped him, he couldn't allow her to mock Hestia.
"Then, what's the use of her here?" Loki asked with a doubt.
"She can brighten the mood."
"...you treat her like a mascot, huh?"
While Loki was speechless, Hermes laughed.
"Well, how about we start our meeting?"
Hearing Isao's words, everyone nodded.
As they were ready, Isao also started and told everyone about what was happening, but frankly, it was all the same except for the part where he fell onto the floor below with Ryuu, along with the plan of the Evilus to take control over the Juggernaut.
"Juggernaut..."
Unlike Asfi and the others who were unfamiliar with the Juggernaut, Isao and Ryuu knew this monster that was summoned by the dungeon as the defense mechanism.
This monster was strong and fast, and it also had the ability to absorb magic. Its only weakness was that it was weak against a physical ability, but depending on what floor this monster was summoned, its strength would increase as it was summoned on the deeper floor.
Yet, hearing the Evilus had a way of taking control over such a monster, all of them couldn't help but shudder, especially when they thought the Level 7 enemy would go to the 59th Floor, then take control over the Juggernaut from that Floor.
If the Evilus could get hold of such a monster, it would become a massacre on the Orario!
"Then, how is it? Are we going to be okay?" Royman asked nervously as he wiped away the sweat that came from nervousness and fear.
Yet, watching this tubby elf, Ryuu couldn't help but frown, thinking that her kin had fallen so low.
"It should be okay. The tamer should have died, so we don't have to worry about the Juggernauts."
"That's great..."
Nevertheless, it was great to know that the army of Juggernauts wouldn't kill them, but then again, the Evilus still had an army of monsters, and those monsters weren't weak.
More importantly, they also had the Demi Spirit, Level 7 opponent, and many others.
Still, even so, it wasn't like the Evilus had the upper hand; instead, their group had the upper hand, especially when they knew where the Evilus was hiding.
"Knossos... Daedalus street..."
As they had caught Revis (the red-haired woman had fought Isao and Aiz previously), naturally, they knew about many things, including the hiding place of the Evilus, which was located in the man-made dungeon on the Orario, known as the Knossos.
The location of this man-made dungeon was on Daedalus Street, but this place was famous for being known as the dungeon on the surface. The place was so tricky that those who were unfamiliar would definitely get lost.
Yes, they knew there was such a place, yet they didn't know where it was, or rather, they were clueless!
Still, this was their only clue, so even if it was hard, they had to search for this place.
Nevertheless, this wasn't the only place they had to visit, especially when Revis had told them to visit the 59th Floor as something would be waiting for them there.
"59th Floor?" Hermes was speechless and then looked at Loki. "Your children will start their expedition there, right?"
"Yes." Loki nodded. "We will also have Hephaestus' help."
Since they couldn't search for the Knossos, they could only go to the 59th Floor. Frankly, there was no doubt it would be a difficult expedition, and some might probably die, especially when the only Familia who had reached the 59th Floor was only the Zeus Familia and Her Familia, who had been defeated by the One-Eyed Black Dragon, the last enemy of humanity, but they had to do it.
"Are you not going to, Isao-kun?" Hermes asked, changing his way of calling Isao's name directly to Isao's first name as if their relationship was close.
Isao glanced at Hermes speechlessly and said, "I am not part of Loki Familia. I don't think it is appropriate for me to join."
"Why not? Join us." 2x
Loki and Finn said at the same time.
Isao looked at the two strangely and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yup." 2x
Unlike Hermes, they knew well what was happening to Hephaestus, Eina, and Chloe since Riveria told them, and frankly, Isao also trusted them, but then again, they had to admit that they were shocked that Isao could impregnate Hephaestus.
'Pregnant...'
Loki murmured inwardly as she stared at Isao's lower body and then looked at her flat belly.
"..." Isao.
At the same time, if possible, Loki and Finn wished for Isao to join this expedition since they knew well how strong Isao was, and more importantly, his relationship with Aiz made him trustworthy.
As for Riveria, the two decided to keep their relationship a secret so no one knew about their relationship.
Still, did they want him to be hurt once again?
Holding his head, Isao felt helpless, but he knew this was also a chance for him to grow stronger. "I am still hurt."
"It will be fine. I know that you will recover soon," Finn said with a gentle smile.
"Isn't it good for you to go? You will be able to grow stronger faster," Hermes said with a smile, too.
"Okay, you agree, right? Let's go!" Loki said as if Isao had agreed.
"....."
Isao let out a helpless sigh and asked, "How are we going to divide the drop items?"
While he might join since he knew he could grow stronger this way, naturally, the matter of money had to be discussed beforehand so there wouldn't be a conflict later.
"..." Loki and Finn.
Somehow, they understood why Isao was rich.
Still, this matter didn't involve Roymand and Hermes, so whether it was Isao, Loki, or Finn, they decided to discuss the matter of their expedition after this.
"By the way, can I ask you a question?"
However, before they finished this meeting, Isao suddenly asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Besides our Familia and Hephaestus Familia, who is familiar with the matter of Evilus and everything around this problem?"
Hearing Isao's question, Roymand shook his head and said, "No, I never told anyone since I have always been focused on the problem of the guild." He had to solve many problems every day, so how could he have time to discuss these problems with others?
More importantly, the fewer people knew about this matter, the better it was.
Still, due to Roymand's answer, everyone looked at Loki and Hermes.
Loki and Hermes looked at each other and nodded.
"There is one more deity who knows about this."
"Yup, he is suspicious, though."
"Who?"
"Dionysus." 2x
"Dionysus..." Isao frowned when he heard this name.
"Well, I know that you don't have a good impression of him, but it isn't like he is the culprit behind everything," Loki said in a relaxed manner since it wasn't her Familia who was being provoked.
Yes, Isao and all of Hestia Familia didn't have a good impression of Dionysus, especially with how this Familia often talked about his Familia through the newspaper.
Frankly, Dionysus' Familia didn't have good sales, but they gave him a lot of money as they had to buy machines and various other things for their business from Isao.
Yet, somehow, as Isao was hurt so many times, Dionysus used this chance to slander him and Hestia Familia with many other things.
Naturally, Isao directly stopped selling anything from Dionysus, but as expected, this deity never gave up, trying to bite him to death as if this guy were a rabid dog.
"Are you going to challenge him in the War Game?" Hermes asked with a smile.
"No, I won't do anything."
"Oh-ho? The confidence of the strong?"
"Don't tease me, okay?"
Yet, inwardly, Isao had to say Dionysus was such an annoying fly, so he knew that he had to deal with this deity sooner or later.
Nevertheless, all the people present knew that Dionysus was going to be targeted by Isao.

"Failure?"
"Yes."
"...you can't kill him?"
"No, it seems he has a secret technique to make himself stronger and match my strength."
"Why?! Why?! Why?!"
As the figure before screamed in a fury like a maniac and even threw many glasses and bottles into her body and head, causing some bleeding on the part of her temple, she only stayed in silence, loyal since the figure before her was the one who could accept her.
"How useless! What's the point of that strength of yours if you can't even defeat my enemy!"
The figure appeared to enter a lunatic state, completely unstable, ready to have another berserk. "I have to kill him... I have to... no, you have to, and even if you have to die, you should end his life, okay, Filvis? I love you, so you can only follow my words, okay?"
"Yes."
Like the most loyal servant, when Filvis Challia heard the gentle voice of the figure before her, she made her vow to erase Isao Iinuma completely.

By the way, after this, he will go to the world of "My Hero Academia."
Please take care of him; thank you!
Also, since there is a race known as a "Xenos" in the world of "Danmachi," are you okay with monster girls like Lamia, Harpie, or something similar?
Definitely not fury or other weird things, okay?
I am not into anything like that.
