Bastard!!

"Do you think this is the best, Fels?" 

"We don't have a choice, right?" 

Except for Isao, who could they rely on? 

The next hero? 

Hahaha... 

In their minds, there wouldn't be any humans that could match Isao's presence, whether it was in the past, present, or the future. 

Isao's existence was too dazzling, and no one could be his opponent except his future children. 

Well, no matter what, they had done their best, Fels thought, but Ouranos still wished for Xenos to live among all the living beings on the surface. 

Yet, as Ouranos was unable to do it, he could only entrust it to others reluctantly since he knew well that he was powerless to change anything. 

Still, unexpectedly, when Isao introduced Ray to everyone in the Hestia Familia, all of them just stared at him silently. 

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" 

"Nothing." 

All of them answered at the same time, but they had to say that even if Ray was a monster, she was beautiful, so beautiful that she might be comparable to a deity. 

Yes, while she might be a monster, her beauty was undeniable.

Her feathers were golden, and her eyes were blue like the sky. 

If she didn't have her monster features, then there was no doubt there would be many who would try to court her, but then again, probably, many men didn't mind her being a monster, especially when many men hardly had any chances to be close with a woman.

Even if they could, the appearance of the women wasn't that exceptional, so even if Ray was a monster, many definitely would fall for her. 

"What are you planning to do with her?" Hestia asked curiously. 

"You don't think that she will harm us, Hestia?" Isao asked, causing Ray to feel tense. 

"You have made your decision to bring her to our house, and I know that you want to protect her," Hestia said softly, which made Ray look at Isao in surprise. 

Yes, Isao knew that Ray was treated as a sacrifice by Ouranos, so his attitude could warm up toward Xenos, a new race of creatures in the lower world. Still, watching Ray, he thought that she wasn't that much different from the Demi Human-like Haruhime, who had fox-like features on her body. 

If there was a difference, then it would be the ratio of DNA within their bodies. 

Unlike Haruhime, whose DNA was mostly human, Ray's DNA was a monster. 

"But what did that god wish to do by sending her to you, Isao-sama?" Filvis asked in confusion. 

"He wishes me to help him to help Xenos, a talking monster who can live on the surface like any other race." 

"..." 

All of them fell into silence and became dumbfounded, which made Ray become nervous. 

"But is that possible? Do you think a monster can live together with us humans, Isao-sama?" Daphne asked with doubt. 

Frankly, if there was someone who was troubled by Ray, it would be Daphne and Cassandra since, in their minds, a monster was a monster, so it was impossible for them to think that they could live in peace with them. After all, many monsters hurt them and killed their acquaintances, so how could they have accepted peace with such a creature?! 

"Impossible." 

"What?!" 

"I mean, currently, it is impossible." 

"H-How could that be?! We are not like any other monsters! We're different! We won't harm anyone!" 

Ray became emotional when she heard Isao's words, but when she saw him glance in her direction, she shut her lips directly. 

"Calm down. I said that now it is impossible." 

"Then, is it possible in the future?" Hestia asked. 

"It might be, or it might not be." 

"????" 

"I mean, isn't it unfair for Xenos to be accepted right away without showing an effort that they are a harmless creature and wish to have the same status as all of us? You should show your worth and make everyone acknowledge you first instead of begging." 

Like him, who showed through his actions to become a hero, the governor, and many others. 

If Xenos wished to have the same, they should also have the same, but the method would be different naturally. 

Still listening to his explanation, all of them nodded. 

If Isao told them that Xenos could live on the surface like others, while there was nothing they could do, it would be hard for them to accept it, but if Xenos showed their worth by helping others, fighting against the crises, and everyone that they were an ally instead of an enemy, even if it was little difficult, they had to admit that it was possible for Xenos to be accepted. 

Then, with Isao's help, they could slowly integrate naturally into Orario. 

"But is that okay? Won't we be seen as traitors since we help a monster?" Cassandra asked. 

"Well, even humans fight humans. Even the deities fight each other. If Xenos can help me to protect what I think is important and fight for me, then I think it will bring something better than bad." 

At that moment, Ray bowed her head and said, "Isao-sama, my body, life, and everything are yours." 

She didn't ask him for a request and just gave him her everything since she knew well that she didn't have a right to ask for a request. Instead, being accepted by him was the best thing that she could have, and she had to treasure this chance well. 

Isao nodded, then looked at Haruhime, who lowered her head, who had misunderstood him earlier. 

"I-I will do my best tonight!" 

Isao rolled his eyes, but everyone couldn't help but cast a gaze on Ray and understood why Isao accepted her. 

Not because he was horny but because he thought Xenos could become an important power for him. After all, unlike humans and other races that needed a blessing to become stronger, Xenos could become stronger naturally like any monster, but they were more intellectual and could talk like any others. 

Well, everything also depended on Xenos's effort, and Isao gave them a chance. 

If they lost it, then... 

Suddenly, a loud sound was heard from outside. 

"ISAO IINUMA, COME OUT! OPEN THE DOOR! LET ME IN!!!" 

When all of them were spending their time quietly, suddenly, a loud sound interrupted their peace. 

"Loki?" 

"BASTARD, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AIZ! YOU HAVE MADE HER PREGNANT!" 

"....." Everyone. 

"...can you stop looking at me like that? Even if she said nothing, I would take responsibility, okay?" 

Yes, he had made Aiz' pregnant, which was joyful news but also sad news, especially for those who cared about Aiz. 

"Aiz-san... Aiz-san... Aiz-san..." Lefiya cried as she looked at Aiz, who hugged Isao happily. 

"Aiz-tan..." Loki cried, but there was nothing she could do except wait for their children to be born. 

"Me too! Me too! I want to get pregnant too, Isao-sama!" Tiona said cheerfully. 

"..." 

Let's ignore her first. 

"Let's take care of our child together." 

"Um." 

Aiz nodded softly with a gentle smile as she clung to her man happily. 

If it was before, Hestia might get angry, but as she rubbed her belly, she showed her best smile. 

Everyone was helpless; there was nothing they could do. 

"By the way, how many women has he impregnated?" Gareth asked with a doubt. 

"I am not sure." Finn shook his head and felt helpless, but with this, the alliance between Hestia Familia and Loki Familia would be strong. 

"Ugh..." 

However, when everyone was happy with Aiz's pregnancy, everyone was stunned when they heard a familiar noise that they heard when one was pregnant. 

Riveria covered her mouth and belly with an awkward expression, then said softly, "I am pregnant too." 

"....." 

Okay, let's beat Isao first! 

This is what everyone in the Loki Familia thought, but Isao thought that his life was as peaceful as ever, except when Demeter, Freya, Artemis, and many others suddenly came and told him that they were pregnant too. 

What about Bell? 

Who cares! 

Isao didn't care much about Bell, but he heard that Bell seemed to be on a journey or something after his marriage was broken. 

Still, for him, this was a time to start another adventure and help those who were in need, then get stronger too along the way. 

Still, watching many women who were pregnant with his child, Ray also knew what she should do.
