Chapter 206: Naughty Boy

"I wanted to greet... But I see it's not a good idea."

Smiling bitterly, Miach shook his head; he didn't want to get involved with those goddesses. Not to mention that Freya was acting as a guardian in that circle.

At this moment, he was a bit jealous of Hephaestus and Loki, who could go in there without any problems.

That area was a circle where only women could enter.

"I understand, my friend..."

Touching his shoulder, Hermes also shook his head.

He also wanted to go and have fun, but the problem was more complicated than he thought. Even though the war was between the goddesses, Hermes was sure they wouldn't hesitate to destroy them if they accidentally got too close, especially Freya, who was looking at each of the gods and smiling.

For Freya, each of these gods was just an extra, people who should be there for the sake of the show.

That's why the male gods lowered their heads and tried to enjoy this banquet, ignoring the scattered bombs.

"Hermes-sama, by no means dare to move."

Hearing his god, Asfi immediately approached. She could see that things related to the Champion were very delicate, and knowing her god, she didn't want her family caught in the crossfire.

"You worry too much, Asfi. That place is forbidden territory for us. I hope that when this is over, the Champion still keeps that smile."

Looking at the mischievous child, Hermes admired the guts of that kid to play with fire and not get hurt, especially with that 'girlfriend.'

"What a pity. I at least wanted to greet them, as well as offer my condolences from one of their own."

Lowering his head, Miach lamented. After all, even though the champions are lone wolves, they still took care of their own, especially the 'Empress,' the current leader, who was very protective of her class. So, the loss of her friend must still hurt.

"Don't worry... Not everything is lost."

Looking at the group with interest, Hermes quickly analyzed the situation.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Even hearing this, Takemikazuchi became interested.

"What he's trying to say is... that even if we can't enter, it doesn't mean our 'daughters' can't. We just have to follow Lover's example."

Pointing to Loki, who was grabbing Hestia's cheeks, Hermes winked.

"I see..."

Opening their eyes, the minds of both gods lit up.

"Hermes-sama... You!"

Asfi, on the other hand, clenched her fist because she knew very well what his words implied.

"But... Will it work?"

Still with doubts, Miach alternated glances between Naaza and Yuki, who was still talking to Hephaestus.

"Of course! Look~"

Pointing in another direction, Miach and Takemikazuchi followed his finger, this time seeing three cute girls making their way to enter that circle. These girls were Ais, Riveria, and Tsubaki.

And seeing the three girls succeed, as well as joining without much trouble, Miach and Takemikazuchi attended satisfied.

"So... Who will be the first?"

Looking at each other, Miach and Takemikazuchi shared the same idea, nodding to Hermes.

"Let's go together!"

"I guess that could work."

Signaling for Asfi to come closer, Hermes whispered a few words in her ear.

"Hermes-sama, you know this will only bring trouble, right?"

"I know, but if we don't do something, the cake might slip through our fingers."

Shrugging, Hermes knew that if he didn't do something soon, his children would be left behind. The war was inevitable; many people would die, and Hermes hoped that his children would at least have a glimmer of hope for survival.

Loki knew it very well; that's why she didn't hesitate to push her children into the fray with Yuki.

Her children were weak, too weak to face a global threat.

"I understand... Hermes-sama, if we fail, it's on you."

Adjusting her glasses, Asfi frowned. She didn't know how many secrets her god hid, but even though his personality was frivolous and trouble-seeking, he loved his family. So, she knew that if Hermes navigated these deep waters, it must have something to do with them.

"Don't worry; I'll take responsibility."

"Good."

Satisfied, Asfi looked towards Naaza and Yamoto, who were trembling in nervousness while shaking their heads, as their gods were pushing them into the fire.

(I hope Hermes-sama is right.)

Sighing in her heart, Asfi frowned before walking towards the circle, accompanied by the other two victims.

And just as Hermes had predicted, they were able to integrate into the group easily. Freya only raised an eyebrow but ultimately said nothing.

"Pleasure to see you again, Champion-sama."

Bowing her head, Riveria showed her respect. After all, even though Yuki was a spoiled child, the fact that the world loved him was beyond doubt. For Riveria, this child was pure and spotless, regardless of his personality.

"Hm!"

Nodding, Yuki also bowed, surprising Tsubaki and Riveria, as they didn't see the need for someone like him to lower himself like that.

(As pure as porcelain.)

However, Yuki had a completely different thought from them. With Riveria's elegant evening gown, she revealed her cleavage.

And with her leaning forward, it was a rare opportunity to see beyond that sacred valley.

Yuki had to admit that what he saw was beautiful; Riveria hid a pair of juicy bunnies under her typical adventurer gear. This alone left him satisfied.

"Champion-sama, you..."

"Call me Yuki; it's too annoying if you keep addressing me by my title."

Waving his hand, Yuki prevented Riveria from continuing. This woman was very serious about formalities, so he knew what she was about to say.

"You look good."

Setting Riveria aside, this time Yuki focused on Ais, analyzing various parts of her body as well as the side effects of her training.

And although her muscles were stiff, she was on the right track.

"Yes..."

Agreeing, Ais didn't deny his words. Although it hurt in the morning, her pain diminished a few hours later, leaving a slight tingling sensation in her body.

(Huh? This girl moves fast.)

Watching their interaction, Hephaestus looked Riveria up and down, as well as Loki, who was still fighting with Hestia.

"You must be Hephasteus-sama's daughter, the captain of her familia, as well as a Level 5 adventurer, Tsubaki Collbrande."

"Eh?"

Describing her, Yuki stared intently at Tsubaki, or rather, at her enormous front peaks.

Ignoring Yuki's gaze, Tsubaki opened her mouth, as this kid already knew her, so looking at her goddess, her eyes asked for an explanation.

Hephaestus, on the other hand, shook her head.

"You know her, huh? I guess it's not a surprise coming from you, Yuki-kun."

"Of course, I know her; she's very famous in this city."

Puffing out his chest, Yuki proudly displayed his knowledge, like a child who had done his homework well.

This simple action made Tsubaki's cuteness radar go off.

"How lovely... Champion-sama, can I hug you?"

"I would be offended if you didn't."

"Mou~"

With Yuki's permission, Tsubaki no longer hesitated, taking Yuki into her arms.

(Smells good!)

Sniffing a couple of times, Tsubaki understood why the goddesses treated him like a plush toy. Every part of this child screamed to be hugged. With stars in her eyes, she put more strength into her arms.

Yuki, on the other hand, was feeling the texture and shape of Tsubaki's chest...

(Not as big as Tsunade's, but it'll do.)

Turning his head a couple of times, Yuki also sniffed a bit of her scent.

Needless to say, this left Riveria and Ais speechless.

Now, they could only see a couple of perverts, sniffing each other.

"Master..."

[Adam!]

Meanwhile, Est and Mana were just watching Yuki being hugged again. This reignited Mana's jealousy, and Inori continued eating.
