The protagonist always has to face adversity

Isao knew that Hestia would react strongly due to his date. With her personality, if that petite goddess didn't do anything when she heard that he would go on a date, he wouldn't believe it. After all, she was a virgin, and she didn't have any experience in relationships for eons, so he also understood that she would become clingy to someone when she found someone important to her. 

Yet, even so, it was impossible for Hestia to stop him from helping others! 

In this world, there were many women who were in need of his help! 

Eina was definitely one of them, but Isao wondered, watching all the women, who were staring at him with a dangerous gaze on his way to meet Eina—

Gulp!

Isao wondered whether he could get there safely. 

---

"As I have said, I am waiting for someone." Eina sighed helplessly, wondering why many guys were so persistent. 

"Don't say that. I have seen you here waiting for a while." 

"Yeah, yeah. Instead of a bastard who makes you wait, how about you play with us?" 

"It's more fun to play with us!" 

Eina rolled her eyes and decided to ignore the three guys who tried to pick her up. Among men, there were differences, and the majority of them were cowards who could only bully a weak woman like her in a group. Still, at the same time, she cursed Isao for being late. 

Shouldn't you wait half an hour or fifteen minutes before the appointment?! 

Or rather, she had done that, and frankly, Isao wasn't late yet, but even so, as a man, shouldn't you be excited to take her on a date?! 

Fortunately—

"Eina." 

"Finally!" Eina turned excitedly before she was dumbfounded. 

"Can you help me?" Isao asked helplessly, trying to pull away from the group of slutty women who wanted to pull him into the room. "Look, I am not lying. I am on a date." 

Eina quickly came to him, ignoring the three guys, who tried to pick her up and quickly linked her arm against his. "Let's go!" 

"Okay." Isao sighed in relief and wondered why the women in this world were so aggressive. Yes, he might be handsome, but wasn't there a more handsome guy out there? 

As the two walked away, the three guys who tried to pick up Eina were speechless. Looking at the group of women that surrounded Isao and then Eina, the beautiful half-elf, who went to him, they had to admit that the world was so unfair! 

"Sorry for being late." 

Even though Isao knew that he wasn't late, he had to apologize. 

Don't ask why. 

"It's fine." Eina looked at Isao speechlessly and said, "I understand why you are so late." 

"Thanks." Isao was glad that Eina was a good woman. "Though, I have to say those women are too aggressive." Even though he was wearing round glasses, trying to hide his eyes, they still came to him as if a group of sharks smelled the scent of delicious blood. 

"They are an Amazoness. Their purpose in living is to mate with a strong man." Eina somehow felt sorry for Isao, who was troubled. 

"I am just a Level 1 adventurer, though." 

"Don't forget you are so handsome!" 

Unlike his usual distressed jeans and jacket, Isao wore a different type of clothes that made her cheeks flush red. 

Isao smiled and said, "Well, you are also beautiful. No wonder those guys tried to pick you up." 

"Right? So, next time, you shouldn't be late," Eina smiled sweetly at his praise. 

Isao raised his eyebrows since the date had just begun, yet this woman wanted to have another date with him. Well, he didn't mind, though. 

Still, unlike her professional guild staff uniform, Eina's appearance was cute. She wore a white shirt and a short skirt, showing the charm of a young woman. Even though she had worked for so long, she was still a girl and a virgin, and those clothes showed all of those charms. 

However, unlike his usual distressed denim and jacket, Isao wore a light blue and white striped shirt, which he tucked inside his khaki slacks and chukka boots, making him appear gentle and intellectual. 

This style was nice, Eina thought. She didn't like someone who was intimidating, and his appearance was just comforting.

Or rather, as long as one was handsome, they would be suitable to wear anything! 

Only—

"Iinuma?" 

Isao and Eina turned and saw Bell was there, watching them with a dumbfounded expression. 

"Cranel-san." Isao nodded. "Are you going to the dungeon?" 

"Ah, yes." Bell nodded. "I have to become stronger after all." Then, he looked at Eina, who linked her arm naturally to Isao. 

Naturally, Eina noticed this, and she realized that she had linked her arm against his in the heat of the moment to save him from the group of dangerous women, but she didn't mind and kept linking her arm against his. 

"Wh-What about you?" Even though Bell vowed to give his love to Freya, he felt conflicted when he saw Isao was together with a cute girl. Even though Eina wasn't as beautiful as Freya, Eina wasn't bad at all. 

"We're on a..." Isao glanced at Eina, who smiled at him mischievously. "Date." 

"D-Date?!" Bell was dumbfounded. 

"Yes." Isao nodded calmly. "I know that you are busy, Cranel-san. We won't bother you. See you." 

"Ah, um, see you." Bell's lips twitched as he watched the two left, but then he sighed helplessly, hoping that he could do the same with Freya. 

'Freya-sama...' 

When they left, Isao noticed Eina staring at him with a smile. "What's wrong? Haven't you seen a handsome guy?" 

"You are so narcissistic!" 

Isao smiled and asked, "So, what kind of place do you want to show me?" 

"Well, I thought I would bring you to Babylon to see the stores that sell weapons and armor. Oh, I will show you many other important stores, too, but do you have a place that you want to visit?" Eina quickly told him about the details of their date. Due to her nature, she always studied hard and prepared everything from A to Z. 

"Can you show me the real estate agency?"

"Real estate agency?" Eina was surprised, then asked, "Are you going to buy a house?"

"Yes." 

"....with your money, it should be possible." 

As his advisor, Eina naturally knew how much income Isao gained after he became an adventurer, and of course, she also knew that he was living in the abandoned church with his goddess, so somehow, she didn't feel surprised by his decision. "Okay, follow me, or rather, the house next to my apartment is quite good. You should check it out there." 

"Okay." 

With that decision, the two visited the real estate agency and checked various houses near Eina's place. 

Even though they had just visited a house, Eina thought it was fun. 

Hearing him joke and visualize how he would live there, somehow Eina thought that Isao bought this house for the two of them so they could live together. 

Still, Isao was in luck and found a large, cheap house on the first floor that could be used as a store. 

"Do you want to open a store?" Eina asked. 

"Income from the adventurer is unpredictable. I want to have another source of income," Isao said. 

"You sure think it thought." 

"Well, I want to live well, though." 

"You are right." Eina nodded. "But what will you sell?" 

"Book? Food? I am not sure. I can think of it slowly later." 

"Those two choices are fine." Eina didn't expect Isao to think about his business thoroughly. They might not have made the best money, but there was no doubt they were stable. 

Still, after Isao bought the house, the two continued their date, visiting many places together, including Amphitheatron, Amor Square, Blue Pharmacy, Dian Cecht Familia Pharmacy, Clothing Shops, Babel, and many others. They got to know some of the famous members and also gained the DNA of the gods and goddesses he met along the way. 

Naturally, Eina didn't know that since she was just having fun with Isao. 

As the two were a beautiful woman and a handsome man, they attracted a lot of attention, but they were in their own world. 

While Isao wanted to visit Demeter Familia to see the famous farms, he decided not to do it with Eina by his side. Naturally, he didn't visit Hephaestus Familia since he didn't want trouble. 

Or rather, as a good person, he knew that he had to control the peace between everyone. 

From the morning to the evening.

The two spent their time together, having fun and having an unforgettable time together. 

Then, the night came; it was time for dinner. 

"There is a delicious restaurant nearby, but it is quite expensive." 

Isao had treated her to lunch before, so Eina was hesitant about him treating her to dinner. 

Or rather, she thought about treating him. 

"It's fine. You bought me those glasses, after all." 

Isao tapped the new glasses that Eina had bought for him. Frankly, those glasses weren't cheap, and he was amazed that she had dared to spend her money to buy them for him.

Isao wasn't a toyboy, of course; he couldn't let her spend all of her money on him. 

Frankly, he was quite dumbfounded when they had lunch. Eina told him to divide the bill, and she would pay for her food, but naturally, he refused since, as a man, he had a promise to treat her, right? 

"If you say it that way..." 

Eina was helpless, but as Isao had said before, she decided to accept his treat, and at the same time, she wanted to spend more time with him. 

As expected, he was different. 

Unlike any other man who made an aggressive move on her, Isao tried to make her comfortable, letting her lower her guard, then pulled her into an abyss where she couldn't escape! 

Wait! 

Isao was a good person. He would never do that! 

However, if Eina wished to be pushed, even though it was out of his character, Isao was going to do his best! 

Yet, they couldn't enjoy their late date; why? 

"Isao-kun?" 

As they turned, they saw a wild Hestia watching them with a gentle smile. 

Still, Hestia wasn't his only problem since, as they entered the pub shown by Eina, a group of people dressed in black also entered, and their faces showed malice, which showed that they entered without good intentions. 

"Let's go." 

A young man with a beautiful feature said coldly to his followers, but at this moment, his expression was distorted, and he clearly showed jealousy toward the attention that was newbie by his beloved god.
