It is always the good guy who is hurt in the end

"How is he?" Hestia asked worriedly. 

"He is fine. He is extremely healthy," Airmid Teasanare, a cute petite girl with long silver hair and a member of the Dian Cecht Familia, a medicinal type Familia, who was known as Dea Saint, said after she checked Isao's body thoroughly. 

"See, I am fine." Isao took his garment and put it on his body as there were so many people around him. Still, this action caused many to sigh in disappointment, which made him helpless. 

After the War Game, he was brought directly to the Dian Cecht Familia to be checked. Frankly, he thought that he would be discriminated against and his treatment wouldn't be accepted due to his actions in the War Game, but unexpectedly, Airmid checked his body carefully and healed him, tending his wounds and various other things. 

It might be expensive, but it didn't matter as he had the wealth of the Apollo Familia. 

Moreover—

[You have acquired Airmid Teasanare's DNA.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

Everything was worth it, but then, Isao looked at Airmid and said, "Heal those members of the Apollo Familia, too. You don't have to worry about the money." 

Airmid looked at Isao for a while, then nodded softly. "Okay." 

Hearing his words, everyone was also looking at Isao unexpectedly. 

"What?" Isao looked at them strangely. "Why were you looking at me like that?" 

"No, as expected, you are such a gentle guy, Isao-kun~!" Syr somehow hugged him happily.

"....." 

Isao felt helpless since being a good guy would always make him be taken advantage of by others, but he knew that she was worried about him, so he decided to let her go. It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that it felt good being hugged by Syr. 

Definitely. 

"Waitress-kun, stop hugging him like that! He is mine!" Hestia quickly pulled Syr away from Isao. 

"Ah, Hestia-sama, how can you say that? Look, he is happy that I hugged him!" 

"No! He isn't! He is struggling! Look at how painful his face is!" 

"....." Everyone. 

Nevertheless, everyone was glad that the War Game ended, and frankly, it was amazing that Isao didn't kill anyone except for Hyakinthos. 

"But how are you still fine after being stabbed in the heart?" Airmid somehow asked amidst the conflict between Syr and Hestia. 

Isao looked at Airmid and wondered whether this female doctor didn't think to treat the others. After all, shouldn't she go to Apollo Familias, whose limbs he had cut, and re-attach their limbs? 

"I can move my heart." 

"...move your heart?" 

"Yup." Isao pointed to his chest, where his heart was, then slid his finger to the side and up. "I can move my heart here or there." 

"...." 

Was it possible?

Yet, it was he who could defeat hundreds of adventurers solo when he was a Level 2 adventurer, so they felt that it was possible. 

Still, he looked at all of them and asked, "By the way, you sure are fine with me?" 

"What do you mean?" 

They looked at him strangely. 

"I just killed a person, you know?" 

Frankly, he wasn't sure how they viewed the killer, someone who killed others. In the modern world, this was naturally frowned upon, and one would be socially dead, but then, everything also depended on the situation of the individuals, and many other things too. 

Or rather, he was sure that everyone would frown upon his actions, but then again, with how handsome he was, if he wasn't being cruel, he was afraid that he would be targeted again. 

In this world, he understood that being feared was better than being fawned upon after all. 

At the same time, frankly, this might be his first time killing others with his own hands. Usually, everything ends in an accident, but frankly, even in the world of "High School of the Dead," when he was an evil guy, he never killed anyone. As for those "things," they weren't human anymore, so he couldn't care, especially when he might turn into those "things" if he didn't defeat them. 

As for the "Kimetsu no Yaiba," what he killed was a demon, not a human. 

As for those who tried to antagonize him, with his second ability to control any beings whose DNA was recorded on his body, no one could become his enemy, and everyone was his friend, who was loyal and followed his every word. 

In other words, this was his first time killing a human, but while he felt okay, and he felt that he could even have a nice sleep tonight with a good dream, he didn't really like it. 

Yet, this was also a lesson for him since he knew that sometimes, even as a good guy, he might need to kill others. 

Yet, somehow, they snickered at his words. 

Mia used her large hand and rubbed his head softly. "Do you think we are scared of a virgin like you?"

Hearing Mia's words, everyone laughed. 

"...."

Isao was speechless and looked at Mama, who rubbed his head with that large yet soft and warm hand. 

Syr noticed Isao's gaze was quite strange, which caused her to title her head. 

'There's no way, right?' 

Nevertheless, somehow, they felt closer to him as they knew that he was similar to them. 

All the waitresses on The Hostess of Fertility didn't have a good past, but they tried to change into a better one. They could feel that Isao was like that, and like them, it was the situation that forced him to become cruel. 

"By the way, how long are you going to rub my head, Mama?" 

"What? Are you embarrassed?" Mia felt that his head was nice to touch, so she didn't intend to stop for a while. 

"No, I am afraid that you are going to make many of your enemies later."

"....." 

Mia fell into silence and realized that many were staring at her, which made her reluctantly pull her hand away. 

"By the way, why are those two here, Isao-kun?" Hestia asked while looking at Cassandra and Daphne, who were finally being noticed by everyone. 

When everyone's eyes were on them, Cassandra and Daphne felt a little nervous since they could feel how strong they were. 

"I am going to invite them to our Familia. Anyway, the Apollo Familia is destroyed, so I will recruit the two." 

"Huh? Is that the way? They are enemies, right?" 

"Yesterday, the enemy can become today's ally, but more importantly, I think that everyone needs to be given one chance to fix their mistakes." 

Isao said as he rubbed Hestia's head softly. 

Somehow, those words... touched them once again.

"...if you say so." Hestia thought for a while, then nodded. "Take care, Isao-kun, okay? Er..." 

"My name is Daphne Lauros, Hestia-sama." 

"M-My name is Cassandra Illion, Hestia-sama." 

"Good, I welcome you to my Familia, Daphne, Cassandra." However, Hestia's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and then she said, "But don't seduce Isao like everyone else, okay?"

"...." Everyone.

Hephaestus and Eina lowered their heads with blush as Hestia looked in their direction. 

Frankly, even if Hestia said those words, she also didn't have confidence that they wouldn't be swayed by Isao. Moreover, if they made a move, she was confident that Isao would jump into them like that perverted Loki, who often jumped strangely into the bosom of a beautiful woman! 

Isao nodded at Hestia, who could accept the two easily, then looked at Hephaestus and thanked her. "Thank you for the weapon, Hephaestus. I love them." 

"It's fine. You don't have to worry." Hephaestus waved her hand with ease and showed a bright smile, happy that he loved the weapons. 

"....." Syr. 

"By the way, how much are they?" Isao asked curiously. 

Hephaestus hesitated, but Isao said, "You don't have to worry. No matter how much it is, I will repay you." If it was Hephaestus, he didn't mind using his body to repay her. 

"500..." 

"What?" 

"500 million Valis," Hephaestus said with a sigh. 

"...." Everyone. 

Isao took a deep breath and decided to lie down. 

"Ah, Isao-kun! What's wrong? Airmid-kun, Isao-kun is still hurt from the War Game! Please check on him!" Hestia panicked when Isao suddenly fell. 

"...I don't think the War Game is the reason why he is like that," Airmid said calmly. 

Isao looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and wondered why it had always been the good guy who was being tormented.

Being a good guy is hard...

Still, I got the flu after a trip, so I uploaded this chapter early. 

Hopefully, I can be better tomorrow, so good night~!
