Evilus is going to die

Fels. 

Or be known as the "Sage," "Fool," or even the "Cat of Altena." 

Apart from being known as the mysterious mage who affiliated with the god behind the guild, Ouranos, she was also known as the legendary magician who created the Philosopher's Stone and achieved immortality. 

While this immorality didn't prevent the deterioration of her body, she didn't need to eat, drink, or sleep, but she could still be tired. 

Frankly, while immortality was an amazing thing, even if he was given a chance, Isao wouldn't want to become like Fels. She might live a long life, but with her bones-like body, she could only live in the dark, hiding from the eyes of many, or else many troubles would come to her. 

Still, he was glad he had replicated her DNA, as her ability was superb. She might only be a Level 4, but as the legendary mage, her skill and experiences were above many in this world. It was even above many deities, especially in the matter of life, as she dabbled in reincarnation. 

'If someone dies, I can reincarnate them now.' 

Well, with his power, he didn't think anyone would die again, and something like the death of Souichiro Takagi, the father of Saya, wouldn't happen again. 

Moreover, even if Fels had developed a technique to revive someone, she couldn't succeed no matter what. 

Nevertheless, it was impossible for Syr not to be cornered about his decision. 

"Are you going to accept her quest?" 

Isao glanced at Syr and felt surprised that she could tell Fels' gender. "I do." 

"It's dangerous!" 

"Are there any places in the dungeon that aren't dangerous?" 

"...." Syr. 

Rather, even in Orario, it was dangerous, especially when the Evilus hadn't been erased completely. There was also a hidden enemy that no one knew, Enyo, that had his or her hand on the Demi Spirit, an existence of a combination of a monster and a spirit that wanted to devour Aiz. 

The chance before his eyes, and instead of waiting for all the problems to explode at once, it was better to solve them when there was an opportunity. 

It was troublesome, but when would he have a chance to solve those problems while gaining rewards from someone? 

"Let's go back." 

Holding Syr's hand, Isao led her back to the Hostess of Fertility quietly. 

Yet, Syr thought that this guy was unfair since he suddenly held her hand when she wanted to press him further about his decision. 'It's always like this...'

When Isao made up his decision, no one could stop him, and even if he was in danger, he would press forward. It was impossible for her not to be worried, but this was his way of life and was also the reason why many, including her, fell for him. 

However, Syr hoped for him to think about his life more since there were many who would be sad when he disappeared. 

Still, what she didn't know was that Isao cared about his life much since if he didn't care, then would he go to another world to become stronger and face struggles that he couldn't guess? 

Nevertheless, when they arrived at the Hostess of Fertility, Syr directly reported what Isao planned to do. "Isao-kun decided to take a dangerous quest!" 

"Ha?" 

"..." 

Isao looked at Syr, who was still holding his hand helplessly. 

Syr knew that she couldn't stop him with her power alone, but what if she wasn't alone? 

As expected, when they heard Syr's words, all of them panicked once again. 

"You just recovered, nyaa! Why the heck did you want to go out again?! Let me come with you! I will accompany you!" 

Chloe reacted so strongly since she had just about lost him before, so how could she let him go again?

"You don't feel good, right? Just wait for me on the surface. I will be fine. I am durable, and I won't die." 

Isao knew that Chloe's health hadn't been good. While he knew the reason, it was better for her to find out by herself, and he pretended that he didn't know anything. 

"But..." 

Chloe knew that she had been feeling low and kind of sick lately. Still, this didn't affect her everyday life, and as a Level 4 adventurer, she felt that she should be okay, but when this situation happened, she thought that she should visit a doctor early so that way, she could follow him instead of being a burden or waiting for him to return as waiting had always been a painful thing. 

"No, but. I have taken this quest. I can't reject it now." 

Chloe was helpless, but she knew that she couldn't stop him. 

"Do you really have to go?" Mia asked helplessly. 

"I will." 

"Let me go with you." 

Unexpectedly, Ryuu took the initiative to go with him. 

"Are you sure, Ryuu?" Isao looked at Ryuu in doubt. 

"Is it related to that?" Ryuu's expression was that of determination, yet it was mixed with gloominess and even killing intent. 

If it was the original protagonist, Bell definitely would be stunned and even frightened by Ryuu's current expression, but Isao wasn't Bell, and because of that, Ryuu could show this side of hers to him. 

While it made him feel conflicted, Isao knew that everyone in this place had their own stories and knew Ryuu's story from her DNA; he also understood why she wished to go with him. 

"Yeah." Isao nodded. "It is related to Evilus." For others, he might keep this matter a secret, but for everyone on the Hostess of Fertility, he didn't mind sharing this matter since they were involved and almost hurt by the previous accident. 

"I will start my preparation." 

"Just stay at my place later so we can go as soon as possible."

Anyway, it wasn't Ryuu's first time staying at his place, or rather, everyone on the Hostess of Fertility had stayed at his place, especially after that incident, as it was too dangerous to stay at this pub. 

However, since there were Hestia, Daphne, and Cassandra, they still refrained from staying at his place for a longer time. 

While Hestia didn't care, they might not feel uncomfortable about it as they weren't members of Hestia's Familia, and staying in a familiar place was definitely more comfortable, right? 

"Yes." 

As Ryuu left, all of them looked at Ryuu worriedly, but like Isao, they couldn't stop this stuck-up elf. 

"I feel like instead of her protecting you, it will be you who protect her," Runoa said helplessly. 

"Don't say that. I think she is quite reliable." 

Even though Ryuu often moved based on her emotions, her strength was obvious to all, and having her help was a great thing for him. Moreover, like Chloe, she was also a Level 4 adventurer, one level stronger than him, but in the real fight, he would be the winner. 

"...." 

Hearing his words, they really felt that Ryuu would become a burden for him, which made them helpless. 

Still, with Ryuu following him to the Hearth Mansion, Isao told Hestia, Cassandra, and Daphne about his decision to accept a quest, and they would have to go tomorrow. While they were speechless, they were also used to his abrupt and sudden request, so they could only follow him. 

"You can use this time to test your new weapons." 

"Yes." 

Daphne and Cassandra nodded, thinking about the two new weapons that Isao had given to them. 

"No matter what, be careful and return safely, okay?" Hestia said worriedly. 

"Yes." 3x

Watching how close the four of them were, Ryuu felt a strange uneasiness and also longing as she thought about her past when she was still naive. It was the best memory of her and also the worst, yet everything had passed on. However, her revenge and will hadn't been subdued, at least, until she completely erased all of the remains of the Evilus from this world so that way, she could face all of her comrades who had given her a chance to live. 

Hestia then looked at Ryuu and said, "You too, Ryuu." 

Ryuu felt a wave of nostalgia, thinking about her previous goddess. Even if their appearance was different, their kindness and warmness were the same. Her previous goddess was also a virgin goddess, so she had a certain affinity toward Hestia. 

However, Ryuu had to say Hestia was slightly, or quite too childish. 

"Then, let's sleep and work hard tomorrow." 

"Oh!" 4x

Only Ryuu tilted her head since she wondered why Hestia, who was a virgin goddess, entered the same room as Isao. Nevertheless, the thought of tomorrow made her heart restless, but it wouldn't change her decision, and she definitely would vanquish all the Evilus in this world.
