It's high noon. The sun shone brightly. The dust walked past me. Right now, I'm standing in the middle of the Colosseum. It belongs to the guild and I rented the place and post for a showdown.
As my payment toward Ishtar. Giving a frontal attack toward Freya would only damage the city and in that case, I used this method to rule people and increase Hestia Familia's popularity.
It's the fifth day that I'm doing so. At first people that doubt me start appearing left and right and I beat them within a second.
With the increase of participants from the first two days. I made a slight change to the rule and make it that death might occur. Looked like the participants diminishing drastically after the post but the spectators rather increased by a lot. It should be the last day I'm doing so and everyone gathered in hope to see me fighting Ottar, the current king.
The battle that put your pride on the line. The battle of the king. But sadly, He didn't come nor being seen leaving Freya's base. Everyone felt betrayed by his absence and started talking among themselves. Not that I care that much.
The other reason for me doing this is actually to gain more power. Going to the dungeon took a lot of time to go down. I need to fight someone to gain status easier.
With the time for moon festival coming closer. My back felt somewhat sweating a lot whenever I get to bed. I couldn't sleep peacefully. The bad feeling kept on coming, closer and closer each passing day which made me abandon Dionysus's cases toward Loki the other day.
With Filvis in my protection and high-level adventurer at home. No one is gonna harm her easily. I would soon reach level 8 after leveling up the other day.
I looked up and then speak out loud for everyone to hear "I would end the event today. I hope everyone had a good time watching these past few days." I said and leaving the Colosseum for the guild to take care of the rest.
Tomorrow is the moon festival and they are rather busy preparing for the event. So, I should end it today. I throw Durandal toward Gate of Babylon while walking back home.
Arrived back home, I got shocked by what I've seen. At first, I was thinking about how the world suddenly turned tensed these past few days before getting tackled by Tiona wearing a maid outfit.
"Ageas!! Welcome home!!" She said while holding me by the waist. "Tiona? Did Loki gave you the finishing contract?" I asked but then my vision locked on someone.
It's Tione that about to bring her sister back but stopped and hide behind the door but peeking toward me. Her behavior made me gave a little laugh which made her face turned red. She gritted her teeth before shouting at me "Stop laughing!!!!" She said with her maid uniform.
"This... This... This didn't mean that I want to cheer you up or something!! It's just... It's just that.. The contract that Tiona sign is for us twins. Yes, that's it.. Now, I have nowhere to live..." She said while crossing her arms. "Puhahahaha.... Isn't that somewhat sad for you to have nowhere to live." I said while she blushed even more.
"Tha... That..." She tried to thought about something before I pat her head. "It's fine, Tione. Welcome to the Familia." I said which calmed her down by a lot.
She looked a little relieved and about to say something but everyone already gathered in maid uniform and came running while welcoming me on the door.
"Welcome back. Ageas-sama." Everyone said at the same time. For me all of these felt somewhat weird which made me hard to smile.
"Is it Bell's idea?" I asked them since I heard my brother said that last time. "Eh? Did you know? So, Is it lighten the mood for you?" Shakti said while giving me a hug.
"Well... It felt a little weird but it really lightened me up. Alright... Since it's been a long time since we have a break. How about go shopping for today and enjoy the moon festival tomorrow?" I said which made them vanished from my sight. Even Tiona and Tione are also gone.
"Emmm... Anoo... Ageas-dono... Can I also?" For some reason I forgot about someone. It's Mikoto that speaking to me while also wearing the maid outfit. "Why are you in one?" I asked her which made her blushed. "I... I just wanted to try since everyone wearing it." Mikoto said while gripping on her skirt.
"Alright, you can also come." I said since I'm about to went to Hestia's room but then the doorbell rang behind me.
I opened the door and look at who is it. "Em.... Ais?? What are you doing here? What's with the huge bag?" I asked her that carrying a huge bag behind her.
"I'm moving in." She said and went inside the house. "Emmm.... Yeah? sure? Have you talk with Loki-sama?" I asked her but she ignored me when looking for the other.
I would have lifted her up for doing so but now, I need to use my remaining time alone and went toward Hestia's room.
Inside the room only 3 people around. Revis, Hestia, and Filvis. "What's your condition, Filvis?" I asked her while she's playing chess with Hestia with Revis observing the game.
"I'm doing good actually... Checkmate." Filvis said while moving her rook. "Aaarrrggghhh!!! Why can't I win for once!!!??" Hestia shouted feeling irritated.
"Hestia... Update my status." I said while removing my top. "Uuggghh... Do I need to update your status every single day now?" Hestia said while jeering at me.
"Eemmm... Ageas-san, Can you stop removing your clothes casually?" Filvis said while looking away but I could see her ears turned red. "Hmm? Why?? He's just a man." Revis said while eating her crackers.
"I'm sorry, Filvis. It won't take a long time." I said and sit down on the bed and Hestia started updating my status. "Hah~... I know I shouldn't pry into your personal problem and you're working hard but... Is this not enough?" Hestia said and giving me the paper.
Everything reset back to zero and my level got up to 8 even after only a few days they got to 7. Still, even after looking at the number. The bad feeling won't go away, It only got worse.
"Emm... Let me guess... Another level up?" Revis said while started crunching. Her comment made me looked at her for a second "Is it that obvious?" I said and looked back to my paper.
"Is it really a common thing?" Filvis asked and tried to act calm but she closed her eyes shut and not looking at all. "You tell me... Have you heard of this guy before? What level do you think he reached this time?" Revis asked Filvis.
I don't mind telling people because nothing they could do about it either. "Isn't he supposed to be level 6? I mean not that I belittle him but reaching level 6 in just a few months is already a miracle." Filvis said.
"It's...." Revis muttered and dashed to punched me to Filvis's surprise. I blocked her punched with ease. "Should be 7 or above... No.. It should be 8." Revis said while smiling.
"Just eat your food, Revis." I said while throwing her punch away. "Ay ay... Boss." She said and back to seating down. "Well... That's that. I will be going with everyone. Anyone coming?" I asked and wearing my clothes again while walking out.
"Ow.. ow... Me.. mee.." Revis said even Hestia looked revived from her bed. "Do you need anything, Filvis?" I asked her since she couldn't come.
Her status is unknown except for Loki and her familia and Hestia familia.
"Emm.. No... I don't need anything. Everything is good." Filvis said but still closing her eyes. "Alright.. We will bring you something later." I said while going out from the room before she said anything unnecessary.
