Chapter 934 934: Seiya Familia
"Nice working with you, Ouranos." Eiji said as he leaned his body on the sofa. He also spread his arms until the two women on either side of him seemed to lean their bodies against him.
Artoria sat in a normal posture, but Morgan did not hesitate to lean against her master's chest.
This woman...
She glared at her.
Morgan ignored her overly serious half-sister.
Only Scáthach and Medusa were sitting quietly.
Seeing the scene, Ouranos nodded. There was curiosity in his eyes, "Fels."
Instantly, the figure of Fels appeared behind him. Eiji and his women were not surprised at all.
They had certainly sensed Fels' existence for a long time. It was just that, since he was acting as Ouranos' bodyguard and showed no hostility, none of the women moved.
Ouranos did not know, but Fels felt a chill run through his body when the gazes of the women in the room fell on him.
Was he afraid?
It had been a long time since he had implanted the Philosopher's Stone he created into his own body, and became immortal. Although it did not prevent the deterioration of his body, his current condition made it unnecessary for him to eat, drink, or sleep. Many of the emotions that a living person should have were also greatly reduced.
Meaning... these women could kill him easily. Fels wanted to swallow, but his body currently did not enable him to do so.
"Ouranos-sama, what are your orders?"
"You heard all the things Eiji asked for? Tell the people to prepare what he needs."
"I'll do it right away."
After saying that, Fels turned transparent again and left the room in an unknown manner. At least Ouranos did not know how exactly Fels did it.
But Eiji and the women in the room knew. With just their perception, they saw how Fels went through the wall like a ghost.
"You have a unique subordinate."
"Fels is level 4. He can't be compared to the members of your Familia, Eiji. As proof, you guys seem to have long been aware of his existence."
Ouranos realized this.
He did not bother to hide Fels' level. At least in front of Eiji, it was pointless.
It was better to use this as a form of sincerity to cooperate with him.
[This old man is sly, but since he's sucking up to me so much, I'll pretend I don't know he's trying to get some points from me.]
Only the women in the room knew that Eiji was talking about Ouranos.
Ah, and probably Asfi who knew they were talking to him.
The other heroines had no idea who the old man Eiji was referring to was. Of course, it didn't matter.
"That's just because our senses are better than the people in this world. If it was other adventurers with a level higher than 4, many of them would still find it difficult to detect Fels' presence. His cloak has the ability to block curses and anti-status magic, he can also make himself invisible with it."
"You know that much?" Ouranos did not expect Eiji to know the function of Fels' cloak so accurately.
Previously was the first time they met, right?
"One of my abilities is that I'm omniscient. It's easy for me to know whatever secrets a person has."
Eiji did not explain the details about the Angel of Knowledge Rasiel and his knowledge of the original work.
Ouranos was frightened but soon, he regained his composure. As long as he did not become Eiji's enemy, he had nothing to fear.
Although he could only resign himself because all the secrets of him and the people around him might be known by him.
"With abilities like that, I'm even more optimistic about you and your family, Eiji."
"By the way, may I ask you about something more personal?"
"Sure." Eiji did not refuse to satisfy Ouranos' curiosity. At least until Fels returned.
Ouranos asked, "Since you have registered your family with the Guild, you have also given Falna to your family members?"
"I did."
"How? You also know how to use Falna like the gods or goddesses in this world?"
Actually, he himself was the first god to give Falna to humans to help them fight the monsters in the dungeon.
"Hestia told me how Falna works and I created something similar to it."
"You did that? It seems that as a god from another universe, you can actually use your powers as you please in this world." Ouranos widened his eyes.
Now he understood what Eiji might have been doing in the Hestia Familia house earlier.
He did not ask further. For example, where did those women come from? He didn't doubt the level of those who had registered with the Guild.
Especially that woman with long purple hair and red eyes (Scáthach), she gave him the feeling that she might be able to kill him, even when he used his Arcanum.
That was what his intuition as a great god said, but whether it was true or not... he wasn't sure.
"Does that mean the gods in this world can't do it?" It was not Eiji who asked, but Scáthach.
She was curious as to why the gods in that world did not conquer the dungeon with their own power.
Ouranos was silent for a moment before answering, "The gods and goddesses of this world are bound by divine rules or oaths between us before descending to the lower world. After descending from heaven and living in the lower world with a physique as fragile as a human's and unable to level up..."
"We are also not allowed to use our divine powers except in certain situations. If a god dares to release even the slightest divine power/Arcanum, they will be immediately 'deported' back to Heaven (Tenkai) by force and banned from descending back to the lower world forever."
Except for Eiji, the women were a little surprised.
Such rules were not imposed on them, but they themselves made them.
That meant they were treating the lower world as a playground. But to be fair, they didn't mind sealing away their own power and living like humans.
[(Seiya Familia Group Chat)]
[Morgan: The gods in this world are quite crazy, they would go to such lengths to entertain themselves.]
[Medusa: That's different from the gods who won't lower themselves like the humans in my world.]
[Artoria: I'm not sure if this is good or bad...]
[Scáthach: I think they're funny.]
Funny?
You said they were funny, Scáthach!?
[Eiji ✓: We are of one mind, Scáthach. As a gift from me, let's play basketball tonight.]
[Scáthach: That sounds more like a gift to yourself. But sure, let's play.]
[Artoria: Y-You two are perverts! Can you not talk about such things here?]
[Medusa: Can I join in too?]
[Eiji ✓: Sure, Medusa. You two can fight me. Dribbling two balls at once is not impossible for me.]
[Scáthach: I like your confidence.]
[Artoria: Don't ignore me! You're clearly not talking about playing basketball!]
[Morgan: The checkmark is familiar... Count me in, my husband.]
While the Seiya Familia group chat was quite whispery and Eiji? He was busy replying to chats from beautiful women.
On the surface, Scáthach asked again. "Since you guys are as weak as ordinary humans, what if you get killed?"
"In that case, only our physical bodies will die and our souls will return to Heaven. There, we will regenerate but cannot return to the lower world for a long time. If we die because we have broken the rules before, we are not even allowed to go to the lower world forever."
Ouranos replied.
From Eiji's point of view, it was the same as a player playing a game with one life. After game over, you can't play the same game a second time.
It reminded him of Artemis. In the original work, in order to give her familia members enough time to escape, she was killed because a monster devoured her.
She died, but because her soul and body were fused with that monster, Antares. She cannot return to Heaven and the only way to stop Antares from destroying the world is to kill its "core", Artemis herself.
Protagonist Bell uses a special spear called Orion, he is forced to pierce Artemis' heart to end his suffering and save the world.
He became a hero recognized by many in Orario.
But the woman who loved him had been sacrificed to Heaven!
Before completely vanishing, Artemis even promised Bell that they would meet again and fall in love in "10,000 years" to come.
My eyes reddened, I cried when I saw that scene!
However, the promise was obviously unrealistic because by then, Bell would have already died. He might be reincarnated, but even when he was alive, he soon forgot Artemis because he was infatuated with Ais.
[Artemis, wait for me. I definitely won't let you be sacrificed to heaven like in the original work!]
[The protagonist is too useless. I myself must intervene so that the tragic-fated women of the world can have a happy ending!]
Hearing this, many heroines in Danmachi didn't understand, but they were moved because really?
Eiji, you're going to do that?
A goddess whose name was mentioned was confused, she felt her face hot and wondered what would happen to her that a man she didn't know was so worried about her?
Still, feeling worried this much wasn't bad, her heartbeat was inexplicably beating faster.
Bell had no other choice but to have more green over his head.
"I'm back, Ouranos-sama. I've finished all the things you asked for."
Moments later, Fels returned. However, in his hand was also a brown sack that looked fat.
The women wondered what it contained?
"Good job, Fels. And Eiji, please accept these few tens of millions of Valis. If it's not enough, you can ask me again later." Ouranos said like a good grandfather.
Many people in Orario would probably vomit blood if they heard that.
"Thank you."
Eiji happily accepted the money. He told Medusa to take it for him.
Now he suddenly felt what it was like to be a villain with a great background or connections.
[You admit that you're a villain, host?]
Ahem! I take back what I thought.
What I meant was that I'm a good and great guy. It's only natural that Ouranos would give me this much money to spend as I please.
Miss System: "...."
She rolled her eyes.
Fels also placed a small wooden box containing many keys made of gold and some papers on the table. Ouranos then said, "Take those too, they are the keys to the house, the land and house certificates for your Familia. They have the address written on them."
"If you are not satisfied, you can also contact some of the people whose names are written to renovate the building. The renovation costs will be fully covered by the Guild."
"Thank you."
The lips of the women in the room twitched.
Their men were shameless, but they didn't know what to say.
[Yare-yare. Why didn't I do something like this in the previous worlds? I regret not extorting something from some people when I didn't yet have my own home or the facilities I needed.]
Oh, no.
That seems like bad news for certain people in the future. As for the people in the previous world? They were lucky, thought the senior heroines.
For example Sirzechs in the Draconic Deus world, he only gave his wife to Eiji. Wait, was he really that lucky?
Rias felt that her older brother was not so lucky.
Currently, Grayfia was even pregnant with Eiji's child.
...
After the conversation with Ouranos was over and they exited the private room, Asfi immediately walked over to them asking Eiji.
"Eiji-sama, how did it go?"
"Asfi, now I can support you if you want. Tell me, is there anything you want to buy? I can buy it for you."
"Wh-What are you saying!?"
Asfi blushed and glared at the man in front of her.
His words would make others misunderstand that she was his girlfriend or that he wanted to marry her.
However, she didn't know. Now there were rumors about her dating a guy (Eiji). Many adventurers even thought she was in a relationship now.
Artoria and the other three women looked at Asfi as if she was pitiful because she had not realized her situation. Ever since Eiji saw her, she basically wouldn't be able to escape him and could only become their sister.
"Eiji-sama, please be serious."
"I am serious."
"You... Is there another thing I can help you with?"
Asfi tried to change the topic.
Eiji knew this and smiled, "For now, there is one more thing. Asfi, do you know where this address is?"
He showed her the address of his Familia's house. Of course, he could know the exact location with Rasiel's help, but it was more fun to ask a beautiful woman for help.
[Our king is a cultured man!]
Leme complimented her king.
Eiji refrained from brushing his hair back.
"Hmm... I know this and can take you there. Still, is this the address of your new residence, Eiji-sama?" Holding the paper with the address in her hand, Asfi could not help being curious.
Eiji casually replied, "To be precise, it is a house that Ouranos gave me. That will be the Seiya Familia's house."
"Oh..."
Asfi vaguely remembered a building that Ouranos might have given to Eiji. She had even heard that many gods or goddesses wanted that building. One of them was Loki, Hermes once told her that if the goddess had not built Twilight Manor as a home for her family, she wanted the building to be a place for her and her family to live.
The other gods or goddesses also have more or less the same problem as Loki. There was also the matter of the price, Ouranos set a very high price for the building so that unless a large family was interested in wasting money, it was impossible for a small family with a small income to afford it.
But now, Ouranos seemed to be giving the building to Eiji for free.
Asfi was surprised and at the same time, she wondered what kind of deal would make Ouranos pamper Eiji as if he were his grandson.
She did not dare to ask and immediately led the group to the address they were heading for. Before long, they arrived in front of a mansion gate that was still quite far ahead, but had a very large courtyard, larger than the courtyards of Loki Familia and Freya Familia's houses.
"As far as I remember, this is the most expensive building in Orario that no one has occupied until now. Ouranos-sama built it personally using a few percent of the Guild's funds."
Asfi explained while adjusting the position of her glasses.
"This building is... not bad." Eiji said while holding his chin.
Besides the large yard, the building was also large and had architecture similar to the Victorian or classical European style with creamy white walls, and a dark brown or reddish colored tiled roof.
The structure consists of two floors with large windows and balconies on some sides. As for the inside? He could see it using his eyes that could penetrate objects and he felt quite satisfied.
He suddenly remembered the mansion that the protagonist Kazuma and his party members lived in. The building in front of him gave him the same vibe but much more luxurious of course.
[Konosuba!]
The heroines: ???
"Not bad!? It's a building no less luxurious than the homes of Loki Familia, Freya Familia and Apollo Familia..."
Asfi complained, she felt a hand grab her shoulder.
It was Artoria and she said, "Ignore what Eiji says, his standards are different from most people. Where he lives, the house has even been remodeled so much that the outside isn't as spacious as the inside... It's hard for me to explain it in words. Personally, I think it's a very nice house."
"Artoria-san, are you saying that just to cheer me up?"
"No, I—"
Before Artoria finished her words, Morgan interrupted. "Girl, you don't know, but this blonde woman is the former King of a country and she has a palace that even I once envied until I destroyed it."
"Morgan...!"
Artoria almost wanted to take out Excalibur and slash at Morgan. Her face was flushed with embarrassment and annoyance.
Morgan sneered, she was not afraid of Artoria and rammed her plump chest into her breastplate. Since she was taller than her, she could look down on her from her position.
The ahoge on top of Artoria's head stood tall, her patience as a King and sister again tested by Morgan.
Asfi wondered how Eiji could date the two women at the same time?
They obviously had a grudge against each other!
