Chapter 142 – Dinner at the Loki Familia home.
The rest of my day was far from pleasant. Hestia was quite bothered by my rtionship with Ishtar, and I can understand why. Ishtar is a dirty woman.
She''s worried about me. And, she''s also jealous. She thought she was the only goddess I had fucked.
I fucked Ishtar first— and that''s something I want to keep from her. If she finds out I fucked Ishtar first, she''ll be even more upset. Let''s leave it at that; she doesn''t need to know!
After a rather unpleasant day at home, night had finally arrived.
I took a hot shower, put on my best clothes, tied my hair, and used myst few drops of cologne. After all this time, my cologne is finally gone, and my deodorant is running low, too.
I''ll need to find recements soon.
When I went downstairs, all dressed up and smelling nice, Hestia gave me a pouty look. She turned her head, pretending to ignore me.
But I walked over to her and sat beside her on the sofa. I slipped my hand behind her neck and kissed her on the head. "I''m not going to see Ishtar, don''t worry. I''m going to Loki Familia''s ce."
"I don''t care about that… Wait, did you say Loki Familia? What are you going there for?"
"I was invited to dinner."
"You were invited to dinner? By who? Are you sure you''re not imagining things?"
"Tiona invited me."
"Tiona… Oh, that girl. I thought it was that Ais Wallenstein who invited you."
"I think she''s also quite eager for dinner," I said with a smile.
"You''re trying to irritate me, aren''t you?"
"Of course not."
"Get out!d Don''te any closer. I''m still mad at you. I''ll think about forgiving youter." Hestia pushed me away. But despite pushing me, she didn''t resist when I leaned in and kissed her.
We shared a passionate kiss, and when our lips parted, Hestia turned her face away, her cheeks flushed and looking very happy.
"Have you forgiven me yet?"
"No. Go on to your dinner."
"You''re going to make me sad, goddess."
"Just go to your dinner!" Hestia pouted and got up. After taking a few steps, she turned back to me. "I''ll be waiting for you here. You''ll have to make me forgive you tonight."
Her face was red as a ripe tomato. I know what she''s hinting at.
"Don''t worry, I''ll make you forgive me. Tonight, you''ll have the best night of your life."
"…"
Hestia dashed upstairs, and Lili, who had been in the room the entire time, finally spoke up.
"I feel lonely."
"We just did that this afternoon; don''t be so greedy."
"Tsk!"

When I arrived at Loki Familia''s home, Tiona greeted me outside. She had been waiting for me. Tiona was dressed casually, nothing too fancy.
Tiona looked me up and down.
"Wow, you look great. You must have been looking forward to this dinner, huh?"
"Of course. I''m having the pleasure of dining with beautiful women like you all."
Tiona blushed and cleared her throat. "No need to tter us that much. Let''s go inside; Ais and Tione are waiting for you."
"Will it just be the four of us?"
"Yes, is that a problem?"
"I thought there would be other members of the Loki Familia at dinner."
"This is a private dinner, just for us."
"But I thought Loki wanted to meet me. Did you lie?"
"No, of course not. Hahaha." It''s obvious Tiona''s lying.
But I don''t mind.
I walked inside with Tiona. I meet a few people along the way. They were side characters I didn''t care about. Besides the three girls, the only character that interests me here is Loki.
I want to meet her tonight.
We walked down a long hallway in silence and arrived at a door.
There were many doors around. Did they turn one of the rooms into a dining room so we wouldn''t need to use the main dining room?
Probably.
"Let''s go in. They''re waiting for us."
Tiona opened the door, and we entered the room.
Although it was a makeshift dining room, it was beautifully decorated and very luxurious. The table was small, seating only four people.
"Luan," Ais said my name when she saw me, then cleared her throat. "Make yourself at home," she said.
I took the seat next to her, and Tiona sat across from me, next to Tione.
The table was already filled with food for us to enjoy.
But in the end, we talked more than we ate. The main topic of conversation was what had happened in the dungeon earlier. After nearly an hour of eating and talking about the dungeon, the subject turned to my book again.
Of course, Ais was the most curious about the third volume.
But just as I was about to reveal that the third volume was ready and would be published soon, someone suddenly opened the door.
"What''s going on here? What is this dining room?" It was Loki.
She looked at all of us with a serious expression, seeking answers.
The three girls exchanged nces, and I stayed silent.
They didn''t tell Loki about this dinner, right?
I smiled at Loki and set my fork on the te. I raised my hands and said, "Sorry for the intrusion. My name is Luan, from the Hestia Familia."
"Familia Hestia?" Loki eximed in surprise. "Luan… Luan… Oh, wait, it''s you." Her lips curved into a mischievous smile.
She walked over to Ais and positioned herself between us. Loki wrapped her arms around our necks and said, "I want to know what''s going on here. You two areing with me. Is that all right?"
Loki''s eyes widened, and she looked at Tiona and Tione as if to say, "Don''t even think about following us."
We couldn''t do anything but leave the room with Loki.
''She''s not angry or anything... Right?''
