Eiji wakes up after a night with Yuki and Kurumi, who are both pregnant. Meanwhile, Asfi takes refuge in Eiji's house with other women, observing the events unfolding. Elsewhere, the beautiful goddess Aphrodite arrives in Orario, seeking Freya's help and intrigued by the rising god Eiji.

At the same time.

After having fun with Yuki and Kurumi this morning.

Eiji and Artemis arrived at Hearth Manor, the new home of the Hestia Familia. The former invited the latter under the pretext of congratulating Hestia.

However, he had other intentions for meeting the goddess. Artemis happily agreed to meet Hestia, since she was her friend back when she was in Heaven; the two of them had a good relationship.

"Eiji! I'm glad you came to visit me! But I didn't expect to see you here too, Artemis!" Hestia opened the door for the two people who had come to her house.

She smiled brightly, but her eyes narrowed slightly when they fell on Artemis's arm linked with Eiji's.

Their relationship seemed very close.

Since when?

She must have missed a lot of news! Before this, she only knew that Eiji had saved Artemis from Antares.

Artemis realized Hestia's gaze was fixed on her arm; she hurriedly let go of Eiji's arm in a panic and embarrassment.

[Artemis, you're so shy.]

Shut up! I'm not a shameless person like you, Eiji.

Artemis grumbled in her heart before she said, "Hello, Hestia. How are you? You seem to be living well in the lower world. Your place also looks really nice; I even don't have a permanent home."

She wore a slightly envious expression on her face.

Even though she knew what had happened between Hestia and Apollo not long ago.

Hestia was entertained by what Artemis said; she laughed awkwardly. "Hehe, I'm just lucky… It's all thanks to Eiji; he's helped me a lot. Before this, I was even living in the Abandoned Church and was very poor."

"...." Eiji smiled.

Is this what they call it—when your friend praises you as being better than them, you try to respond humbly and not arrogantly?

But, Hestia, your nose is in the air now!

The way you said that also sounded like you were showing off.

Artemis giggled and asked, "Are you welcoming me too?"

"Of course, Artemis! You're one of my best friends in Heaven. You two, come on in!"

Hestia invited the two of them in and led them to the luxurious living room.

It was completely different from the Hestia Familia's living room in the past.

Like a newly rich person, Hestia offered Eiji and Hestia various kinds of high-quality drinks. Now, she didn't just offer her guests plain water.

Eiji chose apple juice, and Artemis chose the same drink as him. Just as Hestia was about to head to the kitchen, one of her familia members walked in and offered to help.

"Let me get the drinks for the guests, Hestia-sama!"

With dark brown hair and golden eyes, as well as ears and a tail, it was Lili. It had been a long time since Eiji last saw her.

Unlike in the past, her hair was longer. She seemed to be using her magic, Cinder Ella, to transform her appearance into that of a Chienthrope.

That magic allowed her to transform into anything roughly the same size as herself, including monsters.

This version of Lili was still beautiful and adorable.

Eiji couldn't help but think of something.

[Something lewd? For example, are you wondering if Lili can change her appearance over and over again in bed? And give you a variety of sensations in one body?]

Cough! Cough! Miss System, what are you saying? You're the one thinking that, okay?

Admit that you're a dirty-minded woman.

Miss System: "....."

Her host refuses to admit it and slanders her.

"Ah, Lili? Alright, I'll leave that up to you." Hestia didn't refuse—or rather, it was only natural for a member of her familia to help her in that situation.

But was it just her imagination, or did Lili's outfit seem more revealing, and her shorts shorter?

She—and everyone in the room—could see a lot of her skin: her cleavage, which was actually quite ample, her stomach, and her thighs.

Her appearance wasn't just adorable—she was also sexy!

[I don't know what's wrong with Bell's head that he'd turn down a woman like Lili who's head over heels for him.]

[Wait, I know he actually likes Apollo! Lili is so pitiful—it's one thing if she loses to Ais or another heroine, but no—she was beaten by a man!]

[I wonder if she's heartbroken? She even changed her look to make herself look sexy.]

[Who is the guy she's trying to seduce with that look? I'm a little jealous.]

As soon as Eiji said that in his inner voice, Lili, who was preparing apple juice for the stunned group, felt a surge of joy.

Her cheeks flushed slightly. Eiji said he was a little jealous—does that mean she's attractive to him?

And no, she wasn't heartbroken at all. She was just deliberately making her appearance more provocative for men, because she wanted to seduce him.

She hadn't expected the opportunity to come sooner than she'd thought.

"Ouch! Ouch! Artemis, why did you pinch my waist?" Eiji pretended to be in pain and asked, looking confused.

"Hmph!" Artemis just snorted.

She didn't bother explaining the reason behind her action.

Even without Eiji's inner voice, she saw how he stared at Lili until she disappeared into the kitchen.

This guy...

Why is he so lecherous and never satisfied?

"Hestia, you too... Why are you staring at me while puffing out your cheeks? When you do that, you look so cute."

"Ehhh!? Really!?"

Hestia felt a little jealous because Eiji had praised Lili's appearance in her heart, but what he said immediately made her blush and stop glaring at him.

She asked if she looked really cute to his eyes?

Artemis: Hestia, don't be fooled by his sweet words! This guy is clearly trying to distract you!

Unfortunately, Hestia couldn't read her mind and didn't understand the meaning behind her gaze; she cupped her cheeks with both hands.

Her smile looked a bit silly.

"I'm serious." Eiji said casually.

"Hehe, you've got a sweet mouth, Eiji. No wonder Artemis fell for you." Hestia laughed.

Artemis was a little taken aback by what she said, but she couldn't argue. After all, she had even given her virginity to Eiji!

Hestia hadn't expected Artemis not to argue, and that made her jealous of her all over again.

The meaning was clear: that woman's relationship with Eiji was closer than she'd thought!

How far had they gone?

Before she could ask, Lili returned from the kitchen and placed two glasses of apple juice on the table.

"Eiji-sama, Artemis-sama... Here are your drinks."

"Thank you, Lili."

"Is your name Lili? Thank you."

Eiji and Artemis thanked her; the former immediately drank his apple juice. His gaze remained fixed on Lili's face, before tracing down her collarbone and the cleavage of her breasts.

Lili noticed this; her face felt hot. She nodded and said, "Mhm, you're welcome!"

Then, she reluctantly went to another room because she knew she couldn't sit with them. Besides, Eiji and Artemis seemed to have come to see their goddess.

It would be rude for her to join them uninvited.

"Ahem!" Hestia cleared her throat; she was just like Artemis—she was also a little annoyed by the way Eiji was looking at Lili.

However, she would pretend not to notice.

She'd known for a long time that Eiji was a lecher, and she didn't hate him for it. He wasn't like Bell, who never dared to openly show his lust toward women—but that was probably because he was gay!

That was proven by what happened yesterday.

Compared to Bell, Eiji lusting after Lili was normal. However, Hestia wants him to be lustful toward her. She didn't want to lose to Artemis!

"Eiji, before you arrived, I actually had planned to meet with you and thank you for your help before. Without Kurumi and Yuki, I doubt Bell and the rest of my Familia would have been able to defeat the Apollo Familia."

Speaking of Kurumi and Yuki, they're certainly no longer members of her familia now. The contract to borrow familia members is only valid for one day.

Hestia sighed at that.

When would she ever have women as strong as them in her familia again?

"That's not true; Bell actually had a pretty good chance of securing a victory for the Hestia Familia in yesterday's War Game."

After all, that man is the protagonist.

Eiji said that, but from Hestia's perspective, he was just being humble and overestimating Bell.

"Bell might have had a pretty good chance, but I ended up asking for your help, Eiji. It's only right that I thank you."

"O-Of course, I haven't forgotten our deal..."

She glanced at Artemis shyly and deliberately, as if trying to provoke her, and told her that she was her love rival.

Artemis' lips twitched, "A deal? Hestia, can you tell me what kind of deal you and Eiji have?"

She narrowed her eyes at the man sitting beside her. Any other man would have panicked upon receiving such a look from his wife, but Eiji finished the rest of his apple juice and still wore a relaxed expression on his face.

He didn't have the guilt of a husband whose affair was about to be exposed.

Artemis: Shameless.

Hestia hesitated to answer, "That… Artemis, you should ask Eiji. Something like that... it's too embarrassing for me to say!"

The petite goddess clutched her chubby cheeks with both hands; she looked genuinely embarrassed.

However, Artemis knew that she had done it on purpose to provoke her!

Even so, Hestia was still too naive. She actually didn't need to compete with her for a man. That's because Eiji has a harem.

'It's not just me—he's even slept with Demeter and Hephaestus, Hestia! Did you forget? You should be able to hear his inner voice too, right?'

Artemis complained in her heart.

Eiji calmly said, "To help the Hestia Familia in the War Game, I didn't do it for free. Hestia offered to be my woman; I agreed only because of that!"

And you didn't hesitate to admit it to me!?

You even sound proud, Eiji.

Artemis felt an itch in her teeth; she wanted to bite Eiji, but in the end, she just sighed.

To be honest, she'd had a hunch ever since Hestia mentioned the deal with Eiji, and her hunch was right.

Eiji isn't a bad person, but he isn't a good one either. Why would he help Hestia go this far? It was clearly to get her body!

It's just like how he kindly asked her to stay temporarily at his familia's house, and took advantage of that opportunity to woo her. In the end, after receiving so much kindness from him, she couldn't help but fall in love with him and offer her virginity to him.

She and Hestia aren't all that different.

"I see. Eiji, you're so..." Artemis didn't finish her words.

"What? Artemis, I feel like you're thinking something rude about me." Eiji said without hesitation.

"Am I supposed to think nice things about you after what I heard, Eiji?" Artemis had a blank expression, her hand reaching out again toward his waist.

She pinched him hard.

But this time, Eiji didn't even bother to pretend to be in pain and replied, "Not really. I admit I'm a bastard, but I'm a responsible bastard. You, Hestia, and all the women in my harem are my wings."

"You, you...!"

Artemis was at a loss for words; in her entire life, she had never seen anyone whose shamelessness could compare to Eiji's.

However, it was hard for her to hate him.

Or rather, ever since he saved her from Antares, she had come to regard him as her Orion.

After falling in love with him and losing her virginity to him, she felt she couldn't live without him anymore.

[Hehehe. Just as expected of our king! A Harem King really has to be like this; he mustn't act like a coward in a situation like this, and must proudly declare that all the women he has wooed are his wings. Subarashii! Subarashii!]

Leme praised her king wildly.

Miss System fell silent.

Eiji resisted the urge to rub his nose; he was happy, of course. He, Eiji Seiya, would continue to expand his harem and spread his seed all over the universe.

[That's a crazy ambition, host.]

'At least I have it rather than nothing at all.'

[...]

Just like Artemis, Miss System was also at a loss for words to respond to her host's remark.

"Wait a minute, does that mean Artemis and you have already done that, Eiji? That's not fair—you clearly wooed me first!" Hestia puffed out her cheeks and placed both her hands on the table. She leaned forward until her large breasts swayed.

What a beautiful sight, thought Eiji.

"Is that what you're asking, Hestia!?" Artemis widened her eyes in surprise.

"What else am I supposed to ask? It's not like I didn't already know Eiji has a harem. Even before me, Demeter and Hephaestus had already beaten me to it. But Artemis, I didn't expect you to cut in line."

Hestia glared at the Goddess of the Hunt as if she were a thief.

There was a look of exasperation on her face that was so adorable that anyone, including Eiji, would want to pinch her cheeks.

"You're blaming me!?" Artemis felt offended; she glared at Hestia angrily before she thought of something. In front of Hestia, she wrapped her arm around Eiji's and pressed her body against his.

She proudly said, "Blame yourself for being too slow, Hestia. From what you said, it seems like you've known Eiji longer than I have, but he seems to have fallen in love with me quickly, and I love him too—so much so that we did that… You know? This is basically the difference in charm between us."

"What!? Are you implying that my appearance is inferior to yours, Artemis?!" Veins bulged on Hestia's forehead, and she clenched her fists.

If the person who had annoyed her was Loki, she would have already tried to beat her up by now.

"I didn't mean it that way. You're the one who said it, Hestia." Artemis said with an innocent expression, but her fuller breasts seemed to press against Eiji's body even harder.

She was clearly trying to provoke the petite goddess on purpose.

Still, the way she was doing it would break the hearts of the gods who had once been her suitors in the past.

They also wouldn't have expected Artemis to deliberately press her body against a man.

After all, it was Artemis! One of the famous Virgin Goddesses who hated men.

But that was in the past. Now, she is no longer a Virgin Goddess. And the man she's hugging is her husband.

Hestia realized this, and puffed out her cheeks until she looked like a pufferfish. She frantically jumped from the other side of the table and grabbed one of Eiji's arms.

This left Eiji sandwiched between the two goddesses, and he enjoyed it.

"Hmph! So what? Sooner or later, I'll make Eiji like me more than you!"

"Oh? I'm curious how you're going to do that? With your big breasts? They're only slightly bigger than mine, and I'm still taller than you, Hestia."

"You said it, you said it...! Artemis, you've really changed. You dare to make fun of my height! You're so annoying!"

"Don't forget, you're the one who annoyed me first."

Artemis and Hestia started arguing, clinging tightly to Eiji's arms as they glared at each other.

Eiji quickly said, "You two, calm down. Aren't you two on good terms?"

"Not anymore!!" The two women said in unison.

But before they could continue taunting each other, a voice in their heads made both of them glance down at his pants.

[I know that friendships between women don't last forever, especially when they like the same guy. But if you keep hugging me like this... As a healthy man, I can't control my physiological reaction!]

Or more precisely, a large bulge grew from his pants.

Artemis and Hestia blushed.

This guy...!

He's aroused!

"Eiji, you..." Before Artemis could scold Eiji for reacting that way.

Hestia said something surprising while gripping the large bulge in his pants.

"This is a good opportunity. Eiji, now I'm your woman too. As a thank you for your help before, let me help you. I'll also prove that I'm better than Artemis!"

Without waiting to hear what Eiji would say next, she shyly but firmly unzipped his pants.

"Hestia, stop..."

Artemis tried to stop the woman, but it was too late; Eiji's penis sprang out of his pants.

Its above-average size caused two people to swallow audibly. However, one of them didn't come from Artemis.

After all, she had known for a long time just how big Eiji's penis was.

Besides Hestia, there was also Lili; she had also witnessed the scene because she was peeking from another room. Just like her goddess, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

'Eiji-sama's penis... Could it fit inside Lili's body?'

Lili spoke to herself in her mind, her saliva almost dripping from her mouth.

Still, Hestia was so bold to pull down Eiji's pants in the living room. Artemis was even still there—were the three of them going to do something lewd right there!?

Forget about her.

If Bell and Welf saw that...

That would be fun, Eiji thought.
