Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 151: I miss you

At this moment, everyone was anxiously waiting in the living room as they heard the sound of water from the bathroom. While they knew that this wasn't something that they thought of, some of them thought to peek at him, wanting to see his bare, naked body like how a boy wished to peek at a girl when they took a bath. 

At that moment, all of them were perverted, pubescent boys who just wanted to see a naked girl! 

Only they knew what they should and shouldn't do, especially when they could see how Isao was a mess. Six days in the dungeon, without any break, and kept fighting. 

While no one thought that Isao could win, his determination to win was no longer doubted. Nevertheless, when they saw how messy he was when they saw him for the first time, they knew that he wouldn't listen to them no matter what. While they were frustrated, they were also helpless at how stubborn he was! 

Still, when some of them wondered whether they should peek and how they should talk about the War Game with Apollo Familia, Isao emerged in a much clearer state than before. He shaved, cut his hair, and dressed appropriately. When they saw his eyes, they could see that he was in good spirits, but he was a little listless, seemingly sleepy. 

"Do you want to eat? I bought something before I went back." 

"...." Everyone. 

Was this a time to eat? 

They wanted to scream, but Isao said, "Let's talk while we eat; I haven't eaten anything in the dungeon." 

"...you didn't eat anything?" Hestia asked with confusion. 

"I did a fasting." 

"Fasting..." 

What an unfamiliar word, especially for all of them, who ate and drank as they pleased except when they were on a diet. 

Isao looked at the waitresses of the Hostess of Fertility and asked, "You guys, why are you here too? You shouldn't get involved with me."

"Hmph!" 

Somehow, they snorted at him when they heard his words. 

"Don't look down on us, nyaa!" 

"Apollo Familia is nothing for us!" 

"Yeah, yeah. They are just a medium-sized Familia! We are facing a much stronger Familia!" 

While they were cute and beautiful, they weren't weak, and all of them had their share of battles. Their childhood was tough, and they faced many things. Isao might not say anything, but somehow, they could feel that he had a similar experience to them, which made them quite emphatic. 

"Isao-kun..." Syr looked at Isao with a gentle expression and asked, "Are you really going to fight?" 

Isao, who took out several foods from his bag, nodded at Syr's question. "I will." 

"Do you think that you can win? Aren't you just a Level 1 adventurer?" Mia looked at Isao with a huff. 

"I will win, but I hope that you don't watch my match." 

"Why so, nyaa?" Chloe Rollo asked curiously. 

"I am afraid that you might see me differently by then." 

"..." 

The side of him that he didn't want them to see.... while his words might seem to confuse others, they understood it since they also had something similar. Still, they couldn't tell him to stop. No, they couldn't since they would deny all of his hard work, and this was also why Hestia and Hephaestus never said anything and just supported him silently when he walked out of the bathroom. 

Still, watching Hestia and Hephaestus, Isao felt a bit nervous, but as a man with experience, he was glad that he kissed Hestia's forehead instead of her lips since, this way, there was room for a countermeasure. 

Nevertheless, while they wanted to say many things, they saw Isao take out a unique type of pot and something like a portable stove. There were also several sliced meats, vegetables, and other things that they didn't know. 

"Let's stop talking about those things now. Let's eat. I am famished." 

As he put lard on the pot, the delicious smell from the Maillard reaction and meat caused them to feel hungry. 

"What did you cook?" Hestia asked curiously. 

"Sukiyaki." 

Isao was glad that he had gotten the "Online Shopping" skill from Mukoda in the world of "Tondemo Skill," as it gave him many conveniences. 

Still, while many were focused on the food on the table, some were startled when Isao took out many things from the space. 

'Space inventory?!' 

They knew that sometimes someone had such a skill, but it was so rare! 

Even if there was an item that could have a similar effect, it was ridiculously expensive, yet Isao had this skill. 

What was he?!

They thought that they knew a lot about him, but what they saw was something that he wanted to see; the real him was still hidden, carefully, without showing his weakness, but even so, he still attracted them. 

Even if they were inside the abandoned church, they felt that this place was comfortable and cozy. 

"Come on! Come on! Let's eat. I have cooked for you all. If you don't eat, it will be wasteful." 

While they hesitated, they nodded, eating the food which they had never tried before. 

Isao even took out a type of alcohol that they had never seen before, and they had a feast. 

The last feast. 

This was probably how they should describe their situation. 

At the same time, some noticed that under the baggy clothes, Isao's body slowly recovered to the previous state, gaining the muscles that were somehow lost during his fasting and extreme training in the dungeon. 

After this, no one said anything about the War Game that he had to face tomorrow; instead, they were all focused on his food. 

"Iinuma-san, what is this white block thing?" Ryuu, the elf, asked curiously. It tasted quite nice, and it wasn't meat. 

"Oh, that's tofu. It is made from beans." 

"But is it really good to use a raw egg?" 

"Just try it." 

"Puwah! This alcohol is spicy!" 

"Don't drink too much. It's dangerous at night." 

"Don't underestimate me. I am not so weak, but you are also interested in that kind of thing, Iinuma-kun?" Lunoire Faust, the female human with short hair and luscious lips, asked curiously with a hint of naughtiness. 

"I am also a man, after all," Isao said calmly while looking at Lunoire with a gentle smile. 

Lunoire blushed and looked away. 

"....." Everyone. 

Why the heck has the atmosphere become so ambiguous?! 

"No! Isao-kun is mine!" Hestia quickly hugged Isao tightly. 

"Yes, yes." Isao patted Hestia's back helplessly and said, "Sit down first. Everyone is going to take the food if you don't eat it." 

"Ah, don't take the meat! My meat!" 

The atmosphere was fun and warm. At the same time, they also learned that Isao was a good cook. Nevertheless, while some wanted to stay, they knew that this wasn't the time. 

"See you later." 

Females from the Hostess of Fertility at Isao's place before reluctantly leaving. 

"See you later." Isao nodded, watching all the members of the Hostess of Fertility leave, then looked at Hephaestus. "You are going to go back?"

"Well, yeah..." Hephaestus said awkwardly while glancing at Hestia, who pouted at her. She knew that she was wrong, especially when she took an advance on the child of her best friend Familia, but then again, he was just that charming and addicting, but she knew that tonight, he had to be with Hestia. Moreover, even if she stayed, it was impossible to do something that she longed for, so she was going to wait until everything was over. 

"Okay, be careful on your way." 

"Um, thanks." Hephaestus nodded with a gentle smile, then looked at Hestia. "Hestia, I will go back first." 

"...um." Hestia nodded softly, then glanced at Isao, who somehow held her hand softly when Hephaestus left, which confused her. "Isao-kun?" 

"I miss you." 

Those words came out naturally from his lips. 

Hestia's eyes were all in tears, and she leaped and hugged him tightly. 

"I MISS YOU TOO!"

As she cried, Isao only comforted her and brought her back to their small home, where they had stayed together from the moment they were together.
