"But you…"
Takatsuki was about to say something but then thought of the almost infinite lifespan of a goddess, so there was no such thing as wasted youth or anything like that.
This was also the reason they had the capital to be willful.
"Then you, Hestia, might have to wait, at least I have no intention of breaking up with Mei now, nor will I in the future."
Hearing Takatsuki's words, Hestia chuckled twice.
"I didn't say I wanted you to break up with Mei. If you can convince Mei, I don't mind…"
Is this really a virgin goddess? Takatsuki rolled his eyes at Hestia, not intending to continue this topic.
"Speaking of which, you haven't exposed your ability to use divine power to Theresa and the others, have you?"
"Of course, although there are no restrictions in this world, the decision not to interfere with the lower realm is not just a seal restriction, but because I want to witness the possibilities of mortals. Of course, now that I have divine power, I am not some pedantic god. I will still act when crucial matters arise."
Takatsuki nodded, instructed Hestia to be careful not to reveal her divine power, and then didn't bother with it further.
After that, Hestia told Takatsuki what they did in the morning
Theresa actually took Hestia to her office and even shared her manga books with Hestia.
"That manga called Honkai Adventure is quite interesting."
Is this thing actually quite popular?
In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai is arguably a world-class mascot. Takatsuki thought it was just a game setting that led to this, and he had read related works, only thinking, it was just so-so.
He didn't expect Hestia to become obsessed with it too.
Midway through, Takatsuki casually mentioned what Hestia planned to do next, and Hestia stared at him with pitiful eyes.
"Takatsuki-kun, do you also want to kick me out of the house? Like Hephaestus?
Ah, in Orario, after Hestia descended to the lower world, she stayed with Hephaestus for three months as a freeloader, spending every day reading at home. The result was that she was kicked out by Hephaestus, who forced her to be self-sufficient.
"No, Hestia, you're thinking too much. I was just asking to see what ideas you had."
"I want to be a freeloader!"
"…"
Can someone actually say such a thing so openly?
But actually, being a freeloader is fine, it's better than causing trouble outside. Moreover, having Hestia in the villa, no, in St. Freya Academy, not only can she serve as a mascot, but also a bug-level insurance.
Then in the evening, Theresa told everyone that Ais was about to become Kiana and their classmate, and they held a welcome party for it.
It was put off until today because it was a bit late last night.
"Takatsuki, play games with Bronya."
Takatsuki, who had finished eating, was lying on the sofa digesting his food when Bronya suddenly came over with a game controller.
"Huh? Where's Kiana?"
Because Bronya couldn't touch any games for several months in the other world, she later forcibly charged her terminal and played some small games to satisfy her craving.
"Kiana is picking fruit in the yard."
The Tree of Plenty's fruits weren't all picked today. Because the freshness of fruits decreases after being picked, all but the morning's required amount were left to be picked in the evening.
"Alright then."
Although Takatsuki wasn't very interested in the games of the Honkai Impact 3rd world, since Bronya had come looking for him.
Taking the game controller Bronya handed over, Takatsuki opened the character selection interface, and then
"Bronya, where are you sitting?"
Takatsuki looked down at Bronya, who had burrowed into his arms and was sitting on his lap while he was distracted, and asked
"This position is better. Bronya analyzed that this position allows for a better view of the screen."
Although it felt like a forced excuse, Takatsuki still didn't expose Bronya's words and said, "Is that so? Then I'll give you the spot, and I'll sit next to you."
"No!"
Bronya sat down firmly, pressing Takatsuki down: "Bronya thinks it must be fair, so you, Takatsuki, can also see the screen from the best angle
What the heck.
Bronya's excuse was obvious. He wasn't some kindhearted male lead, so he naturally noticed Bronya's unusual behavior.
However, he didn't expose her, pretending to agree with Bronya's explanation. He started playing games with Bronya like this, wanting to observe what was going on with Bronya.
Meanwhile, Kiana had already picked all the remaining fruit.
Surprisingly, she didn't just throw them down or eat them directly as before, but carefully washed them, then sliced them and placed them on a plate.
"Kiana knows how to show filial respect to her teacher now, that's really good."
Himeko, in the living room, saw Kiana's actions and said with a smile, then watched Kiana walk past her.
"?"
Kiana carried the plate and approached Takatsuki.
"Takatsuki, I just picked some fruit, do you want some?"
"???"*5
Kiana must be possessed.
"Takatsuki-kun, can you come to my room?"
At this moment, Mei also walked out of the kitchen.
"Alright, wait until I finish this round."
Quickly dying at the hands of the character Bronya was controlling, Takatsuki shoved the controller into Kiana's hand, then picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth
"Thanks, Kiana. You play with Bronya."
Moving Bronya from his lap onto the sofa, Takatsuki walked towards Mei's room
But he didn't notice that everyone else behind him was looking at him with strange eyes.
"Fu Hua, what's wrong with them? Did something happen in the other world?"
Himeko asked Fu Hua, who was sitting at the table.
"Even Kiana is trying to curry favor."
Fu Hua looked thoughtfully at Takatsuki's retreating back as he entered Mei's room, then looked at the two distracted people playing games on the sofa.
Then she replied to Himeko, "I'm not sure either."
Although she said that, in the evening, Fu Hua knocked on Takatsuki's room door
"Ah? Fu Hua, what's wrong? I'm a bit tired today."
Takatsuki looked at Fu Hua outside the door and felt a bit weary. For some reason tonight, the big three seemed to be competing for affection. Did something happen at the academy
In Mei's room tonight, Mei was also overly enthusiastic. If no one had been outside, they might have gone all the way.
"I came for this very matter. I think it's necessary to tell you the reason for this."
Fu Hua spoke directly to Takatsuki without entering the room.
