Chapter 740 Astarte
Kisuke nodded, "That\'s what I intended from the start."
Kisuke wanted to elaborate more about the training they were about to go through, however, someone special had entered the premise of their tower, "Hmm?"
With a snap of his fingers, a translucent screen appeared in front of everyone, depicting the wide lobby below from the eyes of the \'doll\' receptionist. Immediately zooming into two cloaked figures, Yoruichi became confused, "They are?"
Since those who come in similar attires are aplenty, everyone couldn\'t tell what\'s special about them. Not from a simple visual image.
"One is an acquaintance and one is a Deity." answered Kisuke. He could already guess the identity of the Deity and what they\'d come here for.
Of course, despite seeing them for the first time, most of them already knew who the Deity is because there\'s only one who would want to meet Kisuke with such timing, "Is it Astarte?" Artemis asked.
"What? Really?" Hestia became giddy.
"I\'ve never met Astarte-sama before, but the person beside the Deity is the captain of the Astarte Familia. So it\'s most probably Astarte-sama herself, but what\'s wrong?"
Artemis sighed and replied, "There\'s nothing really wrong, but she\'s the exact opposite of me. She\'s the Goddess of War and Sexual Love." With a bit of hesitation, Artemis continued with a slight blush on her face, "...And her \'love\' goes both ways."
Kuroka already guessed what\'s going on and asked while pointing to Hestia, "So she\'s like this because of her overbearing \'love\', nyaa?"
Hestia and Artemis could only look away but that was enough of an answer. With a very serious expression, Kisuke instructed, "Yoruichi. Invite them in."
With a similar expression, Yoruichi nodded and stood up, "Roger that."
"Ehem... Well then, I\'m tired so I\'ll be retiring for today. Good luck." Hestia tried to escape, but she felt someone hold her hand tightly when she was about to stand up. When she looked up, she saw Aika giving her a big grin.
Similarly, Koneko held Artemis\' hand tightly so she wouldn\'t go anywhere.
With a huge smile plastered on his face, Kisuke added, "What are you talking about, Hestia-sama? As the representatives of the Hestia and Artemis Familias, both of you have to greet her properly or it\'ll just be plain rude."
"But Kisuke-kun. You\'re a fine captain so you don\'t really need us here." Hestia said while still trying to squirm her way out with a smile.
On the other hand, Artemis had a blank expression and had already given up when she saw Kisuke make a strange smile. Unlike Hestia, she learnt fast, "Hestia, give it up. There\'s no point in arguing with him." She then pointed around them, "Look. Everyone\'s on board with his idea."
Hestia looked around and saw that everyone had strategically blocked any way of escape, in addition to Aika not letting her go. Slowly, her smile broke down, and she started shouting, "I DON\' WANNAAAA!!!"
Everyone except for Artemis was shocked at her sudden outburst but before they could do anything else, a shadow with red hair dashed through everyone and reached behind Hestia. And as if they were coiling snakes, the unknown person\'s arms wrapped around Hestia\'s body.
Alarms started going off in Hestia\'s head as she felt the familiar touch. Although before she could say anything, she heard a familiar sultry voice whispering in her right ear, "Oh my~! If it isn\'t Hestia-chan. I didn\'t expect to see you here. How wonderful~."
Astarte, a Deity that represented War and Sexual Love had a similar build as Hestia, except for her chest. The striking short red hair complimented her blood-red eyes that reflect sensuousness and gracefulness.
"A-Astarte!? When did you come here!?" She looked around but she noticed that Yoruichi and her companion hadn\'t even arrived here, "How did you find this room!?"
"HA! Of course the love between us brought us together!"
"There\'s no love between us!"
"Well, to be honest, I got a whiff of your scent the moment I arrived on this floor and followed it."
"See!?"
"But that\'s not important~!" Astarte then suddenly separated from Hestia and reappeared on top of Artemis, who was trying her best to act like an ornament, and trapped her where she was sitting, "Naturally, I didn\'t forget about you, Artemis-chan~!" Lifting her chin with her hand, Astarte continued, "I has been a while. Although there\'s something different about you right now, you\'re still as beautiful and pure as ever~!"
Artemis immediately covered her lips. Even though she had never been kissed, there are certainly attempts from the Deity in front of her in the past.
However, Astarte didn\'t even attempt to do so this time and instead, grabbed Artemis\' waist before turning back to Hestia, who was already trying to escape, and grabbed her waist too. With a Goddess in each of her arms, Astarte couldn\'t help but laugh out loud, "FUHAHAHAHA! Now I just need Athena to complete my Maiden Goddess Harem~!"
Hestia and Artemis finally couldn\'t take it and veins popped on their heads. With combined effort, they both twisted Astarte\'s arms resulting in her cry of pain. Not caring about the noise, Artemis lifted her left foot while Hestia lifted her right foot and both of them gave Astarte\'s butt a kick with all of their strength.
"UWAAHHH!!!" Astarte uncontrollably rolled towards the exit of the room and only stopped when she hit someone\'s legs. Looking up, Astarte saw the furious face of her child and immediately said, "Yo, Carys. I saw some friends and got excited... Tee-hee~?"
Even without witnessing everything, just from the fact that Astarte suddenly ran off while making a perverted expression and with the Goddesses behind the doors fuming, Carys could already guess what had happened.
Dropping on all fours, the Cow Person hurriedly asked for forgiveness, "I\'m very sorry for how she acted! You don\'t have to tell me what happened! I know full well how she acts!"
Astarte also sat up and was also about to apologize. However, she froze when she saw Hestia and Artemis grabbing a man\'s arm while glaring at her, "W-what...?"
Slowly standing up, she pointed her shaking fingers at them, "I-I can understand Hestia since she\'s naive and easy to trick."
"Oi." Hestia retorted.
"B-b-b-but Artemis!? The known man-hater!?"
"None of your business." Artemis replied.
They thought that Astarte would become disheartened, but contrary to their expectations, her eyes shone and jumped in front of Kisuke, "Teach me your ways, Master! As a bonus, I shall be yours too!"
