Zongman: Sharingan just opened, you said it was the fault of the earth

"Did I hear you right? Opening a harem!? This guy is talking about a harem, right?!"

"Hahaha! This is the hero of us adventurers!!!"

"Brothers!! Do it for this sentence!!!"

"..."

For a moment, whistles, cheers, and the clinking of glasses rang out one after another.

The enthusiastic adventurers began to raise their glasses and shouted incomprehensible slogans such as "Long live Lord Bai Yulin" and "Man's romance", and the atmosphere reached its peak.

And in this noisy atmosphere——

"Click."

A crisp cracking sound was clearly heard amid the commotion.

The water cup in the blonde girl's hand had a clear crack on it at some point.

The "flame" visible to the naked eye was burning behind Ais.

"Ai, Ai Si Tan, you... calm down!"

Loki's face changed:

"Which bastard let our Ai Si Tan drink alcohol?!"

Livilia on the side slowly put down the water cup in her hand and said quietly:

"Aisi didn't drink."

"what?"

"Someone is talking nonsense."

Bai Yulin was about to open his mouth to explain, but it was just his own nonsense to liven up the atmosphere!

Before the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt another even hotter "flame".

Slowly turn your head——

The magic power behind Lefiya seemed to materialize into "flame" and soar into the sky.

Her face was full of an "elegant" smile, with the corners of her mouth curved in a "gentle yet deadly" arc.

Bai Yulin:......

Something's wrong! There's murderous intent!

"I...I'm going out to get some fresh air."

After that, he rushed towards the door as fast as he could. Even Burt couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Outside the pub, it was already dark.

As soon as Bai Yulin stepped out of the door, he heard Liu Liang's voice:

"A harem or something... that's quite an idea."

"..."

Well! Another murderous aura, huh?

This pub is scary!

Bai Yulin scratched his head awkwardly:

"I'm just kidding, I really am kidding... Miss Liu, please don't misunderstand me."

Liu didn't say anything, but just picked up a glass of drink from behind.

That's blue flower wine.

It was the same drink that the elf girl offered Bai Yulin when they first met.

Bai Yulin was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the glass of wine, and then glanced at Liu's calm face:

"...Didn't I invite you?"

"It's your treat again."

Liu didn't respond, but just tilted his head slightly and signaled with his eyes.

Unable to refuse the elf girl's kindness, Bai Yulin had no choice but to take the wine glass:

"...Let's put it on Lord Loki's account."

When the wine takes a sip, it still has that light fragrance with a hint of fruity sweetness, almost exactly the same as I remember.

“It still tastes the same.”

He spoke softly, as if speaking to Liu, but also as if speaking to himself.

The night breeze was blowing gently, and the hustle and bustle of Orario's night was blocked off at the end of the street.

The two men just stood in front of the tavern, one on the left and one on the right, and no one spoke.

As the drink ran out, Liu broke the silence:

"……Thanks."

Bai Yulin continued with a smile:

"If you consider the Familia... the Loki Familia is actually quite good."

Liu did not answer immediately, but lowered his head in silence for a few seconds, then shook his head slightly and nodded.

"Is this a rejection or an acceptance?"

A rare arc appeared at the corner of the elf girl's mouth:

"It depends."

Bai Yulin didn't ask any further questions, but just looked at the night sky in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

On the night street, in a dim and luxurious room, the sweet aroma of incense mixed with cigarette smoke filled the nose, carrying a hint of decadence and temptation.

Under the dim light, Ishtar leaned lazily on the sofa, her long legs casually crossed.

On the bed behind her, a male human was lying on his back, his face pale, with white foam still at the corners of his mouth. He had obviously lost consciousness long ago.

The lingering scent in the air reveals how cruel this "trial" was.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

A tall, no, rather a burly woman walked in.

Although she was wearing women's clothing, her proportions were completely inconsistent with those of an ordinary person, making her appearance completely unbeautiful.

The broad face was covered with rough wrinkles, and the only thing that sparkled was a pair of aggressive eyes.

It is Fryni Jamil who is known as the man killer

"Lady Ishtar."

She spoke in a low, hoarse voice,

"Mrs. Kali has replied... She agrees to join forces with us and attack..."

Phryne stopped abruptly in the middle of her words.

Because she really didn't know how to describe this "late response".

"Humph!"

Ishtar snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Ishtar began to lay out the plan about a year ago.

She, who shared the same title of goddess of beauty as Freya, knew it very well.

If one wants to shake Freya's position in Orario, relying solely on his Ishtar family is far from enough.

So she turned her gaze to the god Kali, who was also in the distance and loved killing and fighting.

One secret letter after another, along with a large amount of magic stones and magic stones, was hidden by Ishtar among the tributes and sent to the distant southeast one after another.

The ones she sent out were all powerful Amazon warriors from the Ishtar clan.

Each messenger paid homage with the courtesy of a warrior, swore an oath in the name of his clan, and asked Kali to join him in the action.

At first, the Kali clan was full of doubts about this.

It’s not like they haven’t received similar “joint proposals”, but most of them were from weaklings trying to lure out the snake from its hole by using the name of the strong.

Ishtar's letter was naturally treated as a fake, just like the hypocritical gods who had tried to win her over.

On several occasions, letters were even thrown into the bonfire unopened.

Until one day, the messenger did not bring any letter.

What she brought was a high-level weapon.

That's equipment that would make even a LV.5 adventurer jealous.

Moreover, each tribute thereafter was greater than the previous one.

The wording in the letters became more earnest, and the envoys sent by the Ishtar clan became more powerful.

They did not come to ask for help, but in the name of warriors, they offered their will to challenge the strong.

Kali finally understood that Ishtar was not just writing letters, but was using her faith and actions to prove her obsession bit by bit.

The desire to fight a strong enemy is an instinct running in the blood of the Kali clan.

And Freya's family is undoubtedly the end point of all those "symbols of strength".

Finally, Kali agreed.

But now...

"I wrote her so many letters, inviting her to join forces with our Ishtar Familia to deal with Freya."

"And now, even though Freya's family is gone, she finally replied!"

"I really don't know what's going on in this woman's head!"

She spat on the ground, her eyes full of resentment.

In the room filled with smoke, the air pressure suddenly dropped.

But despite the scolding, Ishtar's eyes changed slightly the next moment, revealing a rare hint of fear.

She remembered the "monster" in that war game that silenced all of Orario - Bai Yulin.

That name has now become one of the most taboos in the entire Orario that cannot be mentioned casually.

Ishtar leaned on the sofa with her legs crossed. There was no longer any charm between her eyebrows and eyes, only deep vigilance and seriousness.

If we join forces with Kali's clan to launch a "raid", we might be able to steal a piece of Freya's flesh.

But now?

"Going to cause trouble for Loki's family?"

"Or... cause trouble for Bai Yulin?"

Ishtar sneered, but she felt a chill on her back.

"That's not a sneak attack, that's walking into a trap, putting your head on the edge of his knife!"

"I'm not that stupid."

She waved at Phryne somewhat displeasedly.

"Let that crazy woman go back. I don't want the things I gave her anymore. Don't come to Orario anymore."

"I'll just guard my little piece of land and enjoy the world."

Phryne lowered her head, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally spoke in a muffled voice:

"...Um, Lady Ishtar."

"The people of Kali's clan... have arrived."

"Moreover, he is neither a messenger nor a dependent."
