Chapter 283: What are “Heavyweight” Contenders!?(Please Subscribe!)

After bumping into Hiel on the street, Beier followed her advice and brought the unconscious Hephaestus to The Bountiful Mistress tavern. She specially arranged an empty room in the tavern for the Goddess to rest temporarily.

Izay had no particular plans next, so he just tagged along for the fun of it.

Not to hang out with the two girls, Izay’s purpose was to check out the cute girls.

By this time, the commotion that happened at the Monster Festival had gradually subsided.

It was heard that thanks to the quick responses from Ganesha Familial Group and the Guild among other organizations, the damages were kept to a minimum. There were no fatalities or injuries.

Some people didn’t even know about the incident and happily spent their day.

On the way, Izay also met Loki, who for some reason was all alone and was now urgently heading towards the arena.

She said that after Ais and the others dealt with the monsters, they returned to the Circular Arena where the Monster Festival was held with the guild staff earlier.

Because they needed to cooperate with the investigation of the situation… Of course, the rewards for the assistants wouldn’t be lacking either.

The Monster Festival would continue as usual, and they might stay there to watch performances or go shopping.

In comparison, things were much more peaceful on Izay’s side.

Since today was the festival, The Bountiful Mistress tavern was open all day from morning till night.

Many people who got tired from celebrating would choose to come here to rest, ordering a glass of fruit wine or ale, chatting with friends or admiring the cute girl waitresses.

Then when their cups were unknowingly emptied, they’d be mercilessly kicked out by the catgirls, leaving with smiles on their faces, saying they’d definitely come again.

This couldn’t help but make Izay suspect if these people had some strange fetishes.

Though everyone has their own preferences, but at least… Or maybe not…

While thinking about this in his heart, his eyes were constantly glued to several waitresses inside the tavern.

Or rather, appreciating them.

Men always have a tendency to look at pretty women, it’s instinctive and can’t be changed, something imprinted in DNA.

And since Izay was familiar with the place, he acted somewhat recklessly.

Aniya, the clumsy catgirl, didn’t care about Izay’s gaze when she jumped around, treating him like air.

The clumsy catgirl had learned her lesson and realized through experience – never to pick a fight with Izay voluntarily because she’d always end up losing.

Lunowa, whenever Izay looked at her, she always responded with a gentle smile, perfectly poised.

As for Kuroi… Now that’s a heavyweight!

“Izay? Why are you staring at my tail? Do you want to touch it?” meowed Kuroi.

“It’s just human nature to catch things moving across one’s vision. Stop wagging your tail, and I won’t look.”

“Meow~ If you want to touch, it’s not impossible~ But this is a sensitive spot for cats! So in exchange, you have to let me touch your sensitive spot too!!”

Completely missing his point, Kuroi hopped onto Izay’s table, showing an expectant expression.

“That…”

“Actually, cats understand the male desire to protect sensitive spots~ So if you’re embarrassed, I can compromise! At least let me pat your butt!!”

Look at that.

What are heavyweight contenders?! (Tactical Lean Back.jpg)

This is a lecherous cat!

“—Stay away from Izay! Kuroi, no sexual harassment allowed!”

Like a flash of sword light, a wooden tray was swung down with astonishing speed between the two.

“Meow! Ryu, are you trying to kill someone?!”

Feeling threatened, Kuroi quickly jumped back, her tail fur standing on end.

Looking slightly away, one could see the cool elf girl giving off a very dangerous (aimed at Kuroi) sharp gaze.

“There are still desserts in the kitchen that need to be served, Kuroi~ Don’t slack off!”

“…Alright, alright~”

After a brief moment of eye contact, Kuroi sheepishly averted her gaze, bringing her tail to the front and smoothing it with her hand.

Why so aggressive? The catgirl muttered such words under her breath and then slinked towards the kitchen.

At this moment, Ryu cast a glance at Izay filled with slight resentment.

The latter coughed once, “That, Ryu, you know, Kuroi is just like that, we’re just playing around~”

Saying that, Izay flashed a sincere smile.

“I know… But Izay, you still need to be careful. Kuroi is the type who can turn jokes into reality.”

Ryu didn’t doubt this.

If you really take what that catgirl says jokingly seriously, you might end up being tricked into bed.

Ryu was worried about such matters.

“Hmm, I know.”

Nodding lightly to show understanding.

There’s no denying that what Ryu said was correct.

Izay also somewhat understood this, but he wasn’t worried about it happening.

Come on, who is he, Izay? How could he possibly be deceived into bed by a cat?

Even if deceived, it would be him deceiving her!

Just like a conman getting conned by the target.

Counterattack, you know? There’s a gap in intelligence, right?

Thus, the two caught the same event and developed different views in two separate aspects, leading to a conversation that fizzled out.

A little while later.

“That… Izay…”

“What is it?”

“Can you stop staring at me… It makes me feel awkward.”

After staying here for a bit, Ryu lost in the stare-off with Izay and started fidgeting nervously.

“This…” Izay was momentarily stunned.

Is she shy?

Izay inexplicably felt a tinge of cuteness!

An elf who appears aloof but is extremely pure-hearted, Ryu’s kind of character in a manga would undoubtedly claim the top spot as the main female lead!

The audience loves this!

Only being coy in front of you… Mom, she’s teasing me!

“Boom—!”

Suddenly.

Mom didn’t respond to Izay, instead, it was Mija, the robust female dwarf.

Izay’s seat was close to the counter, and Mija had heard the commotion over here.

“Boy, even though you’re a regular customer, no consumption means no flirting with my staff, right? There’s no such good thing in the world!”

Mija slammed a cup of honey wine on the counter, looking at Izay with ill intent.

Izay tilted his head slightly, “So, does that mean if I consume, I can flirt freely?”

His gaze also turned mischievous as he looked at Ryu, causing the elf girl to timidly step back.
