The same night inside the [Stardust Garden].
"You want me to accept?"
"Yes!" I want to know more about Alise-san!"
Our captain is the first one I approached. For what purpose you say? Of course its none other than the [Grimoire of the Hearth] I received from Zeus last night!
Yes. I used my eye to appraised this book to know its real purpose, yet I can't see through it!
The eye that I used everytime, almost everytime and everyday.
The time I always check my familia before their exploration. If there's a shadow figure lingers in any of them, it means they will find trouble. Worst, they might die. I missed their departure the last time, but in the end, all is well as they returned back unharmed.
There's this one time that I used on Hephaestus-sama to double check her name as it is very hard to memorize.
The time I used to check if Ryu-san is serious if she'll tell Kami-sama about that H-books. In the end, she still said it.
Though secret, I always using it almost everytime.
And with this very eye, why ---even though I don't know until now--- Astraea-sama is so fond of me.
But. . .
[Failed to Appraise!]
I failed to check this Grimoire no matter what I did. It only says [Grimoire of the Hearth] as its name and nothing more.
Then if my eye itself couldn't appraise it, isn't it valuable? Why would that perverted old man gave this valuable thing to me?
I don't know. But well, in the end, I don't have a choice, after all, he reminded me to only use it on one gender and it happens that the only girl that I closed with is my current familia member.
I already tried on using it on Astraea-sama but her data wouldn't save even after accepting. Maybe because she's a diety. So I decided, I will use two for my familia and one for Eina-san. At first I'm afraid on using it but by thickening my face for once won't hurt, so yes, In the end I decided to do this!
The [Grimoire of the Hearth] stated that it save things about the person I only understand, so unless I crawl too deep into their valuable secrets, the book don't saved any of it.
After explaining things, Alise-san immediately nodded. Maybe she's happy as this is the first time I ask for a favor. Yeah, she agreed. Other than that time I used them like a slave of course, is different.
[Alise Lovell Accepted the [Grimoire of Hearth]]
[It is now easier to understand Alise Lovell]
[Understanding to Alise Lovell increase to 5%]
[You completely understand Alise Lovell's stature, physique and body measurement!]
[Understanding to Alise Lovell increase to 3.5%]
"Ayayayaya!" I started to panic as multiple notification popped up in front of me and my understanding to Alise-san, shoots up. Although its only 8.5% in total. Ahh, who would have thought that woman is to be this complicated? the book understand her physically but all of it is only 8.5%? Wow. But still. . .
B-body measurements??? I-I can't help but trembled. One of the most important physical asset of a woman is their body measurements! And I understand them!? This book, are you making fun of me, huh!?
After that, I looked inside the book and yes. Alise-san's body measurements has been saved here! Even her height, weight, how long is her tights, her race and even her age! Through stereoscopic, her 3D image could be seen now once I fold the book open.
"Whoa, amazing!"
As curious as she would. Alise-san moved to my side and take a look and astonishment exited out from her lips. Her crimson hair enters my peripheral and its scent enters my nostril. Ahh, refreshing! Her shoulder and mine glued together, I don't know but does she always this lovely?
I know our captain is a strong, fine and beautiful woman, that, no one can argue. But this time, she seemed different. Her cleavage is peeking from that v-cut lining shirt she's wearing.
I didn't know when but while thinking adrift, she looked at me whose beating in red! I'm sure she read what's inside that book! Our face is only few centimeters away. She is asking questions but I heard nothing. . .nothing but only my heartbeat, pumping, beating and racing! only staring at that gleaming emerald eye of hers, Ahh. . .
I want to kiss that beautiful red lips of her! But my happiness was cut off when Astraea sama's shadow entered my vision.
"Ara ara ara? Is that how it works?" She leaned her body forward, looking at me and Alise-san. Not even looking at the book and that piercing glared is only the intent towards me. Her face is. . scary!
Afraid what happens next, I pull my body away from Alise-san and answers Kami-sama:
"Yes goddess!" twitching, I can't help but force my smile. But Astraea-sama is looked angry! Ahh, don't worry! I'm yours! Is what I wanted to convey.
"!!"
Successively, alert entered my head and immediately stands up. Mine and Astraea's face, leveled but this is not the good time to have the sweet talk. I don't want her anger to lasts and only hug her back for quite a while.
"We have a 'few' guests, a hostile at that" cold sweat drop whilst looking at Astraea-sama. Indicating that we'll continue this affection later.
Those who heard my word, tilt their head but Alise, Lyra, Kaguya and Ryu changed their mood. I guess they felt the same hostility coming from the outside. Alise command others to equip their weapons as she slightly open the front door.
Because houses isn't that far from our [Stardust Garden], we could clearly see many people standing at the opposite side of the road wearing black cowl. Some gathers above roofs, and even at this late at night, I can perfectly see their silhouette illuminated by the moonlight. There's only one man left standing at the other side of our gate, has an ear of a cat and is glaring at us menacingly.
●○●○●○
"What do you want, Rudra Familia?" Astraea questioned.
Although as strong as Astraea Familia, Rudra familia believed that showing off how their powerhouses and their count, intimidating us by standing at the roof of every houses is enough to instill fear to any normal people.
The cat people, Jura Halmer has a whip under his waist and shout aloud: "Give us your elf called the Gale Wind! We have some scores so settle!"
"I am responsible for bearing my child's sin even if unreasonable! who are you to come here uninvited!? thinking to give my child to you! At least, drag your deity here for us to have an equal standings!"
Astraea's anger echoed. Not much of an intimidation but Rudra familia gulped their own saliva after hearing the word. Even weaker than Astraea familia in terms of quality of adventurers, they have a thing or two to take the advantage if Asteaea familia try to fight them tonight
She is angry, who would not? When someone wanted to kidnap your child in front of your face but asks for your permission first? Isn't this stupid? The kidnappers, on the other hand, has their head alright? Did they think we're pushover? Thinking so, Astraea-sama gritted her teeth. she really is angry to the core!
