Trying to understand Hestia's outrage, I just sighed and said nothing else, but she kept at my side, hitting me and asking questions, trying to find out who was in my room.
'Should I just tell her?'
No... If I tell her, I'm screwed. I can't let her know that I also slept with Loki—she'd definitely kill me if she found out. But what do I do in this situation? I can't lie to her.
Should I just teleport away and come back later?
That's when Hestia said:
"That girl… Ais… She's downstairs looking for you."
"Ais is here? Since when?"
"She arrived a little while ago."
"All right, I'll go down and talk to her now." I tried to leave, but Hestia grabbed my hand.
"But before you go, you have to tell me who was here. Was it Ishtar?" Hestia looked at me seriously. Since I couldn't lie to her, I just stayed silent and acted like she had found out something she shouldn't have.
My acting was perfect, because she believed it.
"I knew it! Why did you bring that bitch here? Huh? Missed her, did you?"
"All right, Hestia, that's enough. You're overreacting."
"I'm not overreacting at all! How could you bring a woman like that into our home? Have you lost your mind?"
I started to feel a bit uncomfortable with the way she was talking, but I held myself back from saying anything. I'm sure there's a reason behind this. Hestia wasn't like this when I first came to this world.
Did she fall in love with me too deeply? Is that it?
'Or maybe…'
I looked at Hestia's belly, which had grown a little.
"Maybe it's because of that?"
"Hm? What is it?"
"It's nothing. I'm going now." I walked past her to leave the room.
"Wait a second!" Hestia tried to reach me, but I teleported downstairs. Since I teleported into the living room, I ended up face to face with Ais, who was sitting on the couch waiting for me.
Not just her—Tiona was there too.
Then Lili entered the room carrying a tray of drinks.
"You finally came down. Were you asleep or something?"
"Yes, I was sleeping." I laughed a little.
But then—
"Luan!" Hestia came running down the stairs.
If I'm not careful, Ais will find out someone was in my room. She already knows I have a lot of women around me, but that could still cause some tension between us.
'And this conversation is really important.'
I need to handle this quickly.
If that pregnancy really is making Hestia act this way, I have to accelerate it. I can't take this anymore.

Ais's POV
'When I came here earlier, there was no one here… Maybe Luan's home now?' I thought to myself as I looked at the gate of the Hestia Familia's mansion. I stayed there quietly for a while.
Then, someone appeared.
"Ais?" It was Tiona.
"Tiona? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"The same as you. I came to talk to Luan." She smiled as she said that. When I heard her words, my heart skipped a beat. She's here to join him.
Just like me. I had the same thought.
"Are you really going to do it?" I asked, looking at her seriously.
"What? Confess to him?" Tiona gave a mischievous smile. "You were planning to do that too, weren't you?"
"That's…" I didn't know what to say.
She already knows the truth—do I even need to say anything?
"You don't have to say anything." Tiona walked closer and grabbed the bars of the gate. "Have you called his name yet?" she asked.
"No," I replied coldly.
"Then I'll do it."
A second after saying that, Tiona shouted his name loudly. She called out for Luan. But after a while, the one who came out of the house wasn't Luan—it was Lili, holding a cup that seemed to be full.
When she saw us, she looked confused.
As she approached, she asked, "What happened? Did you have an appointment with Luan?" She took a sip from her drink, which looked like tea.
"Yes, we need to talk to him. Is he home?"
"Yes, he is. I'll go call him."
Lili opened the gate and let us in. Then she handed me her cup and ran inside the house to fetch Luan. A few seconds later, she came back and said, "Luan went up to his room a while ago. Hestia went to get him. You can come in and sit."
"All right, thank you," I replied, feeling rather embarrassed.
I didn't know Lili would be home.
And not just her—when I came in, I also saw Mikoto.
However, as soon as she saw us, Mikoto just greeted us and left the room.
I sat down on the couch, and Tiona sat next to me. Then she nudged me and asked, "Are you really going to do it? I don't know if I have the courage to say it in front of the others… Hestia's here too."
"I'll try to convince him to have dinner with me tonight," I said.
"And me? Can I come too?"
"Well…" After thinking for a moment, I said, "You can come."
"Great! I'll help you convince him!"

Luan's POV
Hestia kept tormenting me, so I asked Ais and Tiona to wait a bit and took her to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Lili and Mikoto were sitting and eating.
"What happened?" Lili asked when she heard Hestia yelling.
"Luan had someone in his room! I want to know who it was! He implied that it was Ishtar who was in his room, but now I believe that's not true! Who was it!?"
Are you serious? ...
"Someone was in your room?" Lili asked. "You naughty boy~~"
"Yes, that's right. But listen, Hestia—why don't we talk about this later? You're seriously overreacting. I need to talk to those two." I pointed toward the living room.
"No! I want to know!"
Huff~~
I let out a long sigh.
"I was with Loki, all right? With Loki! Happy now?"
I couldn't stand her nagging anymore, so I told her.
"Ara? ~~" Lili looked surprised.
Mikoto also seemed unable to believe what she had just heard.
And Hestia… she fainted right then and there.
I sighed and said, "Take care of her, I'm going to talk to Ais and Tiona."
I just hope the two of them didn't hear that. They both have really good hearing.
But since the house is huge, I think it's fine.
