Aquaphina still couldn’t wrap her head around what she just witnessed. None of her sisters would believe her if she said that the progenitor had a mortal son whom he appears to love dearly and treats like a best friend.
Gracia had even warned her of their relationship, but she didn’t really take what she said to heart. She wishes she had, so she wouldn’t be in so much shock right now.
"So..uh..is there anything you want from me? Or did you just want to chat?" Kai asked.
"N-No, there is something I want from you. A favor, if you will." She didn’t know if it was right to ask for a favor now, but seeing as he was Gracia’s hero, she assumed he didn’t mind working with a goddess.
"Alright. What is it?"
"You see, the demon king of Eridani has awoken around six months ago, and he’s currently held up on an island called Gazonga. He’s made it his lair there, and he’s plotting ways to take over the continent."
"Hahaha! Gazonga? What? Do the women there have huge tits or something?"
"Yes, actually." She nodded
"Oh. Well, I’ll be adding that to the list of places to visit. Ahem."
"Right...Anyway, currently, my hero is handling some demons in the north, and he has to liberate demons in the south and east before going to the west, where Gazonga Island is."
"You want me to fight the demon king or something?"
"What? No, no, never that. I want you to help my hero become strong. He’s a bit of a softie, and he sees the good in people. I want you to toughen him up and make him into a proper hero, like yourself."
"Does he not have companions?" Kai asked
"He does, but he doesn’t listen to them all the time. And it’s not that he’s a bad listener, it’s that he thinks that he can always save someone."
"Ahh, he’s one of those people." Kai rolled his eyes.
"Yes. While it’s great to have that type of personality as a hero, he also needs to know when to be cruel. So, I’m hoping you can help him out with that."
Kai was already concocting his master plan. Would he help the hero? Sure, but in his own way. No way was he going to simply give handouts without getting something in return. If his hero is a person who sees the best in people, then what better way to see the evil in people than when he said Kai fucking his mom, sister, or lover.
"Hehehehehehehehehehehehe!" He rubbed his hands like a villain with a wicked grin on his face.
"Stop that. You look weird." Aquaphina shuddered.
"My bad. But sure, I’ll help. But, I have no interest in stopping what I already planned on doing."
"And what were you planning on doing?"
"Going around the continent, having fun, taking mercenary jobs with the intent of becoming a Diamond-ranked mercenary."
Aquaphina nodded. "You can still do all of that. You can simply meet up with my Hero along the way. Do be careful, though. The south-western part of the continent is overrun by pirates. Well, there are pirates all over the continent, but it’s the south-western part that has most of them."
"Noted. I’ll make sure to go there during my travels." There was no way Kai would pass up going through pirate territory. Hell, he was thinking about becoming a pirate who pirates pirates. He’d be a pirate pirater.
Aquaphina just palmed her face and let Kai be. She wasn’t going to tell the son of the progenitor what to do.
"Then that will be all. Thank you for hearing me out."
"Of course, no problem. But I have a question."
"What is it?"
"Can you get pregnant?" He asked
Aquaphina didn’t know if she had heard Kai correctly, but then she remembered that she was a goddess and her hearing was the best there was. So whatever she heard was exactly what Kai had asked.
"W-What kind of question is that!?" She ejected Kai from her world, sending him back down to the banquet.
He smiled. "Heh, you won’t escape me."
"Sir Kai, you’re back." The saintess bowed again.
"I am. I had a great conversation with your goddess. Here, your orb."
"Thank you, Sir Kai. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to ask us. We’ll do everything we can to make your stay on the continent as comfortable as it can be."
Kai smiled, placing a hand on the saintess’s shoulder. "Thank you for your generosity." He made sure his pleasure touch was active, and he could feel her body getting excited. "I’ll stop by the church someday. There is a ritual I performed for my goddess, and I think your goddess would appreciate it as well."
Of course, the ritual was a massive sex party, but they didn’t need to know that yet.
"We’ll be honored to have you."
"Good, good. Now enjoy the banquet! Have some fun! Eat some food!"
Kai returned to his seat and informed his girls about his conversation. They weren’t surprised since something similar had happened back at home. What shocked them was that the demon king was already awake and active, but it seemed like he wasn’t doing anything.
"I guess not all demon kings are the same," Sasha said as she drank a full cup of wine.
"I wonder what this one is like. Maybe he’s more of a pirate than a warrior." Gween remembered how Malgus was all about honor and titles.
"That does seem interesting. But I’m not in any rush to fight the demon king. I’d rather just travel for now." Kyana said.
"I agree. And that’s what we’ll do." Kai informed them.
For the rest of the party, people were staring at Kai, wondering if they should speak to him. He was a hero from a foreign land, one that they didn’t even know if it was real or not until tonight.
He was most definitely going to be the talk of the town within the next few days, and the nobles wanted to form a relationship with him right now.
Elyn, still shocked by this revelation, couldn’t help but smile at the opportunities Kai had given her. He saved her, made her stronger, joined her tower, made business look promising for her, and now, all the attention would be on her tower since she was housing a person from another land.
’I want his child.’ She thought to herself while biting her lip.
