Chapter 18 - 17 (2/2)

And what she sees make her become stupefied once more, because she's looking up to Issei face at close range.

Issei at this moment put her head on his lap while he's reading some books, its the lap pillow position.

When she set her eyes on his calm face while reading the book she become entranced once more.

Issei - Oh. You're awake Yunyun. You scared me back there, I thought something happened to you, thankfully you're alright.

Issei saw her awoke finally, and he gave her a smile and put down the book he's reading.

Then he proceeded to pat her head gently.

Yunyun almost fainted once more after he does all this, but she held herself back and hastily get up from the lap pillow albeit feeling reluctant in doing so.

Yunyun - U-Um! I'm fine! T-thank you for taking care of me Ise-san!

She tried to avert her face from directly looking at his face.

Yunyun - L-let's eat Ise-san!

Issei - Um. Let's eat.

Issei stand up from the sofa and headed towards the dining table once more.

Yunyun follow closely behind him while gazing at his direction with a red face, she's still out of it a little bit because her heart rapidly thumping at this moment.

Then they have an awkward dinner together, because Yunyun keep looking down with a red face while sneaking a quick peek at his direction.

Issei at first become amused but then choose to let her be for now.

Even though the food is the most delicious food Yunyun ever tasted, she can't properly react to it because she's still in her delusion.

So after she finishes her food she offered to wash the dishes without any chance for rebuttal and took all the empty plates on the table back to the kitchen.

She practically dashes towards the kitchen while bringing the dishes along with her.

Issei become stupefied at first then he just chuckled at her reaction.

After some thinking Issei realized she must have fainted because of his face, but he just couldn't help stop teasing her after she's awake for some reason.

Now he knows what Akeno feels when she's teasing him back then, not that he care anymore.

He concluded its because she's pretty naive and gullible.

And This must be the first time she saw a handsome face. Unknown to him Yunyun have seen a lot of handsome face before but none can give her this kind of reaction.

Back at Yunyun.

She washes the dishes while still having a red face, and what's on her mind at this moments are

'Uwaaaa! Ise-san face is so handsome! How can someone be that handsome! Its pretty much a crime for having that kind of face! Uuuuu~ my heart can't stop beating loudly for sometime now! Ise-san no baka!'

After that they both went to sleep but not before Issei saying ”Good night” at her, and she respond with a stutter ”G-g-good night! Ise-san!” then she hurriedly close the door to her room.

Issei just chuckled once more at her reaction.

-The next day-

Yunyun have a delusional dream where she went to marry Issei, and she keep having this goofy smile on her face while still sleeping.

Yunyun - Ehehehe~ Ise-san~, I love you too~

Issei is already awake earlier and he's doing a meditation inside his room to stabilize his 'Aura'.

He started learning to hide his 'Aura' after some thinking, because his 'Aura' can give away his location in case he want to infiltrate a certain area or when he utilize his <Stealth> skill.

After a while he stopped his meditation and head towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast for both of him and Yunyun.

Not long after he done setting up the breakfast, Yunyun came out of his room.

Issei - Good morning.

Issei gave her a greeting.

And Yunyun couldn't help blushed once more after all that but not forgetting to respond ”G-good morning, Ise-san.”

So they both started eating their breakfast, and this time Yunyun properly give Issei's food a compliment and he just respond with his usual calm smile along with ”Glad you like it” words.

Then they both head towards the guild.

-At the guild-

Issei and Yunyun went to do their perspective set of actions, Issei went to the quest bulletin while Yunyun went to resupply some of the necessities.

Even though Issei doesn't need it but he doesn't want Yunyun becoming over reliant on him, so he decided to let her do her own preparation.

Issei once more sees a weird companion request posted on the bulletin, such as

1. Looking for party member, the current party consist of a Crusader and Thief at the moment, preferably looking for a brute and violent new member, any class is fine.

2. Looking for party member, the current party consist of a Magician and a Priest, there's three member at the moment, including a top tier class. Sincerely want to save the world by having a crusade against the demon lord, even novice is welcomed. How about it? Shall we save the world together?

3. Recruiting, the team consist of a super beautiful and outstanding Arch Priest and impolite weakest class hikiNEET, wants to carries on journey of Heroes and take an exciting and warm happy risky adventure with the super beautiful and outstanding Arch Priest, that guided by the Goddess of Water herself? hurry and come join us! The condition to enter the team are only limited for a top tier class (And agrees that the Eris Cult is a Cult of the heathen).

How to say this... the first one the first part is very normal but at the end what's up with the brute and violent part?

While the second one its all very normal and all that but crusade against the demon lord? It seems a nice objective right? but this is a beginner city... Why would a beginner want to crusade against a demon lord this early on?

As for the third one... No words needed to point out the weirdness...

Only now Issei realized that this world is pretty weird for some obvious reason, first Yunyun case, and now this...

He now started doubting if this world is truly the world where Semiramis wants him to go or not.

He found out there's bunch of cult existed in this world.

But the most famous one is the Eris cult and Axis cult.

Eris cult is the national religion of the Belzerg Kingdom, people believes Goddess Eris as the one who control the fortune of this world or goes by the name Goddess of Fortune Eris.

And it also control some life and death that happens in this world, that's also why Eris cult is the most famous cult in this world even the currency is named after her which is Eris currency.

But Axis cult is famous for the opposite reason...

Namely known for their notoriety, their follower known to be having some screw loose or just plain weird in the head.

They will stop at nothing for their missionary job, from fraud to exhortation, etc.

They also always slander the Eris cult such as evil cult, heathen cult, crazy cult, etc. They will even smash the windows of Eris church and beat up the believer of Eris cult. This is also why some people thought Axist cult belong to the Demon Lord because of their notoriety.

That's also why no one willing to get involved with the Axis cult, now Issei knows what he almost got himself into back then when he just arrived at this world.

The one who told him Axis cult shall bring him salvation, and that little girl pamflet if he recall correctly it also has Axis cult symbol on it...

This cult believe in the Goddess of Water Aqua, perhaps the one who posted the third request is one of the Axis cult member?
