The next day, before it was even six in the morning, Demeter opened her eyes early.
Today, she was going to go on a date with Levi—a date where the protagonists were just the two of them.
In order not to be disturbed by others, Demeter had specially made a trip to the Hestia Familia yesterday and secretly reached a 'shady' backroom deal with Hestia and Hephaestus.
It could be said that everything was now ready; all she needed was the east wind.
After washing up carefully, the orange-haired goddess sat in front of the mirror and began to manage her appearance.
She handled everything with great care. Every strand of her beautiful hair was evenly coated with conditioner, her clothes were custom-made by a high-level tailor just three days ago, and she had even sprayed a thin layer of cosmos-scented perfume on her body.
Coupled with the natural, faint blush on her cheeks, the other members of her Familia—regardless of gender—were astonished before she even walked out of the residence.
"Lady Demeter, you look so beautiful today~"
"Usually, Lady Demeter gives off an all-encompassing motherly feeling, but today there's a mix of a maiden's aura too."
"Are you two stupid? Lady Demeter is going on a date today! Of course she has to dress up a bit more beautifully."
"That's true. Damn it! That guy, the 'Hero King', clearly already has Lady Hestia and Lady Hephaestus, and now he's stretching his demonic claws towards Lady Demeter."
"Don't you usually respect Levi Bright a lot?"
"One thing is one thing. We are Lady Demeter's maiden family, so naturally, we must view the issue from Lady Demeter's side."
"True, huh~"
Listening to the children's conversation, the orange-haired goddess wore a shallow smile on the corner of her lips.
"I'll leave watching the house to you today~ And..." As she spoke, she paused slightly, the blush on her cheeks becoming increasingly bright. "You don't need to wait for me to come back tonight."
"!!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present instantly froze on the spot.
Two seconds later, countless wails rang out inside the Demeter Familia's residence villa.
"Ahhhhhhh, Levi Bright!!!!!"
"Damn it, damn it!!!!!"
"Although it's not like I don't understand Lady Demeter's feelings, isn't the development of your relationship a bit too fast? Romance stories clearly aren't written like this; you have to do this first, then that, and finally that..."
Demeter twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.
She actually felt that the progress with Levi was a bit too slow. If not for the latter's insistence, she would have already devoured him completely more than two weeks ago.
Having dragged it out until now, to be honest, Demeter felt it was somewhat embarrassing for a goddess.
However, fortunately, after today, she would finally be able to eat meat too.
When that time comes, in this small group of Olympia, hum hum hum~ only Artemis and Astrea will remain as the two virgin goddesses~
No, given Artemis's personality of chasing after a target once she's decided on it, it probably won't take too long for her either.
In other words, will only Astrea be left?
How about dragging her in as well?
Thoughts swirled in Demeter's mind, while a gentle smile remained on her face.
As the largest supplier of agricultural products in Orario, the Demeter Familia naturally did not lack money. It was precisely because of this that, more than half a month ago, she had moved her residence to the side of the Hestia Familia's residence.
Now, stepping out and turning a corner, she could reach her destination in probably less than three minutes.
However, when the orange-haired goddess arrived on the street, she didn't even need to turn her head to scan the surroundings. Not far ahead, the figure of a young man with short pale-gold hair came into her view.
Levi had obviously discovered Demeter's arrival as well. He raised his arm and waved twice in the goddess's direction, then jogged over to her.
"Demeter, good morning."
Demeter was stunned for a moment, subconsciously answering "Good morning," before reacting: "Have you been here long?"
Levi smiled and shook his head: "No, I just arrived too."
This was a lie. Demeter undoubtedly saw through it, but precisely because of this, her heart felt even sweeter.
She immediately stepped forward, raising both hands to loop around the arm of the person beside her, while resting her head on his shoulder.
"Then, let's start our date for today~"
"Okay."
...
This was not Levi's first time dating a goddess.
During the Monsterphilia, he had gone out to play with Hestia and Hephaestus. After growing into a Demigod, he would also set aside one or two days every week, either to soak in the library with Hestia or to accompany Hephaestus in forging equipment.
Although the date partner had now changed to Demeter, to be honest, Levi did not feel much of a difference.
On the other hand, Demeter's mood was obviously somewhat uplifted.
While walking on the road, she couldn't help but hum a few lines of a song softly.
On both sides of the street, seeing the 'Hero King' and Demeter walking together with such intimate behavior, the ordinary people and adventurers were obviously somewhat surprised. They knew about the lover relationship between Levi Bright, Hestia, and Hephaestus.
But now, this Uncrowned King of Orario had stretched his demonic hand towards Goddess Demeter.
How could this not make men envious and women jealous?
Conversely, those deities, especially the Patron Gods of medium and large Familias, had already realized that the relationship between these two might be unusual when Levi first connected with them through Demeter's network.
Now, it merely thoroughly confirmed their speculations.
As for saying that the 'Hero King' was unworthy of forming bonds with three goddesses—let alone now that Levi had already obtained the status of a Demigod, even in the past when he hadn't yet grown up, the gods wouldn't have cared at all.
Instead, they would feel it was an amusing anecdote.
Seeing the two walking together at this moment, those with good relations to their Familias would step forward to say hello and offer a blessing. Those with more general relations would also nod from a distance.
For a time, the matter of Levi and Demeter dating actually received recognition from quite a few people.
Of course, not all deities accepted the fact that Levi and Demeter had become lovers.
Just as the two walked into the Colosseum where the Sword Festival Faction War was about to be held, before they could even find a place to sit, Freya and Ishtar—two Goddesses of Beauty who were quite at odds in the anime from his past life—approached Levi together.
"'Hero King', first time meeting. I am Freya."
The gray-haired goddess opened her mouth with a smile, her tone gentle.
But if one observed carefully, they would discover that her expression at this moment carried a trace of inexplicable fanaticism.
Compared to Freya, Ishtar's emotions were obviously much more stable.
But in the next second, Levi realized his judgment was wrong.
"Levi Bright, you are quite good. I allow you to become my husband."
"Ha?"
