Chapter 162: Eromancer
[Alise's POV]
Alise had heard the rumors of Apollo chasing a blue-haired kid through the villages. Only a few days later, an identical boy named Hyakinthos joined their Familia and rose to level 2 in a year. His nickname 'Phoebus Apollo' served as proof of his relationship with the god.
She couldn't bear to let the cute couple fall like that.
Astraea sipped on the lukewarm tea. "There is one other option left to save them."
"What's that, Astraea-sama?" Alise asked.
"Letting them join a stronger Familia…"
"What about ours?"
Astraea shook her head. "I didn't expect it would turn out this way, but our Familia is now a female-only Familia for months. Many children will disagree on adding a male at this moment."
The way every female acted freely at Stardust Garden, their home. Kaguya, for one, roamed the entire manor while wearing only underwear and a bra. A male's presence will force every woman to adjust to a new lifestyle.
"The least we can do is find him another Familia capable of shielding him from Apollo's wrath."
"That's where you are wrong. Do you think any Familia will risk endangering their relationship with Apollo for two level 1 adventurers?"
Alise rested her head in her arms. Despite being level 5, a first-class adventurer, she found there wasn't much she could do now other than clashing head-on against the Apollo Familia. However, that wasn't possible for the Familia Captain. Everything she'd do will impact her goddess's reputation and the lives of every Familia member.
The Evilus incident had long sprouted a doubt inside her—the price of justice. As every sinner paid for their crimes, every hero paid an equal price for delivering justice to evil.
"Alise, what's on your mind?"
Alise masked her thoughts with a cheerful smile. "Nothing, Astraea-sama."

[Asahi POV]
"Was it okay to deny their help?" Nao asked as soon as I walked out.
"They also have to look after their Familia. Even their Familia has to abide by the rules set up by the Guild ruled by Ouranos."
"I can understand it," Grayfia added. "Our devil clans also work this way. Not every devil is evil; there are kinder ones too. So when a well above clan such as Lucifer bullies their friend, they have to face the harsh reality and keep their head out of trouble. No matter how deep their friendship is, the blood ties with family always win."
"Not every time," I groaned and shook my head. My blood siblings were the most horrible beings to walk on the planet.
"Sorry for the misinformation," Grayfia quickly apologized. "I hope Mistress Nao understood what I wanted to convey."
"I do. Anyway, why is that god aiming for Asahi-kun?"
"I dunno. Maybe he finds me too charming."
Nao suddenly grabbed my arm to halt me. Her teary eyes looked like she'd cry at any moment. "T-That won't do! Asahi-kun can't love men."
She got anxious over me leaving her for some dude. Like hell it'll ever happen.
"Calm down. I'm not changing my preference."
She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. The thought of Asahi-kun running away with a charming man almost stopped my heart."
"I'm sticking with you this whole life, whether you want or not."
"Same."
"My Lord, please consider the single men on this street and don't flirt openly. By the way, don't take it to heart. This is but a maid's suggestion."
Grayfia's teasing tone and her grin full of mischief made me doubt my eyes. Feeling my stare, she averted her gaze and coughed.
"My Lord."
"Sorry. You're just too beautiful."
Rini pinched my sleeve and tugged lightly. "Onii-san, am I beautiful?"
"Of course, my Rini is the perfect example of cute and beautiful."
She smiled softly. "That makes me happy."
"Let's dive into the dungeon."
The avatar and Eromancer awaited me! I should bring Aimi here too. Her devotion to earning KP was second to none. Once she decides on something, even Klyscha won't be able to stop the crazy bodyguard.
Pondering over my plans, I entered the dungeon. Misha greeted us with a sincere smile, even giving us a map of the first ten floors free of cost.
She came off quite suspicious for buttering me up.
Grayfia and Rini also registered as an adventurer. I let out a sigh. The maid was doing so much for me while I hadn't done anything for her. I'd have no question if she became dissatisfied with me.
'Klyscha, keep Nao and Rini on the XP distribution list and remove everyone. Add them back once I'm level 25. Grayfia too.'
(Alright, done!)
It'll speed up the process. Removing Rini and Nao would be foolish as they were getting more efficient in monster hunting.
Inside the dungeon, I used the spells to wipe out the monsters swiftly.
On the 2nd floor, Rini walked in front, holding a magic stone.
"You can do it at home too."
Rini shook her head. "I can't be a good maid if I don't serve at Onii-san's side."
Grayfia turned her head and stared at the wall as if something would jump out of it. My maid's teaching might make a devoted yandere out of my imouto.
"I didn't say that you can't devour it by my side."
"Okay… Onii-san, can I ask for pats later?"
"Whenever you want."
The girls became addicted to headpats while I became addicted to their blissful smile.
The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth—each floor was easy, but we had to do it to keep our cover, which I doubt won't last long at this rate.
On the tenth floor, I checked my new status.

Klyscha's Blessing
Special Skill
...
Klyscha distributed in a pleasing style. Despite not leveling up, I still gained a few points of stats by overexerting myself in the dungeon.
So close.
I held the daggers and dashed into the cave. The imps blocking my way were burned to ashes, the ogres were bisected, any monster got slaughtered. A ding chimed in my head, filling me with ecstasy.
[You have leveled up!]
[You can choose a new class.]
—Monster Tamer
—Eromancer
—Undead Hunter
—Monster Hunter
A new class popped out of nowhere. Still, I chose Eromancer without hesitation.
Something inside me boiled, heating my heart. The girls stepped back.
"Asahi-kun! Why are you getting hot—"
I waved my hand to dismiss Nao's concern and shut my eyes. The heat rushed up for a second and then swirled around my crotch area. I felt like it changed my cock; my feeling might be wrong. The heat then disappeared through the legs.
A bunch of notifications popped up at once. I squinted and turned around. The dungeon seemed calm, but something told me of an incoming presence.
"Someone's coming," Grayfia confirmed my doubt. "One, two… it's a group of adventurers."
