Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 8 Chapter 445 - The Naming Ceremony

"WHHYY???!!!!!"

"They\'re insane…" Hestia muttered as she started to get nervous for real.

"I understand all too well. I used to be just like them." Hephaestus patted her shoulder.

Hestia then looked at her with upturned eyes, "Won\'t you help me?"

But Hephaestus only shook her head, "I am but a single voice. I can\'t influence them unless I use force and you know I don\'t like doing that."

Hestia could only sigh and brace herself. She thought of asking for Loki\'s help, but she knew that she would only make things worse knowing her personality.

"Next is an Adventurer named Seti from the Set Familia," Loki announced.

"P-Please go easy on me…!" The God of Set Familia pleaded.

However, all the Gods around only had a nasty grin and shining eyes while simultaneously saying, "I refuse!"

"Nooo!!!!"

"Thus, Set\'s boy will be the Burning Fighting Fighter!"

"You bastards!!!!!"

"GAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

"Next in line is Takemikazuchi. Oh, isn\'t she a cute one~! Hmmm, she\'s from one of those Far East places, so her name is written backwards. Li\'l Yamato Mikoto-chan~!" Loki continued the \'fun.\'

"Black hair is so nice… So would havin\' some fun with a girl at this tender age, eh…?" One of the Gods muttered.

"A-are you serious…!?" Takemikazuchi couldn\'t believe that someone would make a comment like that.

"Takamikazuchi, you hopeless bastard." Another follow up from one of the Gods.

"What!?" Takemikazuchi couldn\'t help but slam the table.

However, their stream of comments continued, "Natural born Gigolo, That\'s what you are…"

"Goddesses, children, doesn\'t matter to ya, does it? Pulling \'em into your scheme just the same."

"Got a lolita complex or something!?"

But most of these comments were born from jealousy of other male Gods as someone as cute as Mikoto was rare and all of them wanted to have fun too.

"Wh-what are you talking about!?" If not for his mortal-like strength, Takemikazuchi would have already broken the stone table in front of him.

"I shall be the one to deliver a requiem for Mikoto-chan!" One of the Gods declared, "Future of the Milky Way, Fortune Galaxy!"

"Such a good girl following a hopeless God, The Fallen Saint, Last Heroine!"

"You idiots, it should be Little Angel!"

"Enough! Stop at once!" Takemikazuchi was about to cry for justice while recalling his cute Mikoto, \'Mikoto! I\'ll do whatever it takes to get you an acceptable Alias!\' Standing up, Takemikazuchi pointed at everyone, "I\'ve done my absolute best to raise and guide my little angel!"

"Little Angel?"

"That\'s it!"

Hestia couldn\'t ignore it any longer, so she finally spoke up, "Cut it out already! Také! As your friend, I swear I won\'t allow that title to be-"

However, Loki interrupted her, "Have you guys finished deciding on Yamato Mikoto-chan\'s Alias? Let\'s move on already!"

"Hey smug-faced Dionysus-kun, you\'ve been quiet for some time. Don\'t you have anything to say?" One of the Gods called out to Dionysus.

"Hmm?"

"You\'ve shown up for the first time in a while. Why don\'t you say something?"

"Let\'s see…" Dionysus then looked toward Takemikazuchi who was sending hand-signals towards him, pleading him to think of a normal Alias.

Dionysus gave him a small smile and Takemikazuchi suddenly felt elated. However, that smile soon warped to something nasty as he said, "Absolute?Shadow, how about that?"

"Dionysus you bastard!!!"

"Mikoto-chan\'s Alias shall be Absolute?Shadow. Any objection?" Loki announced.

"None!" Most of the Gods agreed.

"You monsters!!!!!"

"The next Adventurer, or rather Adventurers are from the brat\'s Familia. Make sure to take a look at their files before you decide, okay~?" Loki moved on, ignoring the bloodcurdling scream of one God.

The ignored Hestia finally started to shake, not in anger, but from fear, \'T-these guys… They\'re worse than I thought…\'

"First off, the three with the great achievement of slaying two Minotaurs while just being a level 1, Shirone Toujou, Aika Kiryuu, and Sona Sitri."

"The three of them slew two Minotaurs? That\'s indeed impressive! And most importantly, they\'re all cute!!!"

"But I heard that there\'s an even better achievement from yesterday. I heard it\'s Miach\'s child."

Miach, who was silently waiting until now, flinched at their attention.

"We\'ll go into that later, but first of all, think of names for them."

"P-please forgive these children… I beg you." Hestia knew that acting tough won\'t do her any good, so she could only plead like the other Gods.

"Koneko-chan… A white-haired cat person using white-colored flame magic? How strange… but also amusing~! Let\'s start with White Cat Nebula~!"

"What\'s this? She was also seen punching monsters? Hahaha, I\'ll go with Starforce Fist Fighter~!"

"Y-you guys…"

"Hey, hey, look at this! Apparently she also has a big sister. She\'s a black-haired cat person who was also seen wielding black flames~! Let\'s think about a theme that could match them!"

After a few more banter between each other, Loki announced the Aliases of both Koneko and Kuroka, "For Shirone-chan, it\'ll be White Flames of Dawn while Kuroka-chan will have Black Flames of Twilight~! Any objection?"

" " "None~!" " "

Hestia almost fell forward and started crying, \'These bastards… I\'m so sorry, Koneko-kun, Kuroka-kun! I failed you!\'

"Next is, Aika Kiryuu-chan! She\'s wielding a strange, giant Far Eastern sword. However, even with her weapon of choice, witnesses can only see flashes of her sword. It seems that she learned a certain style of swordsmanship!"

Hestia tried to protest to the names that they thought of, however, Aika still received the Alias, Flashy Knight Champion.

When they reached Sona, Hestia had already partially given up as her voice wasn\'t reaching anyone. And due to her magic, Sona received the Alias, Magical Girl★Azure.

Using that momentum and in a similar fashion, Medusa received \'Tiny Maid Warrior\' while Yoruichi received \'Void Shadow Stalker.\'

Everyone was having fun until they reached the last file, which contained Kisuke\'s information.

"Hmm… So this is their captain, huh. Aside from the first three, the rest who leveled up don\'t look very impressive." One of the Gods muttered.

However, only Dionysus, Hermes, and especially Freya silently disagreed.

While Dionysus only had some small doubts, Hermes already heard from his members what Yoruichi was capable of and it seemed to be that she was the mentor of the first three.

Freya, on the other hand, based her suspicion on their normal and dirty souls. She knew she couldn\'t be wrong with what she saw, but she was still questioning whether someone with a soul like that was really capable of an achievement similar to Bell. And most importantly, it was thanks to them that Bell was able to break through his limits. So in extension, her suspicion reached towards Kisuke and the rest, \'What is this feeling…? I don\'t like it. I should investigate them. However, Loki is oddly close to them… What should I do?\'

They were about to decide Kisuke\'s Alias when one of them read through his file and reached the bottom sentence, "E-every child from his Familia, is his lover…? What?"

"Huh!?" The male Gods, while having fun, suddenly froze and read through his file, "What the hell is this!?"

Their reaction was understandable as everyone from the Hestia Familia, as they saw, was cute and a beauty of their own right. And when they were told that all of them were attending to a single man, something broke inside them. They didn\'t think that they would see someone even worse than Takemikazuchi and someone who could rival the most famous playboy God, Zeus.

Thus, with the cooperation of most of the male Gods and their resentment, Kisuke received the title \'Green Crusader:Gigolo Master\'.
