My Upgrades Are Invincible - Chapter 127

Hestia left to send out dinner invitations with Nerine who she had taken under her wing and was plainly obvious that Hestia was treating Nerine as a warmup to help raise Freya’s coming child and then, her own in time once I supposedly settled down.

Yeah… I have zero plans on settling down and stagnating as even if the dungeon becomes too annoying to get to the deep floors, there is always worlds where plentiful slaughter is available that will benefit the people living there, like RWBY, Konosuba, and many other worlds infested with monsters that I can take advantage of my quest skill to get hundreds of stat points within a few days.

After Hestia left, I decided to go hang out with the girls as Bell was off doing his own thing with Eina and dancing around Misha who found it hilarious to flirt with Bell to rile up Eina.

“So, you got another teleporter set up past those water floors?” Lili asked with a raised eyebrow, The pallum wore a wry smile as she shook her head. “I hope we don’t need to hack off a chunk of flesh to use this one as well…” She muttered.

“No, this one takes a good number of monster stones for each use.” I explained.

Lili just deadpanned. “Taking our monster stones is taking a chunk of our flesh and worse its every time we use it!”

I just shrugged not being able to argue with the Pallum.

“Well different options are good.” Haruhime said attempting to come to my rescue, but the miser Lili began bullying her saying how this was why she had to carry the money pouches when they went for groceries and stuff because Haruhime had no idea the value between products.

Haruhime’s blanked out as she basically started tuning out the lecturing pallum who was going on and on about how the value between a loaf of bread and a slice of cake and how the loaf of bread could feed a person for so much longer than just a single slice of cake.

Haruhime had reached a Zen stage of enlightenment as she pushed her consciousness into her tails and with a light stretch as she blandly nodded to the strict pallum she deposited her tails into my lap and dropped a brush into my lap in the same motion.

I just concealed my smile at the duos antics as Haruhime kept nodding blankly to Lili as I gently ran my brush through the literal pile of fluff with their literally being nine large fluffy tails on my lap.

“Hey Haruhime you always sleep on your side, right?” I asked thinking of the fox girls body proportions and how she always claimed an arm of mine to sleep on her side and use as a pillow.

Lili pouted at being ignored but I patted her head and pulled her in wrapping my arm around her side and cupping her hip.

“Yes Jake, I have to sleep on my sides as my tail will get hurt if I sleep on my back and if I sleep on my front then it will hurt my breasts. Haruhime explained sighing in contentment as the brush was pulled through the soft fur of her tail.

“I should do this more often…” I said softly and then kissed Lili on her head to make sure she knew I was including spending more time with her as well.

“Yes, you should!” Lili and Haruhime said in unison, making me chuckle.

I spent a good half an hour talking and just generally being affectionate between the two, but I wanted to see how Ryuu was doing lately as well as meet her goddess who was going to be staying here in one of the side houses attached to the church.

–

After knocking on the door leading into the apartment Astrea and Ryuu claimed I could hear Ryuu faintly calling me to come in.

“Ryuu, it’s me is it alright if I come in?” I called as I came through the door as literally other than the people from demon slayer who claimed the apartments on the complete other side of the church, Bell was the only guy who could be knocking on the door out of the dozen plus women who may instead knock.

“One second Jake!” Ryuu called out and then the blond elf walked around the corner wearing her usual bloomer and tight white shirt that hugged her curves adventurer clothes.

“Did you need something?” She asked me and although her tone was brusque or rude it did seem like I caught her at a bad time.

“We got a dinner party planned for tonight and I wanted to personally give you and your goddess a heads up and check up on you seeing as I haven’t talked to you since I got back from my trip.” I explained and Ryuu nodded lightly.

“Lady Astrea is currently putting away her clothes and other effects so please forgive her for not coming to meet you.” Ryuu said with a light smile, and I could only shrug at the bad timing.

“Alright but make sure she comes to the dinner party tonight, Ryuu, otherwise everyone is going to call her a NEET or something?” I said louder than usual.

“I am not a Neet like those stupid gods!” I heard faintly Astrea faintly yell from the other room and Ryuu’s face twitched at our little interaction.

“There you have it… We will be there don’t worry Jake.’ Ryuu said rolling her eyes.
