Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"What! Give me back my poor and stingy self? You don't even know where your poor and stingy side lies!"

Hestia's eyes immediately lit up with a smile as she stared at a certain part of the woman with squinting eyes and crimson hair.

"You little brat!!!!"

"Flat-chested goddess!!!!"

With a fierce shout, their foreheads collided heavily, producing a pleasant sound.

"You flat-chested goddess! Don't underestimate me! I will definitely find my own clan!"

"Ha! You little brat, what are you yelling about? You think I won't buy your stall and make you wash dishes for me for a hundred years?!"

Seeing that the two were arguing endlessly, Hephaestus quickly grabbed Hestia's arms and dragged her backward.

On the other side, a stunningly beautiful woman with long white hair and purple eyes also pulled the woman with crimson hair backward.

During the pulling and tugging, the two acted like children, constantly punching and kicking at the air.

"Seriously, my beautiful day ended the moment I met Loki!"

Hestia straightened her clothes and complained with a disgruntled expression.

"But judging from your relationship with her, isn't it pretty good?"

Hephaestus, however, did not think so.

"Which eye of yours saw me getting along well with that flat-chested goddess! We almost got into a fight!"

Hestia looked at Loki, who was talking to the stunningly beautiful woman in the distance, with a look of disgust.

And coincidentally, she also looked over, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Then——

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Hestia's expression grew even more disgusted, and she turned her head away to indicate that such a thing simply did not exist.

Loki had the same expression on the other side.

"But Loki is right about one thing: when have you ever stopped coming here to freeload off me?"

"No! Without you, how am I supposed to survive in this dark and hopeless Orario? The money I earn from part-time jobs isn't even enough to fill my stomach!"

Upon hearing Hephaestus's words, Hestia's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she clutched Hephaestus's clothes, wiping them away repeatedly.

Under Hephaestus's disdainful gaze, he kept telling her about his suffering!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the sound of knocking, the noisy venue suddenly fell silent.

This is an open-air venue built on the top floor of the Tower of Babel, and it is also the place in the entire Orario that is closest to the sky. The entire venue is surrounded by rows of white columns.

All the gods were seated here, like in an arena, with a circular open space at the very center of the venue.

"I believe that Shirou Emiya should be punished by the gods immediately! He should be imprisoned!"

This meeting was initiated by Apollo to judge Shirou Emiya for his actions!

Although generally speaking, the meeting is held once every three months.

But for these gods who have nothing to do every day, they can come here to hold meetings every day.

Back when they were in the Celestial Realm, they spent most of their time in meetings.

So when Apollo issued a decree to all the gods to bring judgment upon Shirou Emiya.

These deities arrived at the venue almost instantly.

Of course, a considerable number of the gods had foreseen this event.

Originally, Apollo did not need to hold this divine assembly to judge Shirou Emiya.

While there are few adventurers who break taboos in Orario, they are not nonexistent.

Although gods cannot explore dungeons and don't have many things to do every day, it doesn't mean they are willing to judge prisoners every day.

They couldn't possibly discuss it before arresting the suspect.

In that case, those prisoners would probably have left Orario long ago.

Under normal circumstances, these are things that the guild should do.

The guild issues a punishment for the crime, then sends the list to each clan, and members of other clans then carry out the arrest.

However, Apollo sat angrily in his clan's camp, waiting for the guild's wanted poster.

The guild acted as if they had no idea what had happened last night.

Instead of receiving Shirou Emiya's arrest warrant, he received a fine from his own clan.

So Apollo, clutching his right cheek where the fist mark had not yet faded, led his kin and charged menacingly toward the guild.

After all, the Apollo Familia was quite wealthy. With the expenditure of a large sum of money on healing potions and the hiring of healers, the members of the Familia had basically recovered.

Emiya Shirou only inflicted physical pain on them, without causing them any further serious harm.

However, when Apollo angrily questioned the guild, the guild's response almost made him faint from the shock.

justifiable defense!!!!

Apollo, standing in the very center of the hall, was filled with rage.

He couldn't wait to punish Emiya Shirou.

Even if Shirou Emiya died ten thousand times, he wouldn't be able to quell his anger by punching his own beautiful face.

If it weren't for the fact that using divine power would immediately send him back to the heavens, he would have loved to burn Shirou Emiya to ashes with flames.

However, at the very moment Apollo finished speaking, a slightly sarcastic voice came from above.

"veto!"

Loki raised his hand with a slight smile, squinted his eyes, and loudly objected to Apollo's suggestion.

"veto!"

"veto!"

As soon as Loki spoke, the gods quickly echoed his opinion.

It's more likely that, even if Loki wasn't the first to speak up, they were already planning to reject Apollo's proposal.

They are neutral on this matter.

Chapter 454 Threat to the Gods

"what!"

Apollo looked around in disbelief at the gods who had rejected his proposal.

Do you even know what he did?!

Apollo, standing in the middle of the hall, raised his voice at this moment, his anger overflowing.

"Come on, you don't need to shout so loudly. We can tell what happened just from your face."

With slightly gentle words, Hermes raised his hands and slowly lowered them, indicating to Apollo that there was no need for him to be so agitated.

"you--!"

Apollo glared angrily at Hermes, then quickly covered the spot where he had been struck with his hand.

But then he suddenly remembered that the bruises there had been healed by the medicine, and now there were no traces left on his face.

However, by the time he realized this, it was too late.

Because laughter had spread throughout the entire assembly.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of Apollo's extremely wicked character that almost all the gods have no liking for him.

Moreover, he frequently suppressed other deities.

It can be said that the reason why some of the Apollo's followers bullied lower-level adventurers in such a way was precisely because of the wicked nature of their god.

He forcibly took away almost all the adventurers that Apollo liked from those weaker clans.

If the other god disagrees, Apollo might even find reasons to initiate a war game.

The other gods, who were simply entertaining themselves, wouldn't care whether Apollo's actions were right or wrong.

Under pressure, the gods had no choice but to surrender their kin.

"Don't you realize that he is touching a taboo?"

Apollo understood that this was not the time to confront Hermes directly.

He now needs the approval of more than half of the gods before the guild can issue an arrest warrant for Shirou Emiya.

Just because one's own Familia can't defeat Shirou Emiya doesn't mean that none of Orario's Familias can.

"No human has ever dared to treat gods like this. Isn't it us who have brought them such a peaceful life?"

"They should have treated us with gratitude, but now? Once is never enough!"

"If we don't punish Shirou Emiya and take a strict stance on this kind of thing, what will happen in the future?"

"Our prestige as gods will plummet to zero in the mortal realm. Now that someone dares to attack us like this, what will they do in the future? Godslaying?"

Apollo's expression gradually calmed down, and he began to talk at length about the impact of what Shirou Emiya had done.

Putting aside everything he had done before, what Shirou Emiya did to the gods was an absolute taboo in this world.

Even the gods don't want to be bitten back by the humans who accepted their help.

Judging solely from Shirou Emiya's actions, he set a precedent by attacking a god.

Not all the gods sitting here know what exactly happened in the Soma Familia last night.

Rather, most of the gods present only learned of what happened last night this morning.

Emiya Shirou single-handedly defeated hundreds of people, including the entire Apollo Familia.
