The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 122 Apollo

"Thank you all for coming today!"

Just then, a powerful voice echoed throughout the venue.

Everyone in the room instinctively looked in the same direction.

At the other end of the banquet hall, a male god appeared under the spotlight.

Her golden hair, radiating the color of sunlight, seemed to have been concentrated with the sun's rays, glowing with a brilliant luster.

The smile that appeared on his lips was equally dazzling, and his handsome appearance was among the best of all male gods.

He was very tall, wearing a laurel crown with green leaves on his head, with a male and a female member of his family on each side respectfully waiting for his orders.

It was Apollo, the sun god, who hosted this banquet of the gods.

"This time I changed the way the banquet was done according to my own ideas. Do you all like it? Dressing up our beloved children and bringing them to our banquet like this adds a different kind of fun, doesn't it?"

Apollo, dressed in his finest attire to match his role as the host of the banquet, spoke with a very loud voice.

The other gods, who loved to join in the fun, immediately cheered and applauded, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

"I feel immense joy at being able to see so many of my fellow tribesmen and my beloved children."

At this point, Apollo paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

—I even have a feeling that I might have a wonderful new encounter tonight.

As he spoke, Apollo's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, fell in the direction of Fenyu, his red eyes filled with undisguised desire and possessiveness.

Feeling that sticky gaze, Fen Yu's stomach churned, and she felt nauseous.

He quickly turned his head to look at Fukaros's sacred and beautiful profile beside him, and gently took a deep breath of the fragrance emanating from her, which was like a clear spring, before he could barely suppress the feeling of nausea.

"Tonight will be a long night, and I will treat you to good wine and food. Please make sure you have a great time."

After saying this, Apollo opened his arms enthusiastically.

As if in agreement, the gods centered around him immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Many people raised their crystal-clear glasses to each other, instantly pushing the atmosphere in the banquet hall to a new climax, creating a lively and extraordinary atmosphere.

Apollo did not immediately launch an attack, clearly wanting to find a more suitable opportunity.

His team members, dressed in uniform, moved busily through the crowd like professional waiters, carrying trays.

"It seems our Sun God isn't in a hurry. Let's enjoy the feast first; we can't waste this delicious food."

Fukaros spoke softly to Fenyu, then gracefully walked to the dining table beside her.

Compared to Funina, who only has a fondness for desserts, Fucarus seems to appreciate all kinds of food.

Seeing this, and having nothing else to do, Fenyu took a glass of blood-red wine and walked over to Yamato no Mikoto's side.

"How's life lately? Cherry blossoms should be reaching the level to level up by now, right?"

"Well, things have been going fairly well lately. Lady Sakura is still working hard to accumulate great achievements, but she's probably still a little ways from leveling up."

Yamato no longer blushes and is no longer as flustered as when she first entered the scene.

"It will only be a few months, soon. Then the Takemikazuchi Familia will have a genuine high-level adventurer, be able to earn more money, and you will be able to better help your homeland."

Fenyu knew that the Takemikazuchi Familia's initial purpose in coming to Orario was to make money and then send it back to their homeland in the Far East to help the shrines that had become increasingly impoverished due to taking in orphans.

"I must thank Mr. Fenyu for saving us last time, otherwise we would have—" Yamato's eyes were filled with sincere gratitude.

But before she could finish speaking, Fenyu interrupted her with a smile: "It's all in the past. Jianyu Lei Shangshen has taught me a lot and given me a lot of help. Besides, we're friends now, right? If we're friends, there's no need to keep those polite words to ourselves. It's too formal."

"I understand."

Yamato nodded heavily, his expression resolute. "Mr. Fubu, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to assist you."

She was also aware that the Fukaros Familia was being coveted by the powerful Apollo Familia.

Takemikazuchi came here to support the Fukaros Familia. Although the weak Takemikazuchi Familia may not have much influence, it at least showed an attitude.

"Don't worry, I won't hold back if anything happens. And you too, feel free to come to me anytime if you have any difficulties." Fen Yu smiled gently and raised his wine glass.

Yamato gently clinked glasses with him, mimicking his gesture, and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

The wine slid down her throat, instantly giving her cheeks a lovely blush.

"I heard from the Supreme God that Mr. Fenyu's growth rate is simply astonishing. Is there some unique secret? Like—is he cheating?"

Yamato caught his breath and, with a hint of curiosity, asked half-jokingly.

Fen Yu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said in a low, mysterious voice, "This is a secret technique, I don't tell just anyone. Want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Of course, it's my homemade 'divine happiness water'!"

A teasing voice broke in. Naza, carrying a plate of delicate snacks, had somehow gotten close to the two of them. "Little sister, do you need some too? Since we're such good friends, I'll give you a 20% discount. One bottle and I guarantee you'll ascend to immortality, fighting monsters will be like playing a game of Musou, and leveling up will be like riding a rocket."

"Don't lie or cheat!"

Yamato was both amused and exasperated by Nazha's explanation. She and Nazha were already quite familiar with each other, as the two main gods had been friends for many years.

"By the way, is this building also property of the Apollo Familia?"

Fen Yu glanced at the lavish decor around him and asked curiously.

If this is also the property of the Apollo Familia, then once they win the War Game, this place will change hands and belong to Fucarus.

No, that's not it.

Before anyone could answer, Asphie walked over with her wine glass, gently adjusting her glasses. "This facility is public property managed by the guild and will be rented to any interested members of the [Family] or merchants, depending on their needs."

"Some gods do hold 'banquets' at their headquarters, but probably only someone like Ganesha would do that."

Takemikazuchi also spoke up, "Generally speaking, no god would casually invite people from other factions into the [Family] headquarters."

"After all, that would be tantamount to letting people in freely, which is no different from opening the door to thieves. If we do that, we can't keep it a secret," Mih explained gently.

Everyone agreed.
