"We have a gift for you. Aren't you going to come see it?" The green-haired elf blinked her large eyes, her voice warm as she extended the invitation.
'This late?'
Yuto sat up, puzzled by the unexpected gesture. Before he could think too much, Ais grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet, guiding him toward a luxurious suite.
He had barely reached the doorway when a loud pop echoed from inside. It was the sound of a cork bursting free from a wine bottle. Pushing the door open, he was greeted by a shower of champagne, spraying like a gentle rain from above, misting over every girl in the room.
"Yoohoo! Welcome to our protagonist of the day!"
Tiona, clutching bottles of champagne and red wine, flashed a mischievous grin at the three newcomers. Without hesitation, she aimed the champagne bottle at Yuto's face, ready to douse him in a burst of sparkling liquid.
"Tiona, what's going on this late at night?" Yuto raised a hand, freezing the incoming droplets midair with a casual flick of his power. The surreal sight; wine suspended like a slow-motion scene from a movie, drew a startled yelp from Tiona.
"Hey, Yuto, did you forget? Today isn't just your birthday, it's also the day we conquered the 59th floor!"
"Exactly! Two big wins in one day. Doesn't that deserve a champagne toast?"
Tione stepped forward, her curvaceous figure swaying slightly, a playful smile on her lips. She slid up beside him, wrapping her arms around his right side and pressing her ample chest against him without a hint of restraint.
"It's rare for everyone to be here. We've got to celebrate properly!"
"I see. You've all put a lot of thought into this."
Yuto blinked, scanning the room. Something struck him as odd. Every single person present was a girl, almost as if it had been planned that way. Familiar faces from the Loki Familia—Tiona, Tione, Ais, and Riveria mingled with the waitresses from the Hostess of Fertility: Syr, Ryuu, Anya, Chloe, and Lunoire. They were all here, every last one of them.
One by one, they approached him, their voices soft and genuine as they offered their blessings.
"Thank you, everyone."
Surrounded by so many beautiful women, Yuto decided to let the night unfold naturally, abandoning any thought of sleep. With his current physique, rest was optional anyway. It was just a lingering habit from his human days.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Chloe leapt onto the center table, her cat-like energy on full display. She tapped the wine bottles with glee, calling out, "Let's all drink together!"
'It wouldn't hurt to indulge just this once, right?' Her flushed cheeks and tipsy grin made it obvious she'd already started, turning into a giggling drunkard ahead of the rest.
Chloe's words carried a tempting edge, like a playful devil whispering in their ears. Her adorable, drunken state sparked laughter among the girls, but it didn't take long for curiosity to take hold. One by one, they started to join in.
It was a rare, joyful day, after all. A little drink to unwind wouldn't hurt. The girls sampled the sweet, fizzy wine and found it more like a tasty soda than proper alcohol. It went down easy, and with the alcohol content seeming low, they had no reason to hold back. Glasses were raised, and they drank heartily, the mood growing lighter with every sip.
Hours slipped by in a blur of drinks and laughter, the table littered with empty dishes. When Yuto finally snapped out of his reverie, the room was thick with the rich scent of wine.
"Ah, this… Don't they realize these drinks might taste mild, but they hit hard later?"
He shook his head, the only one still clear-headed. Nearby, Lefiya clung to a wine bottle, half-dazed as Tiona teased her like a kitten.
On the other side of the room, Ais, completely plastered, had shed her usual emotionless calm. Her terrible tolerance for alcohol had unleashed a rare wild side. She lunged at Riveria, who was barely holding onto her senses, pinning the elf to a chair and tugging at her clothes.
"Hey, Ais, what are you doing!?" Riveria's face was flushed, the alcohol fully taking over. She hadn't expected Ais, the girl she'd raised from childhood to turn on her like this. Too drunk to cast a sobering spell, she was helpless.
Ais, fresh off her level 6 upgrade that morning, overpowered her effortlessly. The graceful, green-haired elf could only squirm like a trapped kitten as the drunken Sword Princess pawed at her.
Yuto ignored Riveria's pleading glance, quietly savoring the chaotic spectacle. Beside him, Tiona wobbled over, whether genuinely drunk or faking it, he couldn't tell. Dressed only in a thin white top, she leaned forward, shamelessly showing off her figure.
"Does it look good? Hehe~"
Before he could respond, soft arms slipped around his neck from behind. A warm, curvaceous body pressed against his back, reeking of wine. Turning his head, he met Tione's gaze, her face red, eyes hazy with drunken allure. She propped her chin on his shoulder, a sultry smile spreading across her lips.
"Darling~~~"
Her voice was syrupy, a stark contrast to her usual composed Amazonian demeanor. That "darling" made Yuto's eye twitch, 'Is she seriously this drunk?'
"Tione, you've had too much. Let me help you rest." He tried to reason with her, but she brushed off his protests.
"N-No, it's not like that!"
Ignoring his attempts to push her away, she clung to him, rubbing against him with drunken abandon.
"Do you know… we Amazons have always admired strong warriors the most."
Tione, usually so reserved around him, gazed at him with starry-eyed worship, her tone soft and flirty.
"Slaying the labyrinth's solitary king, defeating Apollo, wiping out the corrupted spirit… Just seeing you, darling, standing there so heroic… I can't hold back anymore."
Her eyes locked onto his handsome face, her cheeks growing redder, her expression more lost by the second. Then, she burst into a shout. In a flash, her wheat-toned Amazonian skin and striking curves filled his vision.
"Wait, don't touch my clothes!" Caught up in Tione's antics, Yuto didn't notice the other girls taking interest.
"What? Why does big sis get to go first?" Tiona flipped her hair and pounced like a tipsy kitten.
"No stealing! Yuto's mine!" Ais, face flushed, stumbled over too.
"Hey, hey! Yuto's mine and Ais too! Don't take them!"
Lefiya, sprawled on the floor with a wine bottle, forced her watery eyes open, fogged with drunkenness. Seeing Yuto swarmed felt like losing a treasured toy, and with a pout, she crawled toward him.
"You're all awful, he's mine!"
Riveria, watching the chaos, couldn't stay back. Her long legs wobbled as she staggered forward, the last to join the fray.
…..
The next day, it was well past morning when Yuto finally extricated himself from the tangle of sleeping girls. A warm beam of sunlight slipped through the curtains, painting the room in a soft glow. Staring at the breathtaking scene before him, he froze, memories of the wild night flooding back.
"Accidentally went for the full family bucket… Not bad, I guess."
He couldn't imagine the embarrassment these girls would feel when they woke up, but for him, it had been a blast.
Days passed in a flash. Yuto spent every moment with the girls from that birthday night. Despite occasional bickering, his efforts smoothed things over, and they learned to get along. In the world of Danmachi, he'd built a sprawling crystal palace, a harem of his own.
Now, wielding divine power, Yuto set his sights beyond this world. He yearned to grow stronger, to reach a level where he could shatter stars, ensuring the girls from every realm could join him without hindrance.
"It's time to go."
He gave a final hug to a teary-eyed Hestia. In the next heartbeat, his figure vanished from the world.
