After enjoying the bath, Mew joined the other members of the Hestia Familia for dinner. While Bell and Hestia didn't pay a lot of attention to Mew, a short girl with short chestnut colored hair continued to stare at Mew with hostility. She kept a knife close at hand and twitched every time Mew grabbed towards something to eat it.
"Hestia-sama, what is this creature? It is a monster right? Why are you not attacking it?!" Lili said in a stressed tone, her eyes still firmly kept on Mew.
Hestia finished what she was eating and dabbed her mouth clean before she aswered Lili's questions.
"Maa, it might seem like a monster to you. I understand. It isn't strange for you to think of him like that. To be honest, when I heard about it from Hepheastus, I too thought it was a monster."
Hestia looked at Mew as it carefree stuffed his mouth with pastries.
"To be more specific, that creature called Mew is something more closely related to the gods. It wouldn't be mistaken to call it a spirit, but it has divine energy and a divine soul. That is probably also the reason Ouranos hasn't taken any actions aginst Mew."
Lili eyes the pink cat-like creature with astonishment, but the hostility wasn't gone yet.
"But Hestia-sama! We don't know what it might do! What if this is only a guise to fool us?"
Lili said, with reasonable arguments.
"Maa, Lil' Lili, no point in arguing. It just means we have to see it for ourselves, doesn't it. If it really was such a danger as you say it could be, then Loki-sama and Hepheastus-sama would have dealt with it already. It is enough proof to see it still alive, playing around like that."
Welf said as he too looked at Mew. Mew had finished eating and was currently floating around in a pink bubble, boucing around against the walls and hovering in the air. A giggle was often hear when it collided with something.
"W-well I think you're right. But I still won't trust him one bit!"
Lili said as she stuffed her mouth with food in a agitated manner.
"I don't ask you to. Just understand where the gods are coming from is enough for now."
Welf said as he too continued eating.
"Then let's spend the day out tomorrow to get to know Mew better!"
Bell excitedly said, a big innocent smile on his face. At his suggestion, Mew perked up as he hovered about Mew's head. Yelling in a cheerful manner, Mew pulled at Bell's hair as if he couldn't wait to go.
