reaching the table, Syr greetings the sitting, "welcome! Hohenheim-san! you took my advice and visited our inn, hehe."
The blond smiled, "yeah I did, thank you for your consideration. do you have anything recommend to feast upon?"
"hehe, sure! here is the menu!, I strongly recommend tonight's special!"
"grilled duck immersed with Rich ramen soup : 5k vlais!"
Hestia eyes poped out of her skull, "are you trying to rob us?! , that's hella expensive!" he shouted in anger
"please, Hestia-sama, I don't put the price, Mia-san does, if anything would Hestia-sama like to complain, please go to her." Syr answers with a smile
like a exploded balloon, the short goddess were defeated, Hohenheim patted her head, "it's alright, let's try it."
"but..."
"you worked hard goddess, let me reward you." Hohenheim chuckled, "Syr-chan, please bring us two, oh and with the best drinks you have." he asked and thought, 'it's been a while since I had a drink, I could make it myself, but it's not the same I guess.' he smiled internally
"Are you sure, Hohenheim-san? our best drink is quite strong."
"ohh? then that's more like it!" he smiled happily
"then it's settled! normally our best drink is quite costy, but since you have ordered it with tonight's special, you will have a discount!" Syr bowed and went her way
"nee, Hohe-kun... something about her irked me for some reason..." Hestia frowned a bit, the teen smiled wryly, 'lets avoid exposing that stalker for a while..to avoid headaches too' and he changed the subject, "goddess seems a bit lonely, don't you have more friends?"
Hestia smiled bitterly, "when I was in heaven, I did have good relationships with the other virgin goddesses like Athena and Artemis...but Athena think that men are inferior and refused to go the mortal world, since it's is ruled by men after all, Artemis actually have descent before me, but her location is unknown, but even then I doubt she will like our correct situation..."
"hmm why?"
"uhh...she really dislike men..and love in general...that putting lightly...she said she might as well die if she ever lost her chastity..." Hestia said shaken her head
"you gotta respect her conviction." He said with a chuckle
"please don't be sarcastic infront of her if you ever met her.. she might throw her arcanum at you..." hestia laughed dryly
"I can't make promises~" Hestia pouted but her eyes lit up upon seeing the incoming dinner
"Thank you for your patience, here is your order!" a black haired cat girl named chole said with a smile
"so what is your gimmick?" Hestia asks , Hohenheim laughed lightly at her remark
"oh? I like gambling! but the other girls dislike it so they give me the cold shoulder when I ask them to play!" chole fakes pouting
"then I'll gamble you one day." Hohenheim smiled
"really mister, nya!"
"yeah, just hit me up." He chuckled, and try stop the urge to gamble, since had the soul of gambling addict, it left some side effects on him, he usually surpassing it, so it's not an issue
"hey! gambling is a bad habit!" Hestia started to scolded him, "same with drinking, Hestia."
"aww! hohe-kun! you can't beat women with logic! that way she will came out as a bimbo and lose your chances with her! your lucky I already like you!" Hestia pouts and falsely scold him
"I didn't realize you are good at maneuvering subjects, goddess" the blond burst out laughing saying her adorable face become more pouty , he decided to stop teasing her did the next action
"hmm?" hestia looked to her dish and noticed a spoon out of eat, she looked to her child pointing it to her mouth, hestia pout disappeared opening her mouth for food train
"hm! that's really good!"
"yeah, I must admit it's better than mine." he said while eating, 'well, cooking was a passing hobby, but it's interested me to know who made this dish' he casually though
while both goddess and child while enjoying their dinner, the door bust open to reveal a flat chest closed eyes redhead
"ITS A FEAST HAHAHHAHA! COME ON BOYS! LEYS CELEBRATE OUR RECENT VICTORY!" she said in joy , she immediately wear followed by group of adventure who are famous is understatement for them
"Loki, no need to be extra noisy." a boy with golden hair and blue eyes said with a groan
"come on, Finn! don't be a party pooper!"
"captain is right, Loki-sama, your entrance brought a lot of attention." a jade haired elf beauty said calmly
"ha! that even better! these lousy adventure better know the might of our familia!" Loki laughed, causing her familia to shrug their shoulders and fellow her
"huh? isn't that the tits chibi!" Loki opened her closed eyes and looked at certain direction, the rest followed that eyesight to see hohenheim and hestia
"Ara?" Tione eyes lit up and said energetically "hey! it's Ais brother!"
her voice was loud and everyone in the hub hear her,
"Ais's brother??" x2 hestia and Loki looked at hohenheim and ais repeatedly, ais had a surprise expression but was replaced but blank one, but it can be seen that's she was a bit happy that she saw him
hohenheim raised his eyebrows at looked at tione dryly, which the latter only realize what she done and only struck her tongue playfully 'teehee~'
"but it's impossible...Ais is lonely child, her birth is already a miracle being a union between a human and spirit..." Loki muttered to herself
"hohe-kun... what the deal with this?? are you related with this Ais wash-whatever?" she said while being confused
"not as far I know." he said while smiling wryly, "nice to meat you again, little sister~" he waved at her
"...but I'm the one who is Older...." Loki closed eyes opened wide as she for the first time so a slightly pouty Ais!
"you can pout?!?!"
"pout?" Ais titled her head in confusion
"you still doing it now!" Loki said in disbelief
"oh...I don't know, I just felt like it"
"can you tell me what's going on??" hestia asked and that cause Hohenheim to explain
"..oh so you met them on your adventure..." hestia nodded , "but you really look like, maybe you are really siblings.."
"I'm lone orphan is long I remember" he looked at Ais, 'but she gives a huge spiritual power, unlike me' he didn't know about her linage but deduced that she isn't only human but a hybrid
"well he won against her with fight on same level," tione said casually
'how is related to the issue!' everyone mind though the same, but that brought them to another topic
"he did?" Loki was surprised, 'but Ais is only overpower against monsters, in terms of swordsmanship, she isn't outstanding, and she didn't use magic, so she only can use technique and experience against him, but that's feat is alone impressive, is he managed to defeat her 10 years of experience...' Loki thought
of course hestia didn't have access to such information, so she smiled smugly, "hehehe, my hohe-kun is better than your price child, you flat plain closed eyes!"
"heh, then let them fight now without any limit, let's see how that goes!" Loki smirked
"that's..." Hestia found speechless at Loki shamelessness
"no fight in my place , is that clear?" a voice interrupt their Lind of though,
"sure mia, we are regular costumers." Finn said preventing his goddess from speaking more nonsense and guide his familia towards their reserved place
"tsk" Bete clicked his tongue but didn't say anything, he dislike the weak, but Hohenheim defeated Ais, so even tho he is only level 1, he earned a bit of his respect, so he chose not to waste time on him and went his way
"sorry hohe-kun...I couldn't defend you..." hestia looked down in shame
"haha, hestia you did what you feel is right, I'm not disappointed at all, but touched, besides she didn't say anything wrong, right now, she could defeat me a slash had she used full power" he patted her head and said to comfort her
"but that's isn't fair comparison..."
"life and death is decided by unfair comparison, that how the word work, only to strive to do and be better will allow us to have that between our hands.." he said with a smile
"that looks old man's words you know" hestia giggled
"I have the wisdom of old man, and Vigor of young one, what's better combination?" he smirked and hestia giggled, the atmosphere between them became harmonic, and continue their date in peace....
