Chapter-17
—--------------
After finishing making breakfast he goes to the room to see Hestia who should be sleeping already awake waiting on the couch all fresh up.
"Did the breakfast ready?" Hestia asked this with a sparkle in her eyes while looking at yuno.
Yuno faces Hestia with a helpless expression since it's already understood how much she likes his cooking.
"Yes, but you have to wait until she is awake," yuno said while pointing toward the other girl who is still asleep.
"Tsk…fine" Hestia also agreed but for some reason, she didn't like yuno paying attention to the other girl in front of her.
Suddenly the girl who was sleeping on the bed moved her eyes as she opened them to see the unfamiliar place.
"Where am I??" The girl looked confused as she asked this.
Yuno and Hestia quickly come toward the bed near her.
"Child, are you ok?" Hestia asked this with a soft tone even though she is somewhat jealous of her but in the end, she is still a compassionate goddess.
"G-Go-Goddess-sama!?" The girl was startled to see the goddess in front of her at the moment she woke up.
She tries to get up but Hestia pushes her back on the bed and says "no need to stand child," While patting her head.
"Go-Goddess-sama why am I here?" The girl asked this as she is already very confused about her current situation.
"My dependent brought you here last night," Hestia said while pointing at yuno.
The girl looks to the side to see an extremely handsome black hair man wearing a blindfold.
She gets stunned as she suddenly recalls last night's events.
"Thank you very much, mister, for saving me last night," she said while bowing her head expressing her gratitude, even though she hardly see anything due to being severely beaten but she barely managed to see who saved her.
"It's fine but can you tell us about you?" Yuno asked since he didn't know anything about the girl yet.
"Yes, my name is….Lili, nice to meet…you mister and goddess-sama" lily introduced herself with a little hesitation but she couldn't lie since there is Goddess present.
"Nice to meet you too, I am yuno and she is my goddess, Hestia" yuno also introduced himself and Hestia.
"Why I am here?" Lili asked this in confusion since she last remember she was in an alley.
"You are in our home since you were
Injured yesterday my dependent brought you here" Hestia replied to Lili.
*growl*
Suddenly, a sound comes from Lili's stomach, and she lowers her head with an embarrassed face.
Seeing this both yuno and Hestia chuckled at her, while yuno smiled and said "let's eat something first"
"I was thinking the same!" Hestia also agreed excitedly with his decision; she gently pulled Lili out of the bed to the table.
Yuno also quickly go to the kitchen and grabbed the dishes.
Seeing yuno going to the kitchen without anyone guiding him, Lili got worried about yuno as she tap on Hestia's shoulder and asked with a worried tone "will he will be fine on his own?"
Even though she has seen he is strong but couldn't help but feel worried for the blind boy since he saved her last night and she still hasn't paid her gratitude.
Hestia looks back at Lili as she smiles proudly and said "you don't have to worry, yuno is amazing"
Lili only expresses a confused look on her face by hearing words from Hestia as she let herself pull by her.
Soon the table filled with dishes, and the lily got dumbstruck seeing the food she saw in her entire life.
*stiff* *stiff*
But smelling the aroma coming from the dishes, she knows they are delicious.
*gulp*
She swallowed her saliva nervously as this is her first time having such a meal.
Hestia make her sit while she also sat beside her and yuno join them.
As Hestia and yuno started to eat the food, seeing them Lili also slowly picked one piece and take a bite.
*gulp*
As the piece comes down her throat, her eyes sparkle as she quickly grabbed the food and started to devour the food on the table at high speed.
Sensing the way Lili is eating by his observation haki, yuno revealed a satisfied smile thinking his cooking appreciate by other people too.
But unlike yuno, Hestia felt a crisis seeing the dishes disappear at high speed, as she also started to pick dishes before they all got finished by lily.
While yuno continues to eat calmly while Hestia and Lili eat like they are having a competition.
....
After they finished their breakfast, Hestia and Lili both lay on the couch with blissful faces as they patted their stomach which is already looking like balloons because of the large quantity of food they had eaten.
Yuno was glad that he make food for 5 people instead of 3 just in case of an emergency since he knows the appetite of Hestia.
"Haa…yuno-kun if I became fat it will be all your fault for making me eat all these delicious dishes," Hestia complained but there is no anger in her voice but rather a cute voice.
Yuno only gives a helpless smile to Hestia and then faces Lili and asked "did my food match your taste, Lili?"
Lili's eyes sparkled as she excitedly replied "it was the most delicious thing I ate in my entire life, thank you very much for me having such a meal"
"It's good you like my food," yuno said with a smile on his face, even though he knows she liked his food from the way she eat but it was not like he doesn't want to be praised.
"Hestia-sama now I am going to the dungeon, take care," yuno said while he wear his amour and packed his things up.
"Can't you take a day off today and rest??" Hestia asked worriedly since she knows how much he grinds yesterday which was his first day and she didn't want him to go to the dungeon and fight that many monsters alone every single day.
She at least wants to recruit more new members to her familia so that he will not be alone, but alas she knows this is very difficult for now until she l clear the debt.
She also felt guilty for him because of her mistakes which lead her to this situation where her only dependent has to work alone without any help
if there is any way to go back in time current Hestia will beat the past Hestia who was freeloading her friend Hephaestus and told her to work her lazy ass on her familia but alas it is only a dream of hers.
Lili heard their conversation suddenly as she interrupted them and asked with a surprised tone "are you an adventure?!"
Yuno nodded his head at her question, making lily stunned but yuno didn't think too much of this since he thought she is surprised who blind can go to the dungeon.
But unlike yuno's thoughts, Lili after seeing yuno admit that he is an adventurer, eyes became cold for a second but soon it was replaced by complex emotion…..or confusion.
"It's fine Hestia-sama, I will not go much deeper in the dungeon anyway," yuno said as he gives Hestia a reassuring smile.
"..Sign…ok but promise me to not ever put yourself in danger, if you ever meet a monster you feel danger just run away from it, your life is most important, ok?" Hestia said this with a serious tone while looking up into Yuno's blindfold.
Yuno nodded his head while he picked up his bag and prepared to leave.
"Wait for a second!" Lili shouted as she runs toward him.
Yuno stop his steps and turn around and ask "what is it?"
"Take me with you to the dungeon, I am a supporter I will surely be helpful to you," Lili said as she comes in front of yuno.
'Supporter' yuno was surprised to hear that she is a supporter because her body is like that of a child he didn't think that a small body can carry heavy stuff but he didn't think she is lying since he knows gods can detect lies and Hestia didn't say anything about it so this is probably the truth.
Supporters are people that explore the dungeon along with adventurers.
They carry many things ranging from magic stones dropped from monsters to spare weapons and items.
New familia members can serve as supporters to older familia members to gain experience in the dungeon.
In some cases, members of a familia may serve as supporters to the more experienced members.
When yuno is about to reject her, "please take me with you I want to repay you for all that you provide" Lili insists on saying this.
"Take her with you yuno she may help you to reduce your burden," Hestia said from this side, even though she didn't like the idea of yuno alone with her but she more wants to reduce his burden even by small means that is why she agreed to the lili request.
"...sign..fine" yuno agreed as he released a tired sign.
Seeing that he agreed Lili quickly started to prepare for the dungeon.
After 5 minutes….
"I am ready," Lili said as she comes back with the bag on her back.
Lili has a petite body with chestnut-coloured hair and eyes.
She is wearing a slightly torn red and white hooded top, a red skirt, black tights and light brown boots.
"Alright let's go then," yuno said as he walks through the door Lili follows him from behind while Hestia watch them leave.
