/Knock/Knock/!
"Hestia-sama, are you in the room?"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Yami could even imagine in his mind Hestia's bare feet stepping on the ground, trotting all the way to open the door.
The door was quickly opened, and the figure of Goddess Loli leaned out.
The difference in height made the ribbon on her head with a small silver clock stand out. A pair of blue and transparent big eyes sparkled, and she was so breathtakingly beautiful.
An atmosphere of infinite reverie is brewing.
It has to be said that Hestia has perfected all the aesthetic points of Yami.
It's hard not to like this kind of beautiful lolita with a beautiful figure.
"Yami-kun? What do you want from me?"
After opening the door, Hestia looked at Yami curiously, her cheeks turned slightly red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she regained her composure when she saw Ubuyashiki Kagaya.
If it weren't for Yami's excellent eyesight, perhaps he would not be able to capture such subtle changes at all.
"Sorry to bother you, Hestia-sama, Kagaya and I came here to discuss something with you, about Kagaya's world and the situation of the other Demon Slayer Members."
Yami stated his purpose bluntly.
Hestia frowned slightly, and even the twin ponytails on her head began to dance slightly, "Is this the thing? Then come in first!"
"Excuse me, Goddess-sama." Kagaya bowed slightly before entering the room.
This is the first time Yami has come to Hestia's room. The imaginary girl's heart has been slightly decorated, which is completely different from the room of Goddess Hestia.
However, probably due to insufficient funds, the various decorations are not particularly gorgeous.
"Kagaya-kun, Yami-kun, sit down casually."
Greeting the two to sit down, Hestia poured three cups of tea without any airs, which flattered Kagaya, but Yami looked calm.
Because he knows that this is very normal. The gods in the world of 'Danmachi' are basically like this. Most of the gods will not show any airs to humans, and most of the time they do not have the sense of majesty that gods should have. As long as they like you enough, You won't have any problems even if you beat them up.
It can be said to be quite easy to talk about.
Of course, if a human offends them, the situation is quite different.
For those who offend the gods, even if the gods will not do it themselves, the members of their familia won't let you go and will directly launch a Familia war.
"Then, Yami-kun, what did you say about Kagaya-kun's Demon Slayer team?"
"It's like this, Hestia-sama," Yami took a sip of tea, and then put down the cup, "You are well aware of the physical problems of Kagaya and Tanjuro-san, the materials needed to make magic potions are very precious, at least It can only be found in more than 30 floors, and it is not enough to rely on a few people alone."
"Just tonight, Hephaestus-sama and I are planning to go to another world. The Demon Slayer team still has many excellent talents, who are very suitable to make income for the familia. So I want to ask you if you want to go together."
"After all, you also know that our Hephaestus Familia is a craftsman Familia, and we don't advocate recruiting adventurers of the exploration familia."
Yami wasn't lying.
No matter how good the fighters are, Hephaestus is still more interested in blacksmithing, and she hopes that her children can create equipment that will make her eyes shine.
The last time she was willing to accept Kanae and others, it was because of Yami's recommendation.
Among all the members of the Demon Slayer team, probably only those swordsmiths in the village of swordsmiths would make his Goddess interested, and the others would probably not be accepted.
That being the case, he might as well let Hestia accept them.
"Go to another world? Yami-kun, can you still take me and Hephaestus to another world?! This is too powerful, I will go, I will go, and I will accept the children of the Demon Slayer team!"
Hearing Yami's words, Hestia suddenly became very excited, and rushed forward to grab Yami's hand, her eyes full of joy.
There is nothing more exciting than going to another world and being able to expand her Familia.
"No problem, let's go together after dinner, but before that, there are still some things that need to be discussed. It is about obtaining the materials that Kagaya-kun and the others need. In addition to the dungeon drops, perhaps they can also be obtained through the market and buy small ones."
"In addition, perhaps the purchase of the initial residence of the Hestia Familia can also be obtained from that world."
"Huh?! But we don't have initial capital?"
Hestia was a little moved, but when she thought that she was just a poor god, there was nothing she could do about it!
"Don't worry about this. Goddess-sama, the Demon Slayer Squad still has some assets. Although a lot of them have been distributed, there is no problem with buying general-level residents. However, if you want to buy high-end materials, then it's a little difficult."
Kagaya still had a gentle expression on his face, and told the basic situation in a concise manner.
The Demon Slayer team was partially disbanded, and as the leader, he also distributed a sum of money to all members who wanted to leave. Although it was not too much, at least they would have enough food and drink for the rest of their life.
In fact, only he himself knows how huge the Ubuyashiki Family property is.
"Kagaya-kun, are you actually so rich?"
Hearing this, Hestia's expression was slightly surprised, her eyes lit up again, and at the same time she was very moved, but soon felt a little embarrassed.
"Although I really want to have my own Familia and residence, wouldn't it be too good to let Kagaya-kun and other children bear the burden? As your main God it's not good at all!"
"No, Goddess-sama, you are worrying too much, this is what we should do."
Seeing that Hestia was still hesitant after Kagaya persuasion, Yami persuaded her at the right time: "Hestia-sama, in fact, you don't need to have a psychological burden. As Goddess, you have already given them your favor, and they should serve you. After all, the Familia is not only the Goddess home but also the home of your children."
After saying these words, the confusion on Hestia's face disappeared instantly.
Undoubtedly, Yami's persuasion went to the heart of this loli goddess.
Isn't the purpose of her establishing a Familia to find the child she likes, and then become a Familia, and finally everyone will live happily together?
"I understand, I will trouble you then, Kagaya-kun."
Hestia's expression was full of complexities, and she looked at Yami with an inexplicable meaning, "Yami-kun, if you are not the child of Hephaestus, I really want to fight for you desperately, you are simply the most perfect candidate for the team captain in my mind!"
"That would be such a pity, but it's all right now, isn't it?"
Although Yami is not a member of the Hestia Familia, he has never regretted his choice. Before the traversal simulation system appeared, it was naturally the best choice to join the Hestia Familia.
But when he was at his worst, Hephaestus chose him, so it is naturally impossible to choose to betray her now, this is his most sincere emotion!
"Then I will ask Yami-kun to take me to another world tonight. I can't wait to see other Familia members!"
Hestia's eyes shone with anticipation.
She is a group of gods who came to the lower realm very late, so after coming to Orario, the Familia members of this labyrinth city are almost saturated, and adventurers are not willing to become the Familia members of a god who has nothing like her.
Due to it, Hestia was very disappointed, and even became decadent.
However, what she wants has always been Familia members, a Familia members who is kind-hearted children and are willing to live with her, as long as they are willing to join her Familia, it doesn't matter whether they are adventurers or not, and whether they are willing to enter the dungeon or not.
If the children are willing to enter the dungeon, Hestia will silently bless them and pray for their safe return.
If the children are unwilling to enter the dungeon, she will not force it. At worst, they live together in a slightly worse environment, and it doesn't matter if they rely on part-time jobs to survive.
This is the charm of Hestia!
"Leave it to me, whether it's for the Hephaestus Familia, for the Hestia Familia, or for myself, I will do it that way."
"But before that, it's rare for everyone to come back from the dungeon today. Why don't we celebrate it and make up for what happened last time. I'll cook the food myself, and start working after dinner."
"Do you want to have a banquet? Then I will help too!"
Hestia took the initiative to say this sentence, which made Yami look surprised.
"Don't show that expression, anyway, I'm also a God of , and my cooking skills are pretty good." Sensing Yami's suspicion, Hestia immediately showed a dissatisfied expression, and said a little angrily: "Hmph, I'm going to cook tonight and let you see the cooking skills of this goddess, so don't swallow your tongue when you taste my cooking!"
"Okay, okay, then I'm looking forward to your cooking, Hestia-sama~"
Nodding suspiciously, Yami's heart is indeed full of expectation.
Although Hestia doesn't seem to have shown her cooking skills in the original book except for fried potato balls, but as she said, she is also the goddess who manages the stove, so her cooking skills should not be bad!
Of course, if there is any accident in the middle, it will not be unexpected.
After all, in the final analysis, Hestia is really a good-for-nothing goddess!
After the discussion, Yami and Hestia came to the kitchen to prepare for the evening banquet.
It seemed that she really wanted to show her talents and change everyone's perception of her. Hestia is very motivated throughout the whole process, and the results she obtained did live up to her expectations.
It is no exaggeration to say that just one or two side dishes, the taste also surprised Yami.
He also changed his mind about Hestia a little bit!
At least, this loli goddess is not as useless as he imagined. This cooking skill is superior to his, and all the dishes he has tasted are second to none.
"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am!"
Observing the faint surprise and love on Yami's face, Hestia suddenly showed a smug smile.
"It's amazing, Hestia-sama, I admit that I had a bad attitude before, your cooking skills are the best I have ever tasted, you may be able to open a restaurant, when the time comes, the 'abundant hostess' will not be your competitor~"
"Hehe~Of course!"
After being praised, Hestia's twin ponytails almost went up to the sky.
"However, I don't want to impose my expertise on the children of the Familia. How to make a profit depends on their own ideas. No matter what I do, I will support it to the end."
"Hestia-sama, you are really a considerate god."
"Of course, after all, I treat all the children as Familia members, so Yami-kun, if you want to consider changing your familia, I will treat you well~"
"Forget it, I still like the Hephaestus Familia, not to mention, if I really choose to change my familia, no matter if it is me or Hestia-sama, you will definitely be killed by the Hephaestus-sama first."
After Yami's reminder, Hestia really shrank her neck.
Goddess Loli seemed to have thought of bad memories of the past in her mind, and immediately nodded with lingering fear: "In that case, let's forget it."
"However, Hestia-sama or something sounds too foreign. You have helped me so much and brought me so many excellent children. I am very grateful to you. From now on, you can call me Hestia. Come on Yami-kun, this is a license from the gods herself, were is your gratitude?!"
Yami almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the proud words of the other party.
Fortunately, in the end he held back as much as possible.
"Haa haaa, I will cherish this honor, please teach me more in the future, Hestia."
"Hehe~"
Happy times are always short.
Being alone with Hestia made Yami feel a joy that he hadn't felt for a long time, just like meeting a girl he liked when he was in school in his previous life.
That kind of heartbeat is probably the beauty of the first love!
The sun slowly set from the west, and the whole of Orario fell into the noise of the night again.
Yami called everyone in the Familia, including members of the Hestia Familia, and the two goddesses sat on the left and right sides of the head seat, and below them were all adventurers from the two families
He didn't reveal the reason for the banquet, but everyone ate very happily.
After a long meal and a short rest, everyone began to clean up the mess together. Everyone was satisfied with the cooking tonight, especially the logistics staff of Hephaestus Familia.
If they can taste this level of delicacies occasionally in the future, it seems that it would be good for the other party to stay here.
Poor Goddess Hephaestus, she doesn't know that her child has been bought by a meal.
After the banquet, Yami appeared in his room. Besides him, the Hestia and Hephaestus were also here, and there were many members behind the two goddesses.
After coming to Orario for a few days, they also wanted to go back and see their friends and families.
For this, it was easy to get permission.
But the only downside is probably that the room in Yami, which is not particularly spacious, becomes very crowded, and there is no place to stay at all.
So, Yami was squeezed so close to the two goddesses.
Sniffing the body fragrance that was close at hand, this made the old virgin of two generations feel distracted for a while, but after seeing the meaningful smile of Hephaestus, he immediately coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Ahem, then, I'm going to open the door to the other world, let's go."
As he said that, Yami activated the key of the gate of the world of Demon Slayer World, and the familiar portal reappeared. The golden light almost made people unable to open their eyes. Even the two goddesses showed surprise expressions.
There is really no way to see through the power contained in it!
Not only that, an idea appeared in their hearts, even if they unsealed their divine power, they probably would not be able to figure out the power contained in the magical world gate in front of them. This is beyond their ability!
This little guy is really quite mysterious!
Having the same thought in their hearts, Hephaestus and Hestia looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning in the other's expression, but they didn't say it out of their mouths.
There are some mysteries, and it will be more fascinating to slowly uncover them!
"My lord, Hestia, you can reach another world through this door, let's go."
"Um!"
The two goddesses nodded and followed Yami into the 'Gate of the World'. The others followed suit and disappeared into the portal one after another.
Until the last person disappears, the door to the world closes slowly and finally disappears into the room.
The visions that appeared during this period did not cause any reaction, and the gods of Orario did not notice any abnormality in the Hephaestus Familia.
