"Wait... Did you just say I'm injured?"
Lifting his head, Yuki frowned beneath his mask; he had caught some keywords.
"That's right, my Champion. Your injuries are quite serious, aren't they? Did you perhaps get hurt by a twist of fate? Unfortunately, I can't heal injuries related to the Light of Destiny, so I can't help you with that... But don't worry, I'm sure your Crown will soon heal you, no... in fact, it's healing you right now."
Thumbs up, Hestia stuck out her tongue. She, like Loki, could see that Yuki was incomplete, but unlike Loki, she could notice it due to their connection. However, it was a pity; although she wanted to help, Hestia couldn't intervene with Destiny. Fortunately, Champions were of the same light, so Yuki could recover naturally over time, thanks to his Crown. That's why Hestia thought Yuki was taking a vacation.
Being a Champion isn't easy, and Hestia knew that. However, her divine power was sealed, so all Hestia could do was pamper him until he recovered. Fortunately for both of them, even incomplete, Yuki was strong, so there was no problem if he could do the tasks of an adventurer while recovering.
(My dear golden goose, I hope you recover soon.)
With a worried expression on her face, Hestia hugged Yuki, who didn't know what to think.
Because if he knew what Hestia was thinking, for sure, he would run into Loki's arms to avoid a pain in the butt.
But conversely, he wouldn't take long to come back. After all, Yuki liked trouble, so having a lazy Goddess in the family wasn't a big deal.
"You know... I won't ask anymore... It's better to wait for Hephaestus-sama."
Rolling his eyes, Yuki moved away from Hestia. Although he was curious about why Hestia said he was injured, he didn't care much. With Rasiel in his possession, he could find out later.
"Ehhh~ don't go... Come on."
"I'm not a child, you know?"
"Yes, you are... Oh? That reminds me, my Champion, did you become a progenitor?"
Tilting her head, only now did Hestia remember something important. After all, when she met Yuki, he wasn't a progenitor, although she wanted to ask before, she couldn't because of Loki.
"Well, many things happened."
Shrugging, Yuki looked at Inori, at the same time taking her hand. This girl was responsible for this.
"Hm? Is that so? Well, it doesn't matter."
Although Hestia was curious, in the end, she decided not to ask. If Yuki didn't want to say, she wouldn't press him.
*Bam!*
But as they had this conversation, the door swung open.
"We need to leave quickly!"
Entering like an eagle, Hephaestus looked at the group; she was very nervous and somewhat rushed.
"What's wrong, Hephaestus?"
Tilting her head, Hestia looked at her friend, who was now in a panic.
"What's wrong?! What's wrong?! What's wrong is that the news of Yuki-kun has spread throughout Orario! Right now, those Goddesses are coming here!"
Remembering the predatory look of Demeter and the group of Goddesses, Hephaestus swallowed hard.
(Just hope Freya hasn't come yet!) Crossing her fingers for good luck, Hephaestus didn't want that troublesome Goddess from Babel Tower to come to her family, after all, she has the strongest family in Orario.
"That was fast!"
Even Yuki was surprised by this because if he remembered correctly, the bar owner knocked everyone out to prevent this.
But Yuki strongly underestimated how quickly gossip spreads.
However, this gossip was accompanied by something else since Loki would soon cry blood for this.
"What do we do?! I don't want to see those annoying Goddesses anymore!"
With a pale face, even Hestia was afraid. After all, it was a headache when these Goddesses bothered her. Back then, she made the excuse that Yuki hadn't arrived yet, but now the excuses were over.
"We have to leave! Don't worry; I have a place where they won't bother you... For now."
Fortunately, Hephaestus was reliable because knowing about the news through her children, Hephaestus took quick action, looking for a place where Hestia and her family could spend the night.
Otherwise, her family would be assaulted by those annoying Goddesses. Hephaestus even feared that once they entered, those Goddesses wouldn't want to leave.
"Thank you, Hephaestus-sama."
Looking at her with gratitude, Yuki had the impulse to change families.

(TN: Do it ong Hephasteus so much better)

"Don't worry about it."
Without wasting any more time, Hephaestus kicked them out of her family. Despite having just arrived, Hestia and her family seemed to have been kicked out of Hephaestus's family as if they were the plague. Even Inori felt a little bad about how quickly they were kicked out, but there was nothing to be done; Yuki also didn't want to use his powers and hit everyone.
They are Gods!
And even though they now had their powers sealed, Yuki didn't want to underestimate them, not to mention that they saw him favorably.
As they say, you can't hit those who treat you well, just like a famous actor and singer who couldn't hit their fans.
That's why Yuki bowed his head and followed Hephaestus.
(At least I'm running for a good reason.)
Consoling himself with that, Yuki felt a little better because he didn't hate the Gods; rather, he was grateful to them.
Taking various detours and hiding from the crowd, they reached their destination.
"All right, I'm sure in this place, they won't be able to bother you... For now."
"Are you joking, right?"
Opening her mouth in shock, Hestia looked at her friend, who now had a dazzling smile as if to say 'Aren't I cool?'
On the other hand, Inori began to have strong doubts about whether coming to this world was the right choice. After all, in front of them was an old abandoned church in very bad condition. Even with a little effort, this church would fall.
Even though Hestia and Inori were against it, Yuki was the opposite. Since he could see through Hephaestus's plan, nodding approvingly, Yuki gave Hephaestus a thumbs up.
"Hephaestus-sama, you're brilliant."
"Am I not? Hump, even I surprise myself sometimes."
With both hands on her hips, Hephaestus raised her face proudly. Needless to say, she liked Yuki's comment.
Hestia and Inori, on the other hand, just rolled their eyes. They couldn't see anything brilliant about living in such a dirty and neglected church.
However, for better or for worse, this church was good camouflage. After all, no one would think that a legendary figure like a Champion would stay in such a place, dirty and dilapidated.
Inori even noticed that the beggars had a better place to stay.
That's why Yuki didn't complain; instead, he was grateful for how quickly Hephaestus managed the situation. At least it would take some time before the Gods found out about their whereabouts.
(Hephaestus-sama, I promise to repay this debt in the future.)
Muttering to himself, Yuki decided that he had to repay this debt. Hestia was his Goddess, so Yuki thought he should stand up for her. With what Hephaestus did for Hestia before he arrived in this world, Yuki was at a loss for words. Hephaestus was a good friend, as well as a great Goddess.
