At first, Est didn't pay much attention to the floating screen. Although there were several key points in it, she preferred to keep sleeping. However, she couldn't sleep...
The light from the screen in front of her kept her awake. She tried to dismiss it, but she couldn't. A week passed in a struggle between her and this holographic screen.
With no other option, she carefully read the content of the screen, and with each word, her curiosity grew.
"True Master? Home? Champion?"
Est had many doubts about this, but in the end, she gave in. With no purpose sealed in this abandoned sanctuary and the holographic screen being too bothersome, she reluctantly pressed [Yes], hoping for a different future. She disappeared from the forest.
(Yes... my true Master)
Est knew it. The moment the man in front of her held her in his hands, she understood what the world was trying to tell her.
This man was different from other Elementalists. He might be able to withstand her curse.
Without hesitation, she responded to the spiritual pulse, accepting the contract.
And being within Yuki, she was content. Her home was warmer and brighter than she expected.

*Creakkk*
But while Est was lost in her thoughts, a sharp noise sounded. Breaking the spoon in her hands, Mana was at her limit. Est's confession was too much, and she was extremely jealous of Est being with Yuki 24/7, bound at a soul level. She even regretted not having the same position if she hadn't joined Inori. Thus, her jealousy reached the sky.
"Hiikk"
So much so that even Hestia, who was beside her, squealed in terror. However, soon her murderous intent disappeared as Inori regained control.
Who just looked at Est for a moment before taking another spoon and continuing her meal. She had already started to consider Est as her new 'sister'.
"Thank you... I guess."
Trying to change the conversation, Yuki turned his head; otherwise, Mana might go crazy. Although Est bowed her head, Yuki didn't continue questioning.
"Oh! Now that I remember... Hestia, you haven't given your blessing to Inori yet."
"Of... Of course... I will."
With several cold sweat drops running down her face, Hestia's mouth trembled.
And she wondered if having this girl in her family was a good idea. Although having Yuki as her sugar son was good, Hestia had to watch her back from now on, especially now that Inori could keep growing and becoming more powerful.
"But, my Champion, you are very lucky. Having a contracted Sword Spirit is very rare. Even a Grand Spirit like her, I must say... As expected of you, my Champion."
Trying to lighten the atmosphere again, Hestia ate faster. But her words left Yuki in deep thought.
(Luck?)

"Let's begin, Inori-chan... Show me your back."
After learning about Inori's double personality and her circumstances, Hestia attended, satisfied. Her fear towards her disappeared, but she was still cautious since Mana could appear at any moment. However, Inori also told her that she would try to control her other 'self,' bringing some relief. After all, there was someone to hold the leash on the crazy one.
"Yes."
Taking off the upper part of her suit, Inori didn't hesitate to show her beautiful, slender skin.
(Tch..)
This made Hestia click her tongue in envy since Inori's skin was very beautiful and smooth.
"Here we go."
Pricking her finger with a needle, Hestia proceeded to give her blessing. At the same time, a flame-shaped tattoo appeared on Inori's back.

Reading Inori's status, Hestia was a bit surprised. Her parameters started with 'H' instead of 'I.' As expected of a progenitor, they were at the top of the food chain from the start. Not to mention the class 'S' skills in her status, Hestia could confirm that Inori was a world-class threat to the inhabitants of this world. As expected of a Hero, she was quite broken, but Hestia also doubted. With those deceptively named skills, Inori seemed more like a villain than a hero.
"It's your turn, my Champion."
Handing over the status sheet for Inori to read, Hestia looked at Yuki with enlightened eyes. This is what she wanted to see. Since they met, she hadn't updated his status, and she wanted to know how much he had grown.
"Alright."
Nodding, Yuki did the same, showing his back. After all, he was curious too.

Reading each of his parameters, Hestia opened her mouth. All of them, except for 'Elementalist,' were insane. Not to mention those with '???' in his status; Hestia could see that those abilities were strong beyond measure.
In two short years, Yuki had grown so much, and his abilities were too many.
(Incredible... Is this a Champion?)
Hestia had no doubt that Yuki's parameters exceeded those of a Hero; he was someone who had saved the world, and his parameters were exceptionally high. However, this also made Hestia raise an eyebrow in doubt.
(Seduction? My Champion... You...)
Looking at an ability that shouldn't exist in his status, Hestia viewed Yuki with different eyes. He was a boy, but his skill in that area was considerable.
Yet, this was natural. Since childhood, he had been honing that skill daily, with Tsunade, Hinata, Hanabi, Shizune, Ino, and even with a few kunoichi he encountered along the way.
But this was something Hestia didn't know. For her, Yuki was an innocent child, but now, with that ability, Hestia didn't know what to think.
"Everything okay?"
Feeling something amiss, Yuki turned his head, looking at his goddess.
"Yes, yes, everything's fine... Here's your status."
Handing over his status sheet, Hestia pondered deeply. The boy in front of her was a box of surprises. She didn't know which path he would take or what he would do in the future. However, whatever he did, he was destined to leave his mark on the world.
