"Sora-kun, hurry up and leave!"
"Wow, Hestia-sama, don't be in a hurry, you were late in the morning for a long time, why are you blaming me now!"
Sora, dressed in casual clothes, was dragged out of the church by Hestia with a helpless expression on his face.
"Hehe, I don't care. It's all your fault. You made such a delicious breakfast that I ended up forgetting the time. Today I will be scolded by the boss!"
Probably thinking that she would be deducted from her salary, Hestia's cheeks suddenly puffed up.
After hearing her words, Sora rolled his eyes angrily. Even his daily salary was considered very low. Even if she deducted a little more, it seemed like it would be fine.
Speaking of which, the "capitalists" of Orario seem to treat the gods like cheap labor.
With infinite longevity, ignorant of world affairs, and lacking bargaining skills, they are simply the most perfect workers.
Under Hestia's leadership, they walked for a long distance and finally arrived at a vegetable market.
You could say it's extraordinarily lively here. People coming and going, walking around the vegetable market, can hear various noises and bargaining sounds from time to time, one after another, and it is very lively.
"I found it!"
Hestia shouted, then waved and ran quickly.
Following his instructions, Sora also looked over and saw a male god wearing a loose white kimono with two potato balls on his head, diligently preparing various tools.
In front of him, there was a small potato ball stall.
With the male god's constant movements, the small potato ball on his head also continued to tremble. With this appearance, if placed on a cute girl like Hestia, it can still make people feel very cute, but if it is on a man... the image is really strange.
"Hestia, it's you, why are you thinking of coming to my booth today? Isn't it supposed to be work time? Don't you want your salary anymore? Besides, this is..."
Upon hearing the familiar scream, Takemikazuchi slowly raised his head with a slight smile on his face.
Puff! Not to mention that Hestia felt that her heart had been severely beaten when she mentioned this matter, and she had already seen her own Valis slipping from her eyes.
For a time, Hestia's color turned gray.
Seeing this scene, Sora could only take matters into his own hands, "It's our first time meeting, Takemikazuchi-sama, let me introduce myself. My name is Sora, from the Hestia family. I was the one who asked Hestia-sama to take me to see you. Please don't be offended."
"Eh? Did Hestia raise a family?" Takemikazuchi was a little surprised and blurted out a sentence unconsciously.
Another arrow went through the heart, and Hestia was already half-kneeling on the ground.
Invisible complaints are the deadliest, not to mention casual complaints from friends, which are often the deadliest weapon. These words from people who are extremely familiar with you make you want to refute them, but you can't.
"Sorry, I was a little rude. So Sora, what do you need?"
Upon hearing this, Sora didn't care about Hestia's appearance which looked like a defeated dog, and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I heard that Takemikazuchi-sama is a god of war, so I wanted to learn some fighting skills by your side."
"Huh?!" Takemikazuchi showed a surprised look upon hearing Sora's request.
Immediately afterward, there was silence, his eyebrows furrowed and his face was full of hesitation. From the expression, it was very difficult for Takemikazuchi to make a choice.
As Hestia's friend, he felt he should help.
However, his family knew about his affairs. His family was big, but it lacked strength. The entire family was made up of a large number of poor orphans.
Even if they receive the falna, the income they receive from going to the dungeon is very limited.
If he spends more time teaching Sora, Takemikazuchi will not have time to complete his daily work, his income will decrease again, and the entire family's life may become more difficult.
That's why Takemikazuchi was hesitant.
However, after thinking for a while, he finally nodded, "I see, this isn't difficult for me, I agree to your request! However, let's start tomorrow since today's work has already started."
"Really? Thank you very much, Takemikazuchi-sama, although this sentence is a bit absurd, in the future, I will compensate for the economic losses caused to you, although you and Hestia-sama are good friends, I don't want to cause you any trouble Because of my reasons, please don't refuse."
"That's right, Takemikazuchi, accept it!"
Hestia had already returned to normal.
She and Takemikazuchi looked at each other. After years of friendship, just one look can make the other party understand what he meant, which made Takemikazuchi's original plan to reject the words stillborn.
"Okay, then I will accept it bluntly!"
"That's great! Takemikazuchi, you're so kind, thank you for your help!" Hestia jumped with joy upon hearing Takemikazuchi's response, and this excitement also spread to the two people next to her.
Sora and Takemikazuchi looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
