Chapter 13: Interesting Life of the Great Pallum.
We left Babel at night and went to the guild to make our team official, that night Lili was too tired due to the excessive use of potions, so we moved the celebration of the creation of our team to the next day in a certain pub related to the Freya family.
When I woke up it was already noon, I had to wake up Lili who was still tired, for us to eat, having done that I warned her that she would go to my workshop and that she should not use magic or [skills] before recovering.
On this day I received an order for a second class saber from the apollo family... I gave an undefined date in the next two weeks and continued creating third-class pieces.
I returned home after leaving the pieces at the store in babel and took Lili shopping, I easily convinced her to use the money she earned by exterminating the monsters on the first four floors to dress less 'flashy' saying that I would take her to dinner at a fancy place in the future.
I also convinced her to live in my guest room and furnish it, treating my house as her own.
The sight of us walking around carrying a big bag of groceries and furniture on our backs was fun.
Later we went to the Hostess of Fertility, as soon as we sat down we were greeted by a black cat with a book smile reminding me who she was I wasn't surprised to see her tail curling up when she saw me and the nyas at the end of her sentences.
"Welcome adventurers-sama, what would you like to order?" (NYA!)
"Well let me see... Fruit bread- Noodles- Grilled fish- The special of the day and a Good wine, and whatever my beautiful companion asks for!"
"Oh nya?" She spoke with curiosity looking at Lili
"I want chicken legs and roast beef, and something light to drink," Lili said.
"Understood"
"Wait, I want a salad, too"
"I'm going nya"
"So how was your day Lili?" 'you know that the sight of aura makes your eyes shine don't you?, they are beautiful hehe'
"Eep, my day was great Sinn, I read a lot today" 'you shouldn't tease me hunf!, I accidentally used it when I was looking for which book to read, (Big villain Sinn)' she said teasing me through the body's childhood thoughts in the books where she probably used psychometry.
"Well, I just hope you didn't try too hard" 'I was just worried you'd pull yourself too hard, after all it's your first time using [Psionic] and he was weakened by not being together'.
Chloe arrived just then with the food, along with her came to Syr carrying more trays.
'Lili turn off the aura vision now!, you also shouldn't show discomfort just look cautious, I trust you Lili' I said because Syr's aura vision is probably even more uncomfortable than Chloe's.
"Thank you, ladies, good job I'll call if I need more or pay the bill" I said dismissing them.
"Well Lili, let's celebrate!"
So I indicated that we clap our mugs.
"For our first adventure!" x2
"To Belle Fatale, goblin, and kobold slayer Lili!
...and we celebrate...
----------------------
It had been a week since Lili and I had lived together, we had reached the sixth floor now that Lili had mastered the basics and we helped each other in combat training, magic, and reading books, sharing our acquired knowledge with [Psionic], her focusing on the library books and training me in weapons and magic items, getting techniques from level two, three and rare level four adventurers who asked me for third and second class items.
Then I got a visitor.
Tsubaki came to my house to complain about two certain red-haired blacksmiths, one who didn't come to pay respects to the captain and one who doesn't want to use all his power to become a better blacksmith, and of course, she came to ask me for a drink because Hephaestus-sama decided to tell her that I could introduce the 'new' family member to her even at my house...
Aaaaand of course, she entered the house and tried to force me to hand over the 'newbie' doing the obvious, grabbing me, almost missing me, and getting surprised at my progress over the last few weeks.
"Sinn, you really got strong, but it's not enough to run away from your Taichou"
"Taichou I can't go with you today, I've got a cute teammate, and we're going to a date today, soo..."
"So Sinn now that he's got a cute girl for his 'family' doesn't want his 'one-chan' anymore huh? Seems like it was last month, that little Sinn was being shy with Hephaestus-sama and his One-chan for wanting to come in in the Hephaestus Family to have a 'family'." Tsubaki spoke aloud feigning sadness as she let go of me.
"So Tsubaki, about the new family member...well it's just an identity to conceal my transformation magic, I'm sorry but don't have any newbies besides me for you to tease"
"Huh? did you get a new spell? or was that your contract spell?"
"Well... it's complicated, but since Hephaestus-sama sent you to come then I can tell you."
Then Lili came into the room.
"Sinn, who is she?" Lili
"Hello little girl, I'm Tsubaki, the captain of the Hephaestus family, Sinn is this your "kawaii biyöjo" companion?"
"This is Liliruca, my cuddlicious party member, Captain"
"Liliruca-chan nice to meet you, I hope Sinn didn't give you too much trouble, or do something weird while you were sleeping"
"Well, Sinn helped me a lot, though he made me faint and kidnapped me when I asked to be his Supporter"
"Huh?" Tsubaki spoke in surprise
Realizing that his attempt at embarrassing me/revenge was working she continued.
"And he also purposely embarrassed me, attacked me when I was off guard and licked me on the neck and teased me, and after that made me ask him to dress me... and then he did all this for when we were in the dungeon I had to prance my butt for him to open my pants so I could put on my tail when I transform and he made me accept a permanent contract that connects our souls for eternity!" She counted slowly shifting from anger to dreamy blushed with a hand in her chin.
"Sinn brat! did you reject this older sister's advances to go and harass and 'win' over a helpless little girl?" Tsubaki spoke half angrily and half-joking.
"Exactly!" I spoke like a warrior who conquered the holy land.
"Don't worry Tsubaki-sama, Sinn and Lili did the exact same thing, only Sinn won Lili's heart, but I've won this war from the beginning" Lili told me Looking down at me with a proud face.
"Lili-chan, since you are my kouhai's girl, you can call me One-san ok? And you Sinn you better take care of Liliruca-chan or if you don't I'm going to reforge your sword into a scabbard with my hammer!" She spoke the last part putting a hand on my shoulder and making a scary voice.
"Don't worry Tsubaki, I swore I won't let Lili down, she's been the one in my heart longer than she can imagine"
"It better be!"
"So, about your transformation?"
So I turned into a quiet kid Lavi without hesitation, having made expandable clothes that just make me look "fresh" and don't crush my nuts.
"How about it looks cute and dangerous? but Hephaestus-sama should really look suspicious like a man right?"
"Cough cough, Sinn be more respectful to the Megami..." Tsubaki spoke before putting a hand to her forehead, probably thinking about the other red-haired blacksmith and his goddess.
"Sinn looks like such a bad boy" Lili said thoughtfully.
"Did I mention that this body also makes me want to attack cute girls?"
"Kyaaa help me One-san!" Lili yelled as I walked over to her.
Tsubaki tried to hold me but I reversed the transformation and hugged Lili.
"Like I'm never going to let someone else's body touch my Lili-sama, well, even if that body is actually mine transformed into the form Hephaestus received from someone who transformed into his male form? now?..." I spoke when thinking about the paradoxical paradoxes...
"Well, really impressive that someone only fourteen can be considered a high blacksmith, even if they are "cheating", but I believe we should use everything at our disposal, whether in blacksmithing or in love" Tsubaki said looking at us teasingly.
AN: {Lili is smart, she obviously noticed the obvious, plus she got [Psionic] and Sinn told her about how abilities work on purpose, so she saw the memories in the items he made for her before she even put a target on him, and can use aura vision to see Sinn's emotions, knowing he tried so hard for her even though she is a "criminal scum" and wanted to steal/betray him and that he really loves her. Lili was happy about it. (She obviously also understood the master plan and that this (understanding the plan) is also part of the plan and resigned herself to having won the war with her "charm")}
"So Sinn I have a favor to ask of you, of course it won't go unrewarded." Tsubaki says.
"What do you need Tsubaki, I'll help you as long as it doesn't get in the way of training too much"
"You just need to help me raise a stubborn family member, I'm afraid he'll waste too much time or his life because of his ghost from the past."
"Is it the Crozzo boy?, if so, there's no need to worry so much, but he really can be reckless and not use magic weapons even if he's in danger... I can use my hammer to put some motivation into his mind, and warn him not to. be very proud."
"Alright Sinn, thanks"
"Not a problem, he's also interesting, Hephaestus-sama's favorite boy hmm... also he has the love of another goddess in him, yet unfortunately she seems to have returned to heaven."
"Hahaha, Sinn you know too much" Tsubaki spoke with a strange smile.
"Knowledge is never enough Tsubaki, although I don't know who said it before me..."
