Chapitre 207: Hostess Fertility
After returning to the cozy inn, Yui couldn't wait to see the results of her adventures in the Dungeon today. Bursting with excitement, she immediately ran to the table in the corner of the room, where Noah was sitting calmly, waiting for their return.
"Papa, please update my Falna! I want to see how much Exilia I earned today!" Yui pleaded, her eyes sparkling.
Noah smiled gently, "Yui, calm down. Let's check your progress. Have a seat here."
Yui obediently sat down on the sofa, lying back to reveal the Falna engraved on her skin.
Carefully, Noah took a needle from the table. Without hesitation, he pricked his own finger, letting a drop of his bright, golden blood fall onto Yui's Falna. As soon as the blood touched it, ripples of light appeared, and the previously faint Falna began to shine brightly.
Once the status was updated, Noah placed a blank piece of paper over the Falna and translated it into a language that Yui and the others could understand.
In an instant, the paper filled with striking information. In the top right corner, the emblem of the Vermilion Familia glowed, depicting a circular line like a serpent chasing its tail, with a magnificent spear standing in the center, surrounded by intricate lines.

Yui was mesmerized by the numbers displayed on her Falna. "Wow, Papa! This is amazing! I can't believe I got such a huge increase in just one day!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with wonder.
"Your hard work in the Dungeon today really paid off," Noah said, observing Yui's Falna with pride. "You fought hard, and your skills are developing rapidly."
Yui nodded, a bright smile unchanging on her face. "Yes, I'm so happy to be able to help Mama and Yuuki-neesan. With your blessing, we will surely level up quickly!"
"So who's next?" Noah asked Asuna and Yuuki.
"Let Yuuki go first," Asuna said while helping Yui tidy up her clothes.
"O...okay..." Yuuki stammered, her face turning red at the thought of showing her back to a boy. Even though it wasn't her first time, it still made the young girl feel shy.
Carefully, she opened her clothing while Noah turned his gaze to the opposite side of Yuuki. Yuuki, dressed modestly, lay back on the sofa, nervously exposing only her back.
"Noah, you can turn around," Yuuki said softly.
"Alright, let's get started," Noah said once he saw that Yuuki was ready. Just like before, he pricked his finger with the needle, allowing a drop of blood to fall onto Yuuki's back. Subtle ripples spread out, clearly revealing Yuuki's Falna, and Noah copied it without hesitation.

Yui jumped off the sofa, bursting with excitement after seeing Yuuki's progress. "Yuuki-neesan! You're amazing! Your Exilia increased so much!" she shouted with overflowing joy. Yuuki smiled shyly, but it was clear she felt proud of her achievement.
Yui bounced around, eager to see Asuna's progress next. "Now it's Mama's turn! Mama, come on!" Yui yelled, her eyes shining with enthusiasm.
Asuna, who was fixing her hair, smiled gently at her daughter's spirit. "Alright, dear. Let's see how much I gained today," she said, a bit nervous but trying to remain calm.
With steady steps, Asuna walked to the sofa. She confidently removed her cloak, revealing her elegant back, full of assurance.
"Noah, I'm ready," Asuna said in a calm voice, trying to hide her own excitement.
Noah nodded, and once again, the atmosphere in the room turned serious. He took the needle and pricked his finger, letting a drop of his glistening blood fall onto Asuna's back. The light began to spread, forming an amazing ripple, and in an instant, Asuna's Falna was clearly revealed.
**Name**: Asuna

As Noah placed a blank piece of paper over Asuna's Falna, Yui couldn't contain her excitement. "Mama! Your numbers are so high! You're amazing!"
Asuna turned to her daughter and smiled, her heart filled with pride and love. "Thank you, Yui. Don't worry, Mama will protect you while exploring the Dungeon."
"With all this power, we can definitely explore deeper into the Dungeon!" Yui exclaimed, excitedly imagining all the adventures they would undertake.
"Noah... Noah! You're forming your own Familia with some members, why not let one of them join my Familia?" Hestia's voice chimed in as the door swung open. Since their first meeting, even though Noah had arranged accommodation for Hestia and left her some Valis, Hestia frequently came to him for meals, so their relationship quickly became close and friendly.
"Stop causing trouble, Hestia. There's no way I'm giving them to you. They are my family," Noah replied helplessly, looking at Hestia's sad face.
"But Noah, you have to help me find someone to join, to silence that flat-chested girl," Hestia said angrily, thinking about a certain flat-chested figure who arrogantly insulted her for being poor and having no Familia.
"Y-yeah..." Noah replied absentmindedly.
"Noah, that's very careless," Hestia said, dissatisfied.
"By the way, Noah, aren't you going to take us out for dinner at that famous tavern in Orario?" Yuuki said, changing the subject.
Hearing that she could eat for free at the famous tavern in Orario, Hestia immediately forgot about her plea for a member of Noah's Familia. Of course, she wasn't serious about asking for a member of Noah's Familia.
Meanwhile, at Twilight Manor, a certain flat-chested goddess mentioned by Hestia suddenly sneezed.
"Is that shorty talking bad about me?" Loki mumbled.
...
After leaving the simple yet cozy inn and walking for some time, Noah and the others stood in front of a bustling tavern. Above the entrance hung a sign reading "Hostess of Fertility." The lively sounds of adventurers chatting and laughing could be heard even before they stepped inside. A strong aroma of wine and various delicious foods wafted through the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Hostess of Fertility is one of the famous taverns in Orario, known for its delectable dishes and beautiful waitresses ready to welcome every visitor.
As night fell, the adventurers wrapped up their day in the dungeon and began their hour of entertainment. Consequently, many taverns were packed with patrons, and Hostess of Fertility was no exception.
Upon entering the tavern, Noah and the others were greeted by the noisy ambiance and bustle. Almost all the tables were filled, with only a few empty seats remaining. Without further ado, Noah stepped inside with Asuna and the others. Inside, they could hear various cheerful conversations.
"Ryuu, four spicy noodles for table number five, please!" shouted a waitress.
"Hey, do you know what I did last night?" someone called from another corner.
"What did you say, you bastard!" another adventurer cursed from the tavern.
"I blew the minotaur's head off with one punch!" shouted one adventurer, followed by laughter and jeers, as everyone knew he was just a level 1 adventurer and was clearly exaggerating.
The sound of clinking wine glasses toasting added to the lively atmosphere. Throughout the tavern, many adventurers enjoyed their food and drink, sharing tales of their adventures. Two catgirls served as waitresses, while an expressionless elf attended to the customers quietly.
Noah led Asuna and the others to an empty table in the corner of the tavern, away from the hustle and bustle.
"Hello, dear customer, what would you like to order?"
As soon as they sat down, Anya approached them, asking for their order in her signature style. Her cheerful voice made the atmosphere even more vibrant.
Noah observed Anya. She had brown hair and eyes, along with cat ears and a tail of the same color. She wore the uniform of the Hostess of Fertility.
Noah smiled and replied, "We'd like some special dishes and a bottle of wine, please."
Anya nodded enthusiastically, "Alright! I will bring your order shortly!"
After Anya left, Noah glanced at Hestia. "This place is always lively. Have you been here before?"
Hestia shook her head, "No, this is my first time. But the atmosphere is very enjoyable."
"Yes, indeed, it's quite lively here," Asuna said, looking around and noticing that every waitress had a strong aura, even stronger than the adventurers present.
"Noah, are the waitresses here also adventurers? Why do they seem so strong?" Asuna asked.
"They used to be adventurers, and they are quite strong, with at least level 4," Noah explained the situation at Hostess of Fertility.
Not long after, Anya returned with a tray full of dishes. The tempting aroma of the food made them all hungrier. There were spicy noodles, roasted meat, and fresh vegetables beautifully arranged on the table.
"Here's your order, hope you enjoy it!" Anya said with a wide smile.
They immediately began to enjoy the meal. Each bite was delicious, and the light conversation among them made the evening even more memorable. During their chat, Noah also introduced Hestia to Asuna and the others.
Of course, Noah and the others listened to Hestia's complaints about why no one wanted to join her Familia.
The reason adventurers were hesitant to join Hestia's Familia was that there were no senior members to guide them through the Dungeon. Everyone knew that the dungeon was extremely dangerous, and since each Falna given by a god was essentially the same, they would naturally prefer to join established Familias with senior members to minimize the risks faced in the dungeon rather than joining a new Familia like Hestia's, which had yet to be formed.
After some time, they decided to order again, this time adding a few desserts. Anya quickly noted their order and went to prepare it.
"Noah, help me convince those beginners... uh, I mean, persuade those newbies to join my Familia," Hestia said.
Noah looked at the goddess without saying a word.
"Alright, I'll help," Noah said as he recalled a small figure with a big bag slung over her shoulder.
While they chatted, Anya returned with the desired desserts. She placed a plate of sweet cakes in the center of the table, and the sweet aroma made everyone smile.
"Enjoy your meal!" Anya cheerfully announced.
They devoured the cakes, which were delicious and left them feeling satisfied. The atmosphere grew even more cheerful as they shared stories about their experiences in the dungeon and plans for their next adventures.
After a while, as the night grew late, they decided to head home. Noah nodded at Anya as a sign of thanks, and Anya responded with a warm smile.
"Thank you for coming! Hope to see you again!" she called out as they stepped out of the tavern.
