Chapitre 131: No need to worry, Bell
"Are those two your weapons, Isao-kun?"
Hestia looked at the one-handed pole axe and saber placed on the table.
"Yup." Isao didn't look at Hestia when he answered her question since he was making breakfast and also lunch for the two of them.
As the sun began to rise, Isao, filled with the anticipation of his first day as an adventurer, was up and about to start his day. However, he found Hestia still sleeping in his arms, so he gently moved her back to bed.
He would be lying if he wasn't excited since, like any boy, how could one not be excited to become an adventurer who fought against a monster?
As someone who lived in the modern world and worked in front of a computer screen all the time, there was this wild nature inside him that wanted to use a sword and slay a slime or a goblin.
Why not a dragon?
Be realistic, okay?
Moreover, hunting a dragon wasn't exactly profitable, especially when one had to count the consumptions that one had to pay when they hunted such a strong monster; there was also the need to divide the income as it was impossible to hunt a dragon alone; there was also a tax; and many other things.
Anyway, after Isao finished cooking his breakfast and answered his questions, Hestia was curious about his choice of weapon.
"I am going to the guild after this."
"Okay, good luck. Focus on your safety, okay?"
"Thanks." Isao nodded, then took out a piece of paper and wrote something with a feather pen he bought previously. "By the way, can you buy some ingredients later, Hestia?"
"Okay." Hestia had to admit that Isao's food tasted so good~! It was the most delicious one that she had ever tasted! Moreover, it gave her a comforting and warm feeling, which she loved so much~! "By the way, do you cook often?"
"I have a food-related business back at home."
"Oh? Then, you should be able to talk well with Demeter."
Considering his food hobby, Hestia thought that Isao would be suitable to become part of the Demeter Familia.
"Well, I plan to join Demeter Familia before."
"What?! You can't! You are already mine!" Hestia quickly leaped to him, hugged him tightly, and didn't let him go since she didn't want him to join the Demeter Familia!
Yes, her relationship with Demeter was good, but it didn't mean that she could give her Isao!
"That was before, but I met you, and of course, I won't move out from your Familia."
His words, expressions, and everything.
All of those expressed that he didn't lie and told the truth, which made her so moved.
"Isao-kun..."
Still, Isao thought that he should visit the Demeter Familia in the future.
Ah, he was just curious about the farms and what kind of plants and fruits they planted.
He might also discuss the problem of harvest, crops, and many others, but this was definitely for research purposes, and there were no other hidden meanings.
Definitely.
However, as he looked at Hestia, he had to admit that she was such a beauty, but then what about other goddesses?
"Wh-what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Hestia felt embarrassed when Isao kept staring at her.
"No, I just think that you are cute." Isao patted Hestia's head, then said, "Then, I will leave first. I have put the money there. You can use it later, Hestia."
"Okay~! Be careful~! Don't get hurt~!"
Hestia waved her hand and watched him wave his hand softly before he went on to the guild. Still, she suddenly realized something and quickly stopped him.
"Wait! Wait! You forgot your glasses!"
Anyway, as Isao had become more handsome, Hestia knew that he should protect his innocence well!
Still, the glasses matter aside, Isao arrived at the guild, and as expected, he saw Eina there, who appeared sharp and professional. Even if she was wearing a guild staff employee, it couldn't hide her beauty and shapely body.
Eina also noticed him and greeted him with a gentle smile. "Good morning, Iinuma-kun."
"Good morning, Tulle-san." Isao nodded softly, then said, "By the way, I have joined a Familia."
"Really? Which Familia? You are going to be an adventurer, right?
"Yes." Isao nodded and was about to say the details of his Familia, but then—
"Ah, Iinuma!"
Isao turned and raised his brows. "Cranel-san?"
"How do you do? Have you gotten a job?" Bell quickly asked, like a close friend who was worried about Isao.
Still, Isao wondered why this boy appeared so haughty for some reason. "Not yet. I am thinking of searching for information in the guild." However, he could tell that Bell didn't seem to be interested in him. Instead, Bell wanted him to ask about his situation as if Bell wanted to show off. "How about you?"
As expected, when Bell heard this question, his smile became so bright that everyone in this place could feel it. "I have joined the Freya Familia! Freya-sama has chosen me to become part of her Familia!"
"F-Freya Familia?"
"W-Wow..."
"I am so jealous!"
Those nearby were startled and surprised by they heard Bell's words.
Freya Familia.
As one of the strongest Familias, it was normal for everyone wishing to join this Familia, but more importantly, the goddess of this Familia, Freya, was the most beautiful woman in heaven!
She was so beautiful that she could charm anyone with just her presence.
Being chosen as part of that Familia, naturally, Bell was proud.
"Bell, what are you doing?! Hurry up!"
"Ah, sorry, sorry!" Bell quickly apologized to someone who was clearly his senior, then looked at Isao again with a bright smile. "Sorry, Iinuma. I will go first! See you!" When he talked with Isao, he might have noticed Eina, the beautiful half-elf guild staff, but compared to Freya's beauty, this woman was nothing!
Or rather, Bell was completely enraptured by Freya, and he was going to give his best for Freya!
Only Isao was speechless since he didn't expect Bell to join Freya Familia. Frankly, even though there was a chance for Bell to enter Freya Familia, as Freya had the ability to see the light of anyone's soul, Bell, who had a pure soul, would catch her interest.
If Isao wasn't wrong, this soul was the core of someone, and this was also the potential at how one could grow.
Yet, somehow, why did he feel that Bell's soul wasn't pure at all?
Moreover, Isao was speechless because of how smug Bell was, and at the same time, did this guy forget about the debt that he had on him?
Still, even though he was helpless, he was a kind guy, so there was nothing he could do. He had decided to let go of Bell's debt even if he knew that he would be at a loss.
'As expected, being a good guy is hard,' Isao lamented in his heart.
"What's with that guy? He is so vain!"
Isao glanced at Eina weirdly after she said those words with a furious expression.
Originally, the relationship between Bell and Eina was so close, and she would always take care of him dearly, so when Isao saw her annoyed expression, he realized that, as usual, he had changed the original plot, which made him quite helpless.
However, it didn't matter since he also wasn't sure about the plot, as it had been so long since he watched the story.
"He has become a member of Freya Familia, after all. Isn't it normal for him to be like that?" Isao said calmly.
"But even so, his attitude is so annoying!"
Watching how Bell wanted to show off in front of Isao as if he was better, Eina felt exasperated, and at the same time, she also asked, "You didn't tell him that you have become an adventurer?" She was curious since Isao didn't seem angry or trying to show off, trying to compete with Bell, who was the best.
"There is no need to. We're not that close, but thank you for getting angry in my place, Tulle-san," Isao said softly.
"No, no! You don't have to worry about that!" Somehow, Eina felt embarrassed, then coughed to hide her blush. Still, she had to say, Isao was quite different from a man that she had seen in her life.
As a guild employee, all the men she saw proudly showed their everything like a peacock, yet Isao was still like a stone. He didn't try to compete, yet she could feel he didn't think he was lower than any of them.
She wasn't sure how to describe him, but... silent confidence was probably the right word.
Isao was confident, but he didn't seek validation from others and found it by himself, which somehow made her curious about him.
"Still, as you have become an adventurer, as I have said before, I will be your advisor," Eina said with a gentle smile.
"Then, I will be in your care, Tulle-san."
"Eina."
"Hmm?"
"Please call me Eina since it will be more comfortable that way, as I will be in your care too for so long," Eina said gently, but she had to admit that she was quite embarrassed, wondering whether Isao would be okay calling her first name.
"Then, Eina." Isao nodded. "You can also call me Isao, Eina."
Eina smiled and said, "Likewise, please take care of me too, Isao-kun."
Watching this smile, Isao thought that he was going to protect it, so Bell didn't need to worry and focused on his ambition to become a hero.
As always, like any good person, Isao decided to let himself be sacrificed to take care of Hestia and Eina.
"Achoo!"
Bell suddenly felt his nose was itchy.
"Hurry up!"
"Ye-Yes!"
Bell wasn't sure, but somehow he anticipated his future.
