Capítulo 20: Level Up
Fate, as many of us know it, is a strength that some believe impossible to defy. Some of us succumb to the waves of time, while others go against them. There is also those who stay strong, firm in their places, since their roots are so deep that no amount of shaking can move them.
There are moments though... in which Fate has to run from us. Moments in which Fate is scared of being suppressed. Moments in which Fate can't influence neither me, nor you, nor anyone.
That meeting, was one such moment, in which Fate had no hand to play.

Adalwulf: This is going to sound very stupid but... I need you. And I think you need me.
Ryuu: Please let go of my hand. We can speak... later.
Adalwulf: I'll be waiting for you... at the Hearth Manor.
After that awkward moment, Ad managed to calm himself down. The other members from the Hestia Familia were looking at him with different expressions throughout the walk towards their home.
Once they reached the Hearth Manor, Ad asked Hestia if she could update his Falna. He had a weird feeling, and he thought he knew the reason why.
The result was unexpected, and yet not surprising for Ad.

Ad and the rest of the Hestia Familia now understood what had happened in the Hostess of Fertility. Those who were present in the Dungeon could also understand why Ais seemed to be so happy when Ad was talking to her.
His Abilities and his state of mind affected his skills in such a way that they had grown further. He had even awakened a new Spell that acted as a connection between him and whoever his emotions resonated with.
Natsuki was jealous of how those girls could connect with him on their first meeting, when she had been with him for half a month already. Iman was envious, as they had gotten to connect with him before her. Hestia on the other hand was raging and... hurt.
Ad could understand why, and he could somehow feel how hurt she was. He could even tell why she was hurt. She was probably thinking something along the lines of...
Hestia: 'He is going to leave me now... he hasn't even resonated with me...'
And then she felt two warm arms pulling her towards the source of warmth she enjoyed in her sleep. The strong body that made her feel safe and loved. And she just let her head rest on Ad's chest.
When she finally looked up to him, she found his eyes moist. Ad wouldn't cry because of how she felt... unless he could feel her emotions as his own.
Adalwulf: Hestia-sama, I will always be the Captain of your Familia, ok?
Hestia just separated from him slightly and looked him in the eyes. Ad controlled his emotions so as to not channel them in Hestia, bue the Goddess could still feel them. She could see it in his eyes. So she just tackled him to the ground and...
Hestia: *smooch* I love you. I love you. I love you, Ad-kun!
Adalwulf: *chuckle* Hestia-sama, you are making the others uncomfortable.
Hestia: Ah!
Ad could still feel the Natsuki and Iman being slightly resistant of the current situation, so he just smiled at them and silently mouthed a "later". Iman calmed down at that, but Natsuki seemed to be having a hard time doing so. Ad could perfectly understand why though, as she had a few problems with it, from her up-bringing.
Still, he decided to deal with it later. Now, he had someting else to focus in.
Adalwulf: Hestia-sama, I want to level up.
Hestia: Sure! Let's get it done.
Once his Level was upped, he had to go to the Pantheon to register his new level. Besides, he was not the only one who wanted to have his status updated. After the fight against the Minotaur, everyone was sure that their Basic Abilities had grown a lot.
As such, Natsuki presented herself to her Goddess, followed by Iman, Eoghan and Keeva. Adalwulf just turned around when it was Keeva's turn to update her status, since he respected both her and Eoghan.
The Hestia Familia had grown a lot in the past few hours.
