'Hestia's expression showed her immense shock, anger, and somewhat helplessness towards Silver's actions.'
'She didn't know how to react...'
'It took a while for her expression to go back to normal.'
'Even if she got angry so what? She needs to consider their situation first!'
"I know what you are thinking about, and yes, I considered that possibility before challenging them. I am 100% sure of our chances." Said Silver as he looked at the worried Hestia
"You are just…"
"Handsome?" Said Silver as he laid in bed
"Urg!" She said as she tried to close her eyes, but she couldn't help but take a glance...
He is right!
But I can't accept it!
"So what do we now?" She asked
"I guess this is the time we wait for his answer, if he accepts, then a Denatus is held to choose the type of the game." Said Silver
"This is important… Considering we challenged them… They have the right to choose the game." Said Hestia as she worried a little
They could easily choose a team battle. Silver is strong but not strong enough to fight them all…
"In fact, how strong are they?" She asked
"Most of them are average Level 2's… I could eat them for lunch." Said Silver in a joking tone
"..."
"The rest are Level 1 and their Vice Captain is a pathetic Level 3…"
"... What about their Captain?" She asked
"I beat him up pretty easily when I trashed their house." Said Silver in a calm tone
... Not exactly...
It was clear that... He was strong.
Even when I grasped him with telekineses, I already felt him resiting it.
Not only that, but he didn't suffer any visible damage when I threw him back into the ground...
He is definitely a strong Level 3, or he was using some strong gear.
'Hestia got up from the bed and started to shake Silver's shoulders.'
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
'Silver smiled and replied:'
"I peacefully went to their house to deliver the Guild edict saying they breached the rules and that their previous War game was now invalid, in the meantime, I went to 'reconcile' for our previous meeting. I didn't do anything wrong!" Said Silver as he made a 'wronged' face
"... And how did you reconcile?" Asked Hestia as she already imagined the scene…
"..." Silver didn't speak
'Hestia got closer to him as she looked straight at his eyes.'
'And he looked straight at her, his intense glare made Hestia avert her eyes...'
"..."
HA! I won...
'Hestia turned to face him again and said:'
"What did you do?!"
"It's a beautiful day outside… Birds are singing…"
"Tell me!" She said as she jumped on his back
"Cough!... I might've gone a little out of hand… I mean… I drank a little."
Not that I could get drunk…
"So I… Threw some things in their house."
"What did you throw?!"
"... A Small warehouse…"
'Burning Warehouse.' Said the narrator
"..."
'Hestia was stunned…'
"You know… If you just wanted to beat them up… Then that would be fine…"
'She now dropped on the bed.'
"But what if they decide to complain about us?! Can you even think how big of a fine we would have to pay?!"
"Yes, I did in fact." Said Silver as he took a paper from his inventory
"... Of course you did…" Said Hestia as she face-palmed
"Normally, the Guild does not interfere in matters related to other Familias, including in-fighting within the city. However, the Guild has the power to fine and order other Familias in case this fighting extends to other parts of Orario, beyond their private grounds."
Sometimes, even if it happens within their private grounds, they might still act if what is happening is somewhat unethical, like what they did with the Soma Familia.
Although in that case, the Soma Familia was indeed affecting Orario in a bad way.
"Meaning… I could've destroyed their house and no one would complain since I have a very valid reason! And the proof was already sent to the Guild."
Valid is a stretch although...
The entire fight did not leave the confines of their property.
"Since they started this fight by wanting to kill me/kidnap me, even if they failed miserably, I have all of the reason to represent the Hestia Familia in trashing their house. As to uphold our honor and prestige." Said Silver in a deep tone
"..."
The way he spoke… Without even a single speck of remorse…
'Hestia now understood what had happened.'
'She wanted to say that she didn't care about what others thought about her, however, she knew that this boy in front of her wouldn't be able to tolerate people defaming his Familia and him at the same time...'
'As that was too much for his pride.'
'Silver might be really shameless sometimes, but he has his pride. He might allow people to say shit about him and not care, but if people start to defame his family and friends as a way to piss him off...'
'Than he will certainly comply to their wishes!'
"... Silver, I won't doubt your decisions, in fact, I will be always with you…"
"But remember to not do any excessive fighting, it's already hard seeing you come back hurt from the Dungeon, if you were to come back hurt just from walking in the city then that would be already too much." Said Hestia as she placed her head on his back
It's even worse if I have to go to work every day thinking you will get into trouble!
"I know, it's just that these guys did too much." He said
And Hestia... Orario, in some aspects, can be more dangerous than the Dungeon...
"Tomorrow, let's go to the Guild, I won't go to the Dungeon tomorrow, let's plan for the War game okay?" Said Silver as he turned around and head patted the Goddess
"Uhum."
'Hestia liked receiving head pats…'
…
/Next day…/
'Silver did just as he said he would, and went to the Guild to report their challenge, and after doing so, he left towards Hephaestus' place, this was under Hestia's request.'
'She wanted help from her experienced friend.'
'It was already guaranteed that they would accept it, they wouldn't be able to stay in Orario with the trashy reputation they would receive otherwise.'
"You did what?!" Said Hephaestus when she heard what Hestia said
'Of course, after a little bit of explaining, the trio soon started their small meeting.'
…
/At the same time… In the Guild/
'Two people were currently talking, one of them was Rehmer, the Guild section leader of Orario, and the other just seemed to be the average Guild worker.'
"So now, post these on the reception board… Yes yes, everything. From the part where Tityos and Leto's War game is canceled to the War game between the Hestia Familia and Tityos."
/Creek/
'Just when Rehmer was about to send the worker away, the door to the office opened without prior warning.'
"?"
'Rehmer was surprised, there were only two possible scenarios for someone to enter this place like this, it's either a very angry worker or…'
"Mr. Mardeel! How can I help you?" He asked towards the fat old Elf that just entered the room
'It was none other than Royman Mardeel, the Guild's head!'
"There is something that has come to my attention… A possible cancelation of a War game due to unforeseen circumstances?" Asked the fat Elf
"Yes sir, is there something wrong?" Asked Rehmer
'Royman looked at the other worker on the side and said:'
"Wait outside for now, do not post the news yet." He ordered to the worker
'The man nodded and left.'
/CLACK!/
'The door closed, and with this, Royman said:'
"Going back to our previous conversation…"
"Yes, there is. I need you to postpone that. However, be sure to send the Hestia Familia Tityos answer." Said Royman
"What?! Why is that?" Asked Rehmer in wonder
'Royman took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead as he thought about what happened yesterday night…'
"It was a request…" He said
"From who?! How can it be enough to…"
"From the Freya Familia."
"?!" Rehmer was shocked
"Just postpone it for 3 days, counting from today. It's pretty simple." Said Royman
"... Yes Sir."
'With that, Royman left without looking behind…'
"Rehmer? What should I do now?" Asked the other Guild worker as he entered the room
"Just… Put those papers on the side, for now, this news is being delayed."
"WHAT?!"
"Don't ask, higher up order, you know the protocol." He said as he made a gesture for him to shut up
"...Yes sir." Said the man as he put the stack of papers back on the table and left
/Creeak…/
'The door closed, and with this, Rehmer collapsed on his chair.'
"I can see it… The amount of paperwork waiting for me…" He said as he frowned
…
"AHHH!"
'In the middle of the day, inside a mansion, a girl with blue hair screamed as she woke up from what seemed to be a nightmare.'
'Sweat fell on her forehead as she recalled everything she saw in her dreams… It was the same dream she had a little earlier.'
'This time it was more vivid… But the result did not change.'
'In fact, it seemed worse...'
'She didn't want to believe it.'
"Awww… Are you okay Cassandra? Let me guess… Another one of those dreams?" Asked a girl on the side
'She was currently sitting on a small table, going over several envelopes, making sure everything was perfectly fine.'
'She seemed satisfied with her work, but she was still annoyed she lost her sleep due to it.'
"It was even worse this time! I… I saw…"
"Stop it Cassandra, nothing will come from believing in those dreams of yours."
"Instead, go to the shower and put on some clothes, after we get some lunch we will go send these letters." Said Daphne
"Lunch? Shouldn't it be breakfast?" Asked Cassandra
"... That was several hours ago." Said Daphne
"How… How long did I sleep?!" Asked Cassandra in concern
"A few hours more than normal… But I am already used to this, you always sleep more when you have those weird dreams of yours." Said Cassandra after she packed all of the letters
"I will go take a shower and possibly some coffee to recover some of my energy. Let's go together?"
"Yes…"
'The two girls made their way to the showers…'
…
/In the Dungeon…/
/SWUSH!/
"HA!" Said a girl as she cut a minotaur in the neck with her longsword
"Huff… Huff…" She exhaled as she sat on a rock
"Here you go." Said a pallum girl on the side as she gave the girl a cup of tea
"Thank you Riha." She said as she picked up the tea
"You know… There is no need for you to work so hard, at this rate, you are only going to suffer instead of improving." Said the Pallum girl
"... I know." Replied the Elf girl
"Then why?..."
"But if I remain at my old pace, I won't be able to catch up, never."
"You are already considerably above your old pace!" Said Riha
"Everyone is Level 2 now, currently, everyone is at home going over strategies, while you are here training non-stop! I don't want to downgrade your efforts, but no matter how fast you hunt you can't have a meaningful change in one week!" Said Riha as she grabbed her friend's shoulder and shook it
"..."
I know… But…
And the tea is going to spill at this rate...
"He is also Level 2." Said the Elf
"I knew it. So it was about him…" Said Riha
Sigh…
"Look, he is he, and you are you. We don't know much about his fighting style nor his personality, so why are you trying to catch up to him?"
"This is enough, think about it, if you get hurt due to training and can't show your best in the War game what is he going to think of you?"
"..."
"Alright, I will leave. However, I won't be stopping my training anytime soon."
"... You stubborn girl…" Said Riha as she gave the Elf a head pat
'That was her only chance of doing something like this due to her size...'
"Hehe…"
'The two girls talked for a bit longer before they packed their things and left.'
…
/Somewhere in Orario…/
/Knock knock knock…/
"Artemis Sama… Please, get out of your room." Said Rethusa with a worried expression
"..."
"Please… It might not be what you think…"
/CREEAK!/
'The door was suddenly opened, revealing Artemis.'
'Her eyes had dark circles around it as she had clear signs of tears.'
'Artemis looked like a girl who had been rejected by her love, locking herself in her room.'
"It's all a lie! Sniff… Love is a lie!" Said Artemis out loud
"Please… Tell me what happened." Said Rethusa as she expected for the worse
'She approached Artemis and hugged her as she led her inside the room.'
'The two were now sitting on her bed.'
"Sniff… I waited for him to come back… But when he returned… SNIFF!"
'She cried a little.'
"Okay okay… Tell me what happened." Said Rethusa as she pathed Artemis back
She is like the perfect depiction of a maiden with a broken heart…
"He wasn't wearing his helmet…" Replied Artemis with a sad face
"Isn't that good? You saw his face right?" Asked Rethusa
"But he… He..."
"Tell me, don't be shy..." Asked Rethusa
"He is Hestia's child!" Said Artemis as she hugged her pillow
/Silence/
'Rethusa stayed there with an inquisitive look for a little while before she asked:'
"... Is that it?" Said Rethusa as she exhaled in relief
"It's not really a problem…"
"How can it not?! He is my best friend's Child! He is her Familia Captain!"
"..."
Hestia Captain huh? So that's the guy who saved us…
And he was a Captain? Well, no wonder.
'The image of Silver on her head elevated a bit more.'
"Look Artemis, it might be a bit awkward, but as long as they aren't in a relationship there is no need for you to hold yourself back!" Said Rethusa as she patted Artemis back
"This happens all of the time, if it was a crime for a God to have a relationship with a child of another Familia, then most of the Gods would have to stop their romances..."
Phew… For a moment I thought she had been rejected
Wait!
"Didn't you tell me Hestia had a boyfriend? Isn't that perfect then? He is free for the taking!"
"Yeah?... It isn't bad to date the Familia member of a friend?" Asked Artemis
"Oh come on! If it was wrong, then dating any adventurer would be bad since he would always be the child of someone you already know." Said Rethusa
"At least it's Hestia, so you can learn more about him if you ask her!"
"Th-That's…"
That's right…
Hestia has been quite the subject of discussion recently among the Gods...
Everyone is interested to know who is her boyfriend...
I could ask her for advice... Yeah...
"So what are you waiting for! Get up, and let's get you changed! He isn't going anywhere for now, but it's better to move fast now that his identity has been revealed!"
"I am sure that…" Said Rethusa
'Before she could continue, Artemis got up from bed and ran to who knows where.'
"That was fast…"
I am glad she recovered… But I really hope he doesn't have a girlfriend…
Else she is truly going to break…
'She had mixed feeling about all of this...'
…
/Somewhere in Orario…/
"Is this the place?" Asked Asfi as she looked at a nice and big house
"To think they would hide in the middle of our sight… I guess those are really the best hiding spots."
'Asfi was alone, looking at the house as she drank a little bit of tea.'
'She was currently sitting on a table near a cafe, it was 'definitely' part of her disguise…'
So this brings my investigation to an end… Hm?
'She saw someone leave the house, knowing this might be a new lead, she followed the man.'
'She became even more curious when the man passed by an alley and got ahold of a large box.'
This is suspicious, was there more supply points we didn't know of?
What is he carrying?
'She continued to follow the man, all of the way until…'
This place? What is this place?
'In front of her was a relatively large… Circular-shaped house… Its shape was like that of half of a circle with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of 4 floors.'
'It had a nice space around it filled with all sorts of plants... Although most of them were removed, it seemed as if they were all in the middle of repairs as there were multiple construction workers going in and out with materials.'
"..."
What happened in this place? I can see clear traces of destruction and… A fight?
'She looked to the side to see the man blending in with the construction workers and entering the house, she was ready to follow him when…'
"... It was fucking crazy yesterday!" Said a passerby on the side
"Did you see it? Oh yeah! You live on the other side of the street! How was it?!" Asked the other man walking on his side
"Man! It was suddenly silent when suddenly… BAM! I hear a loud sound of something falling!"
"I ran upstairs to see what happened only to see my older son looking outside of the window in shock, so I went to see what was going on right."
"And?" Asked the other man
"And what? I saw everything! The Tityos Familia house burning down as a figure stayed there in the sky, looking at everything from above!"
"WHAT?! So was the Tityos Familia attacked?! Aren't they preparing for the War game? Who would be so crazy?"
"This is where you are wrong. I didn't hear what he said, but I have an adventurer friend who was getting out of the Dungeon… Just when all of this was going on."
"He went in to help, but what he heard shocked him!"
"What is it! Don't leave me on hold!"
"I still remember everything he said to me, it was this:"
"As per the rules, the War game between the Leto Familia and the Tityos Familia is canceled."
"WHAT?!" Said the friend
"It's not over yet!"
"Now that Tityos has received the Edict I shall say the second piece of news… As the Captain of the Heris Familia, I, Mebus Silba, challenge the Tityos Familia to a War game!"
"As he said that he pointed his finger forward and cast a massive destruction spell that burned the Tityos house to the ground! Or most of it, you can see its state right now." Said the passerby
"No way…"
'The two continued chatting, but Asfi was not hearing any of it.'
Heris Familia?
Mebus Silba?
Wasn't that just a really bad pronunciation of Hestia and Mellios Silver?!
'Asfi placed her hand in her head as she had a headache.'
The mission comes first.
'She turned around and disappeared in the crowd…'
…
/Somewhere in the West of Orario, in a strangely shaped house…/
'There was a man with an Elephant mask on his face.'
'He was sitting on a nicely decorated table that had an elephant theme. And the pen on his hand also had a small elephant ornament.'
'On his side, there was a large metal birdcage, and inside of it, was a beautiful Chicken-Like creature with golden/emerald feathers.'
"HM?!"
'The strong man suddenly stopped what he was doing and smiled brightly.'
"So it's finally my turn!" He said as he did a power ranger jump and leaped from his chair!
'He stopped behind a large open window and posed! Showing his worked-out muscles!'
"I AM GANEEEEEEEESHA!!!" He said as he continued to change poses
"... Yes I know that." Said another man with an elephant mask on his face
'He turned around as he continued to clean the ground.'
"GANESHA IS CURRENTLY ENJOYING THE SPOTLIGHT!" Said GANESHA as he continued to pose
"... What is that even supposed to mean?" Asked the other masked man as he once again turned to face GANESHA
"I WAITED FOR OVER 50 CHAPTERS TO APPEAR!!" Said GANESHA out loud
"Sigh…"
'The man ignored his God strange antics as he continued to calmly sweep the floor…'
'As the camera slowly zoomed out of the room, it showed a nice sky view of Orario. What was going to happen from now on?'
"I AM GANEEEEEESHA!!!" Said GANESHA as the camera zoomed out
"COOOOCKOOORIKOOOOOO" Said the Jack Bird on the cage
'...'
'The narrator was tired, it was time for him to sleep...'
