"Hey, God Hestia?"
When the werewolf Burt was waiting impatiently for Asuna to set up a stall on the street, he discovered that the person pushing the cart was not the tall figure from before, but Loki's jealous and arch-rival Hector. God Stiya.
"Um?"
Hestia heard Burt's words and walked out from behind the cart with her calves.
There is no way, although she is very cute, and she has a childlike face and big breasts, but her height has always been her eternal pain!
Therefore, Loki has always called him "the dwarf."
If she could grow taller, Freya would probably have a strong competitor for the title of Beauty God.
It's a pity that she is a god and has already lived for a long time? ? ? (age unknown) god.
You will never get a second chance to grow~
"You must be that guy Loki's child."
Hestia looked at the werewolf Burt, and then at the adventurers who were hiding far away.
Then he nodded with satisfaction.
"Great, I'll sell these to you so I can close the stall and go home."
As soon as Hestia finished speaking, the adventurers around him howled in dissatisfaction.
"No, God Hestia!!!"
"We will be punished when we go back, please leave some for us!"
"Ah, today is another day to be punished by God! So happy~~~"
"Damn it, how could a masochist sneak in! Brothers, beat him!"
"Ah! Don't slap me in the face..."
Hestia: "..."
Werewolf Burt: "..."
Hestia hurriedly jogged back to the cart, only to be met by another wave.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and give me the money. I want to go home."
Hestia bagged the biscuits and put them aside, while Burt silently put the money bag in the cart.
These days, no one dares to defraud the gods of their money.
"Well, may I ask, why Asuna didn't come today?"
Bert asked, holding the cookie bag in his hand.
"Um?"
Hestia, who was about to leave, immediately cast a wary look at him.
"Just give up on that! My Asuna won't like you!"
"..." Bert's mouth twitched.
I only know her name and have never even seen her face. How can I like her?
Besides, I have someone I like! How could you fall in love with someone else?
Hestia smiled when she saw Bert's face turn dark instantly.
"It seems I misunderstood something." She jumped off the small stool and hung it on the corner of the trolley.
"Asuna went down to the dungeon yesterday and won't be able to come up for the next few days."
"What about these cookies?"
"Of course I did it!"
Hestia raised her head and said proudly, "Although the taste is not as good as Asuna's biscuits, they are still delicious!"
Werewolf Burt was silent.
He was wondering if he should find a place to throw the cookies away.
If Loki knew that he had bought "defective biscuits" and paid a high price for the "genuine ones"...
"I'm going back."
Bert nodded slightly, and did not want to leave as quickly as before. Instead, he walked heavily and thought about countermeasures.
However, this is really difficult for werewolves.
"Hey, didn't Asuna say he's very fast?"
Moreover, why does his back look so...heavy?
Hestia pushed the cart away in confusion, leaving only the adventurers who were still fighting.
In the end, Bert didn't throw away the cookies and took them back to the family.
However, what he didn't expect was that after Loki ate these cookies, he actually returned to his true nature from the sage state!
Then she really remembered what happened yesterday and burst into tears.
"Ah, my Estan!"
No, she was just greedy for Ace's body!
Bert curled his lips, closed the door and locked it very wisely.
"Just think Loki went out to play."
He leaned back with his hands folded behind his head, and said to people he met along the way: "Loki has gone out to have fun. There is no need to call her during dinner."
…
…
"Are we... too late?"
At night, the Loki Familia's "upgrade team" finally arrived at the 38th level.
However, when Ais entered the main room of the floor alone.
The original familiar opening action - breaking the stone wall, did not take place as planned.
The skeletal giant that Riveria and Finn had previously repelled did not appear in front of them.
"Go back." Riveria shook her head. The purpose of their trip was just to let Ais challenge the floor master in order to achieve the purpose of upgrading.
Now that the floor owner is dead, there is no point for them to stay here anymore.
After all, they still have to go back and prepare for the expedition in the near future.
"Okay, I'm happy for nothing." Tiona kicked the rocks on the ground dissatisfied.
"I don't know if that family member is so fast..."
Tione shook her head. There were only a few Familia who could hunt down the floor master quickly before them.
However, as far as she knew, there were no adventurers among those Familia who, like Ais, had reached the peak of level 5 and could no longer improve and could only upgrade.
If it's just for the magic stone, the rewards will be completely out of proportion to the effort.
After all, is it the family member who has nothing to do and does such a thankless thing?
"It has already happened, and there is no point in discussing it here." Riveria's staff tapped the ground.
"Ais, come back."
She shouted to Ace who was not far away.
"Riveria."
Ais turned back to look at them, a trace of disappointment flashed in her clear eyes.
Even the bright blond hair became a little dull due to this.
"Okay, okay, after the expedition is over, you can definitely upgrade."
Riveria's hand gently touched Ace's head and comforted her softly.
"Um."
Aisi nodded silently, but her mood still didn't improve.
"Sister, let's go shopping with Ais after we get back."
Tiona suggested.
"Well, it's time for Ace to take a rest."
Tione nodded and looked at Ais who was already walking ahead.
Instead of the smooth back that was exposed in the beginning, there was pure white armor in his sight.
"but."
"The armor Miss Asuna gave to Ais uses a forging technique that even God Hephaestus has never seen before. It can even be repaired automatically by absorbing magic stones..."
"I have to find a chance to thank her."
In Orario, the only weapons with the "indestructible" attribute are those used by adventurers.
When it comes to protective equipment like armor, no one often uses those precious metals on them.
For example, Aisi's beloved sword, the Sword of Despair, has the property of indestructibility.
However, just for such a thin sword, its price is still high.
So, when they discovered not long ago that the armor on Aisi had "indestructible properties", although they didn't say it with their mouths, they all shouted "Prodigal!"
You don't use such precious metal to make weapons, but you use it to make armor... Could it be that you are rich and willful?
However, when I think that Asuna can give away such a precious armor easily...she must be rich and willful!
Rich woman.
Please accept the next prayer.
Asuna: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
