"That should be it."
Ron, holding the letter in his hand, stopped and looked at the huge building in front of him that looked like a volcano.
This is the headquarters of one of Orario's large families, the Hephaestus Family.
At the same time, this was also the clan that Eina recommended to Ron after her persuasion failed.
Crunch
"Um?"
Just as Ron was looking at this strange-looking building, the door was opened from the inside.
A tall woman with black hair tied back and an eyepatch on her left eye walked out.
Looking at Ron standing in front of the door, a look of surprise flashed across her exposed right eye.
"Boy, are you here for a commission?"
"no."
Ron replied.
"I'm here to join the Familia."
"Join the Familia?"
Tsubaki stroked her chin, a thoughtful look on her face.
"If I remember correctly, there seems to be no request to recruit new members recently."
"Forget it, since you want to join, then..."
"Wait a minute, I'm not here to join the [Hephaestus Familia]."
Facing Tsubaki who seemed to have made a mistake, Ron interrupted by shaking the letter in his hand.
"I'm here to join the Hestia Familia."
"According to the information provided by the guild, the goddess seems to be living here now."
"I see…"
After listening to Ron's explanation, Tsubaki sighed with some disappointment.
"What a pity."
As the leader of Hephaestus's family, Tsubaki, who possesses the strength of a first-line adventurer, is naturally very powerful.
But just before she pushed the door open and walked out, she didn't even notice that there was someone standing outside the door.
Based on this alone, she could be sure that Ron was not an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, the other party did not come to join their family.
After feeling a little regretful, she turned around and walked back into the house.
"Come with me."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the goddess should be reading in her room now."
"Isn't your business urgent?"
Ron asked, recalling that the other party was just walking out.
"It's just to lead the way to you. It won't take more than a few minutes."
"And my intuition as a blacksmith tells me that you will be a big customer in the future."
After waving her hand nonchalantly, Tsubaki replied while leading the way.
"If you need any good weapons, you can come to me with enough money to place an order."
"That might have disappointed you."
Touching the deflated wallet in his pocket, Ron smiled.
"I spent a lot of money on the journey, and now I only have a few thousand Valis left."
"It's okay. I believe in your ability to make money."
"By the way, my name is Tsubaki Collbrande, you can just call me Tsubaki."
...
In the guest room of Hephaestus's family.
"Puchi~Hahahahaha~!"
A loli with twin ponytails and a huge heart is lying on a soft big bed.
As if she saw something interesting, she suddenly burst into laughter while holding a book.
Not far from her, Hephaestus, who wore an eyepatch on her right eye and had short flame-red hair, she sighed.
Looking at her friend who were laughing so hard, she was silent for a moment and then reminded them.
"I say, Hestia, maybe you should be more serious."
"It has been a month since you came to the mortal world. You stay here with me every day and never go out."
"If this continues, it will be very difficult for you to build a clan that surpasses Loki's clan."
In fact, let alone surpassing Loki's family.
All she does all day is eat, drink and have fun, and she has no ability to take care of himself.
After seeing her friend's state, she only hoped that she could find a reliable child to raise her well.
Otherwise, if she just throw it out like this, it will be a big question whether she can survive.
"Well~ don't be too anxious."
The person in question replied without showing any sign of nervousness, grabbing a potato ball from the pile of fried potatoes beside her and throwing it into her mouth.
"I've also tried hard~"
"Didn't I go out with you, Hephaestus, yesterday to post a commission at the guild?"
"In a few days, there will be children coming here because of my reputation."
Come here because of your reputation?
What name? A name for waste.
Looking at Hestia who had no self-awareness at all, Hephaestus sighed helplessly.
Click~
Just as Hephaestus was thinking about whether there was any solution, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
"Goddess Hestia... Eh? Lord God, you are here too."
"Well, I'm trying to convince Hestia to go out and find children to form a Familia."
"Then you shouldn't have a headache anymore."
Tsubaki, who knew something about this matter, smiled and moved aside to reveal Ron behind her.
"This person is called Ron. I just met him when I was about to go out."
"According to the other party, he saw the commission from the guild and planned to join the Hestia Familia."
"???"
Hephaestus paused, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
Is this true or false?
Based on the introduction Hestia wrote, is there really anyone who dares to come?
"Anyone wants to join the Hestia Familia?!"
On the other side, Hestia, who was lying on the bed reading a book, reacted immediately.
Throwing the book in her hand to the side, she quickly ran towards the door.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
"Which child is going to join the Hestia Familia?"
"It's me."
Reaching out to help the little girl who was unable to brake to stop, Ron, who was also a little dizzy in the rough waves, and spoke.
"Nice to meet you, Goddess Hestia."
"You can call me Ron. I am an ordinary human, I came to Orario a little while ago."
"Is that you?"
Hestia raised her head and looked into Ron's eyes with her mysterious blue eyes.
"Let me see... huh?!"
