Takumi ignored Hestia's look and even reached out to rub the top of her head arrogantly.
He said: "What's the matter with you, little girl?"
This provocative gesture made Hestia so angry that she was about to take action.
But Takumi was well prepared and put his hand against her head, making it impossible for Hestia's short arms to hit him.
Well, it was useless even if she hit him; Takumi was immune to damage from Hestia, who was a visitor.
While the two were bickering, Kanae finally recovered from the shock.
She looked at Hestia, who was playing with Takumi like a child, with complicated eyes.
She couldn't help but say with some disillusionment: "Is this what gods are like? No wonder they didn't save those suffering people."
Seeing that something was wrong with Kanae's state of mind, Takumi quickly said: "Well, let me add, Hestia is not a god from your world; she is from another world."
"And even if she were, your side is not under her jurisdiction. She is a god from over there in Europe."
It was only then that Kanae realized she was in another world.
Gradually, her empty eyes became radiant again, and she said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
"It's okay, no problem." Hestia waved it off nonchalantly and asked curiously: "But what did you mean by what you just said? Is there a disaster in your world?"
Kanae didn't hide it. After all, the existence of demons is an open secret.
After listening to Kanae's explanation and understanding what kind of demons specialize in eating people, Hestia couldn't help but express sympathy for Kanae.
However, she did not act emotionally. Instead, she first signaled to Takumi with her eyes.
After Takumi nodded, she stood up.
At the same time, a divine light emerged from her body, and her whole being took on a sense of sanctity.
"I already understand the matter. You want to eliminate the source of those demons, right?"
Kanae was shocked by this scene. She felt the brilliant divine power, which was completely different from anything in her dimension. The invincible power made her unable to help but kneel on the ground. Then she looked at Hestia cautiously and replied:
"Yes, I also ask the goddess to have mercy on me and help me defeat the Demon King. I am willing to pay any price for this."
Seeing Kanae being so polite, Hestia couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"That's as you wish, and the price will be everything you have."
"Thank you, Lady Hestia, for making it happen!"
I'm really grateful for being sold.
However, it is the long-cherished wish of the Demon Slayer Corps to eliminate the Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan.
If they can achieve this goal, they will truly make any sacrifice.
The same is naturally true for Kanae.
Therefore, she doesn't feel like she's lost; she even feels like she's gained.
With her own sacrifice, the Demon King has been eliminated. This is a goal that so many Demon Slayer Corps members couldn't achieve through their sacrifices before. It's simply an incredible gain!
Success! Hestia, who had fooled Kanae, also put away her magical power with satisfaction and looked at Takumi as if to take credit.
Takumi discussed this routine with her.
When encountering such difficulties or needing strength, if you want people to join, let Hestia show up in front of them.
In this way, you can fool people into joining the Familia without using too many words.
Just as Takumi thought, the first experiment was very successful with Kanae.
Of course, they are not just cheating, and the benefits that should be given will still be given.
Takumi gave Hestia a thumbs up in approval, which made her feel proud and excited. Her Familia is finally about to welcome its first member!
So, Hestia pulled the obedient Kanae into the conference room of the Familia section and successfully completed the granting of Falna.
Only then did Kanae realize that the help Hestia was going to give her was like this. She also knew what the Familia was, and that Takumi did not accept the Falna, but was the leader of the Hestia Familia.
It was also the City of Dimensions. The owner of the family, even Hestia, is now a member of the Dimension City.
At the same time, she also knew that she was the only member of the Familia.
Finally, she realized that she had just sold herself. Kanae suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed. She looked at the two culprits who were snickering opposite her with complicated eyes.
Although they did not lie to her, she was indeed deceived, which made her a little depressed.
"Okay, don't look at us like this; let's experience the effect of the Falna first."
Seeing what Takumi said, Kanae stopped worrying about whether she was cheated or not for the time being and asked with a serious face: "What do you need me to do?"
"Um." Takumi rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then called Xiao Hei. He pointed at Xiao Hei and said to Kanae: "Just go hunting with him."
Kanae glanced at Xiao Hei and instantly felt the pressure. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She raised her hand weakly: "Can I ask, what is the prey?"
It can't be a monster of this (Xiao Hei) level, right?!
How can she defeat that!
"Don't worry, the prey is a killer rabbit, which is much weaker than Xiao Hei. You should be able to handle it, and with Xiao Hei watching, you won't be in danger."
Killer Rabbit?!
When you hear that name, you know it is not easy to mess with!
Is there really no problem?!
Kanae wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and began to feel inexplicably timid.
"By the way, I'll give you this sword. Yours doesn't look suitable for fighting the creatures here, so I'll keep it for you first."
Takumi took out another tachi that he forged in an experiment and gave it to Kanae, replacing her Nichirin Sword that was specially used for killing demons.
Although this tachi was an experimental work, it was also influenced by Hephaestus's advice.
It is also a rare sword, the kind that people would fight over if it were left out.
As a swordswoman, Kanae naturally saw the power of this blade and immediately fell in love with it.
Takumi gave Xiao Hei careful instructions and then said to Kanae: "Okay, let's go."
Kanae: "Yes!"
Xiao Hei: "Ouch!"
Watching Kanae following Xiao Hei into the forest, Takumi wasn't too worried.
After all, Xiao Hei's strength is among the best in the Forest of Death.
Even if they encounter an invincible opponent, it's no problem for him to escape back with Kanae, as he won't take her far away.
I just hope Kanae can survive; the creatures in this forest are very strong.
Takumi didn't wait but called out Tomoko, and they began to study and make rice mills together.
Originally, Takumi was not ready to rush to build this kind of automated machinery. After all, there was no power.
But a new discovery of universal appliances made him change his mind.
That is, the universal appliance became a hand crank!
Its function is not to let Takumi shake it at a certain speed, but as long as it shakes, it can output the corresponding horsepower and rotation according to Takumi's will.
In other words, as long as the power supply structure of the machine is designed well and suitable for the use of this crank...
Then Takumi can even drive all the machines by hand!
