"Is this really the way? Hephaestus?"
A tomboyish girl curious asked while following the tall woman in front, complaining from time to time.
"Loki, I never asked you to come, Tsubaki can work as guard for me." Hephaestus helpless said don't know why this small woman even followed them.
"That's right Lord Loki, I can act as guard for my Goddess." Tsubaki said.
Tsubaki Collbrande, the Captain of the Hephaestus Familia as well as Master Smith.
Even though Tsubaki is a girl and well-endowed, she is a First Class Adventurers of Orario, she is a Level 5 with huge amount of strength that comes from her race, a Half Dwarf.
Tsubaki is a Half Dwarf but her height is almost 170cm, huge difference from the traditional Dwarf that is just hundred meters in height.
She is also a very friendly person, casually interacting with various people making her friend connection vast.
As a Half Dwarf, she also loves alcohol and is very insistent when asking other tonjoi. Her during celebration. She doesn't care at all about perverted comments and has even responded to them casually. She also dislikes her big chest as it only an annoyance for her when it comes to forging.
"Eh~ but I'm bored, I heard that Loli Big-Boobs is missing, I don't know we're you get the news about her."
"Let me think, it's about to months already when Hephaestus kick that leech out right?"
Hephaestus helpless sight, well, she is worries to her friend, after all she went missing when she kick her out.
Back when she was in Heaven, Hestia was one of the gods to guard the Secret Flame. After descending to the Lower World, she was taken care by her, Hephaestus.
Soon after, she asked her to leave after seeing Hestia kpey freeloading off, Hephaestus as friend don't want Hestia to become Neet so she choose to click her to force Hestia go find her own family.
But who knows that after she kick her out, Hestia gone missing, not even the people she send find here.
But knowing Hestia for almost million years, she thought that he friend just go somewhere to read book or to alzy around so she let it be but who knows that it takes two months but she never come back.
She asked the Guild but there is no news about Hestia, not even when she mobilize her familia she found that Hestia is really missing.
And she did not know when she went t missing making her feel nervous and afraid, even she is strict towards her friend she don't want her to get harm.
She only got news of here location when Hestia wrote a letter for her inviting to her new Home making Hephaestus confused.
Guild don't have any news about Hestia, even people around don't know where she is so she is confused right now.
If not for th unique marks that God can leave she will think the letter is a trap for her.
As for Loki, she just come to join the fun, while the girls behind Loki come to escort them to the location.
"This is far from Orario, the deep jungle northwest of Orario is inhabitants, no Village or City near here, are you sure this is the place Goddess Hephaestus?"
The tall jade-colored hair elf asked while looking around, she feels something weird around, she can't understand why but she feel familiar but same time esame of deja Vu.
"This is the right place, I can't be wrong." Hephaestus said opening the letter in front of them and a Golden Arrow suddenly pop out while pointing to a certain detection.
"Hestia said to follow the arrow so I won't lose my way to her."
"What do you think Riveria?" Loki asked.
"What? Let me see let me see!"
One of the brown girl jump in front while looking curiously.
"Hey Tiona, don't be rude!" The other older girl resembling the cheerful girl try to pull Tiona back while looking at the strange arrow floating above the letter.
"Strange? Is this a spell? A magic? But I dont feel any magic at all?" Riviera said whole trying to send something but it's fruitless, she don't feel anything at all.
"Interesting, I don't know that Big Boob Loli find, but I smell something interesting."
Loki's eye turn own, her expression turn serious, looking at the arrow that she even don't know the origin.
She don't know why but Hestia's condition open the door of her true nature, she ant to know, she want to explore, she want to see what kind of trickery is waiting for them.
Her expression made the girl a around turn serious making them to hold their own weapon tightly.
"Hey, hey Loki, it's just a arrow right?" Tiona confused asked.
"Tiona get ready, stand with me, this is serious, ther is something or someone out there waiting for us." Tione said pulling her sister back.
The blond girl who silently following also grab the holy of her sword while attentively looking around.
"I just hope shorty did not get her self in to trouble." Loki said.
Hephaestus look at the arrow while her worries is getting heavy, she do t know what kind of trouble her friend take but she won't go back empty like this.
She wan
t to see her, at least see her safe.
"I hope Hestia is fine."
