“Bell-kun. You should sleep on the bed. Okay?”
“Is this alright……?”
“Of course. I cannot let you sleep on the sofa in this kind of state, that would be rather mean, right?”
People who are injured require good rest. In order to provide a good environment for him to rest, Hestia let go of her own bed.
Then, after saying this, she came up with a prank.
Looking at Bell, Hestia gave off a evil smile.
“As an alternative, why not sleep together with me? Since I searched for you, I am already very tired……Fufu, you won’t refuse right?”
“Ahhh, that’s right. Kami-sama also worked hard. Then, let’s immediately go and sleep together.”
“……Wha?”
Originally, she wanted to make a joke, but it was completely ignored, causing Hestia, who had completely been countered, to become speechless. Her heart began to stir. Instead, she was the one who became nervous.
Looks like he was completely worn out physically and mentally, even his ability to think had dropped considerably. Bell did not even know what he was saying.
Damn, it is only Bell-kun……!
Hestia gritted, but her entire face was dyed red, her heart was also startled and her heartbeat increased.
Hug. I’ll definitely hug you.
She could only think about rubbing her face on the boy’s body.
Since he had already agreed. What has been said cannot be unsaid. Drools.
“Kami-sama……”
“……! Nyaanyaa, what?
She issued a strange sound.
Holding a trace of fear that she was seen through, Hestia waited for the next sentence.
“……I…want to become stronger”
“!”
She looked blankly at the boy’s face.
His eyes seemed to be staring at something.
Hestia looked at the side of his face, took a deep breath, then looked down. She then made an “Ah……” sound and sincerely accepted it.

[Single-Minded Pursuit]
Accelerates Growth
Effects last as long as his feelings are unchanged
Effects are determined by the strength of his feelings
Suddenly, Hestia’s hands stopped.
On top of the thin back she was looking at. The rules that were written on was as if it was like an ancient book, the entire body was filled with “Sacred Text” ——
The
It has been one night after Bell returned.
Because of the extreme fatigue, he had slept for the entire day yesterday——Once Bell noticed that he had slept with Hestia, he suddenly gave off a scream—— At such an early time, the two of them, after all, had to first update the
As usual, Hestia sat on Bell’s back, used her god’s blood to work on the carved “Sacred Text”……What was different than before was, Bell’s numbers on his
——Too fast.
It was the first time that Hestia had granted
What way to speed up the proficiency rate, how to discover magic and skills, she did not have any knowledge about these information.
But, the granted
It was too fast. The proficiency growth rate. It is already abnormal.
This cannot be called as growth anymore, but rather a “jump”.
(It is absolutely incomparable to the other adventurers……)
If the other adventurers grew at the same rate as Bell, then most of them would have been considered as a “Third-Class Adventurer”, a Lv. 2.
Lv. 2——The elites of the adventurers, they were generally members from large
Bell was growing at a speed 1 or even 2 times faster than the others, it was a rapid speed growth.
The proficiency growing around 10 or so, was only at the very beginning, then it will hit a wall, this was what she had heard from her God friends.
Half of the people were troubled about how to break through this wall.
(The reason that the growth rate became like this is……!)
What made Bell inflate up considerably was.
Even if she was a God, she still had emotions like a child——Jealous, she was swayed by her own emotions.
“Kami-sama?”
“!”
Hestia, who had stopped, was surprised, Bell slightly tilted his head to look over.
Hestia smiled and said “Sorry Sorry”, then she continued to work again. No, pretended to work. The update on the
(What should I do……? Should I tell exactly what happened to Bell-kun……?)
A moment of self-confidence could lead to a moment of strength and arrogance.
Hestia already knew this. Not only humans, but it was the instincts of all the children. Arrogance will lead to accidents and accidents will lead to death.
Although she believed that Bell was not the type of person to think about such things, Hestia still had an overly protective feeling towards the boy, so she made plans for the “Just in case” possibility. “Just in case” she may lose Bell.
Trust and worry, the two feelings were placed on a scale, she did not know which side it would lean to.
(But, if I do not tell this to the child, it may feel as if I lied to him……)
In addition, this may hinder Bell’s growth.
Not knowing about the power within his body, and fighting against enemies that are not evenly matched against him, how much growth will he obtain. In fact, it was said that the nature of the
If the words that she passed on were false, then even if it was for good intentions, there was a possibility that Hestia broke Bell with her own hands.
Hestia’s heart suddenly became silent.
(……Wanted to become strong, huh)
Finally, what Hestia decided on was trust.
Suppressing her own disturbed heart, she let the scale favor one side over another.
The boy’s one phrase of “I want to become stronger”, even if it was born because of love, it should still be considered as a resolve——It was something the perfect Gods could not do——Hestia thought she wanted to lend a helping hand to Bell.
“Bell-kun, can I verbally pass on your
“Ah, okay. I don’t have a problem……”
Lifting up her head to stare at Bell’s eyes, Hestia began to talk. The abnormal growth rate.
However, she did not talk about the existence of the
(It really must be this skill.)
A lot of discovered skills were, in fact, skills with an effect that was shared between adventurers.
Having earned a skill for yourself is rather rare. There were many confirmed skills, although they had different names, with similar effects as another skill. Especially for the same race. Between the different races, there exists certain skills. Just like the elves have an magic support effect, and dwarfs have the strength power.
Amongst the repeated skills, the only one, or rather an extremely rare skill was referre
d as
This was a random name made up by the Gods.
(If I reveal it, it will be bad. Definitely bad)
Not letting Bell know about this skill was absolutely not a prank.
To be honest, the jealousy she felt for the Wallen-whatever girl accounted for 70%, no, 90% of the reason, anyways, saying this will cause a lot of trouble.
Because the other gods thirst for entertainment,
Also, there were idiots that were invited to other
It was just like a gamer’s personality.
(This child is not good at telling lies, if he was asked, he would definitely be suspected by others. Although I am sorry, I won’t concede about this point)
The specific conditions that rapidly upgrades the growth rate.
In order to protect Bell from the demonic hands, Hestia kept the existence of this skill within her heart.
After being told about the
“And well, about the proficiency rapid growth. Do you have any clues about it?”
“N…No, completely……Ah.”
“What?”
“C…Could it be……Yesterday I walked to the 6th floor and obtained……”
“Bu! ?Ah, ahhhhhhh! ? You did not even take your defensive gear, do not casually increase your floor count!”
“S…Sorry! ?”
Hestia stood up from Bell’s back, while preaching. Bell did not even dare to wear his clothes, and continued to be scolded in a half-naked state, making him shrink smaller and smaller.
“Ha……Back to the main topic. Right now, from an unknown reason, you growth rate is too fast. We do not know how long it will continue, let’s just simply call it your growth period”
“Y…Yes”
“……It is just my personal opinion, but you are very talented. The capacity and quality of adventurer, you have both of them”
Bell’s current state was not just because of the skill.
Just relying on the discovered skill, it could be the cause for the rapid growth of the boy.
But thinking back about it, there were some things that need to be considered.
Although he was once on the verge of death, the boy had spent his life on a farm, without even a master, and only relying on himself to achieve results from the dungeon.
Even if it was this
Bell, who had been fighting by himself until now as an adventurer, was quite talented.
“……You will become stronger. Then, you are also looking forward to yourself become stronger.”
“……Yes”
Hestia placed her hands onto Bell’s chest, who bent his back on the bed and was looking straight ahead.
She revealed an uneasy expression and said.
“……I hope you will promise me that you will not force yourself. Vow that the things that happened this time will not be done again”
“I…I……”
“I will not oppose, but rather respect your opinion about becoming stronger. I will aid, will help, and even lend you my power……So”
Holding back her tears, Hestia hoped from the bottom of her heart for Bell.
“……So please, don’t leave me alone”
The effect was instantaneous.
Bell’s shoulders trembled, he widened his eyes, he seemed to start thinking about something, recalling the promise he made to himself, and closed his eyes and looked back.
Silence. There was a long period of silence between the two people.
“……Yes”
Bell lifted his head.
His expression changed from as if he was apologetic, to as if it seemed that he wanted to cry out, to as if he was happy, then as if everything was solved.
It was not a false smile, more than any words, it passed down the trust and belief.
The boy in front of her eyes will keep his promise, Hestia was convinced.
“I will not be reckless. I will try hard to become strong, but……I will absolutely not let Kami-sama become alone. I will not let you become worried”
“After hearing this, I feel at ease”
Suppressing the excitement within her heart, Hestia gave a slight smile.
After a while, she handed over Bell’s clothes and shyly said “Sorry”. He began to change his clothes, Hestia, on the other hand, stared at the ceiling.
(……Okay)
She decided to do something for Bell.
Tototo, walking past the broken floors, she walked next to the table shelf. Opening the middle drawer, she began to search. Searching inside the drawer that was stuffed with flyers and recruitment papers, she quickly found it.
An invitation letter that had
(Hephaestus will also come, right……?)
Thinking about the face of the person who granted this hidden house to her.
To her, who was working seriously around the city, contacting her was not an easy thing to do.
In order to meet up with her, she decided to use this banquet.
The date it was hosted……Today at night.
Ah, Hestia revealed a panicked expression.
“Bell-kun, I will have to leave the house for tonight…no…maybe a few days. Is there a problem with that?”
“Eh? Ah, understood, for work is it?”
“No, although I was not going to go, but I should still show up at a gathering from my friends. It has been a long time since I saw everyone’s faces.”
“Then there’s no need to mention it, just go” Bell understood. Friends are very important, as if he was smiling to encourage himself.
Hestia felt that she was somewhat random, but she still nodded. She started looking in the closet. The closet did not have many clothing, after selecting one that could be considered decent, she began to pack her bags. Then she thought about how she would miss a few shifts at work and she headed towards the door.
Placing her hand onto the door, she looked again at Bell.
“Bell-kun, could it be, you are heading to the dungeon today again?”
“I think so……Is it no good?”
After saying that promise earlier. He would conduct himself a bit, Bell was slightly afraid while he waited for the answer.
Hestia smiled and replied.
“Ah, there’s no problem, go ahead. However, you have to consider about returning okay? You are still in an injured state.”
“Okay, Thank you——“
Bell happily bowed his head and Hestia left the house.

The sun was currently shining bright in the sky.
The time currently is right before noon. People crowded along the main streets, so I was currently walking through an alley.
After Kami-sama had left, I wore my adventurer gear and left the house. Preparing to enter the dungeon.
Just like Kami-sama had said, my knee’s injury was still very painful. The 6th floor monster was extremely fierce. It feels that it would still need a bit of time before it was completely healed.
Therefore, I can’t force myself. Can’t go on an adventure . No matter what happens, I cannot do mindless things. But, I should do things that I can do.
After having a clear target. Looking at that distant target. The day before yesterday, when I was still thinking that I must continue to strive forward, as if I had to catch up to the trend, but now it was completely different.
&nb
sp; After being scolded by Kami-sama, my mind had calmed down. I…I already had been moving forward at the maximum speed.
It was unfortunate that there was an undeniable time difference, but if I wanted to catch up to Wallenstein, this is the most certain and closest shortcut. If I forced myself, then in the end I would be the one to suffer.
I thought back about Kami-sama, who was seriously scolding me, “do not force yourself, do not force yourself”, using her tiny mouth to say this, and finally I reached the place I wanted to go.
Before heading to the dungeon, there is a place that I must go to.
“It’s a bit awkward……”
A “Closed” sign was in front of the door.
I hesitated for a while, then made up my mind and walked into the
“I’m very sorry, customer. Out shop is currently still preparing. Could you visit sometime later?”
“He came to Mia’s shop again, nya!”
From within the shop, the elf employee and the cat person employee were currently spreading the table cloth, but after noticing me, they immediately responded.
Regardless of which one, they are both very cute. The two of them, who were both wearing the same outfit as Seal-san, had delicate features and a sense of innocence, they belonged to different categories. I, who had recently noticed that I liked elves, heard her voice and became unconsciously tense.
“Sorry, I’m not a guest……About that, Seal-san……Is Seal Flover-san here? And also the female boss……
As if they noticed my words, they both looked over.
“Ahhhh! Isn’t it that person who ate and ran, nya?! After being served by Seal, completely ignoring her, that white-haired bastard, nya!!”
“Please be quiet, you”
“Bu-nya!”
“Forgive us. We will immediately call Seal and Mia-mama out.”
“Y…Yes……”
The cat person employee did not seem to follow the mood.
The young female beastman tugged at her cuffs, as if she was extremely scared of escorting the elf employee, I, who had nothing to do, looked around the shop interior.
It was different than when I came, the current appearance is the same as a tea shop. Most of the adventurers were raiding the dungeon in the morning, which was different than night time, is it because the customer’s goals are not the same?
