of that child.
Of course, if she was to take action against a child that had made a pact with another god——Which means she wanted to snatch him away——It will definitely lead to a large dispute. If the fighting force of the
Freya did not deny the words of Loki.
“Really now, you perverted goddess, you still have that much motivation all year round, you don’t care who it is and still want to do it?”
“Oh ho I’m really sorry, but I still have the ability to distinguish.”
“Nonsense, you obviously still trick those male gods.”
“Having connections with them brings a variety of convenience, you can get a lot of accommodations.”
Uh, Loki’s voice rang out loudly, she did not care and said you really have bad taste, Freya replied by saying, only just a little and shrugged her delicate shoulders.
There was already no need to question her matter anymore, Loki issued a loud sound and pressed her entire weight onto the back of the chair.
Her two hands held onto the back of her head and she gently leaned backwards. Freya also picked up a cold cup and drank some water, the quiet space also became more relaxed.
The atmosphere between the two had already changed to a bright and sunny atmosphere, the sound of the bustling noise from the street entered their ears.
A gentle wind blew in from the opened windows and gently raised Freya’s gown.
“And then?”
“……?”
“What’s that person like, the child that you took a fancy to? When did you find him?”
Tell me, Loki increased her tone.
She requested it, tell me this tiny thing, she seemed to have gone into full throttle in goading this out.
If you do not tell me, I will not let you leave, her excited eyes conveyed this.
“……”
“Because of you, I spent so much effort, so I have at least the right to listen to it.”
Listening to Loki pulling up such a far-fetched reason, Freya’s left hand supported her cheeks while she looked outside of the window.
On the main street, people were walking back and forth, it was an extremely bustling scene. Freya seemed to be chasing the scene in her memory, under the hood, her silver eyes gazed at a distant location.
“……He isn’t very strong. Compared to your or my Familia, that child is still completely unreliable. He would be hurt because of very small matters, would easily cry……that child is that kind of person.”
However, Freya’s tiny lips continued to speak.
“He is very charming and pure. In that child, I have seen a brilliance that I have never seen before.”
Although it was not noticeable, but her voice did indeed go up a pitch slightly, and from it, you could feel the slightest enthusiasm.
“Noticing him was really accidental. He suddenly appeared in my eyesight.”
Freya recalled the memories of the encounter while continuing to organize her speech. As if she was trying hard to reproduce the encounter with him and looked at the scenery outside the window.
“At that time, it was also similar to the current scene……”
The daylight that came from the morning leaked out to the west side of the Main Street.
From the opposite side of the road, a boy was heading towards this direction.
Yes, just like right now, it was the same as the one running around within her visions.
“————“
Freya’s entire body froze.
In her pair of silver eyes, it was closely pegged to an
He moved across the crowd, sometimes he would slow down, sometimes he would stop for a moment, then he rush forward.
He was heading in the direction of the coliseum, his goal is the Monster Festival probably. As if he was surging through the crowd in general, the boy headed towards the round and massive facility.
Freya, who was looking at the silhouette that was about to disappear, slowly, her face revealed a charming smile.
“Excuse me, I suddenly remembered something.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll see you next time.”
Freya stood up and left, leaving a stunned Loki remaining at the same place.
She used her clock and wrapped around her body and left the shop.
Inside the shop, only Loki and Aizu was left.
“What the, that fellow suddenly just went away.”
Loki, who had a surprised expression, stared at the stairs which Freya used to leave.
Loki thought for a while then she made an “Eh?” sound, and was filled with doubts.
Beside her, from a short distant to the window side, Aizu also stared at the outside street.
“Aizu, what’s up? Is there something wrong?”
“……No”
Just when she prepared to say nothing happened, Aizu continued to stare outside the window.
Her pair of golden eyes, there was no doubt that it was the same as the silver eyes of the goddess, chasing after the familiar silver hair.

“Come, this is for you.”
“Ohhhhhh……!?”
Once she received a tiny box from Hephaestus, who was wearing her work clothes, Hestia could not help but exclaimed. She could tell that in order to make the gorgeous box, Hepheastus’s eyes were still shining with brilliance.
“This should be enough to meet your expectations right?”
“Yes, completely enough! There is absolutely not even the slightest objections!”
With a Wow sound, while she opened the box, Hestia looked inside the box.
Inside, it housed a pure black sheath, even the dagger handle was even pure black.
The entire weapon from top to bottom was pitched-black, although the appearance looks simple, but it was completed by a power far exceeding Hestia’s, and it was the masterpiece of Hephaestus.
It looks like it was made exclusive to Bell, using nearly almost an entire day’s worth of time to create this weapon. Hestia’s face emerged an never seen before satisfied expression.
“Ah, right. The weapon should be named by Hephaestus right!? If it is possible, let me name it! Right right, because this is the crystallization of Bell and my love, let’s call it
“No, it makes it feel like a cheap product……But, also, this is indeed a weapon just for you, the
Nono, this is too embarrassing. Hestia who was elated suddenly covered her face. Her twintails on the side of her head, seemed to express the owner’s mood, and was happily and shyly shaking.
“First of all, the money is only lent to you, you will not be allowed to go back on a debt~”
“I know~ I know!”
Hephaestus let her hair down and put on a hairpin while she said this. Hestia, who jumping in joy, also replied with a smile on her face.
When her friend had finished packing, she prepared to leave this place in haste.
“Are you ready to leave now?”
“Yes, Sorry for the inconvenience!”
As if she was sitting on a needle and was restless, Hestia’s actions were extremely swift, she walked towards the door of the room.
“Hestia, you should also take a little break~~!”
Hearing the call behind her, but Hestia did not turn around and reply. She only gently waved her hand.
Coming out from the tiny room located next to the workshop, Hestia moved at the same speed and quickly exited Hephaestus’s shop.
(Ah~! I really want to quickly show this to Bell-kun~)
What kind of expression will that child make, just thinking about this, Hestia felt extremely happy.
Wil
l he be pleased because he received something? Or would he use respectful eyes to look at me? Or perhaps would he be crying tears of emotions?
Hestia imagined various good scenes of their encounter, her happiness on her face completely did not move on. She tried to move forward on the road while she smiled, her entire face was as brilliant as if flowers have just bloomed.
Then after Hestia had calmed down for a while, she headed towards the North West Main Street, thinking that whether if she should go home to wait for Bell. Although it was extremely tempting, and she would like to present to him this present as soon as possible, but in reality, she had no idea where he is right now.
If it was around this time, she was afraid that he would be hovering around the dungeon……
“Eh? ……Ahhh, so that was it.”
Hestia, who was contemplating, noticed a leaflet posted on a certain shop, the corner of her mouth rose up and revealed a subtle smile that others would not be able to see, her face was filled with pride.
On the leaflet, it recorded the agenda and the program schedule for the Monster Festival held today.
(Today is the annual Philia Festival……If that idiotic youngster who just came to the city knew about the festival, then he must be extremely interested in it and headed to watch it……)
If that’s the case, if she also head there, perhaps they will be able to meet up. Expecting the Festival venue to be extremely chaotic, if they want to successfully meet up, then generally they would need a lot of luck. But this concern was completely unable to stop Hestia who was jumping with joy.
I have already foreseen the actions of Bell-kun! Hestia showed off her baseless confidence and decided to head over to the festival venue.
Her goal is the East Main Street.
“Hey~ Taxi!”
That petite body and cute little hands tried hard to stretched towards the outside, attempting to call the carriage that was headed in that direction.
Then, a youth who looked extremely young drove a carriage and stopped in front of Hestia. She jumped on while saying “Could you please head to the East Main Street!”, and told the driver her destination.
“Yes yes, understood. You also want to head over to the Monster Festival right, Goddess-sama?”
“Ah ah, something like that.”
Following the sound of a whip snapping, the carriage immediately moved. The wheels constantly turned on the stone road and emitted knocking sounds and an intense bumps, it had completely surrounded Hestia who was seated inside.
The Labyrinth city was extremely huge. Although it only housed adventurers and Familia members all over the world, but its total area is also one of the largest compared to the other cities. In this huge city, as a mean of transport, such as carriages was also very natural. And now, businesses of transporting people or cargo had also gradually been accepted.
By the way, the term
“I want to hurry over there. Although it is very crowded, but could you please be a little bit faster?”
“Ah, I can not find a reason to reject the request of a Goddess-sama, please hold on tight.”
The youth readily agreed to accept Hestia’s request, and then skillfully increased the speed while driving the carriage.
He avoided the crowds in the street and went through numerous small streets. In order to head over to the East Main Street, he even used streets that the carriage would just barely brush through. While she talked happily with the youth who only had a maximum difference of 5 years compared to Bell, Hestia happily looked at the vibrant streets due to the festival.
“Ah. Sorry Goddess-sama, from here on, it is impossible to continue forward.
“If that’s the case.”
The swift carriage had stopped. East Main Street was just around the corner and the density of the crowd had also increased by a lot, it really did not have any gaps for the carriage to pass through.
Hestia, who was sitting behind the youth that bowed his head, immediately though that if it was here, then there should be no problems and then prepared to leave the carriage.
“Okay, driver-kun, it is completely enough. I can walk from her now.”
“I am really really sorry about this. Although it is dim, but if I had taken the alley on the road, it would be easier to reach the Main Street.”
“Thank you. Well, how much is the fare?”
“A total of 90 Varisu.”
Hestia took out her bag and turned it upside down, and placed all the money inside to the youth who provided the service.
“Fufu. There is no need to hand over the change. The rest is tips given to you!”
“No, um, there is only just enough money……”
Before hearing the words of the youth, Hestia had already completely ran off into an alley. Although she felt a pitiful stare coming from behind, but she completely ignored it and left the place.
The alley was slightly dim. However, there were not many people compared to the outside street, just like the youth had said, it would be a smooth walk. Hestia held onto the box with the dagger while she continued to walk down the alley.
Shortly after, another figure appeared in the alley.
“That, Could it be, Freya?”
“……Hestia?”
At the crossroad, at the path of the other direction of Hestia’s was a female wrapped around by a purple cloak. From the hood, you can see her beautiful silver hair appearing. Hestia thought that she recognized that hair, thought for a moment, then Hestia matched it to the owner of the hair.
“Are you also heading to the Monster Festival? Walking this kind of path, looks like you are also in a hurry right?”
“……Uh, Yes. Because I cannot walk properly on the Main Street where all the pedestrians are, so this is the only way I can avoid their eyes while walking forward.”
“Ah~ So being a
To her, this goddess who was called the incarnate of beauty, even if she dressed up, if she walked down the Main Street, she would certainly cause chaos to the surroundings. She would also not be able to call a carriage ride, so she could only use this kind of sneaky and low-exposure method to reach her destination.
Hestia hmm in her mouth and nodded towards Freya, who was slightly smiling under her cloak.
“Ah, that’s right. Freya, did you see my Familia’s child? I am currently looking for him.”
“……”
“It is a white hair, red-eyed human……Right right, just like a rabbit!”
Hestia danced while happily explaining things about Bell. In contrast, Freya’s smile disappeared from her face and quiet down.
However, the smile immediately emerged once again on her face and she pointed down the road she had just came from.
“After saying this, I think I seem to have seen him in front of the East Main Street.”
“Really! ?”
“Yes yes, seems like he was directly heading to the Coliseum. Walk down this path and then turn left, then you should be able to be in front of him~”
Hestia’s face immediately changed and she happily said “Thank you!” and completely accepted her suggestion.
Hestia smiled and prepared to say goodbye to Freya, then she also embarked on the new path.
Shortly after walking down the path that she was pointed to, the warm sun rays shone down in front of the path.
It was still early. Hestia immediately ran to the end of the alley and reached the East Main Street.
What awaits here was a dense crowd without any gaps.
In the midst of the crowd, there was the figure of Bell who was trying hard to surge forward.
“Hey~! Bell-kun~~!”
× × ×
“Eh?”
Hearing someone call my name, I turned around and looked. For a while, I could not help but widen my ow
n eyes.
It was the missing Kami-sama, trying hard to push through the crowd and walking quickly towards here.
“Kami-sama!? Why are you here!?”
“Hey hey, don’t say these stupid words. Because I want to meet you, isn’t it obvious!”
Kami-sama, who walked up in front of me and stopped, suddenly seemed to be proudly straighten her massive boobs and replied my question.
Facing this answer that could not be considered as an answer, I could not help but have cold sweat.
“No, although you wanted to see me. It isn’t the matter……Then, what happened today……”
“No, even this is great! Just now I was thinking of meeting you, who could imagine that I really encountered you as a result! Looks like there isn’t a simple fate between the two of us, Fufufu~”
……Looks like my words completely did not enter her.
In front of Kami-sama, who was completely immersed in her own world, I completely did not know where I was thrown to.
“K…Kami-sama? Although I think it is rather rude, but can I ask you what exactly have you been doing?”
“Hehe……You want to know? The reason why I am so happy.”
“Yes.”
Just when I said this, Kami-sama seemed to have stopped all conversation.
She looked around the crowded and bustling streets due to the festival, then she said just wait a minute and stared up into the sky, as if she was considering something.
“……Yes, we are rarely together. As expected, I cannot tell you right now.”
“Ehhhhh!?”
“I want to leave the fun and happy things at the very end.”
I completely did not imagine this situation, and during the moment where my face had froze, Kami-sama grabbed onto my hand and pulled me while heading forward.
Because I suddenly had a feeling of being gripped on my right hand, I was stunned and my heartbeat also slowed down.
“Let’s have a date, Bell-kun.”
Afterwards, Kami-sama turned around, smiled and said this to me.
“……DDDD…DATE!?”
“Ah, yes. This street is also very festive, there is no reason for us not to have fun right?”
“No, but, date……”
“Fufu, Then let’s go, Bell-kun!”
Seeing me, who had become completely flushed, Kami-sama seemed to become even happier and had a pleased smile. Her tiny and soft fingers firmly grasped onto my hand, leading me through the bustling crowd.
