Epilogue: Familia’s Myth
That’s right, It was just the moment when Hestia failed to recruit a person for her [Familia] for the 50th time.
Within Hestia’s crestfallen eyes, she saw a small and slightly lonely silhouette.
Given the appearance from his silhouette, it was of human race. A boy with straight silver hair seemed to be depressed as well, just like Hestia. It seems that he had been wandering through the street without aim.
Because Hestia became interested in him, so she decided to follow him for a bit.
In order to be separated for by a certain distance and yet not be noticed, she hid herself within the shadow of buildings, made as few as noise possible at every footstep while ~tetetete~ running fast behind him.
Apparently, the boy was looking to enter a [Familia]. When he knocked at the door of a [Familia] he was turned down immediately at the front door. Based on what Hestia counted, there has already been 10 [Familia] that turned him down for a meeting. After being rejected, the boy powerlessly sat down.
While he dimly looked at the crowd on the street, he was also hopelessly searching for the place where he belong. If this state had continued, this loneliness would lead to death, that was what Hestia thought as she saw his pale face.
“Oi, you there. Because the back alley is dangerous, isn’t it better not to enter?”
It was to made him notice her, so she had to speak.
The boy who tried to enter the alley, turned around with a surprised look on his face, then looked down towards Hestia.
“T-thank you… err, what about you? You’re alone in this place, are you lost?”
“… Aren’t you the one who has eyes like a lost child?”
Their first encounter wasn’t very pleasant. This situation didn’t only occur just once, almost anyone who met Hestia for the first time, treated her like a child. After he knew the truth about Hestia’s identity, the boy repeated apologized with flustered face.
“He~. Then you already have been rejected by [Familia] one after another.”
“Y-yes…”
Hestia, who acted dumb to the circumstance, gave ~a chirari~ to steal glance at the depressed boy.
His appearance was unreliable indeed, it seemed like no problem at his personality. Or rather it was likable.
In a good and bay way, This boy is still a child, it can already be seen through this little communication.
“Ahh~. Mmmm~… Truthfully. I also can’t find anyone to become my [Familia] this time. What a coincidence isn’t it, I also wanted an Adventurer for my [Familia] if possible. That, yeah, well….”
While Hestia talked about her incompetence of failing to even get 1 Adventurer to become a member, with a unpleasant voice that seemed to be from desperation.
The boy, jumped up as soon as the story was heard.
“Let me in! Please let me in!”
“… A…are you sure? Do you seriously want to become my [Familia] even it’s just currently 1 member?”
“It’s good, it is no problem at all! Rather is it okay to let the likes of me to join?”
From there it was quick. The introduction of each other was finished between them, The [Familia] of Hestia and Bell was founded.
“Alright, Bell-kun, come with me! I will do the ceremony for joining a [Familia].”
“Yes!”
The two of them arrive in front of a shabby bookstore.
There is an old human inside of store, when Hestia was seen to enter, the old man with a short white beard approached.
“Yaa, Hestia-chan. If it’s about becoming a member of [Familia] I am going to refuse.”
“That’s not it! Ojii-san. Please let me borrow the library of second floor!”
“Yes-yes, I’ll lend it to you. If you want to read the book, please return the book to the original space.”
She ran up the stairs while pulling Bell’s hand, the smell of old wood had drifted from room.
Filled bookshelves occupied all sides of the room, there was even a mountain of book piled up in front of a shelf.
Hestia who didn’t have money to buy a book has spent all her time in this library thanks to the owner’s goodwill.
“Well, take off your clothes, then sit here.”
“M-my clothes?”
“Oh, it’s alright just to take off your top. From now on you will be engraved by my [Grace].”
Hestia happily begins to engrave Bell with the [God's Grace].
She had chosen this location to give the [Grace} for her first children, this was decided a long time ago. For me who like books, this will be the perfect place as a starting point.
The beginning of her story was to be surrounded by many books. Is it not an appropriate location.
"Bell-kun, did you ever wondered, why did you want to become an Adventurer?"
"A-actually, since I was little I longing to have a fated encounter in [The Sacred Labyrinth Dungeon]…!”
“Encounter-? The other party is a woman right? For such a thing, you wanted to become an Adventurer?”
“I…It is not such a thing! Having an encounter is great, it’s a Man’s Romance! Even my grandfather who raised me said [Harem is the best!] “
“You, it’s absolutely a mistake from the relative that took care of you.”
After a while, [God's Grace] finished been engraved.
In front of Hestia’s eyes, many character with jet-black color been engraved on the back of Bell. Hestia then gently stroke his back along with the character.
It was done with close resemblance to one page of an ancient book, one enumeration of sacred character.
It was a book called [Status].
(You, I wonder what kind of story will you create)
[Experience Points]… It is to say that the experience accumulated will be recorded within the [Status], so to speak,it is a record for those who received [Grace]. These children will allow their God to evaluate what they see and hear, then that is recorded into their back.
Wherever Bell walk his path, his story. Hestia will continue to write it.
“…Now, Bell-kun. Let’s work hard. The beginning of Our [Familia] will start from here.”
“Y, Yes!”
Golden light shone through the window, illuminating the room where dust been piled up.
In this crowded room, the unspeakable crowd of books seemed to bless the beginning of a new story.
An empty story was carved on the back of Bell, seeing this, Hestia smiles happily.
Afterwards, his story will written down by her own hand.
It is a story that the children will weave.
In the past, Adventurer’s stories has repeatedly occur.
That was what the Gods have kept a watch on, A Story about a Hero’s Myths.
This, The boy walks, The Goddess records.
