Tch, Loki used a suspicious expression to gaze at the female Goddess that was her former acquaintance.
“Indeed the numbers itself will make one doubt their ears……However, didn’t this child miraculously overturn the difference in Lv., and defeat that Minotaur?”
“……”
“If we use a little far-fetched reasoning, it should be fine. Under the situation where the enemy was a Minotaur that was filled with predestined relationship, the amount of
The entire God’s Meeting was surprised by every word that Freya said.
Inside the information of
It has already been a few thousand years since the Gods had bestowed
They cannot deny ——or perhaps they themselves do not know the possibilities that were currently sleeping somewhere. Even if this time a growth phenomenon that was beyond the usual course occurs, isn’t it nothing to worry about? ——Freya expressed this point in a roundabout manner.
Following this, the meeting suddenly entered a temporarily blank state.
Even though they were full of interest, at the very least, there was no need to forcibly reveal the state of Bell Cranel —— voices of following the rules between factions emerged. Shortly after, aside from a group of Gods, this had become the majority opinion.
Freya quietly smiled and with a elegant expression, she threw a gaze towards Hestia.
Towards the quietly sent silver gaze, Hestia, who was still stunned and could not keep up with the current situation, could only blink nonstop.
Soon, Freya stood up from her prepared seat.
“Huh, Freya-sama, are you leaving?”
“Ehehe. I suddenly have something urgent, please allow me to leave first.”
“Since it is a rare opportunity, why not discuss about the Loli Goddess’s dependent’s alias? It is already the last of the last.”
“Fufu, although I am sorry, but there really is no way.”
“However, also……”
Freya maintained her standing posture and picked up the data. She looked at Bell’s portrait and then said,
“If you want to make a name, then give him a cute name, okay?”
“ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ OK ——!!” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ”
Looking at the Goddess of Beauty’s best smile that was exposed today, the male Gods all let out a fresh smile and had a unified opinion. The female Goddess only sent them eyes that seemed to be looking at trash.
Freya finally revealed a smile again, and turned her back towards the round table.
“Okay, then become slightly serious when deciding the alias.”
“Of course.”
“However, this person……There is no special features.”
“Why not say that the person who can see through him is very amazing.” “Rumors or evaluations are basically not written above.”
The Gods suddenly became serious and actively discussed about Bell’s alias.
Facing the completely different atmosphere of the God’s Meeting, Hestia suddenly fell silent. Then, she turned her head to look at Hephaestus, who was beside her. Using her gaze to ask her: What on earth is this?.
After she revealed an impatient expression, it seems to be saying “Who knows?” and shrugged her shoulders.
“Why not say that the intelligence is too little. There is basically not enough to make a reference. There should be a limit on how lazy the guild can be.”
“When he
“Appearance, features……White hair coupled with red eyes……Rabbit……Why not call him Usagi Kichi?”
“No good, that is already used. It seems like a Blacksmith called Welf something already gave this name to his own forged armor.”
“He actually went ahead of a God……!!”
“That person called Welf something……Who on earth is he?”
“Ah —, Ganesha-sama, do you have any opinions —?”
“……I am…Ganesha!”
“Yes yes, Ganesha Ganesha.”
“Once we plan to think of a serious alias, there is no inspiration emerging —“
With the male Gods as the center, the discussion of this was not it and that was not it continued.
Anyways, it seems like she avoided the crisis. Hestia scratched her head and thought. Just at this moment.
A black shadow fell on top of her.
“……Loki?”
“……”
Standing beside her was Loki. She left her own seat and stared directly at Hestia.
With a calm face, her whole body exuded an atmosphere of having a poor mood. Loki muttered,
“……Be careful, shorty.”
“Eh?”
“I am telling you to keep your eyes sharp. Although I feel uncomfortable in giving advance to shorty……but letting that idiot act as she pleases, it is more unbearable to the current me.”
She was played, Loki lifted her head and said with a disgusted expression.
Following her gaze, Hestia saw Freya’s silver hair that was swaying and was about to leave the room.
“W…Wait a minute. Telling me to be careful, what are you saying?”
She was unable to grasp the essentials of what the other was saying and reflexively asked. Loki frowned.
After glaring at Hestia, as if she was saying “Do you still not understand?”, Loki moved her nose close to her nose.
“Idiot, be careful. That goddess protected your Familia’s child, you know?”
“……?”
Her thoughts stopped for a moment, Hestia could only look at the line of sight projected in front of her and trembled.
Loki raised her face and as if she was genuinely feeling admiration and hmph-ed.
“Ha, do you still not understand? What a lucky fellow……Forget it, since this has no relationship with me.”
Stupid ——Muttering this, Loki returned to her seat.
Under Hephaestus’s gaze that saw the whole event from start to finish, Hestia watched Loki’s figure and suddenly turn her gaze back towards the door that Freya used to leave.
She playback the words that Loki had said.
Then suddenly, she remembered the meaningful smile that the Goddess of Beauty had thrown to her.
……Freya protected? ……That child?
Just when this possibility was about to bloom from inside Hestia’s heart.
As if it was to interrupt her thoughts, the surrounding round table roared out.
“ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ Then it’s decided to be this one —!!” ” ” ” ” ” ”

It was not to the extent that it was strange.
However, inside the spacious interior of the guild’s headquarters, it was indeed shrouded in some kind of tension.
(Isn’t every body’s murderous intent extremely heavy?)
(I feel that it isn’t like this……)
Facing Misha, who leaned her mouth over near her own pointed ears, Eina quietly responded.
Their location was not the usual hall that they work at, but the second service room lined with a few number of office desks.
The spacious interior was completely different than usual. A heavy silent atmosphere was floating around them.
“Tulle, are you listening?”
“Ah……S…Sorry, team leader.”
After being called out by the voice in front of her, Eina hurriedly recovered herself. Misha, who was beside her, also straightened
her posture.
In front of them, a male beastman was sitting on a chair. He used a calm gaze to scan the document that Eina had edited he held in one hand.
“I’ll say it again, this thing……is basically telling the Lv.1 Adventurers to go die.”
“Yes……”
“Although it made you spend a great deal of effort, but based on the guild’s stance, we cannot publicize this kind of thing……Adventurer Bell Cranel’s growth model should first be hidden.”
That is also true——She thought of this inside her heart, Eina seemed to be standing there as if she was extremely sorry.
——Exploring the dungeon by himself (Solo Play), and with
The secret of Bell reaching Lv. 2 was probably just like this.
If they use this kind of activity record without changing it and branded it as a method of
They will say: “Are you looking down on us?” or something similar.
“……Let’s first hide the past, I will convince the higher ups.”
“I am extremely sorry……”
The supervisor with a slim face glanced at the report that Eina made again, then he placed it into his own desk. Probably this report will never appear in front of anyone again.
While he used his hand to scratch his head, which had furry beastman ears growing out, he revealed a speechless expression.
“Tulle, there is another thing.”
“May I ask what it is?”
“Don’t do such a reckless action again.”
“……Okay, I will pay attention in the future.”
In the end, he hoped that Eina would be more careful about the matter in the morning——She called out Bell’s personal information out loud. Eina bowed her head deeply. For him to show some mercy, Eina felt gratitude towards her considerate superior and sighed at herself.
Shortly after, Eina and the other’s superior turned his head away “Next is Flott” and called Misha.
“H…Here.”
“……The information provided to God’s Meeting was simply terrible, especially the last part of Bell Cranel.”
“T…Team leader~, that was an
“I understand what you are trying to say……but the entire thing is still too messy. If the Gods come here to complain, then Flott, you will deal with them by yourself. Even if it’s me, I cannot help you.”
“Uuuu~~Eina~~” Eina sighed again when Misha cried and held her shoulder. Their superior turned their back towards them and after informing them “You guys can go” , they left the place.
They did not immediately head back towards the main hall, but towards the pantry set up in the corner of the room.
Using the Magic Stone device, which they were already familiar with its operation, two portions of steaming red tea was quickly made.
“Haa, it really caused me a lot of trouble, Eina’s otouto-kun9……”
“What otouto……However, if it’s Misha, then you should already know that it was not all Bell’s fault?”
“I can’t hear it, I can’t hear anything at all ——”
Looking at the petite back of her human friend, Eina could only make a stunned expression.
The peach-colored hair was shaking, her back was also currently shrinking back in order to sip the tea.
After knowing each other from the same school district, this friend still has not changed. Eina could not help but make a wry smile.
“Speaking of which, as expected, the team leader cannot calm down? It seems that he was extremely anxious.”
“Ah, mmm, it was different than usual……”
Looking from the corner of the room, you could not feel any sense of calmness from the people inside the room.
Many employees were walking back and forth at the same location, the people who were sitting on the chair would also frequently confirm the time. The usual sound of the quill writing had completely disappeared.
In fact, Eina and the others had already noticed the culprit that caused this atmosphere.
“It is already pass 3 pm……The God’s Meeting should already be over, right?”
“Probably, the report with the results should have already been sent over……”
After the God’s Meeting is over, the scene in front of their eyes right now was something described as common.
At this point, what the employees were most concerned about was the aliases of the Adventurers. The Gods would confer an alias, which is something that the Lower World people would tremble with respect at. No matter who, they will still treat the results of the God’s Meeting as their own matter.
Looks like the superiors are also this anxious ——This was what Eina and Misha thought as they saw a similar scene at the hall.
“Eina is also very curious? What kind of alias will appear this time?”
“I……Yes, that’s right, if it’s this time, I am slightly more concerned about it.”
“As expected? Me too. Because the Adventurer I was in charge of
Just when the two of them began to chat, suddenly, without any warning, a banging sound appeared.
The sudden sound of the door opening made everybody turn their head over to look.
In front of the door, a employee who was holding a roll of files breathlessly was standing there.
“It came, the results of the God’s Meeting was sent over!”
“Waited for a long time!”
“Hey! Let me see quickly!”
Their actions could be described as god-speed.
Throwing away their work to the side, they scrambled to the entrance of the door. The group of people quickly bundled up together and the numerous parchments that recorded the title was passed through by the various hands.
Quickly, sounds of sighs echoed out.
“Look at this quickly, this alias.”
“Ooooo, amazing……”
“As expected from the Gods.”
“Ahhh, we are totally no match for them.”
“As expected, the Gods are different than us. It is actually
“It makes one’s hair stand up on its end.”
“The Gods could actually easily come up with this kind of title. They are truly an existence worthy of our respect.”
With the male employees as the focus, the guild headquarters began to bustle up.
Is there some sort of common language that exists? They really can be described as having the same likes and dislikes. Eina and the other’s superiors were also naturally mixed in the crowd and were passionately discussing about it. She did not know when the continuous shriek came from the female camp of another department appeared.
Suddenly hearing the burst of sound, Misha, who was beside her, suddenly shook her shoulder.
“I was actually a bit slow……Hurry, Eina!”
“Ah, yes.”
Eina followed Misha and ran out. After squeezing through the human walls, in order to browse the list of aliases, she worked together with Misha and it entered her eyes. At the same time, Eina’s mind depicted Bell’s face.
(N~nn , I hope that it would not be a hardcore name……)
What should she do if he was given a name like
Although this was not something that was unexpected, but Eina felt that style o
f alias was somewhat unsuitable for Bell. At the same time she revealed a wry smile, she hoped to see a slightly normal name ——Eina prayed inside her heart for this tiny wish.
“Eina, I got it —! I’ll give it to you, look quickly~!”
Eina received the list from Misha’s waving hand.
This was a parchment that listed out neatly the Adventurers and their aliases. Every piece, Eina glanced down from top to the bottom and exchanged it with the next one as she finished looking over it.
Then, at the very final page, Eina noticed the target’s name.
“——Ahaha.”
“Eh, is it Bell-kun’s?”
Eina could not help but leak out sounds of laughter.
She relaxed her cheeks and her tiny lips drew a gentle smile.
As Misha looked over her shoulder to view it, Eina read out the alias.
“He is called
