  Since I’m not her, I had no clue about what that child was thinking or hiding.

  ——You are also the same as the other Adventurers.

  It feels that this was how Lili’s eyes commented on me.

  × × ×

  “Eina, Eina”

  “Eh?”

  Inside the counter of the guild headquarters, Eina was currently working. Her female colleague, who was also responsible for receiving visitors, began to talk with her.

  What? She used her eyes to inquire this, she said “Look quickly, Look quickly”, and pointed to a certain direction.

  Her gaze followed the direction of the finger……In front of the gold exchange, a guild employee was currently in a fierce quarrel with an Adventurer.

  “Look quickly, it’s happening again. It’s a Adventurer again”

  “……”

  Eina reflexively frowned.

  She didn’t try to deliberately listen, but the angry roars emanating from that direction came over.

  “Only worth 12000 Varisu!? Don’t joke around, are you blind!”

  “Bastard, how long do you think I’ve worked in this career! My eyes can’t be mistaken!”

  Eina understood that it was a dispute based around the contents of the gold exchange.

  Actually this kind of scene was actually not that surprising. Adventurers are using their lives as chips to enter the dungeon. They will mostly have an expectant mood when heading to the gold exchange. If the price was lower than what they had expected, then they will definitely raise their voice and strongly refute it. This was also forgivable.

  The guild was already used to dealing with this kind of situation. The appraisal employees at the gold exchange are all carefully selected to have the most guts and courage. Currently, they were also yelling at a volume that did not lose to the Adventurer.

  Yes, this type of scene was already common.

  “Did you even properly appraise the loot as well!? Hey, go check it again! Quickly, It should not be this, It should not be this little……?”

  However, this trouble was caused by the again. This abnormal scene was quickly becoming common for them.

  The core members of purposely finding faults with the gold exchange’s assessment was already too numerous to count. It happens continuously every day. Towards the repeated yellings, even the appraisal employees did not withdraw.

  They will normally raise a claim, which is and only this point.

  It was an unusual and incredible dedication to money.

  Just by looking at it, you will feel the chills. That was how strong their desire for money was.

  “Nnnn~, being stared at by the eyes that seem to wish to rip out your eyes, disgusting! It is lucky that I am not responsible for the people in ~”

  “……”

  Eina could not help but reveal a bitter expression to her human friend, who was freely expressing her opinion.

  Although Eina had never acted as an adviser for the Adventurers in , but it has gotten to the point where she couldn’t keep out of their affairs.

  “Damn it, if this is it……Only this little……!?”

  Looking at the Adventurer, who held his head with both hands and left, from a distance, Eina, herself, also held onto her forehead as if she was enduring a headache.

  (Looks like it was still too early, right……)

  × × ×

  The existence of a Supporter like Lili was dramatic.

  First, because she was carrying the backpack, it wasn’t necessary for me to transport my rewards back to the ground level. I was able to stay in the dungeon for longer periods of time.

  Every time I explored and entered a new floor, it will also mean that the repeated distance between the dungeon and gold exchange will also increase (This also means that the time I can spend in the dungeon will also be shortened). As the floor achieved increased, my revenue should also increase, this was not always the case. In order words, it was the time loss.

  Today, this problem was beautifully solved.

  Thanks to Lili, it was no longer necessary for me to equip the heavy backpack. My body had become lighter and it began to show off its talent on the 7th floor. The amount of monsters that I hunted, even I do not know how many I killed.

  The instant the enemy appeared in front of my eyes, I would swing my dagger. Then Lili will swiftly recover the Magic Stone and the randomly appearing Loot.

  This was the result.

  The amount of money that I earned from the gold exchange in the guild was ——

  “ “…………” ”

  Towards the opening of the flaxen bag, Lili and I placed our foreheads together and looked inside.

  The scene that was seen through the wide opening was …………Coins Coins Coins Coins.

  Countless number of coins, it can be said that it was extremely crowded in the overly narrow bag.

  It was dazzling.

  “ “ 26000 Varisu……” ”

  The two of us lifted our head together from the bag and looked at each other at an extremely close range.

  The next instant.

  “ “YAAAAAAAAA ————————!!” ”

  We both jumped out while cheering!

  “Amazing, Amazing! Even though there obviously wasn’t that many Loot, just by Bell-sama himself was able to earn more than 25000 Varisu!!”

  “WAAA, WAAA, WAAA! Is this a dream! It is reality right!? Actually being able to earn this much money in one day……This is also thanks to Lili!”

  Hooray for Supporter!

  “Don’t say such foolish words, Bell-sama. Although this is related to the type of monster and the Loot, a 5-man party of Level 1s may spend an entire day and still not be able to earn 25000 Varisu. In other words, Bell-sama was more productive than them by himself!”

  “No, you see, isn’t there a saying about how if a rabbit is praised, then it will also be able to climb a tree! It is that one, that one!”

  “Although Lili do not fully understand what Bell-sama is trying to say, this is your glory! Bell-sama is amazing! We should continue to strive for better results!!”

  “You’ve praised me too much Lili!”

  Although the excitement seemed to become more and more intense, but we still couldn’t stop.

  Even though we were not at a bar, but the two of us continued to laugh and smile.

  Because it was night had already fallen, so the simple canteen in Babel had no other Adventurers aside from us. The others must have entered a variety of bars.

  Ya~, I clapped my hands against Lili, who was standing up on a chair, our excitement had reached its climax.

  “……Then, Bell-sama, it is about time to split the rewards?”

  “Ah, yes!

  Doba, I handed 13000 Varisu to Lili.

  “…………Eh?”

  “Ahhh, if that is the case, then perhaps I can normally let Kami-sama eat delicious food…….”

  Holding my fist, a scene emerged from my mind.

  I will finally able to pay back my debt of gratitude towards Kami-sama!

  Although Lili’s eyes suddenly became a dot, I did not care and continued to be immersed in my own imagination.

  “B…Bell-sama, this is……?”

  “Your share, didn’t we say so already! Ah, right! Since this doesn’t happen often, why don’t you come with me together to a bar? I know a very tasty shop!”

  I invited her while I was in a good mood, but Lili widened her eyes and held her breath.

  Ah, didn’t she say that she did not wish to go to the before?

  But, forget it, it should be okay! Only for today!

  “Hurry, let’s go Lili!”

  “B…Bell-sama!”

  We must hurry for the our own good! I, who was swiftly packing up, Lili called out.

  Eh? Revealing an incredulous expression, she gen
tly moved her thin lips.

  “……Y….You’re not going to monopolize it…….Bell-sama, did not think about it?”

  “Eh, why?”

  I, who felt incredulous deep down, asked back.

  Towards my response of asking back a question, Lili was loss for words.

  “If it was by myself, I will certainly not be able to get such a result. It was because Lili was here right?”

  So, thank you, I happily said.

  From now on, please take care of me, I added another sentence.

  Being able to encounter Lili was really great, I revealed a smile.

  “……”

  “Lili, hurry up, let’s go?”

  I stretched out a hand towards Lili, who suddenly lifted up her head to look at me.

  Towards the outstretched hand, she only just stared at it, then she slowly overlapped it with her own hand.

  “……Strange”

  That whisper, I completely missed it.

  [Equipment]

 

  The first defensive series of [Hephaestus’s Familia> affiliated Welf Crosso’s creation.

  The name of this creation was once called that, and due to an incident, it had its name changed. The reason why it was placed in the box was because of the incident. It gently left an impact on Bell’s heart.

  Using the Drop Loot as the material. Bell had once said that it was

  It can be said that the defense of it was extremely high to the extent that the ’s management team also gave an excellent evaluation.

 

  Selling price of 7700 Varisu.

  A present given by Eina. It is the same color as her eyes, which is jade color.

  It is a hand armor that has the same purpose as a shield. Although its durability is lower than a pure shield, but it is very light.

  It uses it long length to compensate for the narrow width. It is able to store dagger and short sword.

  Interlude: Alas, Goddess-sama!

  The color that covered the sky was gradually turning from a bright dark red color into the deep blue color of evening.

  Western Orario. The West Main Street was composed of many employees that were coming home back from work or a party of Adventurers that had just finished their dungeon exploration. Right now, it was also the most bustling time period that happens within a day.

  “F…Finally survived today……”

  Mixed with the crowd of people, Hestia staggered forward on the road. She was staggering towards her home as if she was trying to escape from the skyscraper in the center of Orario.

  She was currently returning home after completing her work at the Babel branch.

  “That person, Hephaestus, shouldn’t it be possible to be slightly merciful…….”

  Even though it was because she had to repay money. It was still extremely cruel to Hestia, who was now forced to experience the bits and pieces of a busy work for the first time, since she had always lived on the basis of a lazy life.

  She did not know whether it was due to her Goddess friend’s orders, but the children working at that branch had no respect towards a Goddess. It was to the extent that it can be said that they would not restrain themselves while ordering her. Towards the job that was given to her, she repeatedly issued a sigh.

  The wish of Hephaestus, who wished to correct Hestia’s personality of wanting to rely on others from the root, could be seen from here.

  “Ah, I really want to see Bell-kun……!”

  Hestia, who had her mind and body completely drained due to the continuous days of hard work, recalled the matter about her own family’s dependent.

  It had already become a daily activity during this time to look forward to gently receiving the boy that had come back from the dungeon —— Thus she would often leave early from work——, but today the position was completely reversed.

  She really wanted to quick jump into his chest and act like a spoiled child. Hestia, who was fantasizing about these things, dragged her heavy body and sped up to return home.

  “——Nnnn!?”

  Among the crowd in the Main Street Area, she saw a thing that looked like a rabbit from the corner of her eyes, Hestia almost reflexively looked back.

  Mixed in the middle of the crowd with many races, a familiar figure would appear for some time and disappear again.

  ——It’s Bell-kun!

  Hestia’s round eyes twinkled as she instantly noticed that body.

  Perhaps he had finished his dungeon exploration and was preparing to go home. He was wearing his new defensive equipment and had his back facing her. He was currently heading in the direction of their residence.

  Hestia, like a fish that had just been returned to water, instantly recovered, took a step and prepared to approach Bell, who was in front of her——but in the next moment.

  “!?”

  A figure that was extremely close to Bell, that was covered by the crowd earlier and could not be seen, entered her view.

  Its body was even smaller than Hestia, the big round robe was holding a backpack on the outside. Although it was difficult to judge from the back whether the gender or other details, but Hestia was certain that it was the same gender as her.

  If it was a male, they will wish to protect, and to protect that mysterious girl, he was currently stretching out his hand beside him.

  Then, towards the girl he was looking at, Bell’s appearance from the side was a kind smile.

  ——Gaan! This shock pierced through Hestia’s head.

  To her, who was extremely fatigue both physically and mentally, this additional attack was equivalent to causing her to stop breathing. The boy, that was her final reliance, actually revealed such a happy to smile to a woman beside from her, and the scene, that seemed to be like heaven falling down to the ground, complemented each other. The amount of damage Hestia suffered was immeasurable.

  This matter about how that this girl was the Supporter that he talked about in Babel, she had no chance to be aware of it. Hestia embraced a great sadness, staggered a few steps, then finally turned around and left.

  × × ×

  “——Listen to me, Miach! Bell-kun, he, Bell-kun is having an affair!”

  Dan!, Banging the glass cup, that she had drained the wine in one attempt onto the table, Hestia cried out with tears.

  In a pub that was built in an alley near the outskirts, slightly far away from the Main Street. Within the old, wooden and narrow space, most of it was occupied by Adventurers who were wearing crude equipment. The rowdy laughter and the inelegant conversations were issued everywhere.

  Mixed among the Adventurers, who were drinking cheap wine, Hestia told the events that she had previously witnessed to the God that was sitting across from her.

  “Affair? If that’s the case, we must care about it. However, I still can’t imagine the scene of Bell doing such a thing.”

  Using a careful tone and issued a slightly muffled deep voice, the handsome male God, Miach, was currently nodded his head against Hestia’s complaints, while voicing his own opinion. Wearing a worn and deformed robe, and without a strange feeling, he was integrated into this old renovated bar.

  Hestia and Miach are the lowest o
f the lowest —— The God of ’s that are near the bottom, having a similar identity, so their relationship ran quite deep. The who creates and sells potions and the ’s relationship was also quite close. The Gods also have a certain degree of understanding about the members of these two factions.

  Even though he met Hestia by chance on the Main Street and was forcibly dragged here to accompany her for drinking wine, Miach still did not reveal a trace of disgust on his face and listened carefully to her words.

  “I personally saw it! The moment that Bell-kun was holding hands with the girl he had a good relationship with! Isn’t that a conclusive evidence that cannot be more conclusive!?”

  “Bell may also have Bell’s own circumstances, and there must be a circle that he interacts with. I feel that saying that it is a conclusive evidence is still too early……And anyways, it’s weird to say that it is an affair when you are not a couple or lovers.”

  The last half of the sentence did not enter Hestia’s ears as she drained a glass of wine.

  Looks like today she’ll get drunk and act crazy again. Miach shook his blue hair and deeply sighed.

  “Damn! Who is that girl anyways!? Bell-kun is MINE, AHHHHH!”

  “Just like that. That speech, even if you are his Goddess, it is still too outrageous. Bell isn’t anyone’s”

  “I know, ahhh, this kind of thing! I only want to say it! No, it is that I only wanted to say it before!!”

  “Are you already drunk?”

  “Not even close!”

  If I don’t get drunk, how will I pass my life, said Hestia, who seemed to be chugging the wine as she poured it. Once she noticed that the table was filled with glass cups and beer bottles, bon, the moment she thought that she had to look from afar again……Then her eyes suddenly became moist and she shouted.

  “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Bell-kun, Bell-kun, Bell-kun, Bell~kun~! I beg you, please don’t disappear in front of me AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH —!!”

  “Hey, hey! You’re too loud Hestia!”

  Facing the specially loud cry that overshadowed all the commotions nearby, Miach was also suddenly overwhelmed and was at a loss on what to do. The other customer’s gaze also stared at Hestia, and bombarded the two of them.
