21 Ch.21 Diving Again°

Since there was no more excitement to watch, the other guests in the tavern also returned to their seats.

"I told you, should you have to fight every time you meet? Are you really not tired? At least give a little attention to the demeanor that a god should have!"

Seeing that Hestia and Loki were quiet, Hephaestus walked between the two goddesses and looked at them helplessly with her hands on her hips.

In some ways, her relationship with these two guys is still very good.

"Yo, Hephaestus, long time no see. In fact, we don't want to care about some people who only know how to eat white rice. It's just her, uh... let's not talk about this, this little boy?"

Loki, who was planning to speak harshly at first, resolutely chose to follow her heart after seeing Riveria's unfriendly eyes and could only change the subject hastily.

After all, her head is still aching!

On the other hand, Estelle, who pulled Hestia away just now, also aroused her interest.

Even though the divine power was sealed, the eyesight of a god still existed. The hidden aura on Estelle's body immediately caught her attention.

The other party didn't look like a newcomer at all, but he didn't have even the slightest aura about him.

There is no doubt that it is a hidden seedling!

"This is Estelle, who just joined the family today." Mentioning Estelle, Hephaestus suddenly showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

This scene fell into Loki's eyes, and the corners of the mouth of the god of tricks also quietly twitched.

"Hey?! Hephaestus, you seem to be very optimistic about this kid. Is there anything special about him? I'm really curious!"

Saying so, Loki suddenly rushed to Estelle with a 'swish', opened his eyes, and looked up and down carefully, as if he wanted to see the characteristics that Hephaestus would like in the latter.

However, Estelle, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, did not show the slightest clue.

When Loki was observing himself, Estelle was also observing Loki in front of him.

Of course, he is aware of the temperament of this person in front of him, and she always likes to play pranks on the targets she is interested in to achieve inner pleasure while the other party is showing ugliness.

It might be more accurate to call her the goddess of mischief rather than the so-called goddess of lies and tricks.

However, it is just such an incomprehensible guy who pulls out such a powerful family with one hand. I have to admire Loki's skill; it is indeed extraordinary.

But now, maybe it has already degenerated because of being a shopkeeper!

"Hey, boy, I seem to feel malice from you. Are you thinking badly about me in your heart?"

Just when Estelle was thinking alone, Loki, who seemed to be aware of his inner thoughts, suddenly spoke, which made him startled. 

 

I want to explain, but lies are not convincing in the face of gods.

There was no way; Estelle could only quickly dispel the thoughts in his mind, and Loki didn't seem to have any further thoughts, so he escaped.

Maybe it's because of Hephaestus's face!

"Forget it; if it's the dwarf's family, we might still teach it a lesson, but since this child is your child, then it's fine."

"Let's go first, and we have to celebrate with my children. See you next time, Hephaestus and the little man!"

After greeting, Loki pulled Riveria and turned to leave.

The table not far from here is the position of the Loki family, where many high-level adventurers of the Loki family have gathered, and they still look at this side from time to time.

Apparently, they came to celebrate too.

"Tch, what a spoiler! I hate it to death!"

"Hestia!!!"

"Got it, got it; for the sake of Hephaestus, I won't bother with that dead tablet; hurry up and order; I'm about to starve to death!"

Hestia, who was warned by Hephaestus's eyes, stopped talking, sat down on her own, and beckoned to Lunoire to start ordering. Seeing her gaze in all directions, it seemed that she was going to get food to vent.

In this regard, although Hephaestus sighed helplessly, she did not open her mouth to stop.

Anyway, she is also her godfriend, and the relationship is very close. Although she is a bit lazy, she has a really good personality. Today is a welcome party to celebrate Estelle's joining, so let her be a little bit more presumptuous!

"What's the matter, Est, Are you curious about the Loki family?"

Hephaestus turned around and noticed that Estelle's eyes were vaguely staying in the direction of the Loki family, and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, Goddess Hephaestus, I just think that some adventurers are very powerful."

Estelle nodded his head lightly and looked away from Loki's family and the others.

He didn't lie; he was just speaking from his heart. Whether it was Finn, Ais, or Riveria, whom he had met before, they all gave him a great sense of oppression.

That kind of power is almost impossible to fight back with.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Estelle's response, Hephaestus couldn't help but smile slightly. "Don't be envious; your talent is no worse than anyone else; at least you are one of the best adventurers I have ever seen, and sooner or later, you will also become a first-level adventurer that is respected by others; so do your best!"

"Yes, Lord God, I will!"

 …

The encounter with the Loki family was just a small episode and did not cause the slightest disturbance.

The celebration was extremely lively, although there were only four people. Whether it was Goddess Hephaestus and Tsubaki or Goddess Hestia who came to have dinner, they all showed a warm welcome.

Just as the celebration ceremony deepened, the atmosphere quietly changed.

Perhaps because of the interest, Hestia and Hephaestus just had a drink together in front of Estelle, and the loud shouts echoed in his ears all the time.

Even Tsubaki joined in too.

Seeing this scene, Estelle, the only one who hadn't been drinking, twitched slightly, and an inexplicable idea appeared in his mind.

Today's dinner may not be his welcome ceremony; it's just because the two goddesses in front of him just want to drink!

Estelle didn't drink; one reason is that he has a low tolerance for alcohol, and the other reason is that if someone gets drunk later, he will carry them back.

It's impossible to throw them on the side of the road.

In this way, in such a jubilant atmosphere, the welcome celebration also came to an end.

Without any accident, Hestia, who was petite, fell down first. Although Hestia and Tsubaki were not completely drunk, they had already started to feel dizzy.

Knowing that it couldn't go on any longer, after Estelle paid the money, he led the three of them towards the main base.

As for your question about how to take three people...

Carry the goddess Hephaestus on his back, and then support the goddess Hestia and Tsubaki, who can barely take care of themselves in his arm.

They were excited when they came but embarrassed when they came back.

Fortunately, the three women are not particularly heavy; even if he is the only one, there is no problem.

Enjoying the bursts of fragrance from all directions, Estelle held Hephaestus thighs tightly and walked towards the family residence in the night.

The first night after joining familia was spent so uneventfully.

Although it was not as lively as expected, it was simply joyful.

 …

Boom!

A loud noise woke up Estelle who was in a sleeping state.

He hurriedly opened his eyes, ignored the ceiling in front of him, jumped up from the bed.

Tsubaki's familiar face immediately came into view.

"Yo, good morning, Est, How did you rest last night?"

"It's you, Head," Estelle who had figured out the situation, said. A helpless expression appeared on his face again. "Leader, please come to my room next time. Time, can you knock on the door first? I just repaired the door yesterday, but you broke it again today!"

Looking at the wooden door that was about to be completely torn apart, Estelle felt it was difficult to breathe.

On the other hand, the culprit who caused all this is still full of ignorance.

"Oh, it's not an important thing. It's fine if you can't fix it later...Okay, I'll pay attention to it next time. Is that okay?"

Tsubaki was a little overwhelmed by the death stare from Estelle, so she could only make a promise quickly.

Although he is still skeptical about the latter's words, Estelle can only believe this statement now.

After he got up, put on his coat, and finished tidying up the bed, he looked at Tsubaki again and asked, "So what's the matter with you coming to knock on the door so early, Head?"

"I was interrupted by you, and I almost forgot about the business!"

Tsubaki showed a reproachful look, stepped forward to catch Estelle's hand, was about to pull it out, and kept urging: "Come with me; we will go down again.
