Chapter 16: No, what are you thinking about?

"Eina, I'm back..."

　　Asuna, who was tired from the journey, sat on the sofa tiredly, sipping the coffee that Eina poured for her.

　　"Why did you come up so quickly?" Eina asked teasingly, "With the strength of our Lady Asuna, how could she come up on her own initiative if she hadn't been in the dungeon for several weeks~"

　　Asuna sighed deeply.

　　"There is no way, there are too many monsters, we can't finish them all..."

　　"What floor have you reached?"

　　Eina frowned, smiled, and asked without any emotion in her tone.

　　"..." Asuna suddenly shivered and glanced at Eina quietly.

　　I checked the look, it was the look that wanted to teach me!

　　"Four...no! Thirty-three levels!"

　　Asuna almost said the words "Forty-Third Estate", then she quickly changed her words and said in a panic.

　　"Asuna-san, it's not a good boy to lie."

　　Aina put her right leg on her left leg and crossed her legs. She raised her coffee cup and took a sip.

　　"You know, the life span of us half-elves is much longer than that of humans."

　　She glanced at Asuna and found that her eyes were wandering around, her hands were clenched together unconsciously, and then suddenly released, and she smoothed her hair that was not messed up at all.

　　"Besides, no one seems to have told you that Miss Asuna, you can't lie at all."

　　"Who... who lied... I just stayed in the 33rd level for a few days."

　　As she spoke, Asuna's eyes wandered, "It's just that the food is finished... Well, that's right, that's it!"

　　Aina was amused for a moment. Which family's eldest lady is this? Can't she even lie?

　　"Okay, no one is allowed to go to floors below the 40th floor in the future. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with you, God Hestia will definitely be sad."

　Crowdfunding Group ④ Wu Liu Yi ② Qi Jiu ④ Zero "Wha... what the 40th floor, it's just the 30th floor!"

　　Asuna quickly drank the coffee in the cup, "I-I'm back!"

　　She stood up and put her hood back on.

　　"By the way, during your absence these days, your family has gained a new member."

　　Eina sat on the sofa and watched Asuna leave.

　　"Newcomer?"

　　Asuna stopped.

　　"Isn't Hestia deceived?"

　　she asked.

　　"No, a cute white-haired little sister." Eina turned pale like Asuna, "She looks like a kid who is easier to deceive than you, Asuna."

　　"That's it." Asuna nodded with confidence. As for the next words of Eina, she selectively ignored them.

　　"Then, I'll go back first, Aegina."

　　"Um."

　　It wasn't until Asuna completely disappeared from her sight that Eina sighed quietly and returned to her counter.

　　"How is it?" Misha immediately came over and asked curiously.

　　"Where's the child who doesn't make anyone worry?"

　　Eina commented like this.

　　"Is there anything adventurers can do to save people's worries?"

　　Misha asked back.

　　"...makes sense."

　　Aina was stunned and nodded suddenly.

　　"So, what problem did the young lady encounter?"

　　"As for the problem... Ignoring other things for now, the fact that she doesn't have a family member of comparable strength is her biggest shortcoming at the moment."

　　"Huh? Did the child go down a very deep floor?"

　　"With her strength, it shouldn't be a problem to get around the thirty-fifth floor alone, right? If she's alone."

　　"But, she seems to have run up from the forty-third floor..." Aegina lay on the table, with "Sorrow, Sadness, Sadness" written all over her face.

　　Misha was stunned for a moment, "That's really not a worry."

　　…

　　…

　　"Hestia, I'm back!"

　　Asuna shouted softly as she walked into the familiar basement.

　　Then, I heard a ping-pong-pong-pong sound coming from the kitchen.

　　"Ah, Lord God, be careful!"

　　A clear girlish voice came from the kitchen.

　　"Hey, I'm just so happy, Belle."

　　In the kitchen, Hestia was sitting on the floor with a silly smile and said to the white-haired girl next to her.

　　"Let's go, Belle, to welcome the leader of our clan!"

　　"Yes, Lord God!"

　　The girl nodded heavily, her expression very serious, but her ruby-like eyes were filled with nervousness and indifference, and her small white hands were holding the apron tightly, as if she was very scared.

　　Hestia stood up, took Belle's hand, and ran out excitedly.

　　"Ah! Lord God!"

　　"Welcome back!"

　　Asuna had just hung her cloak on the hanger.

　　A fleshy "fairy pillow" hung on her body.

　　Hestia hugged her neck and rubbed her cheek intimately.

　　Asuna quickly dragged Hestia's legs, very intimately.

　　"Okay, okay, I'm back now, come down quickly, there are still people watching."

　　Asuna carried Hestia to the sofa and put her down.

　　Then, he looked at the restless white-haired girl beside him. He said softly:

　　"I am Asuna, the leader of the Hestia Familia, who are you?"

　　Belle's face turned red and she said nervously:

　　"I-I am Belle Crowne, a new member of the Hestia Familia. From now on... please give me your guidance, Lord Captain!"

　　"Just call me Asuna. Can I call you Belle from now on?"

　　Asuna said softly while rubbing Hestia's little head.

　　"Yes! Dan...Miss Asuna!"

　　Belle nodded quickly and shouted loudly with a slightly red face.

　　Asuna took Belle's hand and sat on the sofa with her, holding Hestia's little hand with her other hand.

　　Three beautiful girls (?) with their own characteristics sat together and talked happily.

　　At first, Belle was still a little nervous and couldn't let go. She always got stuck when talking, and she looked at Asuna with admiration?

　　It made Asuna curious about what kind of ecstasy soup Hestia had poured into Belle in the past few days?

　　Later, under Asuna's gentleness, Belle gradually let go, but her admiration for Asuna in her tone became even stronger.

　　It seems like it's because of Asuna's gentleness?

　　Asuna glanced at Hestia in confusion and found that the girl was looking at her and Belle with a proud look on her face?

　　With Hestia's eloquence, it would be a shame not to be a salesperson for the guild.

　　Asuna thought this, and then followed Hestia and Belle out of the kitchen to make lunch.

　　But why is Belle's adoring gaze becoming more and more dazzling?

　　Asuna smiled awkwardly at her.

　　I'm just cooking, why do you keep looking at me with such admiration?

　　Asuna was troubled.

　　What ideas did Hestia instill in this child?

　　The way she looked at me... was that of admiration... but... was it a little too hot? !

　　very scary!

　　Asuna smiled awkwardly and politely at Belle while eating.

　　Please, let me eat in peace, Belle.

　　Belle's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

　　Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, but just after taking a few bites, Belle's fiery gaze appeared again...

　　Ah, gentle Asuna-san, strong Asuna-san, elegant Asuna-san, Asuna-san, who even makes delicious food!

　　I must become an adventurer like Asuna-san!

　　With a shy smile on her face, Belle carefully observed Asuna's every move.

　　Miss Asuna must have been born as a eldest lady. In order to resist the injustice at home, she resolutely became an adventurer!

　　Belle thought in her mind and created a perfect character that made Asuna's heart tremble...
