Chapter 2:Goddess, I've Fallen in Love with You

Ethan thought of a certain possibility, his breathing became rapid, and his hands trembled slightly as he lifted the expensive, ornate longsword he had purchased. His voice stuttered a bit.

"Miss Aina... please take a careful and tactful look at how much this sword is worth."

"Although I am not a blacksmith, I can recognize that this sword is worth about 60 farlis.

Considering the glowing crystals and carvings embedded on it, it should be valued at 80 farlis."

Aina scrutinized the sword for a moment and then mercilessly appraised it, knowing from the newcomer's gradually dimming eyes that he had been swindled.

Just arrived in Orario and got swindled, what bad luck.

Moreover, he looks so naive, as if his fingers have never held a sword or done farm work.

Could he be a young noble from a kingdom outside Orario?

Although it's cruel to tell the truth directly, if a rookie adventurer enters the dungeon with such fake gear and doesn't return, she would feel guilty for a lifetime.

"Ah! Pfft! My heart isn't very good!" Ethan, as if struck by a critical hit, suddenly clutched his chest in agony.

"Oh my! Didn't the author say that dwarves are simple and honest? Swindler."

Tears streamed down his face. My phone, which had only one bar of battery left, was exchanged for ten million farlis... and now I'm penniless, damn it.

"Pfft, it looks like you need a advisorto understand various things about adventurers,"

Aina , amused by Ethan comical expression. Realizing she had lost her composure, she quickly regained her friendly demeanor.

Hearing this,Ethan, with eyes lacking any sparkle, looked up.

Equipment worth only 60 farlis, and in Orario, a fried potato ball costs 30 farlis, so he essentially exchanged ten million farlis for two fried potato balls...

"As you can see, I'm now a penniless pauper~"

"It's not about charging now. If a rookie adventurer doesn't have a advisor , they might not come back due to many avoidable problems.

I hope you will consider it," Aina said kindly and patiently, then smiled and handed him a form.

"Um, I will consider it, Miss Aina. But right now, I should first look for a familia to join.

Do you have any news about any gods who haven't taken in any familia members yet? Like a goddess without a familia, hehe."

Ethan blushed as he said this, and anyone could hear the ulterior motives in his words.

Sure enough, Aina was taken aback for a moment and then looked at the blushing young man strangely.

"Are you sure you want to join a goddess's familia without any members?"

Are you really looking for a familia to join?

Why does it seem from every angle that you're looking to have an encounter with a goddess?

Although it's common in Orario for gods and goddesses to fall in love with mortals and vice versa, you're the first I've seen who's starting with the intention of encountering a goddess.

Of course, as a guild staff member, Aina wouldn't say what she thought.

"I'm sure. As a man who will definitely stand at the pinnacle of adventurers in Orario in the future, what I need to do is to start from scratch and build a team.

This is the pride of a man, a man pride. Miss Aina, you must understand," Ethan said, avoiding her gaze but blushing and stiffening his neck.

Well, actually, even he only believed it halfway, then he closed his eyes tightly and put his hands together.

"Snap! Please."

Mainly because it's too hard to find someone, oh no, a god, in the vast Orario. I can only try my luck at the guild.

Aina was speechless and blushed slightly, holding back a laugh.

What a confident and cute child. But he's not the only young man who came to Orario with dreams.

She has received many new adventurers who joined a familia because they were captivated by a goddess, like the followers of the goddess Freya.

"Ah~ Let me check... You're the first adventurer I've met who's aiming to encounter a goddess.

But there are very few gods without a familia, and even fewer goddesses.

You can almost say there are none. But I advise you... Eh! There actually is one."

Ten minutes later.

"It's my first time seeing someone become an adventurer to encounter a goddess. Good luck."

Aina signed her name on a piece of adventurer registration paperwork with a quill pen.

Even she, who is usually meticulous, couldn't help but comment, but then she laughed again.

It's rare these days to see new adventurers who aren't motivated by money or fame, no matter how absurd the reason for becoming an adventurer.

Ethan, this name, she remembered deeply as a new adventurer consultant.

...

"Hestia still doesn't have a familia, that's just too good."

Ethan, carrying a backpack, jogged happily along the bustling streets, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Hestia is currently looking for humans willing to join her familia. Unfortunately, the gods of the lower realm are no different from humans, and some even live worse than humans.

Most humans are shallow beings chasing after benefits.

If a god doesn't have a special skill, they can't bring humans the hope of benefits, so naturally, humans won't choose such a god.

As the goddess of the hearth, Hestia doesn't have the enchanting charm to easily captivate humans like Freya, nor does she have the skill to forge divine artifacts like Hephaestus, nor does she have tricks like Hermes with his Russian nesting dolls.

She even has to work for humans to earn farlis for living in the lower realm.

For such a god, humans who chase after benefits naturally disdain her, after all, the grace given by gods is the same.

But he is part of that small group of humans not driven by benefits.

His golden finger is enough to surpass the gods, and shallow things like money and benefits are not his pursuit.

What he seeks is an encounter, to be moved, the most beautiful emotions in the human world, the most luxurious things in his original world.

On the outskirts of Southeast Street, this area belongs to the most common residential district in Orario, with more civilian and old buildings.

The narrow alleys and moss-filled brick walls are the characteristics here.

This place used to be the stronghold of some familias.

After the familias were destroyed, only the slums and the ruins of the former familia residences remained.

The ruined church where Hestia now lives was once the residence of a certain familia.

The environment changes as you go deeper, with clothes hanging over ropes above your head and stalls selling ordinary people's daily necessities on the streets.

A large number of abandoned beer barrels are piled up in the corners.

This place, compared to West Street, is filled with more of the breath of mortals.

"Come and take a look, don't miss out. This is a fried potato ball made by the goddess herself, only 30 farlis, very cheap~"

At this moment, at a small fried potato ball stall, a girl with twin ponytails waved her tongs cheerfully, her face beaming with a youthful and vibrant smile as she called out to passersby, as if just seeing her smile could sweep away the worries of the world.

A faint aura emanated from her, as if just by looking at her for a long time, one would unconsciously get lost in it.

Divinity, the word popped into Ye Zai's mind. Mortals don't recognize gods, but as soon as they see a god, they know she is a god.

Cute, beautiful, pure, charming, noble, distinguished, supreme, unique, countless words sprang to mind, and the words he had prepared to say were stuck in his throat.

"Do you want to buy one? They're delicious, and they're made by the goddess herself," Hestia said, looking at the child who had walked up to her stall and was staring at her dumbfoundedly.

She picked up a fried potato ball and extended it to him with a sweet smile.

"That, Goddess-sama,"

Ethan came back to his senses, his heart pounding. The divine aura in anime could never fully represent the real thing; a true goddess is so breathtaking that his cheeks were slightly hot.

Embarrassed... Ah, how embarrassing, how shameful.

"Goddess-sama?"

Hestia paused for a second, blinked, and then suddenly showed an ecstatic smile, staring intently at the child who was stunned by her appearance.

It had been a long time since she came to the mortal world, and no human had been willing to become the familia of an obscure god like her.

Even her fellow gods teased her as the poor goddess who was rich only in her Brest, and humans also rejected her as a god who couldn't accomplish anything, repeatedly turning her down.

And because she was a god who couldn't accomplish anything, humans only gave her the most basic respect, or even disrespect.

They didn't call her Goddess Hestia, but rather Hestia-sama or just Hestia.

But this respectful title of Goddess-sama was the first time she had heard it.

And generally, only a familia member would call their own main god Goddess-sama.

"Hehe, my name is Hestia. What's your name?"

Hestia immediately dropped the tongs for the fried potato balls and hopped in front of him, her hands behind her back and a sweet smile on her face, her blue eyes shining with intense anticipation.

No aura of Falna, such clear black eyes.

Great, he's a child who hasn't joined any other familia and has just come to orario.
