She looked up at the ceiling as he changed.
… I’m so happy!
There was something she could do for him.
Her feet thumped on the warped flooring as she ran to a shelf in the kitchen. Most of the shelf was used for cookware, but she went to a box in the center and threw it open. Her hand flew around blindlyas she fumbled for something hidden inside. Pulling the box down, she looked past the flyers and paperwork for her part-time job and found what she was looking for.
She grabbed an invitation entitled G ANESHA’S C ELEBRATION OF THE G ODS .
Hephaistos will be there, right?
The face of the friend and goddess who found this room popped into Hestia’s mind.
Getting in touch with Hephaistos was never easy because she was always working and traveling to many places around the city.
Hestia decided to use this party as an opportunity to see her friend in person.
The party started… tonight.
“Ah!” came out of her mouth as she quickly looked around. “Bell, I’m going to be out tonight. Maybe for a few days. That okay?”
“Eh? Ah, I understand. Something for work?”
“Nope. I wasn’t really interested at first, but some of my closest friends are going to a party. I’m thinking I’ll go and say hi. It’s been too long since I have seen everyone.”
“Then by all means, go!” Bell said with a smile. Friends were important. He had no reason to refuse.
Hestia felt bad for bringing this up out of the blue, but she smiled back and walked to the closet. None of her clothes were really appropriate for the event, but she grabbed the best dress she had and put it in her travel bag. A few more odds and ends and she was ready to go. All that was left was to request someone to cover her shift at work. She’d do that on the way.
She was almost out the door when she thought of one last thing.
“Bell, are you going to the Dungeon today?”
“I’m planning to, yes… Should I not?”
He had just made that promise. He timidly looked up at the goddess, expecting another lecture to hit him like a brick wall.
“No, it’s okay, go ahead. But be extra careful, okay? You are still recovering, remember?”
“I will! Thank you!”
Bell looked so happy with dimples in his cheeks. He nodded to Hestia as she set out.
The sun’s rays stretch across the sky.
It’s late morning. Good time for a jog down Main Street. There are a lot of people out enjoying this nice weather.
I left the room not long after the goddess. Got my armor this time! On my way to the Dungeon now.
Yeah, the goddess was right. My knee is not happy. Whatever sixth-level monster got me had one hell of an arm. It’ll take some time to get back to normal.
Just another reason not to push it. No adventures for me. If I screw up, I’m heading home ASAP. But I’ll focus and do my best no matter what.
Ah, there it is. The Dungeon is still a bit far away, though. Up until a few days ago, I was impatient and would have run all the way there. But not now.
The goddess calmed me down quite a bit. My head is clear. All I need to do now is go forward as fast as I can.
It will take time, but this is the fastest way to catch up with Ms. Wallenstein. Keep going to the Dungeon, keep getting stronger. All efforts bear fruit eventually, right?
I can still hear the goddess saying, “Don’t do too much.” With the goddess’s words in my head, my feet stop in front of “that” place.
Yeah, there is something I have to do before going to the Dungeon today.
“This might be a little rough…”
Closed, huh…
I scratch my head as I think this over.
Got to face the music sometime, might as well be now. Just need to get a foot in the door.
Ding-ding.
A bell rings as I peek my head through the entrance of The Benevolent Mistress.
“I am awfully sorry, sir, but we are not open just yet. Can I ask you to return in a few hours?”
“Nyow, Mia’s bar isn’t open nyet!”
An elf and a cat person were busy setting up tablecloths. They still responded
