Welcome Back

After the War Game, Apollo Familia and Hestia Familia returned to Orario. Apollo Familia tried to search for Hyakinthos but found nothing since I buried him underground beneath the rubble and earth after killing him.

The other members thought that he abandoned the fortress already and hiding in shame. He's not their captain anymore after hearing the verdict that Apollo Familia would disband and Apollo himself exiled from Orario.

On the other hand, Hestia Familia won and being greeted by a cheer from the people for the good show of fighting in the War Game.

Arriving at the gate of Orario. Hestia already standing behind the gate, waiting for our arrival. "Ageas-kun!!! Bell-kun!! Both of you are back!!" She said while running to us.

"Stop pretending by becoming a concerned Goddess for her Familia." I said while stopping Hestia by clutching her face. "Itetete... Aw! It hurts!" Hestia said after trying hard to release her face from my grip.

"How rude are you, Ageas? Aw..." She said while rubbing her face. Looking at her made me felt that it's been a long time since I saw her annoying face. I smile softly and looked at her "We're home, Hestia-sama." I said to her.

She looked at me for a second before smiling "Welcome home, Ageas-kun. Bell-kun." She said ending the reunion after a few days.

"Should we return?" I asked her. "The church got destroyed, Nii-san. I'm sorry." Bell said answering my question to Hestia.

"It's alright, Bell-kun. After the management is done, we're going to move to a different place. Hehe..." She said with a smug face.

"Then, where do we live for now? I have a new member that will be joining the familia." I said to her. "For now, we live in Miach base but the place might be too small, so maybe sleeping at an inn will be great once in a while." Hestia said.

"Hmm.. I see, then follow me. The new member had been staying at the inn while waiting for us." I said and leading them to the inn that we stayed last night.

Inside the inn's room. Sit three people with brown skin, an Amazoness. "Hei... Ageas-kun, are you sure that you aren't into Amazoness?" Hestia said after looking at the new member.

"Shut up, chibi Goddess-sama. It's just a coincidence." I said after gave her a little knock on her head. "Alright then, Nii-san. I and Welf-san will wait outside." Bell said since as always he didn't want to look at the girl naked when updating their status.

After converting Bache, Samira, and Lena. Hestia looked at me with her eyes almost fell from the socket. "Le... Le... Level 7!!!??" She said with her arms trembling. Even Bache looked surprised after reading her paper.

"Keep it down!!!" I said knocking her head again. Bache had leveled up to 7, Samira got to level 4 and Lena level 3.

Everyone in the group leveled up except Revis, I got to level 5, Ryuu got to Level 6, Aisha to level 5, Haruhime to level 3.

"Now that it happened twice. Aren't our progress too fast? and why Revis is the only one that not leveled up. Don't tell me...." Aisha quickly trembled after trying to remember the memory that happened for the past few days.

Hearing Aisha, everyone that got trained by me looked at me that still reading my paper. Quickly, I noticed everyone's gazed "What?" I asked them that still holding their paper.

Everyone rapidly looked back at their paper and then to me before thinking for a second while eventually nodded at the same time. The girls started making circles and whispering by themselves.

Ignoring them, I took the paper that everyone had done reading and put it aside before whispering among themselves then brought it outside.

I walked to a different room where Bell and Welf would be sleeping. I knocked on the door and open it. "Oi, Bell." I said giving him a quick greeting.

"Nii-san. Is everything been done?" He said and get off from the bed. "Ah! Yes.. Tomorrow, you're the one that gonna submit this to Eina and report about it. You are the captain in this familia after all." I said while giving him the paper.

Him being a good boy didn't want to take a peek at other people's status and put it in his bag. "And one more. Bring this quest paper too." I said to him before leaving him to have his time to rest and I also need a rest.

Entering back to my room, the girls still talking and I have no interest to jump in, so I went to the bed and about to sleep before being called.

"Ageas, can we have a little training before you sleep? Just a little." Bache said while the girl behind her also nodded which made me suspicious of something.

"No. I want to sleep. Byee." I said and close all my senses before going to sleep. Eventually, all of them gave up and let me sleep.

---------------------------------------

Waking up early in the morning. Only several people inside the room. Looked like Samira and Lena sleep with Bache that kept an eye on them. Ryuu already said yesterday that she will be returning to Hostess of Fertility with some personal reason that she wouldn't tell me.

Hestia slept together with Lili and looked like having a fight in the room when I visited. In my room only Haruhime that curled her tail on my arm and Aisha sleeping beside me. Revis fell on to the floor but still sleeping.

I walked downstairs to take a walk around the town. Thinking about what I should do today, only to spot my brother. 'Why is he have to be everywhere?' I thought to myself but then he looked like talking with Mord, the adventurer that fight my brother down on the 18th floor, with a scar on his forehead and cheek.

Since I have nothing to do. Might as well ask what they're talking about. "Yow, What's up?" I suddenly said made them looked at me.

"Wh... Wh.. White King!!!" Mord's friend said after looking at me. "Nii-san, Thank God you're here," Bell said quickly walking behind me.

"Y... Y.. Yow... Em... Ano... We came in peace... Ano.. We only want to ask, Little Rookie to celebrate with us. For winning the War Game." Mord said slowly while taking out his bag of cash. Saying that he wanted to pay for the celebration.

"Hee?? Interesting. Where do you guys gonna go?" I said while looking at Bell. "Well... Actually, there's a big event at Grand Casino El Dorado Resort. Where only people with an invitation could get in. Buuutt.... Ehehe... I have the Gold Pass Card!!!" Mord said with a proud tone while showing us the gold card in his hand.

"Sounds fun, I'm in. When is the time of the event?" I said without hesitation since the document that Hestia need to filled still got some process for a week before we got our new home.

"Nii-san!!!" Bell yelled behind me like warning me. "What? We got a lot of free time. Hestia-sama even forbid us to enter the dungeon until the house is ready. You are free to decline though." I said questioning Bell.

"You see these people?? I bet that their money came from the bet they made and want to thank you for winning them money. Are you really that cold to not receive their thanks?" I asked him before Bell could answer.

"Bu.. but... Hah~, Okay." Bell said after some persuasion. "Good, now. Never tell anyone about this. Especially, Hestia-sama, or maybe Ryuu. They will kill us if they knew." I said while patting his head.

"Ugh.. Aren't you just looking for an accomplice, Nii-san?" Bell said while taking a few distances from me. "We're in this together." I said before confirming our participation.

"Good, It's good knowing you. White King, Little Rookie." Mord said while smiling at us. "By the way, what's with people calling me White King?" I asked them.

"It's nothing much really. Since your title is rather... we're afraid that we might offend the King right now, so... People started using 'White King'. Since not many people had white hair like both of you." He said with a little caution not to step on a land mine.

"I see... Well, Whatever. Then when is the time again?" I asked them. "It's 4 days from now. We need to wear a tuxedo. I will prepare the carriage for us. Ehehehe..." Mord said.

"Hmm... I see. Okay then. See you.." I said leaving them with Bell that following behind me.
