Chapter 52 - Book.
With my new weapon, I decided to go to the church to talk to Hestia. The last time I contacted her was yesterday. She's still looking for a job.
Again, I asked her to stop looking for a job, but she ignored me. I should do just that. Ignore her.
It won't be long before I get a new house and a lot of money, and then she'll forget all about getting a job.
"Goddess, are you there?" I walked into the church.
Hestia didn't answer me. I looked for her until I heard some sounds inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside. "Huh? Who is it? Is that you, Luan?" she asked, startled.
"Yes, it's me. I came here to show you the new weapon I got. I talked about it with you yesterday, don't you remember? When we had dinner together."
"Oh yes, wait a minute!" Hestia said.
I returned to the living room and sat to wait for Hestia.
A few minutes later, she appeared.
"So this is the weapon you were talking about. Are you sure it's good? Isn't the blade a bit too curved? Also, it looks very fragile."
"I bought it from one of the Hephaestus stores, so if the weapon breaks, it's their fault. But about the blade, isn't it perfect for making deeper cuts?" I squeezed the handle of the dagger and swung.
"If I hit someone, I'll make a fatal cut for sure. It's very sharp."
"I see. But the blade is very short, so you need to be careful."
"Yes. I'm training my movements a lot. I want to focus a lot on my speed and moves. That way, I can fight even big monsters without getting hit."
"I'm glad you're so committed, but don't overdo it. What now? What should we do?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... You didn't come here just to show me your new weapon, did you? Don't you want to go out for a bite to eat or something?" Hestia looked away, embarrassed. "If you don't want to, that's fine!" She said.
"I want to go out to eat with you. What do you want to eat? We'll go wherever you want, you choose."
"I feel like eating something cooked by you."
"Something cooked by me?" I looked surprised at Hestia.
True! I've only prepared food for her twice, and she seemed to like my food very much. I should cook for her more often since she likes it. They say it's also a way of winning a woman over.
"All right, let's buy the ingredients, and I'll prepare something for you. After that, I'll write."
"Speaking of which, hasn't your book been published yet?"
"The book will go on sale soon... Probably. I'll visit the library tomorrow to see how everything is going."
"You're already writing the second book, aren't you?" Hestia asked. "I haven't even had a chance to read the first book..."
"Don't worry, if the book is already selling, I'll bring you a copy tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Right! Now it's time to cook! I'm starving!"
"Sure, sure~~ Are you coming with me, or should I buy the ingredients myself?"
"I'll go with you. I'm tired of being alone."
"If you were feeling so lonely, you should have told me. I'd let you stay in my room with me."
"Haaa?!!!" Hestia shouted in surprise. "Impossible! I'm not staying in that room with you! Hmph!"
"There's no need to say it like this. I'm sad now..."
"Oh, sorry, it's just that...."
"Just kidding, Goddess. Let's go."
I got up, and we left the church together.
We went to a nearby market, and I let Hestia choose all the ingredients. Two bags full of ingredients.
When we returned to the church, I prepared pasta for her. It's probably the best pasta I've ever made in my life. The ingredients here are much better than those on earth.

The vegetables are fresher, the meat is more tender, everything is better.
What an incredible place.

It was the next day, and as soon as I got up and had a shower, I went straight to the library. I hope they've already started selling my book.
And to my surprise, when I arrived at the library door, there were a lot of people outside.
Young people, older people, men, women. They were all forming a long line. When I saw this, I immediately started thinking about my book.
My heart started racing, and I got nervous.
'Is it really because of my book? That all these people are here...'
Well, it's not really my book... But in this world, IT IS MY BOOK. Are these people here for it?
I approached the last person in the line to ask.
"The line? It's to buy a new book released this morning. It's been like this since 5 AM." The older man replied.
When I asked the name of the book, the man said: "Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World"
'Yes, that's it!'
But how do all these people know about the existence of my book and that it has started selling? Hmm... Maybe someone famous advertised my book, but who?
Then, I saw Hestia.
She was inside the store, holding a poster with the name of my book written on it.
"That's why most of the customers are men..."
I didn't go into the store. I stayed outside to see how people reacted to my book.
Many flipped through the first few pages right there. And many of them didn't stop reading and continued reading even as they walked.
They seemed very entertained.
'I'll wait for the number of customers to decrease to go inside. I need to know why Hestia is here, helping to advertise my book.
But to my surprise, the news about a book with a new proposal and different writing spread, and more customers began to show up. It was like an epidemic.
I hadn't expected it.
'I became famous with my first publication!'
