---------------------------------------------0--------------------------------------------------

The moment we left the church, it was already close to 7 pm. So we decided to go to a restaurant first to eat dinner since we both were hungry after all the work.

After that, we started wandering around the Orario while trying to find a good restaurant.

Although I like Hostess of Fertility, the atmosphere in there is not suitable for a Goddess like Hestia. I think; it is more suitable for someone like Loki.

And that is the reason I don't want to go to the Hostess of Fertility right now.

Aside from that, there are really fancy restaurants in Orario.

Since there aren't too many things for entertainment in this world, most people either focus on drinking, eating, or…

And that is the reason Orario has a large scale of cuisines.

After walking around for a bit while talking, we managed to find a good place to eat and went inside.

After that, we sat at a table on the balcony and started skimming through the menu, and I must say, if a restaurant is fancy, it is really expensive…

Normally speaking, I thought Hostess' food was very good, but it was expensive nonetheless. However, I think I didn't know what expensive meant at that time.

Since all of the prices here are almost triple of Hostess of Fertility, I think I should revise my sense of price a bit, but right now, none of those are important.

And it is not like we don't have any money either.

With that, I ordered a heavy protein-oriented meal, while Hestia ordered a fancy-looking meal.

After that, we started talking about all the things around Orario, how gods had behaved in heaven, how it was Hestia, etc.

"Say, Wayne-Kun. You said you have something in your mind about the weapons you want to make. Can you say what you have in your mind?"

She suddenly asked.

Well, it is nothing much, actually. Since my magic is related to the blades, I thought of ordering some specific blades just for my magic. Since it is still a bit hard for me to lift swords or something, and it also gets a bit hard when I try to bind with new weapons.

So, it would be better to order a set of light-weighted blades only to be used in my magic.

That was what I had in my mind, but at that time, I thought Hestia would be uninterested.

"Well, Kami-sama, as you know, my magic 'Blade Dancer' is related to the blades, right?"

"Yes, I know that."

"You see, I thought ordering specific types of blades just to be used by my magic. But, since I am also planning to use dual-wielding katanas, it would also be better for me to improve my swordsmanship."

I said and explained my plans for the future.

And, it is not like I will only use m magic.

Since, no matter what, your mana reserves are limited, one always needs to be prepared in case of such a thing.

"I see. So you are going to order some sort of blades for your magic, but you will also order two katanas, am I correct?"

She asked.

"Yes, you are correct, Kami-sama."

"But, Wayne-kun, won't they cost a lot?"

She said while pondering about something.

"Well, they will cost a bit. But it is not like I will buy super good products. I thought buying simple equipment at first, since neither we have money for good equipment, nor I have the skill to use them. So, you don't need to worry; I will just buy some beginner weapons."

I answered Hestia, and it looked like there was something in her mind.

But she didn't stay quiet for a long time, and we started talking again.

After talking for a bit longer, our meals were served, and we started munching since we both were very hungry.

Following the meal, we ordered a parfait-looking dessert, and the meal went like that.

Well…

The meal was expensive, but it was worth it.

The moment we left the restaurant, I got to see the relaxed expression on Hestia's face for the first time since she was always a bit tense around me.

It seems she is finally warmed to me, huh?

With that, we started talking around, and I remembered a place while I was running on the wall today.

Well, I don't know how you manage dates like this, but I think that scene was really beautiful.

I took Hestia to the spot on the wall, and we started looking at the scenery.

"Wayne-kun, it is really pretty… How do you know this place? Do you come here often?"

She asked while looking at the scenery, and I must say the scenery is really beautiful.

"Well, I found this place today, actually, while I was running to train my body. So, it is my second time coming here."

I said while watching the scenery as well.

"Then, Wayne-kun, doesn't that mean I am the first person you showed this place?"

Hestia asked.

"Well, I don't have anyone aside from you to show this place, Kami-sama, so of course, it would be you."

I said while smiling at her.

The moment Wayne said that, Hestia got both a blush on her face and a bit of melancholic expression on her face as well.

'So, he is really alone, huh? I have never seen him with his friends or something, either. This child must have lived a hard life so far.

Hestia thought while watching the expression on Wayne's face.

Since Wayne lost his focus while thinking something about the past, he wasn't able to notice the expression on Hestia's face, and even if he saw it, he would say something like, "Don't worry, Kami-sama, I am okay right now."

And Hestia knew it too. In the time period she spent her time with Wayne, she managed to understand something about him.

This child… He was lonely. Although from the looks of his behavior, it looks like he prefers to be alone, he always has this weird aura around him.

Like he always struggles to be better and strives to be stronger.

But why is he trying so hard? Why is he putting his life in danger just because of getting stronger?

These are some of the questions in Hestia's mind, but she didn't ask any of them to Wayne.

When the time comes, everything will be solved, and she believed Wayne would say those things to her by himself.

And she kept watching the expression of this lonely-looking boy, and suddenly started to have this weird feeling of becoming his only family.

Although she knew they were a familia right now, she wanted to be the real 'family' of Wayne; she wanted to cure this lonely expression on his face.

Because during this six months period of time, when she was always rejected by other adventurers, she understood how it feels to be alone and how it feels to get used to it.

And just at this moment, Wayne turned his head to the Hestia and suddenly said.

"Kami-sama, you won't leave me, right? You won't reject me after knowing me a bit more about me, right?"

And seeing the expression on Wayne's face while he was saying that, Hestia couldn't hold herself any longer and suddenly hugged Wayne.

"Don't worry; I won't ever leave you. Even if you one day leave this world, I will haunt you in the afterlife for eternity. So don't worry, okay."

Hestia said while hugging Wayne.

And the moment she hugged him, she felt Wayne flinching.

It looks like this child is not used to other people's touch.

After a moment of hugging, Wayne broke the hug and smiled at Hestia.

"Thank you, Kami-sama. I also swear I won't ever leave you and will do my best to make you proud."

Wayne said with a bright smile on his face.

Seeing his genuine smile for the first time, Hestia got mesmerized.

'Ah, I understand now. I should just protect his smile, shouldn't I?'

Hestia thought and solidified her resolve for the thing she had been thinking about and decided to do it.

And she smiled as well, and at that moment, both a black-haired goddess and a black-haired boy had a smile on their faces while looking at the scenery under the wall…

It was really a peaceful scene, but when has the peace ever lasted long enough?

While the black-haired boy and his goddess were spending their life at that moment, there were some minds behind the curtains planning to entrap…
