Got Out

"I'm going to make a report to guild. I bet that ores cavern was worth mentioning to guild. Want to come with me?" Blondy stated.

Why is he going to the guild? Because we're already at Orlean right now. It doesn't took a long time to get out from the dungeon. We barely just made a step in here and I already tired earlier because of that explanation earlier.

I tried to made a clear understanding to them that me and Ryu weren't kill the Minotaur alone. Something came up, a Juggernaut. So before we arrived here, they're questioning a lot. Like 'How a Minotaur is able to come to the Floor 1?' and 'Why a Floor 1's Juggernaut is able to kill a monster that supposedly at Floor 6?'. I knew it is not for me. First thing that I know, they'll be busy soon enough.

"No thank you. I'll make myself a report too, to Lady Hestia." Ryu said it.

"Me too, I got something to tell to Lady Hephaestus." Yeah. Luckily, I didn't forgot the mysterious dagger and ores.

"Okay. If you guys got into any trouble, come find me at guild or the training grounds. See you around." After that, BlonーMiyura'sーparty gave us a bow then left.

"See you next time, Ryu."

"Y-yeah, yeah. You too."

I gave them a smile then I walked away towards Lady Hephaestus's Blacksmith.

-

What in the world with that smile? He's always acting weird doesn't he? Damn ruckus..

"So, Masato! Thanks for your effort." I rushed to hug his neck. We started to walk to our inn.

"I-it wasn't me. Asami who did it. Thanks to her that we can catch up to you." Masato reposition his glasses. "I-I glad you we-were okay, Ryu." Asami followed.

"So it was you. Thank you, Asami!" I quickly changes my hug target to Asami.

"S-stop it, Ryu. Th-there's so many people."

"Nevermind them. It was our little adventures, we need to cheer up!"

I was getting excited along the way to the inn. I stated an idea to have a small party with Lady Hestia, because we are the only team that followed her here. As always, Masato didn't care a tiny little bit to my proposal. Hilariously, Asami agreed to anything that I said.

When we arrived at our roomーone for Masato and one for the rest of us, Lady Hestia weren't there. When we were going to the dungeon, she said that she'll took a rest in the inn. Where is she? The first place that came up in my mind was Lady Hephaestus's Blacksmith. I hope she's in there.

"Don't panic, Asami. I'll try to look for her. You and Masato stay here. Take a rest, okay?" I checked anything on the table or the bed. Nothing on it.

"O-okay. Be careful, Ryu."

I give her a soft smile. "Like I always do."

-

Too bad, Lady Hephaestus weren't there. Guess I'll head to the guild now. I swam through the crowd again. Soon after, I arrived at the guild.

"Welcome. Ah, little guy. Completed your quest already?"

"Oh, maーEri, what a nice timing. You're right, where do I can submit my quest?" Phew, I almost call her ma'am.

"Great work. Just give the items at any counter on there. They'll do the job in no time." Eri pointed a four row of counter that faced at our direction. Each of it had a hole on their table to contains any item that the quest asked. "Thanks." I immediately goes there.

I submit my quest. Fortunately, I got two Draugr's horn. The receptionist asked me to turn all of it or no, then I gave it all. Nothing I can do to it, right. Better takes the gold.

After that, I asked the receptionist's name, her name was Hana. Nice name.

By the way, I asked her where can I find Lady Hephaestus. She said that Lady Hephaestus still in the private room. Hana said she will notify Lady Hephaestus for my appointment. I chose to wait Lady Hephaestus in here.

Damn, I'm hungry. Should've told her that I'll take a meal first.

Soon after, I saw Ryu coming. She went straight to the second floor. What is she doing? I bet it's an another fraud that she'll make.

Several minutes passed. I saw her coming down with Lady Hestia. What..? It's not Lady Hestia that made me curious, it was the person next to her, Lady Hephaestus. She's with Lady Hestia in the private room? And why Ryu could drag them out of it?

"Sorry for another waiting, Kurt." Lady Hephaestus greet me at the bottom of the stairs. I can see Ryu surprised face besides Lady Hephaestus. "It's not my problem, Lady Hephaestus." I quickly stands for her.

"It's alright." She holds my arm "Come with me to have a meal. I knew you were just came out from the dungeon." Huh..? Maybe Lady Hephaestus overheard Ryu's conversation with Lady Hestia..? "Okay." Then she quickly hug my neck.

"You're come with me too, Smoly. Our agreement still doesn't come to an end yet." Smoly..?

"Stop calling me that, One-eyed. I'm Hestia, Goddess of Family!"

"Yeah yeah. Tell your girl to coming with us too." What..?

"You heard her, Ryu. Come on."

-

"Yeah.. Abyss Neighbor Bar, also known as the best bar in Orlean. She never let me down when I pay her a visit." Lady Hephaestus stated it. She still drags me around with my neck on her hug.

So this is the best bar in here. Yesterday, I was only ate at the inn. It was delicious though. More delicious than my usual meal when I still traveling around.

"Make this quick, Hephaestus. I need to get back to Orario as soon as possible." I can see Lady Hestia pushing Lady Hephaestus to hasten her speed.

"Don't be like that, Hestia. We're in a good situation to have a little rest like this."

"Yeah yeah."

Ryu opened the door for us. The door looks like a wild west style. Wait, how do I know wild west? Is it anything that I met before..? Ah, Pavelis's memories. Yes, it was from him. Damn, my knowledges is mixed up from another world.

"Ah, Lady Hephaestus and Lady Hestia. Welcome." A female voice greeted us. I look to the source, it was woman with a pale-blonde braid in her side.

"As usual, Sephy, but make it four." Lady Hephaestus drag me to sit. She sit besides me. Lady Hestia and Ryu are sits across me.

"Right away." The woman called Sephy quickly left the counter to the kitchen, I guess..?

I observed the indoors. It was a cozy bar, I can tell. I imagine many bars just like this in another place. Wait, uh.. It's Pavelis's again. Damn, I can't tell which one is making a decision right now. It's me or that Pavelis?

"Back in the business, I waー.."

"Hold on, slowly. Wait for the drinks, Hestia." Lady Hephaestus interupted Lady Hestia's word.

"... Fine." I heard Lady Hestia muttered.
