Chapter 23 - Bringing Lili home

For Miyuki who was willing to join the family who had nothing, the goddess Hestia's affection was not fake.

Who says gods are ruthless?

The gods in the dungeon are more sentimental than humans.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the loneliness that has been tasted for hundreds of millions of years that Hestia especially cherishes the life of having someone to accompany her.

This also proved that Miyuki's choice was correct.

After all, in other families, such as the Loki family, he would not enjoy the treatment of being favored by the beauty goddess alone.

Holding the boy in his arms, Hestia's eyes lit up when he smelled the faint scent on his body, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

After a hard day's work, when I came home from get off work, I saw Miyuki, and I felt refreshed like a fish in water.

And just when she was about to pester Shenhui and listen to him tell about what he saw and heard in the dungeon as the first child.

"!"

Just now she was hidden by the boy's shadow, but at this time the girl beside Miyuki came into the eyes of the goddess.

The body is smaller than Hestia's. The brown robe, the dirt on her face, and the cover of the hood make it impossible to tell whether he is male or female at first glance.

But it must be a woman!

Hestia's traitor-catching radar was activated instantly.

Only at this time, her eyes will be extremely sharp, and her cute look will become sinister, with the majesty of a real goddess.

When Lili saw Hestia for the first time, she knew that Hestia was a god, a noble and inviolable object.

Timidly, she shrank her body, but she was too scared to speak out when the words came to her mouth.

"Lili is the little human girl I brought back." Miyuki opened his mouth to explain.

Bang!

Before Hestia could finish listening, a shock slammed down from the goddess' head.

"How...how did this happen?"

The raised twin ponytails dropped instantly, and the joy of seeing Miyuki turned into shock and it was as if she was pushed from heaven to hell.

Why is this so?

For the first time... I had a child I liked, and I had my first family member for the first time. These two happy things are intertwined, and they should have brought supreme joy.

I came first... Obviously, I came first.

Why is this?

"Calm down, Hestia." Miyuki rubbed Hestia's head and sighed.

Hestia's appearance of being able to cry at any time... no, it would be better to say that she has already cried is the most troublesome shortcoming for him.

But even God is not perfect.

"How... how can I calm down, originally people wanted to kiss me with Miyuki, but you brought another woman." Hestia sniffled, and her eyes red when she spoke.

"Lili is a supporter I rescued from the dungeon. Because something happened to her family, I brought her back to see if I can discuss with you and solve her problems." Miyuki calmly explained everything. After all, he does not want to be indecisive like some anime male protagonists.

Be straightforward and try to avoid causing more misunderstandings.

"Really?" Hestia stopped crying for a moment.

"Really, do I look like a scumbag who likes to bring girls home?" Miyuki held his forehead and spoke in a helpless tone.

"I was worried that you were being duped by women outside...but it's really nice of you to explain clearly." Hestia stopped crying and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, what's your name?" Hestia instantly changed her look and looked at Lili with a serious look in her eyes while speaking.

Lili was dumbfounded at the speed of the transition from tears to seriousness.

After living for so many years, she has never seen such a sincere god.

"Liliruca Arde," Lili reported her name.

"I heard from Miyuki that you were rescued by him because you were in trouble?" Hestia asked.

"Yes." Lily nodded.

"Because something special happened, I was threatened by members of the same family, so Miyuki-sama rescued me."

"From the same family?" Hestia said and showed a surprised expression.

Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for members of a family to fight among themselves.

After all, there is the adjustment of the main god above, otherwise, if a troublesome god is unwilling, he will directly block the favor of the troublemaker, and it will be difficult to untie it.

Of course, there are exceptions.

"What is your familia?" Hestia asked.

"It's the Soma familia," Lili answered honestly.

"Oh! So it's that Soma who likes to make wine. I haven't seen him for a long time since he went down to the world." Hestia blinked and said.

The gods of Orario are almost all acquaintances.

Hundreds of millions of years of life have made them bored, and they have almost linked up every household.

Moreover, Soma is a god with excellent wine-making skills, and all the gods who have tasted the wine are full of praise.

"Do you... know God Soma?" Lili looked at Hestia, and the flames rekindled in the depths of her almost hopeless eyes.

"I can't say I know each other, I only met a few times when I was in heaven." Hestia shook her head and denied it.

When she was in heaven, she was squatting at home, and Soma was even more squatting at home.

If the two of them can get acquainted with each other, there will be ghosts.

"That's right." Lili's voice fell back.

Originally, she thought that the relationship between the two gods could help her get rid of the Soma family.

However, this hope was also dashed.

Seeing Lili's disappointed look, Hestia puffed up her chest, letting the undulating fullness make Miyuki beside her not know where to put his eyes.

Miyuki's last sentence "go home" made the goddess obviously inspired.

She patted Lili on the shoulder, and said confidently: "Tell me, after all, it was my Miyuki who came to ask me, if I can help, I will do my best."

No matter how bad it is, wouldn't it be enough for her to go to her old friend Hephaestus?

As Orario's largest weapon manufacturer, many family members are willing to give her face.

"...Actually, I want to break away from the Sumo familia," Lili said, looking at the expressions of Miyuki and Hestia at the same time.

Tonight, Captain Zanis brought people around to let her know that it was impossible to wait any longer.

"Leaving the family?" Hestia's expression became troubled.

Breaking away from the family is equivalent to breaking away from the "family" formed by the main god, and it is generally not allowed.

High-level adventurers are unwilling to let go, and low-level adventurers don't care.

Moreover, in the current situation where the main gods have similar attitudes towards adventurers, it is really hard to imagine that anyone would be willing to leave their family.

"No... can't you?" Lili said in a lower tone and she lowered her eyes, and there was melancholy gathering in the corners of her lowered eyes.

"I don't know if it works, but can I ask why?"

Interfering in the affairs of other people's families without authorization can easily be regarded as an act of hostility.

Even a careful goddess like Hestia doesn't want to have a bad relationship with a certain god on the first day of establishing a family.

"I have been excluded from the familia because Lili has no talent as an adventurer, so I can only become a dispensable supporter, but when the companions of the family team up with me, they have been deducting my labor rewards. Beating Lili, when Lili was attacked by monsters in the dungeon, she would pretend to turn a blind eye, even when I went out to work, those people smashed up the flower shop opened by my grandparents, they wanted to destroy Lili's life... When I went to the dungeon today, I even wanted to kill Lily and take away all my savings."

Looking back on the past again, Liliruca couldn't bear to look back on all the pain.

Her parents passed away early, so she could only bear the responsibility of supporting herself when she was young.

This kind of thing should have been done by the family.

But due to the inaction of the main god, Lili can only live with some meager savings every day until now.

She has no turning back.

If you stay with that kind of family, you will definitely die.

The appearance of Miyuki gave Lily the hope of surviving.

"Miyuki-sama is really kind. He is willing to help Lili survive in the dungeon. This is the first time someone didn't deduct my reward... So, Lili still doesn't want to die, can you help me? Master Hestia." Having said that, Lily was already crying so hard.

It is already a miracle that a child, and she is still a girl, can survive to this day in Orario, in that kind of family.

"Is your name Lili? What a nice name." Hestia took a deep breath, squatted down with a loving expression, and looked at the girl.

At this moment, Miyuki seemed to see the shining brilliance from Hestia's body.

That ray of light makes people throb.

"It's been so hard for you all these years. If everything you said is true, I will find a way to get you out of the Soma family! Definitely!"

A petite goddess with a childlike face, full of maternal instincts.

Perhaps, this is the true love of the goddess.

After all, for the gods, the existence of the lower world has always been a group of cute children.

"Thank you... Lord Hestia, and Miyuki-sama..." Lili's eyelids sank and she spoke with tears of gratitude in her eyes.

What happened today is a burden to her.

But the goddess' love made her relax her mind, and she was temporarily comforted and redeemed.

Under Hestia's care, Lili gradually fell asleep.

"Miyuki, is everything she said true?" Hestia hugged the sleeping girl and gently put her on the bed.

"It's basically true. Soma no longer manages the affairs of the familia and has given full power to the head of the family. Before that, they wanted to take Lili away, and then I knocked them out." Miyuki said.

"Nice job!" Hestia raised his fist.

The main god who does nothing is the object of her spurning.

She thinks what Miyuki did was a very good thing.
