Chap 11

We are currently in a crater which used to be a dense forest in the past few minutes,

Riveria: the damage is really strong

Drake: yeah..., sorry bout that

Riveria: no, you don't have to be its good that we already scouted the area before to make sure no one was here

Lefyia: but we can't say that for the monsters here, look

As we looked around we found 15 hell hounds which were turned into pincushions

Riveria: once mastered your magic will be very devastating

Drake: not to mention I haven't used {dark star} yet which is an impact magic

Riveria: true that

After a few minutes of site surveillance, we took the magic cores from the hell hounds and the hell hound fangs to exchange at the guild and I paid for the grimoire and the wands

Riveria: I advise you to not go to the dungeon today I am sure you have some other works so you can go and finish them

Drake: sure

I went to my Eina and asked if I could meet Hestia now and turns out she was sitting right around the corner and heard me

??? : are you the one that wants to join my familia

I saw a small lady even smaller than me who had black hair and blue eyes that looked like sapphire, she wore a white mini dress which had a blue ribbon which was bearly holding those massive assets

Drake looked at Eina

Drake: ah, who is she

Eina: she is goddess Hestia

Drake: oh

Hestia: ne, ne tell me are you the one that wanted to join my familia

Drake: yeah but

Hestia: but what

Drake: what's the catch

Hestia: what do you mean

Drake: so is your familia just a famila made of adventurers or it also does side jobs like smiting, farming, potion-making etc

Hestia scratches her head and says with a sad smile

Hestia: actually I don't have any members in my familia because I am currently in debt and I have to work to pay it off so if you join you will be the first one

Drake: how much is your debt

Hestia: around 100 million valis

Drake: and how are you planning to pay it off

Hestia: well I am currently working in a stall to sell some food and that's the only way I am earning

Drake: hum, OK I will join your familia but I have a condition no matter what I earn you will still work hard if you are fired from your job or decide to leave it you will work as my secretary if you are OK with that then I will join your familia because I don't want my goddess to be a freeloader

Drake put his hand forward

Hestia without waiting for a second grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously also moving her melons

Hestia: deal

Drake: OK then where do you live

Hestia: the abandoned curch

Drake thought for a second and said

Drake: Yosh Yosh, you will pack your things by tonight and meet me at the silver moon Inn I will pay for your room, I don't want my goddess to stay at an abandoned church while I am living at a good Inn

Hestia at this point had tears in her eyes and hugged Drake

Hestia : * sob* thank you *sob*

Drake: now, now go and pack your things I don't want you to be late

Hestia: on it

Drake: Eina san how much does it cost to buy a good house

Eina: about 200 million valid for a good small house much bigger houses will cost much more

Drake: well I currently have about 10 million because of my dungeon dives and the job at the bar

Eina: if you are lucky enough to find a jack bird you can easily earn 1 million valis but it is very rare

Drake: hum I will go solo dive till floor 10 tomorrow

Eina: just don't push your self too much

Drake: OK

I left to go towards the Hephaestus famila

{a a few minutes later}

A I was currently standing in front of what looked like a large complex and I could hear a lot of hammering happening so I thought this was the right place but after seeing the emblem I confirmed it

Guard: state your business

Drake: is Tsubaki san free, I would like to talk to her

??? : so you came brat

I look back to see tsubaki approach

The guard bowed at her

Drake: yeah I wasn't dungeon diving today so I thought to come to meet your goddess since I also have an order for her

Tsubaki: Oh and what would that be

Drake: well I need a tool to be more precise a chisel

Tsubaki: I can make one for you

Drake: sorry Tsubaki san this one is a little different since the I have only one of the pieces that I want it's tip to be made by and It cannot be found easily so I would like to make sure that there are no mistakes, I hope you can understand

Tsubaki sighed and said: sure, sure but you have to have some money on you if you want her to work on it

Drake: well let's see

After a few minutes, I walk into a room where a woman with red hair and red eyes was sitting she had an eye patch on her right eye and had a sharp face with a slender body

She was currently drinking some tea

Tsubaki: kami sama I have brought the one I told you about

Hephaestus looked at me for a second and then stood up and came towards me

Hephaestus stood in front of me and analysed by the body for a while and her eyes widened

Hephaestus: where did you get the material to forge the blade and the arm guard also who forged them

Drake: for your first question it was my grandpa who gave them to me in form of lucky charms and for your second question I was the one who forged them although I wasn't very skilled at that time

Hephaestus: hum, your arm guard is actually very good if I had to price it would easily be ranged about 1 billion vails

Tsubaki's jaw dropped at that statement

Drake: well I won't be selling it since its the last memories of my grandfather

Hephaestus: I can understand, ah sorry where are my manners my name is Hephaestus the goddess of this famila

Drake: I am Drake a lvl 1 and the sous chef at hostess of fertility

Hephaestus: oh so you are the one that increased the number of customers there well I have to say if you can do something to a place that's already crowded and convenience Mia san to hire you, you must be very skilled

Drake: you could say that

Hephaestus: so what can I help you with

Drake put his arm in his side pocket and removed a stone which looked like a normal rock

Hephaestus looked at the stone for a moment and said

Hephaestus: where did you find it

Drake: well I can't tell you the location but I can tell you I did not use any illegal means

Tsubaki was now interested in the topic

Hephaestus knew that the kid wasn't lying since you will be caught if you lie in front of a god or a goddess

Hephaestus: what do you want to do with it

Drake: I want you to make a chisel for me using this

Hephaestus: don't tell me you also have that skill

Drake just simply nods

Tsubaki: what skills are you talking about Hephaestus sama

Hephaestus: rune carving a skill that is able to produce magic weapons the skill when mastered it can produce magic swords that are even better than the once the crozzo family produces or even growth types weapons

At this point, Tsubaki exe had stopped working while Hephaestus continued

Hephaestus: there are only two people who can use this skill in the world right now and both of them are gods

Drake: well I became the third it seems

Hephaestus: I will make the chisel since it is a really rare opportunity even for a god but can you t afford it

Drake: how much does it cost

Hephaestus: about a billion

She thought for a second and then said

Hephaestus: I can lower it to about 10 million if you show the skill in action and also tell me how you were able to forge that arm guard and that sword

Drake: I can do that but I will pay once the thing is done cuz I have the amount but I will go broke if I don't get a bit more so you will have to wait for then, as for your second question

Drake pulled out a iron ore from his pocket and then used UBW to turn it into a dagger

Drake: this is how I do it
