Danmachi: Gacha Draw

Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Finding a home



In this way, at least ordinary people won't be able to know the specific data through simple viewing, unless other gods personally use "falna" to forcefully unlock them. 

It's like taking out an insurance policy. 

Then, poor Hestia was kicked out of the room by Hephaestus...

"Okay, Hestia, now that you have a dependent family, don't rely on me anymore. It's time to learn how to face life in the lower world with your new family. As the god of the dependent family, you should act like one." 

The adventurers of the Hephaestus Family also quickly packed up Hestia's little luggage. 

There was no other way, although Hestia was full of tears, she had no choice but to leave. Just as Hephaestus said, she was no longer a goddess without members, but a goddess with a family and a member.

You can't lose face in front of your own children. 

"Don't worry Link, I'll take you to find a place to live right now!" 

Hestia said confidently. 

As a goddess, it would be too embarrassing to have to use someone else's place to live. 

However...

Hestia touched her pockets with both hands, rummaged through her luggage for a long time, and finally froze on the spot...

Only then did she realize that she didn't even have a vali in her hand! 

Nothing!!!

"It's over, what should I do now? I'm going to embarrass myself in front of Link..."

Hestia suddenly calmed down, no longer as full of energy as before. 

Orario is no different from ordinary cities. Money is still very important in this society, which naturally means it's hard to advance. 

"It's fine. If it's Vali, I still have some left here." 

At that moment, Link suddenly reached out his hand and touched Hestia's soft hair lovingly. He then extended his hand and a bag containing 10,000 Vali appeared out of nowhere in Link's hand. 

"Mr. Hestia, here's 10,000 Vali. I should be able to find a good place to live temporarily. I'll enter the dungeon to earn the remaining funds tomorrow. What do you think?" 

"Link..."

Hestia took the bag and looked at the Vali inside, tears almost welling up in her eyes. 

"Don't cry, Lady Hestia. I'll help you carry your luggage, but I don't know the situation in Orario yet, so I'll have to trouble you to find a place to live and show the way." 

"No, no, no... it's not troublesome. I'm very happy to be able to help Link. I'll go out to work and pay you back this money, Link..."

The twin pigtails suddenly shook into bells. 

Seeing Hestia's cute appearance, Link couldn't help but touch her head again. 

"It's okay, there's no need to pay it back. As long as I'm here, Lady Hestia can do whatever she wants and live a good life."

"Eh... I don't want to be someone lazy! By the way, Link should stop using honorifics for me in the future. Just call me Hestia. From now on, we'll be equal members of the family, not boss and subordinate!

"Okay, Hestia!"

...

Hestia has lived in Orario for some time and is relatively familiar with the surroundings.

Under her leadership, the two of them quickly found a single-family house located on North Street.

After understanding it, the owner of this house is a merchant who travels to various towns because he is going to do business in other cities, he will not be returning anytime soon.

Under the guidance of the owner of the house, Link walked in and took a look. In addition to the living room and kitchen, there were five bedrooms and two bathrooms. He decided to live in it for a short period of time. Time. 

It's very good. There are more rooms. If new members join in the future, they won't have anywhere to live. 

The monthly rent is 45,000 valis. This price is already considered cheap. After all, these three-story villa-type single-family houses are rare in all of Orario. 

It's equivalent to renting a villa in metropolitan cities in the past life. 

However, there are also disadvantages. 

There is not much furniture in the house, and the dust is relatively heavy. You need to clean it yourself. It is also far from the entrance and exit of the underground city, the center of Orario, and you need to walk a long distance to get there. Of course, it is also far from the city center. Relatively quiet, less noisy, each has its pros and cons. 

Link finally negotiated and lowered the price to 40,000 valis. As a bargaining chip, Link rented the property for three consecutive months. If he wanted to renew the contract, he would sign a contract at that time. 

The owner also immediately agreed. After signing the contract, he gave the key to Link. 

After collecting the keys and putting down their luggage, Link and Hestia went out to buy furniture, especially personal items such as tableware, mattresses, and sheets, which needed to be replaced. 

After purchasing it, the two of them began to clean up. 

When the simple cleaning job was completed, three hours had already passed. 

The sun had set, and moonlight filled the sky. 

"ah…"

Hestia didn't have any goddess image, just like the little girl next door. She jumped straight onto the bed, as if she was lying there exhausted. 

There's no way, because the house has been vacant for a long time, it's full of dust. If you want to live in it, you can only clean up the dust first. Cleaning every corner of the room is really laborious and consumes a lot of energy. 

In these three hours the two of them have done a lot. 

It was fine for Link because he exercises regularly. The main reason was that Hestia had been sealed with divine power and became like a mortal. She suddenly felt very tired when she suddenly worked so hard to do physical labor. 

Lying on the slightly hard mattress with her whole body aching, Hestia couldn't help but miss her past life as a useless person.

When she was at Hephaestus's house, she had her family's children take care of me, so she didn't have to work as hard...

But when Hestia turned around and saw Link who was still cleaning the fireplace, the tired expression on her face instantly disappeared. She instantly stood up and reached out to caress his pouting face. 

Now that you have a family, you can't be lazy anymore, Hestia! 

Hestia tried to cheer herself up. 

"Link..."

"What's wrong, Hestia?" 

Link turned around when he heard the sound and saw Hestia sitting cross-legged on the bed. 

Because she was wearing a white mini dress, the cross-legged sitting position allowed Hestia's underwear to be completely exposed.

"Hey… Hestia, you should be more careful when wearing clothes like this. It's not good for others to look at you if you're naked." 

"Ah…?!" 

Hestia's face turned red as she reacted, and she quickly grabbed the hem of her skirt and changed her position to kneeling. 

Year, from now on she'll be living with a guy, so she must be more careful. 

Hestia coughed lightly, adjusted her posture, and said, "Okay, I'll pay more attention in the future! But Link must also pay more attention to safety in the future. As my first family member, now my only family, if something happens to you, I'll be sad."

"Don't worry about it, Hestia. What I desire is power, not to seek death in the dungeon. If my life is in danger, I will choose an opportunity to retreat. Don't worry." 

"Eh~ That's good."

Obviously, Hestia was relieved, and she was also sincerely afraid that her child would eventually die in the dungeon due to excessive pursuit of power. 

Ever since she came to the lower realm, she has heard too many rumors about potential adventurers who eventually died in the dungeon. 

Hestia was worried that Link would become one of them. 

Now that Link has a clear understanding, she is somewhat more relaxed.

But she is still mentally worried.
