Danmachi- Merchant of Orario

After a day of work Domnus looked up at the sky and noticed that it was time to leave.

Packing up his stand once more Domnus began his way back to the mansion, before being stopped on his way.

A man jumped out in front of Domnus with a letter in his hand.

"Delivery!" the man trying to hand off the letter to Domnus.

Domnus grabbed the note and read through it, seeing what is said a smile formed on Domnus's face.

"Thank you," Domnus said continuing on his way to the mansion with a bit more hurried pace.

"No problem," the man responded, "The Hermes Familia pays well after all," the man then muttered.

"GUESS WHAT!" Domnus yelled opening the door.

"What?" Bell said laying on the bed currently having his status updated by Hestia.

"The church is done being worked on, we can move back!"  Domnus said excitedly.

"Oh really!" Bell said getting up sharing in the excitement and trying to get up.

"Bell, I'm still updating your status," Hestia said pushing Bell back down onto the bed.

"Sorry Lady Hestia," Bell said an embraced smile on his face.

The reason that Domnus was currently heading up to Hephaestus's forge was because he was going to tell her that he, Bell, and Hestia were leaving.

He felt it polite to tell her face-to-face instead of having a middleman do it for him.

Domnus was so ready to go back and see the church that he hadn't even taken off his backpack.

As he arrived at the forge, he noticed it was silent, the only noise that Domnus could hear was his own knocking on the door.

"Come in," Domnus hears from inside the door.

Opening the door and walking inside Domnus saw Hephaestus examining a golden knife with engravings on it.

"Ah, it's you," Hephestus exclaimed seeing who was in the forge, "Did you know that this knife was made from your scrap?" Hephaestus asked.

"I did not," Domnus replied looking at the gilded knife.

"It used to be all black, completely made of the scrap, but then I wanted a golden engraving on it," Hephaestus said, "But when I finished engraving, I noticed the part of the knife which touched the gold had become much tougher than before," Hephaestus continued spinning the knife in her hand.

"Interesting," Domnus remarked wanting to go head and tell her he's leaving.

"Then I tried to melt the whole thing away to restart now that I know how to complete it, but that only ended up melting the non-golden parts leaving me with just an engraving," Hephestus said, "So, working with what I had, re-made the knife covered the whole thing in gold and melted the excess off, and that's the story of this knife," Hephestus concluded.

"Very interesting," Domnus responded not knowing what else to say, "Does it have a name?" Domnus then wondered aloud.

"Midas," Hephestus then replied after a second of thought.

"Well, for what I'm up here for," Domnus said, "The church is done so me Bell and Hestia are moving back there," Domnus told her.

"Then if this is the last time, I will see you," Hephaestus said walking towards Domnus, "Then I will give you this," Hephaestus then handed Domnus the Midas knife.

"I can't accept this for free," Domnus said trying to give the knife back to Hephaestus.

"Who said it would be for free?" Hephaestus questioned, "I will give you this knife if you give me another piece of scrap," Hephaestus said.

"That sounds like a deal," Domnus replied putting the knife in his bag and giving Hephaestus another piece of scrap.

"Perhaps you can show me how you used this metal," Hephestus said looking at Domnus.

"Sorry," Domnus said, "But my days of creating are all over for me," Domnus admitted before leaving through the doors he entered in.

"Look at it!" Domnus said arriving at the church.

The church looked the same, except it currently looking much cleaner and more taken care of.

The inside looked swept and to the excitement of all three the large cockroach nest had been removed. It also had new pilers to help keep the church's roof up above their heads.

In the basement there were lanterns hung instead of the old torches, the fireplace was stocked with wood and the chimney was clean!

Yet as Bell Hestia and Domnus went through the rooms the debt that he had kept ringing in his head like a bell.

While Bell and Hestia unpacked, they didn't have much Hestia just wanted everything to be in a specific place in the church, Domnus put his bag down and began to think in his chair.

Including every sale that he had done so far Domnus still had four hundred ninety-nine million five hundred sixty-four thousand three hundred fifty valis left to pay off.

The ways that Domnus had been making money obviously haven't been enough and he needs other ways to bring in valis.

This brought up many questions that Domnus needed to answer. Questions like how what and where. 

"Thinking about money?" Bell asked while Domnus was lost in thought.

"You caught me," Domnus responded putting on a smile.

"I'm not the best person to give advice on money," Bell admitted, "But, if you keep going when things get hard life starts to go your way, that's how I got into the Hestia familia after all," Bell admitted with a smile.

"Not the first time I've heard that," Domnus said, "But that is nice to hear," Domnus said to Bell

Getting comfortable in his chair, Domnus quickly fell to sleep. 

Bell went to tell Domnus thank you, but noticed he was asleep and decided to leave him be.
