The Next Day
After helping Ryuu with work, they asked Mia for leave and left together under the teasing remarks of the other girls.
More than ten minutes later, Ryuu took Yuri to Northwest Street.
Since the Guild is located here, many adventurers can naturally be seen along Northwest Street.
This is also why many stores are packed with items.
There are many weapon shops, pharmacies, item shops with various goods, and taverns where adventurers can spend their free time.
While Yuri was browsing these stores, Ryuu explained the armors they carried—especially some expensive but powerful magic armors.
"Yuri, remember to always carry potions when going into the dungeon, and also…"
The main building of the Guild is called the Pantheon. It is a large space with counters where adventurers can speak to their advisors, and it also has an exchange area.
There are also small meeting rooms where adventurers can speak one-on-one with their advisor without being overheard. Additionally, there is a library area.
Most employees work on the first floor of the building, while high-ranking officials work on the second floor.
After learning a lot from Ryuu along the way, Yuri arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.
But before he could enter, he saw an interesting scene.
There were several groups of adventurers walking around. Some of them wore clearly expensive attire, while others were dressed in more humble clothing—low-quality armor and cracked leather.
But unlike their clothing, their weapons were clearly well cared for.
When many people come to Orario, they think they're going to reach the top. But in reality, the vast majority of adventurers remain stuck at level 1 for the rest of their lives. No matter how hard they try, they never rise.
However, Yuri is fully confident in his abilities. He will not be satisfied unless he reaches level 9.
"Yuri, we've arrived at the Guild. You can sort out your things—I'll wait for you outside." Ryuu unconsciously tightened his hood to better conceal his face.
"I understand. I'll be back in a bit." Yuri nodded and entered the Guild.
"Excuse me, is this where I go to talk about joining a family?" Yuri approached one of the counters and asked.
The so-called "Family" is the name for a group formed by the subordinates of the gods who descended to the underworld.
To enjoy the game called life in the lower world, the gods established rules that suited their aesthetic—namely, sealing away the omniscient and omnipotent "Arcane."
In other words, the gods, who reduced themselves to 'human' bodies, give "blessings" to people in the lower realm.
This practice of allowing their members to start adventures and compete with each other is part of the gods' entertainment.
People who receive a "Falna" are called "children," signifying their status as members of a family.
The Guild attendant in front of Yuri looked up from the pamphlet she held in one hand.
She was a beautiful half-elf with a slender body, pointed ears, shoulder-length brown hair, and emerald-colored eyes.
She wore the Guild uniform, which consisted of a black vest over a white blouse with a black bow around the collar, black pants, a pair of black socks, and black high-heeled boots.
This was Eina Tulle, Bell Cranel's advisor in the original work.
On the other hand, when Eina looked at the young man in front of her, she couldn't help but slightly part her lips in surprise.
He was a young man with a striking appearance.
His hair was dark, nearly black, with a deep blue-black hue visible in certain lighting. It was styled in a slightly messy, tousled cut of short to medium length.
It wasn't perfectly groomed, with some strands falling casually around his face and ears. The hair had noticeable volume and texture, suggesting softness.
His skin was very light and pale—almost like porcelain.
His eyes were large and a vibrant, bright blue, with narrow, cat-like pupils—a stark contrast to his dark hair. They carried a captivating and intense look, conveying confidence or perhaps a hint of mystery.
His eyebrows were neither thick nor thin, subtly shaping his eyes. His nose was straight and well-proportioned, not a dominant feature.
His mouth curved subtly, forming a faint, almost imperceptible smile that conveyed quiet self-assurance.
His jawline was defined and strong. His expression was generally calm, but carried a quiet intensity that sparked curiosity about his personality.
His build was slim and slender, suggesting a youthful physique. His posture was upright and confident—not slouched or relaxed, but rather alert and ready for anything.
"Um, hello? I'm here to find a family."
Yuri repeated his words, snapping the distracted Eina back to attention. She quickly responded:
"Yes, what kind of family would you like to join?"
"Families are divided into several types, mainly: commercial, blacksmithing, and exploration… What kind of family are you looking for?"
There's no doubt which type has the most members.
Most adventurers who come to Orario are eager to explore the dungeon.
Yuri doesn't like being subordinate—this was very clear in the world of Demon Slayer.
He prefers to be in control of the situation rather than taking orders.
Most importantly, Yuri believed that no one in their right mind would reject a cute goddess like Hestia.
"Exploration family."
Yuri thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, Miss Attendant, are there any adventurers who've been promoted very quickly recently?"
"Someone who leveled up quickly?" Eina thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the only one who's leveled up quickly in recent years is the Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein."
Yuri nodded and asked again, "So, do you have any information about gods who have just descended or haven't established a family yet?"
"Yes, we do. Wait just a moment—I'll be right back."
Eina left and returned a few seconds later with a large book, quickly retrieving the information Yuri requested.
Receiving the information he needed, Yuri smiled slightly.
Although he had no idea what had happened to Bell, the information Eina gave him showed that Hestia had descended to the underworld not long ago and had not yet formed a family.
