Bell, well, from now on Bell has nothing to do with this.
"Sigh, these low-level monsters. They only drop this tiny amount of magic stones. What a waste of my time."
Picking up the magic stones, Nathaniel weighed them in his hand, complaining with a disdainful expression.
"This... this..."
Bell, well, now he has a little something to do with this again.
Seeing Nathaniel disgusted expression, he couldn't help wanting to complain, because he didn't even seen where Nathaniel was just now. So many monsters were killed directly in less than half a minute. Could this really be considered a waste of your time?
Nathaniel, putting away the magic stones, looked at Bell who was staring at him in shock. He observed Bell attire - the beginner equipment provided by the Adventurers Guild, and a sword that looked decent enough. Probably from out of town, the best sword in his village. He was clearly a novice adventurer.
Seeing the newcomer, Nathaniel mischievous side emerged. He walked directly up to Bell and, under Bell wary gaze, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Keep it up, the future is yours."
Then, as Bell gaze turned to confusion, he left with flair.
He had already completed today dungeon adventure and was now preparing to return to the surface.
After leaving the dungeon, Nathaniel went straight to the Adventurers' Guild. He sold all the magic stones he had farmed from the dungeon to the guild, exchanging them for Valis, the currency needed for living in Orario.
Then he left the guild, went to the shopping district to buy some daily necessities, and returned directly to his Familia base - a remote, abandoned church.
The Familia Nathaniel belonged to was none other than the most famous Oppai Loli Familia in the Danmachi world, the Hestia Familia.
After arriving in this world and becoming an adventurer, Nathaniel, having achieved the wisdom of the Grey Wolf, went straight to find Hestia.
As an otaku, he naturally had many waifus, and Hestia was his waifu in the Danmachi world.
Having joined the ranks of transmigrators and arriving in a world where his waifu existed, Nathaniel had to consider whether this was his only chance in life to repent... no, that's not the right phrase.
Having rarely joined the ranks of transmigrators and arriving in a world where his waifu existed, Nathaniel was certain this was a heaven-sent opportunity. He had to seize every chance to make his waifu his!
So, Nathaniel directly went to Hestia and opened with:
"Be my mommy!"
No, that's wrong.
"Be my wife!"
Standing outside the stall, bathed in the soft evening sunlight, Nathaniel smiled and extended a hand towards Hestia, uttering these words.
Hestia, who was selling jagamarukun, was completely stunned. Although she considered herself a beautiful goddess and had been pursued before, no one had ever been so direct!
The gods in Orario led chaotic lives. Both male and female gods were quite wild, with many gods having relationships with adventurers. The most famous was Freya, Orario most renowned goddess of beauty.
However, Hestia hadn't. Because she was the famous virgin goddess, Hestia immediately refused.
But Nathaniel didn't mind at all and directly asked Hestia what he needed to do to make her his wife.
Hestia was a bit bewildered by the question. Was this young man really so brave?
Hestia, being naturally good-natured, didn't get angry. After thinking for a moment, she jokingly said that unless Nathaniel joined her Familia.
........
Hestia had been in Orario for some time now, but she couldn't recruit any Familia members at all. She had come to the mortal world too late - others Familia had already developed, like the public company, she was just starting her business, and investing in the wrong projects as those established companies. No matter how you looked at it, she couldn't win!
This resulted in no one in all of Orario willing to join Hestia Familia, a new company with nothing but a boss, lacking funds, employees, and everything else.
But Nathaniel, who knew the plot, thought: is that all?
He agreed on the spot to join Hestia Familia without any hesitation.
Hestia was very surprised, but she also worried that Nathaniel, being new, might not understand and make a mistake. So she explained that she was just starting out, had nothing, and even the startup funds would need to be earned by Nathaniel himself.
She tried to dissuade Nathaniel this way, after all, he claimed to be a newcomer. What if after joining the familia, he felt he had been tricked and then left, even leaving a bad review on his way out?
To this, Nathaniel firmly stated that it was fine, he wasn't short on money.
"I didn't come for those things, I came for you, Hestia. No matter how down and out Hestia Familia is, I don't care. I just need you and that's enough!"
At this moment, the benefit of having created a handsome face came into play. The handsome face, combined with this passionate declaration, directly struck Hestia heart.
For the first time, she had an adventurer willing to join her Familia. For the first time, she had such a passionate, handsome young man pursuing her. Two wonderful things combined - it was just too great!
Hestia herself was a goddess who expressed her feelings very directly, so she immediately accepted Nathaniel. As for becoming Nathaniel wife, Hestia didn't agree to that.
But in reality...
"Nathan-kun, welcome back!"
The moment he entered the church, a white figure immediately pounced on him, diving straight into Nathaniel arms. Her hands wrapped around Nathaniel waist, her twin-tailed head nuzzling against his chest. Nathaniel, with a face full of smiles, reached out to stroke Hestia head.
"I'm back, my dear wife!"
"How rude, Nathan-kun. I'm your great goddess, not your wife. You should respect me properly."
"Yes, my dear wife. No problem, my dear wife."
Indeed it was respect. Hestia was his dear goddess, and at the same time his wife, so combining the two, calling her 'dear wife' was completely fine.
"You.... I really don't know what to do with you."
Although she said not to, as long as Nathaniel persisted a little, Hestia would just gloss over it.
"Dear goddess, these are my earnings for today."
After patting Hestia head, Nathaniel took off the package on his back. Inside the package was Valis fully exchanged from magic stones.
"Oh! There's actually this much!"
"Yeah, I prepared thoroughly today, so I ventured quite deep, all the way to the 10th floor."
"What? You reached the 10th floor? Nathan, are you hurt?!"
Upon hearing that Nathaniel had reached the 10th floor, Hestia immediately let go of her hands and began frantically checking Nathaniel body for any injuries.
"Don't worry, my dear wife, I'm perfectly fine. I'm really strong, and I didn't get hurt at all."
Nathaniel reached out to stop Hestia actions, reassuring her with his words.
"Nathan, you're amazing!"
After confirming that he wasn't injured, Hestia hugged Nathaniel again, burying her head in Nathaniel chest and rubbing against him.
Hmm, even though Hestia claims she's not Nathaniel wife, her actions clearly resemble those of a loving newlywed wife.
