Seeing the other party's attitude, Aoba breathed a sigh of relief.
There should be no problem.
“Wow—delicious!”
The girl put down her bowl and exclaimed with delight, "It's delicious!"
Lucoa sat down next to him and handed him a napkin.
There were still some water stains at the corners of the other person's mouth, and tears that hadn't dried yet at the corners of their eyes.
"Thank you."
Hestia calmly and gracefully accepted the paper and wiped her mouth.
After all, he is a god.
There is still some basic etiquette.
"In your world, do the gods have many familiars?"
Lucoa is very interested in the world where the goddess of girls resides.
In her perception, the girl did not seem to exhibit any of the qualities of a deity.
Hestia nodded in agreement.
Her mood dipped a little when the topic of her clan came up, but she still answered Lucoa's question quite generously.
"Yes, many gods live in Orario, and their kin go on adventures in the dungeons to level up."
"The guild with the most followers will be recognized as the most popular deity."
Dungeons, adventures, leveling up...
Aoba, who was resting at the bar while feeding Kanna, was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
This sounds more like a game.
Simultaneously.
Thor, who had started cleaning the shop because there were no customers, exclaimed in surprise:
"Hey! The gods all live in the same place, don't they ever fight each other?"
In Tohru's world.
Unless they are gods from the same faction, they will fight each other when they meet.
"Fight?"
Hestia tilted her head, then picked up a cookie with a satisfied look, put it in her mouth, took a sip of tea, and let out a long, contented sigh.
"Private fights are not allowed in the city of Orario, but vicious brawls can still occur in the dungeons."
This is an undeniable fact.
Lucoa's heterochromatic eyes widened slightly, as if she were somewhat displeased:
"What did the gods do? Did they just watch their subjects die because of fighting and risking their lives?"
Quetzalcoatl was tired of fighting, and even more tired of his followers fighting and dying for their own interests.
"this..."
Hestia stopped chewing for a moment.
She could sense that Lucoa, who was sitting opposite her, seemed very angry.
"Hestia, if you have a familiar in the future, will you let him do some adventurous things?"
Even if it's just a fleeting moment, let's talk about it! Aoba, sitting at the bar.
At this moment, everyone could sense the compassionate divinity emanating from Lucoa.
"Lucoya..."
He murmured softly.
This was the first time he had seen Lucoa with the aura of a god since they met.
"Lord Lucoa..."
Kanna quickly swallowed the white radish in her mouth, gripped the edge of the bar with both hands, revealing a small corner of her face and a pair of adorable big eyes, and said in a sweet voice:
"He seems very angry!"
The same applies to Thor and Fafnir.
They all stopped what they were doing and looked in Lucoa's direction.
"I..."
Hestia didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She simply looked down at her reflection in the clear tea.
Under the bright yellow light, she could hardly see herself clearly.
"The retinue is not a tool for the gods to please themselves."
Lucoa opened her eyes completely.
Even sitting in an ordinary little shop, she exudes an aura that is described as divine.
Even Hestia, who is also a goddess, pales in comparison to Lucoa, appearing as insignificant as a mortal.
Even among gods, there are differences! (For the most thrilling novels, visit Feilu Novels!)
Moreover, Lucoa, as the feathered serpent god, is known as the creator goddess in some mythologies!
"Hestia, now that you've become a god, you must shoulder the responsibilities of a god..."
Lucoa sat there and reached out to ruffle the goddess's black hair.
It's like a senior teaching a junior.
Her face wore a gentle smile that was enough to encompass everything in the world.
"The deities and their followers are two sides of the same coin. The deities need their followers to spread their divinity and receive offerings, and the followers also need the deities' help to become better."
In some respects, it's a fairly fair exchange.
"I... I think I understand."
Hestia looked at the reflection in the glass and seemed to understand something.
The ripples on the water dispelled her confusion.
"The relatives and the gods choose each other."
The girl looked up at her senior, and the sadness and confusion in her eyes seemed to have mostly dissipated.
"That's right~"
Lucoa nodded with satisfaction, a smile suddenly appearing on her lips:
"So, how about we try turning the store manager into a family member?"
Her words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing a great deal of gasps.
"Eh~?!"
Thor, holding a rag, was the first to object:
"If the store manager becomes a spouse, won't I lose my job?"
Kanna also jogged out from behind the bar, pounding Lucoa's fleshy thighs with both hands: "Now that the manager has become a familiar, Kanna won't be able to eat any delicious food!"
Even Fafnir scoffed dismissively.
Aoba, sitting behind the bar, was caught in the crossfire and stood up to look at Hestia:
"Hestia, Lucoa was just joking."
"Keep up the good work! I believe Hestia will definitely have her own familia in the future!"
He encouraged the petite goddess.
The girl, who had just regained her energy after eating cookies, was full of fighting spirit once again!
"Manager! When we meet again, I'll definitely show you my kin!"
Hestia clenched her fist and said very seriously.
"Well, come on!"
Aoba nodded with a light laugh.
Then, he cast a dangerous glance at Lucoa, who was pretending to be unaffected.
"Lucoya, explain yourself."
Why did the topic turn to him?
Fortunately, Hestia wasn't so heartbroken anymore. If she had said those words earlier, Aoba's rejection might have been the final straw that broke the girl's back.
"Hehe~?"
When Lucoa was asked a question by Aoba, she tilted her head, tapped it with her fist, and stuck her tongue out at Aoba.
It's obvious she's trying to get away with being cute.
"This trick doesn't work."
Ignoring Lucoa's cute act, Aoba slowly walked up behind her.
He directly grabbed the dragon horns on the dragon girl's head.
"Eh~!"
Lucoa never expected the shopkeeper to target his dragon horns, and his body, hidden under the table, began to tremble uncontrollably.
The meaty leg accidentally bumped into the table, which puzzled Hestia on the other side.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, I just accidentally bumped into the table."
