The original trio traveling together to find a new Familia residence had become a quartet. For Hestia, this was an even more joyful occasion. However, her intuition told her that something felt off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. Everything seemed perfect.

Her beloved deity was carrying her on his back, and although his left hand holding her would occasionally act up, it wasn't a big deal. Then there was Saeko beside them. After these past two days of brief interaction, she understood Saeko's personality; she wasn't someone who liked to initiate conversations, so she quietly followed along, always prioritizing Mingjun.

And then there was her old friend Hephaestus, who rarely came down from the tower to visit, also seeming quite happy.

But why did her divine intuition tell her that something was amiss? She couldn't figure out what it was, no matter how hard she looked. It was puzzling.

Hestia wasn't a goddess who liked to dwell on things. After pondering for a short while without reaching any conclusion, she gave up on trying to figure it out.

Along the way, Hephaestus stood on Wang Xiaoming's left side, constantly engaging Hestia in conversation, causing Hestia's head to remain leaning on Wang Xiaoming's left shoulder. As for Tokishima Saeko, who was being held by Wang Xiaoming's right hand, she was basically out of sight.

And this was Hephaestus's plan. Having decided to help Wang Xiaoming keep the secret, she needed to prevent Hestia from looking to the right, ensuring she wouldn't see Wang Xiaoming holding Tokishima Saeko's right hand. So, all she could do was constantly find topics to chat with Hestia about.

The point where Hestia felt something was off was that Hephaestus, who was usually not very talkative, was suddenly very chatty today. This gave Hestia a strange feeling. It should be her who was doing most of the talking, but she didn't realize this.

Amidst the friendly conversation between the two goddesses and two humans, the group of four entered the North District and found the croquette shop where Hestia used to work.

"Ah, Ken!"

Inside the croquette shop, Hestia's divine friend Takemikazuchi was still working there. Hearing someone call his name, he immediately looked up.

"Oh, it's Hestia. What brings you here today?"

Takemikazuchi, belonging to the Shinto mythology system, was a god of war, but working in the croquette shop, he looked like an ordinary person. Only the Japanese-style ancient hair knots on either side of his head indicated that he was from the Far East, a person or a god.

"We're planning to move."

Hestia finally slid down from Wang Xiaoming's back. Under Hephaestus's nervous gaze, she didn't look at Wang Xiaoming's right hand, but instead went directly to the front from the left side. Wang Xiaoming also released Tokishima Saeko's right hand, which made Hephaestus breathe a sigh of relief.

"Our residence caught fire last night. The church was burned down, so we plan to move, intending to move near your and Miach's Familia. That way, we can visit each other when we're free."

"Is that so? That's good. It's quite boring in the Familia when I have free time."

"Yeah, yeah, that's right. Going to find other guys requires running very far, like Hephaestus. This girl always stays in her shop, and every time I go to the tower, I have to wait a long time."

"I'm really sorry for making you wait so long."

Hephaestus, who was mentioned, glared at Hestia with her one eye. I'm helping you cover up, but you're complaining about me!

"Ken, do you know any good places nearby that can be used as a residence?"

Takemikazuchi, who had been working at the croquette shop, should be the most familiar with the surrounding situation. Asking him would definitely be no problem.

"A good place to be a residence? There is a place that is currently for sale."

"Oh, tell me quickly where it is. No, Ken, just take us to see it directly."

"Hestia, wait a moment, I'll go and tell the others."

Takemikazuchi explained to the other employees, asking them to help look after the shop, and then he walked out.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see that place."

Thus, the team changed from four to five people. The five people set off from the croquette shop and soon found the entrance to a detached building with a courtyard.

"It's here. This used to be a hotel, but the owner of the hotel was killed, and no one inherited it, so it has been idle ever since. For the time being, it is under the management of the Ganesha Familia. If you want to buy this place, you can go directly to Ganesha, because they directly took over here, so the price should be very good."

"Really?!"

Hestia couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yeah, if you're not at ease, you can go in and take a look first. People from the Ganesha Familia come to patrol here every once in a while, so as long as there is no one living inside, it should not have been sold yet."

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

Wang Xiaoming pushed open the courtyard door, which was not locked, and took the lead in walking into the courtyard.

The entire courtyard was not large, but it was also two hundred square meters. Moreover, there was a detached villa in the center, and there was also a backyard. The backyard occupied about one-third of the entire courtyard, which made Wang Xiaoming feel very good. He could put some decorations in the backyard, such as holding a table in the backyard for celebration activities within the Familia in the future, without having to go to the Hostess of Fertility every time.

Although adventurers like to go to that kind of lively restaurant to celebrate, Wang Xiaoming was not too interested in the Hostess of Fertility, because he had been there several times, and Syr didn't have any interest in him at all.

What's wrong? Is my face not handsome enough, or is my soul not shining enough? This goddess doesn't have any interest in me at all. Isn't it said that traversers will attract goddesses? Do you like that gentle white-faced Bel so much?

The so-called Syr is a cute waitress at the Hostess of Fertility. On the surface, she looks like an ordinary waitress, but in reality, she is the incarnation of the goddess Freya, helping Freya secretly observe the adventurers of Orario. If there is a soul that she likes, she will approach as Syr, and then try to take it away.

Syr's approach to Bel was also for this reason.

It's just that this incarnation of the goddess and Wang Xiaoming had met several times, and there was no intention of getting close at all.

Because Wang Xiaoming didn't know that in the eyes of the goddess, Wang Xiaoming's soul was not only not dazzling, but even a little dark!

This person doesn't look like a good thing!

Okay, let's not talk about Syr. After turning around the entire courtyard, Wang Xiaoming and Hestia were very satisfied. A three-story villa with a backyard is perfect as a Familia's residence!

"Very good, it's decided, it's here!"

Wang Xiaoming, as the captain of the Familia, waved his hand and decided to take it down.

59. Hephaestus's "Blessing"

"I, Hestia, announce again that from today onwards, this is our Hestia Familia's new residence!"

"Oh!!"

Wang Xiaoming cooperated very diligently with Hestia's speech, cheering, although he was the only one cheering in the entire hall, but this was enough to make Hestia, who was standing on the chair, laugh happily. The nearby Hephaestus, Takemikazuchi, and Miach were all clapping happily.

"Then, let's start the celebration of our Hestia Familia's move to a new home!"

After confirming that this place was indeed very good, Wang Xiaoming didn't care what kind of murder had happened here. People die in Orario every day, this little thing is nothing at all, and he directly took Hestia to find the Ganesha Familia, paid the money, and took down the land deed here.

Although the Ganesha Familia is not the strongest Familia in Orario, it is one of the largest and even the most prestigious Familias in Orario, because in addition to exploring the dungeon, their Familia has also been responsible for maintaining the safety of the entire Orario, which is equivalent to Orario's city management, so the land deed has always been kept with them.

After trading the land deed from Ganesha, this place completely belonged to the Hestia Familia. Of course, as a price, Wang Xiaoming emptied all of his savings.

95% of the falis he had saved from selling magic stones before were directly handed over, leaving only some to maintain daily life, but this was not a big problem. As long as he went to the dungeon once, there would soon be enough money flowing back. As long as he was willing to work hard, he would never be short of money!

Wang Xiaoming, Saeko, and Hestia, who had obtained the new residence, worked together to clean and scrub the residence, and then rearranged all the furniture that had been brought out from the original basement. After completing the arrangement, they began the celebration.

Hestia also invited Takemikazuchi, the non-charging real estate agent who brought her to see the house, Miach, who lived just down the street, and Hephaestus, who had been coming along all the time, three gods together to participate in the celebration.

With a new Familia residence, and on the first day of moving into a new home, naturally, they wouldn't make a special trip to The Benevolent Mistress to celebrate.

And the person responsible for providing the celebration service naturally became Wang Xiaoming.

Hestia, as the head god, greeted her divine friends in the living room, while Wang Xiaoming and Ayako were busy in the new kitchen. Wang Xiaoming was the head chef, and Ayako was responsible for assisting. In the Apocalypse world, Ayako had always been responsible for cooking, but back in the Danmachi world, the head chef became Wang Xiaoming.

The dishes made by Wang Xiaoming, who possessed the strongest skills on the Qingqing Grassland, made Tokishima Ayako willingly admit defeat, and then willingly assist Wang Xiaoming.

At the same time, she secretly vowed in her heart that as a woman of the Tokishima family, how could she always let her husband, the head of the family, stay in the kitchen? She must work hard to improve herself and then completely take over the kitchen!

Wang Xiaoming and Tokishima Ayako were constantly striving in the kitchen. Wang Xiaoming made the dishes, and then Tokishima Ayako brought them out for the four gods to enjoy. In Hestia Familia's small Familia residence, the gathering of the four gods became a small divine meeting. Takemikazuchi and Miach rarely ate so comfortably and were especially happy. Hestia, as the host, was naturally very happy, only Hephaestus, who was ostensibly happy, but in reality, every time Tokishima Ayako brought out a plate, she couldn't help but glance at Tokishima Ayako.

Hephaestus, who had something on her mind, was really too difficult.

After eating and drinking with Hestia for a while, Hephaestus let Hestia, Takemikazuchi, and Miach play, while she secretly ran to the door of the kitchen, poked her head into the kitchen, and secretly observed .jpg

What Hephaestus saw was Wang Xiaoming making dishes there, and Tokishima Ayako watching from the side. Moreover, Tokishima Ayako would occasionally step forward to lend a hand, or Wang Xiaoming would directly teach Ayako some details hand-in-hand. No matter how you looked at it, it was a display of affection between loving couples.

"That bastard!"

Hephaestus couldn't help but grip the door frame with force, even denting the wooden door frame.

On the street, he dared to hold hands with Tokishima Ayako directly in Hestia's blind spot. In the new residence, he took the opportunity of cooking in the kitchen to be lovey-dovey. Did he even have Hestia in his eyes!

Looking back and seeing that Hestia was still happily talking to Miach and Takemikazuchi, Hephaestus took a deep breath and then walked directly into the kitchen.

"Cough cough—"

Hephaestus, who entered the kitchen, used a cough to signal her presence, which made Wang Xiaoming and Tokishima Ayako, who were intimately teaching each other how to cook, quickly separate.

"Goddess Hephaestus, why are you here?"

Seeing that it was Hephaestus, Wang Xiaoming was a little puzzled. Why did this god run to the kitchen instead of drinking in the living room?

"What, can't I come?"

Hephaestus's tone didn't sound too good. She walked into the kitchen with her arms crossed and a sneer on her face.

"Little Ming, I have to say, to some extent, I admire you very much."

"Admire me?"

"That's right, you were able to achieve this level in such a short time, which I didn't expect."

Wang Xiaoming was a little puzzled. What was she talking about? He could tell that Hephaestus's tone was a little strange, and looking at the smile on Hephaestus's face, he roughly guessed that this Goddess Hephaestus was a little jealous? This made Wang Xiaoming feel a little amused and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's nothing, I actually wanted to do this for a long time, and it just so happened that I was lucky."

He wasn't afraid of saying the wrong thing. He had been in contact with Hephaestus several times, and he knew that Hephaestus was a very easy-going god. She probably just wanted to say a few words, or she had just been shown off by the inflated Hestia outside.

But the whole god of Hephaestus was stunned. What the hell, you guy wanted to do this for a long time? What kind of thoughts are you harboring when you approach Hestia!

And luck, indeed, you dog thing, your luck is indeed good. You even dare to make small movements with your right hand behind Hestia's back, but Hestia didn't even see it!

"After all, we also have to live a good life."

As he said that, Wang Xiaoming also looked at Tokishima Ayako next to him, and received a smiling nod from Tokishima Ayako. As a member of the Familia, Tokishima Ayako agreed with his statement.

Damn it, you two dog men and women, you even dare to flirt with each other in front of me like this, too arrogant!

Hephaestus couldn't wait to pick up her iron-forging hammer and give them each a hit, but now she couldn't make too much noise, and she had already made up her mind to keep this secret.

Under the anger, Hephaestus could only show the smile that she thought was terrifying.

"I look forward to your good days, I will always watch you closely, you must live a good life for me!"

If you dare to let Hestia know and make her sad, I will definitely make you pay the price!

After saying that, Hephaestus turned and left the kitchen, leaving behind Wang Xiaoming and Tokishima Ayako with smiles on their faces.

Looking at Hephaestus's leaving back, Wang Xiaoming was also very pleased when he thought of Hephaestus's blessing just now.

"Goddess Hephaestus is really a good friend of Hestia."

60. Is a Man the Next 18 Layers

[Ideal City]

Although it was just a small villa with a yard, as a Familia's residence, it naturally had to have its own name, so Wang Xiaoming, as the Familia leader, named this small yard [Ideal City].

As for why it was this name, it was because Wang Xiaoming was reminiscing about his past. As a master who could no longer save human reason, Wang Xiaoming liked Mash very much, especially Mash's voice that broke when she said lordCamelot.

So, when will Banana be reprinted!

Okay, let's not think about whether a certain destruction god will be reprinted for now. At this time, Wang Xiaoming was hanging the Familia's symbol on the gate of the villa.

Each Familia would have its own symbol. For example, Freya Familia's emblem was a Valkyrie's profile with gold jewelry plated around it, Loki Familia's emblem was a clown mask, and Hestia Familia's emblem was the fire representing Hestia, wrapped around the sword symbolizing Wang Xiaoming.

Hanging the emblem that he had made overnight last night on the door, Wang Xiaoming took a few steps back, directly to the gate of the yard, and looked up at the whole building as a whole, couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Unknowingly, three months had passed since he traveled through the world. From cautiously hiding at the beginning, to directly finding Hestia after having skills, and now he has upgraded to LV2, and brought back a new wife, and has a new residence, his days in this sword and magic otherworld are getting better and better.

However, he also understood that this was just the beginning, and there was still a long way to go.

Reaching out and touching the Familia emblem on the door, Wang Xiaoming pushed the door open and walked into the Familia.

"My lord, I have already prepared your lunch for you."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tokishima Ayako handing over a bento.

"Thank you, Ayako."

Reaching out to take the bento from Ayako's hand, and then throwing it into his space pocket, although there were still a lot of living supplies hidden in the space pocket that he had salvaged from the Highschool of the Dead world, Wang Xiaoming still wanted to eat something good. The food made by his wife and the food salvaged from the convenience store naturally could not be compared together.

After saying that, Wang Xiaoming turned around and stretched out his hands to the side.

"Ohto~~"

A white figure jumped down directly from the stairs, turned around in mid-air, and landed accurately on Wang Xiaoming's outstretched hands, even wrapping his arms around Wang Xiaoming's neck.

"Good morning, My lord!"

"Good morning, Hestia."

"My lord, are you planning to go out?"

"Yes, I went to the dungeon with Ayako before, and I let Ayako do all the work at that time, so today I let Ayako rest at home and accompany Hestia at home. I will go to the dungeon alone. This time, I want to see other things."

"Oh, then My lord, you must be careful!"

Hestia knew Wang Xiaoming's ability, but concern was still necessary.

"Don't worry, I will still come back before dinner as before."
