Ezra awoke in an alley. Unsure where he is. But glad that he has his clothes on. Now if i died. Where am I, Heaven? No, this alley is dirty and my stomach is hungry.
As he thought about it his stomach growled. {growllll}
Man, i need some food and maybe answers but got no dimma dollars. So got out of the alley and his eyes widened like a child eating its first sweet.
There's elves and fantasy races like dwarves. They kinda look like adventures. Wait a minute. Ezra found a possible outcome to his answer to where he is.
I may have reincarnated. But now where? Re:zero?
No this doesn't look like Luginica. So then where am I?
To his sense of hearing. He heard a woman's voice. "Get your jagamarukun here." He sees a woman and a man.
The man that looks like those Japanese high class but from noble houses.
As for the woman. Having a short stature but having a ribbon on her white dress holding her breast that does not fit her height. In a sense a shortstack. Blue eyes and black hair. Where have I heard her voice before?
He recalled his memories of a certain anime. Oh shit I'm in danmachi and that's Hestia!
… I still don't have money for food. As he thought of making money.
I can be an adventurer and save enough money. I can make a restaurant and a clothing store. Yes, that's the only way.
He made his mind up. In order to get Hestia's attention. I have to ask her where the adventurer guild is. From there improvise it.
Or just talk to her like a normal conversation unless she says she is a goddess. I'm a genius.
He was not a genius. Just a man in a world that will find him amusing.
Operation: I need to get adopted.

"Hello miss?" Alright be cool be cool. She is kinda cute like someone you want to hold hands on a date. Ugh down lewd thoughts. No hand holding tonight.
"Hello dear customer. Want to have a taste for this delicious jagamarukun?" I don't want to say no to her or my stomach.
Ezra's words were being thought in his head but his lips decided to speak for him.
"Maybe later, I'm kinda broke and desperately need directions to the adventurer's guild." …. Fuck thats too casual. Wait a minute. I have an idea, be myself.
For once Ezra had the brightest idea only to be shot by himself. Did I touch grass?
"Are you looking for a familia?" She asked a little too desperately. Did bell not come here yet?
"Yeah, I kinda need to live and well i dont think other familias are going to accept a broke guy like me." A lot of familias did reject bell. Or more the members of the familias and not the gods per se.
"This is my lucky day …" She spoke her internal outloud and made her embarrassed.
"Sorry about that. I'm actually a Goddess. I recently came down from Heaven. My name Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth, Home, Hospitality and Keeper of the Divine Fire."
Huh didn't think she would introduce herself like that. I may have to free ball it here. My knowledge of Danmachi and fanfics might help or not.
"Hello Hestia-sama. My name is Ezra Bridger. Would it be okay for you to accept me into your familia?" To his answer before she could say yes. Hestia gave him the biggest smile. A child likes a wonderful smile.
"Yes Yes Yes. I mean. I would gladly accept you into my familia." But she had her doubts. Would Ezra leave like the rest?
"Are you okay being my first child I would take into my familia." Right she had many other candidates leave cause she was broke too.
"Hey cheer up Hestia-sama. Birds of the feather flock together, no?" Hestia did not understand the metaphor.
"In what way are we flocking together?" But her answer was in plain view.
Both of them were broke. "Im assuming both us are broke."
"Eh?" Hestia was broken by his audacity of telling her that she was broke.
