(Hephaestus pov)
I swear with hestia. Did she just put falna on a child. In my office.
"Hestia, remember i told you. You gotta do it in your own territory." Why isnt she answering me?
Knock Knock
"I'm coming in." Knocking into my own office.
"Hephy?! Um remember you told me about locking falna right?" Why is she asking me that?
"You look worried. Let me guess he came with a good skill." Either that or two skills. Pretty rare.
"..."
"It's four skills hephy." What she say?!
"If i show you how to lock it. There needs to be a trade so you can learn your lesson." Even if your my friend Hestia. That doesn't allow you to freeload.
"Hephy! You're being a little rude. Does our friendship mean anything?" It does.
"It does. But not every one of us. Are like us, remember." Finally she thinks.
"Ugh, fine. State your terms." Metal hot, time to strike it.
"For a fair deal. Let me see his stats." Shouldn't be too bad.
"... Oh, okay. Here ya go." And my disappointment is immeasurable and my night is ruin. I finally got you to think,
"Just like that? Really?" I swear hestia. Next thing I know you fall in love with him.
"Hephy, you are my friend. Why wouldn't I trust you?" wholesome. Never gonna betray you my dear hesty.
"Alright, let's take a look." …
By the river of styx. The fuck are these skills?
"Hestia Vesta. Never let anyone see his stats." Time to lock these fuckers. Before I want you ms. silver back decides. Oh piece of candy.
"Honestly hestia. You got so lucky. Did you save the world in your last life?" I swear by Zeus's bs. This won't be the first time.
(ezra pov)
Oh well, what can I do? Why does hephaestus look like she wanna steal me.
I sigh and hestia speaks up. "Well, thank you for locking it up. But its time to register at the guild."
But as I turn. Hephaestus tosses a piece of paper to Hestia. "Here. its a deed to an abandoned building. I don't want you to be freeloading off of me. Unless your child learns blacksmithing with me."
Why does she want me to learn that?
It causes hestia to pause. Wait, she's actually thinking. I'm surprised. "Can I think about it, Hephy?" she responded.
"Yes, I'd rather you do than jump the gun." Oh I see sasuga hephaestus-sama. You make her think. My respects.
"Well then hestia-sama. Show time?" Always wanted to say that.
"Yes ezra, let's go before they close."
We took our time walking and talking. Honestly, if she was a girl my age. I'd marry her. And taught her how I would cook.
"Were here Ezy." NO. not the nickname.
"I rather you call bridgy than ezy. Gods no." cringe. Cringe, I say.
"Fine Fine. you win ezra." Thank gods? Let's not think about it.
"Welcome to the Adventurer's guild. My name is Rose Fannett. How can I help you?" Huh thought we get Eina. But a redhead werewolf. Redhead wins tbh. Reminds me of Blake belladonna
Hestia speaks up. "Came to register as a familia. This is my first child. My name is Hestia. Goddess Hestia" Straight to the point. Where were you in the anime girl?
"Alright. Just fill these forms. And you" Pointing at me with her pen.
"Take this form" cool. Wait i can read it. Thank whoever. I dont have to be an mc who doesnt know how to read lol.
"Thank you Ms. Fannett."
(several minutes of paperwork later.)
"Congratulations, you are now a familia. Come back tomorrow to know who your guild advisor is. Since you are a starting familia and the only member so far." Thank heavens. Bane of my existence paperwork.
"Thank you, we will see you tomorrow." I say to her, she is kinda cool.
(an hour later looking for the address on the deed.)
"Huh, an abandoned church. Neat" I wonder what i can do with my skills.
"Alright ezra since we have a roof over us. There's a skill you can summon things." Gacha time?
[Star man mode gacha.]
[hello ezra.]
She sounds like Operator 6-0 from Automata. Neat.
[Oh. A HUMAN. Oop sorry sorry.] That mightve hurted my head. If she was screaming in my ear.
[Ready to roll some gacha?]
Yes, I am ready.
[Lets go gambling.] She did not just say that.
[Gacha roll: 2 stars]
A cloak in black with a red ace. With a memo. In memory of Cayde-6.

Auto repair by excelia.
No way.
LETS GOOOOO.
[Gacha Roll: 1 star]
Nameless E-rank Sword. With a European handle. A curved hilt facing the blade. Its an arming short-sword.
Why did I expect Excalibur?
"I'm going to summon them Hestia." She looks like a child getting ice cream.
"Yay. I hope its something good." you don't even know.
In my hands are a black cloak and a sword. "Hope you weren't disappointed."
"Why would i be? Its your skill. I don't have control over it." Oh Hestia, i would conquer the world to make you happy. Shit i think im falling love
