Stella wasn't someone who was pretentious to begin with, so she quickly recovered. It would be more accurate to say that she was now full of fighting spirit, single-mindedly wanting to become stronger and catch up to Drake.
What else could Drake say? Of course, he would support his girlfriend. However, Drake wouldn't stop in place and wait for her. That wouldn't make Stella happy.
Stella had been curious about the Dungeon for a long time, but there were still some preparations to be made before going there.
Although Stella's ability values were completely clean, her own qualities were in no way inferior to a LV7 adventurer.
To be honest, it was questionable whether Ottar, the strongest in Orario right now, could win against Stella.
So Drake could already imagine how difficult it would be for Stella to obtain experience and feats. He might have to use the suppression methods that Drake had used.
Even so, it would still take some effort to level up. The two would probably have to go on an expedition to meet the intensity of training.
So they had to stock up on enough supplies before setting off. Both of them had unique Devices, so they didn't need to worry about equipment.
However, consumables such as food, drinking water, and potions had to be fully prepared. Fortunately, Drake had a storage ring, otherwise just carrying Stella's food would be a great burden.
Next was taking Stella to the Guild to complete the procedures and then start shopping.
The two said goodbye to Hephaestus, just as they left her room, they saw Haruhime diligently working with a broom.
Haruhime had performed brightly during the battle against the fallen spirit last time. Thanks to her magical support, Bell, who had undergone level sublimation, was able to successfully defeat the last fallen spirit.
Although she had become famous among the adventurers, Haruhime herself still preferred to work as a maid in the Hephaestus Familia.
Seeing Drake, Haruhime's eyes lit up, quickly walking over, saying, "Drake, you're back!"
Stella revealed a suspicious expression beside Drake. Those watery eyes, that crimson face, the shyness of the girl was too suspicious!
Drake reached out, patting Haruhime's head, making the tail behind her stiffen.
"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"
Haruhime lowered her head, unable to even properly answer Drake's question for a time.
Stella stepped forward, taking Drake's hand, saying, "Drake, you haven't introduced this young lady to me yet!"
Drake quickly said, "This is Haruhime, a junior who was introduced to the Familia by me."
Haruhime quickly added, "Drake is also my savior, he's my... hero!"
'As expected, she's very suspicious!' Stella's eyebrows twitched, subconsciously feeling that something was bad!
Drake smiled, then saying, "As for this one, this is Stella, who just joined the Familia today. She's my girlfriend!"
Stella held Drake's hand even tighter, as if declaring her sovereignty.
Haruhime's two ears perked up, looking at Stella seriously.
"Even so, Haruhime won't give up directly!"
Listening to Haruhime's inexplicable remarks, Drake couldn't help but be confused.
But Stella understood, saying, "Then come and try!"
A flash of lightning flashed between the two, their gazes seeming to rub out sparks.
Drake didn't understand why the introverted Haruhime was so explosive today, and he didn't understand why the two girls were so tense as soon as they met.
He could only quickly take Stella away from the mansion, walking towards the Guild.
Stella looked at Drake, sighing. Her boyfriend was really too dense in some ways. However, she didn't need to worry about Drake becoming a playboy!
After leaving the mansion, Stella's mood obviously improved, her attention being completely attracted by the surrounding scenery.
Especially after leaving the industrial area, entering the more lively and prosperous central area, Stella was even more dazzled.
Drake had no choice but to slow down his pace to cooperate with her, but they still quickly arrived at the Guild.
The Guild's work efficiency was still very high. Of course, it was also because the influence of the Hephaestus Familia was great enough, so the procedures were completed smoothly.
The two left the Guild, starting a large purchase. Drake had already prepared camping tents and cooking utensils. Drinking water could also be obtained in the Dungeon.
So what they mainly prepared was food and potions. So the process of everyone's purchase was Stella taking a fancy to something, Drake paying for it, then putting it into the storage ring.
Stella had a crepe in one hand and fried potato balls in the other, eating with great relish. Drake wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth with doting.
Stella revealed a smile, then directly putting the snacks in her hand into her mouth.
After finishing her snacks, Stella tugged on Drake's sleeve, saying, "Drake, I've noticed that the way people around us are looking at us is strange. Is Drake a famous person here?"
Drake also noticed the gazes that were faintly falling on him, nodding, saying, "That's right. My title here is Dragon Furnace. I can be considered a famous person."
Stella took Drake's hand, saying, "Then I have to work hard too! But the title Dragon Furnace feels a bit strange."
Drake smiled, saying, "I think it's fine. Lady Hephaestus has already tried hard enough to give such a relatively normal title."
Stella said with a crying face, "Then what if I get a terrible title?"
Drake smiled, saying, "Don't worry. I believe that Lady Hephaestus will definitely be able to fight for a suitable title for you."
Just as the two were talking, a delicate voice sounded.
"Ah! It's Mr. Drake."
Drake and Stella turned their heads, seeing Syr and Ryu carrying shopping bags.
Stella understood Drake the most, and was also the person closest to Drake right now, so she noticed the change in Drake in an instant.
Although he had relaxed quickly, Stella was certain that Drake had become alert for a moment.
That was definitely not a reaction from being startled by someone suddenly speaking, then the people who had appeared must be special.
However, Stella couldn't see what was so special about the two particularly beautiful girls that would make Drake have that kind of reaction.
However, Stella quickly stopped caring about this matter, because she had noticed the abnormality of the two girls.
That gray-haired girl had a mischievous look on her face, pulling the long-eared girl, who had an unwilling look on her face, towards Drake's side.
After coming to this world, Stella had also seen elves. But she still had to sigh, that elf girl with slender ears was really beautiful.
However, the problem wasn't this, but rather that the elf girl, although she had an unwilling expression on her face, hadn't stopped her feet from approaching Drake.
That shy gaze, that rosy cheek looked so familiar.
Drake greeted, saying, "It's you guys! Long time no see. Stella, let me introduce you. These two are Syr and Ryu. They're waitresses at the Hostess of Fertility, and also my friends.
That's a pretty great store. Let's go there for dinner later!"
"Friends, huh?"
Stella's tone was strange. There were juniors and friends again. Did her boyfriend have too much peach blossom in this world!
There was a modification in the previous chapter, adding a skill to Stella.
