Lin Feng knew that Hestia lived in the basement of a dilapidated church, but he didn't know the specific location, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered asking.
"Well, Hestia, if you need anything or want to visit or chat, just come to this address."
Lin Feng said, writing down the address of the house he rented a few days ago on a piece of paper he carried and handing it to Hestia.
"Residential, Residential Area?!"
Hestia hadn't been paying much attention, assuming Lin Feng and his group would live in a similar area to hers. After all, even if their adventurers grew quickly, renting a good place required a lot of Valis. How could a new Familia acquire so much Valis so quickly without doing anything illegal?
She hadn't expected them to live in a relatively upscale residential area. There were many strong Familias in Orario living there, and the area was only about a ten-minute walk from Hestia's workplace.
"That incident last time, where we were framed by those adventurers from the Apollo Familia? Little Ai and the others eliminated those rampaging monsters, and most of the money came from that."
Lin Feng's words weren't false, but their daily Valis earnings over the last few days weren't low either. After all, Hayasaka Ai and the others had grown stronger, and once they reached Level 2, they would be able to establish a firm footing in Orario.
"That bastard Apollo! I should have taught him a lesson in Heaven! He can't even manage his own kids after descending; what kind of Familia God is he?"
Although Hestia scorned the perverted God Apollo's actions, she secretly envied his Familia of one hundred people. Furthermore, the perverted God Apollo was bisexual and had even proposed to her in Heaven. Did she need to think about it? Hestia rejected him immediately.
"The Apollo Familia needs to be taught a good lesson. They almost hurt my darlings."
Hearing Hestia constantly badmouthing Apollo, Lin Feng also held a grudge. Moreover, the fame Hayasaka Ai and the others had gained in the past few days must have attracted the attention of many Gods in Orario. Open tactics were fine, but he was wary of those who resorted to covert malicious actions.
Apollo also had a very sick obsession: any adventurer he desired who rejected him would be constantly harassed, day and night, until they agreed to join his Familia. Many adventurers in the Apollo Familia now were recruited through this relentless badgering. No matter where they fled, he would send people to bother them until they agreed. Truly the pervert of perverts. It would be best if such a perverted God was kicked out of Orario quickly.
"Junior-kun, you agree, right? Once I recruit that adventurer named Lili, I'm definitely going to tell Hephaistos about it and make her regret calling me a useless idiot who can't recruit adventurers and lives off her!"
As Lin Feng was thinking about the Apollo Familia, he suddenly heard Hestia call his name. Why had she started talking about Hephaistos? Hadn't they just been discussing Apollo proposing to her?
"Yes, yes, yes. Our Hestia is the smartest and most capable."
They are both billion-year-old Gods, yet she still acts like a half-grown child competing with Hephaistos. Can't you see she's just trying to motivate you in a roundabout way, you big idiot?
"Hmph! Junior-kun, you must introduce me quickly! I can't wait!"
"You should save up some money first. You can't recruit anyone if you don't even have money to treat them to dinner."
Just as Hestia was puffing out her chest, ready to grandstand, Lin Feng looked at her smug little expression. She's so easily flattered and loses her head; how can anyone who cares about her feel reassured? A little strategic suppression was necessary. Constantly letting the big idiot Hestia get conceited wouldn't be good for the Familia's future development.
"Waaah, Junior-kun is bullying me."
Hestia glared at Lin Feng in complaint. Why did he have to crush her small moment of joy?
"Hmph, but what you said isn't entirely untrue. Honestly, I really don't have much money right now."
She then remembered that she hadn't saved much money in the ten days she had been working. She had spent most of her savings running around trying to recruit adventurers right after work. Otherwise, why would the pay for such busy work be low? She earned commission on every sale!
"Aiz, I'm telling you, don't keep staring at other people's Gods. Loki will be upset if she finds out."
Tiona continued to plead with Aiz. She had tried her best. It's all my sister's fault! We were supposed to go out today, but the moment Captain Finn casually asked her about going into the Dungeon, she abandoned Aiz and me and ran off to train with Finn and the others.That's forgetting your sister for a boy, she abandoned her own sister!
"Mmh... Loki upset? Why?"
Aiz heard Tiona's words and asked, looking confused. She didn't want to join anyone else's Familia; she simply wanted to learn how to get stronger. Was there anything wrong with that? Aiz's thoughts were simple and pure. This was because Loki and the others had protected her very well, which meant Aiz rarely encountered the dark side of Orario.
This question immediately stumped Tiona. How was she supposed to explain it? Should she explain that Loki would be jealous if Aiz went looking for another man? Then Aiz would likely ask why Loki would be jealous if she sought out that male God... this endless questioning.
"Ahem, Aiz-chan, you just need to know not to get caught. And of course, I won't allow you to leave if you're in front of me, or Riveria and Loki will punish me."
Tiona, feeling a chill under Aiz's innocent yet probing gaze, quickly gave vague advice that she hoped would satisfy everyone. The implication was that as long as no one knew about Aiz's interest in the male God, it was fine, but she definitely couldn't do it in front of Tiona.
"Oh... I understand. Thank you, Tiona."
Aiz had to put some effort into thinking, but she finally grasped the meaning behind Tiona's words and looked at her gratefully. Tiona only gave this non-advice because everyone in the Familia knew how obsessed Aiz was with getting stronger.
