They returned to the dilapidated church where the family was, and even though they had wasted some time at the Tower of Babel and the guild because of their encounter with the Minotaur, Gao Muming and Bell still returned earlier than Hestia who was doing odd jobs outside.

Gao Muming plunged into his thriving small vegetable garden to water and weed, while Bell sat on a chair nearby with a silly smile on his face.

As the sun began to set, just as Gao Muming was about to prepare dinner, Hestia pushed open the door with a handbag in her hand and a happy face.

After seeing Bell sitting not far away with a silly smile on his face, Hestia put one hand on her waist and raised her handbag to her chest with the other hand.

"Today is my treat. Let's have a potato ball dinner."

"I'm sorry for your expense, Goddess Hestia."

"It didn't cost me anything. This is a gift from the boss because I made a great contribution to the stall."

Hestia said as she looked around at Takagi Akira and Bell with some confusion.

"By the way, why did you two come back so early today?"

Hearing Hestia's question, Bell spoke very honestly.

"Because I was chased by the Minotaur in the dungeon and almost died, so I came back early."

When Hestia heard Bell say that two people almost died, she subconsciously looked at Gao Muming with an inquiring look. After seeing Gao Muming shake his head slightly, Hestia's heart was relieved.

After the three of them had a happy meal, they began the routine of updating their ability values.

Takagi Akira, who was more capable than Bell, walked into the basement and saw Hestia sitting there with a sullen expression and her mouth pouted.

"It seems that Bell awakened this skill because he admired Ais just like in the original story."

Thinking this, Gao Muming walked to the side of Hestia.

After watching Gao Muming come over and lie down, Hestia spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"I heard from Bell what happened. You were just paddling the whole time when facing the Minotaur. If you hadn't stood idly by, Bell wouldn't have been deceived by Warren from Loki's family."

"I saw that Bale was very brave and wanted to cover the rear alone, so I wanted to give him a chance to perform, but I didn't expect that he would only be brave for a moment."

Hestia frowned at Takagi Akira's explanation.

"Are you reliable or not? How do you expect Bell, a novice adventurer, to fight against a Level 2 Minotaur?"

"I originally thought that since I was there to back him up, he would be fine. When he fought hard, his abilities would be greatly improved, which was something that could only be encountered by chance. So I specifically pierced one of the Minotaur's eyes and the joint of one of its arms."

"As long as Bell and I work together to find a way to destroy the Minotaur's other eye, even if we can't kill it, we can still evacuate calmly and gain a lot of experience points. But Bell was so scared that he ran for his life the whole time."

"So I hid behind him and protected him secretly. I was a little disappointed with Bell's performance this time. After falling into a dangerous situation where he was sure to die, he didn't even want to resist and just acted like a quail."

As he spoke, Gao Muming's face showed a hint of disappointment.

"Goddess Hestia, I can only say that Bell is not yet prepared to realize that as an adventurer he will die during his exploration."

Hearing what Takagi Akira said, Hestia showed a look of realization.

"I finally understand why your skill can awaken the effect of 'Desperate Explosion'."

"Your awareness of adventure is very different from that of today's adventurers. It is very similar to the heroes recorded in the heroic stories before the gods appeared in the world."

Hearing Hestia's praise, Takagi Akira shook his head slightly.

"I'm just an ordinary person who is a little bit unwilling to admit defeat. I can't be compared with those legendary heroes."

The next morning, Gao Muming, who was working in the vegetable garden, saw Bell walking out of the basement with a red face.

"What happened, Bell? You look so red. Did you dream about Miss Essie Wallenstein?"

Hearing Gao Muming's teasing, Bell blushed and explained.

"When I woke up in the morning, the Lord God inexplicably ran from the bed to the sofa where I slept."

"I see."

Recalling the proud "human heart" of Goddess Hestia, Gao Muming showed Bell a lewd expression that all men understand.

"Well, I'm going to buy breakfast."

Bell's face turned red with anger at Takagi Akira's teasing expression, and he left in a hurry after leaving a word.

Not long after, just when Gao Muming was wondering why Bell had been out for so long and had not come back, Bell came back with breakfast in one hand and a lunch box in the other.

When Takagi Akira saw the lunch box in Bell's hand, his eyes twitched and he understood.

"Bell finally met Seele, who was transformed by Freya. This means that our Hestia family has completely entered Freya's sight."

"There are only two of us in our clan, but we can both interest Freya. We can no longer expect Freya to be patient and not do anything. Our future life is doomed to be uneasy. We can't be so leisurely anymore. Improving our abilities is urgent."

That evening, after a day of adventure, I accompanied Bell on the journey back to the base.

Looking at Bell beside him, Gao Muming recalled Bell's performance in the battle in the dungeon and couldn't help but frowned.

"When I see a monster, I would observe it carefully at first, but now I just imagine it in my mind and rush forward with a red face."

"Although Bell's ability gain speed has made a qualitative leap because of his single-minded admiration, I always feel that Bell's field of vision in battle is becoming narrower and narrower."

"This should also be due to me. After all, there is a big difference between Bell exploring alone and having someone to help observe the surroundings."

After updating his ability values, Bell couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he saw the huge increase in his values.

Seeing Bell's tremendous growth due to his love for Loki's Familiar Ais Wallenstein, Hestia felt a little upset.

After helping Takagi Akira update his stats, Hestia sighed in her heart when she saw that the total increase in Takagi Akira's ability values ​​was less than one-third of Bell's. Although she knew that it was normal for Takagi Akira to have little experience as a supporter, Hestia still sighed in her heart.

"They all have skills that increase their ability points. Takagi Akira's is so much lower than Bell's. I feel depressed when I think about my child having such a huge improvement just because he loves someone from another clan."

Hestia had no appetite for dinner and just wanted to go out for a walk alone to relax. However, she was grabbed by Gao Muming as soon as she left the church.
