Unlike the naive Bell who was easily fooled by Gao Muming, Lily did not believe Gao Muming's words. After all, God can easily see through human lies.

Lily, who had witnessed the evil of human nature, subconsciously thought that Gao Muming was planning to take the man to the dungeon and kill him to silence him when she heard Gao Muming say this. Therefore, Lily looked at Gao Muming with fear in her eyes.

Looking at the frightened expression on Lily's face in Bell's arms, Gao Muming knew that she was thinking wrongly. Looking at her delicate little face with some fear, Gao Muming suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing Lily. He knocked Ganu out in his hand and threw him on the ground and came to Lily's side.

Where Bell couldn't see, Gao Muming bent down and approached Lily. With a wicked smile on his lips, he leaned close to Lily's ear with a gloomy face and spoke softly.

"From the look of you, you have guessed my plan. I was thinking of letting you go because you looked so pitiful. Really, why are you so smart, kid?"

As Gao Muming spoke, he slowly stretched out his empty hand towards Lily. Lily looked at the hand getting closer and closer and tears began to well up in her eyes. Just as she was shaking and closing her eyes, ready to wait for death, she felt someone gently flick the tip of her nose.

Because the development of the matter was somewhat beyond her expectations, Lily, with a pale face, opened her eyes in confusion, and saw Gao Muming smiling with curved eyebrows.

"I just saw that you were thinking the wrong thing, so I wanted to take the opportunity to tease you. Your reaction was really interesting, just as I expected."

When Lily heard what Gao Muming said, her face turned red instantly, and her expression became vivid because of anger.

"Lily doesn't think this is funny. Don't pick on Lily. You are such a bad guy with a bad taste."

Looking at Lily's current appearance, Gao Muming nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, it still has some childishness, much better than the dead feeling before."

After saying that, Gao Muming patted Lily's little head and walked to Ganu who had just been thrown to the ground. He stretched out his two fingers and pointed at Ganu's forehead. The mental power in his mind surged and modified Ganu's memory specifically.

Bell and Lily on the side looked at Gao Muming with some confusion as he squatted down beside the four adventurers one by one and then stood up again after a while.

"Okay, now that we're done, let's go."

Seeing Takagi Akira stand up, Bell spoke with some curiosity.

"Takagi Akira, what did you just do? Other than staying with Gerd a little longer, I didn't see anything you did."

In response to Bell's question, Akira Takagi did not keep it a secret.

"I altered their memories of tonight a little bit."

"Modify memories? You can modify memories?"

"Yes, this is just a very convenient application of the power you felt before."

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Bell didn't have much thought. Lily, who had a complicated expression on her face, showed a look of sudden realization and thought silently in her heart.

"Can you modify your memory? No wonder you can say it so openly in front of me without worrying about leaking the secret."

In the dilapidated church of Hestia's family, Hestia looked at the three people sitting in front of her with a serious expression. After listening to the three people's stories, Hestia looked at Lily, then at Gao Muming and Bell with some complexity.

After taking a deep breath, Hestia's eyes fell on Takagi Akira.

"In other words, after you knew her situation, you said you wanted to help her and brought her back?"

"Yes."

In response to Hestia's question, Takagi Akira nodded.

"I can feel that as a child she can still be saved. The education I received tells me that it is my responsibility as an adult with the ability to protect a child's future."

Bell on the side also interrupted.

"From what she said, Lord God, Lily was just as lonely and helpless as she was before you picked her up. Just like I got help from you, Lord God, I also want to help her."

"You are all serious about this."

Hestia's eyes swept back and forth between Takagi Akira and Bell. Knowing that her followers were speaking the truth, she sighed helplessly and then her eyes fell on Lily.

"Really? Why did my family's child have to meet you? Honestly, after listening to your past experiences, I can understand why you would commit various acts such as theft and fraud, but understanding does not mean that I approve of it."

"To be honest, I really don't want my children to have too much contact with guys like you, but I also understand their stubbornness. Even for a god like me, it would be difficult for them to change their decision. So I won't object to them helping you."

At this point, Hestia's voice suddenly rose.

"But! I can only help you this once, if you still don't repent."

Hestia paused, her eyes swept over Gao Muming and Bell beside her, and finally stared at Lily.

"Even if I have to use the privileges of a god, I will object to you helping her again. Is that ok?"

As soon as Hestia finished speaking, Takagi Akira agreed.

"No problem, I promise you, Goddess Hestia. This is what I think as well. For a child who has understood the situation and knows how to repent, one chance is enough. As for those who refuse to change after repeated admonitions, it is not worth our efforts to spend more energy on them."

Unlike Takagi Akira, Bell just kept hesitating and didn't express his opinion. Hestia, who understood the personality of her own family, sighed softly.

"Bell-kun, I understand your thoughts."

As she spoke, Hestia looked at Lily with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, as if she was looking at a gangster who had led her most obedient child astray.

"But then again, we have been talking to each other for so long, and the most important person who is about to be helped has not expressed anything yet. What do you think of my child saying that he wants to help you?"

Ever since Lily heard Hestia say that Takagi Akira and Bell sincerely wanted to help her, she had been unable to believe what she heard. Thinking back to her grandparents who had sincerely taken her in but were implicated by her, Lily's heart, blinded by hatred, began to tremble again.

"I don't believe... adventurers... sincerely helping... Lily... or anything like that. You will definitely abandon Lily like everyone else in the end."

Looking at the broken-hearted girl in front of her, Hestia, as the guardian of the hearth who could easily see through a child's nature, couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She stepped forward, hugged the trembling Lily, and patted her back gently.

When Hestia hugged Lily, Lily's body stiffened for a moment as she once again felt the warmth of the god.
