Lily, whose emotions fluctuated greatly in a short period of time, fell asleep under Hestia's regular pats on her back.

After gently carrying Lily to the sofa and taking out a blanket from the side to cover her, Hestia rubbed her belly and turned to look at Bell.

"I'm a little hungry and want to eat the meal of the Mistress of Plenty. Bell-kun, go and buy some delicious food."

"Okay, Lord God, I'll go now and be back soon."

Bell ran out immediately after receiving the order.

Watching Bell leave with a somewhat loving look, Hestia turned her gaze to Takagi Akira and her expression became somewhat serious.

"Now that Bell has been sent away, let's have a good discussion, Gao Muming."

"It's fine if Bell doesn't know. You know the current debt situation of our clan. In addition, you have to go to Hephaestus to study every day. You should know that you don't have the energy to help the child now."

Hearing Hestia's words, Takagi Akira nodded in admiration.

"I also know that I can't spare much energy to help her."

Having said that, Gao Muming changed the subject and continued speaking.

"But for her, who is just one step away from falling into the abyss, any little help is very important, and this kind of help is just a small favor for me."

Hestia did not refute after hearing what Takagi Akira said.

"By the way, how do you plan to help that child? Giving it directly to Farley or something like that, not to mention that we don't have that much money, and even if we really give it to her directly, it will only end up doing more harm than good."

"I know that's human nature. Most of the time, things that are too easy to get are not taken seriously."

"I helped her just to let that child who had fully realized the evil in human hearts and no longer trusted others know that human hearts were not what she saw, and there were still people in this world who were trustworthy."

"As for the specific method of helping her, I plan to take her to explore the dungeon every night after returning from a day of learning forging techniques from the Hephaestus Familia."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Hestia frowned.

"Going to Hephaestus to learn forging techniques is a physically demanding job. You actually plan to drag your exhausted body and take that child who has almost no fighting power to the dungeon after finishing the job? Even if it's you, your body can't handle this, right?"

"Please rest assured that I won't force myself. Besides, we have more help than just one person in this bureau. We also have Bell."

"I'm not worried about you, but Bell is too naive. I'm a little worried that he might be deceived and hurt by that kid."

Hestia said this with a worried look on her face.

Takagi Akira on the side comforted Hestia.

"I think if Lily and Bell act together, it will be a very beneficial experience for Bell, who has just become an adventurer without a guide."

"Unlike Bell and I, who became adventurers later in life, that kid became an adventurer very early on."

"As a veteran who has been in the dungeon for many years, she has a serious lack of combat power. After deceiving and stealing, she has to escape from the depths of the dungeon alone. This means that Lily is experienced and knows how to walk safely in the dungeon, and these experiences are what Bell lacks."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, the corners of Hestia's mouth rose slightly.

"From this perspective, helping Lily is a win-win situation."

Soon, Bell came back with a pile of food. After reserving a portion for Lily, the two of them began to feast on the food.

When Lily woke up from hunger, she saw a portion of food in front of her. With tears in her eyes, Lily looked at Bell and Hestia who were dreaming. She silently said thank you in her heart, then picked up the food and started to eat it voraciously.

The next morning, when Gao Muming was tending to the vegetable garden, Lily walked out of the basement.

Looking at Gao Muming working on the land, Lily showed a look of surprise on her face.

After all, in Lily's impression, any adventurer with a little bit of strength would not engage in farming. After all, they could earn more by killing more monsters in the dungeon.

"Lily, you came at the right time. I have something to confirm with you about asking you to take responsibility."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Lily walked over very obediently.

"Although I am helping you, I don't intend to let you get something for nothing. When I come back tonight, I will take you as a supporter to the dungeon to kill monsters, and we will split the dropped items 50-50."

"Fifty-fifty split? Will you really give Lily that much?"

"Of course, but there is a small premise."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Lily snorted in her heart without showing it on her face.

"As expected, all adventurers are the same. They are exposed after only one night here."

Just as Lily was thinking this, Gao Muming's next words made Lily a little confused for a moment.

"That is, during the day, you need to list all the victims you stole from, the adventurers who have not done anything bad to you, and the things you stole from them, and find a time to compensate them. Is that okay?"

When Lily heard Gao Muming's question, she reacted and nodded quickly.

"Lily knows."

In the evening, Gao Muming, who had returned from the Hephaestus clan, once again found Lily. Looking at the pitifully short list in Lily's hand, Gao Muming didn't know what to say for a moment and looked at Lily in disbelief.

"There are only a few adventurers?"

"I don't know whether to say you have bad luck or good luck. It turns out that most of the level 1 adventurers you have met in recent years are scum."

"Sure enough, those guys who have been adventurers for many years but still can't reach level 2, there is a reason why they can't level up."

Takagi Akira subconsciously exerted force on the hand holding the list.

"Because of the gods, the threshold for gaining power has become very low, causing any idiot to become an adventurer."

"It must be said that the era when the gods descended is both the best and the worst era for us humans."

After having dinner with Hestia, Gao Muming took Lily to the ninth floor as if he was familiar with the place.

Just when Lily thought that Gao Muming would continue to move to the tenth floor, Gao Muming took Lily to the corner of the ninth floor and quickly dealt with several killer ants.

Just when Lily was about to pick up the magic stones dropped by the killer ants, she discovered that Gao Muming had not killed all the killer ants.

Lily noticed this and quickly turned to look at Gao Muming.

"Master Akira Takagi, there are still two killer ants that have not been killed."
