"I do know that when I came back from Hephaestus's workshop, I noticed a lot of unusual behavior from the Soma clan adventurers, so I did some investigations."

Akira Takagi nodded at Hestia.

"But I don't think it's a big problem now."

As for the Soma clan's search for Lily, Gao Muming expressed his guess without being particularly concerned.

"Given the extremely violent tempers of the Soma clan adventurers, even if we let them act freely in Orario, they will cause too much trouble and be warned by the guild and other clans in a few days."

"So Lily just needs to hide here for two or three days until the storm has passed. After that, we will help her save enough money to leave the group and take her to the Soma clan to leave the group."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Hestia looked at Gao Muming with a somewhat complicated look, and then sighed.

"Takagi Akira, after spending so much time with you, I've become very curious about what the country you once lived in was like. Judging from the common sense mistakes you often make, you have no idea about gods, magic, grace, or anything like that. It's as if the country you once lived in didn't have these things at all."

After hearing what Hestia said, Gao Muming was stunned for a moment and asked back unconsciously.

“I often make some common sense mistakes?”

Hestia nodded.

"Yes, that's true. Just like now, you seem to think that as long as Lily hides in our clan's residence and doesn't go out, she won't be found, but in fact, it is very easy to find someone in Orario through magic."

"Even without using magic, as the chief deity of the clan, I can use the grace I bestow upon my clan to roughly sense the location and life status of my clan."

"And you are wrong to think that the Guild will reprimand the Soma Familia and order them to stop their actions. The Familia has absolute rights over their members."

"If the Soma clan claims that their member Lily has disappeared because she was brainwashed and kidnapped, the guild will not stop the Soma clan's actions but will help them find Lily to a certain extent."

Hearing Hestia say this, Takagi Akira couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Is my idea wrong? I was thinking of delaying it long enough to help Lily save enough money to quit the group, but now it seems that this idea is very problematic."

"Since the clan has strong control over its members, as long as the leader of the Soma clan, Chanis, has not given up the idea of ​​using Lily, even if Lily has saved enough money to leave the clan, she will not be able to leave the clan because she cannot communicate directly with the Soma God."

"What's worse is that according to the current situation, there is a high probability that we will come into direct conflict with the Soma clan before we can save enough money for Lily."

"That is to say, if we want to help Lily, we must confront the Soma clan under Chanis' control head-on no matter what."

Just when Takagi Akira was feeling a headache when he thought about the news he had ignored, a strange expression appeared on Hestia's face.

"To be honest, I'm a little confused as to why the adventurers from the Soma clan are looking for Lily all over Orario. They only need to search within the range that Soma told them to."

Hearing Hestia's doubts, Gao Muming directly stated his guess.

"If I'm not mistaken, the idea of ​​looking for Lily was not instructed by the Soma God but the idea of ​​the Soma clan's high-ranking officials themselves."

"Now is not the time to think about who gave the order. We must prepare for war with the Soma clan."

Hestia didn't care much about Gao Muming's guess, but was very concerned about what would happen next.

"As long as people find out that Lily is hiding in our clan, the Soma clan will have ample reason to go to war with us."

At this point, Hestia had a very serious expression on her face.

"As your Lord God, I sympathize with Lily, but that sympathy is not a reason to drag our clan into trouble. If we let go of Lily's affairs now, our clan still has a chance to escape."

"As your Lord God, I must confirm your thoughts once again."

"Have you made up your mind to make enemies with the Soma clan, which has a large number of clan members and several LV2 adventurers, just for Lily?"

Hearing Hestia's somewhat serious question, Gao Muming just shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed.

"Even someone as lacking in common sense as me knows that meddling in other Families' affairs without permission will cause trouble. I had already prepared for the worst before deciding to help Lily."

At this point, Gao Muming chuckled.

"Goddess Hestia, you are only here to discuss the pros and cons with me. Isn't it because you know that Bell will not give up helping Lily, and you want to confirm my thoughts again."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Hestia unconsciously turned her head away and avoided looking into Gao Muming's eyes.

"We can't help it. We only have a few people available in our clan. If we can't reach a consensus, the situation will only get worse."

At this point, Hestia sighed softly.

"Although Bell doesn't seem very reliable, even as a god I can't stop him from making his decision."

"On the contrary, although you are also very opinionated and will think carefully before making a decision, you will also change your decision according to the development of the situation. That's why I thought of communicating with you first."

"As long as the two of you agree on the decision, as your god, I will unconditionally support your choice."

"Goddess Hestia, I'm sorry that because of Bell and I's selfishness, our newly established Hestia Familia is facing such a crisis. Thank you for your understanding. Bell and I are lucky to be your Familia."

Hestia put her hands on her hips and smiled.

"I can't help it. Who made me find you two troublesome clansmen? In your words, this is also my responsibility as a god."

Just as Gao Muming and Hestia were discussing, Lily, who had heard the general idea, came straight to them.

"Lord Hestia, how did Lord Takagi Akira convince you? Didn't we agree that in order to prevent the Hestia clan and the Soma clan from fighting because of Lily, you should negotiate with Lord Takagi Akira to let Lily leave?"

Facing Lily's questioning, Hestia spread her hands helplessly.

"You can see that I tried, but I just couldn't convince Akira Takagi."

"Goddess Hestia, the Soma clan has attracted a large number of LV1 adventurers because of the 'divine wine', and there are also many LV2 members including the leader Chanis and Chandra."

"I admit that Master Takagi Akira is very strong, but at only LV1, he and Master Bell have never been able to defeat the large-scale Soma clan."
