"The old couple who once took in Eode had been putting some faris in front of the store every day for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, it was Eode who put it there."

"He has a look that hates everything in the world, but he still does this. I really want to see what Ede looks like after he has completely fallen."

Full of malice, Chanis recalled his accidental discovery and made a silent decision in his heart.

"We can try to 'invite' the old couple to our Soma clan, and then spread the rumor in Orario that they are here to visit Ede."

"I believe that after knowing the situation, Erde will take the initiative to return to our Soma clan."

Thinking this, Chanis left the Soma clan's residence and walked towards the flower shop owned by the old couple who had once taken in Lily.

……

Lily, who had been exploring the dungeon with Bell carrying a big bag for a while, was somewhat surprised to see Bell killing the monsters that appeared one by one very easily.

"What a high efficiency in killing monsters. When I saw Master Bell sparring with Master Takagi Akira last night, Master Takagi Akira was completely powerless to fight back. I thought Master Bell was just a novice."

"Based on the current efficiency, Lord Bell's efficiency in killing monsters is not much different from the five-person adventure team I once formed. In fact, it is even more efficient than the five-person team."

"Sure enough, there is a reason why Lord Bell and Lord Takagi Akira became the first followers of the goddess Hestia. Both of them are very strong."

While Lily was distracted, Bell easily dealt with the monsters that appeared.

Putting away his weapon, Bell looked at Lily who was a little dazed.

"Lily, you can start picking up the dropped materials and magic stones. We can have lunch when you are done."

"no problem."

Lily, who was called back to her senses by Bell, agreed while taking action.

After Lily and Bell returned to the guild from the dungeon with great success, when they passed by the guild's bulletin board, Lily, who was smiling widely because of her success, froze after taking a look at the bulletin board.

"What happened to Lily?"

Seeing that something was wrong with Lily, Bell, who was a little curious, went over and saw a message from the Soma clan.

"To Lilyluka Erd

The old couple who once took good care of you have come to visit you in the clan. We are entertaining them. In order not to disappoint them, please return to the clan as soon as possible after seeing this message."

After reading the message on the bulletin board, Bell looked at Lily somewhat bewilderedly.

At this moment, Lily clenched her hands and bit her lower lip tightly.

"Those two old men were dragged into this because of Lily. Why, why would everyone in the Soma clan want to cause trouble for those two old men because of Lily at this time?"

Seeing Lily's body shaking with fear and anger, Bell knew that he couldn't just leave Lily alone, so he pulled Lily out of the guild hall.

Later in the evening, on the way back from Hephaestus's workshop, Gao Muming did not see any members of the Soma clan, just like in the morning. Wondering whether the Soma clan was up to something bad, he returned to his own clan's residence.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw three people sitting in front of the table with extremely ugly expressions. Feeling the low pressure on them, Gao Muming suddenly had a feeling that something was wrong and something had happened.

"What happened?"

"Takagi Akira, you're finally back. This is about Lily."

Hearing that Hestia's tone was rarely filled with anger, Gao Muming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"What immoral thing did the adventurers of the Soma clan do? Even the gentle Goddess Hestia was angered."

When Gao Muming asked this, the faces of the people present changed, and it was Lily who took the initiative to step forward.

"Let's talk about it, Lily. Today, when Lily and Master Bell were returning to the guild with the harvest from the dungeon, they saw the message from the Soma clan on the bulletin board."

"The message is very clear. They tied up the grandfather and grandmother who had taken care of Lily and took them to the Soma clan, threatening Lily to return to the Soma clan on her own initiative, otherwise they would attack the grandfather and the others."

"On the way back, Lily went to the flower shop run by Grandpa and his friends to check. This morning, an adventurer with the Soma clan symbol tattooed on his clothes took Grandpa and his friends away."

After learning about the situation, Gao Muming was so angry at the behavior of the Soma clan that he punched a hole in the wall.

"The Soma clan, what a Soma clan! They really gave me a vivid lesson."

While being angry at the actions of the Soma clan, Gao Muming also felt somewhat regretful for being so careless.

"Although I have thought about many possible actions that the Soma clan might take and made some arrangements overnight, I didn't expect that reality would still give me a loud slap in the face."

"Because Lily no longer has any close friends who are adventurers, I never thought that the people of the Soma clan would capture someone related to Lily to threaten her."

"But when I think about it being done by the Soma clan, I'm not surprised. When I think about it carefully, the adventurer who robbed ordinary people was also a member of the Soma clan."

"I really overestimated the integrity of the Soma clan adventurers. Those guys actually dragged in ordinary people who had never received any favors once again."

Hestia on the side echoed.

"I am really a little angry. What on earth is Su Mo doing? Allowing his own family to do such a thing."

After complaining, Hestia continued speaking.

"Before you came back, a few of us discussed whether the Soma clan would release the people if they couldn't wait for Lily. The conclusion we came to was that they wouldn't, and the later Lily returned, the more torture the old couple would suffer."

"Lily has already hurt them once. No matter what, we cannot let them get hurt again because of Lily."

"So later, Lily will make up a reasonable excuse as planned before, and return to the Soma clan with Lord Bell's dagger engraved with the inscription of Hephaestus, and replace Grandpa and the others."

Lily said as tears fell from her eyes.

"Master Gao Muming, Lily has no one else to turn to. Can you please come and rescue Lily after you confirm that Grandpa and the others have left the Soma clan safely?"

"Lily doesn't want to stay in that kind of family any longer."

Gao Muming raised his hand and rubbed Lily's head.

"No problem, just leave this matter to me and Goddess Hestia."

Hestia on the side also expressed her opinion.

"That's right, don't worry, I will give Su Mo a good lecture."

As he spoke, Gao Muming looked at Bell, who was worried that he would be a drag and was a little insecure, and he understood and spoke slowly.

"Bell, you haven't completed your special training for fighting against humans yet, so why don't you just not come along this time."
