Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

All of these properties belong to the same owner.

As for Hestia, because... well, because she's very cute and sometimes lets customers pat her head, her stall never does bad business.

On the other side... it's a bit of an eyesore.

Because a certain male god named 'Takemikazuchi', just like Hestia, wears a little 'insect antennae' ornament on his head that jiggles... Damn it, I can't look anymore.

To be honest, Takemikazuchi was one of the Gods of War in the Celestial Realm. Even though he couldn't use his 'divine power' in the mortal realm, he could still easily crush Lv.2 adventurers with his own combat skills.

But this very man is now forced to act cute alongside Hestia.

It can only be said that he was hurt, and the customers were hurt too.

Both sides suffer.

and……

“Takemikazuchi, I didn’t hire you here to rest and chat.”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"How many servings of your French fries did you sell today?"

"three……"

"Only thirty?"

"Uh~ only three portions."

"..."

The owner of these stalls, a middle-aged woman whose size was not much different from Mia's mother, walked over with her sleeves rolled up.

She launched into a tirade against Kenjiro, her finger practically poking his nose.

Unfortunately, the Martial God of the Heavenly Realm could only keep apologizing, nodding and bowing repeatedly with "Hi~ Hi~ Hi~".

Extremely humble.

All that's missing is a traditional act (dogeza).

Honestly, seeing this with my own eyes...

"This isn't a god, it's a corporate slave, a specialty of the Far East."

The white-haired boy who came here alone secretly complained to himself.

Sudden……

"Chichi~"

"Ok?"

His expression shifted slightly.

There were almost no warning signs, but his intuition told him that the area was dangerous.

next moment……

"Boom!"

An explosion suddenly occurred on the street.

"!"

"Waaah~"

With a mission at hand, 'Bennett' immediately protected Hestia as she was sent flying backward.

"Enemy attack?"

The white-haired boy held the loli goddess in his arms, looking around warily.

They almost started calling for reinforcements.

but……

Not right.

There was no response from 'hostility perception'.

It should be noted that with Ling Shu (the main body) having upgraded twice, the range of this 'hostility perception' has already expanded many times over.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to not detect the enemy's location when one's own side has already been attacked.

After all, this isn't a science fiction world, and the concept of 'beyond visual range sniping' simply doesn't exist here.

Perhaps the gods could do it.

But none of the beings in the lower realms could do it.

Gan Yu... Ling Shu hasn't drawn his secretary wife yet.

So……

"Ma-sa-ga (Could it be)..."

The white-haired boy stiffly tilted his head, looking at one of the stalls selling French fries on the street...

"..."

Good heavens, that place has been blown up.

Takemikazuchi was standing not far away, also looking shaken.

But... he was, after all, a former Martial God of the Heavenly Realm, and his skills and experience were still ingrained in his bones. He protected the shop owner.

No one else in the vicinity was injured.

The white-haired boy looked down at the little goddess in his arms...

Wow~

What's with those starry-eyed looks in your eyes?

and also……

At this moment, Hestia was still unconsciously holding a magic stone ignition device in her hand.

Okay, OK, we've found the culprit.

"The original body's memories seem to have mentioned it..."

Hestia, a cute-looking, incredibly well-endowed loli goddess, is one of the three great goddesses of the heavens.

After arriving in the lower realm, he earned the nickname "the natural disaster of North Street" in just six months.

On one occasion, she mishandled the magic stone ignition device and accidentally blew up the stall where she worked.

emotion……

"Today?"

The white-haired boy was speechless for a moment. "I just happened to arrive in time?"

"This luck is just too bad... Ugh~"

It seems, appears, seems...

Is it normal for Bennett to have bad luck?

"..."

So, should the blame for this riot be placed on Hestia or on the white-haired boy?

I'll remain silent.

The white-haired boy thought to himself.

******

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"???"

After receiving the telepathic communication from 'Bennett', Ling Shu (the real body) immediately showed an expression that looked exactly like 'a black man with a question mark.jpg'.

"Wait a minute."

His expression was strange. "Has 'Bennett' not awakened his true self's consciousness yet?"

"He didn't seem 'unfortunate' before, did he?"

To put it bluntly, if Bennett hadn't awakened his true self and was still in that 'abandoned by the world' state, why would Ling Shu have sent him to protect Hestia's divine body?

This person is probably thinking of 'killing a god'!

But now it seems...

"It must have been just that 'I' happened to be there, right? Absolutely, isn't it?"

As Ling Shu pondered these doubts, he felt a lack of confidence, almost as if he were hypnotizing himself.

Chapter 319 A Different Kind of 'Heroic Tale'

In times of glory, men held high their hopes, much like a mirage about to vanish into thin air.

In a desolate era, men are burdened with despair; their sweet dreams of the past are abruptly reversed, like the somber shadows cast by the setting sun.

People threw stones at him and shouted obscene and vulgar insults.

[His title has changed from a once highly praised and revered name to: the latecomer, the coward, the defeated.]

He is the Fool King who alone wields the 'fire'.

He was an incompetent person unexpectedly chosen by 'God' to shoulder a heavy responsibility, only to be gradually rejected by God.

He is a 'hero' whom the world no longer wishes to praise, and who is regarded as unworthy of his position.

Its name is—

……

"Epimetheus (Great Hero of the Flame Sword)?"

The boy, dressed in plain clothes with a broom tucked under his elbow, blinked his red eyes, revealing a curious look.
