Sure enough, the moment Roland finished speaking, Hestia's expression froze.
Roland was right. As soon as Hestia came back, she forgot her modesty as a virgin goddess and hugged Roland in an inappropriate way. The reason for her behavior, as if she was afraid that he would run away, was simple.
She simply wanted to recall the peace of mind that existed in her heart during the past few days, that was all.
However, there are some things that you would rather die than tell!
Hestia wanted to help Roland keep his title at the God's Assembly, but Freya gave her help instead. She couldn't even open her mouth.
After the meeting, although Hestia did not have a good impression of Freya, out of courtesy for helping her out, Hestia still found a room and stopped Freya to thank her, but she heard an unexpected answer.
"It's okay, Hestia. I didn't do this for you in the first place."
Freya looked down at Hestia and made suggestions to her in a voice that was so charming and enchanting that even for a woman it made her feel numb all over.
"However, after what happened today, you have come to realize that you can't protect him. Why don't you let me take over?"
When Hestia noticed Freya's passionate voice and intoxicated smile, she felt something was wrong and had a bad premonition in her heart, but when she actually heard it, Hestia still got furious.
"Don't even think about it! Roland is different!"
There is no god who is unaware of Freya's habits. Freya will always madly pursue heroes with brilliant souls, and then collect them until she loses interest and then abandons them. She will not even allow them to reincarnate. Being targeted by such a goddess is the worst case scenario.
In the netherworld, this hobby has become even more serious. Many of Freya's followers today were picked up by Freya and raised to play with her since childhood. No matter how many times they play this game, Freya never seems to get tired of it.
Moreover, even when she was in heaven in the past, Hestia had never seen Freya take the initiative to show such a fanatical infatuation. After all, she was the goddess of love and beauty. Driven by such charm, what could she not get?
But now Freya expressed her desire so straightforwardly, which was enough to prove Roland's excellence from another perspective.
"Of course he is different, that's why I didn't let anyone harass him, because he would be angry if he did that..."
When talking about Roland, Freya unconsciously showed a sweet smile on her face.
"Yes, that's right! Roland-kun is very reckless. You weren't there that day, so you might not have heard about it. He hopes to rule over the gods himself, rather than being their subjects. So he and you are definitely not compatible!"
After silently saying sorry to Roland in her heart, Hestia hurriedly began to exaggerate the situation, hoping to dispel Freya's thoughts.
"Isn't this better?"
Freya smiled sweetly, slowly leaned down, and whispered softly into Hestia's ear.
"This is actually more to my liking. Not to mention being dominated by him, even if I have to live like a pet just to pursue the praise of my master, abandoning all the dignity that belongs to the gods and fawning on him without limits, as long as the target is that child, I will be happy with it."
Hestia, who had been full of resentment just now, was deeply shocked by Freya's words from the heart. She looked at Freya with a very powerless expression, her face flushed, and she couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.
"You also have the smell of that child on you?"
Freya gently stroked Hestia's hair, smiled tenderly, and sniffed greedily. This action made Hestia feel like she had seen a ghost. She didn't care about anything at all and hurriedly fled from Freya's side, looking at the goddess of heaven with a perverted look.
But the other person seemed to not care about her at all. She just stood there, smiling a brilliant smile that seemed to be radiating light. With her flawless and pretty face, she looked as peaceful as the Virgin Mary.
"My hero...what else do I have to give before you can show me a little bit of kindness and love..."
Freya stretched out her fingers and tapped her lips, feeling the remaining scent from Hestia, with an unusual excitement and excitement in her eyes.
I really want to gain his love.
There is only one love in the world, a love that seems to set the world on fire.
For this, she is willing to give everything.
She could give up the dignity of a goddess or her past pride, even if she had to humble herself and not get his attention at all. But as long as he could see her feelings, even if he didn't respond, Freya would be satisfied.
Freya was immersed in fantasy, hugging her shoulders tightly with both hands, her pretty face flushed, her long beautiful legs intertwined with each other, and her face filled with an extremely happy smile.
“Gu——!”
Looking at Freya, who had already started to move as if no one was around, with tears in her eyes even though he hadn't left yet.
Hestia was shivering with a pale face. She clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound, and left here pitifully.
Even though she didn't know what a bootlicker was, Freya's sick way of playing was enough to shatter Hestia's three views.
This guy and I are definitely not in the same league, no matter in which aspect. This emotion, which could perhaps be called love, is too creepy, and it would be an insult to describe it as perverted.
Even though she was hugging Roland right now, Hestia couldn't help but shudder when she thought of that scene.
"Good boy, good boy..."
Although there was doubt in his eyes, Roland still controlled the uneasy goddess. While feeling the soft and wonderful impact that was completely inconsistent with her petite body, he asked her about what happened.
He was somewhat curious about how Hestia, the always energetic and optimistic goddess, could show such deep concern.
"Sometimes, although I know this kind of thinking is very selfish, I still hope that Roland-kun can grow up more slowly."
Hestia said in a low voice, "I know you are a hero full of possibilities, completely different from a useless god like me who only knows how to read books. It is only natural for you to leave me and go to a higher platform, but I still hope that this period of time can last a little longer."
Roland listened quietly to Hestia's sincere words, put his hand on her head, and gently touched it as if to comfort her.
"The more outstanding you are, the more people will want to snatch you away. Even Loki's airport and Freya have become so shameless..."
Hestia looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, with an unprecedented weakness in her expression.
"I'm really worried that one day you'll fall into the arms of another clan."
Freya?
When Roland heard the name, he roughly understood the whole story. He originally thought that the other party was planning to take things slowly because of the strength he had shown, but it turned out that the other party had changed his style of behavior from the very beginning.
Could it be that this guy was fascinated by the glory of human evil? If so, in the future, when the Soma clan sells wine, maybe they can make proper use of it. After all, the name Freya is still very good in bringing goods, and there is no need to pay endorsement fees...
Roland thought thoughtfully, but quickly suppressed the thought and smiled at Hestia.
"It's okay, as long as you still consider me a family member, Hestia, then I won't hurt that kindness."
To Roland, the world was quite unfamiliar.
Whether it was becoming a demon or becoming the evil of a human being, Roland adapted to their three views quite well, and sometimes seemed quite indifferent and ruthless.
After all, that world didn't even belong to him, so it was difficult for him to empathize with them. Although he didn't regard humans as mere numbers like Emiya Kiritsugu, Roland could only regard them as existence that had nothing to do with him, or as his property.
From the very beginning, he was a person who lacked a sense of security. Only by confirming and establishing the bond with one's own hands could one gain his trust.
"Besides, joining the clan once is enough."
If it wasn't for the favor, Roland wouldn't have cared about Hestia's family in the beginning. He wasn't really a native of this world, so why would he treat himself like a commodity and switch owners just to sell him at a higher price?
Even if he really converted, Roland did not intend to have any other choice except the Holy Lord's clan. What's more, although there was no basis for it, Roland had already felt that the experience of traveling through time and space would become a part of his secret language.
Just as Dio traveled around the world before starting his journey to heaven, he and Roland today both embarked on a journey in search of encounters, but Roland encountered various worlds.
Hestia did not say anything else, but just looked at Roland seriously. After confirming the authenticity of the reply, she showed a relieved expression again.
The next morning, after hugging the goddess who had been playing tricks in his arms and Esther who had quietly appeared at night and occupied his other arm, Roland called Hestia up and updated her ability values again.
Then, Hestia, who had just declared yesterday that she would never become indifferent no matter how Roland grew, opened her mouth wide again.
"Your overall ability has reached S-rank. It's only been a day. You haven't even been to the dungeon. How did you do that? Even your development ability has grown to A-rank."
Hestia looked at Roland with some confusion and couldn't help but sigh.
"Although I thought you might be buried yesterday, it seems that it is not absolute today. In front of such talent, no matter what kind of god they are, they are just accessories to your thighs. With your growth rate, I am afraid that the proficiency of all the children in Orario combined cannot be compared with yours."
"That's a bit too much praise. The growth rate of the entire Orario must be faster than mine alone. I can be sure of that."
Roland said confidently as he put on his clothes.
"Really? But with your ability value, you can consider upgrading it, as long as you accomplish the right feat."
"I know, but don't worry, there's still some time."
Roland nodded, stood up from the sofa and straightened his clothes.
"Aren't we going to the dungeon today?"
Hestia asked curiously. She was already very relaxed about Roland now. After all, as long as Roland himself didn't want to, there would probably be no one in Orario who would force him.
"No, Finn from Loki's family asked me out."
"Finn, he is the leader of Loki's clan, right? What does he want from you?"
Because he was a man, Hestia did not seem nervous, but just looked at Roland strangely.
"I don't know either. It is said that he wants to reveal some...confidential information to me?"
-
In Hostess of Abundance, although it was already morning, it was still a little far from the store's official opening time. However, for regular customers, this rule naturally did not matter.
Sitting at a table in the corner, Roland tore open the envelope in front of him, looked at the few words inside, and his mouth twitched.
"confidential?"
"Yes, confidential."
Roland turned over the paper, pointed at the words "Sword Hero" on it, and looked at Finn.
"Is this a secret?"
"Correct."
"The strongest rookie in Orario, Roland's title is Sword Hero?"
"Correct."
"Hahahahahaha! Do you need to tell me if I'm the Sword Hero?"
"Legends are legends, but this is the official certification of the guild."
Finn had a serious expression on his face, but seeing Roland's speechless look, he couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, the guild is an official entity after all, and they have to take responsibility for this kind of thing. The heroes recognized by them will be officially announced to the world. You are not just a legend of Orario, but a legend of the entire world. This kind of reward is actually very high."
"And fame is also a very valuable part. In the beginning, my Lord God also made a lot of efforts for my title."
Finn's title is a hero, which was his own request, because in order to revive the dwarf race, there must be a representative figure. In fact, this strategy is also very successful. Up to now, the identity of the dwarf race has not affected Finn's love luck. He has many admirers in the whole of Orario. He has gradually dispelled the prejudice against the dwarf race and changed its reputation bit by bit.
"Even if you didn't tell me, the title would have been officially announced at noon today. You wouldn't come to me for such a trivial matter."
Roland folded the letter in his hand and looked at Finn with interest.
"So, there was a problem with the anomaly in the dungeon last time. Didn't we tell the guild that this thing was contagious? What did they reply to you?"
"You're still so sharp."
Speaking of this, Finn's expression suddenly became heavy. He drank the divine wine beside him in one breath and said helplessly.
"They said, don't worry, our Orario is thriving."
Chapter 137 The End of the Holy Lord's Family Has Come
"Flourishing? That's not a popular word."
Roland chuckled. He didn't think that the guild that was founded by the first group of main gods and has been operating until now and is in charge of the entire Orario would really think so.
"Does the guild intend to continue to give Orario a shot in the arm?"
"Yes."
Finn was also somewhat helpless. "Olario is the center of the world. We must be extremely cautious in every move. After all, the whole world will change because of its direction. We can only prepare ourselves before the disaster breaks out."
"The guild's strategy must be more than just launching a hero like me, right?"
Roland also took a sip of the wine, looking at Finn in front of him with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"What do you want me to do by asking you to come to me in private?"
"You really saw through everything... You are worthy of being the sword hero."
Finn also smiled, but did not answer the question immediately.
"The guild attaches great importance to the information about the purple crystal. In the past two days, it has gradually launched operations to investigate and isolate the infected in the name of maintaining public security. As for forces other than Orario, we can only notify them in advance. Right now, Orario doesn’t have much time to take care of them. From today on, all dependents with first-level adventurers will be notified.”
Finn's eyes fixed, and he said seriously, "The Great Expedition is about to begin. Regardless of your clan, as long as you have the power of a first-level adventurer, you must participate in this Great Expedition. You must break through the fifty-eighth floor and try your best to find the source of the disaster and eliminate it."
"The Great Expedition..."
Roland's eyes flashed with unknown colors and he whispered.
Orario's move is indeed very prudent. As the world's key energy production center, and with the largest number of powerful adventurers, Orario is just a city, but it is the best in the world in terms of combat power and influence.
While gaining maximum benefits, they also bear an implicit responsibility.
Suppress the dungeon.
Although after thousands of years of time, the past incidents of dungeon monsters raging on the surface have become legends, but to the gods, it is like what happened yesterday, and it is the main mission that they cherish.
