And the list of skills went on.
Hestia could barely keep up. The dense wall of text felt like it was blinding her.
"How is this possible...?"
The blue-ribbon goddess stared at Yuto's back, dazed. The sheer shock left her mind reeling.
Everyone knew that in this world, the number of magic slots was fixed: one to three. Most people had just one. Those with two were highly coveted, snatched up wherever they went. Geniuses with three slots weren't unheard of in Orario, but they were rare. Yet Yuto's sheer volume of skills? That was something Hestia had never seen or even heard of.
This wasn't just genius. It was monstrous.
The surprise hit her like a tidal wave, sending her little heart into a frenzy. It took her a moment to calm her racing excitement. She gripped the parchment tightly, afraid she might scream.
'I've struck gold!'
Who could've imagined that her luck would finally turn? No one could call her the most useless goddess in the heavens anymore! Could any of them find talent like this?
"Hestia?"
Yuto, lying on his stomach, noticed the goddess had gone silent for a while and turned his head. Before he could react, the overjoyed goddess pounced on him.
"Hehe... Yuto... Yuto, how am I so lucky to have met you~~"
"I'm so happy right now, I feel like I could fly!"
Yuto felt the soft, supple warmth of the goddess's body against his. Without hesitation, he pulled the busty goddess into his arms, savoring her ample curves as he held her tighter.
"Yuto, our Hestia Familia is finally going to rise!!"
"Mm." The boy nodded, gazing intently into her bright blue eyes. "Hestia, as long as I'm here, no one will look down on you or make you suffer again. I'll lead you and your Familia step by step to become the strongest in Orario."
Staring at his handsome face and the confident aura he exuded, Hestia's cheeks flushed. Her eyes shimmered with joy, gratitude, and a growing desire to claim him as her own.
Chu~
A soft, wet kiss landed on his cheek. The blue-ribbon goddess's eyes sparkled with affection as she shyly buried her face in his chest.
"T-this is a thank-you gift... for appearing by my side."
"I feel the same," Yuto replied.
After completing the Familia contract, both Yuto and Hestia felt their bond deepen significantly.
Moments later, they stepped out of the small room. Hestia, her long-held wish finally fulfilled, couldn't help but grin foolishly. Her smug expression irritated both Hephaestus and Ryuu, though the latter didn't realize her own twinge of jealousy.
'Finally, she's leaving,' Hephaestus thought, leaning against a table with her arms crossed, a relieved smile on her face. But Yuto's next words froze her joy in place.
"I'm looking for a house in the city. For now, my goddess will stay with you a few more days. I'm counting on you, Hephaestus."
"You little, how can you be so shameless?!" The forging goddess nearly choked in disbelief. She'd never seen someone make such a bold request so brazenly. As Hestia gleefully pounced on her, Hephaestus felt utterly drained.
"Hehe, Hephaestus, we really are fated to be together... Let me stay a few more days~~"
"I'd rather not have this fate. Just leave already."
…..
And so, they left Hephaestus's weapon shop. With time to spare, Yuto didn't rush back to the tavern. Instead, he and Ryuu Lion wandered the city streets, taking in the unique sights and sounds of this otherworldly place. Along the way, he picked up some local specialties to bring back to the girls in both worlds.
As they prepared to head back under the fading light of dusk, the sky was painted with golden-red clouds. Orange rays spilled across the horizon, tinting the evening clouds. In the distance, the first hints of night began to spread.
With the sky dimming, a curious blend of twilight and brilliance filled the air. Ryuu glanced at Yuto, bathed in the sunset's glow, and felt her heart race. Their shadows stretched long on the ground, and at one point, his hand brushed against hers, sending a shiver through her body. For a girl who had never been in love, the sensation was both foreign and thrilling.
As streetlamps flickered to life, warm light enveloped them, illuminating their path. From day to night, their understanding of each other deepened. Unbeknownst to Ryuu, she smiled more that day than she had in ages.
Just as they neared the Hostess of Fertility, Yuto suddenly stopped, his expression turning cold as if sensing something.
"What's wrong?" Ryuu asked, noticing his shift in demeanor.
"Nothing," he replied with a gentle smile. "Miss Ryuu, I just remembered something I need to handle. You go on ahead."
"Alright. I'll make sure Mia saves you some dinner," she said, perceptive enough not to pry. She soon disappeared around the corner.
Meanwhile, Yuto smirked and stepped into a secluded alley. As the streetlights' glow faded, darkness swallowed him. From the shadows, four cold gazes fixed on him.
"Come out. I'll only say it once."
Tap, tap...
With barely audible footsteps, four small figures emerged from the gloom. Yuto recognized them as the Gulliver Brothers, elite guards of the Freya Familia. Each wielded a different weapon and wore heavy armor. His Discernment Eye skill revealed they were all Level 5 adventurers.
'So, Freya's already after me, huh? She must've sensed my potential and sent her goons right away. How impatient,' Yuto thought.
The brothers, unaware of his thoughts, glared at him with envy, their voices icy. "Kid, Lady Freya wishes to meet you. She wants you to join the Freya Familia. Come with us."
"Tell your master I'm not interested in joining her Familia. If you don't want to die, scram."
His insult ignited fury in the dwarves, their killing intent surging. "You dare insult Lady Freya? You're dead, human!"
"We'll break your limbs and make you kneel before the goddess, begging for forgiveness."
The spear-wielding dwarf, seemingly the leader, hurled his weapon at Yuto with lethal precision. His brothers moved in sync, clearly intent on not letting this insolent boy escape.
Boom!
The spear shot through the air like an arrow, but before it could strike, a blood-red sea materialized midair, emanating a sinister aura. The crimson light bathed Yuto's face, giving him a bloodthirsty edge.
A sharp, ear-piercing screech echoed, like the cry of a monstrous bird. A spear of pure blood formed from the sea, shattering the incoming weapon and continuing toward the dwarf with thunderous force.
"No!"
The blood spear was too fast to dodge. With a scream, the spear-wielder's armor exploded, and the spear pierced his body, sending him tumbling across the ground in a spray of blood.
"How is this possible?"
In the blink of an eye, their comrade lay dead. The remaining three stood frozen, their minds struggling to process what had just happened.
He's only Level 1... how is he so strong?
But reality gave them no time to think. Yuto closed the distance in an instant, delivering a heavy punch.
"He's using his fist against a weapon?!" the sword-wielding dwarf thought gleefully, swinging his blade to meet the punch. But in the next moment, the terrifying force disintegrated him into a mist of blood.
Boom!
Blood rained down, painting the alley crimson. The last two brothers finally felt fear, but before they could flee, silver chains emerged from the void, binding their limbs.
Thud!
Yuto approached them indifferently. With a flick of his hand, the Chains of Heaven spun wildly, strangling one dwarf until he burst.
Splat...
Brain matter and blood splattered, drenching the final survivor. In seconds, only one of the Gulliver Brothers remained.
"Arrr...!!"
A grotesque Lahmu, a creature from Fate/Grand Order, leaped joyfully from the Sea of Life, its twisted form approaching the terrified dwarf. It grinned, its massive mouth filled with teeth taking up its entire face.
"Eat his limbs and carry him to Freya's base. My runes will keep him alive for now," Yuto instructed. "As for the way, this gentleman who threatened to break my limbs will guide you."
With that, Yuto walked out of the alley, his expression calm. Behind him, the Lahmu's delighted chewing and the dwarf's desperate pleas echoed through the darkness. To the Lahmu, this human was a delectable treat.
