Odr and Fey, Is It Wrong To Love Your Goddess?

Chapter 2: A Sudden Request

The process of sneaking to the Hostess to sleep became a normal part of Bell's life. He and his Familia began to spend more time there as well. After coming back from the dungeon, they'd eat there more often. Bell said they would have to moderate it soon since they still have Hestia and Haruhime when she doesn't go down with them. Today, the guild put up an announcement that Bell found and showed his friends.

Bell: Hey guys, take a look at this.

He showed them a copy of the announcement the guild made.

"A massive bloodsaurus outbreak has occurred in Seolo Forest. The inhabitants near the area have asked for help to deal with it so the guild requests all able adventurers to go. Know that only third class adventurers may take part.

Please see guild staff if you have further questions."

Mikoto: Only third class, so level 3 and below?

Lili: It makes sense to Lili. Once adventurers become second class the guild starts to limit the freedoms they have in terms of leaving the city.

Bell: Yeah, I'm sorry to ask, but could you guys take part?

Haruhime: The loot from those monsters is very valuable to Lord Miach, correct?

Bell: Yeah, I actually talked with him about this earlier. He asked if we could go get some potion materials for him. So, what do you guys say?

Welf: Fine by me, I've got some new weapons I'd like to try out.

Mikoto: Being able to explore outside the dungeon is rare. I have no objections.

Haruhime: Seeing as how Naaza and them make a living of their potions, I'd like to do what I can to support them. They're our friends after all.

They looked to Lili who was thinking about what to do.

Lili: Hmm, if everyone else is fine then I guess we can go. Is the guild at least going to pay us?

Bell: Sure, Miss Eina told me that you'll be paid for the trouble. She just said that this was mostly population control and that we shouldn't wipe them all out.

Lili: An easy place to collect potion materials. Still, what could have happened to cause this?

Welf: Who knows? So, when does this start?

Bell: Um, about 2 days from today. It's going to take a day to get there by carriage so we can file this and you guys should leave tomorrow.

Mikoto: Then I believe that settles that.

They all nodded and put their names in as Lili went to hand it to Eina.

Eina: I'll get these processed quickly.

Bell: Thanks a lot, Miss Eina.

She gave him a smile before leaving and Bell did the same with his Familia.

Bell: Guess you guys should get ready?

Lili: With the amount if rewards we'll get, we probably should considering we head out tomorrow.

They ended up spending much of the day jumping from store to store so they could stock up on supplies for their travels. Enough food for several days, bags to carry drops, equipment for Welf to maintain their weapons and changes of clothes. A quick trip to the dungeon and they returned home to inform Hestia.

Bell: We're back!!

The small goddess was in the living room slumped on the couch after a long day.

Hestia: Hey, everyone!
