Danmachi IF - What if Alfia survived

Chapter 29 Hestia

After that Bell left the guild without being able to decide what abilities he wanted to take.

He started wandering around aimlessly while lost in his thought. 

"Heeey, you!"

"?"

Bell noticed that someone was calling out to him as he feel a gaze towards him.

He turned around to search for the owner of the gaze and he saw a girl waving her hand towards him.

(A stall owner?)

Bell pointed at himself while looking at her,

"Yes, you who looked troubled! How about eating Jyagamaru to clear your worry? No please eat it!"

"Eeeehhh...."

Bell replied with a confused expression.

"Well, forget about the little details, come eat Jyagamaru"

Since Bell haven't eaten lunch, he decided to accept the offer and came in front of her stall.

The girl led Bell to the bench beside the stall and told him to wait there.

"Hehe, thank you, you're a good kid, the truth is I've only been able to sell a few Jyagamaru today, you helped me a lot!"

She handed a delicious-looking fried potato wrapped in paper to Bell and sat beside him.

"T-Thank you"

Under the gaze of the girl, he started munching down the potato.

"D-Delicious!"

"I see, thank you!"

The girl let out a smile as she keeps watching Bell eating.

Bell quickly finished the rest of the food.

After he finished eating, the girl then opened her mouth.

"So, what's troubling you?"

"Eh?"

"Even If I looked like this, I'm actually a goddess! I can solve a human problem with ease!"

The girl puffed her chest which bounced just from her simple movement.

(Wow...) Thought Bell as he got distracted instantly, then he averted his face in embarrassment.

"What's wrong?"

"Um, you are a goddess?"

"Yes! My name is Hestia, pleased to meet you, what is your name?"

"I-I'm Bell Cranel!"

"Bell Cranel huh, so what's your problem? I could see you are thinking about something before..."

"Yes... actually, I just levelled up to level 2 and now I'm wondering what abilities to choose..."

"Level up eh... congratulations! So, what kind of abilities did you got?"

"There are 3 options, Hunter-"

"Hunter...?"

"Abnormal resistance-"

"Abnormal resistance...?"

"Luck"

"Sorry!"

"E-Eh why?"

"The truth is I don't understand that much about abilities as I don't have any children!"

"E-Ehh..."

"Would you explain to me about the 3 of them?"

Even though the girl called Hestia admitted that she doesn't have any familia and is more or like useless about the topic, she looked at Bell with a serious expression, which prompted Bell to explain one by one to that goddess.
