Lucius POV
Abandoned church.

...

...
"Now I'm officially recruited to the Hestia family!" I said with a smile to lighten the slightly tense atmosphere.
"That's right, we should celebrate!" Hestia said cheerfully.
"Yeah!" Exclaimed Bell from the other side.
"Let's do it tomorrow night. I want to buy some clothes for myself because I only have these dirty ones I'm wearing!" I lamented a bit in my voice.
"Okay, we'll buy some clothes while Bell goes to the dungeon alone today," she said, and Bell nodded.
After eating some of the things Bell prepared, he got ready with his guild armor, and we left the old church. In the end, we split up, Bell went to the dungeon while Hestia and I headed to the center of the slums. We had some time before she started her work at the potato cart, so she decided to accompany me.
"Lucius-kun, if you want to talk about something, it's healthy to vent, and I'd be happy to be your ear and help. It's my duty as one of my children..." Hestia said at my side, hesitating. I was tall at 6'1" while she, well, she was a Loli, so to the eyes of others, it would seem like I'm standing beside a daughter at a certain distance.
"Thank you for your words, Goddess Hestia, but I'm fine. I'd like to put this subject to rest if possible." I spoke a bit more firmly to indicate that I didn't want to talk about anything. Knowing that Hestia knew about my life in the Empire leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
But something finally improved my mood. In the first store I went to, I managed to trade my poor appearance for decent clothes with some money Bell had left for me. I suffered some prejudice because I was still wearing dirty clothes, but with Hestia by my side, I managed to make my purchases. We then went to other stores so that I could have at least a decent wardrobe for now.
We spent some time together. I wasn't Bell, so Hestia behaved without her childish side, seeing that I had a more mature demeanor. Now that I was in decent clothing, some older women looked at me with interest, and I couldn't help but notice.
"Am I the Bell Cranel of the MILFs?" I thought to myself, laughing about it, but I soon had my thoughts interrupted by a new voice.
"Hestia! Didn't you have a date a few days ago? Are you already going out with another guy, although he's taller, older, and... TOTALLY MY TYPE!!" The voice sounded behind us, and when we turned around, she said the last part after seeing me and started yelling her phrase as she approached where I was. I was equally surprised; she had divine beauty with almost orangish blonde hair, a sensual body in her dress, a beautiful face, mouth, and a huge "Sugoi Dekai!" She was a goddess friend of Hestia's for thousands of years in the heavens, I believe. She's known as the goddess Demeter.
"Demeter! It's not what you think! He's my new son who joined today, I'm just helping him buy some new clothes! WAIT! WHAT'S WITH THIS TOTALLY MY TYPE THING!?" Protested Hestia.
Even though we had known each other for only a few hours, even if she really liked me as a son, her love interest had always been Bell. Not that I cared about that; in fact, I'm not interested in any girl other than the emerald elf from the Loki family. But still, she didn't like how Demeter flirted with me when she looked at me.
On the other hand, maybe now I could be interested in Demeter for some fun, seeing her divine beauty, not to mention her huge bosom, with almost half of it showing!
The woman in front of me somehow saw my interests with her look. When she walked quickly to us, she just pushed Hestia aside with her butt, and I wondered how she did that as I looked at what she did, making the poor loli goddess fall to the ground a few meters away.
"DEMETER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Hestia was indignant at her friend's actions.
"Hello, young man. My name is Demeter, a colleague of your new goddess, straight from the heavens. But I'm quite surprised, I must say that Hestia has been very well accompanied lately, that even makes me a little jealous for not having a son like that..." She said, pretending to be sad while putting her ample bosom close to me.
Hestia on the ground, watched this scene with wide eyes because not even with Bell had she been so bold.
"Pleased to meet you, Demeter. My name is Lucius Drakenar, and I have to admit that my goddess, Hestia, didn't tell me about having such a charming friend. I wonder how she hid such an attractive detail..." I said with the most seductive smile I could muster. Maybe I wasn't so good at the art of seduction a week ago, but now, with the memories from Earth, I had a good game here due to my casual encounters in my previous life.
"Hehehehe, you're quite charming, Lucius. I didn't know there was such a mortal in Orario." Her eyes were sparkling with desire.
'Come on, Lucius, admit it; I'm a handsome young man and a Milf Slayer, be it a mortal or a goddess. HAHAHAHA!' I asked myself internally, not worried about getting any answer.
"But since you like it... why don't I show you more about this detail you seem interested in?" She said, blinking her eyes, trying to seduce me. She was bold, and it was working.
"I believe a conversation somewhere else would be more fitting," I said, still smiling.
While we were talking like two animals in heat, we forgot and didn't notice Hestia anymore, who was a few meters away.
Hestia seemed to be having a seizure without getting up from the ground since she fell when she was pushed by Demeter. She saw her son and her well-endowed friend openly flirting in public, and many people heard, and she was expecting something like that from her friend but not from her new son. She had never seen anyone as shameless as Lucius before; he didn't even seem to care whether her friend was a goddess or not. He was handling this like flirting you would do in a bar! Hestia was struggling to breathe.
'If only my Bell were like that with me!!' Hestia thought internally in frustration, taking her eyes off the shameless couple for a moment. But when she looked again, she realized that Lucius and Demeter had left, without bothering to tell her or completely forgetting about her existence, while they continued to walk the streets of Orario, flirting with each other.
"I've been forgotten here..." Hestia realized and said with an expression that quickly turned into a lifeless one...
"LUCIUS DRAKENAR, HOW CAN YOU LEAVE YOURGODDESS ALONE HERE!? DEMETER, WHAT KIND OF CONSIDERATION DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR FRIEND?!" She shouted in the middle of the street, crying, making everyone look at the poor goddess still sitting on the ground in tears, but there was no sign of the people she called.

Three hours later.
"Man, that was great," I said to myself as I relaxed in bed now. There was a beautiful naked goddess next to me, sleeping very contentedly with a smile on her face.
I admit that when I found out I was coming to the world of Orario, I always wondered what it would be like to sleep with a goddess, and I wanted to avoid the craziness of Freya to find out. So I was very pleased when Demeter answered my questions in the last two hours with intense sex, and I must admit it was the best sex I've ever had. She had divine endurance that I struggled to match in this battle for pleasure.
The normal women in this world are on a much higher level in terms of beauty than what I was used to in the other world, and they are much more enthusiastic in bed. However, I've just discovered that a Goddess is on an even higher level!
But I won't be emotionally involved in this. Despite liking it, I'm not interested in having a relationship with a goddess. Besides, I want a specific woman, and relationships should be a building block for marriage, and marriage is made for having children and taking care of the next generation. If there's no prospect of that, there's no point in getting married. I've always believed that.
"Lucius-kun..." I heard a moan from beside me. Demeter was sleeping but seemed to be having a dream.
I sighed and got up from the bed, took a piece of paper and a pen from the bedside table, and wrote a message on a small letter to the lady lying in bed. I started to get dressed, picked up my bags of clothes, and left the motel with an attendant looking at me as if I had two heads at this moment.
I went straight to the church. After getting everything sorted out, I left again and headed to the guild with the crystal bag I acquired yesterday and the falna sheet that the system had provided me as a member of the Hestia family...
It didn't take long for me to approach the Babel Tower. When I arrived at the guild, there were all the famous employees working here, Eina Tully, Misha Fiott, Rose Fannett, among other colleagues. But I chose Miss Rose's counter and walked over to her because she appeared to be the least concerned and the one who asked the fewest questions from this place, among other main reasons.
Her counter was always empty because her cold gaze always said, "What are you doing here?" The main reason for choosing her was that she had been my counselor for 2 years, so I was more familiar with her than anyone else here.
"Miss Rose, it's good to see you," I said politely, causing the half-wolfkin redhead to take her eyes from an expression of boredom to one of surprise when she saw me.
"Hm? Mr. Lucius, it's really you! I heard about what happened last week, I'm sorry about that. I even closed your file after the request from your former family...," she said with genuine sadness. I knew that even in this ice wall, she also showed some affection, even if it was just a simple friendship. I cherished that beauty.
"I understand, and I don't blame you for it. You've always advised me these last few years. But I must say, if you still want to be my counselor, I would be very grateful..." I said with a mysterious smile.
"You? You succeeded...?" She said, understanding where I was going...
"Exactly, Miss Rose, I'm in a different family now. Would you like to reopen my file?" I asked, handing her the crystal containing the data of my falna.
"55 in Magic!? You had nothing the last time I saw you!" She said with genuine surprise. But I didn't say anything beyond my smile since she knew how I had difficulty growing, but I couldn't explain what was behind my sudden growth, could I?
"Well, I'll reopen your file now that you're part of the new Hestia family. And I'd be honored to continue advising you, Mr. Lucius," she said with a smile, something difficult to show here with her usual character, but we've been friends for years already.
'After completing this registration, I would start my journey to the top of this world,' I thought to myself as I watched my counselor go to the archive room to retrieve my records.
