Lucius POV
Dungeon.
...
...
After disposing of the bodies, I continued collecting points. I've never spent so much time in the dungeon before, not surpassing the ninth floor. I accumulated points and crystals for a full 9 hours.
With a big satisfied and slightly dirty smile, but unharmed, I left the dungeon with 4 crystal bags. This drew a lot of attention as I returned to the surface since the only way for a person to have 4 bags is to be the treasurer of a raid on the middle floors, where they would be responsible for exchanging all their companions' crystals.
Exiting the dungeon hall calmly, I went straight to the guild with my crystals, wanting to exchange them in that time before returning to the church. Needless to say, Rose saw me with all those bags as I headed to the exchange section, giving me suspicious looks. I, who was a low-rank adventurer until recently, find it hard to believe that I'm coming to exchange crystal bags for the past 3 days, with today's exceeding my average by a lot.
Of course, I greeted her, but I had to dodge her questions and narrow glares, giving an excuse that I joined a raid. I fled the guild at the first opportunity before returning to the church with Bell and Hestia.
"Where should we celebrate?" I asked, with the two preparing an afternoon coffee.
"Hmm... I don't know, what do you think, Bell-kun?" Hestia asked.
"How about the Hostess of Fertility?" He suggested, and I shivered, but then thought.
'Why am I surprised he picked this place? Anyway, I'm a secondary member in the family, protected by Bell's dazzling protagonist appearance, so I'm just a shadow behind my companion and won't attract the attention of crazy gods like Freya or Apollo, I believe!'
"Well, I agree, always wanted to check that place out." I said; I really never went there, would be interesting to enter for the first time.
The place might be quite expensive, but I have 30 thousand valis in hand after selling plenty of crystals. My contract with Hestia was 30% of the profits for the family, so I tossed a bag with 9 thousand valis into the goddess's lap when she was complaining it would be too much money for them to spend.
Seeing that money, Hestia simply had tennis ball-sized eyes, and Bell was amazed. He could make 2 thousand crystals a day, which wasn't a bad number to start a career as an adventurer. Bell was physically stronger than me, but like every adventurer, he needed to rest at a steady pace, like in the dungeon.
"As for me, I have my own advantages and can just take a break to rest my throat..." I concluded.
Before we left, I opened my system to see my progress from 9 hours in the dungeon.

Your progress was very satisfactory, and you were sure you could fulfill your goals faster.
When night fell, I took a bath and dressed in ordinary clothes, a polo shirt, pants with sneakers, and left the church to go to Mia Grand's famous Pub.
(There are suits in this medieval world, so I'll add some modern clothes.)
Thinking about that bar, I couldn't help but sigh. The bar owner, a level 6 adventurer, and all those level 4 assassins, not to mention Freya disguised as Syr. Is there a more dangerous place in Orario? I couldn't help but hope that I would survive there today.
Through the streets, Hestia was the same foolish loli trying to impress Bell and saying they were on a date, ignoring my existence.
Looking at her and seeing that she was carefree, I wondered if my loli goddess already knew that I had started a fight in the Hephaestus family shops that had to be stopped by the friend herself, as she also works in one of Hephaestus's shops some days, if I'm not mistaken.
If she knows, she hasn't said anything about it so far. I hope it doesn't cause problems for her. I may be impulsive, but I still don't want to harm people who have nothing to do with things with my actions.
Finally, the bar appeared as we walked through the main streets. The place looked quite lively; someone quite famous must have rented a table, I imagined.
When we arrived at the lively and crowded Pub, Bell, who had left after deciding on the location, reserving a table with Syr a little before the night, so we had a guaranteed spot in the crowded bar.
"Bell and his family have arrived, Nyahh!" When Anya Fromel saw Bell, she shouted towards the place to call someone and show our table.
Bell entered, and Hestia followed, I was right behind, when I saw the famous beastwoman, Anya noticed me, and she was surprised when she saw me.
"NYAHHH?!" I didn't understand what she said or her strange reaction. Her eyes were staring at me intensely, making me wonder if we hadn't met before.
"Sorry, do we know each other?" I asked, not understanding because there was nothing in my memories.
"Your name, Nyahh?" She said still a bit shy with a blush on her cheeks.
