Lucius POV
Dungeon, Eighteenth Floor.

...

...

Opening my eyes slowly, I found myself in front of two goddesses arguing. One of them was Hestia, unrecognizable with her double braids and childish behavior. I noticed her with swollen and red cheeks. The other is a goddess with blond hair and green eyes, of divine beauty, I have to admit, her cheeks are also swollen.

Of course, the goddesses were arguing with each other, resulting in each one pinching the other's cheek in this quarrel.

Still, I wonder what the hell Aphrodite is doing here; this is not at all canonical....

They stopped arguing when they saw me move my head.

"Lucius-Kun!"
"Lucius-San!"

Said the two goddesses as soon as they saw me awake.

"What's going on here, and still arguing over me!?" I demanded.

Hestia cleared her throat and finally spoke.

"We're still on the eighteenth floor. You got hurt last night, and since then, you've been unconscious. It's been more than 15 hours!" Hestia informed me, and I wanted to know what happened because I cast a spell and got hurt with a sudden explosion. This was very unexpected, considering I used the minimum of the spell! What a horrible situation. My body hadn't fully recovered, so I started casting healing to heal myself as quickly as possible.

"And what are you doing here? And you, I don't think we've ever met..." I asked Hestia and then turned to Aphrodite. I didn't lie; I really never spoke to this goddess other than knowing of her existence.

"Your fencing teacher, Mikoto, informed us that Bell was in danger thanks to Takemikazuchi's group. So, we formed a team to enter the dungeon and rescue my little Bell. But to our surprise, when we arrived, we found out that Bell is fine with his group, thanks to you, Lucius-kun! You rescued them in such a difficult moment, so you have my sincere thanks for that!" Said Hestia sincerely.

"There's nothing to thank, Hestia. We're in the same family, right? I said I would help in any way I could." I said with a smile, and Hestia nodded happily at my sincere words.

"But it's amazing that you could go to the intermediate floors and pass through them so easily! I couldn't believe it when I heard about it from Aphrodite, that you rescued one of her daughters too!"

"What can I say, I have my talents." I shrugged and looked at the second blond-haired goddess while she remained quiet, listening to our conversation.

"Well, Mr. Lucius, I was going to Hestia to ask about you. You helped one of my daughters, after all. I wanted to thank you, of course, but I heard about the issues with another son of Hestia, so I accompanied Hestia and Hermes here!" She said as if she were doing something to be proud of. I noticed that this goddess is as mischievous and childish as Hestia.

"But no one really asked for your help..." Hestia grumbled with crossed arms, turning her head the other way.

"Shut up, ugly loli!" Aphrodite shouted angrily and looked at me, striking a charming pose.

"So, Mr. Lucius? Just my presence already makes you feel better when you see my beauty, doesn't it?" She said.

"A new narcissistic goddess with her beauty appeared," I thought as I looked at this blonde goddess in front of me without knowing what to say about it.
