When we returned to the camp, night had already fallen, and the entire floor was dark. We made a big bonfire next to the camp with the fish we caught. Bell's group, Mikoto's group, Hermes, and even many people from the Loki family joined us. We had many pleasant conversations and laughs, but there were also other annoying conversations, like listening to Bete's arrogance and, especially, the twins questioning me about many things in the Goliath fight, where I had to give some explanation under Hermes' watchful eye on the conversation topic. It was exhausting.

But my dodges improved over time, as I began to get drunk! I got too carried away with everyone's company and overdid it with the drinks during the banquet, until I lost consciousness of my actions, something that wasn't happening for the first time.

When I regained consciousness a few hours later, Hestia was yelling at me while in my tent, with Aphrodite putting my head between her breasts like one of her pillows.

I looked a bit scared and sighed in relief, seeing that I didn't sleep with her while drunk, as she was still dressed. That could bring me a lot of trouble; I even questioned how she ended up here.

But for Hestia, it didn't seem that way. She was extremely furious!

"You damn love goddess! How dare you sleep with my son behind my back!" She shouted at a sleeping Aphrodite.

Seeing that Aphrodite just groaned a bit without caring about Hestia's screams, my goddess lunged at her sleeping colleague, catching her by surprise and dragging her to the tent's entrance, while the love goddess suddenly woke up being dragged and started screaming indignantly. But Hestia simply kicked her out of the place.

'How does she have so much strength?' I couldn't help but wonder in my hungover state when I saw Hestia throw Aphrodite like a ragdoll. I prayed Riveria didn't see this scene, as it could classify me as a playboy and make her angry at me.

"AND YOU! CAN YOU STOP SLEEPING WITH ALL MY HEAVENLY COLLEAGUES? YOU DAMN PLAYBOY!" Hestia yelled at me, which made me cover my ears with my hangover not helping much.

She didn't let me respond because she quickly left the tent, probably to argue with Aphrodite.

After a while, I left the tent wondering where Riekling had gone. I knew he didn't die, so he should be somewhere around here.

I found my goblin with Aphrodite's group of girls. They treated him like a docile dog, which wasn't much of a surprise. I greeted everyone I could, and if Riveria saw the commotion with Aphrodite, she didn't show any reaction when I greeted her at breakfast.

We started the day calmly after dealing with my hangover from last night, had my first meal with Hestia and the others. Then I went to the city; I had to deal with the issue of that explosion at the inn.

When I arrived, I could see the damage for the first time. Some people recognized me as they saw me looking at the wreckage so attentively and with a shocked expression.

"It's him, isn't it?" said one voice. "It was him! I saw him being carried out of the wreckage by the Loki family!" said another.

Ignoring the adventurers talking about me, I entered the place to deal with it directly with the owner.

"So it's you?" said a man who seemed to be a level 2 or 3 adventurer when I entered the place. He was behind the counter cleaning some glasses and not very happy with my presence, from what I could gather.
"Just tell me how much I owe you for the damage I caused..." I sighed, there was no point in arguing for something I brought upon myself.
