Danmachi - The Last Hero

Chapter 2: Overcoming Divinity I

Taking their seats at the booth Hestia selected; Bell and his goddess were approached by a young woman with stormy blue/grey hair and eyes. She was petite with curves in just the right places and a moderately sized chest in perfect symmetry with the rest of her physique.

"Beautiful, she is truly beautiful" Bell thinks as he is pulled back out of his mind by the pleasant voice of the beautiful woman.

"I am Syr Flova, and I will be your hostess for the evening. Have you and your goddess decided what you would like to order?" The hostess asked in a cheerful but tired tone!

"I would like the Steak platter as well as a big bowl of Mia's famous stew; and a tankard of ale" Replied Hestia with barely a glance up at the young woman; still too captivated by Bell to really pay Syr any mind!

"Oh.....I would like to try a bowl of stew, and a glass of tea please" stated Bell with a slight quiver in his voice.

"Coming right up! The steak platter will be a few minutes goddess but I can bring everything else to the table now if you wish" Syr said with a smile on her face.

"Yes please" They replied simultaneously.

A loud commotion commanded the attention of everyone in the Hostess of Fertility towards the front door as a large and rowdy group entered the tavern. This group was lead by the goddess of mischief; Loki who was immediately flanked by a stocky Dwarf and a blond pallum. They were followed by a werewolf, two amazons, a young elf, several humans and demi-humans including a cat person with Aiz and Riveria bringing up the rear. They proceeded to a large banquet table which was situated around the corner from the table Bell and Hestia currently occupied, against the far wall to the right of the front door.  They all took their seats and began ordering as a cat person and several hostesses made the table a priority.

Their first course arrived courtesy of a Syr and the large dwarf who accompanied her.

"I am Mama Mia, the proprietor of the Hostess of Fertility. Considering I have never seen either of you two before, I thought I would come over and introduce myself to my newest customers. Nice to meet you and spend lots of valis" The dwarf woman said with a sharp smile.

"I am Bell Cranel and this is my goddess Hestia. It is good to meet you Mia" Bell said with hungry eyes directed strait at the large bowls of stew in the broad shouldered woman's hands.

"So are you an adventurer Bell? You almost look too cute to be dungeon crawling to be honest, but considering your armor.....I still have to assume you are." The dwarf asked.

"I am indeed, although i have only been venturing into the dungeon for a week." He replied earnestly.

"Only a week aaaaye. Well stay safe down there. I am a retired adventurer from the Freya familia, so I know exactly what you will be facing for a good stretch of the dungeon. It's a dangerous life so be sure to always be prepared in terms of both items/equipment and strategy. I sincerely hope I will be able to see you in here quite frequently and I can't do that if you end up rotting on the dungeon floor. Well I will let you two get to your meals, the steak should be along in a few more minutes." She stated through that same smile. "Syr, their mugs look a little dry, top them off!"

"Yes Mamma Mia' The cheerful girl replied.

Bell and Hestia began to eat, as Syr was refilling their drinks and a young elf woman brought the steak platter over to us and placed the plate in front of an excited Hestia.

"I am Ryuu" the stunning elf stated. She was petite, with curves exactly where she needed them with a very nice chest. She has light green hair and an alluring pair of sky blue eyes.
