Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

"But it's true, I don't really understand the subtleties of a woman's heart either. As you said, I admit that."

"...As expected, very slow."

He continued to stroke her, and Naza's cheeks flushed red. Watching the wagging tail, Mihe's wry smile deepened as he stroked the hair of the only remaining member of his familiar.

As dusk fell, God and the child embarked on their journey home as usual.

"However, is Bell the only one who can still be considered a customer right now? I've greeted the adventurers several times..."

"I chased away all the women who came..."

"what?"

Volume 4 Bonus General Sales Girl Ais

"Hello... Potato Ball, please give it to me."

A potato ball stall on the main street in the north.

A blonde, golden-eyed girl spoke calmly before her—Ais, Hestia's expression turned bitter.

She kept thinking about how many times she had come to the store.

In other words, Ais, who used to appear with Bell in front of Hestia when she was working, later started to frequent this stall.

"...Welcome. What would you like to order?"

"Red bean cream flavor, one."

Driven by a sense of hostility, Ais asked the other person in a slightly rude tone, and Ais immediately answered.

Although she knew it was rude to criticize the order while simultaneously expressing hostility towards those who appreciated it, Hestia still handed the freshly fried potato ball to Ais. As Ais accepted it, she opened her small lips and began to eat heartily. Because of her beautiful and adorable appearance, the male demi-humans around her were unconsciously drawn to her.

How despicable! Hestia felt a deep sense of disgust.

"—Hestia-chan, this is so hard, so hard!?"

A sound almost like a wail reached his ears. Looking up, he saw his former colleague, who had worked at the shop, rushing in frantically. "What's wrong, Oppa?" he asked.

"The shop on the east side misunderstood the order and seems to have made a lot of extra potato balls! If our shop can't sell a thousand of them, we'll suffer a huge loss!"

"W-what—!?"

Just as everyone was marveling at this shockingly absurd problem, a truck loaded with potato balls rattled and pranced toward the stall like a bull.

Hestia paused for a few seconds, listened to the sound of thinking, and then turned to look in the direction of Ais, who was tilting her head.

"Mr. Warren, I need your help!"

"...Thank you for your purchase."

'Ten potato balls, no, twenty!' 'This is fifty years old!' 'Is this the shop where Aistan personally handed me the potato balls!?' 'Aistan gave me a smile.'

A long, winding queue stretched across the stalls. Upon hearing the news that the Sword Princess was working as a saleswoman, not only the demi-humans but also the male gods flocked from the city.

...What is this sense of defeat? Hestia, who achieved results by sacrificing reputation, was quietly and deeply attracted.

"Wow, that girl is really impressive! Why don't you hire her at our shop?"

"That's enough, Oppa-chan!?"

The bonus content for Volume 4 is behind the celebration.

"...Although it's a very good topic, Lily has adjusted her mindset. Please take care of her."

The evening sky had turned a dark red, and Lily lowered her head towards Hill and Liu in front of her.

To celebrate Belle's rank advancement, she has been invited to the "Abundant Mistress." Belle herself has not yet arrived and is currently waiting inside the shop.

Before Hill and the others, the nightmare memories of the past thief incident resurfaced. In order to gain recognition for her relationship with Bell, who saved her, Lily revealed her true feelings.

"So, Miss Lily only reformed because of Bell's love, is that right?"

"Yes, yes..."

Just as Hill had said with a grin, Lily blushed instantly.

Hill, smiling and saying "That's great!" with her hands clasped together, went on and on.

"Mr. Bell is so happy. It's like having a little sister, he's so happy!"

—Guwa!? Lily folded her body into the shape of the letter "ku". Hill was still smiling.

However, Lily gave Hill a chilling look as he unleashed a right straight punch.

Sure enough, because of what I've been through before, I can't easily trust anyone—this street girl who pretended she couldn't even kill a bug was a sharp blow...!

"Heh, heh heh heh... Mr. Bell must be very happy with the lunches Miss Hill prepares every day, right? Perhaps they're so delicious they make you cry, and you always eat them while trembling."

—Hill lay on his back as if he had been hit by an uppercut.

Lily's defiant counterattack was accompanied by adorable "whoosh" moans.

“Hill, no, you have to pull yourself together… Erd, please don’t bully her too much. Even if she can’t cook as deliciously as a normal person, it’s the result of Hill’s hard work after many failures.”

—A merciless left hook, delivered from outside his field of vision, exploded in Hill's temple.

The elegant street girl, swaying sideways, was on the verge of collapsing. Lily watched her from afar as Ryu offered her a swift and utterly reassuring comfort.

"Tonight is a celebration of Mr. Craney's achievements. Let's stop this pointless arguing."

“Uh, well…”

"...That's right."

A swaying Hill nodded with difficulty, and Lily replied with a strange expression. Ryu thanked the two of them.

Before Bell arrived at the tavern, Lily, out of compassion, deepened her bond with Hill and the others.

Volume 4 Bonus: The Loyalty of the White Rabbit

To this day, Bell still holds Hestia in high esteem.

The kind-hearted god wouldn't command him. But if she wanted that or that, he would act immediately; if his family was struggling financially, he would rush to the dungeon to earn money.

As a family bond, it is only natural that Bell is loyal to Hestia.

"Bell, Bell-kun, although I want to hide it, I really can't sleep well without a body pillow!"

Therefore, even if he is suddenly told unexpected news, he will sincerely listen to the words of God.

"Ah, is it a body pillow?"

"Ah, it was indispensable in the Celestial Realm. Although I've endured it until now, I can't bear it any longer! That's right, a body pillow like a human's is necessary for me now!"

Perhaps out of shyness, she blushed as she confided in me—Bell was momentarily lost in thought about Hestia. His own [level up] had recently made him financially secure, but so far it was all for the [Family]. Hestia should enjoy a little luxury.

Bell truly hoped to fulfill the wish that the divine being had finally spoken, the wish that he had mustered all his courage to the point of blushing. Even if it was a somewhat unclear and rigid wish.

Bell will not disappoint the still expectant gazes that turn to Hestia.

If it were the wish of the beloved God, he would tense up even his body.

For Hestia's sake, Bell made up his mind and did his best.

"...Then, could you explain, Miss Hestia?"

"..."

The magic stone lamp went out, and in the dim and silent room, a small voice rang out.

Lily crept up to Hestia on the bed, making a sound that seemed like she was bothering others. Transforming into a human using magic, she was indeed the perfect body pillow the goddess desired.

Bell, who visited late at night, was summoned to Hestia's bed, where she was waiting, by Hestia kneeling in reverence. As for Bell himself, he was already fast asleep on the sofa in his usual spot.

Hestia and Lily looked up at the ceiling in silence.

"Bell-kun, you idiot..."

The next morning, the two young girls who had invaded the sofa and the boy from the clan cried out in anguish.

A series of roars suddenly erupted.

Footsteps, accompanied by a rumbling sound, pounded across the desolate ground.

It had two large, twisted horns that resembled those of a goat, and a bulging, ugly face on its neck that looked like a horse's. As if in harmony with its continuous snorting, its bright red eyes darted around, scouting the figure of its prey.

A gigantic, monstrous body launched its attack, countless black shadows raising their thick arms, each wielding a blunt weapon, high above their heads.

"Raise your shield—!"

With a command given, countless crisp sounds of impact rang out.

Dozens of large shields blocked the monsters' attack.

The shield-bearer's heels dug deep into the ground, proclaiming the power of the monster's charge.

"Forwards, don't let the tight formation break up! Defenders, keep attacking!"

The army responsible for fighting the ferocious monsters is a legion of humans and demi-humans composed of various races.

Muscular dwarves erected two massive shields, while elves and orcs relentlessly attacked the enemy with arrows and magic. The brown-skinned Amazon sisters darted across the battlefield, weaving through their comrades' long-range attacks while simultaneously slashing at monsters.

In the troops divided into forward and rear guard (two groups), a flag fluttered in the wind in the center of the formation.

The badge printed on it features a clown (trickster) with a comical smile.

This is proof of a "familiar" that has made a pact with a "god".

"——!"

A barren, desolate land. A vast space where rocks and gravel are all stained reddish-brown.

Deep within the landscape, obscured by flying sand, lies a colossal wall that rises to the sky, along with a ceiling that blocks out the heavens.

This is "deep underground," dozens of floors below ground.

The people fought the monster while emitting roars that would never reach the ground.

"Tiona, Tione! Go and support the left flank!"

The boy, smaller than anyone else on this battlefield—the leader of the dwarf race (Palum)—issued insightful and swift instructions.

The commander, who oversaw the overall trend of the battle, had a loud and sharp voice. Under his command, the rapidly changing battle situation, which had almost turned the tide, was reversed several times.

"Oh dear—, there aren't enough bodies to go around!"

"Less talk, more action."

Upon receiving the order, the Amazon sisters rushed out and instantly felled the three-headed monster.

In fact, it was a truly nightmarish scene.

A monstrous army appeared out of nowhere. No matter how many we slaughtered, they continued to advance relentlessly, attacking with the intention of overwhelming us with their numbers.

Each massive body, taller than an adult, wielded blunt, club-like weapons resembling fossilized bones, causing the shield-bearers at the front lines to contort in pain. Their tightly packed defensive line retreated little by little, the semi-circular formation gradually shrinking.

The group of demi-humans retreated step by step.

"Rivia—! Aren't you ready yet—!"

In the direction the Amazonian girl was shouting, behind the forwards' protection.

Surrounded by mages and archers unleashing a barrage of spells and arrows, the beautiful sounds of chanting filled the air.
