It wasn't until everyone had received their blessings that their excitent finally subsided. Four rooms were allocated to the five girls. Kiana originally wanted to sleep with i, but Bronya stopped her, so Fu Hua and i ended up sharing a room.
Takatsuki and Bell-kun stayed in the living room.
"Bell-kun, sothing on your mind?"
Lying on the sofa, Takatsuki could instantly tell that Bell-kun, on the other sofa, seed to be thinking about sothing. After all, a pure-hearted boy couldn't hide his thoughts at all.
"Ah! Takatsuki…"
Bell-kun originally wanted to deny it, but the words that ca out were: "I'm sorry, I just feel like everyone joined the god's Familia together, but I seem to be the most useless."
"That's not true, Bell-kun. We are stronger than you not because you are too weak, but because we are too strong."
"Uh…"
Listening to Takatsuki's words, which offered no comfort, Bell-kun didn't know what to say, but Takatsuki ignored him and continued: "Becoming stronger and growing all co at a cost. We are stronger than you simply because we paid the price before you did. No one is born strong. You think we're just starting, but in reality, we've been running for a long ti."
"I'm sorry! I didn't think of that."
Seeing Bell-kun imdiately lower his head in apology, Takatsuki smiled: "It's okay. I just want to tell you not to belittle yourself. Your adventure story has just begun, and isn't your dream to beco a hero and et cute girls in the Dungeon? If you're so down before even entering the Dungeon, how will you et anyone?"
"Eh eh eh, how did Takatsuki know?! I shouldn't have told anyone."
Bell-kun's face turned red, and he imdiately pulled the blanket over his head.
Entering the Dungeon to et girls, if anyone found out, he'd surely be scorned.
"It's fine. Which young man isn't a bit romantic? Bell-kun, you'll definitely et the girl of your dreams too."
Hearing Takatsuki's words, Bell-kun secretly poked his head out: "What about Takatsuki… do you have a girl you like?"
"I guess… I do."
Takatsuki thought for a mont and gave an ambiguous answer.
"Which one is it?"
Bell-kun was naturally referring to the others who had joined the Hestia Familia. After all, anyone could see that Takatsuki was the one who led them there, and the others had never raised any objections to Takatsuki's arrangents, clearly indicating he was their backbone.
Of course, what Bell-kun didn't know was that for the others, this world was completely unfamiliar. It was human instinct to stick with soone familiar.
"Cough cough, don't think so much, kid, go to sleep! Tomorrow I'll take you to the Dungeon to start training."
The first day in this new world ended just like that. Early the next morning, when Bell-kun was woken by a sound near his ear and opened his eyes, Takatsuki was already gone from the opposite sofa. He hastily sat up and saw several people already seated at the dining table, while in the kitchen, a purple-haired and a gray-haired figure were busy.
"Bell-kun, you're awake! Quick, sit here. i and Fu Hua are preparing breakfast, it'll be ready soon."
Hestia saw Bell-kun sit up and quickly patted the empty seat beside her.
"Sorry, everyone, you all woke up so early."
Bell-kun hastily got up. Since he had slept directly in the living room, he, like Takatsuki, had only taken off his jacket.
"Bell-kun must be too excited about having new companions, but you still need to rest well."
Hestia said to Bell-kun.
"No need to apologize, Bell-kun, you're not the last one up. Kiana still hasn't woken up yet."
Bronya, sitting opposite, spoke up.
"Kiana is… that white-haired girl?"
Speaking of Kiana, the door to Kiana's room opened at that mont.
"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"
Kiana rubbed her forehead as she walked out of the room and sat down opposite Takatsuki. Takatsuki asked, looking at Kiana, who kept rubbing her head. Kiana, this guy, actually had tis when she felt unwell?
"I'm not sure, I just feel like I had a nightmare, but I can't rember it."
Takatsuki heard Kiana's words and said with a smile: "It's just a dream, just forget about it. Later, you and i can go out and buy so clothes. After all, we're going to be adventurers, and our current clothes aren't suitable anymore."
They were all wearing modern clothes, which were sowhat out of place in the current era. Fortunately, they now had money, and equipping themselves wouldn't cost much.
"And weapons!"
Hestia suddenly slapped the table: "Weapons are very important! And armor!"
"As for weapons, I can provide them. For armor, you can decide for yourselves."
Takatsuki said, casually pulling out a dagger and placing it on the table.
"Takatsuki, where did you get that from? You don't have any pockets!"
Hestia was startled when she saw it and circled Takatsuki twice. Because he had left his jacket on the sofa, Takatsuki had no pockets where he could have kept the dagger.
"That's my special ability. I have a backpack that can store things. Rember to keep it a secret."
Takatsuki didn't hide it. As companions, it would be exposed sooner or later. Although Fu Hua and Bronya hadn't asked, they had already guessed sothing similar.
"If we have this, wouldn't it be convenient for expeditions! And we wouldn't have to abandon so materials in the Dungeon."
Hestia imdiately realized the use of a spatial backpack in the Dungeon: "No! You absolutely cannot tell anyone about this! Do you understand?! If others find out, many people will definitely co to snatch Takatsuki!"
"Alright, alright, I'm only telling you because we're all companions in the sa Familia. Of course, I'll keep it a secret from others, don't worry."
As they spoke, i and Fu Hua had already prepared breakfast and walked out.
"Ah, it's i's breakfast. Only i's cooking can comfort the most."
Kiana imdiately hugged a plate of breakfast and exclaid.
"Um, I made it."
Fu Hua said calmly from the side, picking up her chopsticks, which made Kiana a bit awkward and unable to respond.
Bronya imdiately retorted without hesitation: "Idiot Kiana."
Breakfast ti quickly passed. i and the other girls went shopping for clothes, while Takatsuki, Bell-kun, and Hestia stayed ho to watch the house.
"Bell-kun, what weapon do you use?"
Although he knew that the original Bell-kun used a short sword, he was still an unpolished gem at this point and had not made his own choice.
"As for weapons…"
Bell-kun didn't know what he should use, as he had no experience with adventuring or combat. However, Takatsuki knew that he was a born adventurer, as he had always challenged the Dungeon alone without being scared away by the monsters and blood of the Dungeon.
"Since you don't know what to choose, I'll show you all types of weapons, and you can pick one that feels right."
