LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 131 – Something fun is happening.
After I showered, I went downstairs and stayed with Jessica until Bell and Lili arrived home. Lili had her clothes filthy and torn from her adventure in the dungeon.
She has worked hard, as she always does.
Unlike her, Bell's clothes were clean, so he went straight to the table to eat, and Lili went to the bathroom to shower. I went upstairs and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Who?"
"It's me."
"Oh, Luan. What is it? Do you want to come in and shower with me?"
"I just want to ensure you didn't hurt yourself." I looked at her dirty, torn clothes in front of the bathroom door. This is the first time she's done this. Those clothes will probably be discarded.
"Don't worry. I hurt myself a little, but I took one of those potions to heal myself. I'm feeling pretty good, just a little tired."
"I see. Good." I smiled and went downstairs. I sat down at the table with Bell and asked him about Hestia, for she had disappeared since the morning. It was almost late afternoon.
"The goddess? I haven't seen her anywhere."
"That's strange. She's never disappeared like that before. She would have at least told someone where she was going. Do you think she got into any trouble?"
"The goddess? I don't think she's the kind of person who looks for trouble. Don't worry; she'll be back soon." Bell smiled, quite confident in his words.
Unlike him, I believe Hestia is capable of getting into trouble.
"Should I go after her?
"You don't have to do that. The goddess will be here in a little while." Bell said.
Well, the best thing to do is to wait. I wouldn't know where she is even if I went after her. I could go to the Loki Familia for information, but I doubt I will get anything.
####
I didn't need to go after Hestia. She showed up at home minutes later. However, she didn't talk to anyone and went straight to her room. I thought about going after her so we could talk, but I gave up on the idea.
'Probably something happened because of what happened at the banquet. It looks like I'll finally have some fun after quite some time.' She probably participated in a Denatus.
"Denatus" is a meeting among the gods every three months. Also, a Denatus will be made in the case of a War Game to decide the game's rules. That probably happened.
That must be why she looks so nervous.
"What is it, Luan?"
"I was thinking about Hestia. She probably participated in a Denatus."
"But why? Didn't a Denatus happen some time ago? When you got your alias."
"Don't you remember what happened at the banquet? The arguing I had with Apollo."
"Are you saying..."
"Yes, things will get quite interesting from now on."
"Aren't you afraid? The Apollo Familia is powerful."
"I'm sure that only I am enough to deal with them." I may be overestimating my strength, but who cares? I will do anything to win this battle.
'In case the War Game is going to happen. I'm not sure about it yet.'

I woke up the next day next to Lili. I left the bed without waking her and went downstairs. It was very early, so Jessica had not arrived to prepare breakfast. "I think I'll help her a little."
I wasn't very good at cooking, but since we had bread and I wouldn't have to work too hard to make a decent breakfast, I prepared something before Jessica arrived. When she arrived, the breakfast was already ready.
She was surprised that I had done her job.
"Sit to eat with me. No one's awake yet."
"Sure."
We sat down together and ate while chatting about random subjects. And after we finished eating, Bell and Lili went downstairs. Hestia had not yet left her room.
I left the three on the table and went to Hestia's room to talk to her. I knocked on the door several times, and Hestia didn't answer. Without an answer, I decided to open the door.
However, when I opened the door, no one was there.
Hestia's bed was messed up, so she had slept here. But she woke up even earlier than me. Is she avoiding talking to us about yesterday?
"Hmmm."
"What is it, Luan?" Lili came up behind me.
"Hestia's not here. She left before I woke up; I think I'll go after her."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"Don't worry. Go along with Bell and continue your training. I'll find Hestia and talk to her about yesterday."
"I keep thinking about this, about Apollo Familia."
"I already told you not to worry, didn't I? Even if a war happens against them, I'm enough to handle it."
"Even so..."
"Come on, go down and eat your breakfast. I'm going out to go after Hestia."
"Right. Keep me informed on this. I'm worried about Hestia." Lili said with a sad expression.
"I'll keep you informed about everything. Bell also needs to know about it." Even if I say I can do everything myself, Bell is strong and will greatly help.
'I'll change my clothes and go after Hestia. I think I already have some idea where she might be.' It will be the first time I will meet that Goddess in person. I don't remember seeing her at the banquet.
