Danmachi: I have a Simulator!

"Are you the newcomer who wants to join our familia?"

With long black hair, red pupils, and slightly raised hair that is very conspicuous, coupled with that tall figure, she was walking towards him with light steps.

It seemed that she had just come out of the forging room. The woman was covered in sweat all over her body, and her upper body was only covered with a chest cloth. This presumptuous image made Yami not know what to say for a moment. His mind also started to get out of control.

For a good-blooded boy, the scene in front of him was extremely shocking.

"Boy, where are your eyes looking!" The woman walked in front of Yami, and when she noticed the obvious deviation of the other's line of sight, the corners of her mouth could not help but raise slightly.  

"As a newcomer, It's rude to keep staring at girls, don't you know that?"

"Sorry!"

Yami, who returned to his senses, hastily raised his gaze with an embarrassed expression.

His first impression in the other party's heart may have been greatly reduced when he was discovered while peeking!

But even so, he still had to work hard for it.

"Nice to meet you Miss Collbrande, the Captain of the Hephaestus Familia, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yami. I'm a foreigner who just came to Orario. I want to join your Familia. Please give me a chance, Miss Collbrande!"

Bowing slightly, Yami's tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

Tsubaki, who originally thought the other party was just a pervert, looked surprised, with a hint of interest in her eyes, smiled, and waved her hand, "You don't need to be so formal. Just call me Tsubaki. I heard Liz mention you, come in with me!"

"Yes, please excuse me!"

Following Tsubaki, the two entered the inner room together, a room specially used for receiving foreign guests.

"Sit down," Tsubaki came to the main table and sat down, looked at Yami again, and then continued: "Everyone in the Adventurer's Guild should have told you about Orario's current situation, right? Because of what happened last year, Many families have suffered heavy losses. Even our Hephaestus familia is no exception. Many familias have even withdrawn from Orario. If it were not for the shortage of manpower, we would not be recruiting at this time."

"Most of the backbone of the familia members are busy improving their abilities and have no time to train newcomers. In fact, we also wanted to recruit some adventurers with a few characteristics, but none of them were recruited. Now you, a newcomer, came to the door on your own initiative. It's really unexpected~"

Hearing Tsubaki's words, Yami was slightly taken aback.

Misha did not mention this matter to him; he just came to Orario, so he didn't have time to understand the situation. Who knew so many things had happened here.

He now knew why the Hephaestus familia was recruiting people through the guild.

"Sure enough, looking at you looking lost, you didn't know. It's really difficult."

Tsubaki, who had been paying attention to the changes in Yami's expression, scratched her head distressingly, "Then what are your strengths? What skills have you mastered, such as forging or special magic?"

"Uh... none at all..."

Yami smiled awkwardly again, feeling a little embarrassed.

After hearing the response, Tsubaki's expression became very strange, and the words in her heart blurted out instantly: "Then how did you have the confidence to come here for an interview? Although our Hephaestus familia is not the strongest, It's also among the top group, didn't the person in charge tell you?"

'Of course, she said it, but can't people have a little dream?'

"Tsk. Newcomers who don't know anything are really the most troublesome, so the last question, why did you choose to join the Hephaestus familia?"

When this question was raised, Tsubaki's expression also became very serious.

As the head of the group, she was also responsible for recruiting the familia members. Naturally, she was unwilling to let some bad-tempered guys into the familia. You can have minor shortcomings, but you must not be too bad.

Perhaps some gods liked this kind of child and treated the other's various behaviors as fun. Still, this method would never work with the Hephaestus familia.

Therefore, to every adventurer who joined the familia, Tsubaki would ask them this question.

Even if she couldn't tell whether someone was lying, Tsubaki, who had been through hard work, had sharp eyes. Her accuracy rate was about 90%!

"A reason for wanting to join the Familia?"

After a little hesitation, Yami's eyes were firm, and he did not dodge at all, "The Hephaestus's familia is strong enough and has sufficient resources. The God of Hephaestus's character is also very easy-going, and there are no rumors of internal struggles among the familia. Great for newcomers."

"In addition, I also want to learn to forge. Equipment and weapons are very important for adventurers, so I want to solve future equipment problems myself."

"I can't guarantee that I can do anything for the familia, but I will definitely not do anything that endangers the familia!"

"Hmmm..." It was Tsubaki's turn now. She had never seen such a formal response. The boy in front of her was really different.

"Although your honest answer surprised me a little, it's barely qualified. Come with me to see Hephaestus-sama. If she agrees, you will become part of Hephaestus's family~"
