"Hey, Orsted, I secured Transcender for you!" Hestia announced, returning with a triumphant grin.
"Thanks to Hephaestus, Takemikazuchi, Miach, Loki, Deter, and Freya. We couldn't have beaten those fun-loving gods without them."
"Thanks, Hestia," Orsted said, relieved.
He'd worried the Denatus' playful gods would saddle him with a ridiculous alias.
Hestia ensured otherwise, and he made a ntal note to thank them.
"By the way, Lili and Tifa's aliases are set too," Hestia continued.
"Lili's is Devoted Fan. No idea why she picked it, but the gods jumped on it instantly. Total fun-lovers."
Orsted broke into a cold sweat.
Lili had long hinted at wanting a specific alias, shared only with Hestia in secret. He hadn't expected this.
But reflecting on Lili's fangirl-like behavior since joining, it fit perfectly.
"Tifa's is Princess, as you suggested," Hestia said, puzzled. "What's the aning behind it?"
"It's special to ," Orsted smiled, dodging explanation.
Soon, Lili and the others, fresh from the hot springs, sward Hestia, eager for Denatus results.
Learning Orsted, Lili, and Tifa got their desired aliases, Eina and the others buzzed with excitent.
"Hestia, can you push for Elven Advisor at the next Denatus in three months?" Eina asked. "I'm half-elf—fits, right?"
"Elven Advisor? Sounds good. I'll fight for it," Hestia promised.
"I'm Orsted's adventuring advisor," Eina grinned.
"Hestia, I want Judgent ," Senie said.
"Why?" Hestia looked confused.
"Secret," Senie smirked.
"I'll go with Elven Mage," Elenoir chid in.
"We'll be Elven Twins," two elves said.
"Fire Mage!" another declared.
"Then I'm Ice Mage!" added another.
"Slow down, I can't keep up! I'll grab a parchnt," Hestia laughed, scrambling to note the requests.
"Brother Orsted, what about ?" Aerith asked.
"How about The Flower Girl?" Orsted suggested.
"Oh?" Aerith tilted her head.
"By the way, Hestia, everyone, Finn ca by and invited to their expedition. Thoughts?" Orsted asked after Hestia recorded the titles.
"Accept it, Lord Orsted," Lili urged first, encouraging him.
"Go for it, Lord Orsted. Head to the depths," Elenoir added.
"Do it, Orsted!" Tifa cheered.
"Brother Orsted, deeper adventures await," Aerith said.
Everyone urged him to join, none objecting.
"Why? Don't you want with you?" Orsted asked, puzzled.
"You're all Level 2 now, with top combat power. You could join in the lower floors safely."
"We sense your urgency, Orsted," Hestia said softly.
"It eases each ti you rank up. You want to grow fast, don't you? Deep floors are best for that."
"Alone, we'd stop you—it's too dangerous. But with Loki and Hephaestus familia mbers, we're not worried."
"Don't stress about us," Lili said seriously. "Just rank up fast. With your talent, one expedition should do it."
"Go, Lord Orsted!" the others echoed.
"Is it that obvious?" Orsted smiled wryly.
Since arriving in Orario, a constant pressure had chased him.
The Evilus's sche, tied to Dionysus, threatened Orario with annihilation.
Without strength to stop it, Orario would fall.
In the light novel, Orario's Familias unite to avert the crisis, but reality diverged. Bell Cranel never appeared.
Orsted couldn't bank on the light novel's outco.
"I'll accept Finn's invitation," he decided.
"After this expedition, I should be able to rank up."
