As I walked into the church door, I was greeted with the loud thumping of soone running up the stairs from the basent and low and behold my suspicion was correct as Hestia bead ever so brightly as she ran through the door and stopped frozen in place seeing walk towards her from the church's entrance.
"Hey Hestia, I'm in one piece." I greeted and her only response was for her to tear up and run into my arms and thankfully I wasn't wearing my chest plate having taken it off after we entered Orario as she violently hugged .
I simply wrapped my arms around Hestia and picked up like a princess to take her back downstairs as I was still exhausted from the trip back here.
As I reached the basent, I could see Syr and Freya lying beside one another, and the latter seed to be asleep with Syr cradling her and obviously comforting her with the loss of my presence.
'Freya can get stressed out without around so it's good that Syr is still so attentive even with the loss of Hostess.' I thought and it still galled that Mia basically threw them out even if I understood she wanted her quiet life.
But I could be wrong, and she had so other plan in play to help her in the background.
I gently laid Hestia next to Freya and whispered. "Let wash up and I will join you in bed." I could see she wanted to join but she paused and seed to recognize my bone deep tired expression and relented.
After quickly taking a hot shower by heating up the water in the big tal tank with my fire magic I was able to destress and removed so of the caked-on sweat gotten by being so active around a battlefield.
I felt a lot better after the hot shower and soon made my way back downstairs and climbed into bed with Hestia quickly lying beside and resting her head on my shoulder.
After we both got settled in, she whispered into my ear. "Bell is fine, just needs to stay a few days with Miach to make sure those toxins don't do any damage."
I nodded exhausted to show I understood but in reality, I was already falling asleep again and I could hear Hestia's next words fogged over as my vison went dark and I passed out.

When I woke back up, I could feel an extra set of arms around and as I opened my eyes, I saw Freya's silver hair beside Hestia's black and the long hairs when combined almost made think of Yin and Yang with how different they were.
I gently started shaking them awake making them groan in denial, but a man has needs after he wakes up. "Co on ladies I need to get up for a minute."
Finally, I was able to extract myself out of their grasp and then make my way to the toilet upstairs.
After I finished washing my hands after doing my business, I grabbed a quick sandwich for lunch and made my way back downstairs and saw Freya and Hestia were quietly conversing.
"Whatcha talking about?" I asked sitting down on the couch as I knew if I got back into bed with them either one, we would be losing all our clothes or two I would fall back asleep as I still hadn't gotten a full night's rest.
"Oh we were just discussing how we were planning our next steps as a Familia and how we need to start taking Familia Quests if we want to level up our rank within the guild." Hestia explained eagerly as Freya nodded demurely at her statent.
'I wonder if those quests would apply to my heroic actions skill that would reward for doing 'Heroic Deeds' Even if it did, I doubt it would reward for doing the sa quests in a row.' I thought and my mind was drawn to the legends of people getting the golden fleece or the holy grail and despite it literally being a fetch quest, it didnt change the deeds done in retrieving it.
"Hestia could you update my falna. I think I got a new spell or sothing." I asked and seeing her smile with a nod I quickly shucked off my shirt and laid on my back on the bed after seeing Freya wanted to watch what happened as well.
Hestia and Freya were entranced watching the grand battle from my falna's point of view and I could almost feel how tense they felt when I started fighting Alfia.
"Jake you should have just let Loki's Familia fight her..." Hestia said obviously displeased, and I could feel her inscribing the changes upon my soul as they finished watching the record of my falna.
I was a bit surprised Freya wasn't the one to say that with her history, but she seed to be able to hear my thoughts as she spoke. "Oh, don't worry Jake I still hate Loki, but I have much more important things to than mourning my lost Familia."
Alright fair enough, preggo and mildly yandere Freya only wants , makes sense.
"I have plenty of reasons not to kill off the Loki Familia." I mumbled making Hestia snort.
"Yeah, wanting to create a cute little half elf certainly isn't one of them. huh?" She prodded suggestively.
I could only nod as saying otherwise would be a lie, but either way I wasn't grilled any farther as i could feel slapping on the Falna paper to put my stats and stuff onto.

Even after the falna was given to and I could feel the expectant eyes on like they expected to whip a whole new world out of my pants like it was nothing...
"So have you girls had lunch yet." I asked cheerily making Hestia sputter at my left field question and Freya just roll her eyes at .
Seeing Hestia building up steam at ssing with her I cald her down. "I don't know just yet how this skill works and how to entirely use it or whether it's even safe for you both to be within it."
Freya and Hestia grinned, and I was reminded that Deities ca here to this lower world for entertainnt not just to help the poor mortals living here. "Just show us sothing Jake co oooonnn..." Hestia begged shaking my arm like a spoiled girl and it was only Freya's pride that prevented her from doing the sa.
"Fine let's go do this upstairs and both of you stay near Ryuu and Aisha in case anything happens." I sighed seeing no way either than complying seeing how determined the two were not to ntion I knew the other girls would be on my case as well.
