"Are you looking for clan adventurers? Want to join my family? ”

The double-ponytailed little Lori with big breasts looked at the three of Yuriko Ichigo with expectant eyes.

A pair of insect tentacles-like potato ball headdresses swayed back and forth on her head, and the attracted Flandorow stretched out her little hand.

Yuriko gently shook Fran's hand, looked at little Lori and asked, "You are also an adventurer?" ”

"What a faux pas!"

Little Lori proudly crossed her hands on her hips and straightened her chest.

The plump Oupai swaying up and down once again shattered Yuriko's fragile heart.

"I'm — god Hestia! Join my family! ”

God?

For the fact that a little Lori who sells potato balls claims to be a god, Yuriko Ichiba, Yui, and Flandrew are not too surprised - Gensokyo and a pair of god sisters have no sense of existence.

"Yo! Is the god pulling adventurers to join again? ”

"This time, it's a girl as cute as the gods!"

"Hahaha! Come on, God-sama!! ”

The small vendors around them burst into good-natured laughter when they saw this scene.

Hestia stomped her little foot a little shyly, and then looked at the three of them with anticipatory and apprehensive eyes.

Well, judging from the attitude of the people around her, it seems that she is a god who gets along very well.

"If you join my sister's family, will you be able to go there for an adventure?"

Pointing in the direction of the towering Tower of Babel in the center of the city, Flandrew asked in a sweet voice.

The dungeon, just below the Tower of Babel.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Flandorow seemed to have a tendency to join, Hestia didn't care that it was just a little Lori.

[--Anyway, there is no one in the family except me now]

Anyway, let's pull people in first and think about the rest of the story!

And yet—

"Yui Yui, let's join!"

Before Hestia could send out another invitation. Flandoro proposed to join herself.

"Huh? Want to join? But this god doesn't look very reliable......"

"Sister, it's not unreliable."

"Fran, you say Sister Remi is crying?"

"Hmph, anyway, my sister will only go to Sakiya!"

"Hee-hee, is Fran eating Sakiya's vinegar?"

"Only, not yet!"

In front of everyone, on the street, the two little Loli fought without any scruples.

"W-That? How many guests? ”

Hestia looked at the two little loli in embarrassment. I began to wonder if it was the right decision to invite them into the family.

Anyway, such two cute loli's don't look like adventurers.

"Ahh I'm sorry! ”

Seeing Hestia's embarrassed appearance, Yui waved her hands in a panic and bowed in apology.

"Can we join my sister's family?"

"Yes!"

Hestia, who also felt that the three of them were not very reliable, agreed a little brokenly.

[Anyway, there is no one in the family now, just pull a few people in]

"Then it's decided!"

Turning her head, Yui looked at Yuriko Ichiko: "No problem, Sister Yuriko?" ”

Thinking of the attitude of the ordinary people around him towards this god just now, Yuriko Ichibana nodded in agreement.

If she is a god who is easy to get along with, it is also good to join her family and have a foothold for the time being.

"Oh yes!! My Hestia clan has finally joined the adventurers!! ”

Seeing that the three of them really agreed, the busty Lori jumped up excitedly, but accidentally knocked over the stove under the stall.

The charcoal burning inside the stove hits the magic stone lighter. And then—

"Boom !!"

The whole stall blew up.

After the smoke passed, looking at Hestia, whose little face had turned black, Yui and Flandrew looked at each other silently.

Were they really the right decision?

◇

Hestia, who accidentally blew up the stall, and after brazenly apologizing to the owner of the shop where she works, finally got a request to call it a day early and go home - of course, because she blew up the stall, this month's salary is gone.

Following Hestia, Yuriko Ichigo, one by one, led two little loli through the lively streets.

Walk through a bustling street and through a narrow lane. Took a few turns.

When the hustle and bustle disappeared completely, the crowd also came to the end of the road.

"It's here! I'm staying here for the time being! In the future, this will be the foothold of our family! ”

Hestia said.

“……”

Look up at the building in front of you. The three were silent.

Built in the deepest part of this completely unpopular path is a dilapidated church.

The building, which was originally built to show respect for the gods, has fallen into a dilapidated state.

On the outside, there are traces of broken and peeling stone everywhere. It is easy to make people feel a faint sorrow that has disappeared from people's memories after many years.

Flandoro nodded her lips with one hand and tilted her head to look at the stone statue of the goddess at the top of the front hallway, which was completely tattered and had lost half of her face.

"Is that it?"

"Is it really possible to live here?"

Yui asked distressedly.

Yuriko frowned dissatisfied. As a maid, she would never allow her eldest lady to live in such a bad place - especially if she had the conditions to live better.

"That...... Because my family actually has no one but the gods, I ...... Hey! ”

At this point, Hestia couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell the truth.

"Still. If we work together, the future will be better! ”

After speaking, she looked at the three of them apprehensively.

"Is there no one else but you?"

Yuriko asked.

"Yes, yes!"

Hestia bowed her head.

[Are you going to be rejected by the children again?] Well...... Anyway, I'm used to it, I'm just a poor god who can't find a family.]

"That's just right!"

Yuriko said this.

"That's right, and sure enough, I was still rejected—huh? Oops!! ”

Hestia looked up suddenly, looking at Yuriko in surprise.

Putting her hands on the heads of the two little Lori, Yuriko said with a smile: "I said that it's right, there is no one else in the family to save a lot of trouble, if the gods don't mind, how about we arrange the accommodation?" ”

"Oh oh! Really, really? ”

Hestia rushed to Yuriko with a smoke, her hands clenched in small fists on her chest, and she looked at Yuriko on tiptoe with glowing eyes.

[Oh! Is it finally time for my Hestia to come and go?]

Seeing through Hestia's mind at a glance, Yuriko laughed secretly, and then looked at the dilapidated church in front of her.

It seems that this god is not doing very well.

"So, let's go find a better place to live first, and then we'll come and pick up your belongings."

"No problem, no problem!!"

Hestia, who had finally enjoyed the care brought by the members of the family, nodded with tears in her eyes. (To be continued......)
