Just as Hayasaka Ai and the others were exchanging their money, Lin Feng also arrived.
This couldn't be helped; they didn't have any means of quick communication between them at the moment. How nice it would be if they had an instant messaging method.
"Little Ai!"
"Lord Lin Feng!"
Hayasaka Ai, who had just finished exchanging the Valis and was putting the money away, heard the voice of her patron deity and quickly looked toward the source of the sound.
"Little Ai, Little Megumi, Kanawo, let's go! We have an appointment tonight."
"Lord Lin Feng... I think I saw him here this afternoon at the Exchange Office."
After Lin Feng left the Adventurer's Guild with the three lovely girls, Eina, who was standing nearby, finally registered what happened.
She tilted her head in confusion. Gods had no use for coming to the Exchange Office! They neither entered the Dungeon nor were they allowed to—it was a forbidden act.
Could it be... Eina quickly connected the dots but immediately shook her head in denial.
Sitting at her desk, Eina pondered for several minutes but could not figure out the reason, so she had to temporarily give up.
After all, her primary responsibility was adventurers, not gods.
"Waaah!!! Is this Junior-kun's adorable Familia? They're absolutely too cute!!!"
Without needing to guess, the only one who would call him "Junior-kun" was that blue-ribbon goddess, Hestia.
She instantly jumped up from her seat, her eyes shining with a gold-flecked, covetous gaze. Her hands were already hovering in the air. If Lin Feng hadn't been blocking her, she probably would have directly snatched the nearest one, Kanawo, into a hug.
"Wuwu, how come Junior-kun can find such adorable children, and I..."
But then Hestia remembered that these three cute followers did not belong to her, Hestia, but to the "Junior-kun" next to her, and she immediately became dejected again.
This blockhead goddess was always making a fuss; spending too much time with her might cause a heart attack.
"Hehe! Senior Hestia will definitely find followers very soon too."
Of course, this was just Lin Feng's consolation. In the original work, if Hestia hadn't been lucky enough to pick up a red-eyed rabbit, her Familia might not have been established so smoothly.
"I will try hard! I will definitely find a wonderful child!"
Having said that, Hestia picked up the wine glass placed beside her and took a large gulp of beer.
"Senior Hestia, if you need any help down the line, you can tell me."
"Wow! Really?! Thank you, Junior-kun!"
Hestia looked at him with great surprise upon hearing Lin Feng's words.
Although the two of them had formed an alliance, Lin Feng already had three Familia members, while she, Hestia, still didn't know where her followers were.
Even if Lin Feng hadn't brought it up, she was already unhappy inside, feeling like she was just freeloading off Junior-kun.
Ryuu, the female elf who worked tirelessly in the tavern, would occasionally cast her gaze toward Lin Feng while busy. The other waitresses, except for Syr, were quite strong, and they naturally noticed Ryuu's unusual behavior today.
As for why Syr noticed, it was because she tended to slack off!
"Ryuu? Have you fallen for that guy named Lin Feng?"
When Ryuu finally finished her work and was resting near the bar, Syr, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, whispered the question into her ear.
After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Feng and the three girls walked Hestia back to her dilapidated church before heading in the direction of their own home.
"Little Ai, what floor did you clear today, and how do you feel?"
"The third floor. I feel that Little Megumi and I have made quite a bit of progress. We'll strive to try the fourth floor tomorrow!"
On the way home, the group of four walked through the relatively quiet residential area. Lin Feng's question made Hayasaka Ai answer with visible happiness.
"That's good!"
"Actually... I went to the Dungeon today too."
Lin Feng paused slightly after mentioning this before continuing.
"What?!"
All three girls present were extremely surprised. Although Kanawo didn't shout, her stunned expression clearly showed that the girl was in a state of shock.
"Lord Lin Feng, how could you go to the Dungeon! What if—"
When a god suffers a fatal injury in the Lower World, they are forcibly ascended to Heaven and may not descend again.
"It's alright. I have an ability to copy one of your abilities, so... my strength is very high."
"Phew... That's right! I heard that if a god enters the Dungeon, an anomaly will occur!"
Hearing this, Hayasaka Ai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly remembered something and spoke again.
"That? It's not effective on me. My divine aura has been perfectly blocked, so the Dungeon cannot sense me."
Lin Feng knew that this was just Hayasaka Ai and the three girls' concern for him, so he explained once more.
"I forgot to tell you, when we get back tonight, I will summon a new companion for you."
Lin Feng dropped another bombshell piece of news.
"A new companion?"
This was a complete triple-hit, leaving Hayasaka Ai and the others a little dizzy.
