"Unbelievable, the mighty Ishtar Familia was actually defeated head-on by the Hator Familia..."
"I heard that Freya Familia was involved in this War Game again."
"No wonder... It's a pity, I was really satisfied with the new services launched by the Ishtar Familia. I wonder who will take over the pleasure quarter after Goddess Ishtar is sent back to Heaven."
"Hopefully, the pleasure quarter can continue to operate, otherwise, I really don't know where I can spend the valis I earned in the dungeon."
"I heard that the limited-time item [Momotaro Rice Ball] held by the Ishtar Familia has not been used yet. I wonder where it went."
"...Sigh, I feel like too many changes have happened in Orario since the appearance of limited-time items. I almost don't recognize it anymore."
"Who says otherwise..."
Leaving all the flying dragons to the Astrea Familia and Artemis Familia in the Great Tree Labyrinth.
Hestia and her group used the Warp Gate to return to Orario first.
Walking on the familiar streets, they could hear adventurers discussing the Ishtar Familia everywhere.
"Ah, I suddenly feel like my life has become very dark. Why do I have the urge to die..."
Lu Yuan, with his short, spiky black hair, a white staff coat, and a black tie around his neck, appeared in Hestia's group as an adult. Listening to the adventurers' discussions, his eyes were dull and his expression was decadent.
His appearance was comparable to that of Lily when she saw Bell turned into a girl.
But that's understandable.
The collapse of the Ishtar Familia meant that his idea of lying down and making money had failed again.
His previous inside and outside arrangements were equivalent to working for nothing.
In this situation, anyone would be upset.
"Yuan! What are you talking about! What will I do if you die!!"
Hehe, it's great that the Ishtar Familia is gone.
That way, her Yuan will no longer have a reason to visit such messy places in the future.
Hestia puffed out her cheeks, comforting Lu Yuan while secretly rejoicing in her heart.
Of course, while rejoicing, Hestia's heart actually carried a great deal of regret.
Because last night, in the Great Tree Labyrinth, her plan to secretly take a bath in the spring was intercepted by Artemis and her group.
The collapse of the Ishtar Familia can be said to be a rare piece of good news that Hestia has heard recently.
"I suspect the world is targeting me, preventing my plan to make money! But! Hehe, my fate is up to me! Wait, with my new persona's ability to make money, I will definitely be able to realize my dream of lying down again!"
Ignoring Hestia's comfort, Lu Yuan said with gritted teeth, his fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
Everything is just a little bit of hardship.
He is absolutely serious about making money! Even the world can't stop him!
"Um, Brother Yuan, can I really change back in the future?" In the team, Bell twisted her body, shyly avoiding the fiery gazes of the surrounding adventurers, and then asked in a sweet tone.
She still wanted to become the person she used to be.
"It depends on luck." Lu Yuan waved his hand, suddenly remembering his failed plan, his expression becoming decadent again.
The spring that turns people into women exists in the world.
But the spring that turns people into men...
Sorry.
Lu Yuan didn't know there was such a thing.
Perhaps, he can only wait for other methods to turn Bell back in the future.
Well, provided she doesn't get used to this body.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan is really afraid that Bell might be reluctant to change back in the future...
Just like a saying goes.
Habit is the most terrible thing, it can even change a person's personality and cognition.
"Okay then..." Bell's doubts were not resolved, her expression was listless, and she instantly became as decadent as Lu Yuan.
From a distance.
It was as if two zombies with drooping arms had appeared on the streets of Orario.
"Hey, you two!" Looking at the synchronized expressions of the two, Alfia took a deep breath, and stretched out her hands at lightning speed.
She grabbed Lu Yuan and Bell's ears, one on each side.
"Cheer me up!!" Alfia roared.
Scaring the surrounding adventurers.
"Bell..."
"Brother Yuan..."
"Wuwuwu, we are really miserable!!" With their ears pulled, the two hugged each other, almost crying.
Clearly, the two were the first adventurers of the Hestia Familia, but at this moment they were extremely frustrated because of their respective pains.
"Bastard! Bell! You're too close to Yuan! Get away!"
"Bell-sama! Please pay attention to your image, you are a girl now!"
Seeing Lu Yuan and Bell hugging each other.
Hestia and Lily screamed at the same time, rushed forward at lightning speed, grabbed the two by the collars, and walked backwards.
For a time.
Because of Lu Yuan and Bell's farce, the atmosphere on the street became inexplicably cheerful.
The news about the Ishtar Familia was suppressed.
......
Time passed.
It had been a day since Artemis and Astrea Familia returned.
After reporting the specific events of this mission to the Guild.
Artemis was unexpectedly not punished, but was understood.
Even, because of dealing with the Scorpio sealed by the ancient Great Spirit, Andarice, the Artemis Familia received a huge sum of money.
Subsequently.
Hestia had another neighbor...
"I said!! I don't welcome visits, I don't want too in-depth Familia member exchange meetings! Can you understand? Artemis, and Astrea!"
"Also, Yuan is mine, refuse to rent him out!"
Hestia's residence.
In the hall for entertaining guests.
Hestia shouted at her two visiting friends in a huff.
A good day actually started with a visit from two god-friends.
This made Hestia's mood a little bad.
After all, she knew too well what these two god-friends were thinking.
"Is that so? But, I came today at Orion's invitation. If you're talking about visiting, I'm visiting him today, not you, Hestia!"
Putting down the teacup in her hand, Artemis did not show the slightest anger because of Hestia's words, but instead opened her mouth unhurriedly.
"Me too, Lu Yuan said there was something important that needed my Familia's help, so he asked me to come over and talk about it." Astrea looked at Hestia with a smile.
"Ha!!? Impossible! Yuan should look for me if he has something to do! How could he look for you! Don't even think about fooling me!" Hestia crossed her arms, turned her head away, and said disdainfully.
She didn't believe the nonsense of these two friends.
The two must be taking the opportunity to harass Lu Yuan!
"Astrea-sama, Artemis-sama, you've arrived. I was just about to discuss the three major Familia expedition with you..." Walking out of the room upstairs, Lu Yuan greeted the two goddesses smoothly.
At the same time, Hestia froze because of Lu Yuan's words.
