After eating the barbecue that he had packed with Hestia, Leon returned to his bedroom.
In the bedroom, Leon didn't directly rest for once. Instead, he lied quietly on his bed, ready to see if he would get a mystery box now.
In the past three days, he has received a mystery box every night. If he receives it again today, then he can basically confirm a pattern.
Maybe he can get a mystery box every night.
However, even though Leon stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, and waited until the early morning, he still did not hear the familiar prompt sound.
"It seems that I guessed wrong."
After whispering, Leon slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After a few hours, Leon's biological clock made him wake up as usual.
Hestia woke up quite early today.
When Leon came out of the room after washing up, he saw that Hestia had woken up long ago. She had already packed up, and was in high spirits.
"You woke up quite early today." Looking at Hestia, Leon said with a smile.
Hestia said with a smile, "Ah, I had something to tell you last night, but it was too late, so I didn't."
"That's why I got up early today. What if you disappear again?"
"What's the matter?"
Leon continued to walk outside without stopping, asking at the same time.
"Hehe, I had gone to ask Hephaestus for help last night."
"If you want to buy equipment in the future, go to Hephaestus and tell my name. Hephaestus will give you the best equipment, and a discount."
Hestia said with her hands behind her back.
She was excitedly jumping up and down. Hearing this, Leon paused and stood there in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Leon stop, Hestia looked over with some confusion.
"Hestia, why are you so nice to me?"
Leon did not answer immediately, but stared at Hestia for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke.
Potions and equipment, these two things are absolutely indispensable for adventurers and Hestia is trying to help him in these regards.
Leon couldn't figure out why. The situation with Miach is understandable. Introducing him to Miach can also be regarded as bringing business to Miach. It's a win-win situation for both of him and Miach.
But it's different for Hephaestus. Hephaestus is not short of business.
Since Hestia was a freeloader, Hephaestus had driven her out, and was still angry with Hestia.
But now Hestia went to Hephaestus specifically for him and she succeeded.
You know, in the original timeline, although Hephaestus is Hestia's best friend, she didn't care about Hestia in this regard, and wanted her to be self-reliant.
It's obviously impossible for Hephaestus to agree to Hestia's request, but Hestia succeeded.
Leon wondered what Hestia had paid to help him. He was puzzled.
Why does Hestia help him so much?
He had clearly rejected Hestia's invitation to create a familia together before.
Hestia was also stunned when she heard what Morningstar had to say, and then a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Because I see the shadow of my past in you, Leon."
Hearing this, Leon seemed to remember something.
Hestia seemed to be a homebody. Since her birth, she had been staying alone in her temple, without any contact with anyone.
It was not until Hephaestus's appearance that Hestia gradually made connections. It seemed that his situation was a replica of Hestia's past.
Although he is no longer opposed to contact with other people, before Hestia had appeared, he had been alone and had no contact with others in this world (except the old elf).
After standing there in silence for a long time, Leon said thank you softly.
"Thank you, Hestia."
"You're welcome!"
Leon did not stay in the library for too long. After eating breakfast with Hestia, he left the library with Hestia's blessing.
"Be careful on the way! Leon."
Leon did not answer, but waved his hand. Then, he walked towards the Hephaestus familia's residence to get his sword.
After getting his weapon back, he walked towards the Tower of Babel.
However, when passing by the Hostess of Fertility, Leon was stopped.
"Adventurer, was the barbecue last night delicious?"
The gray-haired girl with a maid outfit said to Leon with a smile.
"... Delicious."
Leon nodded and replied.
The barbecue he had bought last night was indeed delicious.
However, Leon was a little speechless when he thought about Syr's cooking.
Her casual cooking is edible. But the food she makes in a serious mood can even bypass the abnormal resistance of an adventurer.
"That was made by Syr. Thank you for your affirmation, adventurer."
"By the way, Syr is called Syr, what is your name, adventurer?"
Hearing Syr's words, Leon felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, she had made it casually at that time. If she had put her heart into it, wouldn't he have been poisoned to death?
Even Ryuu and the others couldn't stand the lunch Syr had made carefully, how could he stand it?
Also, kudos to the protagonist Bell for surviving that. He has a golden heart and... a diamond stomach.
"My name is Leon Morningstar, please take care of me."
Facing Syr's chat, Leon didn't think too much, nor did he think that he was being targeted. He just replied with a smile.
After all, his World's Grace has a hidden function, and Freya can't see through him, and naturally won't target him.
After Syr took out a wrapped lunch box from behind her, Leon's face changed slightly.
"Leon-san, if you don't mind, please take this lunch box with you."
"I hope you will visit the Hostess of Fertility often in the future."
Looking at the smiling Syr, Leon's eyes slightly twitched.
'What's going on?'
