Hestia smiled happily after being praised.
She also didn't expect that she could be so happy doing something like this, and it felt pretty good.
Then, Takumi started cooking.
Besides entertaining Hestia, he himself hadn't eaten anything for a day and was starting to feel hungry.
Since there were no other seasonings except salt, Takumi just made a few simple dishes.
Stir-fried bean sprouts in rabbit oil, stir-fried kelp, grilled rabbit skewers, and stewed rabbit meat.
"Hmm~! Tasty! I didn't expect it to be quite good. The rabbit meat is so tender and has a unique flavor."
"Indeed, this rabbit oil is quite fragrant when used for stir-frying, so don't overthink the flavor."
The taste was surprisingly good, so the two people who didn't have high expectations couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After eating, the two began to work again.
The main thing was to build fences to enclose the fields and the home.
Although it couldn't stop high-level monsters, it could prevent some small animals, snakes, rats, and the like from damaging the fields.
At the same time, Takumi thought for a while and dug a trench.
Because these trenches could later be converted into waterways to facilitate the irrigation of the fields.
This was accomplished very quickly with the help of Hestia's magical power to control objects through the air.
"Thank you so much, Hestia, for helping me so much. I will treat you with the best things next time you come."
Seeing that there was nothing else she could do to help, Hestia was ready to go back.
After all, she had been out for a long time, and maybe someone over there had noticed her absence and was looking for her.
Takumi said goodbye to her with some regret.
"Then it's settled. I will come again as soon as possible, and I will bring you some good things next time."
In front of the Dimension Gate, Hestia hugged the souvenirs given by Takumi and gave a thumbs up energetically.
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
Takumi also smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Then, Takumi watched Hestia walk into the dimensional door and disappear inside.
"Visitor." Recalling today's interaction with Hestia, Takumi sighed with his hands on his hips, looking at the sky, and said with a smile: "It's not bad either."
At this time, the system also popped up.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the reception of Hestia from the Lower World and receiving the reward: Magic Talent (Elven Royal Family)!"
As soon as the voice finished speaking, Takumi felt a general power flowing through his body.
If nothing else, this is the so-called magic power, right?
"My magic talent is not bad. If I remember correctly, my talent was quite poor, almost as if I had none at all. Now I have just made up for my shortcomings."
Takumi was quite satisfied with this reward.
Although the magic ability of the elves in the Lower World is not very good, it is not as strong as the falna magic.
But it is better than nothing.
Moreover, the talents of the elven royal family are quite strong. Look at Riveria and you will know.
"But system, why didn't you tell me when Hestia arrived? Or is there no warning when visitors arrive?"
The appearance of Hestia really caught him off guard. Fortunately, Hestia was not a bad person, so there was no problem. But if next time, the person who comes is a bad person and he doesn't know it, then it would be terrible. It would be troublesome and might bring disaster to the world.
In this regard, the system's answer was:
"Return to the host. There is a prompt in the system. However, the host was sleeping at the time and did not notice it. In fact, you also woke up because of the prompt."
"..."
This answer left Takumi not knowing how to complain for a while. He could only say: "You must definitely notify me next time. In a situation like this, you have to remind me again when I wake up."
"OK, the prompt rules have been updated."
Seeing this, Takumi felt relieved.
Because he didn't know how to use magic, he couldn't actually test it.
So Takumi didn't pay much attention, turned around and continued to work on the farm.
The land sown before had not been watered yet.
After finishing the watering, he still wanted to study the various uses of the universal tool.
As for Hestia, she has also returned to the Lower World.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar basement and recalling her experience with Takumi, she couldn't help but feel like she was in another world.
"Where have you been? What is that in your hand?"
"Wow!"
The sudden sound startled Hestia.
When she turned around, she found that it was Hephaestus, sitting on the sofa and looking at her faintly. She didn't expect to be caught. Hestia looked a little guilty inexplicably: "Hephaestus, when did you come?"
"Half an hour ago." Hephaestus crossed her arms and shrugged.
"Originally I just wanted to come and see how you were doing, but when I found you weren't there, I thought you were out, but I didn't expect..."
As she spoke, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Hestia critically: "What's going on with you? Why did you appear suddenly? You didn't use any divine power, how did you do it?"
"Uh... this is..."
Hestia hesitated for a moment, knowing who her friend was, and thought it would be okay to tell her, so she said, "I went to a very magical place."
She explained that she was worrying about how to attract familia members, and then she turned around and went to Takumi's place, got to know Takumi, and recounted what happened after spending most of the day there.
"Is there such a place?"
Hephaestus was also surprised for a while, and then suddenly became serious again.
"Hestia, please don't talk about this matter easily in the future."
"I'm okay, but you also know the personalities of other gods. Once you let them know about this, you should understand the consequences."
At that time, she feared all the gods in Orario would unite to force Hestia to hand over the secret. In that case, she would not be able to protect Hestia.
Hestia also nodded seriously after hearing this: "I see."
"Um." Hephaestus nodded with satisfaction.
Then she looked at the "souvenirs" in Hestia's hands.
The rabbit meat was ignored as she looked at the fur, tusks, and horns.
"These things..."
Hestia also knew that Hephaestus was an expert in materials, so she quickly handed the things over and asked her to help with the appraisal.
"The fur is okay. Although it has no special characteristics, it is of high quality and can be used to make good belts, gloves, and other things. Well, it's about ten thousand valis a piece."
"The fangs are somewhat magical and can be used as materials for magic items. Well, a pair of them would cost thirty thousand valis."
"As for the horns, although they are not magically conductive, they have good strength and plasticity. They are forging materials and cost about fifty thousand valis a pair."
"What?! It's so expensive!"
Hestia was shocked. She didn't expect that the things Takumi gave her so casually were so valuable.
Don't look at the weapons and equipment in the original series; they can easily cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and high-end ones can easily reach hundreds of millions.
But in terms of normal living expenses in Orario, fifty valis is enough for a full meal.
If one saves money, the maximum cost per day is only one hundred and fifty valis.
A month is only four thousand five hundred, and a year is just over fifty thousand.
The things Takumi gave her now include sixty thousand for furs, three hundred and thirty thousand for tusks, and five hundred and fifty thousand for horns!
A total of 890,000 valis!
