In short, all the information shows that the Hestia Familia is about to rise because it has recruited outstanding members.
But although these members are treasures, they are also very troublesome.
Especially Takumi.
This is a master who is decisive in killing and very difficult to deal with.
Everyone who wants to do something with the Hestia Familia in the future must think carefully before doing so.
At this point, the turmoil in Orario ended hastily.
Just as quickly as it came, it disappeared.
Only Loki, after knowing this, was depressed for several days and kept muttering, "That dwarf is really lucky."
In response, everyone in the Loki Familia cast a look of contempt on her.
After all, this goddess had been complacent about her own luck before. (Having recruited Riveria, Finn, and the others.)
Now that she saw others being lucky, she was just cursing, proving how double-standard she could be.
As for Freya.
She just glanced at the situation and stopped paying attention.
Those whose souls were stained with vice did not attract her attention, at least for the time being.
Let's go back to Takumi.
It was the evening of another day. After Takumi finished teaching Haruhime, the three Kocho sisters also came back from the dungeon.
They brought back good news to Takumi.
"Goliath is going to respawn? Are you sure?"
Kanae nodded and said seriously: "I'm sure. Everyone on the 18th floor said so. At the same time, many adventurers are also stranded on the 18th floor."
"Do you know the specific time?"
"Rivira Town management announced that it is expected to be noon tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
...
Seeing that Takumi was excitedly arranging the itinerary, Kanae was a little hesitant to speak.
Takumi also noticed something strange about her and asked: "What's wrong?"
Before Kanae could speak, Shinobu rushed to answer: "When we were coming back, news suddenly broke in Rivira Town that a subjugation team has already arrived."
"Oh? Do you know which Familia's team it is?"
Takumi was not surprised to hear that someone had already scheduled the Goliath hunt.
After all, the Floor Boss is an important resource in Orario.
Whether it is the huge magic stone it drops or the prestige of killing the Floor Boss, there is a lot of profit for any Familia.
So it is not surprising that someone made a reservation. What Takumi cares about more is who the team belongs to.
If it is not a major Familia, then he will take the kill. Anyway, they will be outmatched by then, those people wouldn't dare say anything, and there is no need to stop and argue.
But if it is a large Familia, then Takumi has to seriously consider whether it is worth snatching this Goliath.
"I heard the adventurers discussing it, and it seems to belong to the Ganesha Familia," Kanae replied.
Takumi couldn't help feeling a little surprised when he heard this.
"Ganesha? Aren't they Orario's peacekeepers? Why do they still go to the dungeon to take resources? Can they spare the manpower?"
Hestia explained: "They don't live solely by maintaining law and order. Although there is funding from the Guild, it is impossible to support the entire Familia."
"Furthermore, they also want to improve their strength, so naturally they have to go to the dungeon."
"As for manpower, the Guild will arrange for other Familias to take over their shifts."
"That's how it is," Takumi nodded.
"Master Takumi, do we still want to go?" Kanae asked.
In fact, she didn't want Takumi to go.
After all, this is the Ganesha Familia, the main force of Orario's security.
If Takumi goes to take their resources, wouldn't this lead to an official conflict with Orario's peacekeepers? If so, would they even be able to stay in Orario?
"Go! Why wouldn't we go?"
"The Floor Boss doesn't belong to their Familia, so why can't I go? When the time comes, everyone will compete based on their strength."
Unlike Kanae, Takumi doesn't care about the Ganesha Familia's reputation at all.
In fact, it is better that it is the Ganesha Familia.
Because of their nature, there is no need to worry about retaliation later.
After all...
You are a law enforcer. If you seek personal revenge, how can you convince the public in the future?
Kanae: "..."
Kanae wanted to persuade Takumi, but Hestia stood up first and, changing her past style, expressed her support for Takumi's actions.
"That's right, everyone should just depend on their abilities."
At the end, she added: "But Takumi, you have to be careful and don't just grab it by force, otherwise they will really pursue you afterward."
You can take it, but you have to be clever about the method and don't leave any evidence to get caught.
Takumi nodded: "Well, I know what is appropriate."
The matter was settled. Seeing this, Kanae didn't say anything else.
...
Early the next morning.
Takumi got up early and made preparations. After breakfast, he set off with the three Kocho sisters.
On the way, his appearance also attracted the attention of other adventurers.
"It's him! The mysterious Takumi of the Hestia Familia!"
"Why did he come out today?"
"Who knows, but something must be happening. Spread the word quickly."
Except for the day Takumi showed his face to outsiders, he has been reclusive and has almost never appeared, giving people a sense of mystery.
But now, Takumi's reappearance instantly drew the focus of all parties in Orario.
"Are they going to the dungeon?"
"Wait! Is Goliath scheduled to respawn today?"
"Damn it! Is he going to challenge Goliath?"
"Let me add that Ganesha's subjugation team went down yesterday."
"Hiss! Big news!"
Under the gaze of the adventurers, Takumi took the three sisters into the dungeon.
Then, many people followed.
Takumi ignored the reactions of outsiders.
He opened the way in front, leading Kanae and the others quickly toward the lower floors, and in a blink of an eye, they left the following adventurers behind.
However, before they reached the 17th floor, a small accident happened.
At an entrance to the next floor, they encountered another team at the same time.
On the opposite side was another team of four.
A gentle, high-elf elder sister with green hair and green eyes, wearing all green, with pointed ears.
A girl elf with orange hair, blue eyes, and white stockings reaching her knees.
A blonde swordsman girl with gold eyes.
An energetic girl with revealing clothes and wheat-colored skin.
"Hm?!" x8
Both parties were walking in a hurry and almost collided at the corner.
Fortunately, everyone was strong and stopped in time, so no accident occurred.
"Huh? It turns out to be you."
Amidst the embarrassment, the energetic girl looked at Kanae and the others and said with some surprise.
"Do you know her?"
Takumi looked at Kanae with some surprise.
Kanae shook her head: "I don't know her, but I seem to have seen her somewhere."
