Chapter-100
---------------------
After saying farewell to the children and their caretaker, Yuno and Syr both go out of the orphanage since it is already late
"Thank you very much for today," Syr said as she expressed her gratitude towards Yuno for accepting her selfish request even though he was the one who wanted to repay her
"It's fine I also liked those kids" Yuno replied to Syr since this was not much compared to what she had given him, also the fact that even though he wasn't able to go to the dungeon, he still spent time with the children wasn't bad at all
Not to mention he was able to know a new side of Syr which he was never aware of, even though he still doesn't know of the fact that her soul is so different then others
But at least he got to know some clues regarding how she obtained that artefact which she had given Yuno previously even though the only clue she gave was that the person who gave her this artefact was extremely rich
Even though this clue might not be that big of a clue, but at least it is better than nothing, not to mention that clue enough to make Yuno guess that few people might have given her that's an artefact
After talking for a while, they started to walk back to their own separate ways after saying goodbye to each other since it was already late now
Yuno felt Syr wanted to say something more but she couldn't as Yuno was able to sense her regret Still he didn't say anything more because he knew even if he said something then surely that would pressure Syr more
So instead he decided to stay silent still he couldn't help but think why Syr still hesitated to talk to him even after they spent a whole day together and he didn't think he did anything to make her worry about him
'Well she is always like that' Yuno inwardly said in his mind as he thought that Syr was always like that and realised that one day might not be enough for her to become open with him
"It's fine, we might get chances like these in the future Yuno thought this in his mind as he remembers he told Syr that he would go with her if she next time needed him to go with her in the orphanage to play with the kids
In this Sye happily accepted his offer without any hesitation, so Yuno thinks they might get chances like these in future
Today not only Syr felt regret but Yuno felt regret as he didn't have any chance to go inside the Dungeon to collect Magic stones for Units even though he could go right now
But it's already dark now and if he didn't return now then surely both Lili and Hestia would get very worried for him, not to mention that even though he didn't do much compared to what he usually does in dungeons still he is mentally exhausted, so he also wanted a rest
The next thing he wanted to do was go back into the church and lie on the bed to have a good rest and with those thoughts in his mind, he quickly sped up his steps towards the church
...
Back at church…
"I am back" Yuno said as he reached back to Church and entered his home at least for now since Hestia Familia's new manor is under construction by Freya
Even though they had no idea how long construction was going to be for but especially Hestia hoped that it wouldn't be for long since they were all excited about their new home
"Is Hestia-sama okay?" Yuno couldn't help but say this after feeling how Tired Hestia was, not to mention he could also tell that she was feeling very depressed right now
Making him curious about what happened to her while he was away since he remembered how Hestia was following him in the morning in such a sneaky way but suddenly she goes away from him after meeting some people he is already familiar with
Even though he wanted to ask Hestia why she was following him in such a sneaky way but he chose not to after witnessing Hestia's current state since he felt it might be good to ask her this or any other question at this moment
"I don't know, she has been like this from the moment she came back here" Lili replied to Yuno's question as she came towards him while holding Beli in her arms
"When she comes back?" Yuno asked this question with curiosity since he already knew Hestia was outside like him, so he wanted to know when she would come back
"She just came back a few hours before you," Lili said as she answered Yuno's question, in the morning when she realised Hestia had gone out
She was surprised but soon she thought that Yuno and Hestia might have gone together since both of them were missing when she woke up in the morning or afternoon
So she thought they both must have gone together somewhere but looking at them coming separately, she realised she was wrong
Even though she was puzzled about Hestia's condition, as she asked Hestia some questions but Lili didn't get straight answers to the questions she asked
"By the way, where have you been?" Lili asked this question with curiosity since he was gone all day when he told her that he was going to take a day off from the dungeon
Not only that but Lili could also smell the unpleasant scent of women from Yuno making her sure that Yuno didn't go alone
"I was with Syr" Yuno replied to her question in a plain tone while realising that Hestia hadn't told Lili where he was gone since she was also out and considering the current state of Hestia, he was pretty sure she didn't answer any questions of hers after coming back
"WAIT!!?! ALONE WITH HER?!? FOR WHOLE DAY!?!" Lili asked these questions in an out-loud tone as she grabbed Yuno's shoulders meanwhile Beli who was previously in her arms flew somewhere else
She shakes his entire body and even though Yuno's height is considered not short but right this moment, Lili is taller than him after her transformation
Not only that her strength has also increased a lot compared to her previous old self which is the reason she managed to shake his entire body without any problem
*Nod* *nod*
Yuno nodded his head as he couldn't understand why Lili was behaving like this just after knowing who he was with
'Does she not like Syr?' Yuno inwardly asked this question after witnessing such abnormal behaviour from her, but he quickly shook his head dismissing that idea since according to what he knew about Syr
He understands someone with Syr's personality is definitely not unlikeable, not only is she kind to everyone including strangers but also she helps everyone best of her abilities
'Unless…' Yuno thought this as he remembered how weirdly suspicious Syr's soul was even though he still had no idea why that was
Still, he doesn't think Lili can see others' souls otherwise she would have told him like she told every change that occurred in her body
'Maybe it's her natural instinct' Yuno inwardly thought in her mind since he knows how Lili has instincts like animals making her know of upcoming possible dangers
It's not limited to dangers as she could also use this to detect treasures, so Yuno thought this might be her natural instinct to not get close to Syr
"You are worrying over nothing" Yuno replied he getting out of Lili's grip with ease as he moved to change his clothes since he thought Lili was worrying over nothing because he got to know Syr's character today
Lili was stunned after seeing how effortlessly he got away from her hands and also at the fact that he was defending Syr
"Wait-!!" Lili said this in a loud voice after seeing him going away since she wanted to ask more questions about that topic as she followed him without giving any break to Yuno
...…
After a few days…
Inside the Dungeon, right now as usual Lili and Yuno are both hunting in the dungeon even though at this moment most hunting is done by Lili
*Phew~*
'Finally, they both are now calmed down' Yuno couldn't help but say this while releasing a sigh of relief since the past few days were full of trouble for Yuno
As not only Lili but also Hestia are continuously asking him questions about that day giving Yuno a headache, he still doesn't understand why they are so fixated on the fact that he went with Syr alone for the entire day
Even after calmly answering each one of their questions still it wasn't enough to calm both of them down as after getting frustrated, he couldn't help but ask them 'what they wanted to calm down'
