ASC: This will take event 3 weeks before the main story.
After walking for hours, Yuuya finally reached his destination.
To say he is surprised is an understatement, he is amazed.
"Orario is much bigger than I thought it was." Said Yuuya as he stared at the outer wall of Orario.
Putting that thought aside for now, he proceeds to the main gate to finally enter Orario.
After some questions, he paid the gate fee and finally he is in.
One of the things that surprises him the most is that despite not knowing the language of this world; he is still able to read and understand the signs and text. This includes holding out a conversation. Which he is thankful for.
[That's right, thank me you peasant.]
'shut up.' Yuuya's reply in his mind to the system.
"Orario sure is enormous even for a city." Yuuya commented.
He the started to look around him.
"Well it is quite late. I'm kinda hungry and would like to try the food in Mia's pub. However, knowing Syr is basically Freya in disguise, I would like to make my presence unknown for now. I can't risk the chance that she might sense that something about me is off." He whispered to himself.
With that said, he continues wondering the place. Looking for a place to eat and rest for the night.
After a while, he finally founds a place to settle in for today, which also has what he deemed has a reasonable enough of a price. In the same time, also serves food.
And so, after eating his meal, he decided to lay in his bed and rest. After all, walking for that long could definitely tire someone especially without any company.
As sleep slowly consumes Yuuya, he kept thinking about everything that he left behind. In his mind, he is hoping that maybe one day, he could return to his world.
On the same time, he is thinking about that thing. A memory he somehow forgets even though he remember everything until now.
Judging that it isn't important for now, he puts it in the very corner of his mind. Just as sleep finally took him.
.
.
.
The next day dawned. Yuuya being a trained soldier himself, is used to waking up earlier than most people.
But after reminding himself that he did not have anything to do anyways and if there was, he decided that it could wait and continued sleeping.
Because he might not be physically exhausted but after what he goes through just yesterday, he needed that extra rest. Mental exhaustion is no joke after all. (Take care of ya selves y'all.)
After a bit more hours of sleeping, Yuuya decided he rested enough and got up his bed.
He thinks throughly to what to do for the day.
"Hmm, I should go and search for Hestia now. The earlier I could start on going to the dungeons, the better."
"Now I could be better off on trying my chances on Loki familia but nah, Finn and the others might sense something from me. Freya familia? With that woman in there? Yeah no."
"Sure they might sound like a better option than a Goddess that you could throw some valis at to the face and call it donating to charity; but just like the system said, my existence disturbs the world so yeah, I'm not (will) disturbing anymore of it."
With that in mind, Yuuya continues to do the things he need to before going to the abandoned Church. He takes his breakfast, took a bath, creates a new pair of clothes that closely the resembles Bell's clothe to not look weird, and finally took off.
It took him quite a long time to locate the place since he didn't exactly know where is the abandoned Church is located.
After asking for directions, he finally founds the place.
He goes in front of it, steeled his nerves, and finally called out.
"Is anybody home?"
Silence.
...
"Well I guess no."
Looking around and contemplating on what to do, he finds a good place to sit on and decides to wait for the Goddess.
"Think I'll wait for her then."
and so does he wait.
.
.
.
.
.
After five hours waiting and just zoning out, Yuuya felt a presence nearby.
He turned around and came face to face with Hestia, and he was dazzled. The same could be said to Hestia except she's more of 100% curious why this person is in front of her house.
'She looks gorgeous in personal than I imagined. That's a Goddess for you."
Without wasting anymore time, he began to speak.
"Are you perhaps the Goddess Hestia?"
"Yes I am, who are you and may I ask why you are here?" with a bit of anxiousness in her voice.
"Pardon me for the intrusion, the name is Yuuya Mitsukuji. You could just call me Yuuya, and I'm interested in joining in your familia."
"Wait really!?" said Hestia in disbelief that someone actually wants to join her familia.
"Yes. That is if you're still recruiting."
"Of course I am! Though, I... Uhm... Kinda poor you know? So I might not be able to provide much." Hestia stated looking a bit sad.
"Fine by me."
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"REALLY?!?"
"One more and I'm leaving."
"Wait no please! "
"Just kidding."
Hestia breathe a sigh relief for almost fumbling at for almost losing the first member of her familia.
"So? Am I in or what" Yuuya ask.
Hestia smiled.
"Welcome to the Hestia familia." Hestia happily replied while extending her hand for a handshake.
"The pleasure is all mine." Yuuya replied as he smiled and as he shakes Hestia's hand.
From that day on, the Hestia familia is created.
And it marks the beginning of everything. It marks the beginning of this story.
