The Monster Festival is very lively and has been held for many years. It is held once a year by the Ganesha familia and the guild.
On the surface, it is a huge festival, but in fact it is a plan made by Ouranos and Ganesha to integrate Xenos.
Using the Monster Festival, adventurers and residents on the ground will gradually accept the existence of monsters.
This will lay the foundation for the emergence of Xenos in the future, and let adventurers and residents accept them as much as possible.
Over the years, the Monster Festival has integrated into the lives of Orario residents and adventurers.
Many people are no longer so scared when they see monsters. Of course, crazy monsters are still scary.
The Monster Festival is held on East Street.
East Street was very crowded early in the morning, with people bustling around.
The whole street was almost full. There were countless vendors on both sides and in the middle.
The aroma was fragrant from all directions.
The whole street was covered with various decorations, including colorful ribbons and beautiful flowers, which added a bit of splendor compared to usual days.
Leon and Hestia walked in the crowd. Hestia held two different snacks in her hands and ate them happily.
Behind Hestia, Leon held some more snacks in his hands, all of which were bought by Hestia. Hestia had thrown the rest to Leon after eating one.
"Speaking of which, do you really not need me to lead your newly recruited member in the upper floors for a few days?"
Leon chewed the snacks and asked Hestia.
Although he is now active in the middle floors, he can still spare a few days to help and guide Belle.
"No, no."
"Don't bother with this kind of thing. Let the child slowly hone herself."
Hestia refused without hesitation.
"Of course, if possible, I will bring her over at night, and you can guide her a little on how to fight, okay?"
Although she rejected Leon's proposal, Hestia made a request.
Hestia didn't want to delay Leon because of herself.
However, if possible, Hestia hoped that Leon could give a little guidance to the first member of her familia.
"That's no problem. You can bring her over anytime when I'm in the library."
Leon would naturally not refuse Hestia's request. Given their relationship, this kind of thing is a piece of cake.
"Yeah, thank you very much." Hestia nodded and thanked him.
"There's no need for thanks between you and me." Leon smiled and replied.
"Okay, then I won't say it."
"By the way, Leon, I want to eat fried potato balls. I heard that there are new flavors. Let's go and have a look."
"Is it the store where you worked before? It's on North Street, right?"
"There are some here too. It is a chain store. There are stores on every street."
"Okay, let's go buy them."
"Hehe, then you will pay for everything today."
"No problem."
Holding Leon's hand, Hestia squeezed through the crowd and ran forward.
What the two didn't know was that on the second floor of a cafe on a street not far away, a group of three people were looking at them in surprise.
Loki said in disbelief, "If I'm not mistaken, that's Hestia, right?"
"She is holding hands with a mortal child?"
"Could it be that he is part of Hestia's familia?"
She had brought her beloved Ais to meet Freya today. The two were talking happily, but suddenly they saw Hestia and Leon running down below.
If Hestia's voice hadn't been so recognizable to her, she wouldn't have noticed it.
The other two, Freya and Ais, naturally turned around, seeing Leon and Hestia.
When Freya saw Leon, her violet pupils under the hood flickered slightly.
'Is this child from Hestia's familia?'
"Loki, Leon is not from the Hestia familia."
At this moment, Ais spoke.
This statement attracted the attention of Loki and Freya.
"Ais-tan, do you know that boy?" Loki turned around and asked Ais with narrowed eyes.
Freya's eyes also shifted to Ais. She was very concerned about Leon, but she had not found any information.
It seemed that Ais knew something about Leon.
Ais nodded and said, "I said before that we met him on our way back from the expedition. We had some words with him. The main god of Leon's familia is Lucifer."
"Loki, have you forgotten?"
"That's him."
Hearing Ais's answer, Loki suddenly realized.
'Lucifer?'
'It's a name I haven't heard of.'
After hearing what Ais said, Freya murmured in her heart.
Then she stood up and said goodbye to Loki, "Excuse me, Loki."
After that, Freya pushed the door and left.
"Eh? What's wrong with her? Why did she suddenly run away?" Loki was puzzled.
However, the next moment, Loki seemed to think of something and exclaimed.
"Eh!!"
"Are you asking me to pay the bill!!"
"Freya!!!"
Loki gritted her teeth.
Immediately, Loki shook her head and continued to look at Ais.
"Ais, what's the situation with the kid next to Hestia? Tell me in detail." Loki said.
"Okay."
