"Here, Lord Raven, say ahh~~"
Meteria picked up a piece of grilled meat and brought it to his lips.
Seeing this, Raven Eltharion opened his mouth and ate it in one bite.
"Raven-kun… Come on, open wide—ahh~" Hestia also joined in the feeding.
Without hesitation, Raven opened his mouth again.
Sitting beside Meteria, Alfia quietly ate her fruit.
After chewing for a while and swallowing, Raven finally spoke. "Lady Goddess."
"Tomorrow, I plan to go to the lower or deep floors of the Dungeon."
It was time to improve his strength and max out all his stats.
Ever since transmigrating here, Raven had been slacking off—a day exploring, then a day enjoying life in Orario. Living purely by his whims.
"Huh?" Hestia was startled. "You're heading to the deep floors this soon?"
"Yeah..." Raven thought for a moment and said, "Staying on the middle floors won't help me grow much."
"I have to go check out the lower or deep floors."
"Don't worry, I have Alfia and the others with me. It'll be absolutely safe."
"——Alright."
Hestia suddenly clung to his arm and said sweetly, "Raven-kun~~"
"You submitted all those documents to the Guild, right?"
Raven nodded slightly. "All done."
"Good." Hestia squinted her crescent-moon eyes. "Then tomorrow, your new title—just leave it to me."
"…Heehee~"
Hearing that, a trace of anticipation flashed through Raven's eyes.
However…
Given the current status and influence of the Hestia Familia—
At the Divine Assembly,
She would likely be seen as lower-tier.
Which meant… no say in decisions, and all naming rights would go to the other gods.
Thinking about this headache, Raven sighed silently.
He wasn't hoping for a super flashy title—just anything but something like "Newbie Adventurer."
…
The next day, morning.
This time, he slept in until 10 a.m.
Raven rubbed his eyes and slowly opened his drowsy gaze.
"Raven-kun… Good morning~"
Hestia greeted him warmly as she burrowed into his neck.
"Good morning, Lady Goddess." Raven patted her head.
Turning slightly, he added, "Good morning, Meteria, Alfia."
"Good morning, Lord Raven."
Lying beside him, Meteria suddenly leaned over—
And gave Raven a light kiss on the cheek like a dragonfly skimming water.
The blue ribbon resting against Raven's neck happened to catch the scene.
Hestia secretly gritted her teeth in jealousy.
D-Damn it!
She just kissed my Raven-kun right in front of me like it was nothing!
No way!
I'm going to kiss him too!
Raven-kun is mine!
She raised her head, reached out with her soft, pale hands, and cupped his face.
Before he could react—
Hestia's soft, moist lips pouted and pressed directly onto his.
"…Mmm, mm~"
So early in the morning…
Raven, who had just woken up, was utterly stunned.
His eyes slowly widened.
Meteria was shocked.
But…
She also picked up a few tricks.
After a long while, the goddess Hestia finally pulled away from Raven's lips, satisfied.
Smack.
Hestia blinked, smiling brightly. "Alright, no more staying in bed."
"Time to get ready and head to the conference~~"
"Raven-kun, wait for my good news~"
"Alright." Raven wiped his lips.
Only after cleaning the last glimmering speck from the corner of his mouth did he get up.
After watching the goddess leave, Raven thought to himself, Guess I'll go catch up with Amid first.
I've still got a ton of drop items in storage that haven't been sold yet.
As for expanding the Familia, Raven hadn't brought it up with the blue ribbon goddess yet.
There was no rush for now.
Even though he was already worth over a billion, Raven figured it was best to keep a low profile.
After all, he was already living quite comfortably.
There were still places in Orario he hadn't visited yet.
Like…
The pleasure district in the southeast.
That seductive fox Haruhime—Raven decided to act first and snatch her away.
…
Passing through West Main Street.
"Mr. Raven," Syr stopped him as usual.
Raven paused and turned his head.
Syr walked up with a shy smile and held out something hidden behind her back.
It was a small basket.
"Here~~" Syr said bashfully. "This is today's bento and some snacks, just for you."
"Syr, thanks." Raven accepted it.
Syr giggled and cheered him on. "Then, Mr. Raven, do your best today too~"
"——I will."
After leaving The Benevolent Mistress, Raven headed straight toward Northwest Street.
During the walk, he stored Syr's basket into his spatial inventory.
He arrived at the familiar Dian Cecht Familia pharmacy.
"——Long time no see, Miss Airmid."
"Mr. Raven, you still love to joke, I see."
Airmid's gentle and graceful voice echoed softly. "It's only been a few days…"
