After leaving the Guild, Lynn brought Eina back to the Hestia Familia.
After the War Game ended, Lynn and the others moved out of the abandoned old church and made the Soma Familia's base the new headquarters of the Hestia Familia.
Because the Hestia Familia didn't have many people, the Soma Familia hadn't moved out either, and members of both Familias lived in the same courtyard.
Seeing Lynn return at this moment, many members of the Soma Familia on the road showed expressions of awe and cleared a path for him to pass.
" Lynn! You're back! "
Hestia, who was taking a walk in the courtyard, noticed the commotion and ran over.
" Huh? Isn't this Eina! "
After getting closer, Hestia noticed that there was another acquaintance following behind Lynn.
A few days ago, when Lynn received his Falna and formed the Hestia Familia, the two of them went to the Guild together.
Because of this, Hestia had also dealt with Eina a few times.
" Why did Eina come too? "
" Thanks to Lynn, I've been promoted. "
Eina looked at Lynn subtly and briefly introduced what had happened at the Guild not long ago.
" According to the Guild Master, I am now the commissioner assigned by the Guild to the Hestia Familia to assist you in renovating the restaurant and purchasing ingredients. "
" I see. "
Hestia suddenly realized.
She knew that Lynn had gone to the Guild for a level assessment and to negotiate the matter of the subordinate god.
Although Eina's situation was a bit unexpected, it was quite good to have an acquaintance helping out.
" There are still quite a few empty rooms on the second floor. Eina, you can choose one to use as a lounge later. "
" Then I will trouble you. "
Eina nodded.
Because of the nature of her new job, she would be traveling back and forth between the Guild and the Hestia Familia.
Having her own room to stay in would be much more convenient for her.
" By the way, Lynn. "
Just then, Hestia seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lynn again.
" Soma and I have finished the screening. "
" How is the situation? "
" There are 44 people that need to be dealt with. "
" Fewer than I expected. "
Lynn rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The screening Hestia mentioned referred to screening the members of the Soma Familia.
After reaching an agreement with Royman to recruit Soma as a subordinate god, the Soma Familia would become an affiliated Familia of the Hestia Familia.
According to the pre-prepared plan, Lynn would open a crash course to teach these people knowledge related to the service industry and improve their professional qualities.
When Hestia Restaurant officially opened, those who had been trained by Lynn and met the competency requirements would be assigned to work at the restaurant.
However, before starting the training, Lynn asked Soma and Hestia to conduct a screening of the Soma Familia members first.
Because of Soma's previous inaction, the members of the Soma Familia were of mixed quality.
Aside from victims like Liliruca, and ordinary members who went to the Dungeon to hunt monsters and earn money.
Within the Soma Familia, there were also some people who went to extremes to make money, secretly harming their companions.
If failing to resist the temptation of the divine liquor was a lack of willpower.
Then harming companions for money was simply a character issue.
Pests like this had to be cleared out.
" Harming companions is a serious crime. After we expel them from the Familia, let's send them to the Guild. "
Lynn looked at the Elf Maiden beside him: " I'll leave the contact with the Guild to you. "
" No problem. "
Eina nodded.
For Adventurers who committed such mistakes, the Guild would not talk about human rights.
After adding the matter of dealing with the Soma Familia members to her schedule, Eina began to discuss business.
" Lynn, Goddess Hestia, are you two planning to design the restaurant renovation plan yourselves, or will you contact people from other Familias for help? "
" Lynn, what do you think? "
Hestia kicked the ball to Lynn.
" Let's contact the Goibniu Familia. "
Lynn thought for a moment and made a decision.
The Goibniu Familia, like the Hephaestus Familia, was a forging-oriented Familia.
Although its popularity and size were far lower than the Hephaestus Familia, the equipment crafted by the Goibniu Familia was in no way inferior to the Hephaestus Familia.
The Goibniu Familia also handles building renovation and remodeling services; the Adventurers within are experts in the field of civil engineering, and their efficiency is extremely high.
Rather than wasting time doing the renovations himself, it was better to leave such matters to the professionals.
"Aside from the s Familia, I also need your help contacting the Demeter Familia, Eina."
"If possible, I would like to establish a partnership with the Demeter Familia to source ingredients from them."
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, let's go inside and talk about it."
Lynn led Eina toward the nearby annex.
"Eh? What about me?"
Hestia, who was slacking off, froze for a moment.
Watching the two gradually walk away, a look of confusion appeared on Hestia's face.
Could she be getting her home stolen?
At the same time, at the Freya Familia.
Summoned by their Goddess, the Higher-Ups of the Freya Familia gathered together.
"You're late!"
Looking at the blonde elf who walked in last, Allen crossed his arms and showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
"I stopped by the Guild on my way back."
Hedin adjusted his glasses and turned to look at the silver-haired Goddess sitting in the depths of the room.
"Lady Freya, the Guild has issued a report: Lynn is a Level 1."
"Eh?"
"Really?"
"That man is a Level 1?"
"The Guild must have made a mistake!"
Not far away, four dwarves, identical in both appearance and voice, exclaimed in surprise.
"Level 1?"
Behind Freya, Ottar, the strongest in Orario, also cast his gaze over.
Because Freya was interested in yesterday's War Game, he had also watched the live broadcast.
The strike Lynn unleashed was nothing to him.
However, from Ottar's perspective, that was by no means a slash that a Level 1 could unleash.
"The news was released by Royman, who personally conducted the level assessment for Lynn."
Hedin ignored the shock of his companions, his gaze still fixed on the Goddess on the throne.
"In addition, according to my inquiries, Lynn seems to have reached a cooperation agreement with Royman."
"Royman has agreed to the Hestia Familia's request to recruit subordinate gods; in exchange, the Hestia Familia will transition into a commercial-type Familia."
"Thank you for your hard work, Hedin."
Seemingly having anticipated this news, Freya's expression did not change as she shifted to another question.
"What are the results of the investigation into the monsters?"
"What is certain for now is that those monsters indeed possess human intelligence. As for the people smuggling them... it seems to be related to the Evilus Faction."
"The Evilus Faction?"
Freya narrowed her eyes.
She seemed to understand why Ryu's reaction had been so intense over the past few days.
"Continue the investigation and see if you can find the stronghold of those Remnants of the Evilus Faction."
"Yes!"
