Back

A moment later, a yawning sound could be heard nearby as Bell woke up from his sleep and turned to see the awakened Glass and Hestia both staring at him.

"Kami - Sama, Glass- San" Bell said as he slowly got up from his bed. Suddenly, a shadow flashed by and crashed into his body.

Besides some pain, he felt a soft body and two soft mountains pressing onto him. Glass turned around and coughed twice as Bell's face showed signs of embarrassment. As for Hestia who had jumped into Bell's arm, she hugged him while laughing.

"Ne, ne, Bell - Kun, you two did a good job beating the Monster Rex. But that was much too dangerous, after all, you two had literally just become Adventurers!" Hestia said as she continued rubbing her head against his chest.

"Hahaha, I didn't think we would actually beat it. But having Glass - San with me made me feel safe and I didn't get scared" Bell replied.

"Hehe, it's good that you two are working hard, but promise me you two won't do something so dangerous again" Hestia told him.

"We promise" Bell and Glass both said at the same time.

"Bell, since you're up now. Let me show you the drops we got from the Goblin" Glass suddenly spoke as he got up and grabbed the knife on the table.

Hestia let go of Bell as she sat in her seat while Glass got closer to Bell and sat on his own bed.

"Your knife was broken and now we got a good one, we can save a lot of money since we don't need to buy you a new knife as a replacement, though I reckon you having another knife will suit you better since you are agile and nimble" Glass told him.

Bell nodded as he continued listening to Glass explain. "Now watch closely" Glass said as he held the knife by the handle and twisted it. A soft and barely audible clicking sound could be heard as the knife head instantly changed shape.

It went from the default tooth-like shape to a butcher knife in an instant shocking Bell! "That... It can change?" he asked with his mouth wide open.

"Yea, keep watching" Glass replied as he continued twisting it multiple times displaying seven different knives within just a few moments.

"Wow, that's amazing are you sure you want to give me it?" Bell asked. Glass nodded, "Of course, what would you fight with then? Besides, it wasn't the only thing that dropped, look on the table over there" he pointed to Bell.

Looking over at the table, Bell saw a small tube that resembled a flute and was the same color as the knife in his hands. "A stick? No, since the knife could change that means it should change forms too" he thought.

"Glass - San, can you show me the other forms of it?" Bell asked. Glass nodded as he picked up the small polearm and stood at the spot with the most space inside the room.

Holding it in his hand, Glass twisted it as it enlarged in size being both length and width at the same time. For some reason, even though it expanded in width, Glass holding it couldn't tell that it had even grew bigger!

The only way to tell was by looking at the polearm!

The polearm in his hands grew to over three meters as he twisted before unwinding it to make it smaller. He then moved his hand and changed the polearm into its spearhead form and then its trident form.

"I see, so it's not only a polearm that can grow but also a spear and a trident. Does it have a limit?" Bell asked with curiosity.

"No idea, we'll have to test it once we recover" Glass replied as he put both weapons back on the table.

Suddenly, the sound of rumbling and growling could be heard. Both Bell and Glass held their stomachs with embarrassed expressions as Hestia said, "Hehe, I'll go bring some food" as she left the room and got them dinner.

Sitting on the bed across from Bell, Glass told him, "Hey Bell, once we recover, we should go to the weapon shop and buy you another knife, we have plenty of money now that we defeated a Monster Rex so we can get you a decent one"

"Yea, We'll need to get used to the weapons before we can actually head down deeper into the Dungeon" Bell replied as Glass nodded.

"I'm back" Hestia said as she brought in a tray with three bowls of soup as well as some bread and a drink for each of the three.

That night, Hestia returned to the old church by herself as Bell and Glass stayed overnight to rest and heal their injuries. The next day, their injuries had recovered somewhat as they paid for their stay and left with their belongings.

They headed home to the old church and met with Hestia who welcomed them back with open arms. "Welcome back, Bell - Kun, Glass - Kun" she said as she hugged them both at the same time.

"Hestia - Sama, Bell and I will head to the weapon shop, how much did we get from the Magic Stone from the Monster Rex?" Glass asked her.

"Hehehehe, give me a second" Hestia grinned as she left and headed to her room before coming back out with a large bag of Valis. She walked slowly as she held the large bag as the two helped her hold it.

"That's a lot!" Bell said.

"The Monster Rex alone gave us 500,000 Valis! The Guild said that since it was a special one they increased the price for us. The other Goblins you guys killed came to a total of 20,000 Valis. 520,000 Valis!!!" Hestia said with excitement as her pupils turned into dollar signs while staring at the big stash.

"Kami - Sama, do you want to come with us?" Bell asked.

"No thanks, I'll stay here, you two go buy what you need, anything is okay but don't spend all of it!" Hestia replied.

"Okay" Glass replied to her as Bell and Glass left the old church with the large bag of Valis. On the way to the weapon shop, many Adventurers looked at them weirdly.

"I don't blame them, bringing out such a large bag of Valis who wouldn't stare? Isn't there an accessory or something that would let us store all of this? Glass thought as they arrived in front of the weapon shop and opened the door.

As they entered, the doorbell chimed.
