Chapter 153: My Companion

[Nyahahaha... I knew it!]

While Loki lamented her bad luck, Chloe was delighted; after all, her instincts had not failed her.

The champion was still a child, so she was right; she had found the ultimate Shota.

[You deserve it, Loki!]

Syr was also pleased with this; Loki moving before her to catch the Champion was something Syr wouldn't forgive.

And though she was angry with Loki, Syr was also grateful to Hestia for appearing at the right moment.

Because, for her, only Loki represented a threat; as for Hestia, she might as well enjoy the moment.

[Well, Loki, hope you like your new 'Alias']

Thinking of various embarrassing nicknames, Syr brought a hand to her lips; she could already see Loki's suffering from this.

No, rather, she would make sure to spread the word...

"Uh... a child?"

Ais, on the other hand, blinked several times in surprise since she hadn't expected this either – that such a powerful person would still be a child four years younger than her.

"12... years..."

Riveria was in the same boat; she shook her head several times, trying to escape reality. This child was extraordinary, so Riveria decided that it was a dream and that she would wake up someday.

"12 years? Then... saved a world in his childhood?!"

Opening her mouth in shock, Tiona looked at her sister, who, like her, had her mouth open. They couldn't imagine how a child could achieve such a feat.

"Guuuu"

Lefiya, on the other hand, had a dead look in her eyes; this day was already too crazy for her.

The Champion, the being admired by the Gods, would come to Orario.

That same Champion defeated Ais, whom she admired.

And now, that same Champion turned out to be younger than everyone present, yet the most powerful, flipping Lefiya's common sense upside down.

Only now did she finally understand why Loki said not to judge by appearances...

As for Finn and Gareth, they had decided to minimize their presence since Hestia entered. They moved Bete, who was unconscious, to the corner, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire between the Goddesses.

"..."

With both hands on her head, Loki couldn't withstand Hestia's disdainful gaze, so she looked to Hephaestus for help.

"Don't look at me, I don't even know why I'm here."

But Hephaestus showed no mercy, avoiding her pitiful gaze.

"Ughhh... Nee~ Chibi, can we... negotiate?"

As the only three present goddesses, Loki had not given up yet. After all, if news spread that she was a 'Shotacon,' her life would be miserable. So, seeing Hephaestus and Hestia, Loki didn't mind giving them some benefits as long as they kept quiet.

"Hmp! You try to steal my son and now you want to negotiate? In your dreams!"

Of course, Hestia couldn't pass up this opportunity to sink her rival. With both hands on her hips, she looked tall and powerful at Loki, who was now regretting her fate.

Fortunately for Loki, someone extended a helping hand, pulling her out of her misery.

"Maa... it's not that bad. I am very honored by your invitation, Loki-sama, but I must say: 'No' ... so, please Hestia, let Loki-sama go."

Shrugging, Yuki wasn't going to be so cruel as to let the person who invited him to dinner become a laughingstock. After all, he understood the hidden message in Loki's lamentations, so he spoke up for her.

However, he was also very curious, as his guess turned out to be wrong. Hestia didn't plan to test his loyalty; otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped him.

"Well, if my Champion says so, I'll let you off this time."

With disappointment on her face, this was a perfect opportunity to make her rival beg for help, but Hestia couldn't say no to Yuki's words. If Yuki rejected her request, that was enough for Hestia.

Yuki was her wildcard, as well as her ticket to an easy life in the mortal world. If she happened to lose him, Hestia could only cry for how stupid she was to boast.

But the danger had passed, so she was satisfied.

"Ohh! Your Excellency~ Are you an angel?"

With teary eyes, Loki was deeply moved; Yuki was very kind.

"No, I'm not an angel... In fact, I am... Hm?"

Cutting off his words, Yuki tilted his head; his race was very unstable because he was born a half-spirit, half-human hybrid. Now, with the Apocalypse virus in his body, he didn't know what race he had become.

Loki and her family, on the other hand, just waited for Yuki to speak; his race was a mystery, as even Loki didn't dare to confirm his race. As a progenitor, Yuki is the beginning, so he could be many things.

"Yuki."

Waking up from her brief sleep and energy recharge, Inori looked at Yuki being embraced by another woman, causing the light in her eyes to gradually disappear.

"Inori?"

Turning her head, Yuki looked at his girlfriend with doubts, as he was testing whether it was Mana or Inori.

Fortunately, it was Inori, so Yuki sighed in relief.

"Darling, let me introduce her. She is Hestia, the goddess of home and family, and beside her... Hm?"

Looking at the woman who had been ignored since entering the bar, Yuki tilted his head; seeing this, Hephaestus smiled, as she was only here as a spectator.

"My name is Hephaestus, the Goddess of Blacksmithing."

"So, it's Hephasteus-sama. Nice to meet you."

Smiling, Yuki knew very well about this Goddess, as she was the one who kept lazy Hestia in check.

"Um!"

Upon learning that both are Gods, the light returned to Inori's eyes.

"My Champion... Is she?"

Blinking her beautiful blue eyes, Hestia looked curiously at the girl in front of her. Even though she ignored her because she was asleep, Hestia could see that this girl was not from this world.

"Hm~ Hestia, she is my companion, as well as a member of my group and, consequently, a Hero."

Smiling proudly, Yuki patted his chest since Hestia had given him a mission to gather a group of Heroes who would help him save the world. Now, with Inori in his group, Yuki thought his mission was on the right track.

However, for Hestia and everyone present, his words were another bomb.

"Eh?!"
