Chapter 30: Caged Genius Be Free! Hestia Cries!

Outside the abandoned church.

The space trembled for a moment before Lioro and Yoriichi appeared out of nowhere.

[Jujutsu Sorcerer 6Lv-> 0Lv]

With each additional level spent, he can teleport others with him across worlds.

Putting away his panel, Lioro said to Yoriichi.

"Let's go and meet the goddess."

After taking a few steps forward, Lioro stopped.

Because he sensed that Yoriichi wasn't following him.

Turning around Lioro looked at him.

Yoriichi just stood there with his eyes closed.

Lioro called out his name.

"Yoriichi?"

But he received no reply.

Lioro raised his eyebrow.

Just when he thought something was wrong with him.

Yoriichi opened his eyes.

"Are you okay?"

Lioro asked.

Instead of replying, Yoriichi slowly pulled out his Nichirin Katana and silently looked at it.

Lioro tilted his head in confusion.

Looking at the blade of his sword.

Yoriichi felt something within him.

Something calling out to him.

As if reaching desperately for him.

Then suddenly without any warning a brilliant flame burst out, covering the blade of Yoriichi's katana.

Lioro's eyes almost fell out of their sockets.

Yoriichi curiously looked at the burning blade in his hand.

Reflected in his clear eyes, the pure flame danced in joy.

Showing its affection.

Yoriichi felt it.

Taking a step forward he moved his body.

The fire danced.

His katana slashed out, cutting through the ground making sword marks appear all around him.

Lioro was dumbfounded.

[Technique 'Sun breathing' detected..... requires High class 'Magic Swordsmen'.....]

[Condition not met.]

"Za fuck?"

He couldn't even curse properly.

Lioro scratched his head and stood on the side, silently letting Yoriichi complete his enlightenment or whatever he was going through.

After acquiring a few minutes, Yoriichi finally finished his little practice and extinguished the flame from his sword.

Lioro walked towards him and couldn't help but ask.

"Yoriichi.....what was that?"

Yoriichi thought for a moment before saying.

"I think I felt mana...."

"You felt mana?"

"Yes."

Yoriichi nodded his head.

Lioro touched his nose.

"Wasn't that a bit too quick?"

"Was it quick? It just came to me.....:

'That's the most protagonist-like thing I've heard.'

Lioro gave Yoriichi a blank look.

Yoriichi silently looked at him.

'It's amazing how expressionless his face is.'

Lioro helplessly shook his head before turning around and telling Yoriichi to follow him.

"Let's go the goddess is waiting."

"Goddess...."

Yoriichi muttered in a small voice before following behind Lioro.

As the two of them stepped inside the abandoned church.

Lioro gave Yoriichi a quick glance.

'He couldn't detect Wraith Assasin.'

After all, it was a tier 7 undead specializing in stealth.

Yoriichi looked around the old broken church.

Lioro went forward and pushed aside the wooden blockage, revealing a passage heading underground then stepped inside followed by Yoriichi.

Finally arriving at the base of the Hestia familia, Lioro smiled and introduced it to Yoriichi.

"Nice place isn't it?"

"Yes."

Yoriichi said and looked around, his gaze quickly fell on the sleeping Hestia on the bed.

"That's our goddess Hestia."

Yoriichi couldn't help but give her another look.

She was drooling from her mouth...

Lioro looked at the sleeping Hestia.

About 6 hours have passed since he left, meaning the night was gone and the sun was rising.

It was time to wake up.

Lioro looked at Hestia's peacefully sleeping face then decided against waking her up.

Anyway, it will take another hour or two at most, they can wait.

They had plenty of time anyway.

"Take a seat Yoriichi, it seems we must wait until the goddess wakes up."

Yoriichi took off his katana from his side and placed it carefully against the wall before sitting on the sofa.

Lioro sat on the corner of Hestia's bed, looking at Yoriichi.

"Until our goddess wakes up, you can ask me any questions you might have, I will try and answer them to the best of my ability."

Yoriichi thought for a moment before asking.

"Are they really gods?"

"Yes."

Lioro nodded his head.

"It might be hard to believe by just looking at their outer appearance, but trust me they are gods and have simply suppressed their powers by placing a seal on themselves."

"Why seal their power?"

"It is a condition they agreed to abide by when descending to the lower world."

Lioro smiled.

'There's also some behind-the-scenes deal the gods made with the labyrinth but you don't need to know that.'

To be honest, even Lioro wasn't that clear about what kind of agreement Uranus made with the Labrinth.

Yoriichi nodded his head before continuing.

Lioro patiently answered his questions.

They started from the talk about the gods to the labyrinth then different races such as elves, beastmen, amazonians, etc.

After an hour almost passed by, Yoriichi asked his final question.

"Lioro how are we able to communicate?"

It has been bugging Yoriichi for some time now.

Lioro smiled.

"You can think of it as a blessing of mine, it allows me to communicate with others regardless of language."

Aka the hidden features of Dimensional Traveler.

Yes, it allows him to communicate with others regardless of the world.

Suddenly Lioro realised something and his smile froze.

'I can communicate with Yoriichi because of my class...but how will Yoriichi communicate with others?'

That was an issue huh?

Lioro silently looked at Yoriichi's sun earrings.

"Give me you're earing."

Yoriichi blinked in confusion.

----

Item: Sun Earing(Right)

Tier: Medium.

Description: Common earing blessed by the Divine Smith.

Added effect: Enables communication in foreign languages.

----

There goes another 50,000 experience.

Yoriichi looked curiously at his right earing.

Lioro looked at him and said in a serious tone.

"Yoriichi keep in mind what I told you."

"I will."

Yoriichi nodded his head.

Lioro told him to keep his powers secret from everyone, the world travel ability, and his summons.

Hestia might know after giving Yoriichi's status, but it didn't matter, as long as she didn't know that this was a fictional world it was right.

Lioro felt some light movement from behind him and smiled.

It seems his goddess was awake.

Turning his head, Lioro looked at Hestia, her blue eyes were staring at him.

"Good morning goddess."

Hestia raised her upper body and stretched her arms saying with half-closed eyes.

"Good morning Lioro yarn~"

Suddenly Hestia froze.

Her eyes fixed on Yoriichi.

Hestia blinked her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating or something.

After acquiring a few more blinks, she concluded that Yoriichi was real.

"Kyaa! there's someone here!"

Hestia hurriedly hid behind Lioro and pointed at Yoriichi.

Enjoying the feeling of her soft chest pressing against his back, Lioro pointed at Yoriichi and said.

"It's our new familia member, what do you think?"

"New member?...."

Hestia peeked out from behind Lioro's back and looked curiously at Yoriichi.

Seeing the time was right, Yoriichi stood up from the sofa and bowed towards Hestia before introducing himself.

"Goddess Hestia, My name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni...."

"Ohohoho."

Hestia stood up and jumped off the bed, scanning Yoriichi from top to bottom.

After acquiring a few glances she concluded.

"Well you're appearance is a pass...."

'That's all you saw?'

Lioro silently complained in his mind, feeling disappointed about the back support he just lost.

Yoriichi didn't know what to say.

"Okay! Since Lioro brought you here you must be someone special!"

Hestia smiled brightly and agreed without much thought.

"I am grateful."

Yoriichi bowed to Hestia.

"Hehe, no need to be so formal.....now come here and show me you're back."

Yoriichi took off his red haori and kimono, revealing his perfectly shaped upper body, akin to a Greek god.

God damn.

"You've worked hard."

Lioro sighed.

What? Can a man not appreciate another man's hard work?

Even Hestia couldn't help but give a few more glances.

Unknowingly she looked back at Lioro.

An image appeared in her mind.

There was no comparison at all.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

Lioro slapped Hestia's head making her hold it in pain.

He was only 12 okay?

Hestia looked at Lioro in dissatisfaction.

Yoriichi turned around and showed his back to Hestia.

Hestia made a cut on her fingers and dropped a drop of her blood on him.

Divine power took effect and the pattern of a divine flame appeared on Yoriichi's back.

As Hestia was updating his panel, a set of memories entered her mind.

This was the first time she was going to see her child's memory since she made a promise not to look at Lioro's.

'The other gods said it's a wonderful experience....'

Hestia looked in curiosity.

Instantly some fragments of memories appeared in her mind.

'Is this his family?'

She saw Yoriichi sitting together with his wife, who kept chatting with him non-stop and Yoriichi simply nodded his head continuously.

'They look good together...'

Hestia smiled warmly.

Then the scene changed.

Hestia's smile froze.

She saw Yoriichi kneeling on the floor, holding the mutilated body of his wife and their unborn child.

10 days.

For 10 whole days, Yoriichi held them, before burying them in the ground.

After that,t he started a life of but a single purpose.

To rid the world of all demons.

A single man and his sword.

Expressionlessly cutting through thousands of demons.

Never resting, never stopping.

*Drip*

Tears unknowingly started flowing out of Hestia's eyes.

Lioro looked at her in silence.

Feeling something wrong, Yoriichi turned his head, seeing tears flowing out of Hestia's eyes he couldn't help but ask.

"Is something wrong?"

Hestia hurriedly wiped her tears away and gave Yoriichi a gentle smile.

"Nothing's wrong...."

Placing her hand on his back she consolidated Yoriichi's status and said.

"Thank you....for joining my familia."

Suppressing her emotions, Hestia looked at Yoriichi's stats.

Regardless of the result, she has already decided to accept Yoriichi into her familia.

Hestia's eyes fell on his attributes.

Then she froze.

Lioro's head popped up from the side and also looked in curiosity.

Seeing the value written in the status.

Lioro smiled widely.
