Chương 66: Hestia's Unease

"The passage is blocked! Lord Cael and the others are in danger." Lili looked at the only passage, now completely blocked, gritted her teeth, and clenched her little fists tightly.

"What should we do now, Miss Lililuka?" Tanjiro asked anxiously. The pressure was truly terrible.

"Originally, Lili did not agree with fighting the Floor Boss. Although Lord Cael and the adventurers are strong enough to fight across levels, the Floor Boss is not comparable to ordinary monsters at all."

"But Lili's voice is weak. Everyone had already made their decision and would not accept Lili's opinion." As Lili spoke, she sped up and ran toward the safe zone on Floor 18.

"So the only thing we can do now is ask senior adventurers in the adventurer town on Floor 18 for help."

"No one may be willing to save them, but we must try our best." That was all Lili could do. Lili was too weak.

"We can only do this because we are too weak. If only we were stronger. Every time a powerful enemy appears, I can only watch the battle from far away. It is so frustrating," Tanjiro said unwillingly as he kept up.

"Yeah, it is so frustrating," Inosuke said, clenching his fists....... At the same time, on the seventh floor of Babel in Orario, inside Hephaestus's weapon shop.

"Hic." Hestia drank a large glass of ale and lay listlessly on the table, scratching her head drunkenly. Ale glasses were piled at her feet.

"Cael..."

"What happened all of a sudden, Hestia? If you do not work properly, you will stay here forever," Hephaestus said unhappily as she looked at Hestia, who was already drunk.

"Wuwuwu, Cael cheated!" Hestia shouted drunkenly, tears falling from her eyes.

"He hooked up with a little Prum supporter while I was not looking." As she said this, she slapped the table.

"And he even kissed another girl. It should have been me first. Cael, that womanizer!" The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

"Well, that is not a big deal. Adventurers encounter this kind of thing here every day. It is only a matter of time," Hephaestus said speechlessly.

"I love you, Cael. You are mine, mine." Hestia moved toward Hephaestus in a daze.

"Stop." Hephaestus pressed Hestia's forehead.

"Even the Familia members who receive my gift are not my property, Hestia."

"Of course I know that." Hestia rubbed her forehead and pouted.

"But I am so unwilling. I was obviously first. Cael has never even kissed me."

"In the end, it is only a small matter. Do not affect my business. You still owe me one billion Valis. According to the loan agreement, you have to repay me properly."

"Huh?" Hestia froze for a moment. Her expression became frightened, and unease brewed in her eyes.

"What do you mean? Do not tell me you forgot," Hephaestus raised her eyebrows.

"That is not it. I suddenly feel uneasy, as if I am about to lose the most important thing." Hestia covered her chest, her pupils trembling. The last time she had felt like this was when Cael first came out of the Dungeon.

"Do not tell me!" Thinking of this, she quickly ran out of Hephaestus's weapon shop.

"Hey, Hestia, what are you doing?"

"Sorry, Hephaestus. I have something urgent right now. I will explain later."......

"It is almost dark now. Usually Cael comes back alone, but now that Rengoku and the others are with him, he should not be this late." Hestia thought uneasily as she ran toward the Guild. With everyone's strength, an accident should not happen. Could Cael have taken everyone to the Middle Floors because they were all very capable?

"Cael has not come to your place either?" After receiving Eina's answer, Hestia became even more convinced of her unease. What should she do now? Issue a commission? Without decent compensation, would anyone really respond to her request?

"Hestia, my children said they saw your children trespassing into the Middle Floors. Before they could stop them, they had already lost track of them." At this moment, Takemikazuchi found Hestia and spoke anxiously. After all, those children from the Far East had a deep fate with him. No matter what, he had to tell Hestia.

"What did you say? Is that true?" Hestia clenched her fists. He had obviously just experienced an adventure last time, and now Cael was taking another one. Although everyone's strength was incredible, taking everyone to the Middle Floors at Lv. 1 was still too forced....... Floor 18 was completely different from Floor 17 and above. It was as bright as the surface, and there were even emerald-green forests, clear rivers, rolling hills, and a small wooden town at the foot of a mountain.

The people coming and going through the town were adventurers above Lv. 2. Although life was not orderly, it looked like a paradise. A breeze blew against their faces, bringing a comfortable feeling, but Lili and the four others had no mood to enjoy it.

"Please, adventurer, please save my companions."

"Please, everyone."

"My companions are trapped on Floor 17. Please help them." Lili, Tanjiro, and the others looked everywhere for adventurer parties, bending down and begging.

"Floor 17? Are you kidding me? The Floor Boss has resurrected. You dare come to the Middle Floors as Lv. 1? You deserve to die."

"Get out of here. We will not act like fools and help you save people."

"Rookies dare to come to the Middle Floors? Then they die."

"Stop joking. Get lost." Lili did not resent them for this. After all, this was human nature. No one was willing to risk their life for someone else. So she did not blame others. She could only blame herself for being too weak.

"Hey, isn't this the little Prum supporter who was with that crazy guy? Why are you here?" At this moment, an Amazoness adventurer came to Lili, her big eyes blinking.

"Hey, why is this weak little guy who almost got beaten to death by a Minotaur here?" the werewolf adventurer said rudely.
