Danmachi: The Blind Swordsman

Chapter- 45 Denatus



—---------------

Chapter- 45

—---------------

From Lili, she was told every adventurer goes in the morning to earn money, no matter the method they used

As long they get money, they will spend it on drinking the wine of their God because of addiction, even a failed product of soma-sama worth millions of Valis

the guard told them that nobody was inside even their God was not there but the guard even allowed them to look inside the hall as he said it was empty

But after that, they have no choice but to return to the church even though return to the church they all know the guard is lying

Hestia as the goddess knows from the beginning that the guard for lying as well as also noticed the moment they arrived the guard was staring at Lili with disdain as well as a little bit of anger in his eyes because of this she even grabbed the boundary of yuno's T-shirt and tried to hide behind him

As for yuno, he also knows even though his advanced observation haki is not as powerful as before as his ability is reduced to a minimum but still because of his spiritual sense he was able to detect the presence of some people underground and he was sure one of them was the presence of god but he didn't say it much because Hestia stopped him, so he decided to listen to her

And for Lili, from the looks, she definitely knew something about it as the member of soma familiar but still she was silent this whole time

After reaching the church, Hestia tells them the reason for stopping, even if they are forced to search inside and find nothing it will be a great impact on our familia as well as it will also give reason soma familia to start a war game with them, which she wants to avoid the most

"But don't worry, in just a few days Denatus will be held," Hestia said this to brighten their mood, which somehow didn't work

But After discussing this matter for a few more hours, they finally decided to pin their hopes on Hestia for this matter

... 

After a few days…. 

The day of Denatus…

Early morning… 

"Finally today…" Yuno muttered this looking at the sunrise while stopping in the mid way of his running task

After reaching the church he checks his progress till now:

[ Daily task- 1000 push-ups, 100 km run and 10000 slashes (completed) ]

…..

"Why the heck progress is so slow this time?" Yuno muttered this to himself in a very disappointed tone after seeing his progress growing slower than his previous template

This template process is very slow compared to his blind admiral template and this is happening at the start of getting the template, he didn't want to imagine how slow it would become after crossing 50% of the template progress

"Should I go and kill stronger monsters in the dungeon?" He muttered this as he thought of this solution since he noticed killing monsters is more beneficial than doing daily tasks like this, the stronger the monster the more benefit he gets 

After thinking about it for a while he shakes his head clearing all thoughts after all these things should be considered in future, not now. since today is an important day, not only for him but also for Lili

Later at the time when Hestia was leaving… 

Right now Hestia is wearing something different than her regular outfit, which is an wearing a long white sleeveless dress down to her feet with a blue ribbon wrapped around the whole dress like some gift wrapping with some gold badge thing attached to the dress collar on her shoulders

And as well as she wore white long gloves on both of her hands adding more points to her beauty 

Together, the combination of the blue ribbon, the golden badge, and the pristine white gloves created a harmonious balance, blending modern sophistication with a touch of timeless charm. 

The dress radiated an air of effortless grace, capturing the essence of both beauty and prestige which is quite the opposite of ordinary Hestia

{ A/N:- Here is the image of the dress if I can post it otherwise I will post it in the next post }

"Alright then, I am leaving and don't worry yuno I will choose a cool alias for you," Hestia said while looking at the yuno as she patted her chest with confidence

In reply to her, yuno nodded his head towards her even though he really to get a certain alias in his heart

After that she looks towards Lili and continues to speak "I will try what I can do, so behave well until then"

She speaks the last line as she comes towards lili and pats her shoulder with sharp eyes making lili flinch understanding what Hestia is talking about

"Then bye" Hestia farewells them as she leaves the church and moves towards Babel Tower where Denatus held

…. 

In Denatus, not only aliases but also many things related to adventurers are discussed in this meeting especially related to special adventurers like yuno, ais Or anyone similar with such an outstanding potential adventurer

The meeting place for denatus was on the thirtieth floor of the skyscraper in the middle of the city--Babel Tower encasing their meeting within the clouds above the city. Due to the extremely high ceiling, it looked almost as if the gods met in a temple floating in the sky

After 30 minutes, Hestia reached her destination and entered the hall where are gods and goddesses coming to gather before meeting

since there is time left before Denatus, they either enjoy food or talk with other gods and goddesses

The first case is with Hestia since she doesn't have much relationship with anyone other than Athena and Hephaestus as a shut-in in her temple back in haven 

'Even though this food is not as good as yuno's hand but still who can say no to free food' she thought this in her mind as she felt dissatisfied with the food, or maybe her taste buds were used to such excellent quality of meal which yuno's made that even these food which considered best by people is tasteless in her mouth

But she continued to eat it since she didn't have anything to do and as well as also started to enjoy wine which she normally can't enjoy

"Well well well isn't this Hestia" Voice comes from her side which seems unpleasant to Hestia's ears as she turns to see the figure with clear annoyance in her eyes

Since this figure is of someone she considered her an enemy, which is also known by the name of Loki

Right now Loki is wearing a dress that is quite similar to Hestia in full red with a black belt but this dress has no collar in it 

Wearing long black gloves in her hands as well as a necklace which is entirely made of crystals beads

Her shoulder-long red hair is tied up in a bun hairstyle with a hairpin with a big diamond attached to it and she is holding a wine glass

"Hestia this may be your first Denatus when you have a child in your family," Loki said with a smile, clearly provoking her 

Viens pooped out of Hestia's head hearing this, as she squeezed out a smile and replied "Yeah, maybe because my requirements were too high that I too much time than expected to find a child"

"If that is so, then I feel very unfortunate for that child to get such a demanding goddess," Loki said as she tried to wipe non-existent tears from her split-closed eyes

Double viens popped out on her head as she inwardly said this in her mind to comfort herself 'Wait till the meeting, it will totally be worth seeing her reaction knowing my yuno beat her favourite ais'

"You two are still so good friends than ever" From the side voice came, changing their focus to her

They both looked towards her and saw Hephaestus wearing an elegant red dress with a combination of black as well as a big diamond ring on her finger walking towards them with an amusing smile

""WE ARE NOT"" They both shouted this in refutation in the union after hearing that, as they both sulk back
