Chapter 29 – Are you going to stay in the dungeon for days? Are you kidding?

After getting my money, I went to the church to spend time with Hestia. Today, I want to relax; I'll not go after Aisha for sex. Speaking of which, how is she doing?

I opened my Status to check her current condition.

Aisha Belka - Status: Tired

She's tired? She must be working tonight... Thinking about it makes me irritated for some reason. But it's her job... I'll not treat it as a problem. After all, she isn't entirely mine yet.

She's still a prostitute.

'Her percentage is the same, it hasn't increased. 36% is quite low. I need to do something to raise that.'

"What are you thinking about?" Hestia asked.

We were sitting on the same couch, having dinner together.

"I was thinking about Aisha."

"Aisha?"

"Yes, a girl I met some time ago. I'm wondering if I should ask her out on a date. Maybe we could go to the dungeon together."

"Aisha? Hmm... I know a girl by that name."

"Maybe it's the same girl." I smiled at her. Hestia was surprised for a moment and cleared her throat. She knows Aisha is part of the Ishtar Familia and is a prostitute.

But she didn't ask about our relationship. She only asked if I liked her.

I answered honestly.

"I think she's nice, but I wouldn't say I love her. But I do enjoy being with her."

"I see. You're not in love, but you like being with her. Isn't that a bit contradictory?"

"I don't think so. You must have someone you like talking to but aren't in love with, right, Goddess?"

"I don't know..." Hestia stopped eating and looked thoughtful. "I've never thought about it."

"...Let's change the topic... I want to talk about the dungeon. I met a nice girl in the dungeon today. She's a supporter and wanted to work with me."

"A few days? You're not coming back here for a few days?"

"I plan to stay in the dungeon for a few days, just hunting and getting magic stones and items."

"Are you crazy?! Days?" Hestia came closer and grabbed my shoulders. "Take that back. You're not going to do that! Do you want to die?"

I placed my hand over hers. "Don't worry, it will be just a few days. My bag is big, I can carry a lot of food and water. I'll be careful in there."

"Then, at least take someone with you. What do you think about asking for cooperation from another Familia?" Hestia asked, desperate. I think she's terrified I might die in the dungeon.

"No need to do that." I stood up and was about to leave the church when Hestia grabbed my hand. When I turned to her, she was looking at me seriously.

After letting go of my hand, she took a deep breath, inflating her chest.

"I hope you're careful in there. When you come back, I'll have found a job to help you buy your new weapon."

"You don't need to do this."

"I need to do this! We also need money for the house."

"... Do what you want. I'll earn a lot of money soon anyway."

"Hm?"

"I have a plan. I'll talk to you about it later. I need a few days to prepare, and I'll do this in the dungeon."

"What is it? Tell me!"

"Not now."

I left the church and returned to my room. After taking a hot shower, I started preparing my backpack. I took all the plastic bottles in my room and filled them with water.

The backpack was almost full with just water.

'I need more bags... Or I can ask Lili for help...'

I'll think about this later.

I need this now. 'Where is it? Here it is! A notebook and a brand new pen.'
