A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"Huh?! Who wants to turn themselves in?!"

"Is that so..."

"Think about it, if you turn yourself in, you don't know how much fali you'll be fined, and you'll most likely be banned from entering or leaving the dungeon."

"But we've already offended that person, that friend of Lord Chenhai."

"This is indeed very serious. How about... we find a way to give these things to another adventurer, and then report that guy, saying that we were threatened!"

Oh oh.

The other person seemed to agree wholeheartedly and admire the plan.

"Let's do it this way. I don't want to lose my job as an adventurer in Orario."

"Of course, so..."

boom!

Before the two could finish speaking, they suddenly heard a strange sound.

They both looked back at the same time, where a towering lava golem appeared, its back reaching the ceiling.

"Is there... such a behemoth on this floor?"

"No, I don't know..."

"Forget about it! Run away!"

boom!

A new explosion occurred.

The ground beneath their feet shattered, transforming into a pit trap filled with sharp spikes.

"Ahhh!"

"It hurts!!!"

Just as the masked duo fell into the trap and let out a mournful cry, a lava golem suddenly appeared, extending its right hand, which was covered in high temperature and whose heat distorted space.

"no, do not want!!"

"Uh-huh!!"

The mournful cries turned into deathbed screams, which finally stopped abruptly after a second or two.

All that remains are the slowly recovering land and the coarse cloth bags lying on the ground...

Chapter 65 Takagi Saya: Miyamoto-kun, you don't want to be left behind, do you?

Three figures stood at the doorway of a kitchen.

From left to right: Hestia, Saya Takagi, and Rei Miyamoto.

Hestia turned around and closed the door, then turned to the two people beside her after confirming it was completely locked.

"It's all sorted out, let's go."

"Thank you, Miss Hestia, for lending us your work kitchen."

"No need to thank me. Besides, I don't think I'll need it for making desserts this time, since I don't need to sell potato balls anymore."

Upon hearing Saya Takagi thank her, Hestia quickly shook her head and followed suit with the aforementioned statement.

The situation was exactly as she described.

Hestia, who used to run the 'Hestia Familia' all by herself, had to sell potato balls every day to cover rent and daily expenses.

But things are different now.

She met the person who would change her destiny—Chen Hai.

As the owner of the underground city, Chen Hai's current wealth can be described as comparable to that of a country.

wrong--!

It should be said that all the rich people in the world combined might not be able to surpass Chen Hai.

There's no way around it; the magic stones from the dungeon are the most sought-after resource in this world, bar none.

Moreover, given its wide range of uses, it is impossible for it to be subject to over-exploitation and a decrease in price.

Because merchants eager to make a profit would compete to be the first to secure the largest 'magic stone' transaction, prices naturally rose.

As a result, Orario became exceptionally lively during this period.

Many adventurers, merchants, and tourists from foreign lands began to appear on the streets of Orario.

This also kept the 'Ganesha Familia', who were in charge of maintaining order, extremely busy.

Hestia thought she should mention to Chen Hai that she should increase the support funds from the Adventurers' Guild for the 'Ganesha Familia' to boost their morale and improve their efficiency.

After all, with money, everyone will work harder.

Even gods are no exception to this.

There's no way around it; the gods in the mortal realm don't live like those in the heavenly realm and can't enjoy the highest level of treatment.

Hestia used to live under bridges and sleep on the streets, but thankfully she persevered.

Looking at the bustling street, Hestia started walking.

Behind her, Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto immediately followed.

"There are so many more pedestrians lately...it feels like there are even more than yesterday. There used to be no queues at those shops."

"Yes, although we haven't been in Orario for long, the changes are already quite obvious."

The two girls looked around, marveling at how much Orario had changed.

Hestia, who agreed with their conversation, was more concerned about another point.

Chen Hai brought them from the other world linked by the underground labyrinth to Orario, proving that the same situation might occur again in the future.

If the number of women increases again...

Hestia felt that her current position was about to be taken away.

That's why she planned to make some sweets to send to Tatsumi, but she was spotted by Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto while they were out shopping.

After explaining everything, they went to the kitchen together to make some desserts.

To be honest, I had a lot of fun.

Hestia doesn't dislike spending time cooking with her friends.

She thoroughly enjoyed this leisurely and joyful time.

So after preparing the delicious food, Hestia decided to stop thinking about these things and focus on playing her role as a goddess.

To provide support to Chen Hai, to offer him advice and so on.

Although it may not be of any use, helping Chen Hai solve his problems is the only thing she needs to seriously accomplish right now.

“Miss Hestia, look over there.”

Upon hearing Saya Takagi's voice, Hestia looked in the direction the girl was pointing with her right hand.

There's a magician performing there.

However, since Orario is a magician, the 'magic' didn't attract much attention, but there were still passersby watching.

After all, apart from adventurers, most people in Orario are ordinary merchants, workers, and mercenaries.

Is today an event day?

Rei Miyamoto's gaze fell to the left.

There was a street there, with many temporary stalls set up on both sides of the road, selling things.

The three women exchanged glances and decided to go and take a look.

Upon arriving there, they discovered that people were selling and buying treasures from the underground city.

Some are expensive weapon materials, some are beautiful crystal ores, and some are even strange fish brought out from the dungeon.

It can be simply understood as 'Orari Dungeon Personal Expo'.

The three of them strolled around for a bit, hoping to find something they liked.

Five minutes were spent, but ultimately nothing was found.

"We should go now. It's quite hot, so we should take the snacks over first."

Hestia reminded the two girls beside her, and Takagi Saya and Miyamoto Rei nodded repeatedly as they walked towards the Adventurers' Guild.

If Chen Hai isn't there, store it in the Magic Stone Refrigerator; if he is, send it directly there.

After Hestia finished asking Eina, she learned where Chen Hai's office was.

"I hope Mr. Chenhai will be happy."

Saya Takagi looked at her basket filled with snacks and felt somewhat uneasy.

Rei Miyamoto thought the same way about this.

"I think this is the least of my worries, because Chen Hai is very gentle."

After saying this, Hestia led the way to Chen Hai's office.

Adventurers' Guild Main Building, Second Floor Office

Sitting in the chair, Chen Hai mobilized his power and temporarily modified his dungeon.

"Creating a lava golem on the eighth floor seems like it could easily scare the monsters there."

Once the monsters become frightened, they will hide and dare not fight the adventurers.

However, this situation only lasted for a minute.

"It's quite troublesome to clean up the scum among the adventurers."

Just as Chen Hai finished speaking, a knock sounded on the door.

He put aside his concerns for the time being and let the people outside into the house.

"Oh? You've arrived!"

Chen Hai looked towards the entrance, where Hestia, Miyamoto Rei, and Takagi Saya were standing.

"What's in your hand...?"

He immediately noticed the boxes in everyone's hands.

"These are pastries we made ourselves."

Hestia spoke first.

"I hope Chenhai-kun will like it."

"I'm actually a little hungry."

After Chen Hai made up a reason, the girls took the box and walked to his desk.

Hestia opened her box first, revealing a series of colorful little cakes.

"This is something I prepared especially for Chen Hai-jun; each flavor is different."

Next was Saya Takagi, who carefully took out the delicate handmade cookies.

"537 These are all homemade. They're not anything special, but... I tried making them many times beforehand, so they should taste good."

Finally, it was Rei Miyamoto's turn, who shyly offered her her little cake.

"I also tried to make some things, but they certainly can't compare to Miss Hestia and Takashiro..."

After reading them, Chen Hai tasted them one by one.

All three desserts tasted good.

"Every single one is delicious."
