207 – Fire Meong
“What can I say… I feel like I’m going fast.”
When I first played with Hestia, I didn’t expect it to be this hard.
In fact, even if you are tired, there is no fatigue at all in the physical part.
But if it’s a problem, should I say that I was hurt more mentally than expected?
“oooh!! tasty!!”
Do I have to say that I can’t bear it because my mind is still immature when I see that smiling face eating rotten food…
“Okay, then I’m glad…” .”
It was a short date of only 40 minutes, but during that short time, Hestia, who had said to just hit the fire, suddenly changed and went around here and there.
To be honest, I was happy to go to each restaurant and ask what this is and what that is.
For more than 1,000 years, I was stuck in the system and couldn’t play properly, so everything will feel new.
By the way… Why in the world are all the foods you want to eat only nerds?
“… Are they really good?”
“yes!!”
As if eating ice cream, I quietly poured warm coffee into Hestia’s face as I watched Hestia eat shaved ice made from the heart of an ice golem.
At least that one looks okay because it’s just a block of ice that has been ground up… Seriously, when I brought the cooked orc’s testicles and asked him to eat them, I was frustrated because I couldn’t bear to put them in my mouth.
Orcs’ testicles are said to be good for s*xual desire, and I’ve heard of them being talked about among nobles before, but it’s still too much for me to eat them.
If I became a eunuch, I might seriously think about it, but in my current state… I couldn’t muster up the courage to put it in my mouth.
“… Ryan, are you tired?”
“little.”
I want to say no, but I think if I lie anyway, it will show on my face. Even now, it seems that Hestia is aware of the tiredness on her face just because she is barely exhausted.
Maybe it’s because my facial muscles became paralyzed after watching the feast of the monsters, but maybe it’s because I haven’t worn a mask for a long time.
The desire to smile, even if forced, is like a chimney, but contrary to my thoughts, the face only shows a rotten smile with only the corners of the mouth raised.
“Um… Then let’s rest!”
“Are you okay?”
Although she said this, being with Hestia wasn’t difficult in itself.
It’s just that it’s hard trying to put everything Hestia eats into my mouth, but there’s nothing else difficult. If it’s not just nerdy eating, I think it’s good because it feels like having a child.
From the beginning, the physical side was fine, and I was just a little tired mentally from the feast of the relative nerds.
The oak steak that I ate in between was okay because it tasted relatively well with its appearance.
“Umm, but if Lian is having a hard time, it’s okay to rest, right?”
“still… .”
“it’s okay. To be honest, I had a lot of fun!!”
Hestia answered with a happy smile as if it was true, finished eating the shaved ice, and put her spoon on the table while looking at me with sparkling eyes.
“Then let’s play with me from now on!”
“it?”
As I was about to ask what that meant, Hestia grabbed my wrist and ran out of the store.
In an instant, I squeezed through the narrow alleys and passed the deserted back alleys one by one, looking for a quiet, private place.
What are you going to do and where are you going?
After passing through one alley, another alley pops out.
The alleys that reminded me of a slum got progressively narrower as I passed through them, and after about five minutes of walking, Hestia and I were in an alley that was narrow enough for me to stand shoulder to shoulder.
What do you really want to do here?
“Um… Would you like to be here?”
Hestia looked around and immediately took out the white torch.
After holding the white torch in his hand, he immediately looked around.
“Eight!!”
He immediately threw the torch to the floor.
Roaring!!!!
As the pure white torch burns, I watch closely as the trash and dust around me are engulfed in the flame of the torch and return to nothingness.
I was a little surprised by the power of the holy fire, similar to the effect of the sanctuary, but I watched Hestia’s actions in order to understand her intentions when she suddenly started cleaning.
“Um… Would this be enough?”
With the torch, Hestia inspected the back alley that had just been built in an instant, and sat down on the street without hesitation as if she was satisfied.
No, no matter how clean it is with the torch, do you usually sit on the street like that without hesitation?
“Then let’s play.”
Carefully grabbing hold of the hem of my clothes, Hestia sat me down next to me and slowly began to create a torch in her hand.
Ordinary flames that have not been adjusted in shape dance on Hestia’s hand.
Like Hestia, she stares at the quietly burning torch.
It’s new, but the sight of white flames burning while shining is a sight that really goes well with the word sacred.
The flame spewing out of Hestia’s hand swelled to a suitable size, and then maintained its shape and the flame shook wildly, like the sound of burning firewood.
Roaring… tadak… .
I look at Hestia staring at the flames without saying anything.
And, following him, I also stare at Hestia, who is quietly suffocating.
This is a very strange sight to see.
The sight of the goddess sitting on the sidewalk and staring at the flames with sparkling eyes.
However, there is an absurd sense of incongruity in the part where even a little divinity is felt despite this bizarre sight.
A goddess sitting on the pavement and looking at the flames.
It was so out of place that I wondered if there could be such an unnatural keyword, but it was on a different level from fakes like Neiros.
“How can you be holy even on the street?”
It wasn’t even a particularly serious mood.
He just smiled lightly and looked at the fire swaying in the wind.
The act of just staring at the fire without thinking about it and watching the sparks fly blankly without thinking about it.
Literally just enjoying the fire.
“Is it not the goddess of the home and the hearth, but the goddess of fire?”
While talking nonsense, I sat next to Hestia and looked at the flames in front of me.

Just without thinking.
look at the fire
Sparks fly out.
A sound like firewood burning tickles your ears.
Flames swaying freely appear and disappear in an instant, repeating.
I just blankly watch the flames burn.
Tok.
When I carefully turned my head at the sudden shock of my shoulder, I saw a white hair ball covering my eyes.
“Hestia?”
“Heheh… .”
Did you involuntarily attach your hair?
Hestia leaned her head against my body with both hands forward.
Cuda dadangtang!!!!
I heard something absurd behind me, but this time I got it.
Actually, this is a slum. Only this alley was made clean with the torch, but if you deviate a little from this alley, it is a dusty and trashy alley.
Even in the alley next to it except for this alley now, it is a situation where you can feel the presence of people.
No one has the guts to enter this alley, but there are plenty of nerds hanging around this area. One of the alleys has suddenly been cleansed, so it can’t be helped that attention is drawn to it.
“Whoa… .”
It won’t be long anyway, but this situation does bother me.
I have an appointment with Rain or Neros in 20 minutes, so even if I can’t hit the fire for a long time here, I want to enjoy it even for a short time.
It’s the first time I’ve ever had a proper bonfire without a strange effect like that brazier.
“go away.”
Completely avoiding Hestia, living beings began to disappear into the distance in an instant due to the demonic spirit spreading around them.
Humans crowded and noisily left, but the animals disappeared without even leaving a sound, as if the survival instinct had survived.
In less than a minute, the popularity of animals as well as humans disappeared.
Now that perfect silence has arrived, there is no one left here to interrupt my time with Hestia.
“Let’s take a break for just 20 minutes… .”
“yes… .”
I don’t know if I really listened and answered correctly, but as I listened to Hestia’s answer, I focused on the pure white flame that burned quietly.
Staring at the torch burning quietly, I relaxed and stared blankly at the flame while leaning on each other with Hestia.
It was definitely a time that I can proudly say was the best fire bruise of my life.
Fire.
