Manga Born to Be King

Chapter 195

　　Anyway, plus all kinds of guarantees, Nangong Xiao finally got rid of this girl's entanglement.After making a promise that he would go to the Hestia family after dark, Hestia let go of the hand that had been holding him.

　　It is said that the other party is a god, and it is so miserable.

　　This girl named Hestia, the transliteration of her name is Hestia.In ancient Greek mythology, Hestia was the goddess of fire and the protector of the house in Greek mythology.Artemis, the goddess of hunters, Athena, the goddess of war, and Hestia, the goddess of the stove, are known as the three virgin goddesses of Greece.Hesiod and later writers considered her to be the eldest child of Cronus and Rhea, the second generation of the god-kings, and thus the eldest sister of Zeus, king of the gods.

　　In the chaotic Olympus pantheon, the sun god Apollo (the son of Zeus, her nephew or nephew) and the sea god Poseidon (the elder brother of Zeus, her younger brother) both proposed to her, but this The goddess sternly refused.Perhaps because she couldn't bear the chaotic relationship in the Olympus goddess, this beautiful goddess swore never to marry, so she became the earliest god of virgins, so she was also the protector of virgins. Worship over all gods.

　　Recalling Hestia's data, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible for this goddess to be so miserable in the lower world, and she actually works at a food stall.

　　Is there anything he doesn't know about?For example, the constraints on the gods of the lower world.But this question is not important for the time being. If you ask her tonight, you will know.

　　Let’s fill up our stomach first, I just had to chat with Hestia for more than ten minutes and ate nothing but potato balls.

　　According to some friendly passers-by, the tavern called "The Mistress of Plenty" is very famous among adventurers, and the food tastes quite good.

　　Although I don't know why the passerby winked at him when he said "rich mistress", is there any special meaning?Thinking of this, Nangong Xiao's body shook violently.

　　"welcome!"

　　Wow!

　　Nangong Xiao finally understood the meaning of that look. Many of the shop assistants in the tavern are mother-in-law!For example, the elf with pointy ears, and the cat lady clerk with cat ears on her head and a tail on her hips-.

　　Walking into the tavern, I found that the business inside was very hot.The adventurers wearing armor and throwing weapons at their feet, holding wine glasses and chatting with friends and family members about today's harvest or - interesting anecdotes.

　　Presumably, for the adventurer who fights with monsters in the dungeon maze during the day, there is nothing happier than coming back alive to sit down and have a drink with friends or acquaintances, and then go back to spend the evening with his wife and children. thing.

　　"Guest, there is another place here."

　　A shop assistant greeted him.It should be the uniform of this tavern. Every clerk in the store wears the same clothes.They were wearing a green dress, with a white apron in front of them to prevent their clothes from getting dirty, black pantyhose on their thighs and a pair of brown leather boots on their feet, and a headgear like a maid outfit made them even more adorable. .

　　Led by the clerk, he sat at the last table that was vacant.

　　"I thought the clerks in this tavern were all mother-in-law."

　　Mother-in-law?It probably means that they are not human.

　　"Guest, I'm Sheer Frois. A human being."

　　......What should I say now, did it make the other party angry?

　　"Miss Xier, please come over all the signs of our shop."

　　"Eh?"

　　Is this guest really not joking?

　　Seriously observed it, um, it's a new face.Judging from the size of this guest, it doesn't look like he can eat so much, so let's take a look at the first part, otherwise it will waste money and food.

　　"Please wait a moment."

　　Oh, right.There's one thing he's always wanted to try, but there's no chance.

　　"Miss cat, can you let me touch your cat ears?"

　　"Alas!"

　　Nangongxiao's words made the catgirl clerk panic.

　　"do not want!"

　　Two hands tightly blocked his view of Cat Ear.

　　"It's really rude to the guest like this."

　　It turned out that Xier, who went to the kitchen to get food, came back.

　　"I'm not asking for the opinion of the cat lady? Besides, I didn't do anything without her consent."

　　"Is the character of the guest always so bad?"

　　Nangong Xiao answered Xi'er's question as if it was impossible.

　　"I've only recently become like this because it's so much fun (pleasure)!"

　　"......"

　　From a certain point of view, this gentleman can speak so frankly.

　　"Lord Loki, I'm sorry, there is no place left."

　　Loki?It's such a good name.I just don't know if the other party is really the Loki in the myth, or just the same name.

　　"It's okay, we can just go with that boy."

　　Xi'er ran over and asked, "This customer, there is no room in our shop. That Miss Loki wants to have a table with you, what do you think."

　　"Okay."

　　Wait, Miss Rocky?female?Originally thought that the other party just had a feminine voice, but I didn't expect it to be a girl.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???

　　"Hello, my friend, I'm Loki."

　　God friend?what is that.

　　"Ah hello."

　　Loki sat across from him.It was only then that he discovered that the other party was a pretty girl (?), if the other party dresses up seriously, it should be very good.Except for the washboard on the chest.

　　Nangong Xiao couldn't help but sigh that no one is perfect, everyone has their own flaws.

　　"By the way, what do you mean by a friend of God?"

　　"Sorry, I just made a mistake."

　　I mean, can this be wrong?However, the word "friend of the gods" should literally mean the friend of the gods, but it's okay to say that it is a friend directly. In this way, it means "a person who is also a god and a friend".

　　"So Loki... miss, what's going on?"

 …  

　　It always feels a little awkward, Loki suddenly turned into a woman.

　　"well said."

　　Loki's body moved slightly, and the red hair combed into a single ponytail on the back also swayed slightly.

　　"I don't know if it's my illusion. You have the breath of time on your body. That's the breath of people who have lived for a long time. Therefore, I also misunderstood that you are a person of the same identity as me."

　　Nangong Xiao knew that the other party was referring to the gods.

　　"Isn't Miss Rocky.... Why do you still have an illusion?"

　　"You can just call me Loki. In addition, our gods don't have the idea of ​​hiding their identity in the lower realm. You can say it directly."

　　After a pause, Loki drank a glass of wine and continued.

　　"In addition, our gods cannot use the power of gods in the lower realm. This is an agreement we made for the stability of the lower realm. Gods who use divine power privately without the permission of the gods will be forcibly sent back to the heavens."

　　"But I'm very happy today, I actually met a like-minded person!"

　　"?"

　　Nangong Xiao raised a big question mark.

　　"I heard what you said just now."

　　With that said, Loki got up and walked over, nudging his chest lightly with his elbow.

　　"It's really a fellow man."

　　"......"

　　Could it be that this Loki is actually a female pervert?All right, Uncle Loki.I shouldn't look down on you just because you're a woman.

　　"We got along very well today, let's talk next time."

　　"See you next time."

　　Finally, she was sent away. I didn't expect that the other party was still an old driver, and he was very clear about how to make girls more attractive..

Chapter 196

　　Nangong Xiao felt that he was going to leave too, and then suddenly found out that Loki didn't give any money.

　　"My day, Loki don't let me meet you next time!"

　　At this time, Loki, who was so drunk, suddenly trembled.

　　"Who is thinking of me?"

　　After Nangong Xiao paid for the meal for the two of them, he came to Hestia's residence under the leadership of a kind person.

　　He looked up at the building in front of him.Built in the deepest part of this completely unpopular path is a run-down church.

　　It can also be said that this two-story building built to express respect for God is almost completely destroyed.In appearance, there are traces of stone breaking and peeling everywhere on May [-].It is easy to make people feel a kind of faint sadness that has disappeared from people's memory after many years.

　　At the top of the front entrance, there is a stone statue of a goddess whose whole body is tattered and has lost half of her face.

　　"Whether it's wind or rain or anything else, it's the worst place in every situation."

　　Although there is no need to confirm, Tai still wants to confirm whether Hestia really lives here.Or should I say that I don't want to believe it in my heart.

　　"Is anyone there? Hestia?"

　　"exist!"

　　Soon, Hestia ran out, and it seemed that she had been waiting since she returned here.Nangong Xiao walked inside with her. In fact, there was no door at the entrance.

　　The inside is as bad as the outside.From the cracks in the broken floor, weeds grow thickly.Most of the ceiling above his head has long since fallen, which is basically the same as nothing.From the big hole in the roof, you can see the sky shining with stars.

　　In this church, which can basically be called ruins, there is a room.In this dimly lit room there is a row of bookshelves without a single book.Behind the innermost bookshelf is a staircase extending to the ground.

　　In front of you is a small room that feels like a basement.There is a smell of people living in it, but it seems that there is only such a part of the place where people can live.

　　"......"

　　It seems that this house god is even worse than he imagined.
