NOVEL WEB Chapter 118: Hug me
Chapter 118 - Hug me
Tifa had ranked up, choosing Leap as her development ability, just like Orsted and Lili.
Leap was a powerful ability.
After updating Tifa's status, Hestia was bursting to share her excitement with Orsted.
"Orsted, Orsted, you won't believe this! Something happened to Elenoir and the others today."
"Their basic abilities are at F now, and even their magic hit G. If they keep this up, they'll reach S in about ten days!"
As Hestia spoke, Elenoir and the others beamed with pride.
A thousand-point boost in just two days of adventuring—who wouldn't be thrilled?
"Alright, don't get too full of yourselves," Orsted said, frowning at their smug looks.
"Your progress is thanks to me."
He hadn't planned to bring it up, but their pride needed checking.
After a moment's thought, he decided to reveal the Falna Amplification Card.
Elenoir and the others were stunned, barely believing it.
Such a thing existed?
But since it came from Orsted, whom they adored, their initial disbelief faded.
They trusted he wouldn't lie to dampen their spirits.
No wonder their updates showed such a leap from the day before.
Yet, far from disappointed, they felt warmed and proud.
Their captain, Orsted, had crafted this powerful ability to boost their growth, showing how much he valued them.
How could they not feel cherished and honored?
"Hehe, my Orsted's the best!" Hestia, unfazed, flung herself into Orsted's arms, nuzzling him with pride.
"Hestia-sama, stop hugging Orsted-sama! Lili's jealous!" Lili tugged at Hestia's foot, trying to pull her off.
"Oh, Lili, Tifa, these are for you," Orsted said, chuckling as he patted Hestia's head.
He pulled out the last two Hestia's Rings and handed them to Lili and Tifa.
Of the five rings he'd made, Orsted kept two, sold one to Riveria, and now gave these to Lili and Tifa.
Lili's eyes sparkled as she snatched one, slipping it onto her ring finger with a dreamy look, picturing a romantic scene.
Orsted: …Uh.
Tifa calmly took hers and put it on.
Elenoir and the others' eyes lit up, as if struck by an idea.
"Orsted, I want a ring too!" Hestia spun around, spotting the rings on Lili and Tifa.
A spark of envy flared as she glared at Orsted.
Sensing trouble, Orsted quickly explained Hestia's Ring's storage function.
The clarification calmed the room.
"But I still want one," Hestia insisted. "Make me a ring, Orsted."
"Then make one for me too, Ser Orsted," Senie said, smirking from the sidelines.
"Orsted, me too," Eina chimed in.
"Elenoir wants one!" Elenoir added.
"I'd like one…"
"Orsted-sama…"
"Orsted-sama…"
Senie's request triggered a cascade.
Eina, Elenoir, and the others clamored for rings, unrelenting in their demands.
Overwhelmed, Orsted promised to make one for each, finally quelling the uproar.
"Hey, Orsted-sama," Lili said, studying her ring.
"You mentioned mythril is found in the dungeon, though rare, right? Why not commission the Guild to collect it?"
Orsted blinked. The Guild! Why hadn't he thought of that? Commissions could solve everything.
"Lili, can you handle it?" he asked, eager to delegate.
Hestia's Rings were too valuable—the more, the better.
"Leave it to Lili, Orsted-sama!" Lili replied, buzzing with enthusiasm.
"I'll go with you to the Guild tomorrow," Eina said, smiling at Lili.
"Sure, but why're you going, Eina?" Lili asked, curious.
Eina's visits usually had a purpose.
"I want to convince Misha to join us and snag more Guild intel," Eina said, adjusting her glasses.
"Brilliant!" Orsted exclaimed.
"Eina, I'll make you shorthand pens—magic items that work without magic, perfect for copying info fast."
"You can get Misha to use them for intel."
Eina: "…"
"Of course you'd think of exploiting loopholes, Orsted," she said, half-exasperated, half-amused.
