Danmachi: The Sign In System!

Chapter 73 - Lefiya

Orsted and Eina agreed to watch the show together the day after tomorrow and then parted ways.

Soon, he went to the coliseum.

Despite the breakout outside, the coliseum remained unaffected, buzzing with excitement.

The monster show was in full swing, and it took Orsted over ten minutes to find Hestia, Lili, and Tifa.

"Orsted-sama, you're here!" Lili beamed, scooting closer to Hestia to make room for him.

"All done?" Hestia asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's handled."

"No more interruptions, so I can enjoy the day with you all," Orsted said, settling beside Lili with a gentle nod.

"What happened out there?" Tifa, seated on Hestia's other side, asked curiously.

Lili and Hestia turned to Orsted, their eyes bright with interest, eager to know why Eina had pulled him away.

"Some Monsters tamed by the Ganesha Familia for the show escaped and caused chaos on East Street."

"I was roped in to help," Orsted explained with a grin.

"You're a hero for the day," Hestia teased, raising an eyebrow.

East Street was packed, and the monsters must have caused damage.

Orsted stepping in to protect residents made him a hero in her eyes.

At her playful jab, Orsted's mouth twitched.

Pulling a neatly wrapped small cake from his pocket, he unwrapped it and gently pressed it to Hestia's lips.

"Eat this," he said.

"Hehe!" Hestia giggled, delighted to be fed by Orsted.

She held the cake with both hands, nibbling contentedly.

"Orsted-sama, I want one too!" Lili's eyes sparkled as she watched, leaning closer.

Orsted didn't disappoint.

He took another cake, offering it to Lili in the same way.

Then he handed the last one to Tifa.

"Thank you," Tifa said with a warm smile, starting to eat.

Orsted had bought the cakes on his way as an apology.

He'd promised to spend the day with them but got dragged away mid-event.

The trio clearly appreciated the gesture, happily munching while watching the monster show.

They chatted about the performance, completely forgetting Orsted's earlier absence.

They didn't stay at the coliseum all day.

After about an hour, they left to explore East Street, sampling its array of delicacies.

How their stomachs managed it was a mystery.

They kept eating without pause.

'Do girls have a second stomach?' Orsted wondered silently.

Then again, he had no room to judge.

Thanks to Hestia and the others enthusiasm, he'd eaten even more than they had.

Yet his abdomen showed no sign of it, as if the food vanished inside him.

As the sun set, they returned to the mansion.

"That's a lot," Orsted said, setting down bags of purchases and rubbing his wrists.

Despite his strength, capable of carrying far more, his wrists felt oddly sore—a psychological quirk, perhaps.

"Well, Orsted and I are off to see Hephaestus."

"You two stay here," Hestia said, brimming with energy despite the long day.

She placed her hands on her hips, addressing Lili and Tifa.

"Alright. Lili's going to practice her new magic, so I won't tag along," Lili said.

Usually glued to Orsted, she opted to stay and train her recently acquired spell.

"I'll join you, Lili," Tifa offered with a smile.

She hadn't practiced since the previous night, and Monster Feria had kept her busy all day.

Now was her chance.

"Okay, Tifa, let's go!" Lili nodded, taking Tifa's hand and heading to the backyard.

"Come on, Orsted. Let's find Hephaestus to buy a forge," Hestia said, grabbing his hand and leading him out of the mansion.

Orsted didn't resist, letting her pull him toward the Hephaestus shop.

Meanwhile, at the Twilight Manor…

"Lefiya, what's wrong?" Tiona asked, munching a sandwich in the dining hall.

She eyed Lefiya, who seemed lost in thought, with concern.

"Yeah, you've been off since we got back. Are you okay?" Tione, beside her sister, frowned, equally worried.

"Lefiya, are you alright?" Ais, seated across from Lefiya, added softly.

Having just returned with Loki, she'd only now noticed Lefiya's daze.

"I'm fine," Lefiya replied with an awkward smile.

"You don't look fine," Tione said, rolling her eyes.

"We're friends, right? If something's up, just tell us. We'll help," Tiona pressed.

Ais stayed silent but set down her spoon, her gaze fixed on Lefiya.

Under the scrutiny of three, Lefiya couldn't hold out.

Blushing, she began to explain what had happened.
