Chapter 295 Hestia

Hestia is a beautiful and petite Goddess with a youthful appearance. She has blue eyes and mid-thigh length black hair tied into two twin tails which reach down to her mid-thighs. Her hair is tied with hair accessories that feature blue and white petals along with bell-shaped ornaments. She has a small frame (4′ 7″), which further emphasizes her breasts, hence the nickname “Loli Big-boobs.” Her usual attire is a white mini dress with a blue ribbon around her neck and one tied under her breasts around her arms, and a pair of white gloves.

‘Now I understand why he said she’s one of the rare archetypes… a Loli Big-boobs… And that attire… That ribbon… it’s beyond amazing…’ Everyone thought.

“Allow me to introduce myself first. I’m Kisuke Urahara. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Kisuke asked for a handshake and Hestia took it. “And from my right is Yoruichi Shihouin, Kuroka, and Medusa. And those who are in the ground are Sona Sitri, Koneko Toujo, and Aika Kiryuu.”

“Nice to meet you too~! My name’s Hestia. Now that is out of the way, Mind telling me why are you looking for me, Kisuke-kun? If it’s going to take long, then can we discuss it later? I still have to go to my part-time job.” Hestia went straight to the topic.

“Even if it means all of us wanting to join your Familia?” Kisuke grinned.

“Let’s take all the time we need!” Hestia shouted. But second later, she realized something and held her head, “Crap!!! We don’t have a place to discuss!”

“You don’t have to worry about that Hestia-sama. Since no one is around, we can also discuss here.”

“But…” Hestia hesitated as she looks around the dirty abandoned church. She didn’t want her chances to get her first Familia members reduced. She already failed thirty-nine times!

“It’s fine. You only need to answer a question and we’ll discuss everything later at a better place that I’ll provide.”

“You have a house?”

“Yep~!” Kisuke answered, ‘In the middle of a forest.’ He already knew about the Gods’ ability to discern the lies of those from the lower world. He doesn’t know if that also applies to them but considering that these Gods are already alive for countless years, seeing through him shouldn’t be impossible for them, no matter how careful he becomes.

Hestia reclaimed her composure and stood straight up and emitted the dignity of a God, however, to everyone’s eyes, her petite stature only makes her cute instead of dignified, “Very well. Ask it, Kisuke-kun. What do you want to know?”

Kisuke looked into her eyes and his expression became serious, “Are you willing to keep a secret? Willing enough to protect our secret even if others threaten to destroy you…”

Hestia’s expression also became serious, but instead of answering his question, she asked her own question, “Why did you come to me?”

Kisuke didn’t hesitate to answer, “Because I genuinely thought that you can provide us what we need.”

“Are you admitting that you’re here to use me?”

“Yes.”

That simple concise answer caught Hestia a bit off-guard. She tried to find any traces of lying but she can only see determination bordering madness in his eyes which made her shock yet again, “Why are you going so far?”

A sudden jumped in question, but Kisuke knew that Hestia just saw through him and answered her truthfully, “It is to protect these girls… Who I consider my family.”

The girls behind him couldn’t help but smile gently at him after hearing his answer and Hestia couldn’t find any traces of falsification from them. And aside from gentleness, although in differing degrees from each of them, all of them has the same determined expression to support the man in front of them.

Hestia sighed. Although it seemed like their very casual, as a Goddess who already lived for millions of years, she already saw most of the world and can see through their veil of casualness, ‘For family, huh…’

“After confirming your resolution, my authority over hearth, home, and family wouldn’t allow me to refuse you. I welcome you to the Hestia Familia… though it’s only me right now…” Talking about her authority, her real demeanor as a Goddess surfaced without the trace of earlier childishness, “However, I have to warn you, Kisuke-kun. You’re already bordering madness and it’s possible for you to descend into something terrifying anytime. What makes you think that you’ll be able to keep yourself?”

Kisuke smiled with confidence, “It’s because I’ve been always this way and I doubt I’ll ever change.” Kisuke has always been carrying his madness from his previous world his and Yoruichi’s original world. Although the nature of this madness has change when he and Yoruichi got together, it won’t ever disappear. A man who would do reckless things like it’s the most obvious thing to do for his goal.

Hestia held her aching head as she confirmed yet again that he’s not lying. Heaving another sigh, Hestia asked, “So, Kisuke-kun… Are you going to tell me your secret now? Or should I give you my Falna first?”

Kisuke then took out a pouch full of coins and passed it to Hestia, “Please show everyone around.”

“…Hah?”

“It’s their first time here.”

While confused, a shadow suddenly jumped on Hestia and grabbed her arm, “Now, Hestia-sama! Please show us the good places!” Aika already set aside her regret as she wanted to explore the town as soon as possible.

“E-eh?”

Koneko also approached her and said, “I want to taste the local snacks.”

“I want to take a look at the local ingredients.” Medusa followed.

“E-eh? Why all about food?”

“Then I want to visit the Dungeon.” Sona also stated her desire.

Hestia then looked towards the remaining two, Kuroka and Yoruichi, “What about you two?”

They both looked at each other and grinned. Ever since hearing Kisuke’s story about the town, they’ve been wanting to visit a place to gather some funds, “The casino!”

“Ehh!?”

The girls dragged Hestia and went away, leaving only Kisuke behind, “Now then, let’s start… The other side is Hestia-sama’s room, so let’s use the other side.”

When the girls returned, a whole day already went by and Hestia is already being carried by Yoruichi on her back because she’s already too tired.

As they approach the abandoned church, they saw Kisuke welcoming them, “Thank you for the hard work, Hestia-sama~!”

Hestia got down and stood straight up, “Ehem… As long as you join my Familia! And? What are you up to the whole day, Kisuke-kun?”

“I said I’ll prepare a place for us to talk properly, right?”

“And you prepared it? Where should we go?”

Kisuke grinned and said, “Please follow me.”

Hestia became confused when she saw him entering the abandoned church. However, when she saw others following him, she also did the same saving her question for later.

They arrived at the opposite side where Hestia’s room in the basement which was provided by Hephaestus after she kicked her out and saw stairs going downwards, “Huh? Has there been a staircase on this side all this time? Why didn’t I noticed it?”

Kisuke didn’t speak and went down and everyone kept following him. More and more questions surfaced on Hestia’s mind but still chose to save it for later.

When they reached the end of the staircase after walking for about fifty meters, they were greeted by a wall, “A dead-end… Is this the place you’re talking about? It’s a bit cramped… Why don’t we move to my room?”

Still not replying to her, Kisuke put his palm on the wall and suddenly, a wall appeared behind them and shocked the heck out of Hestia, “What’s happening!?” They then felt the room move downwards.

Hestia kept asking questions but nobody is answering her and it’s starting to make her nervous, ‘What are they planning to do?’

A few minutes later, the room stopped moving and the wall that Kisuke touched suddenly moved to the side, revealing the other side.

Once Hestia saw this, she couldn’t help but ask while blankly staring, “Did a God of Earth used his Arcanum here?”
