Chapter- 96
—------------------
Even though Yuno wanna complain about how much she wanna shop he still isn't able to utter one word to complain due to the fact he made a promise and can't go back on his word
Another reason was that he could sense how much she is lost in shopping, since Yuno could sense emotions which means he could tell Syr is happy right this moment
As he didn't wanna ruin her mood, he could only follow her but his hands were already full, not only bags were so many that it's stacking up on his face
But this has its own advantages, since it's due to those shopping bags stacking up to his face helping him to hide his face even though people are already able to recognise him earlier
Due to the busy market, Yuno is able to blend into the crowd without any problems as well and he has no vision problems with shopping bags since he has skills that give him the ability to check his surroundings 360° without any problems
'phew~ Finally able to lose Hestia-same' Yuno inwardly said this as he noticed that he managed to lose Hestia now since he couldn't help but feel weird Hestia following them in a sneaky way like a stalker
Even though he wanted to ask this why she doing he understood that this was not the time or place to ask this
Luckily he managed to lose her in the crowd but inwardly he decided he would be sure to ask about this to Hestia after going back Into the church
….
On the Hestia side…
"Where do they go…?" Hestia couldn't help but ask this question in a very low tone to herself since a few moments ago she had followed Yuno and Syr without any problems
But suddenly she lost track of them which was weird because a few moments ago they were in front of them now they were not
As time passed, this marketplace started to become more crowded making Hestia lose track as he tried to look for more but unfortunately, she was very unsuccessfully
"Hestia, what are you doing here?" someone suddenly put a hand on her shoulder the person asked her in a very familiar tone
The sudden touch made her shudder unconsciously as she quickly turned around to find the person who called her
"Miach!" Hestia said this as soon she saw the person who just called her, she couldn't help but sweat a little thinking why she would meet someone she knew here
"I-i am…" Hestia muttered this as she tried her best to think of a suitable excuse since she couldn't tell him that she was sneakily following her Childlike stalker otherwise her reputation as a Goddess would be ruined but unfortunately no matter what she couldn't think of a good lie which would look believable
Because Hestia is not someone who tells without blinking an eye, meanwhile Miach looks at her with confusion he couldn't understand what was taking Hestia so long to answer his question
"Oh yeah!!! I was here to buy something for my child" Hestia said this as she looked at him since she thought if she said this as an excuse then surely no one would suspect her after all she is a goddess who always deeply cared about her children
Luckily unlike mortals, gods/goddesses can't sense other gods/goddesses lying otherwise Miach would immediately be able to tell whether Hestia is lying or not
Miach nodded his head as he understood Hestia's character and couldn't find that much suspicious since he knew how much she cared about her children
But he was surprised to know that someone introvert like her managed to come into the market for her child since he understood as One of Hestia's friends knows that how much Hestia Disliked Crowded places
"But why are you wearing such an outfit?" Miach asked this next in a confused tone as he didn't understand why Hestia came here in such a weird outfit for shopping
"Y-you I thought it w-will be a-attract less att-attention from p-people" Hestia replied to Mitch's next question in a shuttering tone as she made up another lie
Hearing her answer gives him doubt since rather than avoiding attention from people, she is doing the opposite as now everyone is looking at her due to her suspicious outfit
"E-Enough about me, what are you doing here?" Hestia quickly asked this question cutting off Miach who was able to ask more questions
"Oh me? I am here to get some herbs and other materials to make some potions" Miach replied to her without hiding anything since not only he wanna make potions but his other objective was to teach his child about potions too
Looks at his child who is quietly following Miach behind, who finally comes forward holding a bag full of herbs
Hestia quickly able to recognize this demi-human as she already met her once, but didn't expect to meet them here
"Greetings Hestia-sama," she said as she bowed her head showing her respect towards her since she knows due to her child, she is alive today
"Hello," Hestia said to her greeting as she nodded her head and realised that the demi-human had not fully recovered but unfortunately she had a prosthetic arm since in that accident she lost her arm
But looking at her now, Hestia realised that she was doing better which made her relief since Hestia thought the demi-human girl might have taken more time to recover from that accident
"Hestia if you don't mind, we can help you choose something for your child," Miach said this as he suggested since due to Yuno, his child was able to survive that dangerous situation
And for that, he is very grateful to him but wants to somehow repay him for saving his child's life, unfortunately, he isn't able to do that yet
"I-it fine" Hestia Replied to him as she tried to find a suitable excuse to reject them but no matter how much thought she couldn't think of any
"Yes! Hestia-sama come with us, we try to help you as best we can" The demi-human girl spoke this to her as she supported her God's statement
Hestia was troubled by both of them as she wasn't able to make up another excuse, especially after facing both of them who insisted on helping her
'I don't need your help!' Hestia couldn't help but say this her mind out loud as she knows she can't say this directly to them
Honestly, she just wanted them to leave as soon as possible since that way she could continue her work which was to find Yuno and Syr and figure out what they were doing
But now that seems to be not possible, at least
for now, as facing both of them she comes to realise that she can't make any good excuse without getting suspicious
*sigh*
"Alright…" Hestia released a tired sigh and replied as she finally gave up thinking of any lies or excuses, she now could only hope that she would find Yuno and Syr on the way
With that in her mind, she finally gave up resistance and accepted her fate as she followed both of them with a dejected look on her face
'I hope that girl won't play any tricks on my Yuno! ' Hestia inwardly said this in her mind with frustration as he tightened her fists while she looked around to see if she could find them anywhere
...
After a few hours…
"Are you done?" Yuno asked this as she looked at Syr who seemed to have stopped shopping finally after hours
"Y-yeah" Syr replied to Yuno's question with a little shuttering like she herself feels a little bit embarrassed about the fact how much she purchased or how many things she let Yuno carry
*Phew~*
Yuno released a sigh of relief after hearing her answer as he was worried about where he was going to carry more shopping bags
"Shall we eat something before continuing?" Yuno asked this as he suggested this since he feels Syr probably would need a break even though he is carrying all the bags around and following but still he is a level 2 adventurer who has his own system
Not to mention he does exercises every day, so there is no way someone like him would get tired just by walking and carrying stuff
Unlike him, Yuno thinks Syr is a regular human and even though she knows her soul is kind of special. Still, her physical body is like a regular human
And thinks that by now Syr must be very tired and hungry due to the fact she is the one who is mainly roaming around finding the suitable shops and lastly selecting things she wants
"Alright," Syr said as she agreed to his suggestion and started to guide him to the nearest restaurant
Since Yuno already scanned this place with his skills, he can go to the place where she is taking him too even though he came to this place first
