Although the stats on Hestia's panel looked rather embarrassing, one thing was clear—Alexander had succeeded. 

As Alexander stopped what he was doing, Hestia was left completely stunned, still frozen in shock. 

"I… A majestic goddess… became someone else's familia?" she muttered, staring blankly at her own reflection in the mirror. 

And then— 

"Waaahhhh!!!" 

In an instant, Hestia burst into loud, uncontrollable sobs. Her cries were so pitiful that anyone who heard her might be moved to tears themselves. Alexander, however, struggled to hold back a laugh. 

After all, in so many fanfic stories, it was always about someone joining the Hestia Familia or Loki Familia. But for someone to turn a goddess into their familia? Surely, this had to be a first! 

Seeing Alexander chuckling, Hestia finally couldn't hold back anymore. 

Whoosh! She threw herself at him, her small fists pounding furiously against his chest. 

"You're laughing?! Still laughing?! I've lost everything! My dignity is gone!" 

Alexander, trying his best to maintain a straight face, sighed. 

"Well, you lost the bet, didn't you? A goddess should honor her word, right?" he teased. Of course, Alexander wasn't exactly gambling—it was more like gentle trickery. But still... 

"Okay, okay. How about this? I'll treat you to fried potatoes. Deal?" 

"Huh?" Hestia paused, her fists mid-air. "Really? … Wait, no! I won't forgive you so easily! Loki will laugh at me for years! I'll never live this down!" 

"Relax. If I don't say anything and you don't say anything, who's going to know?" Alexander replied casually. 

Hestia took a deep breath, calming down slightly. "That's… true. As long as you don't tell anyone…" 

"Exactly. Plus, now that we're family, things will only get better. When we get back, I'll buy us a big house and hire some servants for you. You won't have to work part-time anymore—just focus on being the amazing goddess you are." 

Hestia blinked, her mind painting a beautiful picture of her future. She could see it now—living in luxury, no more part-time jobs, and no more scraping by. 

"Wait... really?" she asked, her voice softening. 

"Really," Alexander reassured her. "And don't worry. Once we start exploring the dungeon, we'll make sure to protect your reputation. No one will know about this." 

Hestia hesitated for a moment, then nodded, tears glistening in her eyes. "Alright. But you promise that Loki will never find out about this!" 

"I promise," Alexander said with a smile. 

Relieved, Hestia's face brightened. She extended her little finger, hooking it around Alexander's. "There's no proof without a pinky promise!" 

"Are you a child? Fine," Alexander sighed, locking fingers with her. 

Satisfied, Hestia smiled warmly, finally at ease. 

But Alexander wasn't done. Turning to the others in the room, he clapped his hands. 

"Alright, everyone! I'm heading to the dungeon. If you're coming with me, come here and take off your tops—I'll bless you." 

The room fell silent. 

"…Ara, ara. Alexander, you're so bold," teased Kurumi, a mischievous grin on her face. "It's broad daylight, you know. At least wait until nighttime before stripping everyone down." 

The teasing only made Alexander grin, while the other girls looked away, their faces turning red. 

"It's just your tops. What's the big deal?" Alexander said nonchalantly. 

"I'll go first." 

Utaha stepped forward, lying obediently on the sofa. Her face was calm, but deep down, she was determined. 

Unlike the other girls, Utaha was just an ordinary girl. She envied how strong and powerful Alexander's other companions were. Twenty years from now, they would still look youthful and vibrant, while she would grow old like a regular human. 

Would she still deserve to stand by Alexander's side then? 

The thought made her anxious, and she was determined not to let this chance slip by. She would do whatever it took to keep up with the others!

Seeing Utaha's resolve, Setsuna stepped forward as well. Like Utaha, she was an ordinary person and shared the same concerns. If there was a chance to transform, she wouldn't let it go to waste. 

As the two girls prepared themselves, Alexander smiled inwardly. Whatever the future held, he was certain of one thing—his growing family would face it together.
