DanMachi Crossover: My Kevin Template Joined the Chat Group

Unfortunately, he still didn't have any magic skills...

But that wasn't a problem. He would have those things later!

Then, he opened his status panel again.

Seeing that Honkai Energy had indeed appeared among his stats, Ling Xuan nodded in great satisfaction.

"Looks like the gains this time were pretty good. But next, I really should figure out a way to obtain some magic..."

Ling Xuan thought to himself.

But before that, he should head back.

If he didn't return soon, a certain vinegar jar would probably explode again.

And that was indeed the case!

Elsewhere, Hestia paced back and forth through the same spot in the hidden room beneath the headquarters—the church.

Her arms were crossed over her chest, her brows tightly furrowed, anxiety written across her face.

The sound of each passing second echoed coldly through the room.

If not for the fact that, as his contractor, Hestia could clearly sense that Ling Xuan was unharmed, she would have started worrying whether something had happened to him.

She had been the one to tell him to go eat by himself, but seeing that he still had not returned made Hestia even more furious. Without even taking a bath, she jumped onto the bed, intending to sleep in a huff.

However... ten o'clock, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock—by midnight, Ling Xuan still had not returned, and she finally began to feel that something was wrong.

Just as she was about to go out and look for him, the sound of the teleportation gate opening finally rang out.

Ling Xuan had returned at that moment.

"Where the hell did you go...?! I thought some bad woman had lured you away!"

Although she said that, the instant she saw Ling Xuan, Hestia's heart was filled with a profound sense of relief.

Ling Xuan was not injured, but it was obvious from his appearance that he had just returned from the Dungeon.

"You went to the Dungeon in the middle of the night!?"

Ling Xuan nodded.

Seeing his confirmation, Hestia could not help but stare in stunned silence.

Going to the Dungeon in the middle of the night... This guy really was...

Still, at least nothing had happened to him, and he had not been whisked away by some bad woman!

"But you made me worry all night. It would be outrageous if you didn't give me some compensation!"

As Hestia spoke, she puffed out her cheeks.

The twin ponytails atop her head also seemed poised to strike.

It was as though, if the guy in front of her failed to give her an explanation, a terrifying twin-tail assault would descend upon Ling Xuan's head!

Before that twin-tail assault could arrive, Ling Xuan's voice rang out.

"Then I'll take a day off later and go have fun with you."

Hearing that, Hestia's eyes immediately lit up.

"Is that a date? That's obviously a date, right!"

Hestia said excitedly, then threw herself into Ling Xuan's arms. That greatest softness engulfed Ling Xuan once again...

Chapter 17: The First Recipient of a Blessing

A night had passed since Ling Xuan returned.

"Ling Xuan, you're sleeping on the bed later, understand?"

Hearing Hestia say that, Ling Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Before he could react further, Hestia continued.

"Of course, I'll be sleeping in the same bed too. This is compensation... I ran all over the place looking for you and nearly exhausted myself to death. You wouldn't have the heart to refuse me, would you?"

As she spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on Hestia's face.

Seeing this, Ling Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Then let's hurry up and sleep together."

W-What!?

Hearing that, Hestia immediately became incomparably flustered.

Seeing her reaction, Ling Xuan merely shrugged!

Watching him act as though nothing had happened, Hestia suddenly felt rather displeased.

She had thought that saying something like that would let her see some cute reaction from Ling Xuan.

But now, it seemed that she was the one panicking instead...

How dare a mere Ling Xuan act so arrogantly!

Hestia gritted her teeth as she thought this.

Meanwhile, Ling Xuan watched Hestia's blushing face with great interest.

After that, the night naturally passed without incident.

Although the two of them did indeed sleep in the same bed that night.

Nothing happened at all...

If anything did happen, it was only that Hestia clung tightly to Ling Xuan throughout the night, making him slightly uncomfortable.

After all, Ling Xuan had just returned from the Dungeon and naturally had no energy to think about anything else.

And Hestia had also been thoroughly exhausted from searching for Ling Xuan.

Their extreme fatigue left neither of them in the mood to do anything else.

After the night passed, the two updated his Ability Stats as usual.

Hestia sat on Ling Xuan's back as she normally did.

As she looked at the Ability Stats emerging on Ling Xuan's back.

Too fast.

A trace of worry surfaced in Hestia's eyes.

As for how a Blessing developed, she only possessed secondhand knowledge and did not know any of the details.

After all, before Ling Xuan, she had never had a Familia. He was the first person to whom she had bestowed a god's Blessing.

Although she truly did not know much about adventurers...

In her memories, no one had ever been like Ling Xuan.

Too fast. The increase in proficiency was simply abnormal.

This was no longer growth—it was a leap!

No adventurer's growth rate could possibly compare with Ling Xuan's!

This abnormality left Hestia both delighted and somewhat worried!

It seemed she really needed to consider asking someone else about it!

As Hestia thought, she quickly found what she wanted in a drawer.

It was an invitation to some kind of gathering, bearing the words: "Feast of the Gods Hosted by Ganesha."

At a gathering of gods like this, perhaps she could obtain some information from the other deities.

Meanwhile, Ling Xuan began heading to the Dungeon to grind levels!

But before that, he had not forgotten Ryu Lion, who had joined his party yesterday!

The moment Syr saw Ling Xuan, a smile appeared on her face.

"Good morning, Ling Xuan!"

Ling Xuan nodded.

"You're going to the Dungeon, right? Ryu is already prepared."

As soon as she finished speaking, light footsteps sounded from nearby, followed by a slender figure wearing a green hooded cloak.

The hooded cloak reached down to her waist, yet it was not enough to conceal her entire body.

Beneath it, one could faintly make out shorts and long boots that covered half her thighs, outlining the slender, delicate curves of her legs.

The hem of her cloak faintly revealed a long wooden sword hanging at her waist, along with two short swords.

Dressed in an adventurer's battle attire, she approached Ling Xuan with lowered eyes. The eyes revealed beneath her hood were a clear sky-blue.

Only then did Ling Xuan get a good look at her face beneath the hood.

Seeing this, Ling Xuan could not help but sigh.

"You've completely changed your look, Miss Ryu. You really have the air of one of those thieves from adventure stories now~"

Hearing that, a stern expression appeared on Ryu Lion's face.

"Even if it's Mr. Ling Xuan, if you compare an elf to some lowly thief, even I will get angry, you know?"

"Sorry, sorry. But you really do have the feel of an Elf Ranger now."

Ling Xuan was not surprised at all by Ryu Lion's disguised appearance.

After all, Ryu Lion was on the Guild's list of dangerous individuals. If she showed her real face, it would still be easy for people to recognize her.

After chatting for a while, Syr seemed to remember something.

She clapped her hands together.

"Oh, right. Wait here for a moment."

As soon as she said that.

Syr immediately ran into the kitchen.

Before long, Syr returned to Ling Xuan carrying a rather large basket.

"This is the food our chef prepared today, and I guarantee it tastes good. Though, um, I already ate a little of it..."

Ling Xuan, who had long understood Syr's personality, did not stand on ceremony.

"...Sorry. Then I'll accept it."

Seeing this, Syr wore a composed smile on her face.
