Danmachi: Gacha Draw

"Eh? Is it Link?" 

"Why do I have time to come today? It's so hard to see you just once," Kaguya said venomously. 

"Link, do you want to stay for dinner?" Alise asked softly, looking like a girl in love. 

"I won't stay here for dinner. I came to visit you this time. First, I want to talk to you about the 'Xenos,' and second, I came to see you, Kaguya, and everyone else. Now that I see that everyone is fine, my purpose has already been achieved, and it's almost time to return. There's still a lot to do." 

Link reached out and rubbed the girl's soft, rose-red hair. 

"Eh? Xenos? Is that...?" Feeling the warmth of Link's palm, Alise asked doubtfully. 

"Those are monsters with reason and the ability to communicate." 

"Well, let me tell you the details later." Goddess Astraea stood up after calming the strangeness in her body and said, "But Link, if you want me to promise you something, you must do me a favor first." 

"Ah? What's wrong?" 

"It's been a while since Alise and Kaguya broke through, but their skills haven't improved much during this time. I heard that you helped train Ais Wallenstein. I hope you have some free time as well. Come, how about you train Alise and the others?" 

"Of course, it's no problem; I agree." 

Naturally, Link wouldn't turn down such a small request.

Having more contact with girls could deepen his relationships with them.

Besides Alise, Kaguya, and Ryuu are rare and beautiful girls.

Why not get along with beautiful girls? 

Hey, hey. 

Astraea naturally couldn't see Link's thoughts.

After seeing Link agree, she nodded and accepted this commission. 

In this way, two families will assist with the Xenos matter. 

Link no longer plans to search for another Familia.

The main reason is that they are still unreliable and cannot be trusted.

For example, the Loki Familia, although it would be better to seek their help, is not well-known to Link.

As the saying goes, one may know people but not their hearts; it is inevitable that they will appear hostile—Xenos. 

If this situation truly occurs, all preparations will be in vain if it escalates into a significant issue.

Not only will the Xenos' view of humans diminish, but also the Xenos' trust in humanity will be greatly reduced.

As for the Astraea Familia and the Artemis Familia, Link has built a good rapport with them and understands everyone's nature, so he requested their assistance. 

He hope everything goes well. 

Oh, and it's also time to purchase a mansion to use as a family base.

There are now seven people in total, including Olga, Asagi, Celestine, and Lucie, along with himself, Hestia, and Haruhime, who just joined.

The current house doesn't have enough rooms.

The system will definitely attract more characters later on, and some Xenos will reside there as well. 

"It seems that the house problem needs to be solved first."

What a pity.

It would be great if the Apollo Familia came to bother him like in the original work.

Then, the War Games would simply take his house as their own and eliminate the need to look for it. 

Gee, it's unfortunate that Apollo didn't come to disturb him.

"Forget it, spend more money."

There's nothing that money can't solve.

If there is, it must be because there isn't enough money. 

... 

After Link returned home and took Hestia with him, the two set out together to look for a suitable house.

With Link's ability to make money, Orario's biggest real estate boss at the Tower of Babel quickly guided Link and Hestia to find their desired mansion.

The entire mansion is located on the south side of North Street.

A little further south is the entrance to the underground city, and to the west is the bustling city center.

In a prosperous area like Orario, where land is at a premium, it occupies five acres of land, or 3,300 square meters.

The entire building is luxuriously decorated, and with a two-story basement, the building has eight floors in total.

The main building, banquet hall, and gardens

Everything can imagine is available. 

"How… how much does this cost?"

Hestia anxiously looked at the real estate owner who had brought them to visit. 

"Goddess, the price of this house is 1.1 billion valis." 

"One… billion!!!"

Damn, 11B . 

"Yes, if you buy it, there is almost an acre of building land next to it, which can be included in the sale. If there is demand for forging or alchemy in the future, you can build a forging room and an alchemy room there," the real estate boss introduced to Link. 

In the original work, as a rare treasure created by the gods, the Hestia Sword built by Hephaestus costs only 200 million valis.

This mansion is worth five Hestia Swords or more.

Is it worth it?

"Link, how about we take another look and find a cheaper one?" 

"No, that's all!" 

"Huh!?" Hestia froze on the spot. 

"Link, 1.1 billion; isn't that too expensive?" 

"Is there a hot spring here where you can bathe? Hestia, haven't you always wanted a house with a hot spring?"

Hestia's cheeks turned red when she saw Link thinking specifically about her. 

"The house... if the house is smaller, we can also build a hot spring..." 

"Just this one," Link rubbed Hestia's head.

"There's also an acre of land there, which members who need it can build on in the future." 

As he spoke, Link glanced at the real estate boss beside him.

"We'll pay 500 million valis in one go and move in. The remaining 600 million valis will be divided over six months, with 100 million paid each month. You see how it works?" 

"Okay! Of course, it's no problem, respected Mr. 'Godslayer'!" 

Naturally, the real estate boss was quite pleased. 

In all of Orario, there are only a handful of families who can afford to spend this amount on purchasing a house.

If the house isn't sold, it will essentially be a loss. 

The other party is also eager to sell it quickly.

After all, if it can't be sold, it will incur significant costs just for maintenance and cleaning every month.

If it can't be sold, it will be a financial burden. 

According to the agreement, Link swiftly signed the purchase contract. 

Now, Link's total resources, including gold, amounted to approximately 1.3 billion valis, which was entirely justifiable. 

A substantial amount of gold is mined each month.

When the time comes, it can be used to replace some of the gold gradually. 

"Okay, Hestia, from now on this will be our 'Chimney Mansion' Have you thought about our family emblem?" 

"Hehe~ I already considered it!" 

Hestia, who had prepared ahead of time, pulled out a blueprint from somewhere. 

Link took the drawing and unfolded it, revealing a pattern depicted on it. 

It showed a realistic five-clawed divine dragon coiled around and guarding a sphere of golden divine fire. 

"Link has a dragon tattoo on his back, so the dragon in the design represents Link, and the golden fire in the stove represents me. Link will always be with me and cannot be separated!" 

"Okay," Link gently picked up little Hestia and said softly, "This dragon will always protect this flame."
