===
Eina is really devoted, she actually intended to meet with Ryuu to confirm that Aston was not lying.
But can Ryuu meet you?
If you change your identity, Aston might agree.
As a guild member, how can a wanted adventurer meet you?
It's impossible, no matter how you look at it.
However, Aston didn't refuse and asked Eina to wait at the guild early tomorrow morning, promising that he would bring them.
Ryuu couldn't see her, but the others could.
Anyway, we made an agreement with Loki and the others.
Aston prepared two doses of the Breast Enlargement Potion last night, one for Loki and one for Tiona, but now Ryuu has used one of them and Loki has used the other, so Aston doesn't have it anymore.
Prepare another dose of Breast Enlargement Potion tonight and bring enough rewards to the Twilight Pavilion to hire some people tomorrow.
Angry Snake Tione, Crusher Tiona, and Sword Princess Ais.
Originally, Loki wanted to bring Bete, but Finn stopped her because Bete's character would not allow such a thing.
There is no need to think about the other three, only Tione and Tiona can do it, especially Tiona, and then Ais.
Ais is the easiest to deal with, such a small issue, all you have to do is say hello, and Ais will not refuse, and besides, it's not free work.
Let Eina meet Ais and the others directly in the morning, so that she won't be worried.
After leaving the guild, Aston hurried back home.
An hour was wasted because Eina dragged him preaching. By the time Aston returned home, it was after five in the evening.
Hestia had also returned by this time.
Moreover, this girl was holding a bag and rubbing it constantly. Aston knew it was valis without even looking at the jingling sound it made.
Judging by the size of the bag, it wasn't much worse than the valis he had exchanged at the guild.
Besides, there is an extra large bag in the corner not far away.
As a pharmacist, Aston immediately recognized the scent of the medicinal materials coming from the bag, and the quality was as good as ever.
The god of medicine, Miach, is truly a god worthy of being a friend.
"Aston, come on, come on."
"Look, these are the profits from today's potion sales." Holding the bag, Hestia turned around as she heard noises and saw Aston standing there, then greeted him excitedly.
Having heard this, Aston slowly walked over and put the bag in his hand on top of her.
"Wow, this is your harvest today!!!" Seeing Aston's bag, Hestia asked excitedly, her eyes shining.
"I put them in the storage space yesterday and forgot to exchange them, so I exchanged them all together today." Aston nodded and explained.
"That's a total of 800,000 Valis." Hestia's obsession with wealth was on full display at the sight of the two bags that were almost identical, and she seemed to be drooling at the corners of her mouth.
"Ah, by the way, Aston, today's income from selling potions is 540,000, and the remaining 60,000 was given to Miach as commission. In addition, I asked Miach to accompany me to buy some medicine and seeds. I put them there." Hestia's reaction was quick, straightened up her image in an instant and told Aston about today's matter in all seriousness.
"Medicine is really a lot of money."
"It's only one hundred thousand valis of medical materials, but the potion has multiplied it five or six times." Hearing Hestia's words, Aston couldn't help but show emotion, even though he knew about it.
"It can't be said like that. Although the pharmacist profession is very profitable, it's also a profession that burns money."
"Training a pharmacist capable of making medicine on his own will consume a huge amount of money."
"It's just you, you're a freak, you're so competent even though you've just acquired the ability to make potions, and you haven't made any mistakes at all." Hestia disagreed with Aston's comment and couldn't help but retort.
"That's right." Aston couldn't help but nod in agreement as he heard the words and the experience of the pharmacist's inheritance flashed through his mind.
What happened to the master-level pharmacist was the same as what Hestia said, he was promoted step by step spending money.
Aston, in other words, went from apprentice to master in a single step, without even having to go through those difficult trials.
"Oh, right, Aston, Miach asked me to thank you on his behalf, and he also agreed to let him take the blame."
"I see." Nodding slightly, Aston thanked him for accepting, then remembered the magical item in the System Space and spoke.
"By the way, Hestia, I have a gift for you." The necklace was taken out of the system room.
"It's so beautiful!!!" Seeing the dazzling necklace in Aston's hand, Hestia couldn't help but exclaim.
"Did you buy this? It's very expensive!!!" Astonished, Hestia couldn't help asking.
"No, it's the same case as Excalibur."
"This thing has a self defense function. As long as it is not a first-class adventurer, no one can do you any harm, Hestia." Aston shook his head and explained. He didn't have to describe all the defensive powers, otherwise it would be difficult to understand.
In short, no one under the gods can hurt her.
Just kidding, no one in Orario can make such a powerful magic item, and the outside world is the same.
And if it's at the level of a first-class adventurer, it will be much easier to accept it.
Although this item is rare, it is still available.
This remark shocked Hestia, who didn't expect Aston to get such a good thing in the dungeon. With a look of excitement on her face, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Really? Aston, put it on me quickly." Fascinated, she turned around rapidly, exposing the back of her beautiful neck to Aston.
Seeing this, Aston stepped forward and gently put it on Hestia.
After putting on the necklace, Hestia immediately turned around and showed off her charm.
"Aston, how is it? Does it look good!!!" Hestia asked Aston.
"It's beautiful, Hestia is so pretty." Aston nodded slightly, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and praised without hesitation.
Even without any jewelry, Hestia is already very beautiful, but after wearing the necklace, Aston feels that Hestia is even more beautiful, giving him a surprise feeling so that his gaze never moved from Hestia.
But none of this was noticed by Hestia, who was excitedly playing with the gift she had received.
This was Aston's first gift to her. Hestia was very happy and appreciated it, the smile on her face not fading.
At the same time, Hestia's vague feeling for Aston became much stronger.
Aston is such a good person.
