Chapter 121: Chapter 121 - Familia Emblem
4/5
---
It wasn't long before—
Raven Eltharion slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
"You're finally awake?"
"Tada~!"
"Raven-kun, look at this!"
Hestia beamed proudly as she handed him a piece of parchment.
Raven curiously took it and focused his gaze.
"This is… flames and…"
"Feathers?"
The parchment depicted an emblem—flames overlapping with feathers.
Faced with the surprised young man, Hestia's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't help but giggle.
"That's right."
"This is the emblem of our Familia."
Hestia's symbol was the sacred flame of protection, and Raven's was the feather.
The emblem represented their Familia—a union formed by the two of them.
"Not bad. The design actually looks quite nice."
Raven naturally understood her intent and gave a soft chuckle.
"With this emblem, our Familia can finally hold its head high."
Hestia smiled brightly with joy.
"You're right."
"I'll make sure our Familia rises to prominence."
In Orario, a Familia's emblem had very practical uses.
For example, when out and about and in need of something, but lacking enough coins—
One could write an IOU.
The adventurer would then sign the contract and stamp it with the emblem of their Familia.
The payment could be made later.
Just like in Rivira Town, where adventurers mostly bartered or traded using written proof.
After all, no one would carry coins into the Dungeon and burden themselves with extra weight.
So the shop would keep the customer's name and Familia emblem as collateral.
When the shopkeeper returned from the Dungeon, they'd bring the note back and claim the money from the adventurer's Familia.
On the other hand, for resource trade-ins, it was the reverse.
The shop would issue a receipt, and the customer would collect their payment from their own Familia.
So…
A Familia-exclusive emblem was extremely important and played a vital role.
(PS: Correction to earlier settings—when Hestia first founded the Familia, they didn't have an emblem.)
(In the original story, the emblem was made after winning the War Game.)
(The canon emblem is flame and bell; here, it's flame and feather.)
…
"Raven-kun~"
"I picked up the custom formalwear. There's a set for you too."
"Go try it on!"
Hestia giggled as she playfully pinched his cheek.
"Alright."
Raven got up and turned his gaze to the luxurious tuxedo laid out on the bed.
A sleek black suit paired with high-end leather shoes.
Hestia's outfit was a sea-blue, off-shoulder mermaid dress—
Decorated with lace and ruffles that sparkled elegantly.
Moments later…
The two of them changed into their million-valis-worth attire.
"Woooow~!"
"Raven-kun~~ you look so handsome!"
"Hehe~"
Hestia cheerfully praised him, clearly thrilled to be wearing such a beautiful dress. Her mood seemed exceptionally bright.
"You're stunning too. Your whole aura's different now."
"It's like you've become a real princess from some foreign kingdom."
Raven gave her an appreciative look and smiled contentedly.
With the formal dress, Hestia exuded both grace and charm.
"Aw, you sweet talker! Come here and let me test just how sweet you really are!"
Hestia opened her arms wide and dove toward him.
A long, tender kiss…
Once their lips parted—
"Come on, let me fix up your twin tails."
"Mhm!"
Hestia obediently sat down on the bed, enjoying Raven's gentle touch as he combed her hair.
"I've already asked a goddess friend of mine to craft your first-rate gear."
"She was totally shocked when she saw how much money I could pay!"
"In about three days, it'll be ready."
"Hehe~"
Hestia squinted happily as she laughed, clearly pleased.
These days, she was no longer the freeloader in front of Hephaistos that she used to be.
"Is that so?"
Raven chuckled at her words.
"I spent 1,250,000,000 valis on the gear. Still got 50 million left."
"Then keep the extra. Use it however you want."
"Okay!"
Hestia grinned even wider.
"Raven-kun, how was the Dungeon today?"
After finishing a soft wavy ponytail for her, Raven spoke quietly.
"I was planning to go deep-diving today."
"But something came up halfway, so I didn't make it."
"What happened?"
Hestia asked, surprised.
Raven paused for a moment and then explained what had happened.
There was nothing he needed to hide from his goddess.
"…So, after that battle, I think I've finally fulfilled the conditions to level up."
"Reaching Level 4 is just a matter of time now."
After hearing the story—
Hestia took a deep breath, overwhelmed with admiration.
"You… you… you're amazing."
There was no other way to say it.
As expected of her child.
Even a major Dungeon crisis was nothing more than a minor event to him.
"Then let me update your status."
"Sure."

"Th-this… another rare skill?!"
"Your stats… they rose way too fast!"
"You actually broke the stat cap in every category!"
"And your development abilities skyrocketed too!"
Hestia was completely shocked again.
Every time she updated Raven's status, it left her reeling.
To think—
It hadn't even been two full days since his last level-up.
The speed was terrifying.
Raven glanced at the numbers on the parchment, his expression calm, yet satisfied.
"Alright. It's getting late."
"Let's head out."
