“Bell, Aiz…Please try to treat the goddess with a little more care…”

Kam spoke their names gravely before giving his request rather awkwardly.

The two shrank back, ashamed of themselves.

It was time for dinner. After what had happened earlier, the pair headed to the dining room. If they stayed in the room with the goddess, it wouldn’t have been good for her peace of mind.

At first, a near-crazed Hestia had been screaming, “Bring me Wallensomething!” but naturally, it was impossible for her to maintain that level of energy, and she eventually wore herself out. Still panting from the effort, she obediently slipped back into bed, exhausted.

“Dad, they seem like they’re sorry already, so that’s enough. Let’s have dinner.”

They began eating supper at Rina’s suggestion. Foraged plants from the mountain and fish caught from the river made up most of the food.

There were seven people around the table, including Aiz and Bell and Kam and Rina. Besides Rina, Kam had three sons who lived at the residence. They were all older than her and all half-breeds, crosses with elves and animal people.

They were as polite and cheerful as Rina, so warm conversation developed around the table.

“Aiz, about earlier…”

Sitting to her left, Bell trembled as he looked like he was about to apologize, but Aiz was being difficult and looked away from him in a pout. Complete despair crossed his face. Watching the two of them, Rina and Kam chuckled.

“I thought you looked like a doll at first, but…Bell can get that expression out of you.”

“…?”

Across from Aiz, sitting next to Kam, Rina smiled.

What expression? Aiz just cocked her head in confusion, not sure what the girl was trying to say.

Hanging his head from the shock, Bell didn’t register what she had said at all.

“How about one drink, Bell? I brought some special alcohol from the storehouse that’s just right for occasions like this.”

“Ah…Um, I’m not really one for—”

“Come on, brother. Can’t you see Bell’s uncomfortable?”

The animal person sitting to Aiz’s right had been offering the wooden mug of alcohol he had poured for Bell. He just shrugged and looked wistfully at the untouched drink, then set it back in front of himself when Rina scolded him…

Watching the back-and-forth going on around her, Aiz glanced at the boy.

What should I do? I was probably being immature, and I want to make up with him, but I’m still kind of mad at him…She cycled through those thoughts in her mind. The young Aiz in her heart raged like a minotaur.

She knew that Bell was discreetly peeking over at her, too. Feeling extremely awkward as her mind raced over what to do, she reached out for the mug next to her.

The one she picked up wasn’t hers, though. It was the one set aside by Kam’s son.

And the second it touched her lips—

—Aiz blacked out.

Immediately after that—splash!

“Hgn?”

She was confused as she felt water hitting her face.

Unsure what had just happened, Aiz realized that her face and clothes were drenched and finally together that someone had thrown a lot of water at her.
