Danmachi: Is It Wrong to Be the Main Character in Orario?

Chapter 893: This Is My Greatest Advantage!

Once Freya calmed down, she immediately understood. At the same time, she finally grasped why Bell had been so wary of her for such a long time.Thinking it through now, this explanation neatly resolved the doubts Freya had carried for so long.

Even so, Freya was certain that the boy’s personality was not shaped solely by fragmented memories from his past life. However, there was no doubt that those memories allowed him to investigate many matters far more efficiently.

’Honestly, what did I even do in the future? To make Bell treat me with this level of caution.’

’But if we look at it from this angle...’

’If every choice Bell made was based on knowing the future, then his joining Hestia’s familia was never an accident. It was a deliberate choice.’

’Because he knew Hestia, and knew she was staying at Hephaestus’s home, he volunteered to go to Hephaestus from the very beginning. That was simply to test whether Hestia had already descended to the Genkai.’

’He never considered me even once.’

Just what had she done in the future to make Bell so guarded against her, to the point that he rejected her from the very beginning?

Artemis was relatively unaffected. Her relationship with Hestia was the closest, and even knowing that Bell had chosen Hestia from the start didn’t complicate her feelings much. After all, she hadn’t even been in Orario at the time.

They had always known Bell was hiding something. Bell had never gone out of his way to conceal that fact. But none of them had imagined that such an enormous secret lay behind it.

Sitting beside Hestia, Hephaestus felt as though her vinegar jar had shattered, a sharp sourness rising in her mouth.

"Eh???"

Seeing Hestia’s clueless expression only made Hephaestus feel even more sour.

"If it’s because Bell has memories of his past life, then when choosing a familia, he would naturally pick the one most suitable for himself. That’s why he first came to my familia to volunteer. It was all just to check on you."

Back then, there had been no real relationship between Bell and her. But now there was. Looking back on the past from her current position only made the bitterness more apparent.

"Oh... right, right!"

If Bell knew the future, then the Bell she had met in Hephaestus’s shop back then had come there specifically for her. Hehe... just thinking about it made Hestia feel a little giddy.

"With knowledge of the future, Bell knew that choosing me was the best option."

Seriously, was this brat trying to sour everyone to death?

Especially knowing that this mysterious youth had chosen Hestia from the very start. It was like taking the best possible pick and deliberately handing it to the weakest familia.

"He only came to the Genkai half a year ago and was still freeloading at Hephaestus’s place. Why would a kid like that choose Hestia?!"

Why would a child who knew the future choose Hestia without hesitation? Did Hestia possess some hidden advantage they didn’t know about?

If Hestia truly had some exceptional advantage, she wouldn’t have ended up freeloading at Hephaestus’s home more than a year ago.

Because none of them could find an answer, the gods were even more baffled by why that child had chosen Hestia.

Hestia bristled at their complaints. What did they mean she had no advantages? Her advantage was right there in Hephaestus.

"When Bell joined my familia, the first person I went to for forging his weapons was Hephaestus."

"And even when we bought the house, Hephaestus helped with that."

Hestia’s reasoning made perfect sense.
