With my neon, I decided to go to the church to talk to Hestia. The st time I tacted her was yesterday. She's still looking for a job.

  Again, I asked her to stop looking for a job, but she ignored me. I should do just that. Ignore her.

  It won't be long before I get a new house and a lot of money, and then she'll fet all about getting a job.

  "Goddess, are you there?" I walked into the church.

  Hestia didn't answer me. I looked for her until I heard some sounds ihe bathroom. I knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside. "Huh? Who is it? Is that you, Luan?" she asked, startled.

  "Yes, it's me. I came here to show you the neon I got. I talked about it with you yesterday, don't you remember? When we had diogether."

  "Oh yes, wait a minute!" Hestia said.

  I returo the living room and sat to wait for Hestia.

  A few mier, she appeared.

  "So this is the on you were talking about. Are you sure it's good? Isn't the bde a bit too curved? Also, it looks very fragile."

  "I bought it from one of the Hephaestus stores, so if the on breaks, it's their fault. But about the bde, isn't it perfeaking deeper cuts?" I squeezed the handle of the dagger and swung.

  "If I hit someone, I'll make a fatal cut for sure. It's very sharp."

  "I see. But the bde is very short, so you o be careful."

  "Yes. I'm training my movements a lot. I want to focus a lot on my speed and moves. That way, I fight even big monsters without getting hit."

  "I'm gd you're so itted, but don't overdo it. What now? What should we do?"

  "What do you mean?"

  "I mean... You didn't e here just to show me your neon, did you? Don't you want to go out for a bite to eat or something?" Hestia looked away, embarrassed. "If you don't want to, that's fine!" She said.

  "I want to go out to eat with you. What do you want to eat? We'll go wherever you want, you choose."

  "I feel like eating something cooked by you."

  "Something cooked by me?" I looked surprised at Hestia.

  True! I've only prepared food for her twice, and she seemed to like my food very much. I should cook for her more often since she likes it. They say it's also a way of winning a woman over.

  "All right, let's buy the ingredients, and I'll prepare something for you. After that, I'll write."

  "Speaking of which, hasn't your book been published yet?"

  "The book will go on sale soon... Probably. I'll visit the library tomorrow to see how everything is going."

  "You're already writing the sed book, aren't you?" Hestia asked. "I haven't even had a ce to read the first book..."

  "Don't worry, if the book is already selling, I'll bring you a copy tomorrow. What do you think?"

  "Right! Now it's time to cook! I'm starving!"

  "Sure, sure~~ Are you ing with me, or should I buy the ingredients myself?"

  "I'll go with you. I'm tired of being alone."

  "If you were feeling so lonely, you should have told me. I'd let you stay in my room with me."

  "Haaa?!!!" Hestia shouted in surprise. "Impossible! I'm not staying in that room with you! Hmph!"

  "There's o say it like this. I'm sad now..."

  "Oh, sorry, it's just that...."

  "Just kidding, Goddess. Let's go."

  I got up, and we left the church together.

  We went to a nearby market, and I let Hestia choose all the ingredients. Two bags full of ingredients.

  Wheuro the church, I prepared pasta for her. It's probably the best pasta I've ever made in my life. The ingredients here are much better than those oh.

  ####The vegetables are fresher, the meat is more tender, everything is better.

  What an incredible pce.

  ####

  It was the day, and as soon as I got up and had a shower, I went straight to the library. I hope they've already started selling my book.

  And to my surprise, when I arrived at the library door, there were a lot of people outside.

  Young people, older people, men, women. They were all f a long line. When I saw this, I immediately started thinking about my book.

  My heart started rag, and I got nervous.

  'Is it really because of my book? That all these people are here...'

  Well, it's not really my book... But in this world, IT IS MY BOOK. Are these people here for it?

  I approached the st person in the lio ask.

  "The li's to buy a new book released this m. It's been like this since 5 AM." The older man replied.

  When I asked the name of the book, the man said: "Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World"

  'Yes, that's it!'

  But how do all these people know about the existeny book and that it has started selling? Hmm... Maybe someone famous advertised my book, but who?

  Then, I saw Hestia.

  She was ihe store, holding a poster with the name of my book written on it.

  "That's why most of the ers are men..."

  I didn't go into the store. I stayed outside to see how people reacted to my book.

  Many flipped through the first few pages right there. And many of them didn't stop reading and tinued reading even as they walked.

  They seemed very eained.

  'I'll wait for the number of ers to decrease to go inside. I o know why Hestia is here, helping to advertise my book.

  But to my surprise, the news about a book with a new proposal and different writing spread, and more ers began to show up. It was like an epidemic.

  I hadn't expected it.

  'I became famous with my first publication!'
