As soon as the door opened, Hestia ran in and quickly got into the neat and orderly group of bookcases.
Watching this scene, Leon shook his head slightly. Then he walked in and turned on all the magic stone lamps in the entire library.
Hestia had already chosen the books and was sitting at a desk to start her reading session.
After taking a look, Leon ignored her and walked towards the backyard.
After making a casual meal, Leon came out with two plates of fried noodles.
"Here, read after you finish eating."
Leon pushed one of the plates to Hestia.
Hestia often reads so much that she even forgets lunch and dinner, so Leon always prepares a portion for Hestia when cooking.
"Thank you, Leon."
Hestia quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
According to the customs of Orario, knives and forks are the common tableware, but Leon was not used to them, so he usually prepares chopsticks.
Hestia was very surprised when she had seen chopsticks at first.
She had seen this thing before, at the place of her friend Takemikazuchi. In fact, only he used this thing in Orario.
It is said that Takemikazuchi comes from the Far East, and people there use chopsticks for eating.
Hestia had not expected Leon to use chopsticks as tableware. But she was just a little surprised for a moment. After that, Hestia didn't care at all.
"Hestia, I will be very busy for a while, and I don't have time to take care of the library. Maybe, you can come here and act as a librarian."
"I will give you a salary of 20,000 Valis every month, how about it?"
Leon asked Hestia while eating.
This is what Leon had thought of while cooking just now.
Now that he has become an adventurer, his focus will be on the dungeon, and he will not have time to take care of the library.
But this library is one of the oldest libraries in Orario, and it was left by the old elf who had taken care of him, so it was not easy for him to abandon it.
The best way is to hire someone to help manage it.
He needs to find someone who can make him feel at ease. And the only person he can trust is his only friend Hestia.
It just so happens that Hestia also likes to read books, so letting Hestia be the librarian is a win-win situation.
Hestia can read books and get a salary. And he can go to the dungeon without worrying about the library.
"Really?"
Hearing what Leon said, Hestia paused while eating. She quickly looked up in surprise.
"Yeah, really." Leon nodded and replied.
"Of course."
After confirming that Leon was not joking, Hestia hurriedly agreed.
She liked reading books, especially the books in this library. Sometimes, she becomes so engrossed that she is unable to put them down.
But she needs to work and can't come here every day. Now Leon has given her such a job where she can read books AND get paid.
How could she refuse?
"Okay, here is the key, you can come here from tomorrow."
Hearing Hestia's agreement, Leon took the key from his waist and handed it to Hestia.
Hestia reached out to take it, and then seemed to remember something and asked.
"Leon, do you have anything to do?"
"You actually need to find a librarian?"
After Leon had inherited this library, he had stayed in this library for several years.
She had heard from the residents around that even if Leon didn't open the library for some matters, those instances would only last for a day or two.
But now, Leon was saying that he might be away often.
"I have become an adventurer, and I will go to the dungeon from now on."
Leon did not hide it and said it directly.
Hestia is his only friend in Orario. He didn't want to hide this from Hestia, nor did he want to lie to Hestia.
"Eh? Leon, you became an adventurer?"
Hearing this, Hestia exclaimed in surprise.
She had never thought that Leon would become an adventurer.
She had asked Leon if he wanted to be an adventurer before, but Leon had refused.
Unexpectedly, after just one day of not seeing each other, Leon had actually become an adventurer.
However, after being surprised, Hestia's face quickly showed an expression full of sorrow.
She had asked Leon to create a familia with her before, but Leon had refused at that time. But now Leon has quietly joined another familia.
"My situation is special, Hestia, don't ask." Leon smiled slightly, and then said.
"Okay then."
Hestia pursed her lips and didn't say much, but she didn't want to pay attention to Leon. She continued to eat and read the book.
Seeing this, Leon secretly apologized in his heart, and then finished the dinner in no time.
"Hestia, I'll leave this place for you to watch. I'm going in."
Standing up, Leon said, but Hestia ignored him and seemed to be sulking.
Seeing this, Leon apologized in his mind and then carried the plate into the inner courtyard.
Putting the plate in the kitchen, Leon returned to his bedroom.
After washing up in the bathroom, Leon sat on the bed to update his falna.
