Chapter 5 An Honest And Reliable Little Man!

“Are you the newcomer who wants to join the family?”

With long black hair, red pupils, and slightly raised hair that is very conspicuous, coupled with that tall figure, he is walking towards him with light steps, and he in front of him trembles slightly as he moves.

It seemed that she had just come out of the forging room. The woman was covered in sweat all over her body, and her upper body was only covered with a chest cloth. This kind of presumptuous image made Peter not know what to say for a moment. It also started to get out of control.

For a good-blooded boy, the scene in front of him was indeed extremely shocking.

“Boy, where are your eyes looking!” The woman walked in front of Peter, and when she noticed the obvious deviation of the other’s line of sight, the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly raised, and she put her head up, “As a newcomer, so It’s rude to keep staring at girls, don’t you know?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry!”

Peter, who came back to his senses, hastily raised his gaze, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

When he was discovered while peeking, it would be more embarrassing than this situation, maybe his first impression in the other party’s heart has been greatly reduced!

But even so, you still have to work hard for it.

“I’m meeting you for the first time. You are the Captain of Hephaestus family, Miss Tsubaki Collbrande, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Peter. I’m a foreigner who just came to Orario. I want to join Hephaestus family, please allow me, Miss Tsubaki Collbrande!”

Leaning slightly, Peter’s tone was neither humble nor overbearing.

Tsubaki, who originally thought the other party was just a pervert, looked surprised, with a hint of interest in his eyes, smiled and waved his hand, “You don’t need to be so formal, just call me Tsubaki. I heard Liz mentioned it, come in with me!”

“Yes, excuse me!”

Following Tsubaki, the two entered the inner room together, a room specially used for receiving foreign guests.

“Sit down,” Tsubaki came to the main table and sat down, looked at Peter again, and then continued: “Everyone in the Adventurer’s Guild should have told you about Orario’s current situation, right? Because of what happened last year, Many families have suffered heavy losses, even our Hephaestus family is no exception, many families have even withdrawn from Orario, if it were not for the shortage of manpower, we would not be recruiting at this time.”

“Most of the backbone of the family members are busy improving their abilities and have no time to train newcomers. In fact, we also wanted to recruit some adventurers with a little bit of characteristics, but none of them were recruited. Now you, a newcomer, came to the door on your own initiative. It’s really unexpected!”

“Uhhhhhh……”

Hearing Tsubaki’s words, Peter was slightly taken aback.

Misha did not mention this matter to him, and he just came to Orario, so he didn’t have time to understand the specific situation. Who knows so many inside stories.

Now he also knows why Hephaestus family recruits people.

“Sure enough, looking at you like this, you don’t know at all. It’s really difficult.”

Tsubaki, who had been paying attention to the changes in Peter’s expression, scratched her head distressedly, “Then what are your strengths? What kind of skills have you mastered, such as forging, or special magic?”

“Uh… not at all…”

Peter smiled awkwardly again, feeling a little embarrassed himself.

Sure enough, after hearing the response, Tsubaki’s expression became very strange, and the words in his heart blurted out in an instant: “Then how did you have the confidence to come here for an interview? Although our Hephaestus family is not the strongest, but It’s also the top group, didn’t your person in charge tell you?”

Of course I said it, but can’t people have a little dream?

“Newcomers who don’t know anything are the most troublesome, so the last question, why did you choose to join Hephaestus family?”

When this question was raised, Tsubaki’s expression also became very serious.

As the head of the group, she is also responsible for the recruitment of the family members. Naturally, she is unwilling to let some bad-tempered guys into the team. You can have some minor shortcomings, but you must not be in a bad mood.

Perhaps some gods like this kind of child and treat the other’s various behaviors as fun, but this method will never work with Hephaestus family.

Therefore, every adventurer who joins the family, Tsubaki will ask him this question.

Even if he doesn’t have the ability to tell whether someone is lying or not, Tsubaki, who has been through a lot of hard work, has a pair of sharp eyes, and the accuracy rate is about 90%!

“Is there a reason for wanting to join Hephaestus Familia?”

After a little hesitation, Peter’s eyes were firm and he did not dodge at all, “Hephaestus’s family is strong enough and has sufficient resources. The God of Hephaestus’s character is also very easy-going, and there are no rumors of internal struggles among the family. Which is great for newcomers.”

“In addition, I also want to learn forging. For adventurers, equipment and weapons are very important, so if possible, I want to solve the future equipment problems by myself.”

“I can’t guarantee that I can do anything for the family, but I will definitely not do anything that endangers the family!”

“Eh…” It was Tsubaki’s turn now, she had never seen such a formal response, the boy in front of her was really different.

“Although your honest answer surprised me a little, but it’s barely qualified. Come with me to see Goddess. If she agrees, then you are a member of Hephaestus’s family!”
