However, before leaving, Leon specifically asked Tsubaki not to reveal his affairs to anyone.
After all, if Hephaestus knows, Hestia will probably also know about it.
Although Tsubaki was a little surprised, she nodded and agreed. After all, it was just a small matter, nothing big.
When Leon bought a large amount of potions from Miach before, he had also asked Miach and Naaza to keep his matters a secret.
Although they didn't know why Leon wanted to conceal the fact that he had bought a large amount of potions, they both promised Leon that they would not tell anyone about it.
After leaving the Hephaestus familia, Leon returned to the library.
The library was not closed at this time, but there were not many people in the library, only a few.
And a rare instance happened today, Hestia wasn't reading books.
Instead, she put her chin on the counter of the cashier, with a look of despair on her face.
Leon knew why Hestia was like this. During these four days, Hestia had run around outside for two days, but her efforts were of no use.
Hestia was now in a state of self doubt. She hadn't expected recruiting a person into her familia to be so difficult.
"Are you okay? Hestia?"
Looking at Hestia's appearance, Leon asked with concern.
"Ah! I'm fine, Leon. Go and rest first. I need some alone time."
Hestia looked at Leon blankly, waved her hand, and said weakly.
Seeing this, Leon didn't disturb Hestia. After taking another look at Hestia, he walked towards the inner courtyard.
After getting back to his bedroom, Leon washed up as usual, and then updated his falna again today.

Looking at the changes in his stats, Leon blinked slightly, but he was not too shocked in his heart.
Regarding the changes in his stats today, Leon had two guesses in his heart.
The first is that his basic stats will reach S999.
The second is that he will break the limit, enter a new domain and reach SS rank.
Even the legendary Ottar could only get to S999, he was also trapped by this limit.
Since the appearance of the falna system, only the protagonist Bell and his aunt Alfia have broken their limits.
Leon was confident in his talent but that doesn't equate to blind confidence.
Bell had a special skill, so he could get stronger quickly, and also break his limits. But Leon doesn't have a similar skill.
Even in that case, Leon's growth rate is not slower than Bell at all. In fact, it is even much faster than Bell's.
It took Bell one and a half months to upgrade from Lv. 1 to Lv. 2.
But Leon only took a few days to reach S rank in all of his basic stats.
This showcases that he is much more talented than Bell who has the skill Liaris Freese.
With this monstrous talent, Leon was naturally fully confident in himself.
He had a guess that he would be able to break his limits like Bell and step into the domain of SS rank.
Today's update confirmed Leon's guess. It seems he can indeed break his limits.
Therefore, Leon was not too surprised, and showed an as expected reaction.
"Since the limit has been broken, there is no need to rush to upgrade."
"I can continue to increase my basic stats, and upgrade after they cannot be further improved."
Looking at the changes on the paper, Leon smiled slightly, and muttered in his heart. Then, he burned the paper.
After leaving the room, Leon went to prepare dinner, and then brought it to Hestia.
Pushing the dinner towards Hestia, Leon started to eat his portion.
"Hey, Leon, is it really that difficult to recruit someone into a familia?"
Hestia didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and started eating. But while eating, she complained to Leon about the difficulty of recruiting others to her familia.
"Well, a new familia is not that desirable. You need to work hard."
"Come on, keep working hard. There will definitely be people willing to join your familia sooner or later."
Leon comforted with a smile, but a white-haired and red-eyed character appeared in his mind.
He wondered if Bell would join Hestia's familia in this timeline. Although he hadn't done anything to directly affect Hestia and Bell's encounter, no one can predict the butterfly effect.
"Well, I know. I will work hard to recruit a member as soon as possible and let them accompany you." Hestia nodded and said.
"Uh, you are still thinking about me."
Hearing Hestia's words, Leon smiled slightly.
If his situation was not too shocking, Leon wanted to tell Hestia directly. However, after thinking about it, Leon didn't say anything.
If he really says something, it might make Hestia less determined to create a familia and she might give up.
Leon didn't know why Hestia was so good to him. Even the reason she was trying to recruit others into her familia seemed to be because she wanted him to have a companion to go to the dungeon together with.
If Hestia knows that he is already in the middle floors, she will probably have no motivation to start a familia.
After all, the members of her familia will only be active in the upper floors, and they won't have the ability to go to the middle floors and thus can't accompany him.
"Yeah, I'm worried about you being alone in the dungeon." Hestia nodded and said.
Hearing this, Leon turned silent for moment. Then, he asked the question he had been concerned about in a low voice.
"Hestia, why do you care about me so much?"
Hestia's thoughts on creating a familia are very obvious these days, and what is even more obvious is Hestia's purpose in creating a familia.
It can be said that Hestia wanted to create a familia entirely for himself.
Why does Hestia want to do this for him?
"Leon, I have a good impression of you. Not as a friend, but as a partner in the future."
"I don't want anything to happen to you."
Hearing Leon's question, Hestia was slightly stunned. She did not answer immediately, but fell silent.
After a while, a bright smile appeared on Hestia's face and she said with a smile.
Hearing this, Leon was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he smiled and slowly spoke.
"Is that so?"
"It just so happens that I like you too."
