Is it wrong to want to destroy the dungeon?

chapter 5 - I hate you

"Uhm..." Bell diverted his face from facing the giant woman of the Hostess of Fertility. "I'm sorry for causing trouble last time."

The tall woman named Mia sighed in response. "Well, fights like that aren't uncommon to see. At least you apologized though, most others don't. Nothing would have really happened if you didn't apologize, just don't start a commotion like that again."

Bell slightly grimaced. "Yeah, my goddess told me to tone it down a bit as well."

"Hm, well you should listen to her. Listen kid, I'm not gonna pretend to know you and why you acted like that. But you should just ignore them, an alive adventurer being made fun of is better than a dead one." She chided. "If you just focus on adventuring and getting out alive, that's better than what other adventurers can say. Just a small piece of advice."

Bell just hummed at that. He didn't know how much he could really agree with the 'be careful' mindset. Sure for the most part you don't want to do anything stupid, but then there's that dumb restriction of doing something that even the gods would find impressive to level up, so you kind of don't have a choice.

He guessed if whoever didn't want to level up should listen to that advice.

"Bell, you're fine right?" Syr said. The whole reason he even came here was to apologize for causing a commotion and causing trouble for Syr.

Bell tilted his head at the question. "Yeah, for the most part, why?"

"Well... You kind of look like you don't want to be here." Syr said shyly.

Oh, well that was obvious. Bell sighed. "Yeah, I wanted to stay home and play my board games, but I figured if I was gonna go out for any reason, I might as well go to the dungeon."

Syr blinked at that. "Board games?"

"Yes, board games."

"Oh... sorry, you just didn't look like the type..." She mused.

What does that even mean? Bell just shrugged. "Alright, well I just came to apologize, so I'll be taking my leave."

"Aww." Syr slightly whined. "I wanted to talk more."

"Sure." Bell deadpanned as he turned away from her. "I'll come back from time to time though. Just not tonight."

"Hmhmhm." Syr chuckled. "I guess I'll talk to you when you come again."

"And make sure you spend lots of money all right!"

Hm, maybe he shouldn't come back.

"BEHOLD! For I am Ganesha!"

Hestia huffed as she ignored the proud Ganesha's speech.

She crawled on the floor behind a table where most other people couldn't see her. She had to take as much food as she could. Sure she could live with potatoes, but she wanted more variety.

Though the real reason she was here was to hopefully talk to Hephaestus... But eating this food was a bonus.

Unfortunately, someone noticed her.

"Oh, it's good to see you are doing well, Hestia." That voice. Hestia turned her head, still kneeling down with a piece of bread in her mouth, and saw it was Freya, and she was wearing a very expensive looking white dress of course.

She quickly gulped the food in her mouth and stood up. "Freya."

"Oh, I apologize, were you in the middle of something?" She asked with a simple smirk
