Short-lived Seriousness (長続きしない
The story was later adapted in Memoria Freese to promote the fifth episode of the third season of the anime.
Summary[]
Hestia talked with Lili and Welf of their respective meetings with Ouranos and the Xenos in their Hidden Village the day after the Hestia Familia took Wiene to the latter.
Hestia was worried about the heavy atmosphere around her dependents but soon her melancholic expression turned tense when she heard many asked Bell for a handshake.
Trying to hide her concern, she asked if the Xenos women were pretty or beautiful and got startled when she learnt of an Almiraj, thinking she had a humanoid and soft body. The Goddess finally broke upon being told she seemed to have liked Bell and had licked his face quite a bit.
Having completely misunderstood the matter, Hestia cried out believing that someone else was trying to get Bell, and declared that she would not allow inter-race marriages. Lili was about to point out that it would be the same between Gods and Humans, but Welf stopped her before she said anything.
Watching their Goddess lean back with her head in her hands, Lili lamented that she was not able to remain serious for long. Welf suggested that perhaps it was an attempt to lighten the mood, but Lili dismissed the idea sharply.
