Hey everyone, I am happy that you all like this story. I am also really invested here and I want to keep working, I think Bell and Hestia are the thing that will truly help Guts be happy again. I know that his current party has done a lot to him but maybe the path of an adventure might the stuff that makes Guts accept others forever. We will tackle some other Berserk plots later, thanks and let go.

The Black Swordman party saw the Goddess that Guts had found. She was almost the size of Isidro and had the biggest chest out of all the girls around the girl. They didn't know what to say about that.

''Huh…'' Said Schierke a bit nervous.

''Check out those babies. They look juicy.'' Said Isidro in full pervy mode and that got him a smack by Azan.

Smack

''Be polite you brat!'' Said Azan.

''Ouch.'' Said Isidro.

The group didn't know what to say, Guts had a look of ´´This is the best´´ considering his look that might be the only God that would accept him. But they didn't expect the Goddess to be a bit ´´mature´´.

''She looks like a child but has the body of a woman.'' Said Roderick.

''She has breasts even bigger than Lady Farness.'' Said Serpico.

''Hey.'' Said Farness.

''don't be mad sister. You know you are way pretty than her.' Said Magnificio.

The group looked at the goddess and decided to move on with their talk.

''Well so you are a goddess?' Asked Rickert.

''Yep, Guts told me that you guys are stuck in here for a while and you need a God to join a familia. This is common there are ton of people that would rather join a familia than start working on a boring job. You guys are lucky, I have a familia and I am open to new members!'' Said Hestia.

The group liked this idea, they could get some jobs in the city but if they were on a familia they wouldn't lose much money. Either way this plan could work, plus being from a small familia they can get away from sharing too much money with the government.

''Wow thank you so much Goddess Hestia. We will promise to be the best followers!' Said Puck.

''You are puck, right?" Asked Hestia smiling.

''Correct! I knew Guts would talk about me. He and I are best buds.'' Said Puck.

''Guts told me about your names on the way here. I got say you are pretty cute for a fairy, you too Ivalera.'' Said Hestia.

''We are not faires. We are elves.'' Said Ivalera confusing the hell out of Hestia.

''What! But elves don't look like that here!'' Said Hestia.

''Silence, we don't have time for this crap. Move over to the next one.

''Farnesse, you were a noble lady but change your ways when meet Guts. Now you are a mage in training.'' Said Hestia.

''Yes, I hope to one day be a powerful mage as my teacher.'' Said Farnesse.

''It will come one day my dear.'' Said Schierke.

''Schierke, Guts told me that you can all sort of magic and spells. Some of them seemed way too advanced for someone so young. He told me that he is happy that you decided to become the party mage, I think you are going to be someone of great status.'' Said Hestia.

''Oh he talked about me?" Asked Schierke nervous and red.

''He He He.'' Said Ivalera with a smirk

''Serpico, you were a follower of nobles like Farness but changes your ways when you meet Guts. Correct?" Asked Hestia.

''Yes, I am a trusted ally for Guts because of Lady Farness. If you become our Goddess I will promise you that I will protect you with everything I have.'' Said Serpico.

''Oh thank you.'' Said Hestia.

''Nice move there boy.'' Said Azan

''Azan, you were a royal guard but saw the horror they were doing so become rogue. Correct?" Asked Hestia.

''Yes, my dear goddess. I wanted to follow a path of justice and good heart. The truth path for a knight.'' Said Azan.

''Good. You and Rickert and this cute one must be Erica. You two are smith right?" Asked Hestia.

''Yes, me and her were in the care of a legendary smith named Godo. He took us under his wing and taught us some of his craft.'' Said Rickert.

'you are so pretty Goddess.'' Said Erica.

''Stop it!'' Said Hestia blushing.

''But you are.'' Said Erica.

''Godo was the one that crafted most our weapons, including Guts sword right there.'' Said Rickert.

Hestia saw that huge sword on Guts back. If a mere human crafted that thing he could give Hephaestus a run for her money.

''Really, this is impressive.'' Said Hestia amazed at.

''don't touch it.'' Said Guts slapping Hesita hand off

''Ouch! How rude of you!'' Said Hestia mad.

''Guts, I know you have our priorities, but we have others things to do.'' Said Serpico.

''Yes, we need to move on.'' Said Magnificio

''Oh you must be Magnificio. Guts told me that you are not the bravest.'' Said Hestia.

''Really? You had to go with that?" Asked him.

''What?" Asked Guts with a shrug.

''He is a schemer also, we might need him for negotiations.'' Said Isidro.

''Thanks for that.'' Said Magnigficio.

''You must be Roderick, Guts told me that you are super brave.'' Said Hestia.

''Yes my dear. I will be a great follower to you my goddess.''' Said him

''You are Isma right?" Asked Hestia.

''Yes, and I guess Guts told about…you know?" Asked Isma referring to her Merrow bloodline.

''I don't know what are you talking about? Guts just told me that you are new and trying to fight.'' Said Hestia.

Isma looked at Guts and by his looks it meant that he kept her origin a secret, it was the best choice at the moment.

''Oh really, well I will do my best in being part of the familia.'' Said Isma.

''Oh great and you must be Isidro. Guts told me that you are still a noisy one that is learning how to fight.'' Said Hestia.

''What! I been following Guts way before these guys started. I chased him for kilometers and after a while he took me as an apprentice. Trust me I am hardcore.'' Said Isdro.

''Ignore this idiot speech.'' Said Schierke.

Hestia just laughs at this, the group was surely full of life and care. The kind of people that she would love to call children, she could also feel in their heartbeats that they all had a dark part but they were shining with some good light. Hestia felt that the Black Swordman was the reason.

Guts then saw Casca going towards Hestia and touching her face.

''Oh hi…'' Said Hestia.

The woman kept playing with Hestia face and then grabbed her boobs.

''Huh hello!'' Said Hestia all red.

''Stop this.'' Said Farnese grabbing Casca.

''This is Casca, she is an old friend of me and Guts. She was a powerful warrior and one of the reasons we were traveling was to get her sanity back. You see…she faced some hard battles and that left her mentally scared. She is pretty much like a toddler now.'' Said Rickert.

Hestia saw the woman and she could tell she wasn't always like this. It was so sad to see someone that so many knew now being just a mindless one.

''How long has she been like this?" Asked Hestia.

''About two years.'' Said Guts all serious.

''Poor child.'' Said Hestia hugging Casca.

Casca at first felt a bit odd but then she hugged Hestia back, she didn't throw a tantrum or something she really felt like hugging back.

''She likes her.'' Said Erica all happy.

''don't worry you all. I promise to gain your friend mental state back to what originally was.'' Said her.

''Oh really? Do you know someone that can do that?" Asked Serpico.

Guts didn't want put Casca fate in some random God. He was centered in finding Schierke home so they could perform the ritual to gain her memories back, he wanst going to let someone mess with Casca mind.

''Forget it! We are letting the mages do that! I am not putting Casca in the hands of some random God!'' Scream Guts.

''Ok, so this is our last plan.'' Said Farnese.

''So Hestia-sama, you have a familia?" Asked Serpico.

''Oh sure, I am one of the gods that has made a group.'' Said her.

''I can't wait to see who lives with her.'' Said Puck

''How many people do your familia has?" Asked Ivalera.

''Well…'' Said Hestia a bit shy and Guts told on the spot.

''She only has 1 member.'' Said him.

The entire group went a bit pale in comical way. She was really someone at the bottom.

''1 member!'' Said Azan.

''She is new into this whole Familia thing. She started not even a month.'' Said Guts.

''What! You grabbed someone who doesn't what to do with her members?" Asked Serpico.

''Hey! I am the best choice you guys have. I can sense you all need help, and I am opening my arms for you all. Don't worry, I know how to deal with familias. I just need to take care of you all like a mother with her children. So don't go around calling me like if I was a loser.'' Said Hestia

'''I am sorry.'' Said Serpico

The speech of the Goddess made them be a bit more sincere. She had a point; they were trapped in this world and with no knowledge of how things worked. However, with a goddess and one that wasn't that big they could lay low and not attract that much attention, well with Guts around would be impossible, but they weren't cause much trouble.

''She is right.'' Said Schierke.

''Goddess please forgive us.'' Said Farnese bowing.

''Yes, we didn't mean to call you names or something.'' Said Puck.

''don't worry my child, I know you are all worried. Plus, with your dear Casca, I can understand the situation. I will make sure you all are in good condition and safe.'' Said her.

The tiny goddess gave them a smile and the group all felt a bit better with that.

''Yes, lets make the best and put this familia on a good spot.'' Said Rickert.

''I bet the other familias don't even know how to sail. I can lead that.'' Said Roderick.

''Let's go to my house. That's where you all are going to stay.'' Said Hestia.

''Is big?" Asked Erica.

'Oh yes, all of you will have a roof under your heads.'' Said Hestia.

''Good.'' Said Azan.

''And tomorrow we start working to make sure the city knows I have more members.'' Said Hestia.

The group went alongside following the tiny goddess, as she led them to their new home.

At the abandoned Church.

''Well were here.'' Said Hestia showing the church.

The group saw the old church, and they though it was a joke.

''Very impressive, I guess this way you can fool the enemies?" Asked Serpico.

''No, this is not a cover. The church is really old.'' Said Hestia.

The group looked at Hestia with a confused look and she gave a little laugh.

''This dump is our home?' Asked Isidro.

''Hey! We at least have a roof over our heads. Be thankful for that?" Asked Azan.

''But I don't know if it can be good for people living there.'' Said Roderick

''Its ok, tomorrow we can start fixing the place.'' Said Schierke.

''Yes, we can turn this thing and turned it onto a really nice house.'' Said Rickert.

''We can work things out and plan things accordingly.'' Said Serpico.

''A few hammers, some paint and a bit of hard work should do it.'' Said Farnese.

''It doesn't look that bad for me.' Said Erica.

''Look I am sorry; this is the only place the other gods gave to when I decided to make a familia. I want to give you all a nice place, but we are going to need to work hard to make this happen. You all understand?" Asked Hestia.

The group heard Hestia concerned voice and could tell she was honest.

''don't be stressed for little things.'' Said Guts.

''Yes, we been into worst places. We can turn this old church into a palace if we get the chance.'' Said Rickert.

''You all are the best!" Said Hestia crying and hugging Rickert.

''We do our best Hestia-sama.'' Said Rickert a bit embarrassed.

The group soon entered and saw the state of the churched. It looked like a hurricane went inside and wrecked the place.

''Oh my.'' Said Schierke.

''You didn't told us that a natural disaster happened here.'' Said Ivalera.

''Let's just take the big chucks of rotten wood out of the way first.'' Said Guts.

''Guts is right, this could infect us later. Plus, it will be better to move around.'' Said Roderick

''Let's get this done while we are awaken.'' Said Azan.

''On it!'' Said Puck

Soon the group started doing some cleaning, after a few minutes later someone entered the church. It was Hestia only other member Bell Cranel.

''Goddess, I am home sorry if I´m…late.'' Said Bell shocked.

The white haired boy saw all these people there and he didn't know what was happening.

''Bell-Kun look we got new members!'' Said Hestia all happy.

The boy didn't know how to process all that. However, he got the biggest scare when he saw Guts.

''Hi.'' Said Guts.

''AAAAAH!'' Scream Bell and he blacked out.

Pump

''I guess he didn't go with your face.' Said Puck with a smirk.

''Shut up Puck.'' Said Guts.

The group put Bell in a comfortable place, Hestia worried sick about him while the group kept working on fixing the church.

So yes, Hestia officially meet the entirety of Guts group and now they are on the way to become members of her familia. Oh boy, this will be so epic once we get into the dungeon and other Danmachi arcs. Don't worry about Casca, we will handled her in later events. Thank you all.
