Danmachi: The Magic Grandmaster

Meteria, carrying the magic stone lamp in one hand and holding Sion's hand in the other, arrived at the door they had just passed through on the inner side of the church.

After opening the door, there was a dark staircase inside.

"Is it too dark?"

The two walked in, and seeming to notice that Sion was somewhat afraid of the dark, Meteria spoke softly to him.

Walking slowly down the dark stairs, not only Sion, but also Meteria felt her heart race at the sight of their intimacy and the darkness.

The Hera Familia consisted entirely of women, while the Zeus Familia consisted entirely of men.

This husband and wife Familia was known as one of the two strongest Familias in the world.

However, Zeus and Hera had contrasting personalities, the former was a pervert and the latter was yanderer. Arguments between the couple were commonplace, so their relationship as a Familia was naturally not good on the surface.

Therefore, this was the first time Meteria had been so close to a man, let alone holding hands and walking down this dark staircase together.

"We have arrived."

Upon reaching the basement, Sion surveyed his surroundings.

The environment was alright. Although it could not compare to modern housing, for Sion right now, having a place to live was pretty good.

"Goodnight, Sion."

Meteria led him to a room. Sion could not understand what she was saying, except when she called his name.

Having roughly guessed the meaning of Meteria's words, Sion sat on the bed, and then saw Meteria smile slightly and leave the room.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings, leaving only the sound of Sion's own breathing.

"It's truly like a dream."

Sion's expression became dazed.

He was transported to another world. After being hungry for a day, he was taken in by a beautiful girl with white hair who was kind and taught him to read and write.

'Is this the legendary fateful encounter?'

Thinking about what happened today and Meteria's gentleness, Sion soon felt sleepy.

I'm really tired today, I should get some rest. I hope I will not lose my organs when I wake up.

With a wry smile in his mind, Sion quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in another basement room, Meteria covered her cheeks, which were completely flushed.

"I met a very interesting person."

The thought of a man sleeping in the next room made Meteria feel both shy and excited.

"I wonder how my sister is doing."

Meteria muttered to herself as she changed her clothes and lay down on the bed.

The Hera Familia set out yesterday to fight against the Leviathan.

While she was worried, all she could do was pray that her sister would return safely.

Unlike herself, who lacked talent, Meteria's older sister, Alfia, was talented and became a member of the Hera Familia at a young age.

'Surely she will be able to return safely?'

Thinking about this, Meteria thought of Sion again and could not help but smile softly.

Sleep well, tomorrow will be interesting too.

The next day arrived as expected. Sion also completely let down his guard against Meteria.

"I slept so well."

Perhaps because of his encounter with the beautiful girl, Sion slept well that night.

After stretching, Sion walked out of the basement.

The sun is shining brightly, it must be past nine o'clock already.

Meteria, sitting in a chair, smiled when she saw him.

"Are you hungry?"

Meteria got up and walked over, gesturing with her hands.

Sion watched quietly and quickly understood the meaning behind her gestures.

"Come on, wash up and eat."

She pointed to the wooden cup, brush, and toiletries such as towels on the side.

There was no toothpaste, but there was a powder similar.

He quickly finished washing up and had breakfast, then she took out a few more books.

"It is time to begin today's lesson."

These books are all basic texts used to introduce children to the world of literature. She said with a confident expression, "As far as teachers are concerned, I am pretty good, right?"

Looking at Meteria's adorable appearance, Sion could not help but raise his hand and gently pat her head.

Although it's a bit weird, since Meteria touched him yesterday, it is okay to touch her back now, right?

Carefully observing Meteria's expression, Sion noticed that she did not seem to mind, in fact, she blushed slightly.

Goodness, are all girls this innocent?

Sion smiled and said softly, "I am counting on you."

Although she could not understand Sion's words, his gentle tone still made Meteria feel a tingling sensation in her heart.

It seems they are the same type of people.

Meteria thought for a moment, and then began today's lesson.

Compared to yesterday, the two were now sitting much closer.

Although they have not known each other for long, they get along very well.
