[3rd Person POV]

The Miner stood in the empty church as the sun's first light peeked through one of the holes in the collapsed roof. He had been up for well over an hour, contemplating a few things. Firstly, was whether or not he should register as an adventurer. He was interested in at least seeing what was in the Dungeon and he wasn't confident about sending Bella into it alone. Especially not on her first day. On the other hand, if registering meant releasing information about his status, that would cause a serious problem.

For the past 7 years, the strongest adventurer in Orario had been 'King' Ottar of the Freya Familia. The Miner could just imagine the uproar when, out of nowhere, a Familia with no known resources, no history, and only two members, suddenly had an adventurer 2 levels higher than the best in the city. One nobody had ever even heard of. The chaos would be legendary, and neither Hestia nor Bella would be able to handle that. Not yet at least.

He would know more today, after they had spoken with the guild officials. If he had to wait to register, that would be fine. There was plenty that he could do on the surface to help prepare his new Familia for the fallout his existence would cause. The biggest being the state of their lodgings.

This church, or rather the basement, was Hestia's home and that meant it was her Familia's home. That wouldn't do. The state of the dilapidated building was pitiful. He'd wandered around the property already, trying to figure out if it could be saved. The lot had been given to Hestia by the goddess Hephaestus as both a gift and a means to stop Hestia from mooching off her. In terms of location, the church was actually in a pretty good spot.

The lot the church stood on was far larger than the church itself, which made for easy expansion. The lots surrounding it were either empty or had abandoned buildings which meant they could be bought at lower prices to expand even further. It was also fairly close to everything a Familia needed access to. The abandoned area was surrounded by on all sides by important areas. The guild building, the market square, the Dungeon, even the storehouses were nearby.

As for the church itself, it was in pretty rough shape. There were more holes in the roof than there was actual roofing and two of the walls looked like they were about to collapse. The only reason they hadn't was that there was no roof left for them to support. Still, the basement was secure, and the foundation was strong. He had money. More than he knew what to do with if he was being honest.

It made no sense to him to keep his money to himself when he could use it to better his own, and by extension Bella and Hestia's, living conditions. The Miner could even do the renovation himself using his Minecraft power but he still need to asked Hestia permission to do it.There was a space to the back of the property that looked perfect for a forge, and he had the materials to make alchemy and enchanting tables. He even has this crazy idea of turning the Dungeon into XP Farm.

He was torn from his thoughts by the creak of the basement door opening behind him. Out came a practically giddy Bella, dragging a slightly groggy looking Hestia by the wrist. The Miner chuckled at this.

Steve: *amuse* I take it you're ready to get started, then?

Bella: *excite* Of course I am, Steve-san!

Steve: *smile* Let's get going then and maybe we can grab some food on the way to the Guild.

After the Miner mention food, the stomach of the girls started growling much to they embarrassing and the Miner amusement.

Bella: *blush*

Hestia: *blush*

Steve: *chuckle*
