Danmachi- Merchant of Orario

After the kid had left Domnus looked up at the small clock at the top of a pole and noticed that it was time for him to head back to what he would call his home.

Packing up his stuff as fast as always, Domnus headed back to the church for a good night's sleep. Not aware of what would happen the next day.

————————————————————

After a good nights rest, Domnus got up from his chair wondering if he should add something to it, maybe a place to put his legs that isn't a table, heck maybe add an extra pillow.

Before Domnus could get too crazy with the ideas for new additions to his chair. Domnus noticed both Bell and Hestia sitting on the couch next to him.

Now, with Bell usually in the dungeon and Hestia usually asleep at this time Domnus was rather confused.

"What's the gathering for?" Domnus asked stretching his arms out, still waking up.

"Hestia found something while working," Bell said.

Hestia then put down a poster with the words, "THIS CITY HAS A MURDER WHO RUNS FREE!" on the bottom of the poster.

In the middle of the poster was a very crude drawing of Domnus, but it was just good enough that if you knew what Domnus looked like you could tell that it was him.

His full name at the top of the poster also helped.

"Ah, I believe I know who did made that," Domnus replied.

"So can you explain?" Hestia asked.

"The person who made that thought I killed someone that I didn't kill," Domnus explained, "Simple as that."

"Well, I guess that's the truth," Hestia replied with a sigh, "Honestly I just hope no one goes after Bell for being near you," Hestia remarks.

"Your sympathy is greatly appreciated," Domnus replied.

"I'm sure Goddess Hestia is worried about you too," Bell said with a smile.

"Though I did have one more question for you," Hestia said focusing back the conversation, "Have you killed someone before?" she then asked, "Because I'm not letting a murderer sleep near my familia members," she then explained.

"While I have killed before," Domnus admitted, "They were mostly people who also wanted me gone so it was in self-defense," Domnus added waving his hand.

"Ok, then" Hestia replied, "Have a good day at the dungeon Bell!" she said waving to Bell.

"Oh, your right!" Bell exclaimed, "See you Goddess! See you Domnus!" Bell said before rushing out the door.

This left Domnus and Hestia all alone in the basement of the church.

"Mostly?" Hestia asked.

"Mostly," Domnus replied with a heavy sigh while picking up his bag, "I wasn't always the smart man I am today," Domnus said.

"Will you hurt Bell?" Hestia plainly asked.

"No," Domnus responded, "Well, unless he really goes insane on power, or something like that," Domnus explained following behind Bell, But we both know he would never."

————————————————————

Within a few seconds of Domnus arriving at his usual spot he was already set up and ready for customers.

Strangely, there seemed to be an odd excitement that was permeating the crowd of adventurers that were entering the dungeon.

More conversations than normal, more people pointing to the dungeon, and what looks like professionals near the dungeon looking to sell things the same way Domnus was.

Curious, Domnus lent his ear to the crowd attempting to hear what people were saying.

"Do you think they'll make it too floor fifty-nine this time?" one adventurer asked.

"Maybe, but they've tried to do that expedition a few times now haven't they?" the adventurer next to him responded.

"Yeah, but I think they could really make it this time," the adventurer said back.

"Three hundred valis that they don't," the adventurer next to him bet.

"Deal," the adventurer responded, "The Loki Familia's going to make me money without me even being in it," the adventurer mumbled.

Knowing that an expedition ment that most of the Loki familia coming to this area at once, Domnus realized that this could be very good for business.

And all the merchants and traders that set up around him were all thinking the same thing.

Not knowing when the Loki familia was going to show up, Domnus began to prepare for a bunch of people.

Domnus began to search his bag for any good items, he thought it would be a good idea to sell mana regeneration bands and bands of regeneration.

After all the regeneration could save the adventurers life when death could come at any angle.

Now, the person trying to stab Domnus with a knife, causing him to dodge out of the way, might have disagreed on that, but Domnus still thought it was a wonderful idea.

With a grab and a slam on his table the aggressor was disgruntled enough to drop his knife.

"What are you doing?" Domnus asked the aggressor while holding them by the scruff of their neck.

"I am the knight of the Goddess Freya!" she yelled, "I will fight for the honor of my beautiful Goddess!" she continued to yell.

"Are you a part of the Freya familia?" Domnus then asked her.

"...No" the aggressor admitted, "But I will protect her from the people who do her harm!" she yelled.

"How am I one of those people?" Domnus asked.

"I saw you having a conversation with her!" she yelled, "And for that you will die!" she continued.

Domnus was about to get up and bring this person to the guild before realizing that if he did, he could miss the Loki familia coming into the dungeon.

He refused to miss such an incredible event because one person decided to ruin his day.

"Now because I am such a generous person, I am going to let you go," Domnus explained while dropping the aggressor, "So go home, or go to the dungeon," Domnus said.

The aggressor said nothing. She then grabbed her knife off the table and ran away, blending into the crowd of people as she left.

After that whole thing Domnus turned around to grab an example product of the two bands to show off to the Loki familia, before needing to spin around and grab the face of the same woman who just tried to stab him.

Domnus then did the same thing, slamming her head into his desk causing the aggressor to drop her knife again. Then, he picked her head back up and slammed it into the table again, and again, and again.

After a full minute of just slamming the aggressor's head into the table Domnus let go of her face. Just for her to fall onto the ground unconscious.

Domnus the proceeded to get up, grab her by the ankles, and drag her next to his stand. He planned to keep a close eye on her so if she got up, he could just knock her out again.

Of course he would be bringing her too the guild, after the Loki familia had gone through that is.

He was not going to miss such a chance after all. Even if it meant he had to keep an extra eye on this person.
