Hunted by Characters I Drew!!

Hestia happily ran to the door, eager to see the figure she had been longing for. However, much to her disappointment, the one who appeared wasn't Alexander but Artemis, who had just arrived with her Familia. 

Seeing it wasn't Alexander, Hestia's face fell immediately. 

Noticing this, Artemis couldn't help but look a little offended. 

"Hestia, could you be a little less obvious? Are you really that disappointed to see me? You never used to act like this!" 

Artemis spoke with a hint of resentment. Hestia, realizing her reaction, offered an awkward smile. 

"Ahaha, well... I didn't mean it that way…" 

Her guilty expression made Artemis sigh helplessly. 

"Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore. But where is Alexander? Where did he go?" 

Hearing Artemis mention Alexander, Hestia looked even more forlorn. She hugged Artemis tightly, burying her face into her friend's bosom, and complained: 

"Alexander… he… he…" 

"What happened to him? Did something go wrong?" Artemis asked, her voice suddenly laced with concern. Hestia's despondent demeanor made her wonder if something serious had happened. 

Hestia sniffled dramatically before blurting out, "He went to help Loki's Familia in the dungeon!" 

Artemis: "..." 

For a moment, Artemis was speechless. She had expected something serious, but instead, it was just Alexander lending a hand. She couldn't help but sigh. 

"Alright, alright, calm down. He just went to help; it's not the end of the world. Honestly, I thought he'd abandoned you or something…" Artemis said as she sat down next to Hestia. 

But just as she settled in, a figure burst into the room. 

"Hestia! Is it true?! Did you really join Alexander's Familia?! Are you kidding me?!" 

It was Loki, looking utterly flustered. She had just heard the shocking news that Hestia was now part of Alexander's Familia and had rushed over immediately. 

The idea of a god joining a human's Familia seemed utterly absurd. 

Hestia, now visibly embarrassed, froze under Loki's intense gaze. She avoided eye contact and nodded awkwardly, confirming the truth. 

Loki, meanwhile, looked like she'd been struck by lightning. 

"This… this is real? Then who exactly is Alexander?" 

Hestia paused for a moment before replying, her voice thoughtful. 

"Alexander… He might be the legendary Creator." 

"The Creator?!" 

Loki was dumbfounded. "What does that even mean?!" 

Seeing Loki's confusion, Hestia began to explain. 

As Hestia spoke, Loki's disbelief only grew. If she didn't know Hestia so well, she might have thought the goddess in front of her had been replaced. The idea that Alexander could be the Creator of their world, their gods, and everything else was too much to comprehend. 

"This has to be a joke," Loki muttered. 

At that moment, Artemis stood up, her expression calm. 

"Loki, I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I've come back to officially join Alexander's Familia. You'll see the truth for yourself soon enough." 

"Wait… you're joining his Familia too, Artemis?!" Hestia exclaimed, her face lighting up with excitement. 

Artemis nodded with a smile. Ever since Alexander had saved her, she had decided to join his Familia. She didn't care about the opinions of other gods; what mattered was her own resolve. 

Hestia, overjoyed, hugged Artemis tightly. 

"You're the best, Artemis! With you joining, I won't feel so embarrassed anymore." 

Artemis chuckled softly, but Loki was left utterly stunned. 

"What?! Are you two out of your minds? Gods willingly joining a human Familia?! Have you both gone crazy?!" 

Just as Loki was trying to process the situation, the door opened quietly. 

Alexander walked in, carrying a bag filled with food. He froze when he saw the three goddesses in front of him, each with dramatically different expressions. Loki looked as if her entire worldview had been shattered, Hestia was glowing with happiness, and Artemis was smiling serenely. 

"Huh? Loki? Artemis? Hestia? What are you all doing here?" Alexander asked, puzzled.
