Surprise! I've Transmigrated Again-Chapter 220 - ⤞ Wish_One
"Adam... Adam..." Hestia repeated his name thoughtfully, then gave a thumbs up. "It's a good name! But not quite as good as Bell's."
"...Thank you for the compliment." Adam replied dryly, thinking to himself, 'A goddess in love really must compare everything.'
Then, he addressed Hestia.
"Lady Hestia, please grant me your Falna now."
When an Adventurer receives a God's Falna, they unlock their Status. The Skills and Magic sections are the most intriguing parts.
He was no different — he wondered what his〚World Traveling〛and〚Analyze and Copy〛would become. He was also curious whether he would develop any Development Abilities, which most Adventurers lacked.
"No, not today."
Hestia's refusal caught him off guard.

"Why not, Lady Hestia?" Adam asked, "Granting a Falna isn't difficult — why wait?"
"Because I want you to have a sense of ceremony!" Hestia said warmly, "Since coming to the lower world, I've made it a rule that everyone joining my Familia must do so formally. That ceremony helps you truly see other Familia members as family."
"...I see." Adam paused.
While cynics might view this as an attempt to buy loyalty, he knew better — Hestia genuinely wanted to give her Familia members the warmth of family.
What a truly kind approach.
"Aren't you worried I might choose another Familia?"
"Not at all!" She shook her head, "You trusted me and chose my Familia, so I'll trust you and believe you won't change your mind."
"...I see." He fell silent again.
"Besides..." Hestia stretched out both hands, palms up as if to catch something, "Even if I wanted to grant you my Falna now, the Heavens won't let me be so casual about it."
Pitter-Patter—
Rain began to fall. Droplets landed on her fair, delicate palms, scattering onto her arms, sleeves, and the ground.
"Ah, what a shame. It seems I won't receive your Falna tonight." Adam felt cool raindrops on his face, "Lady Hestia, let me escort you back in this rain."
"No, no need!" Hestia said firmly, "This rain's only going to get heavier — you should hurry home."
She would have liked to invite him back to her church, if only it weren't so small.
But with Bell returning at night and only one bed between them, she had to dismiss the thought.
"But..."
"When I say no need, I mean no need. I'm your Goddess, aren't I? Listen to me!"
Though Hestia's tone was forceful, she spoke purely out of concern for her Familia member.
"But as your Familia member, I should at least..."
"No! If you're my Familia member, that means you should listen to me even more!"
"...Alright, if you insist."
"Good! Though not quite as good as Bell."
Damn it! Must everything be compared to Bell?
As Adam's thoughts whirled, Hestia waved goodbye and darted off.
After a few steps, she spun around and called out, "Tomorrow! Wait for me here tomorrow morning — don't forget!"
"Yes, Lady Hestia, I'll meet you here!" Adam shouted back before turning to leave.
The rain was growing heavier; there was no time for idle chat.

Back at the inn, Adam hung his cloak by the fireplace to dry. He made a mental note to enchant it when possible, adding a water-repelling spell.
