Chapter 20: Chapter 0020: "Did You Fall In Love With Her?"
"Hestia, how long are you going to be lazy?!!!"
A deafening roar came from the room, and Yami's hand froze mid-air.
Hestia?
If he heard correctly, it seemed to be the voice of Hephaestus just now, so the Hestia in the other party's mouth should be the goddess Lolita in his memories, right?
Is the other party still living in the familia of Hephaestus and hadn't been kicked out by Goddess Hephaestus?
Orario's current timing was really elusive!
However, Yami was not as excited as he imagined that his favorite female god lived in the familia of Hephaestus.
Although he really liked Hestia, he couldn't do much at the moment.
Maybe he would be qualified to pursue the goddess Hestia when he became stronger. If he didn't have enough characteristics, he probably wouldn't be able to win the goddess's favor, let alone a pure virgin like Hestia.
As for now, it was better not to have too many other thoughts.
/Knock/ /knock/
After taking a deep breath, Yami gently knocked on the door.
The roar inside also stopped abruptly, and after about a moment of silence, the voice of Hephaestus sounded again: "The door is unlocked. Come in."
Hearing this, Yami reached out and turned the handle, opened the door, and walked in.
Same as the last time he came here, Goddess Hephaestus sat behind the desk with a dark face, and it was obvious that she was not in a good mood.
As for the couch beside her, a petite figure in a long white dress was sitting there.
The holy aura similar to Hephaestus, a childlike face, and the long twin tails behind the head, all the elements that could attract the attention of men, were gathered together.
It had to be said that female gods were always so beautiful that it was even hard for humans to resist.
"Hephaestus-sama, I'm here to update my status. I don't know if it's convenient."
Trying to look away from Hestia, Yami looked at Hephaestus with a respectful face and explained his purpose of coming.
"Of course, there is no problem. In addition, let me introduce you first. My friend, Hestia, is currently living with our familia. Hestia, this is a newcomer who just joined the familia today."
"Huh?! Hephaestus, have you found a new child again? It's so enviable!"
The Goddess Lolita on the side was extremely excited when she heard this, and she looked at Yami with envy and longing. She had not established a familia at all as of now!
After all, probably no one wanted to join a newly formed familia.
"I've said it already, you should go out more every day, maybe you can find the child you like, and build your own familia. It's not good to stay with me daily and be a rice bug!"
Hephaestus thought these words could arouse Hestia's fighting spirit, but unfortunately, she still underestimated the laziness of her god friend.
"No, that would be too troublesome. How about this, Hephaestus? Why don't you give me this child so I can establish a familia?"
"That won't work. Find one yourself!"
The serious words were merciless, and it was rare to see Hephaestus showing such an angry expression.
Seeing this, Hestia, thinking of taking a shortcut before, naturally didn't dare to continue speaking, but she also turned her head, puffed her cheeks, and kept muttering words like "Hephaestus is too stingy."
This kind of quarrel, like a child, also made Yami a little bit dumbfounded.
"Forget it, Yami. Come and lie down. I'll update your status."
"Yes, Hephaestus-sama."
Finally thinking of himself, Yami nodded quickly and was about to take off his clothes, but Hephaestus held his hands down and looked at Hestia beside him.
"Hestia, I'm going to update his status."
"Hmph, I see. What is there to show off? Sooner or later, I will be able to find the child I like, train him to be the most powerful adventurer, and then become the most powerful familia member in Orario."
After saying this sentence, Hestia immediately stood up and left the room.
However, the direction she left was not outside the blacksmith shop but towards the backyard.
Apparently, the words just now we're just for a moment. Hestia would probably never work hard until she was kicked out of the residence of Hephaestus's familia.
Yami withdrew his eyes thoughtfully but directly met Hephaestus's meaningful eyes.
He didn't know why, but in front of this look, Yami always felt that he was completely seen through.
"Cough, Hephaestus-sama, please help me update my status."
"Take off your shirt and lie down."
Taking off his shirt and lying on the bed, Hephaestus sat on the edge of the bed, took out the tools, and prepared to update Yami's status.
While performing actions, the other side did not forget to start a small chat: "Yami, I saw you caring about Hestia just now. Do you like her?"
"of course not..."
Yami was taken aback by the question that appeared in his ears. As he subconsciously refuted, he suddenly thought that gods could see through lies, and his voice stopped abruptly.
After a while, Yami could only bite the bullet and nod, "Actually, I can't say I like her. It's just that goddess Hestia made me very excited, so I... I'm sorry, Hephaestus-sama."
"No, there's nothing to apologize for, Yami."
Hephaestus's eyes were extremely gentle, and she didn't mean to blame him.
