The shocked Hephaestus fell silent, and the room became silent again.
Yami didn't bother, he probably knew what his goddess had seen, so it would be better to give her enough time to digest it.
As for him, it would be better to honestly play dead.
"Yami, I have locked your status. Unless there is an unlocking potion, no one can see it. Regarding your ability and magic, you must never tell others, including familia members, including Tsubaki. Do you understand?"
Hephaestus returned to her senses and gave instructions while copying Yami's status on paper.
This was not the first time she had said such words!
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the potential of Yami. Among Orario, many people could read the gods' language. Just in case, it was better to lock it up.
It would be very troublesome if other familia members knew about it.
"I understand, Hephaestus-sama. I'm not that stupid. I won't expose my situation."
After answering solemnly, feeling Hephaestus's soft palm gently patting his back, Yami got up slowly and took the paper on which his status was printed.
The above content was even more exaggerated than he had imagined, and the increase in basic status was especially exaggerated.
Originally, he thought it would be almost a hundred points, but he didn't expect that two of his stats would nearly reach 500!
But this was undoubtedly good news.
The rapid increase in the basic stats proved the correctness of Yami's idea, and it seemed that the concentration of monsters could help increase his stats faster.
"Thank you for updating the status for me, Hephaestus-sama."
After briefly understanding his basic situation, Yami expressed his heartfelt thanks to Hephaestus.
"You don't need to thank me for this kind of thing. It seems that our relationship is very distant. Yami, you must remember that you are the child I have approved of. We shouldn't be too estranged."
"Although I know you like Hestia, and I hope you can win her favor, but if you are too serious towards me, I will also be jealous."
Yami: "…"
There was no way to answer this!
He couldn't say that he not only wanted Hestia, he also wanted her!
He wanted both of them!
If he dared to say such words, he was afraid that his own goddess would smash his head off on the spot, and maybe he would be kicked out of the familia.
It would be better not to say that kind of thought.
"Huh?" Hephaestus sensed something and looked at Yami with burning eyes, "You seem to be thinking about something bad."
"No no no. I will remember what you said and correct it in the future."
Yami responded urgently.
Obviously, she already knew that Yami was lying, but Hephaestus did not expose it. Although she couldn't know what Yami was thinking, she could still guess the general range.
The red-haired goddess didn't feel offended. It was normal to be admired by her own children.
Even Hephaestus really hoped that Yami could shift the focus of his admiration from Hestia to herself.
"It's getting late, Yami. You should go to bed," Hephaestus stood up slowly and walked to the door.
Yami also got up quickly to see her off. When she arrived at the door, the red-haired goddess stopped suddenly. She turned slightly, with a touch of teasing in her eyes.
"In addition, regarding your magic, I don't want you to abuse your magic and do anything wrong. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing this, Yami's body froze suddenly, and a look of shame and indignation appeared on his face.
How could he do such a thing!
Even if Yami wanted to hug girls left and right, it was not this way. There was a big difference between being romantic and being obscene.
"Hephaestus-sama!!!"
Seeing that Yami was embarrassed, Hephaestus chuckled lightly and didn't give him time to get angry as she turned and left the room, leaving only a burst of fragrant wind in place.
Yami, who had nowhere to vent, could only sigh and step forward to close the broken door.
He didn't expect that even Hephaestus would begin to learn bad things and was keen to play tricks on people.
In other words, maybe this was the true appearance of the Forging Goddess.
"Hephaestus-sama also has such a side to her. It seems I should be mentally prepared in advance so as not to make a fool of myself during the conversation."
Yami, lying on the bed, kept echoing the words of Hephaestus just now in his mind, and the thoughts in his mind also fluctuated slightly.
In the quiet environment, his breathing gradually became steady.
