In Hephaestus's room, the atmosphere became extremely dull.
The red-haired goddess, who is usually very gentle, looked at the people in front of her with burning eyes, especially when it stayed on Yami for an extra long time, and she didn't know what to say anymore.
After a while, she seemed to barely regain her senses.
"Yami, are you sure you're not joking? Are they really humans from other worlds?"
Although she was still asking questions, in fact, Hephaestus had already believed Yami's words, and she didn't feel that the other party was lying, which already explained the answer.
But even so, Hephaestus still asked again, which was obviously unbelievable.
However, Yami's serious nodding appearance shattered all the last doubt in her heart.
"Goddess-sama, Mr. Ubayashiki and the others are indeed people from another world. I also entered that world tonight. I have gone through untold hardships before successfully returning, and then I have the qualifications to enter and exit another world. I know the family needs talents, so I brought them back."
Avoiding the most important thing and saying what can be said, Yami didn't lie at all.
Therefore, Hephaestus didn't feel the slightest difference, her expression was a little dull, her right hand covered her slightly opened lips, her mood was very complicated.
This is simply extraordinary!!!
Only now did she realize that she had underestimated the potential of the child in front of her. Even the gods in the heavens couldn't do it, but as a human being, he could easily accomplish it!
Is the potential of the people of the lower world really so terrifying?
Even the gods can't compare with it. This kind of gap and expectation is really too much to stop!
"Really, Yami, you always bring me all kinds of surprises and frights!" Hephaestus, who barely recovered her strength, sounded reproachful, but the expression on her face did not mean to blame.
"Sorry, Hephaestus-sama, I made my own decisions."
"No, that's not the reason. In fact, I was quite excited when I heard the news. After all, this is something that even us gods can't do, but you can do it. Sure enough, Yami, you will definitely be able to do it in the future. Become the best hero, even surpassing all previous heroes!"
Words of incomparable certainty were uttered from the mouth of Hephaestus.
This time, Yami did not refute.
"Since they are children from other worlds, and they were brought back by you, Yami, they must be some excellent children. You are welcome to join tHephaestus familia."
The red-haired goddess showed a gentle and friendly smile to Kagaya and the others.
"Thank you Goddess-sama. It is our honor to be able to join you!" A group of people responded in a panic, and their voices were obviously very respectful.
However, everyone was obviously very excited to have the permission of Hephaestus.
Taking a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, Hephaestus also nodded slightly.
Although she doesn't have the eyes of God like Freya, but as a goddess, she still has a basic vision of seeing people, and she can feel that these children in front of her are very pure and good people.
There are a few of them with good strength, and they are indeed some high-quality talents, so it is not a bad idea to recruit them into her familia.
"However, Yami, there is one thing I need to remind you. Regarding your ability to travel to other worlds, you must never use it in front of people you don't trust. Do you understand what I mean?"
When she said this, the expression on the face of Hephaestus was very serious.
The main thing is to travel to other worlds, which has a very terrifying temptation for the gods who are too idle to fade out. It is difficult to predict what they will do in order to travel to other worlds.
Maybe, the god who coveted Yami's existence might become unscrupulous.
It's going to be a hassle!
"Well, forget it, if it really comes at that time, I'll think about a solution." Hephaestus shook her head, her expression became serious again, "Then, everyone takes off your clothes one by one, and sits down on the chair, who will come first?"
Everyone looked at each other, and pushed Ubuyashiki Kagaya out in a tacit understanding.
In this regard, Kagaya did not refuse.
But before he took off his coat, an accident happened suddenly.
"Wait for me!"
The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a petite figure suddenly rushed in. Because the force used was too great, the car couldn't stop for a while, and fell to the ground directly, and the whole person slid face-to-face. It took a long distance to stop.
The figure slid almost all the way to Yami's feet.
Looking at the familiar costume and twin ponytails, he quickly recognized the other party's identity, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching crazily at the actions of the goddess.
"Hestia, you weren't eavesdropping outside just now, were you?"
Looking at the figure on the ground, Hephaestus's movements froze immediately, and she stared at this unreliable god friend in front of her with a dark face. Apart from helplessness, there was also deep annoyance on her face.
She really indulged this girl too much, so she dared to do such things as eavesdropping.
It's fine in normal times, but today such an important matter was heard by Hestia. This girl is famous for her big mouth. If Yami's secret is leaked out,
At that time, not only the latter will be coveted, but even tHephaestus familia will be affected.
Even though they are now one of the top artisan familia, if they are targeted by all the families of Orario, they will collapse quite quickly.
So, now she needs to think about how to solve this matter.
"Hey, Hephaestus, I really didn't mean it, it's just that I accidentally saw your child Yami coming to you with so many people, I thought it was a new child, so I was a little anxious, who I know you guys would talk about such an important thing."
"But don't worry, I haven't heard anything, and I won't tell the story even if I hear it!"
Hestia hurriedly raised her right hand to swear, but her eyes scanned Yami's body intentionally or unintentionally. This kind of small action that she thought was very concealed fell into the eyes of everyone.
This undoubtedly made Her Hephaestus even more angry!
The red-haired goddess strode forward, pinched Hestia's cheeks with both hands, and lifted her directly from the ground.
As a goddess of forging, although her divine power is sealed, but because she has been forging for a long time, her power is also very huge, which is not comparable to that of Hestia.
The latter couldn't break free at all, and could only mutter and beg for mercy.
It's a pity that even her mouth was squeezed together, and no one could hear what she was saying clearly.
"Hehe, since you have heard such an important matter, even if you are my close God friend, there is nothing I can do about it. I can only send you back to heaven so that no one will leak this news. I am really sorry, Hestia, I am also forced to do it."
"If you want to blame it, blame yourself for hearing something you shouldn't hear."
Hephaestus let out a sinister laugh, and her words were so realistic that Hestia believed the statement immediately, and the loli goddess immediately began to struggle crazily.
However, no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.
She could only watch Hephaestus getting closer and closer, and Hestia almost cried out of fright.
"Boom!!" Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Hestia fell to the ground, using both hands and feet, tumbling and crawling to hide behind Yami, looking at Hephaestus in panic.
Feeling the slightly trembling body on his arm and the soft touch from time to time, Yami suddenly sighed helplessly.
"Hephaestus-sama, please don't scare Hestia-sama."
"Hmph," it was obviously a very normal dissuasion, but Hephaestus glared at him, "Really, for Yami's sake, I will forgive you for the time being, but Hestia, you will definitely not spread this matter. If you don't do it, then the relationship between us will cease to exist."
Serious expression, deep eyes, indifferent tone.
Everything is being told, and Hephaestus is not kidding.
Hestia, who had never seen this scene before, obviously realized the seriousness of the matter, lowered her head like a child who did something wrong, and muttered softly: "I know, it's my fault, don't worry, Hephaestus, I will not leak the matter of Yami.
"Then I'll trust you for now. So, what do you want to do by rushing all of a sudden?"
"Ah, it's all because you scared me, Hephaestus, and made me forget the business!"
It was obvious that the limelight had just passed, and Hestia regained that carefree personality again, but after receiving Hephaestus's stare like a steel needle, she became honest for an instant.
Goddess Loli began to answer questions honestly.
"T-that, Hephaestus, your family is already so powerful, it is already one of the best artisan families in Orario, and you don't need so many newcomers, right? You see, I don't even have a family now. Let these children join my family!"
"Don't worry, I will treat them well and manage the family seriously!"
As if afraid that Hephaestus would not believe it, Hestia quickly patted her chest, causing the ground to shake, but her voice was also full of confidence.
But as soon as these words came out, Hephaestus's face turned dark again.
Sure enough, I shouldn't forgive this girl, she is really shameless!
She regards Hestia as a close friend of God, but this girl actually regards herself as a vengeful seed, directly poaching children in front of her?
This kind of behavior will make the two gods become sworn enemies!
"You're really brave, Hestia."
"Don't say such horrible words in such a serious manner, Hephaestus, you also know that I have just descended to the realm not long ago, and the current Hestia family is saturated. Which adventurer is willing to join the family of gods like me? Ah, I also want to be self-reliant, but I can't do it!"
As soon as this boring topic was mentioned, Hestia's emotions suddenly became out of control.
The god who is obviously very holy is rolling back and forth on the ground like a rascal at this moment, complaining aggrievedly about what happened to her before, it really hurts the listener and sheds tears when they hear it.
Hestia did find adventurers at the beginning and asked them if they wanted to join her family.
But there is no doubt that after knowing that it is a new familia, they all rejected her without hesitation.
The dungeon is very dangerous. The main god doesn't have very good abilities, and there is no strong senior adventurer to lead him. So the probability of newcomer adventurers dying is as high as 80%.
And those senior adventurers are not willing to serve as tool people, so they have lived here until now.
Come to think of it, Hestia, as the goddess of the stove and home, cannot teach her family
Cook, there is absolutely no way to help in this regard!
"Sigh."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya and the others, who saw this scene for the first time, looked at each other in embarrassment, with very strange expressions.
It always feels completely different from the image of the gods they imagined!
Obviously, the appearance looks extremely holy, beautiful, natural, and majestic, and the intimacy like the incarnation of nature rushes to their face, which makes people yearn for it.
But it is such an existence, rolling on the ground at this moment, that image is instantly broken, okay?
"You rascal, get up from the ground quickly, how long are you going to shame yourself in front of these children!"
Looking at Hestia's actions, Hephaestus caressed her forehead with a helpless expression on her face, she just couldn't handle this girl!
"Hephaestus, just promise me."
"We are best God friends, aren't we? If you need help with anything in the future, I will definitely help you."
"Ugh!"
Having said all this, Hephaestus could only sigh helplessly.
No way, who made this girl in front of her, her best friend, not to mention, Hestia was the only one who saw her under the blindfold and didn't laugh at her.
If Hestia can be matured through the establishment of the family, it seems that it is not impossible.
"If you mess around like this again, then I will really refuse!"
"Nani!?"
Hestia, who heard this sentence, catapulted and started, and rushed to Hephaestus in an instant, her face was full of longing, "Hephaestus, did you really agree?!"
"Yes, who made you so rambunctious."
"Great, Hephaestus, you are my best friend, you really are the best!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Hestia jumped up and hugged Hephaestus in her arms, her cheeks rubbing against the latter's cheeks, and her joy was almost uncontrollable.
This kind of intimacy made Hephaestus quite helpless, but it was not particularly contradictory.
After hugging for a while, Hestia completely calmed down.
The eyes of this loli goddess are like little stars, looking at all the people brought by Yami, and seems to be choosing the right family members.
Is she finally going to have kids of her own?
"Let's say it first, Hestia, if these children don't want to join your family, then don't blame me. It should be fine, right?"
"I know, I'm not a god who likes to force others."
For Hephaestus's reminder, Hestia, who has fallen into endless fantasies about the future, obviously couldn't listen to these things.
The gesture of picking the best is not even the slightest cover-up.
Sensing the helpless look in Hephaestus's eyes, Yami could only quickly comfort her: "Hephaestus-sama, there is no need to show such an expression, in fact, we Hephaestus and Hestia familia can also form alliances, which is also a good thing for future development. "
"And Hephaestus-sama, you don't have many friends, and the one with the closest relationship is Hestia-sama. Hestia-sama has a pure personality, and the followers she recruits are definitely good people. Isn't it the best ally choice?"
"If it's even possible, you can also bring in the Miach family. By then, it won't be as weak as it is now, what do you think?"
"Hehe, you really are turning your elbows outward!"
Hephaestus, who was already a little depressed, became even more depressed after hearing this sentence, and rolled her eyes at Yami angrily, what a heartless little white-eyed wolf.
However, if she thinks about it carefully, what the other party said is not unreasonable.
There is a monster like Yami in her familia, and she really needs to find some allies, otherwise the secret will be exposed at that time.
It might be a good decision to hand over some of these outstanding children to Hestia, provided they are willing.
Thinking of this, Hephaestus gradually thought about it.
