Hestia walked alone through the bustling shopping street, glancing back and forth at the dazzling array of clothing in the surrounding shops.
"If I had known, I would have brought Link with me. There are so many clothes; how do I choose..."
Hestia looked at the garments around her and found it difficult to decide.
As a goddess, her appearance is perfect and will not age.
Due to her personality, Hestia does not dress up very often.
For example, in her closet, there are only three or four outfits that she usually wears.
Of course, the lack of money is still the most important factor, but now Hestia no longer spends money randomly.
Although Link gives her a large amount of living expenses every day, Hestia saves all the remaining money, reserving it for three meals a day and normal living expenses.
She had experienced a life of poverty in the past, but now she knows how to be diligent and thrifty in managing a household. This time, she took out the money to buy new clothes for tomorrow's "date," but she found herself in a dilemma due to the wide variety of clothing before her.
The garments on the hangers in front are divided into vests, tank tops, and bras worn underneath. The T-shirts in the back are sorted into sleeveless, short-sleeved, mid-sleeved, and long-sleeved categories; for skirts, there are petticoats, short skirts, midi skirts, long skirts, dresses, and strap skirts...
"Well..."
Hestia felt dizzy and couldn't put together an outfit that suited her.
"Ara ara? Isn't that Hestia? Long time no see."
At that moment, a mature and graceful goddess approached with a basket of wheat bread and spoke. Hestia looked back when she heard the voice.
"Ah, long time no see, Demeter! Why are you here?"
"I passed by the entrance of the store and saw you choosing clothes, so I came in to say hello. After all, we haven't seen each other in a long time."
"Yes, it's been a while..." Hestia pouted, thinking that it seemed like half a year had passed since she last met Demeter.
Hestia had a good impression of this gentle and mature Mother Earth Goddess in charge of agriculture, grains, and motherly love.
After considering the difficulty in choosing that she was currently facing, Hestia immediately decided.
"Demit, you're just in time! Please help me!"
Hestia showed a cute pleading expression, her large eyes shining.
"What's wrong, Hestia?"
"I can't choose these clothes; please help me, please Demeter!"
"Ah? If it's everyday clothes, they should be loose and comfortable. Or, Hestia, are you going to use them for a certain... well, a certain child?"
Considering that Hestia, as a virgin goddess, has been in heaven for hundreds of millions of years and hasn't been pursued by any male gods, Demeter quickly realized that Hestia was planning to buy new clothes for a certain male child in the lower world.
Actually...
"Tomorrow, I'm going shopping and eating with the family's new child, so I want to dress better... Demeter, please help me make some suggestions!"
"Ara ara, is this a date?"
"Hmm!" After being hit with the keyword, the innocent Hestia immediately blushed and quickly denied, "No, no! It's just shopping and eating!"
"Okay, I believe you!"
Although she said this, Demeter covered her mouth and giggled.
Anyone can tell if Hestia has a date just by looking at her. Whoever the child is, he can make the iron tree of Hestia, a virgin goddess, bloom and make her want to go on a date.
'It's really interesting. Maybe I should go see him then?'
With this thought in mind, she moved her hands and chose a white, backless, low-cut pleated dress.
"Hestia, how about this one? If paired with black stockings and high heels, it will definitely be a killer for today's young boys!"
...
After trying them on, the two finally decided on the clothing combination. The back and forth of trying on and changing clothes also made the two beautiful goddesses sweat a little, so they got along well and prepared to go to the Temple Bath to bathe together.
In the mist.
Demeter and Hestia covered their plump bodies with thick bath towels, soaking the parts below their shoulders in hot water while humming a light song.
This is a place dedicated to the bathing of the gods and goddesses.
There are not only huge baths here but also bathtubs of various sizes. The decoration is exquisite, using rare natural rocks and large green trees.
The security here is naturally the strongest. Don't even think about a mouse or a fly coming in, completely avoiding any "peeping" situations.
Here, goddesses can show off their dazzling and perfect figures without any defense, or even walk naked in the mist. It is simply a dream paradise for men. "
"Huh? Hestia, is your chest getting bigger again?"
Demeter sat very close to Hestia, reached out her hands to grab Hestia's pair of plump fruits, and kneaded them.
"Oh! Isn't yours big too? Look, the big papaya is floating on the water."
"Haha…"
As a goddess in charge of agriculture and harvest, the fruits on Demeter's chest are naturally different from those of ordinary people.
Also, Demeter herself is a mature woman, not a loli like Hestia, so her breasts are much larger than Hestia's. It's not an exaggeration to say that they resemble papayas; even a smaller watermelon would suffice.
Hestia put away her extended claws and told herself that the fruit on her chest was a papaya. Demeter wasn't angry but looked at Hestia with a smile.
"Hestia, tell me about your child. I just found out that you have your own dependent child and are no longer reliant on Hephaestus."
"Humph, I won't tell you!" Hestia pouted, keeping it strictly a secret.
She didn't want these goddesses to know Link's information, not even the mature and intellectual Demeter.
Seeing Hestia's cute look, Demeter smoothed her long orange hair and said with a smile, "I never expected that Hestia, who has rejected the pursuit of all male gods for hundreds of millions of years, would now go out of her way to… How about buying new clothes for a date?"
"What date? I don't—" Hestia was about to retort, but before she could finish her words, the other goddesses in the bathhouse, like bees smelling the scent of honey, swarmed around her.
"Hey! Hestia bought new clothes just for a date?!"
"Really? The spinster's iron tree has blossomed?"
"Hey, hey, hey! What spinster?!"
"Hey! Everyone listen to me! Hestia actually has a date tomorrow!"
"What a brave kid! He actually defeated an inexperienced girl like Hestia."
"Is he the one called Link? The guild released relevant information last time, and he's a super rookie who other adventurers call the 'fastest'!"
"Link? I've seen that guy before. He's so handsome! No wonder Hestia agreed to go on a date!"
Hestia's weak resistance to the word "spinster" was finally completely drowned out by the discussion of the goddesses.
