Wait, wasn't that Salamander Wool?

Getting a jacket made of that would be super expensive, way beyond her budget!

'Ack!' Hestia froze mid-skip, the feeling of failure welling up in her. She was such a useless goddess, she couldn't even provide him stylish and expensive things, he had to get them himself!

She almost sniffled, maybe would have if Caelan's head didn't turn then and meet her eyes, and a big grin spread across his face, "Good timing, I just got here a few minutes ago." he called over to her, pushing off the monument and making his way over to her.

He paused as he reached her, looking her up and down, checking her out, and his grin got even bigger as he met her eyes, "You look really nice." he complimented.

In the face of his boyishly handsome grin and compliment, her depressed feelings were washed away and she felt her cheeks heat up, a wide smile spreading across her face, "You think so?" she beamed, hopping in place happily.

The motion caused his eyes to flicker to her chest, which had bounced noticeably and he stared for all of a split second before looking her in the eye again, it was so quick if she wasn't looking at him directly she would have missed it, "Definitely, all the other guys around will be totally jealous." he replied.

'I saw that, you can't hide that gaze from me~' Hestia giggled internally, he tried his best to, and had been for the last few days, but his interest in her breasts had been quite apparent.

Not that she minded.

Actually, she was quite pleased.

'In fact~' a mischievous thought occurred, "Then I'm glad." she beamed at him and hopped in place noticeably once more, making her breasts bounce.

His eyes moved to stray down before he caught himself, and Hestia almost pouted. But instead, she latched onto his arm, hugging it between her breasts, "So where are we headed first?" she grinned up at him.

There would be plenty of chances to tease him tonight.

"Wherever you want," he shrugged, "Though before we get right down to the date, I was hoping you could update my falna."

Hmm, seemed he was excited to get an update on his status and didn't want to wait, "Sure, there's a place in the bookstore I like we can use." Hestia agreed. She liked it because it had some small private rooms where people could read quietly and in private.

Also, she couldn't deny that she was super curious to see his growth from the day.

Less than ten minutes later, kneeling over the bare torso of her first child, the symbol of their bond showing proudly on his back, Hestia found herself staring gobsmacked.

'This…this is absurd.' she goggled.

Like, she was just thinking about how absolutely amazing and powerful his skill was while in the divine bathhouse.

But…he'd completely blown her expectations out of the water…again.

His rate of growth, was truly mind boggling.

"…Did you do something special today?" she couldn't help but ask as she idly pressed a piece of paper against his back, beginning to imprint a copy of his status onto it so he could see it.

Because they were going out on their date, she was just giving him a quick update, and hadn't really looked into his adventure of the day, since it would take quite a bit of time to see all of it.

"I made a killing in the dungeon, one of my plans paid off and I found a really special monster that gives a really amazing drop item," he replied, "I've been trying to spawn it since my first time in the dungeon, I got lucky with it today. And then I used some of the money I got off of it to buy six Infant Dragon magic stones, and I made my way down to the seventh floor today and killed like a hundred monsters in total down there."

'Six!?' Hestia's eyes flew wide open. Never mind the fact he'd went down that far already, or killed such a huge amount of monsters, but six magic stones from Infant Dragon's?

He'd eaten five in total before today. That explained where the massive bulk of his improvement came from, and if he really did kill that many monsters, from the seventh floor at that…

Well, it made sense.

But still, this was crazy!

All of his stats had risen up to the S-rank! That was absurd! The amount of people that gained an S-rank in one stat before levelling up was apparently absurdly low.

And in less than a week he'd brought all of his stats to over it!

And that wasn't even the end of it. He'd gotten his hands on eight new abilities since she last saw him this morning. They weren't exactly all super high tier skills or spells, but each were incredibly useful. Speed enhancement, poison, poison resistance which most usually got as a development ability on levelling up, even an ability to heal others!

'Forget being one of, Typhon might very well be the strongest skill ever!' Hestia teetered back and forth on her child's back, wide eyed in shock and body numb.

Never mind blowing her expectations out of the water, he ran circles around them before blowing a raspberry in their face and kicking them in the crotch before running off into the horizon.

If this was how strong he'd gotten in just a mere five days…how strong would he be after a year?
