Lin Feng, having squeezed in, saw Hestia looking at Hephaestus with an expression of utter disbelief. It was just, seeing this scene, Lin Feng really wanted to laugh out loud. It was indeed a bit comical. Hestia's standards had really hit rock bottom! Where was the pride of one of the Three Great Virgin Goddesses? If Loki found out about this, she would definitely laugh herself to death.
"Hephaestus..."
Hestia's eyes were lifeless as she muttered to herself, just like a kitten abandoned by its owner. No adventurer dared to intervene in this matter between two goddesses. It was best to just watch the spectacle from a distance. Especially the red-haired, eyepatch-wearing goddess, Hephaestus. If she set her sights on you, you'd be miserable. You'd probably find it hard to buy equipment or supplies anywhere in Orario... and in the end, you could only tuck your tail and leave Orario for somewhere else.
"Hestia... now that you've come to Orario, don't you want to build your own Familia?"
"If you keep wasting away like this every day, no adventurers will come to your door!"
Hephaestus's expression gradually softened. She looked down at Hestia, who was still hugging her thigh, and spoke with a tone of disappointment, like hating iron for not becoming steel. It wasn't that she was short on money. It was just that if she watched her friend continue to be so decadent, she herself would be one of the culprits responsible!
"Mn... I know!"
"I will definitely build a Familia that surpasses Loki's and Freya's!!!"
Hestia released her hands, stood up, wiped her tears, and shouted loudly at Hephaestus.
It was obvious to everyone present, whether god or adventurer, that the loli goddess was just speaking in anger. One must know, the Freya Familia had the Lv.7 who was hailed as Orario's strongest... of course, this was just what was commonly believed... Orario used to have Lv.9 powerhouses. It was just that because the Hera and Zeus Familias joined forces to subjugate the Black Dragon, they suffered a great defeat! They were almost completely wiped out... the only ones left behind were low-level Familia members. In the end, the Hera and Zeus Familias were driven out of Orario by the Freya and Loki Familias, which led to the current situation. How could a little rookie god like Hestia, who had just descended, possibly know all these twists and turns. And, out of fear of the power of the Freya and Loki Familias, this matter had basically been buried.
"Good! I'll be waiting for your Familia to grow strong! When that time comes, I will personally forge a weapon for your Familia's captain!"
Although Hephaestus knew Hestia was just speaking in anger, she still said something to motivate her. A weapon personally forged by her, a goddess. Such a thing was exceedingly rare. But, this was her promise to her good friend, Hestia.
"I know. Thank you... Hephaestus."
Hestia dried her tears and said, a little embarrassed. Only then did she realize what she had just done. Now, where could she put her face as a goddess?
"Hello!"
Many adventurers, seeing the show was over, gradually began to leave... after all, the most important things in this city were farming money! And farming EXP! Without money, you can't survive. Without strength, your status in the Familia will gradually decline, until you end up as cannon fodder. Seeing that the adventurers had mostly left, Lin Feng stepped forward to greet them. These two goddesses: one was the Goddess of the Forge, and the other was the blue-ribbon heroine! Hestia!
"Is there something you need?"
The two, who were just preparing to say goodbye, suddenly heard Lin Feng's voice. Hephaestus turned her head and saw a bright, handsome young man walking over with a smile.
"It's nothing, I just saw you two senpais and wanted to come over."
"I'm a minor god who just descended from Tenkai yesterday. I hope to be in your care from now on, senpais!" Lin Feng acted just like a normal junior meeting his seniors, hoping to receive some guidance.
"A god? You descended even later than Hestia?"
Hephaestus was stunned by Lin Feng's self-introduction. One must know, there weren't many gods left up in Tenkai; most had already descended one after another.
Of course, there are also gods who were killed in the human world and passively returned to Tenkai, so it's not like Tenkai is completely empty.
But she hadn't expected... Hestia's descent was already considered one of the latest, yet here was another god descending even now.
The pie that is Orario is only so big. After the last great upheaval, it's pretty much all been divided up.
"Eh! I have a junior?"
Hestia also looked extremely surprised.
When she first descended to Orario, she learned from Hephaestus and from reading books that she had apparently arrived late... which is why she had just been living decadently at her friend's place.
"Hello, Kohai-kun! I'm Hestia! I descended three months ago!"
Hestia beamed, thrilled that she actually had a junior. She extended her hand in friendship.
"Hello, Senpai Hestia!"
Lin Feng reached out and lightly grasped Hestia's white-lace-gloved hand, letting go after just a second.
