At the unexpected love confession from the goddess Hestia, my mind went blank, and I could not tell how I was supposed to take it.
"Are you... joking?"
"No. I'm serious. I love you, Astellon."
After I tried to deny it, the goddess Hestia immediately refuted my words and laid bare her feelings.
"Why me...?"
"Because you kept seducing me."
"Seducing you? I-I did that when?!"
"All of this happened because you lured me in without even realizing it."
"No... that's..."
I denied it, but the goddess Hestia continued to reveal her honest feelings.
"Still. I already have wives..."
"In this age, it is common and widely accepted to have multiple wives."
"...Why? Why are you going this far? I do not understand why you would set your heart on me to this extent."
"You are an attractive man."
"...Is that so?"
"Yes. You are popular throughout Greece, and among the goddesses as well."
"This is the first I've heard of it."
"Perhaps the goddess Hecate simply did not tell you."
"Ah. Hecate..."
After that, I continued talking with the goddess Hestia. Through that conversation, I came to understand that her feelings were sincere.
"Goddess Hestia. I..."
Once I realized that, my mind turned completely white, and I no longer knew how I was supposed to face her.
"Astellon."
"...Yes, Goddess."
The goddess Hestia looked at me with a merciful smile and spoke.
"I know what you are worried about. You are probably thinking of your wives."
"..."
"It is all right. I have already received permission."
"Permission? What on earth do you mean?"
"Hera found out already, so I went with her to see the goddess Hecate and obtained her permission."
"...What?"
After agonizing over it, I was shocked by the goddess Hestia's words.
Hecate. When on earth did you meet her and give your permission?
"When did you meet Hecate?"
"On the very day I realized these feelings for you."
"...I see. You are quicker to act than I expected."
"Fufu. It seems so."
As I laughed awkwardly, the goddess Hestia slowly drew closer to me.
"G-Goddess?"
Even as I panicked, she kept coming closer. And before long, the goddess Hestia's ample chest pressed against mine.
"Goddess Hestia... what is this, exactly?!"
"Heh heh."
While I was flustered by the large breasts pressing against me, the goddess Hestia wore a smile very much like the one my wives used when they tried to tempt me, and she pressed herself even closer.
"Haa~"
"Ugh...!"
Then she breathed softly into my ear, and when she saw me flinch, she giggled and whispered against my ear.
"Astellon. There is something I have not yet told you... After meeting the goddess Hecate, I somehow ended up meeting the goddess Nyx as well."
"My mother...?"
"Yes. So I spoke with the goddess Nyx too, and with her help I erased a vow I once made."
"A vow, you say..."
When I brought that up, the goddess Hestia erased the smile she had been wearing as though she had been waiting for this moment. And it was a rather seductive smile.
"It was... my 'vow of chastity.'"
"...!"
"I no longer need to preserve my virginity, Astellon."
As she said that, the goddess Hestia gently lifted the hem of her clothes.
"G-Goddess?! What is this supposed to mean...?"
Even as I struggled to keep my wits about me against her sudden seduction, the goddess Hestia kept speaking sweet, honeyed words to me.
"Astellon. Will you teach a man to someone who knows nothing at all? Ah, perhaps doing it here in this temple would not be so bad either."
"G-Goddess? What on earth are you..."
thud
"Ugh...!"
"How is it? Astellon. Take my first time."
The goddess Hestia, speaking while pressing her body against mine, was truly... Her face was pure and innocent, yet her words were anything but, and every time I reacted, she pressed herself even closer.
"...This is. You were the one who provoked me first, Goddess."
"...Yes. Please hold me, Astellon."
After that, I embraced the goddess Hestia, and only after several hours were we able to leave the temple.
And at first, the goddess Hestia had seemed almost virginal, but as time passed, she began to move on her own and draw closer to me.
