Chapter 14

Loki slammed the table with a menacing aura, discontented.

"Eliminate them! Anyone who lusts after Ais-chan must be eliminated!"

"..."

Then please eliminate yourself first!

Lefiya mentally retorted, and then immediately realized what Loki was referring to in the rumors.

After figuring it out, she explained with some amusement.

"Lord Loki, you're mistaken. Ais-san hasn't fallen for anyone. The actual situation is like this..."

Soon, Lefiya clearly explained what had happened before.

"As expected, it's just a rumor."

Riveria nodded, not surprised.

"What a letdown, so that's how it is. I thought someone was going to snatch Ais-chan from me!"

Loki patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

After putting aside her worries, she immediately became interested in the Su Mo that Ais mentioned.

"To make Ais-chan so persistent, could it be that he really has a growth rate that can surprise even Ais?"

She was a little surprised.

After all, Ais advanced from LV1 to LV2 in just one year, making her the adventurer with the fastest promotion speed.

It was hard to imagine that someone could break Ais's record.

"That might be the case, but it's possible that Ais-san just misremembered."

Lefiya added.

"After all, Ais-san doesn't remember the other party's strength very clearly when they last met."

"That's more like it!"

Loki was relieved.

Compared to some freak's growth speed exceeding Ais, it was easier to accept that Ais had misremembered.

Anyway, Ais is usually absent-minded and looks like she easily forgets things.

After understanding the whole story, Riveria immediately cast a blaming gaze at Ais.

"Ais, I remember Loki said before that it's very impolite to inquire about other people's methods of getting stronger, right?"

"Um..."

Being told this by Riveria, who had raised her like a mother.

Ais couldn't help but lower her head, looking like she knew she was wrong.

Seeing her expression, Riveria didn't continue to blame her, but said.

"Since it's your rudeness, even if the other party didn't tell you the method, you must remember to go and apologize to them properly tomorrow."

Riveria didn't plan to spoil them too much when it came to educating her juniors.

The proper etiquette must be in place.

"Um."

Ais nodded, listening to Riveria's words.

She herself knew that her previous actions were very rude, and an apology was in order.

As for the other party's secret to getting stronger... perhaps she really did misremember.

Ais thought to herself and then made a decision.

--Tomorrow, I'll go apologize.

019 Blue Ribbon Goddess is Routinely Counter-Attacked

On the other side, at the entrance of the Hestia Familia's residence, Su Mo didn't know that Ais was planning to come and apologize to him the next day.

Even if he did know, he probably wouldn't care about such a small matter right now.

Because, compared to these things.

Figuring out whether the sharing of the mist space would also share the experience points accumulated from fighting monsters was the most important thing.

Besides, now that he had become so much stronger.

He should share this joy with someone.

And the only person qualified to share this joy and whom Su Mo gave 100% trust to was only one person.

Taking a deep breath.

Su Mo knocked on the door.

"Hestia, I'm back!"

"Su Mo!"

Hestia's cheerful voice immediately came from inside the door.

Then, the door was opened, and the loli goddess with blue ribbons wrapped around her body rushed over happily.

"Welcome home!"

Hestia hugged Su Mo like a koala, saying lines she didn't know where she had learned from.

"You've worked hard today, I should reward you properly."

"Do you want to eat first, or take a bath first, or..."

Hestia teased her only familia member, who was also her only family, with a mischievous smile on her face.

"I choose to eat Hestia-sama first, so are you ready?"

Su Mo hugged Hestia and teased her back as usual.

Heh heh!

He wasn't the type to not eat the food that was delivered to his door.

Nor was he the pure and innocent rabbit who didn't know what to say after being teased by a mere loli goddess.

If he had to say, Su Mo felt that he was the big bad wolf type.

As expected, as soon as Su Mo said this.

Hestia panicked instead.

As one of the most famous three virgin goddesses in the heavenly realm, although Hestia liked Su Mo, that was true.

But she wasn't mentally prepared to take that step yet.

"Wait!"

Hestia waved her hands in a hurry.

"I'm a god, Su Mo, your words are blasphemy, you'll be punished by the heavens!"

"But... as long as Hestia is willing, it doesn't count as blasphemy, right?"

Su Mo asked, pressing closer.

In fact, among the gods in the lower realm, except for a few virgin goddesses like Hestia and Artemis, most of the other gods and goddesses had partners.

Especially the goddess of beauty, Freya, who probably had already achieved a record of ten thousand kills.

If intimate acts with gods were considered blasphemy, then there would be too many criminals involved.

Even the gods wouldn't recognize such a clause.

In reality, as long as the god himself is willing, they generally won't be held accountable.

"Uh, theoretically that's right, but, but..."

Hestia was completely flustered, racking her brains to think about how to reply.

If her attitude of refusal was too strong, would it hurt Su Mo's heart and make Su Mo think that she didn't like him?

But if her attitude of refusal was too soft, what if that child couldn't help himself and wanted to attack her?

She wasn't mentally prepared yet.

As a god who had stayed in the heavenly realm for tens of thousands of years, her romantic experience was completely blank.

She didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

Seeing the loli goddess's flustered appearance, Su Mo couldn't help but find it a little funny.

This loli goddess was really bad at it but addicted to it.

Every time she teased him, she got counter-attacked.

But she never learned her lesson.

Putting Hestia down, he patted the blue ribbon goddess's head.

"Okay, I won't tease you, I've known for a long time that Goddess Hestia is a coward. I have serious business to do today, so I'll let you off for now."

"Uu ~"

Hestia touched her head, letting out an unwilling wail.

She always felt that her dignity as a goddess was getting lower and lower.

However, shaking her twin tails, Hestia temporarily put this small matter behind her, and then looked up, curiously looking at Su Mo.

"Serious business? What is it?"

Since taking Su Mo as her familia member, Hestia was very satisfied with her current life.

Although it was a little strange that Su Mo didn't want to go to the dungeon, Hestia didn't mind it, or rather, she quite agreed with Su Mo's idea.

She only had this one familia member, how could she let him go to the dungeon to adventure!

Even if he didn't go to fight monsters and level up, but lived a plain and ordinary life as a normal person, Hestia didn't hate it.

She also knew that Su Mo would usually go to the commercial street to sell fried rice to earn money.

If there was any serious business... could it be that Su Mo had developed a new dish again?

"It's this."

While answering Hestia, Su Mo began to take off his top.

"Uhii--! Wa, wait!"

Seeing Su Mo's actions, Hestia, who had completely misunderstood, immediately made a flustered sound.

"Could it be that the so-called serious business is this... Su Mo, it's too early for us now, wait! At least let me take a bath first! And then change into a cuter outfit!"

While shouting in a panic, Hestia covered her eyes with her hands.

However, because the gaps between her fingers were too wide, it seemed like she wasn't blocking her vision at all.

"..."

Su Mo, who had taken off his top, looked at his loli goddess speechlessly.

"The serious business I'm talking about is that I need Hestia to help me update my Falna... what exactly is going on in that little head of yours?"

Hearing these words.

Instantly, with a whoosh, Hestia's little face immediately burned up.

As bright as a fiery cloud, it spread all the way to her neck and ears.

Too embarrassing.

She was clearly a pure virgin goddess, so why were all these impure things in her head after seeing Su Mo!

Hestia felt that if there was a crack in the ground, she would definitely crawl into it.
