Anime Crossover Chat: Daddy was called to the police by Yukino!

After Weiming left with Ais and Hestia.

In the courtyard of Loki's Familia, a discussion about this mysterious man and the rebellious goddess was just beginning to take shape.

...

the other side.

Hestia skipped and hopped through the streets of Orario, a blue ribbon fluttering merrily behind her.

She would occasionally turn back to look at the two people behind her, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

Hurry, hurry! Hephaestus's workshop is just ahead!

She waved her little hands, her voice full of excitement.

Ais, standing beside Weiming, maintained her usual quiet pace, her emerald eyes calmly gazing ahead.

Lady Hestia seems quite pleased. Ais said softly.

Yes, she's been talking about bringing us to meet her good friend since just now.

It was said that she wanted to show the goddess Hephaestus the kin she had joined.

Wei Ming could understand his mentality, the idea of ​​showing off to his good friend.

Ais tilted her head slightly: So, does she plan to tell Lady Hephaestus the truth?

Weiming shrugged.

Please be aware of this.

I guess she probably wanted to see Hephaestus's surprised expression.

but.

After learning the truth, he felt that Hephaestus would only be 153 terrified.

Turn a corner.

A steaming forging workshop came into view, even from a distance.

You can also feel the heat emanating from inside and hear the clanging of metal inside.

Hestia stopped in front of the door.

I took a deep breath and pushed the door open abruptly.

Hephaestus! I've come to see you!

She shouted joyfully.

Inside the workshop.

A red-haired goddess wearing an eye patch is intently hammering a piece of red-hot metal.

I heard shouts.

She looked up.

The remaining eye lit up noticeably when it saw Hestia.

Hestia?

Hephaestus put down the hammer and wiped the sweat from his brow.

What wind blew you here?

Didn't I tell you that I wouldn't take you in again until I found a member of your clan?

Her gaze then shifted to the two people behind Hestia.

She raised an eyebrow slightly when she saw Ais.

Isn't that Fiora from Loki's family?

When her gaze fell on Wei Ming, a hint of doubt and scrutiny flashed in her eyes.

A complete stranger.

Hestia puffed out her chest proudly.

Hmph, Hephaestus, let me introduce you!

She turned and pointed at the two of them.

This is what's next to Ais—

She deliberately dragged out her words.

It's unknown! My family members!

Ok?

Hephaestus was taken aback.

Put down your tools and take a few steps closer.

He looked her up and down, but it was unclear.

With piercing eyes: You are an adventurer who follows this foolish goddess?

Hephaestus narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Weiming again: Interesting. Why would an adventurer whose background is unclear choose to join Hestia's familia?

She folded her arms.

You should know that her clan was newly established, with no resources, no place to stay, and even basic living expenses were a problem.

The temperature inside the workshop seemed to rise as Hephaestus spoke.

Wei Ming could sense the doubt and wariness in the goddess's eyes.

Hephaestus!

Hestia puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

How could you say that to me!

I'm just stating the facts, Hestia.

Hephaestus let out a long sigh.

You know how worried I am about you.

An adventurer who suddenly appears and chooses to follow a goddess like you who has nothing makes me question his motives.

Wei Ming calmly met Hephaestus's gaze.

I understand your concerns, Hephaestus, but I think Hestia and I should be going in the same direction.

Woo!

Hestia blushed when she heard him say that.

Oh?

Upon hearing this, Hephaestus raised an eyebrow.

So tell me, what exactly do you see in Hestia?

Her wisdom? Her wealth? Or her influence in Orario?

With each word she uttered, her tone grew sharper.

Hestia, however, awkwardly shifted her body uneasily to the side.

That, Hephaestus, actually—

Let me finish, Hestia.

Hephaestus raised her hand to interrupt her.

I need to figure out if this person is trustworthy.

She drew ever closer to the unknown.

Speak, adventurer. What is your purpose?

Was it because they coveted Hestia's status as a goddess? Did they want to use her to achieve some nefarious plan? Or were they simply after her provocative, sow-like body?

The air inside the workshop seemed to freeze at that moment.

These words undoubtedly reflect the worst possible perspective on uncertain actions.

Ais stood quietly to the side, her hand unconsciously gripping the hilt of her sword, ready to intervene if the situation got out of control.

Wei Ming, however, showed no sign of panic.

He looked directly into Hephaestus's eyes, his voice steady: "I understand your concerns for Hestia as her good friend."

But Goddess Hephaestus, you have misunderstood something.

Misunderstand?

Hephaestus raised an eyebrow.

Tell me, what did I misunderstand about you?

Ha ha.
