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

But his hand movements were not disordered in the slightest.

This was the most focused forging she had done in thousands of years.

She could sense that this was the pinnacle of her career.

Just hang in there a little longer...

She gritted her teeth.

The process of the material gradually taking shape is reflected in the single eye.

The temperature inside the forging chamber was high enough that even ordinary gods would find it unbearable.

Hephaestus's skin flushed red, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

Each time her divine hammer fell, it triggered a resonance of stellar power within the material, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.

The last blow!

With a nearly hoarse shout, Hephaestus used all her strength to deliver her final blow.

Boom! ! !

A dazzling beam of starlight shot into the sky, piercing through the roof of the forging room and shining directly into the heavens.

The night sky of Orario was illuminated by this light, and countless adventurers stopped to watch in amazement.

The light gradually dissipated.

A long sword, its surface gleaming, lay quietly on the forging table.

The sword's blade resembled a solidified galaxy.

Countless points of light flowed slowly inside.

The space at the sword's edge was slightly distorted, as if it could even cut through the air.

Hephaestus, having exerted all her strength, nearly collapsed to her knees.

what…

She barely managed to hold onto the forging table, panting heavily.

This was the most exhausting forging she had ever done in her life; it felt as if all her strength had been drained away.

at this time.

A clean white towel was handed to her.

Wipe your sweat, you've worked hard.

Hephaestus looked up abruptly.

His one eye widened.

Looking incredulously at the unknown figure who had appeared beside him... Weiming!

When...when...?

Wei Ming smiled slightly.

I've been here since the third minute you started forging, but seeing how focused you were, I didn't disturb you.

He had been standing there for a full three hours.

But Hephaestus, engrossed in forging, was completely unaware of his presence.

Hephaestus's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly took the towel to wipe the sweat from her face.

I'm so sorry, I didn't notice at all...

No need to apologize.

The unknown voice was incredibly gentle.

It is my honor to see you so focused on your work.

That state of selflessness is truly beautiful.

nice?

Hephaestus froze, the towel hanging in mid-air.

What's so beautiful about forging, a rough job full of sweat and high temperatures...?

Wei Ming shook his head and gently brushed away a strand of wet hair from her forehead.

Quite the opposite.

The way you look when you're focused, the lines of your arm muscles, and the way you pour all your heart and soul into your creation... are more moving than any seductive dance.

Hephaestus's heart skipped a beat at such a frivolous gesture coupled with such charming words.

For thousands of years, no one has ever praised her forging in this way.

In the eyes of most gods, forging was merely a practical skill, far less elegant than the dances of Aphrodite or the music of Apollo.

In addition, her appearance was already abhorred by the gods…

cough…

She coughed lightly to hide her inner turmoil, then turned and pointed at the longsword on the forging table.

It has been completed.

This sword... should meet your requirements; it is the most powerful artifact I have ever forged in my life.

Wei Ming approached the forging table and gently stroked the blade with his fingers.

The blade immediately emitted a pleasant hum, as if in response to his touch.

Perfect skill.

He sincerely praised it.

It was even better than I expected.

Hephaestus, your skill truly lives up to the name of the goddess of forging.

Hephaestus felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction upon receiving such praise.

She forced herself to straighten her back despite her exhaustion.

There are still enough materials left to forge a dagger, if you need them…

Wei Ming shook his head.

He raised his hand and waved.

The remaining materials floated up from the material rack, swirling and melting in mid-air.

It eventually coalesced into an amber-colored gemstone, its interior seemingly sealed with flowing starlight.

This is…

Hephaestus was puzzled by his behavior.

Wei Ming did not answer, but gently shaped the gemstone into a pendant.

He walked up to Hephaestus.

He put it on her head himself, amidst her astonished gaze.

What... what is this doing?

Hephaestus's voice trembled slightly.

She could feel the cool touch of the pendant against her collarbone, and even more so, she could feel the body temperature and breath of an unknown being so close to her own.

Consider this your reward and gift.

He took a half step back, admiring his masterpiece.

It suits you perfectly, you look beautiful.

Hephaestus looked down at the pendant on her chest.

The amber glow reflected on her skin, which was flushed from the heat.

But what made her heart race even faster was the way Wei Ming looked at her—that pure appreciation and tenderness.

A surge of emotion welled up again.

thanks…

she said softly.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the pendant.
