Lefiya Viridis looked at Tsubaki, and then at Hephaestus, who looked unhappy. She could not help but feel a little numb, and felt that the food in her hands suddenly did not smell so good.
Is this something I should be listening to?!
I will not be silenced later, right?!
Afraid of hearing something she should not hear again, Lefiya hurriedly immersed herself in her food and pretended not to hear anything .
Even the big-hearted Tiona could not help but twitch her eyes, looking at Tsubaki with eyes full of admiration.
Is she really so brave? Awesome!
Although on the Loki Familia side, because Loki often behaves poorly, the executives of the Loki Familia have fewer scruples about their attitude toward her. Well, it can even be said to be quite casual.
But each Familia has its own situation. Hephaestus is different from Loki in that she is a serious god. Faced with Hephaestus like this, Tiona told herself that she would never dare to speak arrogantly or loudly.
Therefore, seeing that Tsubaki actually dared to complain to Hephaestus without any mercy, she was shocked for a moment .
She really is something! So brave!
As for Ais?
She really did not hear it and was concentrating on eating.
Ryuu Lion heard it but pretended not to .
Gulp, gulp, gulp~ Hic!
Tsubaki drank another half of the bottle of wine, and when Hephaestus did not speak, she said impatiently:
Now, Lord God, are you listening?
Well, I am listening.
Hephaestus replied with a dark face and a kind smile. Her one exposed eye stared at Tsubaki with a dangerous look .
Although she also knew that Tsubaki was telling the truth, it was indeed her fault that she did not care about the children of the Familia. But reasonably speaking, did she not want to save face?! Could she say this kind of thing in front of outsiders?!
Tsubaki propped up her shaky body.
Just listen, okay? How are you thinking about it? Please give me a definite answer quickly. You do not want to give up this Familia.
Seeing Tsubaki's somewhat arrogant look, Hephaestus's fists hardened!
Calm down.
Seeing that Hephaestus was about to explode, Hestia quickly held her down.
Hephy, she was just drunk and talking nonsense. Do not take it seriously.
But her words were very clear. I thought she was telling the truth after being drunk!
Even if she is telling the truth after drinking, it is useless to do anything to her now. She will probably forget it when she wakes up from the wine.
We can settle the accounts later, but her arrogant attitude really needs to be dealt with, so let me give her a break first!
In the end, Hestia could not stop Hephaestus.
After a series of thuds and bangs, Tsubaki, who was already drunk, fell into a sleep like a baby .
Phew!
After venting for a while, Hephaestus sat back down with a refreshed look on her face.
...
Everyone looked at the fallen Tsubaki and was a little speechless. They were both sympathetic and amused.
Sympathy for Tsubaki's recent experiences and for being beaten. Amusement at Tsubaki's bravery in asking for a hammer.
But the problems she mentioned should really be dealt with.
After Hephaestus calmed down, she also began to face the problem that Tsubaki had just mentioned.
It was not a problem to leave those people of the Hephaestus Familia alone. As Tsubaki said, most of these people had gathered because of her. If she was separated from them, their morale would definitely disperse, and the Hephaestus Familia would be disbanded sooner or later.
But if she were allowed to return to Orario and manage these people herself, Hephaestus would not be very happy because she was now used to living in Dimensional City.
There were different new topics to study every day, and her life was very fulfilling. There would even be more new worlds in the future, and new things were waiting for her to discover and study.
And was this not what she dreamed of?
They, the gods, came to the Lower World just to have fun. Now that Hephaestus had found better fun than the Familia game, she would definitely not be happy if she were asked to go back to playing house.
But the human heart is made of flesh, and after running it for so long, she was a little reluctant to suddenly give up on her young dependents.
So...
Takumi, how do you think this matter should be handled?
Hephaestus looked at Takumi and asked.
Although she was asking questions and seeking Takumi's opinion, her expectant expression was obviously hinting at something.
Takumi was stunned for a moment and understood what was going on. After receiving the hint, he could not help but smile and said:
Do you not already have the answer?
What is your opinion? Hephaestus asked, slightly uneasy.
Takumi shrugged.
I do not have any objection. These dependents of yours are all talents in blacksmithing. Dimensional City welcomes all talents.
Yes, the solution that Hephaestus thought of was to integrate her Familia members into Dimensional City.
In this way, she could continue to live in Dimensional City without taking time to go to Orario. At the same time, these dependents of hers would also get better development opportunities in Dimensional City and contribute to its construction.
This could be said to be a win-win solution.
And all she needed to do was occasionally show her face in front of these dependents and teach them forging skills. She usually did this kind of work anyway, but the people she mentored were the girls in Dimensional City. It did not take much effort to bring these dependents along now.
In this way, this plan could be said to kill three birds with one stone!
However, it was not her decision whether she could incorporate these dependents, so she needed to ask Takumi for his opinion. Only if Takumi agreed would it work.
Takumi did not object to this.
Because he originally had the idea of recruiting a large number of people in the world, and among them, he had been eyeing the members of the Hephaestus Familia a long time ago.
However, Dimensional City at that time was only built up to the inner city. Most of Hephaestus's dependents were men, and it was inconvenient to relocate them after they were recruited, so it was never implemented.
Now that the construction of the inner city had been completed and the construction of the outer city had begun, it would be no problem to recruit these dependents.
As he said just now, as long as they were talented people, Dimensional City would not reject them. Not to mention, these were technical talents who were popular no matter where they went. The more such talents, the better!
That is great!
Seeing that Takumi agreed, Hephaestus was also very happy. She was so excited that she forgot that there were outsiders present and kissed Takumi boldly.
!!!
In addition to Ais, who was concentrating on cooking, Ryuu, Lefiya, and Tiona were all watching silently.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened in shock, looking back and forth between Takumi and Hephaestus in confusion, somewhat unsure as to what the relationship between the two was.
Hephaestus suddenly realized what she had done, and could not help but blush and look away.
