Chapter 11 – Hestia and Lies.
Chapter 11 – Hestia and Lies.
I took a hot shower when I got home while still looking at the system message. I'm still incredulous that I got Aisha pregnant in one night. It has to be wrong; it doesn't make sense.
'This damn system could at least let me choose if I want to impregnate my partner or not. It would be simpler that way.'
Or maybe I chose to do it while drunk and don't remember. What a headache.
I turned off the shower and sighed. 'By the way, where does this water come from? And it's hot water. Plus, there's electricity here, although my computer isn't working.'
Not even the old TV works. I can only turn on the light.
'Whatever.'
I left the bathroom and changed clothes.
After getting ready, I grabbed the sword and the knife to head to the dungeon. But before that, I have to distribute these points. I want to keep increasing my speed and strength, so...
[Points: 33]
"Put 20 points in agility and 13 points in strength."
[Strength is now 48!]
[Agility is now 65!]
"Hmmm, did something change?"
I went to the mirror and took off my shirt. Finally, it started to change. The muscles in my arms grew, and my chest became even more toned as if I had been working out for a long time.
"It even looks like I'm a bit taller. Now I just need to cut my hair and shave this beard to look better." Since my eyes were a beautiful light blue, I would look very handsome with my current physique if I took better care of myself.
But I'll do that later.
I left my room and headed to the church to meet Hestia. When I got there, she was eating bread. It was bread stuffed with something I couldn't identify. Hestia was eating happily.
"Oh, you're here? Going to the dungeon again today?"
"I have to go every day, don't I? I need to make money."
"You don't have to overdo it. And what is it? You look a bit tired."
"It's that I didn't sleep well last night."
"What were you doing?"
"I was training again."
"..." Hestia stopped chewing and stared at me. After that, the fake smile on her face disappeared, and she looked at me coldly. "Why do you lie to me so much?" she asked.
When I heard her voice, my heart almost stopped.
"..."
"When we met for the first time, you lied. Last night, you lied. Now you're lying again. What were you doing during those nights? And were you really looking for a Familia to join?"
"About that... I indeed wanted to join your Familia."
"..."
"You know that's true. From the beginning, I planned to join the Hestia Familia. That's because I like you a lot, Goddess. I wanted to do that, and I happened to meet you at the guild."
"I understand. So you really wanted to join."
"And about trying to join other Familias, that was indeed a lie. I just wanted to pretend I was desperate so you would accept me. And I also said that without thinking… Haha."
This is all true. I said that without thinking for a moment and acted like an idiot. I realized my mistake instantly, but it was too late… But the Goddess didn't mind.
"You're telling the truth… But why did you want to join my Familia?"
"I already told you, didn't I? It's because I like you." This is not a lie. I love the character Hestia, and interacting with her like this is great. Seeing her act so cute makes me feel guilty for thinking about doing something against her while she was sleeping.
"You like me? You mean…" Hestia averted her gaze. She wasn't blushing, but she looked a bit uncomfortable.
"Don't overthink it. I just like you." I smiled at her, and she sighed.
"But you haven't told me what you were doing at night. You're going to tell me, right?"
"It's a bit embarrassing…"
"Come on, tell me!" Hestia jumped off the couch and placed her bread on the table. "If you don't tell me, I'll get mad!"
"Is what I was doing that important?"
"It is!" Hestia glared at me coldly. If she wants to know so badly, there's no reason to lie to her.
"I was with women. Satisfied? I said it."
"With women? Were you drinking and all?"
"..." I remained silent to avoid complicating things.
"I see…" But Hestia seemed to understand what was happening, her face turning red immediately. "Now I understand why you said it was embarrassing… Well, I don't care about any of that. Cough… Cough… But don't lie to me again from now on, understood?"
"Of course, Goddess, I won't lie."
"You lied again."
"What?"
"Just kidding. So, let's eat something. You're hungry, aren't you? You look so worn out. The night must have been tiring…"
"Yes… Haha."
An awkward atmosphere filled the room.
So I left before even eating anything.
'It doesn't seem like she was angry that I was with women. Well, why would she be mad anyway?'
She's just the Goddess of my Familia. She wouldn't care about my relationships like that.
And I also had the opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding. Fortunately, she seems to have understood and calmed down since everything I said this time was true.
'Now, let's hunt a bit more in the dungeon. Should I go down a few more floors?'
Damn… I'm still thinking about that damn pregnancy.
