Me, Hydra

It's not like you're in a hurry anyway, so I'm sorry if I don't play a big game.

I'll just go.

Dizzy....

Begging for tickets....

Update Changes

I was a bit depressed in class today because I went to bed too late last night, so I was severely criticized by the teacher.

From now on, I'm going to change from three shifts to two shifts a day, adding a thousand words per shift.

Volume 1: Text-85 - A Faint Affinity

As mentioned earlier, Hephaestus' talent in casting is undeniable, and the Thunderfire Spear, Poseidon's Trident, the Double Stranded Fork, the Chariot of the Sun Wheel, etc., all represent the pinnacle of Greek mythology.

But on the other hand, Hephaestus was just too incapable of being a human being.

Basically, as long as a god came to him with a request, Hephaestus would not refuse it, and although this made Hephaestus' reputation spread wider, it invariably made his own prestige more than double....

And this was what Hydra saw in it.

The reason why humans can survive on earth for so long is because they have human nature, as can be seen from the experiences of later generations, whether there are gods in this world or not.

The greed, restraint, thirst, and even cunning in human nature were the wisdom that humans relied on to survive, and in comparison, Hephaestus, who stayed in the volcano all day long, seemed too noble....

Tap, tap, tap, tap....

Aritz, who was wearing battle armor, walked with an indifferent face on the passageway leading to the interior of the volcano.

The passageway as a whole was made up of unknown lapis lazuli, which was made by Hephaestus himself, and even in the middle of the volcano, the lapis lazuli still gave off a cool smell. If it were to be used in later generations, I'm afraid it would be a famous summer relief shrine.

Ares didn't care about these things, in fact, if it wasn't for Hydra's request, Ares wouldn't even want to come here.

Hephaestus and Ares were almost two extremes, depicted on earth as a good god with an ugly face but a pure heart. Ares, on the other hand, is portrayed as an evil god who is handsome in appearance but vicious and murderous at heart. Add to that the fact that he had once cuckolded Hephaestus...how shall I put it, subtlety reveals a bit of awkwardness.

The goddess of beauty is the bus of Mount Olympus, and basically anyone who mates with Aphrodite is in the mood for sex, after all, no one wants their woman to bear another man's child. It's only a stay-at-home honest guy like Hephaestus who takes the job, though he does so under duped circumstances....

But no matter what, the things that he had cuckolded Hephaestus had existed, and even though he had now severed ties with that guy from Mami God, it had happened after all.

Taking a long breath, Ares curled his face. The apology in his heart was enough for now. The next task to be carried out should not be to walk in with an apologetic face.......

With a grimace, Ares kicked the door open and said icily.

"Tonight Father is throwing a big celebration in the great square for the inclusion of that group of outsiders, and all the gods are going to be there. You are no exception."

"........"

After a moment of silence, Hephaestus turned his attention to Ares.

"Why? My legs and feet aren't easy, and besides, picking up the dust for others...someone as ugly as me going over there will only flat out spoil everyone's fun..."

Hephaestus' voice was somewhat low, and Hephaestus naturally possessed ample knowledge of his own appearance. Although it was said that a shining soul was more important than an exquisite appearance, the truth was? It's still a place that judges people by their appearance after all....

Olympus, like the mortal world, often held small events such as banquets, Hephaestus was actually quite good looking, but the other gods were more handsome than one another because of the divine characters within their bodies, and Hephaestus turned ugly in comparison....

Imagine arriving at a party, surrounded by handsome men and women, and you're the only one who's vindicated and middling-looking. You even have a lame leg. All the people isolate you and distance themselves from you. And just a short distance away, there is a group of men around your wife chatting and talking and even having a good time now and then....

"Zee...just think about it..."

Shaking his head helplessly, Hephaestus turned his head away.

Because in the past they'd called themselves when they were looking to throw a party, but of course, it was basically a token call. Because there was no washed up hope that a stirrer would suddenly come out of nowhere to spoil the mood for a party. So, just say no, and still avoid embarrassing such things....

As he thought about it, just as Hephaestus' palm was about to be placed back on top of the hammer, Ares on the other side shook his head.

"You have to go this time, that woman from the Celtic mythical world called Skaha has the combat power of a Lord God. If you don't go you might make her think that you're looking down on her..."

Hearing Ares' words, Hephaestus frowned. Then, he sighed helplessly.

"...If this is me, there's no problem with reporting somewhere and coming back, right...?"

"Yes, after all, no one wants you to stay there all the time either."

"........"

Helplessly, Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief, even though Ares' words were hurtful, Hephaestus knew that Ares was right.

"I know, tonight, right? I'll be there...I hope this doesn't affect your mood~"

As he said that, Hephaestus spread his hands a bit helplessly. The bitterness in the voice could be felt in the tone without even having to delve into it. It made Ares feel a bit sad.

What was it like to be in the meeting of the Lord Gods? As he thought about it, Ares nodded.

"Well then, that's good to know then."

As he said that, Ares indifferently turned around and left, although Hephaestus was his nominal brother, there was actually no interaction between the two of them. Hard to say would be that Ares had cuckolded Hephaestus, but there were too many people, gods, and beasts who had cuckolded Hephaestus, plus now Hephaestus had severed ties with Aphrodite.

Plus, the gods were already a race with little affection, so now Ares and Hephaestus didn't have the slightest brotherly affection, instead, it was more of an emotion between strangers.

In a sense what Zeus did was not wrong, after all, this would mean that Ares and the others could not unite to overthrow their father's theocracy as Zeus and Hades and the others did.

In contrast, while not repeating their father's mistakes, the indifferent affection would, after all, cause a lot of trouble.

Although this is to be expected, Zeus would not have expected anyone to be in the way....

Also went to bed at night with a chapter update....

Asking for tickets -~~~~~~

Volume 1: Text - 86 - Revenge

It was time for the evening, and although I didn't want to go, but since I had been mandatorily invited then I couldn't not go either....

Gathering his form, Hephaestus scrubbed himself down with water and opened his wardrobe.

Hephaestus' wardrobe was one that didn't actually have many clothes either, and despite being the god of craftsmanship, the textile side of things was run by Athena, as evidenced by that spindle on Athena's body. Plus, Hephaestus was already rarely out and about, in saying that...how many clothes could a geek have?
