Me, Hydra

"...Ahem, I feel that deeply as well~"

Shaking his head, Hades curled his face and turned his gaze to Hydra.

"That's enough of the idle chatter, we might as well talk about the deal first if we have that kind of time."

"Of course, except for Hephaestus how about you guys make sure you don't trip up the Celtic people when they leave?"

"You're just sitting on your ass!!!"

Hades' expression looked a little offended, but Hydra wasn't tigerish by the appearance, instead shrugging her shoulders with a pleasant face.

"Hey, man. We don't need to hide anything from each other if we all know what we're doing. Wouldn't it be nice to be frank? If I wanted to I could have held off until the beasts attacked the mountain, I would have done that long ago if it wasn't for some concerns about the contract. And to be clear, even if you hand over the Celts to me it won't make any difference to you, counting me, Sparta has a total of nine main god level combatants, even if Skaha comes just exactly ten, and the lower level combatants you even hold eighty percent of the entire population of Greece. What more do you guys not know?!"

"No, no, no, you've miscalculated. After Hephaestus was handed over to you it means that you once again have an additional combat power on the level of the Lord God, and it's also the God of the Artisan's Grid Lord who has the faith of over twenty percent of the world's population. The weapons he forged alone can make up for a large portion of his combat power, okay?"

At the news, Hydra frowned, this Hades seemed to be a lot more difficult than she thought.

But this toughness went to inspire Hydra's experience in the market shopping in her last life.

"No, no, no, no, although Hephaestus is here to mess with me, he might be in Sparta with his heart in Olympus. If he tampered a bit with the casting of weapons and equipment we'd be in for a world of hurt! Besides, the fact that I gave you my antidote means that this killer weapon of mine won't work now in the future, I use poison myself, and this battle loss is like if you don't have the dead air of the underworld, Zeus doesn't have the lightning and fire spear, and Poseidon can't connect the four seas, okay?"

Hearing Hydra's words, the Hades on the side swallowed his saliva .

Hydra was right, once the antidote to this epidemic was known it meant that Hydra's venom would not work, it would be like cutting off an arm for Hydra....

"Well then, I can agree to your terms, but from now on Hephaestus cannot build you any sharp objects or armor. How's that?"

At the news, Hydra narrowed her eyes.

Sharp things were undoubtedly weapons like swords and spears in times like these, and if Hephaestus was made unable to make sharp things, then it meant that a large part of Hephaestus' abilities had been cut off....

As she thought about it, Hydra's lips were slightly raised.

Although it was said that one couldn't build a sword and spear, but firearms in the latter days didn't belong to the category of swords and spears....

Nodding, Hydra agreed in one breath. The speed, the decisiveness and even zero Hades had some doubts if there was some loophole in what he just said.

After carefully pondering twice and finding no loopholes Hades shook his head helplessly.

"Although I don't understand why you would take in a guy who can only make farming tools, I'm not going to ask too many questions. If there's no problem then we can sign the contract in the presence of the great god Kaos."

Nodding, Hydra and Hades extended their right hands at the same time.

After a tedious ceremony the contract was established.

Nodding, Hades tossed the key in his hand to Hydra.

"This key links to the cell where Hephaestus is being held, and I can't do anything about that with the contract in place. I never thought that a sea serpent who relied on counting to come to a certain territory in the Aegean Sea could grow to this point... If I had known that I would have taken you to the Underworld then."

"Che, if you say so I should have woken up when my father first rushed to the heavens to wipe you all out!"

Hearing Hydra's words, Hades raised his eyebrows at once.

"What's wrong? Can't you even take a joke?"

Looking at a surprised Hydra, Hades took a breath.

"Take my word for it, it's not just for your own good to make sure to keep things about your father to a minimum in the future. It's also good for us... Your father, is more than just an evil dragon. What's involved behind him, we're not even qualified to touch."

Hearing Hades' words, Hydra frowned.

Seeing this, Hades shrugged his shoulders.

"Let's talk about these things later, I've got something to do so I'll be off~ We can exchange tips on being a brother with each other if we use our time later~"

At the news, Hydra laughed as well.

"It's more like wiping your brother's ass than the experience of being a brother~"

"Hahaha~"

Volume I: Text-91 - Hydra's Thoughts

Looking at Hephaestus in front of him, Hydra shrugged her shoulders.

"Though I can see you're reluctant... but I'm sorry we meet again~"

Hearing Hydra's words, Hephaestus gritted his teeth and looked angrily at Hydra in front of him.

"You madman!"

"Of course I'm crazy, in other words, aren't all the crazy people that exist in this world? This belongs to the age of the madman, and if you are not mad, someone else will kill you. Has your conscience brought you any excellent reward? None. In a man-eating world, only madmen survive."

As she spoke, Hydra spread her palms.

Hydra's expression was very calm and his speech was very slow. Even the tone of his voice was like a calm, wave-free ancient well. It wasn't directed at anything, it was as if Hydra was just speaking the world as she saw it, without any favoritism or targeting, Hydra looked at Hephaestus in front of her.

"To be honest, this man-eating world is very much at odds with the pure and benign nature of your physiognomy. You clearly occupy the divine form of the God of Foundry, but you are drunk on forging rather than improving your battle strength... and because of that, you have ended up where you are today."

Hearing Hydra's words, Hephaestus shook his head indifferently.

"Now what's the point of you saying that? Anyway, you've signed a contract with Hades not to let me build armor and swords, haven't you? Now I'm a complete wreck..."

Shrugging her shoulders, Hydra took out a stack of drawings from the mouth of the head of space.

"Simple, let's talk about it when you bar build the thing~"

"...Why should I help you?"

Hearing Hephaestus' words, Hydra shrugged her shoulders.

"You're idle anyway, aren't you? You can't fight, you can't forge armor or swords, it's just as well, this thing isn't sharp, it's just a toy when it's researched~ Maybe by enlisting this thing your strength can be further improved~"

With an indifferent glance at Hydra in front of him, Hephaestus let out a helpless sigh.

"Just...I live there."

"There are opinion vacant blacksmith shops in the southwest corner of Spartan City, if it's okay with you, you can go wherever you want, and of course you can charge a tip if a Spartan resident asks you to help mend farming tools~"
