Chapter 0044: I Will Come Back Alive! 

After an hour.

It was already late at night when Yami walked out of the dungeon.

The hours-long exploration was exhausting physically and mentally. Now that he had returned to a safe environment, Yami immediately felt very relaxed, and even the starry sky at night became extremely beautiful.

The life of an adventurer was indeed full of all kinds of excitement.

However, it was also very tiring. Walking on the verge of death was not something everyone could bear. Therefore, most adventurers who could not accept this kind of life would give up on entering the dungeon and switch to easier jobs. 

Yami had seen a different life after coming to Orario not long ago.

No matter how the surrounding situation changed, his goal would never change. Since he had the opportunity to come to the capital of the gods and had infinite possibilities, he must not be willing to fall.

No matter what, at least he had to become strong, and experience love with the goddess.

Whether it was Hestia or Hephaestus, Yami liked them very much. As for Loki, the God of Tricks... forget it.

After all, there was really nothing Loki could make people like.

You could hear people confessing their love to Hestia or Hephaestus in Orario, but you will never hear a message from a male adventurer who loved Loki.

Sure enough, Flat Rocks had no human rights.

"Ah, Choo!!!"

At this moment, the sneezes from the three goddesses sounded in no particular order.

 …

"However, I never expected that the supporter I rescued would be Lily. It was a little surprising, but it's a pity that her will is almost exhausted, and she doesn't want to resist. Even as a supporter of the Soma family, I would have done my best just to survive."

"Sure enough, I still don't have the talent of the protagonist, so I'd better not have anything to do with her in the future and let the future 'hero' Bell do this kind of thing."

"However, goddess Hestia can't be handed over to that guy Bell. I must think of how to get love from the goddess Hestia before that rabbit appears."

With this idea in mind, Yami quickly disappeared into the night.

 …

squeak~~~

There was a rattling sound from the wooden door.

In the darkness, a figure entered the room lightly. It was Yami who had just returned from the dungeon to the Hephaestus family.

His movements were gentle along the way, and he didn't run into anyone.

Presumably, no one could find out that he had left the family residence, so naturally, there was no need to explain too much.

"Phew, no one has noticed. Let's rest now. I have to go to the captain tomorrow to continue learning forging skills. I don't know when I can create magic equipment."

After a sigh of relief, Yami lit the magic stone lamp on the wall.

But when he turned around, he froze in place with an embarrassed expression.

On the bed near the room wall, Goddess Hephaestus in everyday clothes looked as beautiful as ever, but this time she looked at him with a half-smile.

Obviously, Hephaestus had completely heard Yami's monologue just now.

This was really bad news!

"Hephaestus-sama, you haven't slept so late. What are you doing here?"

Yami bit the bullet and greeted Hephaestus.

However, it was obviously unrealistic to muddle through at this time.

"Good evening, Yami, I have been waiting in your room for a long time, but I didn't expect you to return so late. Can you tell me where you went?"

It didn't sound like a question, but Yami clearly heard dissatisfaction in her voice.

"Uh..." Yami hesitated a little, but he could only tell the truth in the end, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, Hephaestus-sama. I couldn't sleep at night, so I went to the dungeon to practice independently. I'm only coming back now. Sorry I didn't inform you in advance."

"You really entered the dungeon."

Not feeling the lie, Hephaestus sighed helplessly, "There is no need to apologize for this kind of thing, but I still want to say that although our Hephaestus family is a craftsman family, we do not stop entering the dungeon. Yami, there is absolutely no need for you to be so sneaky!"

"The dungeon at night is very dangerous. If you are so reckless, I will worry about you."

With a slightly reproachful tone and the caring eye of Goddess, Yami was very embarrassed.

He had not experienced this type of concern for him for a long time.

"I'm sorry, Hephaestus-sama, I know I was wrong. I will pay attention in the future, so I won't worry you anymore" Yami patted his arm as if to verify the authenticity of his words, "Actually, Don't look at me as a newcomer. I'm not as weak as you imagine. If I can't even protect myself I..."

Puff!

Yami's words came to an abrupt end.

A soft touch and charming fragrance completely enveloped him, and before he could react at all, his head was already embraced by Hephaestus.

Even though there was an obvious height difference between the two, this action seemed quite normal.

In a daze, Yami seemed to hear the whispering voice from the Goddess.

"I know you are very powerful, but Yami, no matter how powerful you become in the future, you must remember that I will wait for you to return to the family residence."

"Ah, I understand, Hephaestus-sama. I will come back alive."
