meeting an another goddess
*yawn* the sound of yawning echoed through the room, Hohenheim stretch his arms feeling in comfort, that for hundreds of years, he had a soundless night, in fact, he didn't need sleeping, so he barely did so, yet when he is now in mortal body, where sleep is integral part, he finds it quite refreshing to have that part of the day
"hmm?" on Hohenheim face, he noticed a soft yet springy material, "is that what think it is?" he said to himself as he grasp the soft balls on his face
"ahn~ Hohe-kun ~ you can't ~... stop~ hehehe ~ " the big breasted short deity that hugs him with her knockers to the point of suffocation muttered in her sleep
"haaah.." Hohenheim sighed at his new goddess antics and try to free himself, yet he couldn't as the moment he try moving her, she brings him closer think he might leave her
the blond teen smiled wryly, and give up on not waking her and said in her ear, "morning, Hestia... won't you let me go? it's 8 o'clock already..."
"hnn~ 5 minutes more~" Hestia said half sleeping, the half millenia teen couldn't help but remember his kids waking up, and chuckle internally how his goddess can be this childish, 'I guess that's part of her charm.' he thought with amusement, so he did what he did to his kids... wait 5 minutes,
"ok... Hestia, 5 minutes is up." after the time limit is done he whispered to her ear, and he wasn't surprised to hear her saying "hnn~ another 5...I promise~"
"nope." he said, and on his finger tips, a light blue color appear, by reducing the atoms momentum around them, the temperature went down, and with this icy fingers he touch her neck!
"eeeeek!" Hestia shriek upon contact, leaving the teen body alone while standing on the bed, "mou! why did you do that, hohe-kun! meanie!" Hestia said pouting
"haha!" Hohenheim laughed causing her to pout More, but now she felt a warm feeling on her neck causing the previous chill to disappear, "sorry about that, but now you are awake, ain't you Hestia?" he put his finger on her neck but this time was warm, "as making up for you, I'll make you breakfast." he said with a smile
Hestia eye lit up upon hearing this, "you promised hohe-kun!" Hohenheim chuckled and went to the small kitchen she had, and looked up for something to cook, he smiled helplessly as none of seasoning he knows she had,so he brought a rock nearby, run the alchemy lightning he had, and remember all kind of seasoning and minerals he thinks of that used for cooking, and because he already master how this things is made, he doesn't lose some of his mind or mana because of it, Hestia moved closer to him to watch and was surprised to see him use his magic
"why are you using your magic, hohe-kun?" she ask curiously, "to create seasoning, goddess doesn't have any." he said, Hestia smiled embarrassingly, "sorry... hohe-kun...I promise I'll manage my money good!" Hohenheim smiled, "didn't I tell you to quit your job? so the only income that will be coming is from me and another party if we have eventually." while them talking the stone that's was magically transform into all kind of minerals and seasons, while he is on took some food from the magical refrigerator Hestia has, that's was given to her by her friend
cutting the vegetable, adding the seasons, in less than 15 minutes, the breakfast is ready, Hestia gotten hold her drool, "wow! Hohe-kon! that's looks very delicious!"
"dig it please." Hohenheim smiled and sit on table, opposite to the goddess, Hestia wasn't the shy type as she immediately did that, and took a bite, "hmm~ this is good! very good! how did become a good cook!" she ask while chewing, "Hestia. don't talk while chewing." Hohenheim said scoldly while eating gracefully with a silverware he made from a metal he found nearby,
Hestia pouts but do as told and slowly savoring the tasty food she rarely eats, after she sallowed, "here! I sallowed! please tell me!"Hohenheim chuckled, "well, cooking is relaxing to me... and while living too long, it's a nice way to pass time."
"hmm? but you are young hohe-kun!" Hestia retorts, "I don't how long I lived, but it's definitely in the 4 digits, and even with that long I can't make food as good as this!"
"yes...I'm only 15..." Hohenheim smiled strangely, Hestia didn't detect any lie, but thought that the truth is more than that, but ask for details as she rather knows her child slowly
"is that so~ anyway this food might rival that's of hostess of fertility!"
"hmm? what that?" while the memories in this body had some knowledge, not everything is known to him.
"oh! that super duper popular restaurant/bar/inn in the city! oh I know! we must go da-!" Hestia stopped her tracks, 'wait! that place is full of beautiful women! especially the waitresses! if any of those vixens led her eyes on my handsome hohe-kun...she might steal him from me!' Hestia brain was put on fight or flight mode
"woah? that popular? then let's visi-"
"no!" Hestia said in denial
"hmm? why?" Hohenheim asks
"that's... because...I..." Hestia tries to come up with good reason but couldn't come with one
"hoh, you got me curious." he said with smile, "let's visit it together sometime."
"!" now Hestia mind was conflicted, on one hand, it's a date! on other had, it's like having a date in brothel!
"oh, by the way, Hestia. do you have a way to hide this thing off my back?" Hohenheim points at his back
"ah!" Hestia forgot her inner battle and focused on what he said, "you are right!..but I don't know how..." Hestia frowns cutely and think for a bit, "oh! I know! hephy maybe knows! yes she has level 5 under her, she gotta knows!"
"hephy?" Hohenheim wondered
"hephaestus!"
"oh! god of smith!" he recognized him from the mythology he read in his bordrem
"god?" Hestia was confused, "it's Goddess. a she."
"huh?" now Hohenheim turned to be confused, 'so it isn't exactly as mythology goes... gotta take that in mind' he tool mental note, "then can I visit her with you?" he is curiouse how good is goddess of smith really is
"hmm.." Hestia thought for a bit, "of course! now I can show you off in front of her!"
"haha ..." the teen laughed dryly and the pair continued their breakfast in peace...
******
on the busiest smithy in the dungeon city, a lone redhead woman sitting on her office, she placed her hand on her right eye, or on the patch there while sighing, the last person that confessed to her freaked out while saying that eye...and he was her recent child too, so while their bond as goddess and child is still their, the budding feeling that had to each died immediately, still she didn't blamed him as she knows that her eye can change people's view on her, but that's put some bitterness in her heart thinking that she might not found anyone in her life....
(basically cucking welf lmao, sry kid nothing personal, but she is waifu, so you know the rules so do I~ say goodbye~)
soon, she heard a knock on her door, she said calmly, "what is it?"
the door opened and a average length dark skin beauty with curvy body and eye patch entered
"what is it, tsubaki?"
tsubaki smiles cheekily, "is there need for something to visit my favorite goddess?"
Hephaestus raised an eyebrow, and spoke, "what does she want?"
"hmm? who is she?" tsubaki pretend to be dumb
yet it did not fool the one-eyed redhead ,"most of time you stay in her smithy and try to make new junk, so barely anything can grab your attention other than drinking, the other thing is something you would be think will be amusing, and running an errand isn't something on that list, you usually send someone...like welf, to boy your errand boy, yet you came yourself,so you think the meeting her will be interesting and even funny to which, and that's usually involved another gods, and Gods that I'm good terms are few, and the most involved is one in particular, so tell me... what Hestia wants?" she said after lengthy explanation
tsubaki gaped at her goddess and throw a fit of laughter, "hahahahaha! as expected of goddess,you are incredibly sharp!, well I'm indeed here to watch this event because I think it will be entertaining!, you hear that! Hestia-sama!" near the door was two individuals standing, the second door opened because it's double door, and their appeared!
"Hephy! I came to visit you~" Hestia gentle voice was heard as she entered Hephaestus office, fellowed by blonde teen, "see! Hephy! I got my first child! isn't he handsome!" she hugs the teen hand with her big chest
"he indeed is!" tsubaki next to them nodded in appreciation, from his physique, she can conclude he is quite muscular and toned, while she likes buffer men more, she has to say that the blond teen is an eye candy to her
"oh?" Hephaestus looked at them with interest and smiled genuinely, despite that Hestia is troublemaker and quite the drunkey, she considered her hear best friend, so she is happy that that she found a child after looking for so long, "pleasure to meet you, the name is Hephaestus." she stands up and approach them to shake his hand with a smile
"hohe-kun! introduce yourself, and do what you did to me to her!" she said with smug smile
"are you sure, Hestia?" he asked
"yeah, yeah! it would be funny!" she said with a smirk
Hohenheim smiled wryly and held Hephaestus hand, and get down on his knees and said, "pleasure all mine, Hephaestus-sama, my name is Van Hohenheim, I finally got to meet the goddess of Smith." she said with a smile and kissed her hand back
"?!" "oh!!" both hephaestus and tsubaki reacts, the earlier had a face like her hair, the latter smiled wildly, "I know this would be entertaining!"
"w-what the meaning of this H-Hestia?!" Hephaestus said with a red face while pulling her hand quickly
"hehehe! I know you would flustered! but don't worry! it's friendly act out of respect in hohe-kun hometown." Hestia explained
"Is that right?" Hephaestus asked
"yes." the teen nodded, only then Hephaestus relaxed and looked at Hestia glaring, "you only come to tease me, is that it?"
"I'm sorry for doing such act without Hephaestus-sama consent." Hohenheim apologized, "but even if goddess didn't tell me, I would do it anyway." he said with a smile
"huh, why?" she can't think of a reason
"hmm? obliviously to admire Hephaestus-sama's beauty and dedication." he says this as matter of fact
"b-beauty?" the redhead Goddess stuttered
"you are on fire! hohe-chan!" tsubaki from side Cheered, she didn't think she would see her goddess this flustered
"indeed." Hohenheim smiled, he looked around and saw sword that the Hephaestus made recently, "when I entered this office, I know I would entering a feast to the eye." he touched the sword handle, "did Hephaestus-sama make this sword recently?"
the redhead nodded and said with a pride smile, "that's my latest masterpiece, why do you ask? and can you elaborate what you previously meant?"
he touched the hilt and activated his skill, "nature's prespective." and in that moment, the time stop! suddenly the surroundings changed! Hephaestus office has changed and what appears is the said woman standing next to incredibly high temperature fire holding in her hand an unknown ore to him,
he watched as she slowly transforms that piece of metal, hammering it with incredible accuracy, as if every hit by the hammer is meant to be in exact location, with exact force and speed, he saw as the melting ore gradually being mold, and beautifully became the way it as now, yet he feels at lacked something, and before long he knows what's missing, as the redhead body had a divine aura around it and said aura was poured into the sword changing it's essential to be divine, this kind 9f energy is nothing he felt before, and made him incredibly small, even in his prime, this kind of energy can crush him like an ant!
soon the images disappeared and time continue to move as he wake up from his history diving, he sighed in admiration, he can try mimic this weapon, but it's will incredibly costy, especially with that kind of ore, he thinks that even buying the ore normally would be cheaper, and even with that, his mimicry can hold at maximum 10% of the sword, WITHOUT the divine aspect being involved
"all the weapons around here, especially this one, are fascinatingly and beautifully created, with care and passion. as if them being alive and goddess is their mother." he said sincerely
Hephaestus was touched by his words, she looked around under her disk, and put another katana that was perfectly identical to the previous one, "can you tell me about this one?" she asked with hope
"may I?" he asked and she nodded, as he removed the sheath, and saw it's the blade, he touch it gently and sighed, "this one is purely made of Hephaestus-sama blacksmithing skill, without and divinity, yet I don't see it will be inferior to the divine one." Hephaestus smiled gently as she nodded, "indeed, I took this as a challenge to myself, because blacksmith sees me as the apex,I gotta earned that place, even without my divinity, I presented this pair to everyone I knew, yet no one could tell a difference...yet you could..." she said sparking eye
Hohenheim smiled wryly, 'I couldn't really tell without my skill...but considering that skills is part of someone soul, I can take the credit for this.' he put the katana inside it's sheath and present back to her, yet the redhead shook her head, "I promised myself whoever find the different would have the one without my divinity, as having the later would be unfair advantage."
"are you sure?" he asked while holding the katana
"accept it hohe-kun! and hephy! can you put my divinity in it?!" the shameless Hestia butts in and said hopefully
"yes I'm sure." she smiled, "and I can add your goddess divinity in it, in order to it to grow with you." normally she would be incredibly annoying from Hestia request, but because of her good mood, she agreed
"well, I'll accept your gift. but I'll take it as a favor, if you want anything from me which doesn't contradict my principals, I'll do it gladly!" Hohenheim said with bright smile
"hephy! before we forget! tell me the way to hide the status!" Hestia barely remembers, as she too much in joy, 'hohe-kun got us a weapon! I won't need to beg later! way to go hohe-kun!'
"hmm? of course." she didn't mind as it trivial request
"yay!" Hestia jumped in joy and to hug the redhead, but the latter skillfully dodged..or that what she thought as she would tripped over if a hand didn't caught her before falling, Hohenheim caught the Goddess' hand and pulled her over holding her mature waist, "are you alright, Hephaestus-sama?" he asked with a smile
the blacksmith didn't have a man's touch for a long time, this was clear, as her face become red as her hair, "I-I'm F-Fine! thank you.. but can you let me go... please?" she said while with red face
Hohenheim chuckle,'woman of this world are too adorable.' he let her go gently, Hestia was on the floor so she didn't see what happened or she would be dumbstruck
Hephaestus calmed down and said, "please now, follow me so I can add the divinity to the katana." the pair nodded the follow the redhead Goddess
tsubaki remains and said to herself, "fufufu, a lot of teasing material has come up! and hohe-chan~ you incredibly mature for your age~ I can't wait to hug you~" she licks her lips like a hungry cougar (she is a cougar lmao her age is 38)....
