Chapter 4

I watched Hestia's eyes light up as she took in the sights of my world. The bustling city below, with its towering skyscrapers and twinkling lights, seemed to captivate her. She turned to me, her face beaming with excitement.

"David-Kun, this place is incredible!" Hestia exclaimed, her hands clasped together in front of her. "I've never seen anything like it. What are all those tall buildings? And the lights - they're so bright and numerous!"

I couldn't help but smile at her wonder. "Those are called skyscrapers, Kami-Sama. They're massive buildings where people live and work. And the lights you see are from the city itself - it's always lit up, even at night."

Hestia's eyes grew wide as she processed my explanation. "People live in those tall structures?" She leaned forward, peering down at the streets below. "And there are so many people! Where are they all going?"

"Well, this is a bustling city, Kami-Sama," I said, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. "People are always on the move, heading to their jobs, running errands, or just going about their daily lives."

Hestia nodded, her gaze fixed on the activity below. "It's so different from Orario. There, the streets are busy, but not like this. Everything seems so... fast-paced."

I chuckled, understanding her perspective. "That's a good way to describe it. Life in the city can be quite hectic, but there's also a certain energy to it. It's always changing, always moving forward."

I guided Hestia into my modest apartment, watching as her eyes darted around, taking in every new sight and sound. She seemed both amazed and overwhelmed by the unfamiliar surroundings.

"David-kun, what is that?" Hestia asked, pointing at the large black rectangle sitting on the TV stand.

"Ah, that's a television, Kami-Sama," I explained, gesturing towards the device. "It's a way for us to watch moving pictures with sound."

Hestia's brow furrowed as she considered my words. "Moving pictures with sound?" she repeated, her curiosity piqued.

I nodded and stepped over to the TV, picking up the remote. "Here, let me show you." I pressed the power button, and the screen flickered to life, casting a warm glow across the room.

Hestia's eyes went wide as images and voices began to emanate from the television. She inched closer, studying the screen intently. "It's like a play, but trapped inside this box?" she asked, her voice laced with wonder.

I chuckled at her apt description. "In a way, yes. The TV allows us to see and hear stories and events happening in other places, even if they're far away."

Hestia's gaze remained fixed on the screen, mesmerized by the moving images. "This is truly remarkable," she breathed. "In Orario, we have plays and storytelling, but nothing quite like this."

I watched Hestia settle onto the couch, a look of pure bliss spreading across her face. She sank into the cushions, letting out a content sigh.

"This is amazing, David-kun!" she exclaimed, running her hands over the soft fabric. "The seats in the church are so hard and uncomfortable, but this... this is heavenly!"

I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. "I'm glad you're enjoying it, Kami-sama. It's one of the few luxuries I allow myself in this little place."

Hestia beamed up at me, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Well, you certainly have good taste. I could sit here all day!"

I chuckled as Hestia continued her eager exploration of my modest apartment. She darted from room to room, her eyes wide with wonder, touching and examining everything in sight.

"David-kun, is this your room?" she asked, peering into the small bedroom at the end of the hall.

"Yes, Kami-sama, this is where I sleep," I replied, stepping up beside her. "It's not much, but it's home."

Hestia stepped inside, her fingers tracing the simple wooden furniture and the few personal items scattered about. "It's cozy," she said, a soft smile on her lips. "Much smaller than the rooms in the church, but there's a warmth to it."

I smiled as Hestia continued her exploration, her curiosity piqued by every new discovery. She paused in front of the air conditioner, her head tilting to the side.

"David-kun, what is this?" she asked, running her fingers along the cool metal casing.

"Ah, that's an air conditioner, Kami-sama," I explained, stepping over to her side. "It's a device that helps cool the air in a room."

Hestia's eyes widened as I reached out and turned the unit on. A gentle hum filled the air, and a gentle breeze began to waft across the room.

"Cool air?" Hestia exclaimed, her face lighting up with delight. She leaned in, letting the stream of air caress her face. "Oh, how wonderful!"

A giggle escaped her lips as she felt the refreshing coolness. "This would be so convenient on those hot summer days in Orario," she mused. "Sometimes I feel like I'm being cooked alive!"

I couldn't help but chuckle at her exuberant reaction. "Yes, the air conditioning is a real lifesaver, especially during the warmer months. It makes the heat much more bearable."

Hestia nodded enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with wonder. "I can see why you humans would find this so useful," she said, turning to face me. "Back home, we just have to endure the heat. But this..." She gestured towards the air conditioner. "This is ingenious!"

I watched as Hestia continued to bask in the soothing coolness, a content smile spreading across her face. It was a simple pleasure, but seeing her delight in the small wonders of my world filled me with a sense of pride and joy.

I watched as Hestia's gaze fell upon the framed photograph on my desk. She reached out and gently picked it up, studying the image with a curious tilt of her head.

"David-kun, is this your family?" she asked, her voice soft and full of wonder.

I stepped closer, standing beside her as I looked down at the picture. "Yes, Kami-sama, that's my family," I replied, a nostalgic smile tugging at my lips.

The photograph showed my parents and my younger sister, all of us gathered by the river in our countryside hometown. We were smiling brightly, basking in the warmth of the summer sun.

"Your family looks so happy," Hestia observed, tracing the edges of the frame with her fingertips. "Where are they now?"

My smile faltered slightly as I thought of my family back home. "They still live in the countryside," I explained, gesturing towards the picture. "This was taken near our home by the river."

Hestia's brow furrowed as she processed my words. "And you live here, in the city, all by yourself?"

I nodded, feeling a pang of longing in my chest. "Yes, Kami-sama. I left the countryside to come to the city, to try and make a better life for myself. But my family is still back home."

Hestia's eyes softened with understanding, and she reached out to gently squeeze my arm. "I see. It must be difficult, being so far from your loved ones."

I nodded, my gaze drifting back to the photograph. "It is, sometimes. But I know they're doing well, and that brings me comfort." I paused, offering Hestia a reassuring smile. "Besides, with you here, Kami-sama, I don't feel quite so alone."

Hestia's eyes softened, and she looked up at me with a gentle smile. "David-kun, are you sure it's alright for me to be staying here?" she asked, her voice laced with concern. "I don't want to impose on you or your home."

I placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Of course, Kami-sama. I can't have you living in that abandoned church, especially when I have this place to offer." I gestured around the small apartment. "It may not be much, but it's warm, dry, and comfortable. And I'd be honored to have you here."

Hestia's face lit up with joy, and before I could react, she had thrown her arms around me in a tight embrace. "Oh, David-kun, thank you!" she exclaimed, her voice muffled against my chest. "You're so kind and thoughtful. I feel so lucky to have you as my familia member."

I chuckled and gently returned the hug, relishing the warmth of her small frame. "The pleasure is all mine, Kami-sama. I'm just glad I can provide a comfortable place for you to stay."

Hestia pulled back, her bright blue eyes shining with happiness. "Please, David-kun, call me Hestia," she said, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "I know you're used to addressing me as 'Kami-sama,' but I'd like us to be on more friendly terms."

I nodded, returning her smile. "Alright, Hestia. I'll do my best to remember that."

Hestia clapped her hands together excitedly. "Wonderful!"

I chuckled as Hestia's stomach let out a soft rumble, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Sounds like someone's getting a little hungry," I said, offering her a warm smile.

"Oh dear, how embarrassing," Hestia murmured, her hands instinctively moving to cover her belly. "I suppose all this excitement has worked up an appetite."

"Well, I can't have our guest going hungry, can we?" I replied, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Why don't we head out and get you something to eat? There's a great little diner just down the street that I think you'll love."

Hestia's face lit up with excitement, her earlier embarrassment forgotten. "Really, David-kun? That would be wonderful!" She bounced on the balls of her feet, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

I chuckled at her infectious enthusiasm. "Then it's settled. Let's go fill that rumbling stomach of yours." I gestured towards the door, waiting for Hestia to join me.

Hestia practically skipped to my side, her excitement palpable. "I can't wait to try your world's delicacies," she said, her gaze filled with wonder.

I stopped Hestia before she could step out the door. "Hold on, Hestia. I can't have you going out in that outfit."

Hestia looked down at her usual white dress, her brow furrowed in confusion. "What's wrong with my clothes, David-kun?"

I chuckled nervously. "Well, you see, your outfit is a bit... revealing, by the standards of my world. People might think you're, uh, cosplaying or something."

Hestia's eyes widened as she processed my words. "Cosplaying?" She glanced down at herself again, tugging self-consciously at the hem of her dress. "I don't understand. Is there something wrong with how I look?"

I quickly raised my hands in a placating gesture. "No, no, not at all! You look absolutely lovely, Hestia. It's just that, well, in this world, people tend to be a bit more... conservative with their clothing choices."

Hestia nodded slowly, her lips pursed in thought. "I see. Well, if that's the case, I suppose I should change into something more appropriate." She looked up at me with a small smile. "Do you have any suggestions, David-kun?"

I couldn't help but chuckle as I thought of the perfect solution. "As a matter of fact, I do." I gestured for Hestia to follow me as I headed towards my bedroom.

As I opened the closet, Hestia peered inside with curious eyes. "Your sister's clothes?" she asked, her fingers gently tracing the fabric of a soft, floral-patterned blouse.

"That's right," I replied, shuffling through the hangers. "Nothing too revealing, I promise." I flashed Hestia a reassuring smile as I pulled out a simple, knee-length sundress in a soft blue hue. "How about this? I think it'll suit you nicely."

Hestia's eyes lit up as she took the dress from my hands, holding it up to herself and twirling experimentally. "Oh, David-kun, this is lovely!" she exclaimed, her face beaming with delight. "The fabric is so soft and comfortable. And the color is simply divine."

I chuckled, relieved to see Hestia's enthusiasm. "I'm glad you like it. Why don't you go try it on, and we'll see how it looks?"

Hestia nodded eagerly, scurrying off to the bathroom to change. As I watched her go, I turned to the readers with a sheepish grin.

"Now, I know what you might be thinking - why do I have my sister's clothes in my apartment?" I shrugged, a playful glint in my eye. "She visits sometimes and sleepover. So it's not like we're up to anything sus-" I paused, my cheeks flushing slightly. "Uh, I mean, it's completely innocent, I assure you!"

After a few minutes, Hestia emerged, a radiant smile on her face. The soft blue dress accentuated her delicate features, and the hem fell just above her knees, providing a modest yet flattering fit.

"David-kun, how do I look?" she asked, twirling around to give me a full view.

I felt my breath catch in my throat as I took in the sight of her. "Hestia, you look absolutely beautiful," I breathed, a warm smile spreading across my face. "The dress suits you perfectly."

Hestia's cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink, and she ducked her head shyly. "You really think so?" she asked, her voice soft and uncertain.

I nodded emphatically. "Truly, you're the cutest thing I've ever seen," I said, my heart swelling with affection. "This world is lucky to have you in it."

Hestia's blush deepened, and she let out a flustered giggle. "Oh, David-kun, you're making me blush!" She playfully swatted my arm, her eyes sparkling with mirth.

Chuckling, I offered her my arm. "Shall we be off, my lady?" I asked, a playful glint in my eye.

Hestia eagerly looped her arm through mine, her excitement palpable. "Yes, let's go!" she exclaimed, practically bouncing with anticipation.

As we made our way towards the door, I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and contentment. With Hestia by my side, even the most mundane tasks felt like an adventure.

...

As Hestia and I stepped out of the apartment building, the bustling city streets of Earth came alive before us. Hestia's eyes widened with wonder, taking in the sights and sounds that were so foreign to her divine realm.

"David-kun, what are those?" Hestia asked, pointing to the vehicles zipping by on the road. "They move without horses, yet they make such a strange noise!"

I chuckled, guiding Hestia to the sidewalk as we continued our stroll. "Those are called cars, Hestia. They're a kind of horseless carriage that people use to get around the city quickly."

Hestia's brow furrowed in fascination. "Horseless carriages? How ingenious!" she exclaimed, her gaze following the cars as they whizzed past. "And the people inside, they control these carriages with ease?"

"That's right," I explained. "The drivers operate the cars using pedals and a steering wheel. It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's a very efficient way to travel."

As we walked, Hestia's attention was drawn to the towering skyscrapers that dotted the skyline. "David-kun, look at those magnificent structures!" she breathed, craning her neck to take in their full height. "They look similar to the Tower of Babel. How do the people live within them?"

I smiled, gesturing to the buildings. "Those are apartments and offices, Hestia. They're multi-story buildings where people live and work."

Hestia's eyes widened in awe. "Truly, your world is full of wonders," she murmured, her gaze sweeping over the bustling city streets. "The people here, they seem similar to those in Orario, yet also quite different."

I nodded, guiding Hestia around a group of pedestrians. "That's right. Humans are the predominant race in my world, unlike in Orario where you have Elves, Dwarves, and Beastmen as well."

Hestia's brow furrowed as she considered my words. "And what of the Pallums? Surely your world must have them too, even if you call them by a different name."

I chuckled, shaking my head. "Actually, Hestia, the closest thing we have to Pallums in my world are called 'hobbits' in fictional stories. But they're not real, just characters in books and movies."

Hestia hummed thoughtfully, her gaze once again sweeping over the city around us. "Fascinating. Your world is truly unlike anything I've ever experienced. I can't wait to learn more, David-kun."

As we continued our stroll, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and wonder at the prospect of introducing Hestia to the many marvels of Earth. With her by my side, I knew that our adventure was only just beginning.

I led Hestia into the family diner, the smells of sizzling burgers and crisp fries wafting through the air. She gazed around, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Is this where we will be eating, David-kun?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

"Yes, Hestia," I replied with a smile. "This is a diner, a place where people come to enjoy hearty meals."

Hestia nodded, her expression thoughtful. "It reminds me a bit of the Hostess of Fertility back in Orario. Though the atmosphere seems a bit more...casual."

Before I could respond, a friendly-looking server approached us. "Welcome to Mel's Diner! How many in your party today?"

"Just the two of us," I answered.

"Wonderful, right this way," the server said, gesturing for us to follow. They led us to a cozy booth near the back of the diner, handing us each a laminated menu. "Your server will be right with you. Enjoy your meal!"

Hestia slid into the booth, her eyes scanning the menu with fascination. "This is quite different from the fare we have in Orario. What would you recommend, David-kun?"

I perused the menu, already familiar with the diner's classic offerings. "Well, the burgers here are quite delicious. And you simply must try the fries - they're crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside."

Hestia's brow furrowed in concentration. "Burgers and fries, you say? I'm intrigued. This will be a new culinary experience for me."

Just then, a cheerful-looking server approached our table, pad and pen in hand. "Hi there, my name's Lily and I'll be taking care of you today. What can I get started for you?"

I glanced at Hestia, silently urging her to take the lead. She straightened her shoulders and gave the server a bright smile.

"Hello, Lily. I would like to try one of these 'burgers' you serve, as well as an order of these 'fries' that David-kun has recommended. And for a beverage, perhaps you could suggest something suitable for a goddess such as myself?"

Lily blinked, momentarily taken aback by Hestia's formal tone, but quickly recovered. "Well, a burger and fries sounds like an excellent choice! And for a drink, I'd recommend one of our classic milkshakes - they're thick, creamy, and oh-so-delicious."

Hestia's eyes lit up. "A milkshake, you say? That sounds most intriguing. I shall have one of those as well, then."

"Wonderful!" Lily chirped, jotting down the order. "I'll have that right out for you." She turned to me with a questioning look. "And for you, sir?"

I couldn't help but chuckle at Hestia's enthusiasm. "I'll have the same, please. A burger, fries, and a milkshake."

"You got it!" Lily said with a wink, hurrying off to place our order.

Hestia leaned in, her eyes shining with anticipation. "This is most exciting, David-kun. I can't wait to try the delicacies of your world."

Our food soon arrived, and I watched with amusement as Hestia's eyes widened in delight at the sight of the burger and fries placed before us. She leaned in, practically drooling, and exclaimed, "David-kun, is this truly the fabled 'burger' you spoke of?"

I chuckled, nodding. "That's right, Hestia. Go ahead, try it. I think you're going to love it."

Hestia didn't need any further encouragement. She picked up the burger with both hands, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Itadakimasu!" she declared before taking a large bite.

The moment the flavors hit her tongue, Hestia's expression shifted to one of pure bliss. Her eyes fluttered closed, and a soft moan of delight escaped her lips. "Ohh, David-kun, this is simply divine!" she gushed, her words muffled by the mouthful of burger. "The juicy meat, the melted cheese, the crisp vegetables - it's all so perfectly balanced!"

I grinned, watching as Hestia enthusiastically continued devouring the burger. "I'm glad you're enjoying it," I said, picking up my own burger and taking a bite.

Hestia paused mid-chew, her brow furrowing in concentration. "You must tell me, David-kun, what sorcery has gone into the creation of this marvelous dish? The flavors are so complex, yet so harmonious!"

I chuckled, reaching for a fry. "It's not sorcery, Hestia. It's just good old-fashioned cooking. The burger is made from ground beef, seasoned and grilled to perfection. The toppings like lettuce, tomato, and cheese just enhance the flavors."

Hestia nodded thoughtfully, her gaze shifting to the milkshake that sat before her. "And this 'milkshake' you mentioned, it looks quite intriguing as well." She picked up the glass, giving it an experimental sniff. "Hmm, it has a sweet, creamy aroma. I simply must try it."

Tentatively, Hestia took a sip of the milkshake, her eyes widening in surprise. "Ohh, David-kun, this is divine!" she exclaimed, her voice barely above a whisper. "The cold, thick, and creamy texture, the sweet, indulgent flavor - it's as if the gods themselves have blessed this drink!"

I watched, amused, as Hestia savored every sip of the milkshake, her expression one of pure bliss. It was clear that the simple pleasures of Earth were a revelation to the goddess, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in sharing this experience with her.

I pulled out my phone and snapped a quick picture of Hestia as she eagerly devoured the burger, her expression one of pure delight. The shutter sound caught her attention, and she paused mid-bite, her brow furrowing in confusion.

"David-kun, what is that you're holding?" she asked, her voice muffled by the mouthful of food.

I chuckled, holding up the phone for her to see. "This is called a smartphone, Hestia. It's a device that allows us to do all sorts of things - we can talk to people far away, play games, and even take pictures like the one I just took of you."

Hestia's eyes widened in wonder as she studied the phone in my hand. "A device that can take pictures?" she marveled, swallowing the last bite of her burger. "How truly remarkable! May I see the picture you've captured, David-kun?"

I nodded, tapping the screen to bring up the image. "Here, take a look. This is what you looked like just a moment ago, enjoying your burger."

Hestia leaned in, her face mere inches from the phone's screen, her eyes sparkling with fascination. "Incredible!" she breathed, reaching out to gently touch the screen. "The image is so lifelike, as if you've frozen a moment in time. And all with this small, magical device?"

"That's right," I replied, smiling at her wonder. "It's called a 'camera,' and it's one of the many wonders of the modern world. Would you like to try taking a picture yourself?"

Hestia nodded eagerly, her expression alight with excitement. "Yes, David-kun, I would be most honored to experience this 'camera' for myself!"

I handed her the phone, guiding her fingers to the appropriate buttons. "Okay, Hestia, just hold the phone up like this and press this button here. That will capture a picture of both of us."

Hestia's brow furrowed in concentration as she followed my instructions, raising the phone and carefully pressing the shutter button. The camera clicked, and she let out a delighted gasp. "Oh, David-kun, we are now immortalized in this tiny device!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with wonder.

I chuckled, leaning in closer to her. "That's right, Hestia. Why don't we take another one, a 'selfie' as it's called, so we can both be in the picture?"

Hestia nodded enthusiastically, scooting closer to me as I held the phone out, angling it to capture both of our faces. "Alright, Hestia, say 'cheese!'" I said, and we both grinned as the camera clicked, preserving this moment of discovery and shared wonder.

...

After finishing our delicious meal, Hestia and I headed back to my apartment. As we walked through the door, Hestia plopped down on the sofa, a contented sigh escaping her lips.

"That was absolutely wonderful, David-kun!" she exclaimed, leaning back and patting her belly. "I don't think I've ever tasted anything quite like those burgers and fries. And that milkshake - it was like a gift from the gods themselves!"

I chuckled, taking a seat next to her. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Hestia. The food here on Earth can be pretty amazing, even if it's not all as healthy as what you're probably used to in Orario."

I turned to Hestia, a smile on my face. "Hey, Hestia, would you like to take a bath? I can show you how it works."

Hestia's eyes lit up at the mention of a bath. "A bath? Oh, David-kun, that sounds wonderful! I haven't had a proper bath in ages, not since I was living in heaven." She bounced excitedly on the couch, her boobs jiggling slightly.

I chuckled and stood up, motioning for her to follow me. "Alright, come on, I'll show you how to use the bath."

I led Hestia into the bathroom, watching as her eyes darted around, taking in all the unfamiliar fixtures and devices. "Okay, so this is the bathtub," I explained, gesturing to the large porcelain tub. "You just turn these knobs here to adjust the water temperature and fill it up."

Hestia nodded, leaning in closer to inspect the taps. "Fascinating! And what are these other things?" she asked, pointing to the bottles of soap and shampoo.

"Those are for washing," I said, picking up the bottles. "This one is body wash, and this one is shampoo for your hair. They'll help you get nice and clean."

Hestia's face lit up with delight. "Wonderful! I can't wait to try them out." She began to undress, her fingers working deftly at the ribbons and buttons of her dress.

I quickly exited the bathroom to let Hestia bathe, my cheeks flushing with heat as I caught a glimpse of her slender figure. "Damn," I muttered under my breath, the image of her voluptuous curves searing itself into my mind.

After a few minutes, Hestia emerged from the bathroom, wearing the clothes I had left for her. A content smile spread across her face as she approached me.

"David-kun, that bath was amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight. "The hot water was so soothing, and the soap and shampoo made me feel clean and refreshed. My hair is as soft as a cloud!"

I chuckled, relieved to see her so happy. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Hestia. Baths can be quite relaxing, especially after a long day."

Hestia nodded enthusiastically, her boobs bouncing slightly with the movement. "Indeed! I haven't felt this rejuvenated in ages. Thank you for sharing this wonderful Earth custom with me."

I saw Hestia's damp hair and gestured for her to sit on the sofa. "Here, let me help you with that," I said, grabbing the hairdryer from the bathroom.

Hestia settled onto the couch, looking up at me with wide, curious eyes. "What is this contraption, David-kun?" she asked, eyeing the hairdryer in my hand.

"It's a hairdryer," I explained, plugging it into the wall. "It uses warm air to quickly dry your hair." I turned it on, the gentle hum filling the room.

Hestia's face lit up with wonder as I began gently running the dryer through her long, dark locks. "Amazing!" she exclaimed, watching the strands flutter and dance in the warm breeze. "Such a convenient device! I've never seen anything like it in Orario."

I chuckled, carefully working the dryer to ensure every strand was thoroughly dried. "Yeah, we've got all sorts of nifty gadgets and appliances on Earth that can make life a little easier."

Hestia beamed, her eyes shining with delight. "I'm so grateful you're sharing these wonders with me, David-kun. Everything here is just... magical."

Seeing the pure joy on her face filled me with a warm sense of pride. I was happy to be the one introducing Hestia to the marvels of the modern world.

I cleared my throat and gestured to the second room. "Well, Hestia, I was just about to prepare the other room for you to sleep in."

Hestia's eyes widened, and she looked up at me with a hopeful expression. "Actually, David-kun, would it be alright if... we slept in the same room?" She clasped her hands together, a shy smile on her face. "I've grown quite fond of your company, and I would feel safer and more comfortable with you nearby."

I felt my cheeks flush, but I tried to maintain a casual demeanor. "O-oh, I suppose that would be fine," I said, scratching the back of my neck. "If that's what you'd prefer."

Hestia's face lit up with delight. "Wonderful!" She grabbed my hand and practically dragged me into the bedroom, her boundless energy on full display.

Once inside, Hestia plopped down on the bed, patting the spot next to her. "Come, David-kun, let's get comfortable!"

I chuckled and sat down beside her, trying to ignore the way my heart was pounding in my chest. Hestia immediately snuggled up to me, wrapping her arms around my waist and resting her head on my shoulder.

"Thank you for everything today, David-kun," she murmured, her voice soft and sincere. "You've shown me so many amazing things, and I feel so at home here with you."

I tentatively placed my arm around her, marveling at how perfectly she fit against me. "I'm glad you're enjoying your time here, Hestia. I've had a lot of fun sharing these experiences with you."

Hestia sighed contentedly, her eyes fluttering closed. "I feel so safe and warm with you," she whispered. "I could stay like this forever."

I smiled, gently stroking her soft, damp hair. Watching Hestia slowly drift off to sleep, her expression peaceful and serene, filled me with a sense of wonder and affection.

"Thank you, David-kun," Hestia murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "For everything."

As her breathing slowed and her grip on me relaxed, I knew that I would cherish this moment for a long time to come. Holding the beautiful goddess in my arms, feeling the warmth of her body and the gentle rise and fall of her chest, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude and wonder.

I brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, marveling at her delicate features. "Sweet dreams, Hestia," I whispered, pressing a featherlight kiss to her forehead before allowing myself to be lulled to sleep by the soothing rhythm of her breathing.
