Chapter 13 - Syr Flova. (Patreon)

After finishing inside Hephaestus once more, she stayed lying on top of me for a while. I held her tightly, and we remained in silence, simply enjoying the warmth of our bodies. This is nice.

My cock, which had been inside her, slipped out of her pussy, and my semen began to slowly spill out of her.

When it slipped free, Hephaestus let out a soft moan.

“MmM~~”

“You’re so cute, Hephaestus,” I said, gently stroking her hair.

Hephaestus lifted her head and looked at me with a smile on her face. “I love it when you say things like that. It really makes me feel cute.” Her expression shifted slightly. Why does she look a bit sad?

Is it because of the scar on her face?

Honestly, I don’t even notice her scar anymore—it’s as if it doesn’t exist.

She’s so beautiful that it doesn’t affect her beauty at all.

“But you are cute. The cutest woman in the world. Don’t you believe me?” I asked. Hephaestus looked away and sighed before resting her head on my chest again. “Don’t you believe me?” I asked once more.

After a few seconds, she finally answered. “I believe that you think I’m cute, but I’ll never be the cutest woman in the world. You’re exaggerating a bit.”

Hearing her words made me feel deeply uncomfortable.

How can she be so hard on herself over a small scar? Doesn’t she see how beautiful she is? I’m sure that if she walked around without her eyepatch, people wouldn’t even care.

I held Hephaestus’s head and gently forced her to look me in the eyes. Staring at her seriously, I said, “I’m not lying. You are the cutest woman in the world. The other goddesses don’t even come close to you.”

“Are you saying I’m more beautiful than Freya and Hestia?”

“Yes, exactly. To me, you are the most beautiful Goddess that has ever existed. I’ve never looked at them the way I’ve looked at you—not even before we started dating. I’ve always thought you were the most beautiful among them all.”

It’s not a lie.

This guy is completely in love—borderline obsessed with his wife, even if he doesn’t show it that much.

It’s actually a little scary.

“…” Hearing my words, Hephaestus’s face turned slightly red. “Don’t say things like that. It’s embarrassing.”

“Well, you were doubting me, so I had to make it clear that you’re the most beautiful woman in the world.” I let out a warm laugh, and Hephaestus laughed along with me. After that, we stayed silent for a while longer.

Eventually, we decided to get up.

I even thought about continuing, but Hephaestus seemed tired.

I helped Hephaestus wash herself, and then she helped me wash as well.

When we left the bathroom, we got dressed as quickly as possible and lay down on the bed to wait for dinner time. Hephaestus decided to take a nap, while I chose to read a book.

It wasn’t a book I recognized.

It was a collection of hero tales.

Why is there a book like this here?

Well, it doesn’t matter.

As soon as I started reading, I came to the conclusion that the writing style of authors in this world is quite questionable. I couldn’t even get past twenty pages before giving up and falling asleep beside Hephaestus.

####

When I woke up, it was already dark outside. Hephaestus was still sleeping beside me, and I decided not to wake her since she looked tired. It’s surprising that she got so exhausted from just that.

We didn’t even have that much fun.

I got up and washed my face.

Now I’m completely awake—I need to find something to do. “Ah, right, we still haven’t had dinner.”

I left the room and went downstairs in search of food. When I reached the kitchen, I spoke with some members of the Familia who usually handled the meals. “Is there still food left to serve?” I asked.

The woman, clearly surprised by my presence, replied, “Eryk!? Ah, unfortunately the food is already gone, but I can prepare something right now if you’d like. It’s not too late yet, so it’s fine.”

She looked quite tired, so I smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll go eat out. Get some rest.”

“It’s really fine, I can cook something for you! What would you like? Meat? Pasta? You can choose. Ah! The Goddess hasn’t eaten yet either, right? I can prepare something for both of you!”

“It’s okay, go rest.” Saying that, I raised my hand in farewell, turned my back, and walked away.

The woman looked a bit uneasy. I could hear her sigh.

She seemed truly exhausted.

I then left the main mansion of the Hephaestus Familia in search of a place to eat. I’m really hungry, so I want something good—preferably something with lots of meat.

I love meat.

That’s right, I still haven’t gone to the Hostess of Fertility. Is Freya there? I wonder if, in this “version” of the world, Freya still keeps her secrets. I don’t have any information about that in this body’s memories.

Maybe he never found out.

Surprising.

So I decided to head to the Hostess of Fertility. As I approached the restaurant, many adventurers looked surprised by my presence—especially since I was alone. I usually go to places like this together with Hephaestus.

We’re together 90% of the time.

I smiled bitterly and entered the restaurant.

As soon as I stepped inside, I drew quite a bit of attention due to my status and appearance. I noticed the eyes of some women around me lighting up.

It didn’t take long for one of the waitresses to notice me and rush over.

“God Eryk! Would you like to take a seat? I’ll take you to an empty table.” To my surprise, it was Syr Flova who appeared. Her cheeks were noticeably flushed, which caught my attention.

I stared at her for a few seconds and analyzed her.

I can’t tell who this person really is. I don’t know if she’s Freya or not.

“God Eryk?”

“Ah, sorry, I got distracted by something.”

“It’s alright. So, would you like to sit down?”

“I want food to take home. Food for me and for Hephaestus. Can I sit while I wait?”

“Ah, of course. Let me take your first order.” Syr Flova’s cheerful expression suddenly changed.

Why do you look irritated about something?
