Chapter 78 Ganesha's Familia Interrogates?! The Terrified Commander Shakti!
Rias, Mai, and Asia left Hephaestus's weapon shop.
Chun Kebrand, who was helping his master god complete his work, also went to the workshop to get his own things.
"Lady Hephaestus, I have a gathering with the blacksmiths next."
Chun said with anticipation
"They told me they'd crafted something interesting using magic stones, and I'd like to go see it. Is that alright?"
"Of course you can. You've worked hard today. Also, remember not to go home too late. Those blacksmiths love to drink, and you can't handle drinking with them all night."
"No problem! By the way, how did Lady Hephaestus know?"
“I ordered mithril materials from them a while ago, but they didn’t arrive the next day. When I went to the site, they were all lying around in the workshop, and there was a strong smell of alcohol everywhere.”
"Haha, the blacksmiths are indeed very generous."
After saying all this, Chun bid farewell to everyone and left the weapon shop.
Watching her clan leader's figure disappear, Hephaestus spoke in an expectant tone.
"Tsubaki has been forging weapons for many years, and as a blacksmith, she will go to the dungeon to test the weapons she has made. This has brought her strength directly to LV5, so she can be said to have a promising future."
and so……
Hephaestus looked at Baili
"Partnering with us will definitely not be a loss, Mr. Baili."
"I share the same thought, and I will ask Miss Hephaestus for help again next time."
"You're very welcome. Please feel free to contact me with any requests related to weapons."
Hephaestus, with a beaming smile, was clearly very happy.
Hestia frowned at her performance.
Hephaestus is a very serious, reasonable, and caring person.
That's why she always maintains a certain social distance from people she doesn't know well.
So the current situation is very strange...
Why did Hephaestus offer Baili a discount on his first commission?
Why did Hephaestus apply for further cooperation?
She had never seen anything like this before.
If it were for money, they wouldn't only accept 100,000 fali.
Even with a discount, Hestia was originally estimated to cost at least one million.
The result was only one-tenth of the price...
"Hephaestus, are you sure you're not sick?"
"I've answered this question before, haven't I? I'm doing very well right now."
"Hmm...is that so?"
"of course."
After speaking, Hephaestus looked at Baili.
No way……
Hestia suddenly thought of something.
She decided to give it a test...
So Hestia went to Baili's side and took his left hand.
"Hey, Mr. Baili, since we have nothing else to do, could you please do me a favor? Please!"
"tell me the story."
"Is such that……"
Hestia paused, glancing at her friend out of the corner of her eye.
Wow! !
Hestia felt Hephaestus staring intently at her.
It looks like it's going to eat itself up!
Could it be that my guess was correct?
Hephaestus against Baili...
Does she have other feelings?
Neither the principal nor the agent.
But...
Aspirations?
Love?
like?
Or something else?
Anyway, I definitely have feelings for him.
They've only known each other for a short time, so what exactly happened between them?
This love at first sight gave Hestia a strong shock.
She never imagined her friend would have these feelings.
There shouldn't be any in the Nether...
"What do you need? I don't have work this afternoon, so I can come and help you."
Hephaestus said with a forced smile.
Seeing this, Hestia released Baili's left hand, which she had been holding.
"It's just moving, moving. Because I was a tour guide for Mr. Baili and his group before, I received a magic stone as payment."
After the guild exchanged the currency, Hestia received one million!
That's right!
It's one million!
That magic stone is that valuable!
Having received the money, Hestia decided to move.
After all, if we want to recruit members in the future, we need a good base.
Otherwise, if others see that the headquarters is so poor, they certainly won't join the clan.
"If you're moving, I can help you move some things."
Hephaestus maintained her smile.
After hearing this, Baili, who had nothing to do while the girls went to the dungeon, also decided to do his part.
"Great"
Hestia adjusted her mood.
She didn't dwell on her friend Hephaestus's thoughts about Baili.
"Then I'll leave it to you two!"
Hestia bowed and then strode towards her old stronghold.
The stronghold of the Hestia Familia, a hidden room in a church.
Because it is located underground, there is no natural light at all.
Hestia, who was leading the way, reminded him...
Watch your step, don't fall!
Having lived there for a while, Hestia knew the way well and arrived at the room door ahead of time, turning on the magic stone lamps inside and outside.
This lighting device was invented by humans using magic stone technology.
This situation is exactly as Baili previously stated: the technology tree in the world of DanMachi has gone astray.
But from another perspective, it's just that the electricity of modern society has been replaced with magic, so there's really no difference.
"Alright, alright, come in."
The petite goddess peeked halfway out from the stronghold, beckoning Baili and Hephaestus to come inside.
After being invited, the two people standing on the steps arrived at Hestia's stronghold.
There was little furniture inside.
It only contains the most basic things.
Tables, benches, and bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen.
Surprisingly, it also includes a bathroom and a washroom.
As the saying goes, "Though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs," and this is exactly what it means.
However, underground spaces always give people a sense of oppression.
"What would you two like to drink?"
"what do you have?"
Baili looked at the base's kitchen, which could only be described as completely empty.
"Hehe, I have some mead here."
Hestia happily ran to the kitchen, opened the lower cabinet, and took out the mead.
