...
"Levi, congratulations on successfully reaching Lv.4."
Hestia gently hugged her lover from behind, her voice filled with deep affection and attachment.
"For your Development Ability this time, are you planning to choose 'Spirit Healing'?"
Levi, shirtless and revealing a perfect, marble-like physique, nodded.
"If I'm not mistaken, maintaining the Heroic Spirits will constantly consume my magic power. And even if my judgment is wrong, a Development Ability that continuously recovers Mind provides a decent safety net."
"Alright, I'll do as you say."
Hestia gently ran her index finger, coated in divine blood, down Levi's spine.
The next moment, a brand-new entry appeared in the Development Ability section of his status panel—'Spirit Healing I'.
Levi sat up, held the twin-tailed goddess, and kissed her on the cheek. "Starting tomorrow, I'll likely be spending some time in the Dungeon."
He had informed her of his upcoming plans before, so Hestia wasn't surprised to hear her familia member's statement.
Resting her chin on one hand, she began to murmur thoughtfully, "Although I'd love to spend more time just the two of us, for the sake of our future, the familia really does need to grow. But if that's the case, our current headquarters might not be suitable anymore."
The headquarters Hephaestus had originally provided for Hestia was, to be precise, the basement of the Abandoned Church. With Levi and Hestia officially in a relationship, one bedroom had actually become vacant.
However, the two bedrooms were right next to each other, and the soundproofing was rather poor.
Even the slightest noise would disturb the person on the other side.
It was very unsuitable for certain 'nighttime' activities.
Seeing his goddess's cheeks flush slightly as she spoke, Levi, being an experienced man himself, immediately understood her underlying meaning.
He smiled and took out 20 million Valis from his item storage.
"Then while I'm in the Dungeon, Hestia, you can take your time and look for a new home for us."
"Leave it to me!" The twin-tailed goddess puffed out her chest, overjoyed that she could finally help Levi.
Then, completely unaware of how adorable she was at that moment, she was overpowered by her familia member and pushed down onto the bed.
...
"Ouch~" Hestia lay prone on the bed, her brow slightly furrowed, not forgetting to add, "Could you please be a little gentler?"
Hearing this, Hephaestus curled her lip. "I think I'm already being gentle enough."
As if to prove her point, she then patted her friend's back.
She then heard her friend involuntarily suck in a sharp breath again.
"Hey, hey, is there any need to be so dramatic?" Hephaestus retorted irritably.
Hestia, still lying down, raised an eyebrow. "Can't be helped. My Levi is just that amazing."
Hephaestus: "..."
"It feels like ever since you came to the lower world—no, ever since you met Levi, your entire personality has changed, Hestia."
The twin-tailed goddess turned her head curiously. "How has it changed?"
Her forehead was then poked. "You've become lecherous, of course!"
"I have not!" Hestia would never admit to such 'slander'. "As the guardian of the sacred flame, I'm purer than ninety-nine percent of the gods in Tenkai."
"Ohhh~" Hephaestus squinted. "Then who is this goddess before me who has overindulged so much that she looks like she could be sent back to Tenkai for releasing her divine power at any moment? It's so hard to guess~~~~"
"Ugh—"
Having been hit in a vital spot, the repair ship Hestia was sunk.
It took her a good while to recover.
"Don't just talk about me. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to resist either."
"As if!" Hephaestus crossed her arms, looking as if to say, 'I've seen it all; I'm nothing like a little rookie like you.'
But the next second...
"But aren't you a virgin goddess, just like me? No, just like I was before I met Levi?"
"Gah—"
Hephaestus, who had been watching from the sidelines, froze on the spot. After two or three seconds, she finally snapped out of it and exclaimed excitedly, "Wait! Hold on! Hestia, how do you know about that?"
"Back in Tenkai, I always presented myself as Aphrodite's husband. Although I was cuckolded plenty of times, no other god ever questioned it."
How could Hestia have found out...
"Oh, I don't think I've ever told you before. As one of the three ordained virgin goddesses, I could perceive certain private details about other people or gods through their scent. Hmm, it's somewhat similar to a beauty goddess's 'Charm' authority," Hestia explained calmly. "It's not just me; Athena and Artemis also knew about your situation."
"Of course, now that I have a lover, that divinely-gifted authority has been revoked."
Hephaestus took a step back, clutching her chest. "Hestia, something this important, and you're only telling me now?!"
"Isn't it because you never asked?" Hestia scratched her cheek. "Don't worry, I've never told anyone that you and Aphrodite were just a couple in name only and that you've never actually done the deed."
Hephaestus was still a little panicked, or more accurately, embarrassed. "But what about Athena and Artemis?"
"You don't trust their character?" Hestia glanced at her friend.
"...You're right."
When it came to being tight-lipped, Athena and Artemis were even more reliable than Hestia.
"So..." Hestia put her hands on her hips, steering the conversation back on track. "Neither of us should be calling the other out. Before coming to the lower world, we were both all theory and zero practical experience."
"Of course, I'm a little more skilled than you now." As she spoke, she raised her right hand and made a 'fingertip universe' gesture in front of her chest.
Hephaestus curled her lip.
—Keep bragging. Did you really think I didn't notice that wet spot on the ceiling?
