Give Zongman some collapse shock

But that's why she was angry.

"Hestia, is this something that should come out of your mouth?"

What goddess is Hestia?

It’s the Holy Fire Goddess!

She is the stove goddess!

She is the flawless goddess who protects every family with kindness and tolerance!

It is the warm sacred fire and the ever-burning light that maintain the happiness among family members.

Now, this goddess has low self-esteem and even says that she has no confidence in bringing family happiness to her children?

She had longed for it so much before. When all the gods laughed at her because of the curse on her right cheek, only Hestia offered her tenderness. The sacred gesture she witnessed then, the warmth she felt then, were denied by Hestia herself.

How could Hephaestus not be angry?

and so--

"go out!"

"Eh?"

"Get out! Get away from me! Leave my clan! I will never see you again until you have established your own clan!"

025 Woman, don't challenge my limits

"I was kicked out."

Walking on the bustling streets, Hestia exuded a sense of loneliness and desolation. She patted her chest, feeling half afraid and half relieved.

"I've never seen Hephaestus so angry before. If she knew..."

If Hephaestus knew, the reason Hestia rejected Kiana was half because of her inferiority complex and the other half was pure laziness.

This goddess plans to stay with her god friend forever, treating his clan as her own, not taking any responsibilities, and living a leisurely and comfortable life... As for clan games, she is happy just to be a bystander.

If people find out, I'll die, right?

Hestia shuddered, not daring to imagine the rage her fellow gods would unleash when they learned the truth.

Of course, she's not that bad.

At least from time to time I would think about establishing a clan, but every time the idea came up, it would be "thwarted" by various factors after a while, and I could only rely on myself tomorrow.

Then--

——"Please, tomorrow's me."

——"Please, tomorrow's me."

——"Tomorrow's me."

——"I understand. Tomorrow."

——"It will definitely be possible tomorrow."

And just like that, it’s been till now without me noticing.

I don't want to waste time in the lower realm, but I'm also unwilling to return to the upper realm without doing anything.

"Well, I'll have to ask my future self to take care of it this time. Anyway, I'll have to find a place to live first." The goddess was a little discouraged... and asked another fellow goddess for help.

However, the goddess did not know that she had been targeted as soon as she left the Hephaestus clan.

"Very good, just as expected. As long as we convey the news to the Hephaestus family that someone wishes to join the Hestia family, this goddess who is not usually seen will appear."

Jiang Chen and the other two hid behind cover and spoke in low voices.

Five days have passed since the day the campaign to capture the goddess Hestia was decided.

They were quite busy during these five days.

On the one hand, he focused on conquering Hestia and asking around about the goddess' preferences.

On the other hand, those who had fled from the collapsed world were handsome men and beautiful women, but their clothes were not decent at all.

Mei and Kiana's sailor uniforms were covered in rips of varying sizes. Jiang Chen, looking the most miserable, had his outer suit and top ripped in half, hanging from his body all day. Even if the three of them had such good manners that they wouldn't be mistaken for refugees, that was already the best-case scenario.

Their poverty is visible to the naked eye.

In order to win the heart of a goddess, you have to at least put some effort into your appearance.

So in addition to inquiring about Hestia's preferences, they also secretly went down to the dungeon during these five days.

Killing monsters in the dungeon will drop magic crystals, which can be exchanged for the currency of this world in the guild.

Of course, since the three hadn't officially become adventurers yet, they couldn't get a dungeon map from the guild. A dungeon is a maze, at least what they saw was a true maze. To avoid getting lost, they could only wander around the relatively small areas on the second and third floors.

The monsters in the upper area are weak, and the magic crystals they drop are of low quality, so the Baris you get in exchange is naturally pitifully small.

Due to various restrictions, the three of them suffered a lot to get the simple outfits they wear now.

And now-

"We only have 6800 paris left, and our funds are limited, so please remember that character design and other things are just for show, everything is for the purpose of the strategy. Where to spend money, save as much as possible, but if you really can't save... look for a substitute. Be sure to compare prices and create the most romantic scene with the least amount of money to win the favor of the goddess!" Jiang Chen's serious tone revealed bitterness.

Mei and Kiana nodded in agreement with serious expressions.

The three sets of clothing and the remaining 6800 paris were earned by the two of them with great difficulty, and they understood the hardships involved best.

"Very good, let's begin."

The first to appear is Mei.

The arrogant Herrscher of Thunder recalls the personality Jiang Chen tailored for him.

...Maruna! I forgot everything! What was Jiang Chen talking about before? It seemed like... Domineering CEO?

Although it was a stretch to create a domineering CEO persona with a population of 6800… no, converting it to just over a thousand per capita, Paris was a stretch. But now the arrow was on the string, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go for it.

After taking a detour to the front, Mei came out at a turning point at the right time.

"Stab~"

As expected, Mei and Hestia bumped into each other.

The petite goddess, her divine power sealed, fell back softly, her eyes closed in fear. For a moment, she didn't feel the expected pain, but instead felt a warmth.

"Um, sorry, I accidentally bumped into you."

"Heh~ I bumped into someone, and all you can do is apologize?" Meiyi raised an eyebrow, a wicked (cold) smile on her lips: "Woman, do you know how much this dress of mine is worth?"

"Ah this..."

Hestia looked up and down at the 'nostalgic' dress with a strange look on her face.

It tears when it is torn. I really can't see how valuable this skirt is.

Jiang Chen and Qiyana, who were following quietly behind, were stunned.

"Hey! Asshole, this is the exclusive character you customized for Mei? Don't you feel embarrassed?" Kiana was speechless.

"I was so embarrassed that I almost had to pick my feet, but what could I do? I was also desperate. She insisted that she could do it." Jiang Chen held his forehead and lamented.

He just started talking, and Mei said that she already understood what a domineering and tsundere personality was. No matter what Jiang Chen said afterwards, Mei looked impatient and didn't listen at all.

Just now, the girl looked so confident, and Jiang Chen thought she was really capable, but...

"Forget it, let's wait and see. There is still a chance." Jiang Chen held Kiana down for the time being.

"Are you serious?" The white-haired ball turned back in surprise.

Is this a chance? The goddess's expression clearly shows that she suspects Mei is trying to scam someone!

"Let me make this clear first. I was just kicked out of my house by a friend and I don't have a penny on me." Hestia took two steps back warily.

Even a god who has lived for countless years cannot understand what this girl who always sneers at him is trying to do.

Mei quickly followed and pushed it against the wall behind her.

The distance between the two of them is within reach.

"You are such a disobedient little cat. Do you think you can get rid of me with this excuse? Woman, don't challenge my patience." Mei continued to smile evilly.

Jiang Chen and Kiana were so embarrassed that they banged their heads against the wall.

How on earth did Mei manage to keep a cold face and say such greasy words without laughing?

The noise attracted the attention of passers-by, and noisy discussions gradually rose.

After a few days, Mei felt that inexplicable strange gaze again. She coughed unnaturally and prepared to bite the bullet and pull Hestia to move the battlefield first.

Unfortunately, it’s too late.

"Ah, I remember now. You're the real lightning swordsman that everyone has been talking about recently, right?" Hestia suddenly spoke with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Mei's face quickly turned red in the strange silence.

"...Woman, I don't know anyone called a swordsman."

Still persisting!

026 Mei: For my sake, use the honey trap on her

In the awkward and weird atmosphere, Mei followed Hestia and entangled with her for half an hour.

During this period, Mei successfully got a good guy card after paying 1700 paris to buy a storybook for her.

It was also at this time that the Herrscher, who had been diligently playing the role of a domineering boss, finally noticed the fifth retreat signal given by Jiang Chen and reluctantly admitted the failure of the attack.

"It's already... the limit."

It has to be said that Mei's behavior along the way attracted a lot of attention. After being recognized as the 'True Thunder Swordsman', she received criticism throughout the whole process.

When she got in front of Jiang Chen, the girl's face flushed red. She was so ashamed that she covered her face and dared not see anyone. She threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms.

"Thank you for your hard work, Meiyi. You did a great job." Jiang Chen sighed meaningfully.

At this time, neither he nor Kiana had any intention of blaming Mei, only pity and admiration.

After all, they both admitted that they couldn't perform such awkward acting and still last for half an hour.

"Sorry, I failed."

After hugging each other tightly for a while, enjoying the long-lost sense of security, Mei let out a sigh of satisfaction and calmed down.

"Woo~Mei." Kiana bit her handkerchief unwillingly.

Seeing the two of them hugging happily just now, the white-haired boy's eyes turned red with envy. After struggling for a few seconds, he decisively chose to be thick-skinned and wanted to act as if nothing had happened and join in naturally.

"I'm not here to separate you, I'm here to join you!"

Unfortunately, Mei didn't appreciate it. As soon as Kiana took a step, she was numbed by the electric shock.

Now that I've recovered, I want to show off.

"No one wants this to happen. Putting the facts aside, Meiyi-senpai's performance was remarkable." Kiana glanced at Jiang Chen apologetically, abandoning her conscience. "Let me make an objective assessment. The person who designed that embarrassing character should bear the primary responsibility for the failure of the capture plan."

This guy……

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

Kiana's way of protecting and taking credit for something couldn't be more obvious.

If a tail were added to the back of this white hair, it would definitely turn into a propeller by now.

"Why, you're not convinced and want to blame Meiyi-senpai?"

What a good way to sow discord!

"Don't talk nonsense. And Kiana, let me give you a piece of advice. Even if you want to flatter someone, you have to get the facts first." Jiang Chen showed a sympathetic look.

The character he designed for Mei is actually domineering and tsundere.
