"Ah, okay..."
Chun nodded and looked at the other stoves.
Baili followed Hephaestus and they went up to the second floor together.
When Hephaestus reached the second floor, she stopped.
She was a little nervous.
Because this was, in a way, her first time...
"Right here... Let's finish quickly, Baili Xianqi Ershanling is Qishansiqunsheng."
"Hmm, let me see."
"I want to ask again... are you really sure you want to watch it?"
Hephaestus's voice was so low it was almost inaudible, her fingers resting lightly on the edge of her blindfold, her knuckles turning slightly white with tension.
Baili nodded
"That's why I made the bet."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Outside the second-floor window, the red glow of dusk illuminated the goddess's pale face. Her breathing became rapid, and her eyes darted around, as if she were about to face judgment.
next moment……
Hephaestus slowly removed the blindfold and closed her intact left eye, as if this would alleviate some of her shame.
The moment the blindfold slipped off, Baili showed a hint of surprise.
Beneath the blindfold, there was none of the ugliness Hephaestus had described.
Seeing Baili remain silent, Hephaestus lowered her head and remained silent, waiting for the familiar mockery or retreat.
However, Baili spoke softly.
“…It’s normal.”
She suddenly looked up and stared at him in disbelief.
"I think Miss Hephaestus's right eye is more beautiful than her face; to use a novel's description, it's like a jewel."
Baili emphasized
"I thought that the person who could create those exquisite ornaments and weapons must have an eye for beauty, and now it seems that I was right."
Upon hearing this, Hephaestus's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she only whispered a few words.
"……Thanks."
Hephaestus quickly prepared to put the blindfold back on, her movements much gentler than before.
“You’ve seen it too… Let’s go back then, Mr. Baili.”
"kindness."
Baili turned around.
They felt they had gained a lot today.
The Stone of Fate, which cannot be forged by the god of forging, and the face hidden behind the eye patch that is intriguing.
And at this moment——
Hephaestus's newly opened eye glanced furtively at Baili's retreating figure, her gaze filled with a peculiar emotion.
She only felt her heart beating much faster than before.
He didn't want to take his eyes off Baili.
what is this?
My right eye only glanced at it once, and then I didn't want to look away.
Could it be...
Is it what people call love at first sight?
No, it's impossible, right?
Hephaestus followed behind Baili, recalling what had just happened, hoping to calm her wildly beating heart.
Regardless of the truth, Hephaestus could not forget what had just happened.
She was certain that the first thing she saw with her right eye was Baili, the very person who had made her lose her composure!
Chapter 76 Rias, Mai, and Asia's Three Magical Weapons
Baili received a surprise gift from the girls.
It's not really anything special, since they're all clothing selection coupons.
For example, elf maid outfits, court ball gowns, openwork dancer robes, etc...
The variety is very rich, allowing Baili to choose whatever he likes.
Baili, whom they had taken in, planned to use later.
This situation surprised Hestia.
"I always felt that these surprises weren't for Mr. Hyakuri, but for Rias, Mai, and Asia, because Mr. Hyakuri couldn't wear such beautiful clothes."
The Blue Ribbon Goddess is pure at this moment.
Baili originally wanted to say, "I can't wear it, but I can take it off," but he changed the content.
"I can't wear it, but some surprises don't necessarily have to be applied to the original body; they need to complement each other."
"Hmm... I don't understand at all."
"Miss Hestia will understand when the opportunity arises in the future."
After discussing these matters, Hephaestus and Tsubaki reappeared in the weapon shop lobby.
Hephaestus, walking ahead, surveyed the scene.
Her gaze finally settled on the number "907" on Baili's body, and she stared at it intently...
"We need some more time to develop the weapons. They should be ready by tomorrow morning, and you can come and pick them up then."
"Lady Hephaestus, shall we take a break before we start working again?"
"Forehead……"
"Lady Hephaestus?"
"what……"
Hephaestus, who had been awakened by Chun, withdrew her gaze from Baili.
She cleared her throat.
"Ahem, that's right. Rest is necessary, after all, the next step is to finish up and make sure all three weapons are perfect."
"Then we won't bother you anymore."
Hestia felt there was no need to wait at the scene.
Hearing her say that, Hephaestus nodded.
"Just come tomorrow morning."
"Well."
Hestia prepared to leave.
In order not to disturb the craftsmen's work, Baili led the girls out of the shop.
"We'll get the weapons tomorrow..."
"I wonder what the final product will look like."
"I'm really looking forward to it..."
Whether it's Rias, Mai, or Asia, they all want to get the weapons that the God of Forging crafted for them as soon as possible.
Hestia, who was walking in front, saw the group stop, turned around, waved, and shouted.
"Hey everyone, how about we go to my favorite place for dinner? It's that tavern called 'The Abundant Mistress'."
“Speaking of dinner… Miss Hestia, do you remember the aroma we smelled while we were shopping today? That shop seems to be not far away.”
"Oh, right... The barbecue at that restaurant smells really good. Shall we go check it out? Maybe we can go to the Abundant Mistress restaurant next time we have some free time."
That's what I think.
Asia has found a shop she likes and hopes everyone can go there together.
"That barbecue restaurant smells really good."
Rias agreed.
Where is Baili Jun?
Mai walked up to Baili and sought his opinion.
Grilled meat in another world...
It feels no different from real-life barbecue.
But there's nothing to do now, so I'll just eat something and wait until tomorrow to get the weapons.
So Baili agreed.
"You lead the way."
The group reunited with Hestia ahead and entered the bustling streets of Orario.
the next morning.
As agreed, Baili brought the girls to Hephaestus's shop.
Hestia accompanied them again this time, wanting to see what weapons crafted from special dungeon items looked like.
