She said nothing, like a holy statue.

If it wasn't for the hair dancing in the wind, it would be impossible to tell the difference.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Seemingly feeling the movement behind, the goddess cherry lips parted slightly, and said lightly:

"Are you Chios Pesheim, the child of my family?"

(puff!)

It took several rehearsals before this goddess could speak such lines without showing off...

Chios, who almost couldn't help laughing, had an expression that was completely opposite to his thoughts, full of hope.

"If you are willing to accept me so humble..."

He took a few steps closer, knelt down on the ground, and looked up at Hestia who turned around slowly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to be so polite, after all, we are the future..."

The words spoken in a soft voice suddenly choked, and the black-haired goddess who finally saw the face of Chios for the first time opened her eyes wide as if suddenly struck by lightning, and her pupils shrank into a small dot.

That is definitely not the reaction of being shocked by the handsome face of the young man...

It's the instinctive fear of a hamster when it encounters a poisonous snake.

! ! !

At this moment, the only thought in Hestia's mind was to run away immediately.

However...

click...

The sound of the door being locked from the outside came to the ears of the two of them at this time.

Chapter 490? Sadness, Guilt, Anger

Looking back at the moment when her eyes touched the man's face, Hestia froze when she turned around.

As a perfect celestial deity, even if he seals his divine power in the lower realm, he will not be afraid of mortals.

However, when the goddess faced the youth, she felt the palpitation of encountering a natural enemy.

The hairs on his body stood on end, and a black, indescribable horror emerged from the shadows around his feet.

The only thought that came to mind was to run away immediately.

However...

click...

There was the sound of the guest room door being locked from the outside.

There is no doubt that it was Hephaestus who personally blocked the retreat of the god friend.

After her vigilance broke through the critical point, her mind calmed down a little, and Hestia reflected on her panic a second ago, which was simply inexplicable.

When she realizes that her life is in danger, the divine power in her body will automatically activate to protect the gods. Even the strongest adventurer will have to kneel down before this power, and be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

What's more, with the existence of divine power, under ordinary circumstances, it is impossible for mortals to have a real intention of harming gods.

Otherwise, how could the gods have the confidence to descend to the lower realms to play with their own divine power...

Hephaestus dared to lock a friend and a strange man in a room for the same reason.

So, why do I feel afraid...

Could it be that this child has some kind of ability that can endanger the safety of the gods?

Unable to comprehend the reason for the frequent alarms in her heart, Hestia looked away from the door and turned to the young man again.

! ! !

The deep fear seemed substantive, and the goddess could even feel its touch as it snaked around the skin of her toes, and quickly climbed up, coiling around her neck in circles, and then gradually tightened.

The ever-increasing squeeze made Hestia almost suffocate, and the poison that penetrated from the surface of the body to the bone marrow spread to the whole body, making her hands and feet cold.

Intense tension oppresses the mind, causing nausea.

(Well...)

The black-haired goddess covered her mouth with her hand, trying not to let herself spit it out on the spot.

Seeing this, Chios showed concern and stepped forward to ask:

"God Hestia, you are alright..."

"Don't come here! Don't come near me!"

The goddess screamed in horror and disgust pierced the eardrums, and Chios was stuck in place.

"what..."

Hestia suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and immediately realized how hurtful her words were.

She quickly raised her head to look at the young man...

It's a pity that it's hard to get overwhelmed.

The blood on her face faded, leaving only a vast paleness, and the hand that reached out to her with concern was also frozen in the air.

After a while, he seemed to understand that what he was looking for was something out of reach, and the hand fell sadly and lonely.

"..."

The young man lowered his head and let his bangs cover his eyes.

Gaining courage from the god of forging, he stepped into the room with anticipation, thinking that he could regain the lost happiness, but unexpectedly, he got a look of disgust from the god in return.

"!"

He bent his elbows towards his own hand and grabbed his heart violently, his neat clothes suddenly wrinkled into a ball.

Push until your knuckles turn white.

It seems that as long as you do this, you can catch a trace of precious things that belong to you.

But nothing remained but emptiness.

I'm so sorry...

so painful...

Gritting his teeth, he silently expressed the darkness in his heart at this moment.

Watching this scene, guilt as thick as black ink instantly filled Hestia's heart.

"Yeah...sorry...I..."

She wriggled her lips to say something, but couldn't form a complete sentence.

Trapped by vigilance, I couldn't even take a step to get closer to each other.

Click!

"Hestia?"

The door of the guest room was hurriedly opened by the red-haired goddess.

Hearing the screams of the god friend, Hephaestus was just about to leave, leaving room for the two of them to get along with each other, and Hephaestus immediately turned around and unlocked it, rushing in to check the situation.

She originally thought that it was Chios' excessive enthusiasm that made it difficult for Hestia to adapt, and she reacted in a hurry.

As a result, what was presented in front of my eyes was not the case at all...

Three steps away from the black-haired goddess, the young man had a lowered face, his right hand was grabbing his left chest vigorously, his upper and lower jaws were tightly clenched with white teeth, blurring the mournful sobs coming from deep in his throat.

As for Hestia, who was leaning against the window, her face was full of apology, as if she didn't know how to deal with it.

Hephaestus decided to break the silence:

"what happened?"

"I'm sorry, Hephaestus..." It was Hestia who answered.

She understood better than anyone else that the young man had done nothing.

It all stemmed from her unreasonable intuition, and she repeatedly told herself to stay away from this innocent and suffering child.

The brunette goddess was about to go on...

"It was my fault..."

Quickly wiping away the tears under the shadow of bangs, when Chios put down his hands, he had already smiled again.

But in the eyes of the two gods, that smile is like an ice crystal shining brightly in the sun, which may melt at any time, making it extremely illusory.

"If I hadn't had expectations and dreamed a beautiful dream without authorization, I wouldn't have felt the pain when I woke up...like me...humble..."

With Chios guessing the follow-up in just a few words, Hephaestus couldn't listen anymore...

"do not talk..."

After hugging the young man, when she felt the other party's head buried in her arms, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and the uncontrollable anger burned violently with her heartache.

Back then, she was the one who recommended Hestia to Chios...

Because she still has a considerable degree of trust in her friend, she thinks that the god friend who feels the child's trust without impurities will change.

It was she who pushed the child in her arms into the abyss with her own hands, and shattered his heart stitched together with hope again.

"What's wrong with you, Hestia!"

Hephaestus, who has seen the other party's depraved behaviors with his own eyes since he was in the lower realm, can't bear it anymore, said angrily:

"Where did you go when you were in the heavenly realm? It doesn't matter if you lie in the house reading idle books all day long and use all kinds of excuses to cover up your laziness. What you have corrupted is only your past persistence and the loss of your friends' trust... "

Saying that, she let go of Chios and stepped forward quickly.

"But, hurting a child who hopes to find you, isn't that the purpose of your lower world!?"

Pulling up the skirt of Hestia's one-piece dress with both hands, he pushed the god friend against the wall with all his might.

"I can see that you are waiting, but I don't understand what you are waiting for...In this lower world where everything is won by your own efforts, what exactly do you want to get through waiting, it is worth letting you have the happiness that is within reach Abandoned like trash..."

bump!

The petite Queen Goddess slammed her back against the wall, her body was equivalent to that of a mortal after her divine power was sealed, and she clearly felt the pain.

"Answer me, Hestia!"

【April Thank You List】

I have nothing special to say about this month, except for the increase in leave due to physical illness. I'm really sorry that I didn't take good care of my body.

Recently, I thought of a question. If Chios returned to the time of King Arthur, which knight do you think he is most likely to become? Although it is a question that I thought of purely out of boredom, I hope everyone will actively answer it.
