My Upgrades Are Invincible - Chapter 122
As I walked into the renovated basement after passing Haruhime plus the others, and explaining I needed to talk to our goddesses, I saw Hestia, and Freya sitting beside one another across from the sheepish form of Hephaestus.
“Ah Hephaestus. It’s nice to see you again, did you finish all the business you needed to with Tsubaki?” I asked politely but still with a bit of confusion as she said she and Tsubaki needed to spend a couple hours doing inspections and then do paperwork for even longer.
So, I was understandably confused when not even an hour later after she kicked me out of a cuddle session she was over here talking to my ladies.
Hephaestus shrugged as my goddesses just giggled at her being caught. “Alright Jake I just wanted to get any drama that may pop up with you out of the way with how you put a baby into me.”
I could only shake my head as even though Hephaestus was trying to sound nonchalant, she was obviously flustered with the rosy tint on her cheek’s, but I had bigger thoughts on my mind at the moment.
I turned over to Hestia and Freya. “The meeting with Inari… To say it went badly was an understatement.” I then went onto explain how the guards so casually referred to using Haruhime as a sex toy before she could officially be merged into the Inari Familia as she only recently took Hestia Falna so she couldn’t be traded even if she wanted to. Then I explained my brief slaughter killing a few dozen members of the Inari Familia that rushed me and that I killed the old captain of the Inari Familia, that old steward while sparing those twins.
Freya hummed in thought while Hephaestus obviously being a bit of an outsider kept quiet, but I could tell she was honestly didnt care that I did it with how I only killed the people that fought me leaving the people fleeing or just bystanders alone. “Jake, I have had my members crush a number of Familia’s over the years who got uppity, and I can only say that truly with how we divines are. You will need to do this every couple year’s until you are in a completely unassailable position like when I had Ottar at level seven.”
Hestia helplessly nodded and even as she truly didnt like what I did in killing all those Renard’s she had an iron clad reason she couldn’t blame me for the deaths and how I handled Inari herself. “Yeah, Inari would have been striking at us from the shadows with her ninjas if you didnt firmly put her in her place and seeing as she survived the meeting that means we don’t have to worry about her cursing you and it destroying your mortal form.”
Yeah, lets not get cursed into destroying my mortal form and my soul being tortured for however long it takes for Hestia and Freya to find me in Tenkai …
Either way I had now buried my face into Freya’s chest and listened to her heartbeat in deep relaxation as we lounged on the long couch that was placed in the basement with Freya gently running her fingers through my hair and down my scalp as Hestia pouted at me being spoiled but I pointed out that she needed to keep Hephaestus company.
“Hephaestus! I am sorry but you need to go, so Freya doesn’t put Jake to sleep with her evil hands!” Hestia cried out making the other two goddesses snort at how possessive she was being, but Freya and Hephaestus instead just winked at each other colluding to mess with the far shorter goddess.
Hephaestus just stretched and yawned theatrically as stood up and then with a smooth motion she kicked off the boots she was wearing. “Well I don’t wanna cramp Tsubaki’s style with her trying to snuggle up to that strong silent guy you snagged Jake. So in return for your member seducing my captain I am demanding cuddle times so Tsubaki can work her magic.”
I could only nod proud of my choice in bringing back Gyomei but then an errant thought struck me. ‘Wait if I got Hephaestus and Gyomei is being hunted down by the half dwarf/amazon… Wonder where that leaves Welf? Meh never even met the guy in this life so he is irrelevant honestly.’
Meanwhile Hephaestus had stripped off her tight leather pants leaving herself in some comfortable underwear and unbuttoned her shirt, had just picked up the indignant form of Hestia and I likewise picked up Freya who giggled at the feeling and then me and Hephaestus both shared a smile as we laid the two goddesses on the bed beside one another and we then spooned the goddesses with our arms across Freya in my case and Hestia for her leaving our hands to join together in the middle of the goddess sandwich we made.
As we relaxed in one another’s arms and I enjoyed the pleasant smell from Freya’s hair I took all the joy I could from this as I knew tomorrow we were going back into the dungeon with the Hashira’s to get their feet wet in the dungeon and see how well the breathing styles would translate for level ones to fight level two and three monsters around Riveria.
