Zongman: People in Chaldea, all the group members are wives

【“What else?”】

[Ocleya, wearing a maid outfit that has not changed for decades, casts a puzzled look: "We have to take care of the master. Apart from you, Zoe, who else do you think is free?"]

【"........................"】

[Step on, I'm coming! ]

.................................................. ................

Of course, Ocleya would not let Lin Yi deal with the wild rabbits on the ground alone. They were just joking with Lin Yi.

Who made Lin Yi not come back to visit them for so long?

Even a puppet will hold a grudge!

"Zoe."

By the river, Philofrosyne, who was helping to process the hare meat, glanced slyly at Anna, who was helping her second sister Ophelia to process other ingredients, and then quietly moved closer.

With a gossipy tone, he lowered his voice and asked softly, "Is that girl your abducted wife?"

"What wife? Don't talk nonsense, second sister! Anna is my companion, and she is just a child!"

"We are companions now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

Ou Feimo waved his hand nonchalantly, the gossipy look on his face not diminishing at all: "Besides, don't you heroes like this type? The smaller the body, the more you like it! Isn't it?"

Lin Yi was speechless. He was convinced that this was an era where everyone was a lolita complex.

"I'm not a pervert. I'm not interested in underage children. Thank you."

"real or fake?"

Ou Feimo obviously didn't believe it.

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt a chill on his back.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he caught a glimpse of Hephaestus, who was sitting expressionlessly on the recliner.

He immediately said righteously: "I only like mature women, preferably like Her Majesty Hephaestus, with long legs and a thin waist!"

"what?"

Ou Feimo was stunned, like a dull husky, and said stupidly: "But don't heroes dislike women like the master? Zoe, you don't have to force yourself. We are talking here, and the master can't hear us... woo woo woo?"

Before Ou Feimo, the expert in courting death, could finish her words, Lin Yi, who was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, quickly covered her mouth.

Second sister!

Do you want to take a look at the Death Star that is blinking above your head???

If you continue talking like this, I’m afraid I really can’t save you, brother!

Chapter 40: Happy Birthday, Hephaestus! (Please collect it!)

[In order to save this silly second sister, you kept your mouth shut. No matter what she asked, you pretended not to hear and concentrated on dealing with the hare in your hand.]

[Ou Feimo saw you ignoring her, pouted in boredom, and then focused on work. ]

[She is actually much more efficient than you, but she was just chatting all the time, so the progress was slow.]

[Now that you ignore her, Ou Feimo's speed immediately increases. ]

[In less than two hours, all the hares were cleaned and cut into small pieces for easy grilling, and then skewered on the skewers that Otenia had cleaned.]

[Just at this time, the sun has also set. You light a bonfire, take out the food from your luggage, and chat with your sisters while roasting rabbit meat.]

[From leaving Lemnos, to accepting Athena's oracle, going to the Invisible Island to attack Anna, but being stopped by a group of nymphomaniac Sirens. ]

[You are very eloquent and have strong narrative skills. ]

[Even Anna and Togo, who had been with you through it all, listened with great interest.]

[Not to mention the four sisters of Eucleia who have never set foot outside the island of Lemnos. ]

[As you tell the story, a vivid world they have never seen before emerges vividly before their eyes. ]

[When they heard you say that the nympho sirens were going to take you back to their lair, they couldn't help but curse at the sirens for being so shameless.]

[When you talked about the Minotaur who had been imprisoned in the labyrinth since birth, the four sisters who felt the same pain could not help but feel sad for him.]

【At the same time, they also became curious about Ikaros and Daedalus. 】

[I really want to see Ikaros, who is also a puppet like them, in person. 】

[And when you said that you used a trick to kill Minos, the villain who destroyed the bridge after crossing it, the four sisters immediately applauded. ]

【Says Minos deserved it, died a good death. 】

【They praise your wisdom and witness your growth. 】

[I am also worried that you might encounter dangers that are difficult to resolve after boarding the Argo. ]

[Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are reflected in the puppet sisters. 】

[Like real humans, they can cry and laugh, sympathize with the miserable, and hate those who do evil.]

[They are so vivid that they have long since transcended the realm of dolls.]

【They are yours...................】

【My dear! 】

【The night gradually deepened. 】

[The sizzling skewers were neatly placed on the tray. ]

[You sprinkled some spices on it, and Togo, who was already growling with hunger, couldn't wait to take away ten plates! ]

[Quiet and introverted Anna also took one.]

【You sit around the campfire, enjoying this rare beauty and reunion. 】

[Hephaestus sat at the top, quietly watching the joyful scene before him.]

[This is a scene that has never appeared in her dreams.]

[It was also an emotion she had never experienced before.]

[Everyone is like a family, gathering together to talk about everything, sharing the trivialities of life, whether it is the luck of seeing flowers blooming, or the misfortune of accidentally making a dark dish...]

【No one was impatient, everyone was listening attentively. 】

[These bits and pieces, combined together, turned into warm spring water, wrapping Hephaestus tightly. ]

[She was afraid that one day she would lose this warmth, but she was reluctant to let go of this unprecedented happiness.]

[Because she was worried about gains and losses, she didn't notice that you and Philofrosyne left mysteriously.]

[When Hephaestus came to his senses, a somewhat "abstract" cake appeared on the table in front of him. ]

[And the giggling Philofrosyne and the smiling boy beside her. ]

【"Master (Your Majesty Hephaestus), happy birthday!"】

[The scattered words together form a sentence of "Happy Birthday." 】

[The sky is full of stars, and candles are lit on the cake to represent the endless life of the gods. ]

[Hephaestus looked at everything in front of him at a loss, and was speechless for a moment.]

[“I’m sorry, Your Majesty Hephaestus, we don’t know exactly when you were born. Please forgive us for our presumption. We just… want you to look less lonely and to be happier.”]

[“In the days to come, we will celebrate your birthday countless times. I hope you can be happy every day.”]

[Sincerity is always the best killer move. The sincerity of you and Eucleia moved Hephaestus.]

[For some reason, her vision suddenly became blurry. ]

[Hephaestus shed tears in the astonished eyes of everyone.]

[Tears are like pearls that have broken off the string, dripping down continuously.]

【The more you wipe, the more you drop. 】

[But Hephaestus no longer cared about these things. She only felt as if she was surrounded by happiness. The anger and hatred in the past were no longer important.]

【“谢谢。”】

[The goddess who didn't know what love was cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound. ]

.................................................. ................

After venting all his negative emotions, Hephaestus regained his sanity and immediately regretted the "embarrassment" he had just experienced.

She had a wooden face, and tiny tears were hanging on her thick eyelashes like a palm leaf fan, but she insisted on pretending to look ferocious.

He threatened everyone in a muffled voice.

"You didn't see anything just now! I didn't cry! Got it?"

Lin Yi and Ocleya looked at each other and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Hephaestus was so embarrassed that he was about to run back to the temple and shut himself in.

He was grabbed by Lin Yi who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

"Your Majesty Hephaestus, you haven't made a wish yet! After you make a wish, remember to share the cake, okay?"

"......................"

After taking the dinner knife handed over by Lin Yi, Hephaestus calmed down a little.

She glanced at the not-so-attractive cake on the table, then looked at Lin Yi and asked curiously, "How did you come up with this kind of food?"

"I have nothing to do. You know, bored people are the scariest. They can do anything!"

"Oh, then go and beat up Athena."

"Ah, this............."

"Didn't you say you could do anything?"

"............."

If that's the case, beating Athena up would be too outrageous, right?

If I had this ability, wouldn't I have already climbed Mount Olympus and seized the throne from that old Zeus?

Lin Yi was speechless and could only complain in his heart.

Hephaestus hummed softly, feeling proud of himself for having pulled one back.

While thinking about how to divide the cake, he also did not forget to make some sharp comments.

"This cake you made is so ugly."

Philofrosyne, who was in charge of making the cake, looked downcast. She thought she would be praised.

"I'm sorry, Lord............."

Before he could finish his apology, he was interrupted by Hephaestus.

"However, since this is your first time, I won't pursue it. I hope you can do better next year, okay?"

"Of course, Master!"

Philofrosyne smiled brightly, she noticed that her master seemed to have changed.

Not as obsessed with perfection as before.

she was.

Make peace with yourself.

"Make a wish now."

Lin Yi interrupted at the right time.

Hephaestus couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

I am the object of human prayer. Who can fulfill my wish?
