Decisions "3"

Hephaistos brought a tea-cup in her hand as she rested on the chair of her desk , today was really a busy day indeed.

She had to step in personally to supervise the production of the new items that Ganesha familia asked for , with the news about  the dungeon lower floors beeing  off limits , they no longer had the luxury of wasting any  raw material in the process . She massaged her forehead with  her hand as she looked around , Her eye finally stopped on a certain goddess with a large chest  sitting on the nearby sofa gazing through the window , she seemed really lost in thoughts , Hephaistos coughed then spoke :" Hestia , we already finished the work today , aren't you going home ?" she asked , Hestia who usually left at the end of her shift and went back to her mansion  was still  there.

The sudden call of her name took her by surprise as she shifted around " oh , they are probably in the dungeon now , if I went back I will be all alone ,so I thought I can stay here  for dinner " she said as a little smile formed on her face before dropping her head again

 Hephaistos eye narrowed , she really hated that fake smile Hestia made from time to time , she even forgot when was the last time she really saw her  friend smiling from her heart and that really pissed heroff for some reason  . she sighed as she took a sip from her tea to cool her mind 

" well , we can do that too  , I forgot that your familia has canceled their expedition, it cant be helped, Ouranus has tightened the security in the dungeon , I cant really disagree with him , but its really bad for the business " she said flatly

" yeah , you are right " Hestia replied

" speaking of familia , how are your kids doing so far ?" Hephaistos decided to change the subject , more interested in Hestia familia members

Hestia finally shifted her body totally facing her friend  and spoke "they are doing good , it took them a while to adapt ,.." as she posed dropping both her head and voice before continuing , Hephaistos obviously not missing that detail " but I am sure they will become the strongest familia in Orario , i cant wait to  kick that flat chest chested Loki's ass" she shouted as she jumped to her feet , declaring as she could already see her victory . Hephaistos smiled " I like your spirit , come on lets go to the kitchen, have I told you that Tsubaki is my top chef in the familia "

" no , you only said that she is good with any tool " Hestia replied , " really ?  I think I might ve said that , well cooking tools are also included in th-- " 

as they both Stepped up to walk out of the office ,a sudden knock followed by the door handle turning and getting opened . Both deities stopped in their places as Tsubaki the dusky skin blacksmith walked in the office with a report in her hand " Hephaistos sama , a new report have been submitted just hours ago by Loki familia to the guild , It contains updates about some lower dungeon floors , an also that guy , there is an interesting update you need to check" as she trailed at the end of her words ,Hephaistos furrowing her eye , she took the report in her hand , and leaned back on the edge of her desk . Hestia was on her toes trying to reach to read the paper too

" hmmm , this ?!" the red hair deity said as she gazed back at Tsubaki ," are they sure about this ?!"

"what did it say Hephaistos? " as she barely was able to read few lines from the edge of the paper befroe hephaistos turned the pages .

" the individual was wearing a Zues familia insignia and his strength report was believed to be at least level 7 , he managed to single handedly beat the Amazon sisters of Loki familia " As Tsubaki responded to Hestia question.

Silence washed out over the office. Everyone remembered what happened when just 2 of those familia turned their swords at Orario. Hestia wasn't there at that time ,but she learned about it from the deities . No one in Orario wants another massacre like that one .

" what happened to the two Amazons ?" Hestia asked breaking the tension in the atmosphere, she was more interested in what happend after , whether they managed to run away or their opponent just let them go 

" they manage to escape as to how ,they didn't specify , probably they don't intend to share secrets about their abilities or something , anyway the threat level has increased , I guess you should order your familia to stand by in their home and just train or relax for a while , I think the guild will send someone to take care of this guy soon " Hephaistos replied

" oh , they should include us too , I really want to see what kind of monster is this guy " Tsubaki declared showing a toothy grin while holding her bicep.

However she only got a hammer to the head from her deity :" you are going no were except the kitchen ,I am hungry Tsubaki!" the red hair shouted

" Hai!" and with that Tsubaki run away before she take anymore blows

Hephaistos sighed as she looked again at the paper which contained an illustration of the guy using the information from loki familia , then she turned her gaze through the window , towards the tall tower of babel.

At a certain high floor in the tower , a grey haired woman sat down gracefully on a throne like chair , her delicate milky hands holding a glass of red wine. A black and red dress pictured every curve of her divine body.

Her eyes glowed a little as she gazed down at the mortals in the city. Her lips widened in a smile as she called her servant in a melodic voice :" Ottarl "

A figure of giant muscled man with Boar ears walked forward slowly before kneeling down behind her throne

"what is your desire my goddess?" he asked in a monotone voice like

" prepare to receive a messanger from the guild , I guess Ouranus finally fell upon a problem that he cant solve by himself" as she laughed at the end of her words

" as you wish" Ottarl replied before leaving.
