Chapter 107 Not Interested

Eero nodded and replied calmly, "Who doesn't know the famous familia in the city? Also, an excellent adventurer pays attention to his surroundings.""Interesting. Someday I want to exchange fists with you," Bete commented, very intrigued.

Eero nodded calmly in return, then glanced at Ais, standing a little away, looking at him dazedly. 'This girl is really a wooden statue without emotion,' he thought to himself, then didn't care, excused himself, and walked over to the table, picking up a brown cake with dry fruits and started eating it.

"It's good," he muttered in surprise.

"Eero-kun, you also love sweets," a feminine voice sounded beside him.

Eero turned and glanced at the Loki goddess and replied, "I like all sweets but love a few."


Loki was surprised, then confused. 'What does he mean by that?' Then she shook her head and said with a smile, "Why don't you join my familia?"

Eero shook his head and rejected, "No thanks, I am fine in Hestia Familia."

Loki acted disappointed and muttered to herself, "I was going to marry you if you joined my familia."

Eero didn't care. He knew this goddess's nature. Loki the trickster. She wouldn't mind playing tricks to get what she wanted.

Loki then glanced at Eero, who was not paying attention to her, became a little disappointed, continued eating her cake, and then walked toward Ais to tease her again.

Eero, on the other hand, furrowed his brow, feeling constantly being stared at by someone. He turned and glanced at Hestia, who was talking with Hephaestus, then glanced at Freya.

She smiled at him, and Eero's soul shook in his mind. He returned to his senses. 'It's Charm effect,' Eero thought thoughtfully, then glanced at Freya and started eating the cakes calmly without caring about her.

Freya was surprised then turned her head away thoughtfully. 'My charm didn't work. Also, why are my hands shaking?' Looking at her trembling hands, she clenched them, still unable to stop their movements, and then turned and walked outside the party hall.

"Let's go," she spoke calmly.

Otter nodded and followed her away, while staring at Eero.

Eero was sitting on a chair, looking at everyone around, including those side goddesses and gods, including Apollo.

"So, little genius blacksmith, I didn't expect you to reject me and choose her instead. Your profession matches me. At least you should respect the goddess of your profession."

A lady with an eye patch appeared and sat beside him. She is Hephaestus. Eero turned and glanced at her speechlessly. 'Why do they all pop up one by one? So this was the trouble Eina was talking about.'

Eero smiled and replied calmly, "I just wanted to join a goddess with no familia, and she was perfect for my choice."

Hephaestus raised her brow, then sighed, drinking wine, and said, "Well, it's your fate, it can't be helped."

Upon exiting the Twilight Mansion, Eero returned to the blacksmith shop along with Hestia.

"Eero, the Loki familia has thrown a party because their familia successfully reached the 60th floor and killed a demi spirit. Hatefully, she didn't explain anything about that Demi spirit to me," Hestia said, then became angry.

Eero raised his brow. 'Demi spirit!!! On the 60th floor, it's interesting,' he thought to himself intriguingly.

Looking at Hestia chattering about the Twilight Mansion and party, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face then asked, "Should we buy a good residence for our familia?"

Hestia was startled, then glanced at Eero in surprise. After a while, she fell silent, turned her eyes away, shook her head, and replied, "No need. I am happy in our residence."

Eero became suspicious, looking at her acting weirdly, then shook his head. 'Well anyway, soon Apollo familia will lose his house to us,' Eero thought to himself, recalling the spiteful expression of Apollo.

Soon they returned to their residence.

Next Morning,

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Eero was working inside the workshop, recasting his weapons with fresh and high-quality materials.

After a while, looking at the dark weapons and armor, he nodded satisfied, picking them up.

The sword felt sharp and lighter, and the armor was more durable. The hammer felt heavier and more indestructible, as Eero wanted. As for the armor, it could neutralize even 6th or 7th level monster's direct attacks.

"Eero, are you leaving again?" Hestia appeared from behind and said calmly.

Eero raised his brow, turned around, and looked at her silent expression. He appeared beside her and said with a smile, "I think if I surpass 10th level, I will gain infinite lifespan, even rivaling gods, then I can stay with you forever."

Hestia was startled, looking at Eero's smile in shock, her face turned red like a tomato. 'Is he proposing to me? He likes me and wants to stay with me forever,' her thoughts started running wild.

"Ahem, I have something to do, Eero-kun. Y-you take care of yourself in the dungeon," Hestia replied embarrassingly, then left the workshop hurriedly.

Eero became speechless. 'Why does every girl tend to be nervous in front of me? She was so open in the anime, now what happened to her? It seems I am different from Bell. He didn't accept her feelings, on the other hand, I am expressing my feelings for her,' he thought to himself, shook his head, leaving it alone. No one can understand a woman's heart.

After a while,

Eero was walking in the street, looking at the lively Orario people around. He stopped, turned, and glanced at the Babel Tower. 'She doesn't have anything to do except peeking, leave her alone, I am not interested in someone like her.' he thought to himself, shook his head.

...

Standing in the Babel Tower,

Freya flinched, her shining silver eyes returned to normal, putting her hands on her pounding heart. 'He can sense my gaze. What a magnificent human. Why am I becoming so attracted to him, more and more?'

"It's rare to see you in the street instead of the dungeon," a voice sounded beside him.

Eero turned and glanced at the blonde elf Ryuu. He replied calmly, "I was on my way to the dungeon."
