Jaune Arc: Unlimited Enhancements

My head hurts...Yet, I feel very comfortable. The soft and thicc pillow is very nice, but I don't remember buying a pillow this comfortable. I grabbed for it and it made a sound. A sound so nice that it would make you feel aroused. That's when I shot up and looked at my surroundings. Yup! The comfortable pillow was the thighs of Hephaestus, and I just grabbed it, which made her squeal a bit. However, it was such an amazing and arousing sound.

"It seems that you had a wonderful time playing with my thighs," said Hephaestus. She looked at me with a smirk.

"Ahem! I did not know what I was doing. However, I am man enough to admit it was a great thigh," I said to her. Why bother lying? It was not going to get me anywhere.

"Look at you! You are looking quite wonderful...tonight," I said. I looked out the window and saw that it was quite dark, but not in the way that it was in the middle of dawn. Thus, it should have been a few hours since I fainted.

"Not that you were not beautiful before, don't get me wrong. Whatever deformity you might have, it is not enough for me to lose sight of the beauty that makes you who you are, Hephaestus," I told her. In truth, her outer appearance is not the only thing that makes her beautiful. Her passion for her craft. Her caring personality, especially when it comes to her Familia. All these are what make her beautiful in my eyes. And yes, I might have been watching her quite a bit since I got to know her.

"Do you really think so?" Hephaestus asked. I can tell that she is new to this, which is true for me too.

Okay, I am about to do something stupid. I hope to whatever Almighty God out there, for this not to backfire. I took a deep breath, and I leaned into her. I gave her a quick, but passion-filled kiss. I pulled away from the kiss and hoped. Okay, she might kill me, but I would not regret what I did. I

What I did not expect from all this is for Hephaestus to pull me and kiss me more passionately than I gave her. Wow! Uhm...this feels nice...Oh! My! Oum! Her tongue is...mhmmm!

"I must confess. The truth is, I started having feelings for you. I...When you told me you wanted to see what was behind my eye patch, I made all the random and difficult tests to delay you seeing it as much as possible. I was afraid that you would run away, just like all the people that have seen it," said Hephaestus. There was a tone of worry in her voice, but also relief as I did not fear her even after seeing her most guarded issue.

"You know, when I came here today, I was planning on asking you out on a date, using the Monster Feria as a way to do so, which I still plan to do. But before that, know this. No matter how you look. No matter what people say about you. No matter what, nothing will make me afraid of you," I said to her. I did not even know when I started holding her hands when I spoke.

"So, will you, Hephaestus, like to go out with me? If you accept, I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to make you happy. However, this next part would probably make you not accept my proposal. You may not be the only one I bare my heart to," I said to Hephaestus.

"You know, something like that would hardly be something that would make me reject you. I am a Greek Goddess. Something like polygamy is not an issue. And also, what makes you think I would let go of the person who has finally shown no fear in the curse of my eye and helped me dispel it? So, Jaune, I would gladly go out with you," said Hephaestus. She pulled me into a hug. She was shorter than me, which is why the top of her head was just below my chin.

I returned the hug.

...

For the past week, I have been happy.

Bang! Bang!

My relationship with Hephaestus is slow, but I do not mind it one bit. Indeed, we have only known each other for a few months. I did not want to rush anything, and I did say I would take her to the Moster Feria for our first date. However, it was moved a few days later since there was going to be a Denatus. I kind of forgot about those events since it is of no importance to me, and Hestia would no longer need to ask Hephaestus to make a weapon for Bell since I gave him one that suits him well.

Bang! Bang!

Sure, it is not a living weapon like the Hestia Knife, but it is a blade that is capable of making a contract with its wielder, and only they can gain benefits from it. I called it Lightning Edge. It is a knife that could generate and control lightning, and with the spell I gave Bell, it should increase its power significantly.

Bang! Bang!

"Okay, that's enough for today," I said to Bell. He was panting, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.

"For tomorrow, I would not be able to train you since I plan to stay in the dungeon for a few days. I plan to reach as far down as I can," I said. I have been here for a while, and I want to be able to gain as much EP as I can in the next few days. As it turns out, I would need around 3,000,000 EP to bring a Goddess to Remnant. It would take time and effort, but it would be so worth it.

"I understand. Some day, I want to catch up to your level," said Bell. He then packed his things as he needed to get ready for a dungeon dive as well.

I smiled at the little guy.
