"In short, Blake said he is 100% confident of winning, and I choose to believe him."
Seeing Loki and Hephaestus looking at her with surprised and uncertain eyes, Hestia said seriously.
"That boy Blake really has a heart. Indeed, it's a waste for him to be in your Familia."
Now calm, Loki looked at Hestia with a hint of jealousy, as if she had suddenly thought of something.
"Forget it, I won't interfere with your Familia's matters.
However, although we've become allies, since you said you don't need my help, I won't intervene. Good luck."
Then, Loki waved her hand and walked away casually.
"Hestia, I'm truly impressed with both of you. If you need magic swords, just tell me, but you'll have to pay."
Hephaestus pressed her forehead, sighing helplessly.
"Don't worry, Hephaestus. Blake never does anything he's not confident about. I'm going back now—I still need to have dinner with Blake."
Hearing this, Hestia smiled brightly and jogged away.
"Blake... what exactly are you hiding?"
Hephaestus shook her head and sighed melancholically before turning back toward the venue.
She completely couldn't understand this human—Blake.
However, one thing made her uneasy: Hestia had fallen in love with a human.
The lifespan of gods was incomparable to that of humans.
If they truly united, after a hundred years, only sorrow would remain.
Although for gods with long lives, such negative emotions were merely another experience—
Hephaestus felt that with Hestia's personality, she might truly collapse then.

At Blake's home, just as he finished preparing dinner with his not-so-bad cooking skills, Hestia returned.
"You worked hard~."
Looking at the smiling, utterly charming Hestia, who walked over and gave a thumbs-up, Blake smiled gently and said—
"It's nothing. For Blake, I can do anything."
Hearing this, Hestia hugged Blake's arm, speaking affectionately.
Having confirmed their relationship gave Hestia an overwhelming happiness.
"Let's eat. Lili has been in the dungeon all day, so I told her to eat and sleep early."
Feeling the astonishing softness of her arm, Blake's heart couldn't help but stir.
He gently stroked Hestia's smooth hair with his other hand and said warmly.
"Mm-hmm.
Oh, right, tomorrow is the Monster Feria. Let's go on a date."
Then, Hestia seemed to remember something. Her face flushed slightly as she said expectantly.
"Of course. A festival isn't bad for our first date."
Hearing this, Blake's crystal-blue eyes flickered, and he responded with a radiant expression.
This also made Hestia extremely happy—her twin tails even swaying in defiance of physics.

While Blake's home was filled with joyful chatter and warmth, after the Divine Assembly, gods of various Familias eagerly brought back the explosive news—
causing a great upheaval in the adventurer world.
Apart from a few novice adventurers who deeply admired Blake,
many high-level adventurers gloated, filled with jealousy and bitterness.
Blake's feat of crushing the Apollo Familia,
his power that defied all conventions,
while inspiring admiration, praise, and respect—
also birthed fear, envy, and resentment.
After all, they had painstakingly climbed to the top—
battling monsters and facing death—
to become high-level adventurers and earn their prestige.
Yet Blake, at Level 1, had made his name known across the city.
He had fought LV.5 adventurers and crushed the Apollo Familia.
This disparity drove them mad.
However, due to Blake's immense potential and strength,
and the previous assumption that he was protected by the strongest Familia—Freya Familia—
they dared not say much.
Whenever they saw him, they could only avoid him.
But now—
Blake had actually provoked the Freya Familia in a suicidal manner?!
This was a feast for them!
Watching the so-called genius being humiliated and defeated—
watching his name turn from legend to laughingstock—
was the greatest entertainment.
Of course, some of Blake's acquaintances were completely stunned.
The Loki Familia members, the waitresses at The Benevolent Mistress, and even Eina...
Even Ais couldn't help but want to find Blake immediately—
but Loki had ordered Finn to stop her.
Tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night.
Although Blake and Hestia could both guess this,
they didn't care—
Instead, they focused on preparing for tomorrow's date.
If this scene were known to the other gods and adventurers,
they'd likely be dumbfounded.

The next day, as the sun shone brightly,
the entire Orario became lively.
Today was the annual Monster Feria,
and brave adventurers would publicly tame monsters from the dungeon—
an event countless residents looked forward to every year.
Thus, today the streets surged with people.
Adventurers took rare time off from the dungeon.
Residents emptied their pockets to shop and stroll.
It was also a perfect day for dates and flirting.
Food vendors filled the air with enticing aromas.
Street corners bustled. Excitement overflowed.
At this moment, Blake took Hestia and Lili out to enjoy the festivities.
Although Hestia was conflicted about Lili joining their date, she didn't complain.
In her words:
"I am a generous goddess!"
However, while they shopped, many passersby gave subtle, strange gazes.
Blake ignored them.
Hestia, lost in excitement, didn't notice either.
But Lili, ever-sensitive, couldn't help but pinch Blake's sleeve.
"Here, Lili, Hestia—your strawberry crepes."
Noticing Lili's odd behavior, Blake took the crepes from the vendor and handed them to the cheerful Hestia and the worried Lili.
