Chapter 57 – Erase everything you’ve seen from your memory!


    When I arrived at the church, Hestia was not masturbating. She is reading the first volume of Re: Zero. I approached her, and Hestia put the book aside. She continued to avoid my gaze, and her face was still red.


    She is still very embarrassed.


    "What do you think of it? Is it good?" I asked her. Hestia cleared her throat and replied. She tried to maintain herposure to answer me.


    "It''s extremely well-written. I''m halfway through, so please don''t give me any spoilers." Hestia hadn''t read it all like Lili.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t spoil anything. Look, I went to the library and got more money. The sales are crazy as always. I wonder if the other gods are reading this." I smiled.


    Hestia took the bag of money and looked inside. "Wow, that''s a lot of money. The money you brought yesterday is in my room. I''ll go get it."


    "Oh, no need. Keep this along with the rest. How much do we have so far?"


    "I''m not sure, but around 2.3 million."


    "Is that enough to buy a house?" I asked Hestia. She thought for a moment and replied.


    "I think we''ll only be able to get small houses with this. It''s enough for the two of us, but if you''re considering expanding our Familia a lot, it''s not enough. Speaking of which, I''ll start looking for more members for our Familia."


    "You stopped? I thought you''d keep looking for new members. Were you too worried about finding a job and forgot about your Familia…"


    "Huh? Of course not! Don''t say things like that!"


    "I''m just joking, Goddess. But you don''t need to rush to find new members, let''s get the house first."


    "Alright, alright."


    "Let''s wait two more weeks, I think that''s enough time to save money and get a big house, right?"


    "Two weeks… If you keep getting this much money every day... One week should be enough!"


    "Hmmm… Then let''s see in a week." I sat next to Hestia. "Goddess, about yesterday..."


    "Don''t say anything about that! Forget everything you saw and pretend you didn''t see anything!"


    "I can''t pretend I didn''t see anything," I responded honestly.


    "Yes, you can! Just pretend you didn''t see anything! I don''t want to have to pull those images out of your head!" Hestia grabbed my head and started pulling my hair. Of course, she pulled lightly, not hurting me.


    It''s just her embarrassment acting up.


    I held her hands and felt her soft gloves. I caressed her hands and looked into her eyes.


    "I won''t say anything more about it, but know that everything I saw was very beautiful."


    "What?!"


    Hearing me, Hestia was speechless. I got up from the sofa, expecting her to explode. I moved away, and soon after, she started yelling.


    "What did you say?! Erase everything from your memory! Erase everything!"


    "I won''t~~ And you don''t need to be so embarrassed."


    Hestia approached me, and I held her hands, preventing her from getting closer. She kept grinding her teeth. I couldn''t help but startughing.


    She only calmed down minutester.


    I started talking about food and promised to cook for her again.

    <strong>*Change of POV*</strong>


    Sitting in an elegant room, a blonde-haired girl was focused on a book she had bought. Ais Wallenstein.


    Her friend Tiona had rmended the book. Tiona even offered to lend her the book, but Ais preferred to buy a copy to support the author.


    However, she was surprised when she read the author''s name. Luan was a name she remembered, although the surname Taylor wasn''t one she knew. But even without knowing Luan''s surname, she immediately connected the book to him.


    She was halfway through the book when she stopped reading. Soon after, Tiona entered her room.


    "Hm? Were you reading?"


    "I read up to the middle," Ais replied, indifferent. But deep down, she was happy. Happy with what she had just read.


    It was an excellent book, a new type of story she had never seen before. The best part for her was the story''s beginning, where a world that didn''t exist was shown, a world she had never heard of before.


    Did thate from Luan''s mind? He must be a genius.


    "What do you think? I like it. But... although I enjoyed the story, the protagonist annoyed me a few times. Sometimes I think he overreacts."


    "Hm? Do you think so? I find him quite human. Isn''t it normal for humans to act that way when they''re close to death?"


    "You think? Well, I still like it a lot. Unfortunately, now we''ll have to wait for the second book."


    "Hm? Second book?" Ais was confused, as she thought that was the only book that would be released and it would have an ending.


    "Yes, yes. This first book has an ''ending'', but there''s still a lot of story to tell. When I bought my book, they said there could be more than ten books in the future. I can''t wait to read the next one!" Tiona said excitedly.


    "I see… Amazing."


    "The author shouldn''t take too long to release the second book. Oh, and do you think that guy is the author?"


    "That Luan? I was thinking the same thing."


    "Why don''t you try talking to him? He said he found you very beautiful, maybe he''ll even let you read the second volume before it''s released, hehe."


    "He found me beautiful? You talked to him?"


    "Yes, I talked to him a few days ago."


    "I see. I''ll think about it."


    "Finish reading soon, I want to talk to you about the book!"


    Tiona left the room, and Ais smiled, looking at the book''s cover.
