Love and Fire – (3)

“…So you’re saying you’re going to divorce Hephaestus and Aphrodite and create a new pair?”

“Yes, wouldn’t it be easier to persuade Zeus if you help me?”

Let’s explain calmly. Hera quickly realized that it was not a rebellion.

She regains her composure as the queen of the gods, slouches in her chair and folds her arms.

“Do you think it’s right to ask the goddess of family to help destroy a family, Hades?”

“But don’t you know that it was a shabby, unstable marriage from the start?”

Hera’s brow furrows slightly.

“Isn’t it the duty of the Goddess of Family to find them a new, harmonious home?”

“Hmm… I guess you could look at it that way.”

“Hephaestus has also given up on Aphrodite. If you find him a new home, he will shed tears of gratitude for his mother’s grace.”

Hephaestus was thrown onto the island of Lemnos by Hera immediately after his birth.

Fortunately, he is reflecting a lot on it now.

“I think the fundamental reason for what happened between Hephaestus and Athena was that he was not satisfied with his relationship with Aphrodite. Because of that, he had children with Gaia… If Gaia were to appear in front of Hephaestus dressed up beautifully…”

“You can fall for beauty?”

“Even if it’s not a betrayal, wouldn’t it be okay if it were just a leak of information or a small favor?”

This incident must have been quite a shock to Hera, as she was quite fond of Athena.

Just a little more persuasion…

“And it is said that Zeus brought a boy named Ganymedes…”

“Ugh! Now he’s even touching men! Am I supposed to be pushed around by men now?!”

The goddess of the family, whose once relaxed expression suddenly changes and she becomes angry.

Did you really bring me to Olympus because of my looks?

“Ahem. Anyway… Zeus himself is a lover… Anyway, he touches people of the same sex because of their appearance, but isn’t he actually suppressing the love of Aphrodite and Ares?”

“That’s definitely true.”

“And if you help me this time, Aphrodite may repay you by being able to connect with Ares. That means the goddess of love will…”

“You can tell me how to get Zeus’ attention back from that little human brat?”

“That’s it. If things go well, I’ll tell the goddess of love that you helped her a lot.”

Aphrodite lends him her magical belt, Cestos Himas…

Or, as the goddess who rules over love, giving advice would be beneficial to Hera.

“Okay, I’ll add my opinion too.”

“While we’re on the subject, let’s go right away.”

So, as they headed towards Zeus with Poseidon and Hera, they saw the king of the gods lying in his spacious bedroom taking a nap.

Poseidon approaches Zeus and speaks to him, trying to wake him up.

“Wake up, Zeus.”

“Hmm..?!”

But as soon as Zeus opened his eyes and saw Poseidon…

“Who… Poseidon, Hera, and you too?”

A god of the sky who stands up with lightning in his hands from a lying position.

In an instant, a huge building explodes and a fierce lightning bolt reveals its presence in his hand.

Flash-kurururung!!!

“…Another rebellion!!! Poseidon, if you plan on challenging me again, then come at me!”

“No, it’s a misunderstanding…”

“Haa… It’s not what you think, Zeus.”

“…Huh, Brother Hades? Then it’s not a rebellion…”

Amidst the storm of divine power swirling from all directions, I placed my hand on my forehead.

* * *

“…the divorce of Hephaestus and Aphrodite?”

“Yeah, so put that lightning down. If I had come to rebel, I would have come wearing a Quine!”

Only then did Poseidon, with a pouty expression, take out Triaina, and Hera, who looked dumbfounded.

Zeus, who saw me resting my head behind them, quietly made the lightning disappear.

“No… Ahem! If Poseidon came while I was sleeping, how could I not think of it as a rebellion?”

“Of course, it is a situation that can be misunderstood, but since it is Aphrodite’s business, we gathered our opinions among ourselves.”

It feels strange to be having this conversation in a building that has just been blown up.

The gods around me are chattering, and I see Hermes flying towards me urgently…

“Haa… Let’s move first.”

“…That would be a good idea.”

So I came into the quiet room.

Poseidon, I, Hera, and Zeus are sitting around a round table.

I painstakingly explained to Zeus the reasons for Hephaestus and Aphrodite’s divorce.

Hephaestus was so driven that he tried to rape Athena, if this continued, wouldn’t he fall for it when Gaia showed up dressed up…

Just like that, I exposed my affair with Ares at the last art festival…

The goddess of beauty also gave birth to Harmonia with Ares, and now Hephaestus has also given up on Aphrodite…

Zeus, who had been thinking for a while, looked at me and asked a question.

“But why is my brother interfering in those two’s affairs like this?”

“…It’s so sad to see that. My nephew has made so many things for me.”

“That viand thing was a bit sharp…”

Poseidon brought up the story of Bydant.

Yes, no weapon can keep up with a single viand…

“If Hephaestus had abandoned the goddess of beauty… then it might be morally right to divorce them. But…”

“Is it because you’re worried that the other male gods will fight over her?”

“That’s what worries me, if I go back on my decision and change my words…”

The weight of the words spoken by the King of Gods is lost.

That’s exactly why they haven’t divorced yet.

Of course, he might have thought of Hephaestus’ merits, and he might have also thought that he would stop cheating someday…

It is also due to a mix of circumstances.

“Then we can help you a little. Right, Poseidon?”

“Well, if you just show some moderate agreement…”

“I will allow it. They have never had a happy family life…”

Zeus strokes his beard again and ponders.

“Will it be possible to suppress the opposition of numerous male gods?”

“…Send those who are very dissatisfied to the afterlife. Those who are crazy about the goddess and have their eyes turned towards her will be well-educated.”

“Is that okay? Leaving too much work to the afterlife…”

“Passing on the work? Isn’t that reducing it?”

Actually, I don’t think there are many people like that.

Who would dare to openly express their discontent when Zeus, Poseidon, and even Hera are threatening us?

“…Okay. I guess I should do that. Then call Hephaestus from the underworld for a moment, and I will summon the gods of Olympus as well.”

“Yeah, I thought about it carefully.”

* * *

“…After much deliberation, I have decided that it is time to end the relationship between Hephaestus and Aphrodite.”

In a gathering of most of the gods, Zeus announced their divorce.

Let’s see… Aphrodite couldn’t hide her joy, Hephaestus sighed and stood silently.

“Hephaestus, I would like to introduce you to a new wife. How about Aglaea, the goddess of radiance?”

“Yes. I will follow my father’s will…”

Aglaea, the goddess of radiance.

She is one of the three goddesses born from Zeus and Eurynome, the daughter of Oceanus, the Titan god who rules over the ocean.

A turquoise-haired goddess of great beauty waves to Hephaestus.

The blacksmith’s god looked at her face and seemed moderately satisfied.

Although she is not as beautiful as Aphrodite, she is still very beautiful…

Aglaia sneaks out through the gods and links arms with Hephaestus, smiling.

“Hephaestus!”

“Um. Okay…”

“The necklace you made me last time was really pretty!”

Hephaestus is the god of blacksmiths, but he is also the god of fire and volcanoes, so he has a very high status.

No matter how ugly his face is… there’s no way a male god who is one of the 12 Olympian gods and the eldest son of Zeus would not be in demand.

Aphrodite and Ares were rather delighted…

The problem, as expected, is the male gods. It started with Hermes’ question.

“I… Father. But didn’t you say it last time? Aphrodite’s husband is Hephaestus…”

At those words, Zeus frowns fiercely and glares at Ares and Aphrodite.

“Those guys are in a really do-or-die relationship… Tsk! Didn’t they give birth to Harmonia and Eros too?”

Ares and Aphrodite didn’t show any sign of displeasure under Zeus’ gaze.

Rather, he shrugs his shoulders as if he is willing to accept this level of criticism.

“It was my mistake to force an unwanted love! However, anyone who causes an excessive quarrel by talking nonsense to Aphrodite will be struck by Zeus’ thunderbolt!”

Gurrrrrr!

Zeus’ strong threat, and beside him, Poseidon, I, and Hera were watching the gods.

Now the lesser gods will no longer fight to possess Aphrodite.

I should tell Aphrodite to be moderate in seducing the male gods…

Even though Ares can’t help it, the seeds of conflict must be tamed.

But still… there are some high-ranking deities who are blinded by the beauty of the goddess of love, and this is the problem.

“Aphrodite, if Ares ever gets tired of you…”

“Hermes. Aphemosyne, the granddaughter of Minos whom you were forced to have sex with, is in the underworld… Where should I bring her?”

“Huh?! No, that’s…”

“Ahem, Uncle Hades. Unlike Hermes, I make Aphrodite happy…”

“Apollo, Daphne, who was turned into a tree because of you, will cry in the underworld.”

“It’s not because of Eros’ arrow…

Poseidon gave up… and there was another guy with a serious look in his eyes…

Yeah, there’s Dionysus.

Call-

…::;;

Dionysus turned his head away from me as I raised my eyes and gave a silent signal.

Oh yeah… The underworld is full of people who went mad and died because of your festival of madness.

“Ahahaha…”

Ares… had already had children, so he just passed over them… and looked around at the other gods one last time.

Let’s see, the wind gods, or the river gods, or the earth goddess Demeter…

Wait a minute, aren’t most of these just self-indulgent rascals?

First of all, Zeus, the king of gods…

“…Hmm. Hmm! This concludes the meeting for now! The wedding of Hephaestus and Aglaia will be held in Olympus…”

There are so many gods on Olympus, so why are there so few normal gods?
