Puppeteer in the DanMachi World Chapter 43

However, after completing Flight Magic, Ming Ge had gained a deep understanding of supplemental magic. Before long, he would be able to develop other types of supplemental magic.

Completing this magic had already proven his abilities, ensuring that Meitellia's family would not look down on him.

Moreover, he could make her family owe him a great favor—given Hera's temperament, even she had no reason to be dissatisfied.

"Finally, it's just the two of us."

Meitellia sat on Ming Ge's lap, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe and making his whole heart melt.

After completing Flight Magic, Alfia had returned to the Hera Familia.

Next would be the formal meeting with Hera.

Riveria generally did not live in the church, so tonight, it was finally just the two of them.

"Having others around is nice too, but time alone with just the two of us is necessary as well."

Seeing Meitellia's flushed face and seductive expression, Ming Ge gently wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered, "Alfia has already gone to the Hera Familia. Our relationship will soon be acknowledged."

Although the approval of Hera and her Familia was not necessary, it would still be better if things went smoothly.

Receiving her family's blessing would be a good thing for both Meitellia and Ming Ge.

There was no crucial difference either way. After all, no matter what the Hera Familia thought, Meitellia had already chosen him.

But if one could receive others' blessings, who would want to be met with cold stares?

Ming Ge slowly leaned closer to Meitellia, and she expectantly closed her eyes.

After a long while, the two gazed at each other, their eyes full of tenderness and smiles.

"Come to think of it, my body has gotten much better."

Hearing Meitellia's hint, Ming Ge picked her up and headed into the basement.

Meitellia's magic had improved quickly as well. Training at the level of climbing walls and walking on water had already been completed.

They could fully attempt positions that ordinary people could not manage.

Another two days passed.

Perhaps because they had gone so long without any private space, that delicate distance had created even stronger emotions.

Like blazing fire and red oil, it was exceptionally satisfying.

When Alfia came again, the two were holding hands and chatting intimately.

"That old hag Hera has decided to meet you."

Alfia entered the church, ignoring the strange feelings in her heart as she said, "That woman has a terrible temper and a vicious tongue. Be careful."

Hearing Alfia's concerned words, Ming Ge could not help but smile softly.

Meitellia's biological sister—his sister-in-law—was already on his side. She had probably put in a good word for him too.

It seemed the visit to the Hera Familia would not pose much of a problem.

Meeting the Mother-in-Law

"Are you nervous?"

As they walked, Meitellia asked.

"A little."

Ming Ge nodded, then smiled. "After all, they're Meitellia's family."

Not the strongest in the world, but Meitellia's family.

Hearing Ming Ge's words, Meitellia smiled faintly.

"Then we'll face them together."

She interlocked her fingers with Ming Ge's, and they looked exceptionally intimate.

Alfia glanced at them but said nothing.

Her little sister no longer belonged entirely to her... No, it would be more accurate to say that her strong little sister had never belonged to her from the very beginning.

Meitellia was the kind of person with strong opinions, perhaps even stronger than Alfia herself.

And during this time, Alfia had stopped reacting to such intimacy between the two of them. To her, it had become perfectly natural.

The three continued onward and soon arrived at the Hera Familia's residence.

The Hera Familia was enormous, residing in Orario's Seventh District and corresponding to the Zeus Familia.

Luxurious houses stood all around them, displaying the wealth of the world's strongest Familia.

Including support personnel, the Hera Familia had seven to eight hundred members in total, all of them women.

Led by Alfia, Ming Ge arrived at the Hera Familia's headquarters, a massive villa.

Very few men ever came to the Hera Familia. Even when there was official business to discuss, it was generally handled at the Zeus Familia instead.

Even Zeus himself—no... precisely because it was Zeus, Hera was even more likely to bar him from the door.

Unlike the promiscuous Zeus, Hera was a very traditional woman and an advocate of monogamy.

As for Ming Ge... he was an advocate of pure love.

"Welcome."

Two guards stood at the entrance. Through the probing wave, Ming Ge could tell that both were Level 2 adventurers.

Using Level 2 adventurers as gatekeepers was something only the world's strongest Familia could do.

In fact, even the supporters of the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia generally needed the strength of Level 2 adventurers.

For example, Kroni abandoning his companions should originally have been a very serious matter. But if the companions he abandoned were Level 6 to Level 8, beings in the realm of heroes, then it was another matter entirely.

After all, for weak supporters, preserving their own lives during an expedition was the first priority.

"This feels rather strange."

Ming Ge entered the Hera Familia, sighing inwardly.
