Unpaid Debt (story)

Hestia has been working very hard as an assistant in the armory of Hephaestus' family to pay off her debt of 200,000,000 valis that she accepted in exchange for the knife that Hephaestus herself made.  However, it has not been easy for Hestia to pay this debt since she does not usually use her family's earnings to pay off the debt since this debt is personal, only hers, and not a debt of her family.

However, time goes by and no matter how much time Hestia works for Hephaestus, no matter how many years go by, she does not end up paying that debt so numerous and the debt begins to generate interest because of the late payment of the debt, which makes her think that perhaps she might have to be Hephaestus' slave forever, having now to look for a solution to this.

So, Hestia goes to visit Hephaestus in her workshop to talk about the debt, maybe there is a way to pay it in less time. Hestia thought that perhaps Hephaestus would be understanding and forgive part of the debt or something, however she was in for a surprise when she found Hephaestus upset that Hestia had not been coming to work at her family's store for several days. Hestia nervously argued that she was busy with family matters, but Hephaestus didn't seem to mind this so much and, on the contrary, told her that by missing these days, the debt not only didn't go down, but the interests made it grow even more. To Hestia's relief, Hephaestus proposed a solution: to work full time in her family's weapon store for a while in order to pay off the debt faster, an offer that Hestia accepted without thinking much about how she would have to work full time.

Minutes later Hestia finds herself lying in a box inserted in the middle of a custom-made container while a strange mixture of a new shiny and firm magical material begins to fall on Hestia from a giant cauldron, as Hestia struggles in fright after being restrained and shackled to the place. Hestia had agreed to work time to pay off her debt, but no one told her she was going to be doing that job full time as a weapon store dummy, something that terrifies Hestia greatly.

Hours after Hestia was completely covered with that magical material and any leftovers or imperfections were discarded and polished until Hestia was perfectly covered in that new material from another world, which Hephaestus calls plastic, Hestia was duly cleaned and polished, becoming perfectly immobile, even though Hestia was still somehow aware of her surroundings even though her eyes were covered in that material since after all she is a goddess and something like that would not hurt her that much.

On the other hand Hephaestus was playing and moving the mobile joints of the new dummy as much as her new joints and the flexibility that the new material allows, being proud of her work and feeling more curious about this new material, as she had never used it before since normally in the forging of weapons they usually use metals and other types of minerals, even that definitely even that this material causes curiosity in Hephaestus, she sees that it is too soft to be used in a weapon, and to make a weapon in that material would be useless, even that at least it has served to force Hestia to stay there immobile all the time to force her to do her shift of complete time until paying that so numerous debt.

The next day, when Hephaestus opens the weapon store, there is something that captures the attention of numerous customers, that mannequin mysteriously resembling Hestia wearing an armor that look like very revealing lingerie and attracting many new customers, while Hestia dies of embarrassment as the looks of perverted customers invade her and see all her almost naked body from top to bottom, Hestia feeling very embarrassed and ashamed and at the same time thinking that maybe she would have paid the debt faster if she had suggested that for each purchase of each customer who looked at her she would have received a commission that would go towards paying the debt, although Hestia did not have time to tell Hephaestus that, even though she did not know that she would do her full time service as a mannequin behind a window to attract new customers anyway.

Hestia would think that she couldn't make her situation worse right now while a group of perverted adventurers stick to the window to see the mannequin in a more detailed way, moving their hands almost as if they could touch the mannequin's breasts, causing much discomfort in Hestia, even that was worse for her that situation when she saw Bell, who was passing by, approached when she noticed the great resemblance that the mannequin had with Hestia, Hestia feeling very sorry that Bell had to see her in that situation, even wondering herself if Bell would discover that the mannequin was Hestia, especially because Bell would not find Hestia the next morning.

However, to Hestia's bad luck, Bell not only stopped for a few minutes to appreciate the mannequin and, even though he noticed the resemblance to Hestia, he did not think that the mannequin was Hestia herself, but figured that Hestia would be somewhere else doing some errand for Hephaestus if Hestia is not working in the store at that time, so minutes later Bell leaves since he has several things to do besides looking for Hestia (not knowing that the mannequin is Hestia).

Hestia is greatly disappointed that Bell could not distinguish between a common mannequin and her turned into a mannequin, and she only watches in anger and hysterics as Bell turns her back and walks away from there while leaving her prey to the degenerate looks of those idle and idle adventurers, who do not even go to the store to buy a weapon like some others do but only stand there watching the mannequin while they fantasize about what they would do with the mannequin.

Thus, past several days in which Hestia had to be a mannequin, at least with the days she had already begun to get used to be defiled by the sight of unpleasant adventurers, and surely Bell would not take long to look for her and find her since she has been missing for several days. Definitely, Hestia thinks, if they couldn’t make things any worse even if they tried, until she hears two people sneaking into the weapon tent at night. It seems that Hestia's bad luck ups the ante, as two thieves grab her and run away with her from the store.
