Hephaestus — memorable quote from Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

“The real sin is averting your eyes and failing to believe in anyone.”

“Yeah, we've become friends. When you're in the same party, there will be times when things don't go smoothly, when you get angry, and when you fight. But they really are your precious friends. It doesn't matter why you became friends, but that you are friends at this moment.”

“Being rivals does not mean being an enemy.”

“...Don't treat me as a fool, you pervert woman ...Why do I have to prioritize you over my friends?”

“Look, you. All this talk about monsters...that's what people have called me ever since I was a kid. I've snapped and lost sight of everything around me, and I've made trouble for Celty more than once or twice. Even so, she still heard me out, without interrupting. And so now it's my turn to hear her out, all right?”
