The Banquet, Goddess Loki!

Chapter 52 - The Banquet, Goddess Loki!

Tonight's banquet, although initiated by a god, is actually just an activity for some idle gods to pass the time and is far from being as 'serious' as outsiders might think.

However, just like there are classes among people, the same applies to gods.

In theory, all gods can attend such banquets, but those who are not doing well generally do not attend, as it's easy to be ridiculed since most gods are playful creatures.

The host of this banquet is Apollo Familia, who in Orario, is considered a second-class familia.

Apollo Familia has many members but lacks high-end combat power, with the strongest being only a level 3 adventurer, which is a huge gap compared to first-class familias.

In a nutshell, Apollo Familia is inferior to the best but superior to the worst.

'Tap—Tap—'

With crisp footsteps, Freya, dressed in an ink-colored cheongsam, walked into the banquet hall.

By this time, many gods had already arrived, gathering in pairs or groups, chatting and laughing, as these types of banquets are inherently places to pass time.

"Eh? Is that Freya?"

"Freya? Where?"

"She looks so beautiful today, Freya, she truly deserves to be the goddess of beauty."

"What is she wearing? It looks so pretty!"

"A new type of dress? I've never seen anything like it before, where did she buy it?"

…

Some people are born protagonists, and Freya is just such a person.

The moment she stepped in, she became the center of attention of the entire banquet.

Freya has long been accustomed to high-profile appearances.

"Yo, Freya, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

A short-haired goddess in a black dress came over, seemingly having a good relationship with Freya.

However, the other party owned an 'airport' of her own, which makes people unable to arouse even a slight trace of 'interest'.

"It has indeed been a long time, Loki."

Seeing the approaching figure, Freya also smiled and greeted.

Hearing Freya's address, Ethan couldn't help but look over, and indeed, this was Loki, just like in the 'anime', hard to distinguish between male and female.

"Hm? Boy, what's with that look?"

Women, especially goddesses, are very sensitive to certain types of gazes.

Ethan's 'pitying' gaze was as obvious as a candle in the dark to Loki.

One can only say that even a goddess is not 'perfect'.

"Nothing, goddess Loki!"

Facing Loki, Ethan vehemently denied, of course, how could he admit such a thing, that would be suicidal behavior.

"Humph! You kid, I haven't seen you before, you wouldn't be Freya's 'new love', would you?"

The other party hit Ethan's sore spot with one comment.

He and Freya were completely innocent. At most, he might have been slightly flirtatious, but the other's imagined 'night service' never happened.

"Loki!"

On this side, Ethan hadn't spoken, but Freya interrupted.

Although the two had a cooperative relationship and got along well privately, some things shouldn't be said so casually, especially in a banquet hall.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything anymore."

Rebuked by Freya, Loki quickly waved her hands and said.

However, Ethan noticed that many gods' gazes had already shifted to their side, obviously, Ethan Starfall, this handsome boy, had caught the attention of many male gods.

After all, being favored by a beautiful goddess, especially the goddess of beauty like Freya, is no small matter.

"By the way, Freya, where did you get this dress?"

Loki changed the subject, asking Freya directly about the source of the cheongsam.

Obviously, the elegant cheongsam from another world was a game-changer in this world, and for fun-seeking goddesses, such a new style of attire was extremely attractive.

"This? It was a gift from my child, I don't know where it was made~"

Speaking of the cheongsam, Freya immediately smiled, then glanced at Ethan next to her.

The implication was clear, indicating that the dress was a gift from Ethan.

"Hmm? Boy, are you the one who gave it to her?"

This time, Loki's gaze turned to Ethan, with a flash of realization in her eyes.

No wonder he could accompany Freya all the time.

The boy's ability to win the heart of a goddess was not to be underestimated.

Not to mention anything else, at tonight's banquet, she's afraid no other goddess can compare to Freya in terms of appearance, although it was almost the same before.

"Yes, goddess Loki!"

"You kid, where was this dress made?"

"Sorry, goddess Loki, this style of dress is from my hometown; there's no one selling it in Orario."

"Your hometown?"

"Yes."

"What is this dress called?"

"Cheongsam!"

"Cheongsam, unique name, I'll remember it."

Loki nodded, though she didn't believe Ethan's words.

Orario is the center of this world, the most bustling labyrinth city, gathering people from all parts of the world; just a piece of clothing, she didn't believe it couldn't be found here.

Freya watched this scene, her lips slightly curled up.

She is a goddess, but like any woman, she enjoys the special feeling of having something unique – a sign of her vanity.

Then, as the conversation between goddesses continued, it wasn't appropriate for Ethan to stay, and since it was a banquet, he decided to find a place to eat as he hadn't had dinner yet.

However, just as he found a spot and picked up some pastries to nibble on, a 'young' looking man came over, with golden short hair, looking very handsome and cute.

Though 'cute' might not be the right term to describe him.

"Hello, I'm Finn Deimne, the captain of Loki Familia."

"I'm Ethan Starfall, a member of Freya Familia."

Seeing the other party, Ethan was a bit puzzled, not understanding why this person was seeking him out.

Finn's status in Loki Familia was comparable to Ottar in Freya Familia, second only to goddess Loki herself, truly a leader figure.

"I've always wanted to meet you; just never had the chance." Finn smiled and spoke.

"Meet me? What do you need from me, Captain Finn?" Ethan asked, a bit puzzled.

"Just call me Finn; it's an old friend of mine who often mentions your name." Finn said.

"Old friend?" Now, Ethan was even more puzzled.

"That's Edward Hendy, from the Hephaestus Familia." Finn explained.

"Whitebeard? You know each other?" Ethan was surprised.

"Yes, if the 'whitebeard' you mean is Edward Hendy. We've been friends for over a decade now. He and Gareth from our Familia are old buddies. I've gotten to know him over the years – how time flies!" Finn sighed.

Ethan was shocked; he had not expected the old dwarf he had casually met to have such great connections.
