Great Orcus Labyrinth.

"Is that all? You know we will go back to that world again later on, right? Ragnarok might be over, but the grievances between mankind and gods still remain," Scathach explained and patted Yue's shoulder. 

"Fine... but I will participate in that," Yue stated and looked at the group of people who were watching her and Scathach with confusion and fear. 

[Leave them here, there are some events they will trigger.]

Azu advised out of nowhere, making Scathach and Yue nod. 

"Aiko, if I go back to earth, I will be sure to check out the locations you told me about. Also, these people aren't good from your point of view, but they would take care of you and your students," Scathach suggested as she looked straight into Aiko's eyes, who was confused. 

"And, I hope to meet you again," Scathach said her goodbyes and left the place with Yue, who floated beside her. 

Yue, after leaving the place, snapped her fingers, making Scathach look at her curiously. "...? Oh right, you don't have your powers and stuff. When I came through the portal, I froze all present to the point they wouldn't be able to talk or make sudden moves. I didn't want to get interrupted or get into drama," Yue explained, making Scathach widen her eyes. 

"I see... I didn't notice it at all... Looks like I will have to work on my senses again," Scathach remarked as a glint of determination and awareness shone in her eyes. 

Scathach and Yue made their way out using Yue's teleportation, directly appearing in the mountains behind the kingdom. "Where do we go now? The Great Labyrinths? They are the only place that would possibly give us a challenge," Yue asked.

"I have no knowledge of this world, so you lead the way." Scathach shrugged. 

Both Yue and Scathach walked aimlessly, Yue in thought while Scathach kept tabs on the surroundings. 

"Let's go to the Great Labyrinths... I can't think of much. I may have left this world for a few days, but 300 years have already passed here... so I am clueless," Yue gave up, and Scathach gave an understanding nod. 

Both headed to the dungeon, and the only dungeon Yue knew of was the one she was sealed in: the Great Orcus Labyrinth. "Let's go directly to the place I was sealed at; I don't know where to go to reach the dungeon from here," 

Yue opened a portal and stepped through, arriving at the place she was sealed in. The walls glowed with vines that slithered gracefully. Yue looked at this familiar place with a blank face. Her eyes fell on the cube that sealed her, floating as it glowed in a golden hue in the center of the room. 

Scathach stepped out of the portal and looked at the room they were in curiously. "So, this is the place you were sealed in?" Scathach asked as she analyzed the whole room. Yue nodded and walked over to the cube she was sealed in and flicked it, making it crumble. 

"I was so desperate back then... but now that I look at this place... I could have broken out of this place," Yue muttered, her tone reflective and regretful, looking at the pattern of magic flow in the place. 

Scathach looked up at the ceiling. The vines covered it well, but she was able to sense it. "Is that the guardian of this place? Seems pretty useless," she commented. 

Yue glanced at the scorpions on the ceiling and looked at the door. "The door needs to be opened with the keys. And until that isn't done, it won't react to anything," Yue analyzed as she walked to the door and simply ripped it off and tossed it at the gatekeepers. 

The gatekeeper died on impact, and Yue walked out. Her powers weren't suppressed like Scathach's, so she still had her level 8 Danmachi status. 

Scathach hurled her spear straight at the head of the scorpion that was sleeping and killed it without resistance. 

Scathach's power level increased, making her pause and analyze what had just happened. "So, you get stronger the more you kill?" she muttered. 

---------Danmachi---------

"So? What do you want to know?" Regal asked as he gazed at Freya, whose eyes glowed pink. "No matter how much you try, you will see the same soul, the same purple and black," Regal remarked, making Freya look into his eyes. 

"Just who are you people?" Freya couldn't help but ask as she could not understand them, not even a bit. "The people now call your Familia the Land of Rular, the Familia of myth and legend, and all sorts of names... but I have noticed something... No one refers to your Familia as the Buddha Familia," 

Regal smiled, "You should have read the storybooks that have been popping out of nowhere, right? Well, those storybooks are the legends of the members of the 'Buddha Familia.' They were meant to be a little teaser from a pink fox," he commented, leaning back. 

"I see, but out of all the books I have obtained, there is nothing about you or the new faces I see in the 'Buddha Familia.' Would you mind telling me about them~?" Freya smilingly asked, trying to keep herself under control. 

"I don't mind, but let's make a trade," Regal snapped his finger, and his mana formed three figures on the table. "You are very adept at training new blood. I will tell you what you want if you train them in your own way. How about it? You can be as brutal as you want; they only need to be alive." Regal made his offer, and Freya's eyes sparkled. 

"Fufufu, if that is all, then I would be more than happy, but I can't guarantee they won't be traumatized or possibly never be able to adventure again~" She playfully said and waited for Regal's reaction. 

Regal smiled in amusement, "Sure, they aren't so weak as to be diverted from their goals. They might be kids, but they aren't fragile." He confidently stated, making Freya smile brightly. 

"Otter, leave us be," she ordered, and Otter unhesitatingly left, not even giving Regal or Freya a glance. "I have wondered for a very long time now and kept going back and forth on this, but... why is it my charm doesn't work on you? Why are you able to resist my arcanum?" she seriously questioned as her eyes glowed intently. 

"Simple, I just didn't feel like getting charmed~! You do interest me, but not so much for me to make a move~!" Regal cheerily replied, making Freya pause.

"...hahahahahaha~!" Freya laughed heartily, and she stood up. She smiled brightly, making Regal a little caught off guard. "Never have I ever been so put down like that," Freya got up and walked in front of Regal, who looked in amusement. "Let's stop the questioning—"

"No need," 

Regal cut her off and pulled her directly onto his lap, "I like that free spirit you show. If only you weren't so stuck up on 'ODR,' I might have already eaten you up..." He whispered as he pulled Freya by the waist, making their bodies stick to each other. 

"Oh, my, hasty, are we~" Freya leaned in, not caring about anything more than who was in front of her. 

Regal placed a finger on her lips, "Not yet. I don't mind playing as your Odr... but you will have to try a little harder. I definitely didn't miss that obsessive glance you threw at me, and knowing you, I will bet what you want isn't me but to know what makes me unique."

Regal, in a swift motion, changed their position. Freya sat where Regal was, with Regal's face just inches away from her. "The game you are playing might just make you lose all but also gain more than you can imagine," Regal stated and walked off, leaving a furiously blushing Freya behind. 

But just before he was about to leave, he turned. "Also, don't think I will let you off that easy. Feel free to come by my residence and ask what you want," he said and disappeared. 

Freya sat there, not being able to understand what had transpired. "I acted out of my character..." she muttered, and her blushing expression changed to a more serious one, but there was still a little pink on her cheeks.
