Freya's Ending

What is beauty?

They say beauty belongs to the Eye's Beholder. But can it be said the same to the ugly? The worthless and dregs of humanity? The ugly will never attain the beauty he wishes, he can only watch it from afar and admire it.

What is Beauty other than tragedy?

When Judas finds conversing with the personification of beauty. Judas couldn't help but feel sick in the stomach and feel something wrong. Then he remembered his past life.

What is beauty other than tragedy?

From ancient times to modern day. Beauty was nothing but the downfall of man and god. Lucifer thought he was perfect, better, and more beautiful than Adam and rebelled. The modern man seeks to indulge himself in wealth and surround himself with beautiful things. When Satan tricked Eve, did Adam expect the beauty of innocent life to remain unchanged?

What is beauty other than tragedy?

The witch pathway represents beauty. But it also represents the tragedy. The "ugly" seeks to be beautiful. And so they threw away their entire being in exchange for beauty.

Beauty is the tragedy of the ugly.

All beings seek beauty in all forms. The promised beautiful utopia is built by the endless corpses of mankind. The classic ugly villain who was rejected by the princess who ran away with the hero. The wish to enter the kingdom of god where the promised everlasting peace can come, but all the ugly will be thrown down the blazing fire of hell to lament.

In the end... Judas despite becoming a beyonder. Still stays true to his core.

Beauty is the tragedy of mankind. And so when asked by the objective beauty, Judas already had an answer in his heart.

_________________________________________________

Judas, of course, did not tell her everything about beyonders. Just half-truths. She asked whether there were other pathways, and Judas answered yes, but did not tell any other pathway names. After all, he's only a low sequencer, she better ask the secretive "Joker" instead. He didn't even tell her anything about acting, let alone bothering with her with deeper beyonder laws.

"No. I'm not interested in joining your familia."

Judas couldn't help but spat disgust at her suggestion. Does she expect me to kowtow to her like all the members of her familia? No thanks.

"Is that so... "

Freya looked visibly sad. If it's any other men. They would have jumped in at any moment. Followed every wag of her fingers like dogs. But Judas is Judas.

"Dealing with you is honestly troublesome and tiring. I'd rather spend time at Orario's red district and I'd still know what I can get. But you..."

Judas didn't finish, he'd rather not. Although the Goddess looked pitiful a moment ago. She sighed and returned to her original calm.

"This is the first time, I have been treated this way. I do not know if I should get you killed or be happy finding such a unique person."

"I'd rather if you don't do both."

Judas only snorted. He knows what kind of crazy person the Goddess of Beauty is. He is better off not getting involved with her.

"Very well, Lupin. I'm also interested in the school and organization you built. I can invest in it as long as the "Joker" lets me become a founder."

"Talk to "Terry". He is in charge of it now."

Judas waved his hands in agreement with her, got close to the glass wall, and looked at the street below. In truth, the school he was building was meant to screen the future beyonders, the charity organization was to get in connection with poor families and build an intelligence network. He doesn't like how he doesn't know the constantly changing Orario's faction. It wasn't all without benefits. The

"It has been a long day. I gotta go, Goddess-sama."

"Why don't you sp-"

Before Freya could speak, Judas passed through the glass wall and fell.

"I hope we don't see each other again, Goddess of Love!"

Judas left, realizing that he and the Goddess would never get along.

Freya rushed to the glass wall. She looked down. Being left alone in her room Freya said the following. She looked a bit sad.

"Has my taste changed so much in a short period that I find my heart skipping a beat for a lowly rogue?"

Freya rang her bell and Ottar soon came in. A glimpse of shock in eyes that soon disappeared. Not expecting that Judas was already gone. Freya noticed it but simply dismissed it. No one expected Judas to jump out of Babel. Not even Ottar it seems.

"Do you want us to look for him Freya-sama?"

"No need. He had already left unexpectedly."

Freya pointed at the things she had received. She had already lost interest in those things.

"You can have the belt, it suits you my pet. The potion? Send it to the treasury. Maybe it can be used later... The defenses of Babel, need to be upgraded, I don't want this "Joker" thinking we're easy targets."

Ottar kneeling nods his head.

"It will be done."

_________________________________________________

The issue of school can be handed down to Jack and Vi. Even though they can't remember the past. They still have knowledge and common sense. Like they know what 1+1 is but don't know who they learned it from. Judas thought about awakening. He wished he was sleepless at this moment, that way he didn't need to sleep.

After a good night's rest, Judas finally feels recharged to get back to the issue of digestion. He began making lists of his possible targets and started thinking. Most of his targets were evilus familia. But one is different. And more dangerous. But clearly, the payoff will be better. The problem is he can't approach them casually.

Evilus members are still on the lookout for him and so is this familia. After thinking about it. The answer was simple, he needed to muddy the waters between the two. Then he can come in as a third party.

For my new identity. That familia seems to be interested in guns. Then a weapon dealer. Let's think of a good name.

Let's make a gun sales pitch to evilus and Loki Familia.

Thank you for reading

AN:This is a short chapter. This ends Freya's arc. Loki's arc is next. But I got to rewatch and reread Danmachi since I forgot how Loki Familia acted. They are more fleshed out than Freya's familia. I don't want to get it wrong so I'll do that in a while. So I'll take another "short" break. Also need to read the new LOTM.

Chapter end.
