Chapter 5 - Casual encounter and Rejection

The next morning. 

As the morning sun slowly rises from the horizon, more passersby gradually fill the streets of Orario, many of whom are adventurers preparing to venture into the dungeon.

When he arrived in Orario, Link was naturally ready to become an adventurer.

Yawning, Link rubbed his eyes and left the warm embrace of the Amazon girl. He got out of bed, dressed, and headed downstairs. After arranging his money, he left the brothel.

That night's experience wasn't cheap: it cost him 10,000 Valis.

But the service was excellent , the people were kind, and there was plenty of water, so it was worth it.

Plus, he was not short on money. Thanks to the daily Gacha system, he still had plenty of gold in the system space. This hard currency could be exchanged for the transaction currency used in this world , now amounting to a significant sum of over 4 million.

After leaving the 'Night Street', facing the rising sun, Link sought a place to have breakfast on the street and considered which 'Family' he would join first later.

After all, only those who join a 'Clan Family' and become adventurers can enter the dungeon to hunt and continuously improve. 

...

The warm rising sun shines on the towering Tower of Babel. 

Freya, the goddess of beauty, sat on her soft and comfortable sofa, gazing out at the mortal world and admiring the sunrise.

What appeared before her were ordinary souls in mixed hues and bright colors. She didn't see any intriguing prey to pass the time.

Freya's interest waned as she looked into the distance casually...

On the street at the entrance of the Street of Night, the territory of the 'Ishtar' clan with which she had little interaction , Freya noticed a distinctive splash of color.

Huh? 

The goddess of beauty took a closer look , her face turning pale as she stood up from the sofa in surprise.

"How... can such a soul exist?!" 

It wasn ' t the "red" common to brave men and hero, nor the "gray" or "black" typical of common or evil people. What appeared before her eyes was a soul Freya had never seen before!

It was a blank nothingness devoid of any color-a colorless soul!

But it was so bright! 

Freya's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly ; her legs came together and rubbed gently, a sickly blush spreading across her face as if she had reached an orgasm.

Such a unique and exceptional soul...

She must have him!

...

After finding the restaurant, Link began to think while eating the food. He also recalled the information about the various families of Orario that he had received from Eina earlier.

After pondering for a while, Link chose the Loki Family.

Of course, this wasn't due to Link's impulsiveness, but rather a result of his careful consideration after combining his memories from the anime in his previous life with the information he had gathered now. 

Initially , Link wanted to choose Hestia.

Who doesn't like big breasts and twin tails?

Although he wished to join the Hestia Familia, according to the current timeline, Hestia should have descended to Earth and remained with the goddess Hephaestus, the goddess of forging. 

The Freya Familia, like the Apollo Familia, are harem families.

Apollo would never consider that Link was not a man-to-man lover. 

Regarding the Freya Familia, judging from the current information, the internal struggles for affection are more serious , and the resulting pressure would be great. On the other hand, Link cannot accept Freya.

Hephaestus is a main goddess with a relatively perfect personality. As the strongest forging faction in Orario, her Family holds a transcendent status.

 However, nearly all members of the Familia are blacksmiths, and Link has no plans to become a forger, which deviates from his intended path for future development. 

It shouldn't be difficult to join the Ishtar Familia, but Link estimated that Ishtar and the large toad would devour him until only bones remained .

That is Ishtar, primarily the toad spirit, which is unpleasant to behold .

The Hermes Family - the male god is merely a non-interventionist merchant, not trustworthy enough .

Then there's the Ganesha Family... Link felt a little embarrassed thinking about that, "I am Ganesha," but it could serve as an alternative.

The Takemikazuchi Family can also function as a substitute.

 The Loki Family, as one of the strongest combat factions in the city, can provide solid protection for Link. The Loki Family is also relatively united within itself . It remains an exploration-type Family, and the main goddess is fairly trustworthy, which aligns more closely with Link's current circumstances .

And, most importantly, there are also Ais, Tiona, and Riveria within the Family…

When the time comes, he will definitely be able to approach the ladies and enjoy their company!

Thinking of the beautiful girls in the plot, Link couldn't help but feel excited. He quickly finished his breakfast and set out .

...

Shops were lined up on both sides of the street , and Link couldn't help but look around.

Humans, beast-tailed girls, elves, Pallums...

As time passed, the streets grew busier . Humans and demi-humans of various races came and went. 

Although he had seen more beautiful high-rise buildings, larger crowds , and more advanced means of transportation in the city of steel in his previous life, at this moment, Link still felt a sense of novelty about the prosperity here.

As he wandered around the city, he collected information and checked maps, then rushed to the 'Twilight Mansion, ' the base of the Loki Family.

"Loki?!"

Suddenly, an exclamation came from not far away. 

"Ah, it really is you, little! Wow, it's really bad, you're here too." 

Link walked over and saw the two pillar goddesses facing each other.

"Little, looking at your rustic dress, you just came down from heaven, right? Are you planning to live in Orario?"

"Eh, so what?" 

…

The big-breasted loli goddess, who had just left the world , and the petty, flat-chested goddess were complaining to each other.

The two goddesses were arguing and fighting as they confronted one another , pulling at each other's cheeks and hair... The scene was a bit unsightly.

The passersby watched this scene with great interest. After all, it was rare for two women to fight.

Although Loki lost the fight because she was envious of the little one in front of her and had a big heart, she soon surprised Hestia with her family and status in Orario.

In the end, the busty goddess Loli could only grit her teeth reluctantly. 

"Haha, let's go!" 

Seeing Hestia's deflated appearance, Loki looked excited and waved her hand to leave with the Family childs. 

Link, who was watching from the sidelines, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. After all, the goddess of the clan he wanted to join was here.

"Loki-sama, please wait a moment." 

Link stepped forward from the crowd.

Next to him, Hestia was also pouting and watching this scene with wide eyes.

"Goddess Loki, please let me join your Familia." 

Hearing this, Loki narrowed her eyes, looked at Link a few times, paused briefly, and said, "Our Family is preparing for an expedition right now, and we are not recruiting new members for the time being. I'm sorry."

He was mercilessly rejected. 

From the disdainful gaze and tone, Link could sense that the Familia 's so-called expedition was merely an excuse.

Link had an oriental face. Loki's first impression was that he was from the Far East. His body didn 't seem very strong compared to those robust and muscular demihumans ; it's no exaggeration to say that he appeared weak.

Therefore, Loki subconsciously rejected Link's request.

Of course, it's also difficult to get new members for the Familia expedition, which is another reason .

"Sorry to bother you, Goddess Loki." 

Since he was rejected, Link didn't prepare to kneel down and plead . He turned around , getting ready to leave, but just as he was about to depart and go see the next Familia, a pair of white hands grabbed the corner of his clothes. 

"Hmph, do you want to join my Familia ? I'm a goddess too! You can call me Hestia!"
