Orario Labyrinth City, Ishtar Familia
"Damn it! Freyaaa!!"
Gritting her teeth, Ishtar crushed her wine glass, injuring her hand in the process.
She was furious. Since the Banquet, she knew Freya was up to something, so she tried to get ahead by capturing Yuki's attention during the event.
Unfortunately, Yuki didn't look at her even once. Moreover, thanks to Hephaestus, she couldn't get close.
This only fueled her anger, but she also felt relieved since even Freya couldn't do anything.
How wrong she was. Freya did take advantage of that Banquet.
Creating a peculiar club where almost all goddesses, except for Hephasteus, Loki, Hestia, and herself, were members. A club where half of all deities were enrolled. With all these goddesses united, Freya's influence grew.
Upon discovering this, Ishtar moved her influence onto the target of that club.
The result was more terrifying than she imagined. That club was a Goddesses' entertainment room, where they gathered every night, having fun and sharing the Champion.
When Ishtar read about this, she felt like her world was falling apart. She didn't know how or when, but Freya somehow convinced the Boy to be the host in that club.
It was madness. There were even rumors that in that club, there were some intimate relationships with the Boy. Some goddesses spoke about touching the sky and more.
Ishtar didn't know exactly what was going on, but if her thoughts were correct, then sooner or later, a goddess would get pregnant. And that goddess was Freya. Then it would be all over.
"Find out what that bitch is up to!"
With eyes filled with fury, Ishtar ordered her children, who trembled and left her room.
Things were going from bad to worse. With this club, Freya was untouchable. No matter how much effort she put in, declaring war on them would be suicide with the Goddesses as their backup, especially Freya, who was already powerful.
Even sacrificing Haruhime would be a waste.
With the complicated ritual, if Ishtar couldn't turn the tables, her sacrifice plan would go down the drain.
"Whatever happens, I must enter the club."
If the Champion is the host, she must make sure to be a part of it. Otherwise, her family will fall into the hands of others while the other Goddesses become more powerful, especially Freya, who is already mighty.
"Ishtar-sama, I have something to inform you."
Kneeling with one knee, Tammuz, the vice-captain of her family, handed a letter to his Goddess, who took it without hesitation.
"!!"
Reading the content, Ishtar opened her eyes wide. She couldn't believe what she saw.
"Damn you, greedy Freya... Your greed knows no bounds in the lower world!"
Clutching the letter in her hands, Ishtar cursed aloud. After all, the letter contained the requirements to enter the club and some activities.
Firstly, all members must be women, without exception. The membership cost was 30 million valis per month. With this payment, a member had the right to spend two hours with the Champion each week.

TN: Damn yuki knows business

Of course, they couldn't violate the Boy, nor could they try to kidnap him. This had severe consequences, such as hefty fines and expulsion from the club, as well as a one-way trip back to the heavens.
There were other promotions, such as kisses, hugs, gambling, toys, and celestial massages claimed to be the best in the world. But these services came at a cost of 300 million valis.
Too much for a poor goddess, but not for Dia and Demeter, who didn't hesitate to spend to taste a slice of the forbidden fruit.
Another thing that caught Ishtar's attention was that in this club, for every service or membership, each member received a number. Every month, a golden ticket would be raffled, and the goddess holding that ticket would have the honor of taking the Boy to bed.
This made even the poor goddesses exploit their children to accumulate more numbers.
This was her chance. If, by chance, she held the golden ticket, then her future would be secured. With a child, her Race would protect her, as well as the Champion.
Moreover, if she played her cards right, she could take the Champion and create a club herself, gaining the status that Freya had.
"Another thing, Ishtar-sama, there are some issues with the Verbena and the prostitutes."
"Hm? Is there something like that?"
Remembering something important, Tammuz took out another envelope from his body, passing it to his Goddess.
Tilting her head, Ishtar took her long pipe with one hand, while using the other to take the envelope.
"Wow... What an interesting fellow."
Reading the information, Ishtar's eyes dangerously sparkled. After all, there was a strange guy lurking in the pleasure district, seducing prostitutes and taking Verbena.
And according to the information, this guy was very skilled in bed, leaving many Amazons and prostitutes moaning in pleasure. Another thing is that sex with this guy is very addictive, causing prostitutes and Verbena to gather every time he appeared.
"We need to investigate this man... He's very suspicious."
"Yes, Ishtar-sama."
Ordering her vice-captain, Ishtar continued smoking. That man was dangerous; Ishtar's instincts told her. It didn't surprise her that he seduced her daughters, but the fact that this man reserved Haruhime for an entire month, making it clear that he didn't want any other man to touch her, was something else. If it were another prostitute, Ishtar wouldn't take it seriously, but it was Haruhime, an important piece to overthrow Freya.
Furthermore, the fact that this man was hiding his identity, as well as the identity of his family, made Ishtar frowned. It wasn't uncommon for men to come disguised to this place, but with a little investigation, his true identity would be revealed. However, this man was someone even her vice-captain couldn't uncover.
Another thing that surprised her was that, with his fame, her daughter Phyne Jamil, the captain of her family, hadn't touched him. It was very strange, considering how fierce the sexual appetite of that toad was, and the man's reputation.
Moreover, there was another matter that Ishtar wanted to confirm.
"If he's as good in bed as they say... I wouldn't mind giving him a chance."
Crossing her legs, Ishtar smiled.
She was the Goddess of Love and Fertility, having sex was an obligation.
Having done it with over 80% of the Gods and many mortals, Ishtar developed a blessed technique of extreme pleasure that would even leave the Gods in ecstasy.
"It would be a waste not to take advantage of it."
Licking her lips, Ishtar blew a puff of smoke. After all, she was eager to experience that human.
