Women's talk

Tsukasa didn't go to the party. Instead, he went directly back to Twilight Manor. He could see how Freya's smile was full of malice, so instead of facing this crisis, he just walked out since he didn't have to meet this crisis.

It was better to maintain the status quo and leave.

Still, when Tsukasa walked back, he noticed a powerful adventurer staring at his house. However, it was only for a moment since he was proficient in erasing his presence. Even if the person who stared at him was known as the strongest in the Orario, it didn't mean this person was good at tracking.

However, Tsukasa could tell the physical ability of this person was powerful.

When Tsukasa left, this figure tried to search for Tsukasa for a while, but he could find nothing, and in the end, he just stood there while waiting for her master to walk out of the house. Still, he frowned slightly and approached the house, but he didn't enter and just stood outside since he could tell the mood of her goddess wasn't good.

When Tsukasa left, he stayed in his studio, taking all the metals bought by Tiona to his smithy. He had thought of making a weapon for Tiona, so he decided to make it now since he was free and had nothing to do. He summoned his cube, and his eyes were full of focus to create a masterpiece.

When Tsukasa focused on his smithy, the members of the Loki Familia who went to the party on the Hostess of the Fertility returned after they were satisfied. Their faces were slightly flushed, and their stomachs were slightly bulging because of food and alcohol.

Tiona, Ais, and many girls, on the other hand, felt slightly depressed when they didn't see Tsukasa. However, when they were about to approach the Twilight Manor, they saw smoke billowing from their house.

They were dumbfounded and quickly fastened their speed, wondering whether something had happened.

However, somehow, they sighed in relief when they saw the source of that smoke was Tsukasa's smithy. They wanted to approach it, but they were stopped by Riveria.

"Don't bother him. He might be focussed on doing something," Riveria said sternly.

Even if it was faint, they could hear the sound of hammering inside. They knew Tsukasa was doing something there. They didn't want to interrupt him, so they didn't trouble him and returned to their room. After all, they were also tired, so it was a good thing to rest early.

Still, Riveria glanced at the smithy for a while until suddenly, a voice interrupted him.

"Mama, you have been concerned about Tsukasa for a while." Loki stood behind Riveria and whispered, "Did something happen between you two?" Unlike the rest, she noticed something different from Riveria. However, it was normal since they had been together for so long, and she could tell Riveria had become more beautiful.

Loki had some guesses on her heart, but she couldn't help but feel complicated.

After all, who would expect out of all the women in the Loki Familia, Tsukasa would choose the oldest woman in her Familia.

Riveria blushed when she heard Loki's question, and she knew there was no way she could escape unless she shut her mouth. After all, she knew it was impossible to lie in front of God.

Watching Riveria shut her mouth, Loki didn't give up and even pressed her further. "Come on. Tell me, or should I just announce it to everyone?"

Riveria looked at Loki with a complicated gaze before she nodded with a blush. "Well, we're together now."

"....." Loki.

"...What's with that expression?" Riveria asked with an annoyed expression. She knew she couldn't lie to Loki, and it was the reason why she decided to be truthful. If possible, she didn't want to, but she knew it was impossible. Lastly, she believed in Loki. Even though Loki was quite unreliable, without a doubt, Loki was a god she had acknowledged.

"I mean... well..." Loki held her forehead, trying to figure out the best words to describe this situation. "It's just unexpected."

"Well, yeah." Riveria also sighed and said, "I just don't expect I'll fall in love too."

"..."

Loki looked at Riveria for a while, and somehow she couldn't tell her relationship with Tsukasa. Still, she must admit that guy was a bastard!

"By the way, who made the first move?" If Tsukasa dared to break his promise, Loki would beat him up!

"...I am," Riveria said with a blush.

"...cute." Loki must admit Riveria was cute!

The blushing older woman was cute!

Loki sighed and thought that bastard's luck was good!

Well, Tsukasa had a "Luck" skill on his status, so she wasn't wrong.

However, Loki felt complicated since this relationship made it harder for her to meet Tsukasa now.

"What's wrong?" Riveria asked since Loki's expression was slightly strange.

"I won't let you sleep! Tell me everything!" Loki pulled Riveria to Tsukasa's studio unless this woman told her everything.

Riveria couldn't fight Loki and knew her pure image was destroyed now.

When Loki and Riveria talked to each other, a guest entered the Hostess of Fertility. The guess was wearing a cloak, covering most of her appearance.

Mia Grand, who saw this person, frowned and walked out of her position.

The Hostess of Fertility might be a bar, but it didn't mean it would open for an entire night.

It was a time to close, yet this guess came, which attracted the attention of the waitresses.

"What are you doing here?" Mia asked with a frown.

"What? Can I come?"

"Just say what you want," Mia grumbled, wondering what this goddess wanted to do.

"I just want to talk."

"Talk?" Mia was confused.

"Yeah."

Mia looked at the goddess for a while and nodded. "Okay, follow me to the 2nd floor."

Mia and the guest walked together to the 2nd floor, leaving everyone, and ignored the talk among the waitress.

The two sat next to each other, and Mia took alcohol.

The guest took out her cloak and drank the alcohol in one gulp.

"......" Mia.

Freya let out a comfortable sigh, then said, "Listen to me! That guy..."

"........"

Mia was in silence and looked at Freya in a dumbfounded manner since she didn't expect Freya would come for a talk!

However, when Mia heard the content of the conversation, she didn't say anything and just quietly drank alcohol.

"Hey, are you listening to me?" Freya was annoyed since Mia ignored her. Unlike her children on her Familia, Mia could fight her, which made her mostly talk with her if she had trouble.

"I heard you." Mia looked at Freya and said, "You know, it's been a while for you to be so expressive. You really must like that bastard." She knew the "bastard" in Freya's mouth, but she didn't expect their relationship would escalate so quickly. However, she thought that boy would be part of the Freya Familia now, but he resisted her goddess's charm and still lived in the Loki Familia well. "As expected, everything that you can't get will make you interested."

"Expressive..." Freya murmured and thought about Mia's words. She realized it had been a while for this type of emotion. She didn't remember when the last time she had it was since everyone, whether it was the goddesses, gods, or her children, was obedient to her. They would try to treat her gently, not to make her angry.

Whatever her wish was, they would try to get them for her.

No matter how selfish and how unreasonable, she would be forgiven since she was beautiful.

However, Tsukasa was different. He didn't enter that category, and he made her hate and love him at the same time.

Freya sipped the alcohol slightly and said with a voice full of obsession, "I can't give him up..."
