Chapter 241: Woman to Woman

"What do you mean you can't find him?! What kind of joke is this?!"

Raising her voice in anger, Ishtar glared at Tammuz with severity.

She had given a very simple order...

Catch that human who had been poisoning her daughters.

She wanted to test this human; she wanted to bring him into her web.

However, things were not as easy as they seemed. The human was so elusive that even her daughters didn't know which familia he belonged to. He appeared out of nowhere every night and vanished just as mysteriously. Even after keeping an eye on Haruhime, the man eluded her daughters' gaze.

Ishtar was losing patience. This had never happened before.

So, sending an order to all her children, including her captain, to bring in the human, but again, this plan had to fail.

(What the hell is going on? What familia does he belong to?)

But the worst part was that this man attracted her daughters like bees to honey, leaving each of them breathless.

(Wait... Could it be? No... That's impossible.)

After thinking about which adventurer could achieve such a feat, her eyes widened at a possibility.

However, at the same time that thought crossed her mind, she dismissed it.

(Her Excellency wouldn't stoop so low as to deal with those women.)

Yes, the Champion is the most important person in the world. For such an idol to engage with women as lowly as prostitutes was unheard of.

However, besides the Champion, Ishtar couldn't think of anyone else. His skills betrayed him, but Ishtar knew she couldn't jump to conclusions.

(If only I could see him...)

According to her information, the human was a 17-year-old man with an average appearance and physique—nothing outstanding. Despite nothing pointing to the beautiful boy that is Yuki.

But this could be a disguise. That's why Ishtar wanted to see him; if he's really the Champion, a glance would be enough to confirm it.

He could disguise himself as much as he wanted, but his aura would be as visible as a firefly in the dark.

And if that were the case, Ishtar wouldn't let him escape. Yuki is a big prize that no Goddess would let go.

*BOMM

"Eh?! What was that?!"

But while lost in her thoughts, an explosion shook her residence, causing it to tremble.

"Ishtar-sama! We're under attack!"

Swinging the door open, one of her children entered in a panic, immediately informing his Goddess.

"Who?! Who's the idiot attacking us?!"

Feeling the fury within her grow even more, Ishtar clenched her teeth. She already had enough trouble with the human; she didn't need another idiot causing problems.

However, her words sent a chill down her kneeling child's spine.

Swallowing hard, her child responded with trembling words, "It's... Freya... Familia."

"Eh?"

"Are you sure you want to go alone, Freya-sama?"

With houses ablaze behind them, Ottar looked at his Goddess, who smiled in response.

"Yes... There are many things I want to discuss, from Goddess to Goddess... No, from woman to woman."

Her mission was almost complete. Thanks to more than half of Ishtar's children disappearing, it was very easy to break through their defenses.

Ishtar was finished, and Freya wanted to make it clear that she was the winner. It was the same in heaven as in the mortal realm.

Her beauty was superior, after all. She was chosen by Yuki to serve and love.

(Very soon... Very soon, I'll have him inside me.)

Touching her stomach tenderly, Freya's cheeks reddened. Yuki had promised her his seeds, and she wanted her baby. Thinking about the future when her belly would be swollen, a smile formed on her face.

She had won; there was no doubt. Ishtar was a loser who was jealous of her position.

(No matter how hard you try... My beauty is superior.)

Walking elegantly, Freya wanted to finish this farce as soon as possible.

---

"Freya-sama..."

Ottar, on the other hand, was very worried. As a God, Freya had her power sealed, leaving her physically at the level of a common Level 1 human.

In the territory of their enemy, anything could happen. She could be attacked without being able to defend herself and sent back to heaven.

And if that happens, her family will be finished. Also, as a son, he did not fulfill his obligation.

However, despite this, his Goddess was not worried. To her, it was stepping on an already defeated enemy.

It wasn't worth the effort. Yuki made sure to destroy the enemy from within; she was only here to finish the job.

"You worry too much, Ottar... I am the 'chosen one'... I'll just step on those who dared to act against the world."

Shaking her beautiful silver hair, Freya turned to leave.

She had won; there was no doubt, and as she had said, Ishtar was a loser who was envious of her position.

(No matter how hard you try... My beauty is superior.)

Walking elegantly, Freya wanted to finish this farce as soon as possible.

"Freya Familia!!"

Roaring like a lioness, Phryne Jamil, the current captain of the Ishtar Familia, looked at the sea of fire in the district with hatred.

Currently, her family was in chaos. They had been invaded, but none of them noticed until it was too late. More than half of their members had disappeared, leaving their defenses weak and defenseless.

Despite being one of the strongest families, they couldn't compare against the Freya Familia, the second-strongest familia in Orario.

"No... We can't win, not without Haruhime's power," one of her comrades muttered, trembling in fear. After witnessing the destruction and the invaders approaching, a great fear overcame him.

"Shut up!"

"Guh!"

Swinging her battle axe, Phryne showed no mercy to the coward. Yet, deep inside, she also knew that winning was impossible.

"Where is Aisha?! Why isn't she here?!"

But, of course, she wouldn't admit defeat so easily. Searching for the strongest members of her familia, she turned her head fiercely.

"She's... She's gone..."

"What?!"

Looking at her subordinate with profound disbelief, Phryne couldn't believe it. After all, Aisha had many Berbera under her command.

"Understand now... That human!"

But as if a light had illuminated her mind, Phryne gritted her teeth in hatred. After all, coming to her senses, she realized the truth.

During these days, she had been searching for the human praised by many Berbera and prostitutes as the best.

Naturally, she wanted to test him; her sexual appetite was greater than that of any Amazon.

But it was a pity...

She couldn't find him, and this made her doubt a lot. After all, according to her, her beauty was superior to that of her Goddess.

No man could resist her charms; everyone was at her feet. Of course, if Aisha knew what this woman was thinking, she would surely be left speechless. The toad wants to eat swan meat.

But now, Phryne could understand more about the strange behavior of the Berbera, as well as the mystery of the human.

Everything was a trap, leading up to this moment.

That human was undoubtedly from the Freya Familia, and Aisha, along with her group, had betrayed them.

Leaving the path clear for the Familia Freya to attack, they had also escaped.

"Traitors! Don't think you'll get away with this!"

With her anger at its peak, Phryne didn't stand idly by. After all, a large group like Aisha's subordinates wouldn't escape so easily. There must be a few Berbera in the district.

(Haruhime! She must still be here!)

Recalling the information about this human, Phryne ran. After all, the pieces fell into place in her puzzle.

Everything made sense...

Why was this human interested in Haruhime?

Why did he pay for her every night?

Surely, the information about the sacrifice had leaked, causing the Freya Familia to act before their plan succeeded. They also made sure the sacrifice didn't take place, taking Haruhime for themselves.

*Bam... Bam

So, running with large steps, the ground trembling beneath her feet, Phryne wanted to kill those traitors.

However, someone blocked her way...

"Where do you think you're going, Captain Phryne Jamil?"

"Ottar... ?!"

Halting her steps, Phryne opened her toad-like eyes in shock. After all, emerging from the shadows, a man with two large swords on his back looked at her...

"This path is closed. No one can pass."

"Ottar!"
