“We still need to find out how powerful he is as a god. But yes, he may be the opportunity the heavens have given the lower world. He could be… a hero who will save the world!”

When talking about heroes, Hermes looked very excited.

Ouranos was silent for a moment.

‘This man has been hanging out with Zeus too much in the past… he’s still obsessed with heroes.’

‘But, what he says is true.’

He tapped his finger against the back of his throne a few times before saying in a deep voice. “By the way, what is his purpose for coming to this world? Hermes, do you know?”

“About that, Ouranos. Eiji said he accidentally came here because he was playing something and couldn’t return to his home. He was interested in staying in this world for a while and even asked what my advice was. I suggested that he meet you, but his answer…”

“What was the answer?” Ouranos narrowed his eyes.

Hermes chuckled, “He said to me: ‘Where I live, I am a good and law-abiding citizen.’ He sent a message to you through me.”

“Message?”

“He asked you—Ouranos—to come see him and discuss his presence here if you have any objections.”

Ignoring Hermes’ amused expression, Ouranos raised his eyebrows, “Eiji Seiya asked me to meet him? Is he arrogant or perhaps he is a god whose level is higher than mine?”

“Ouranos, are you angry?” Hermes asked curiously.

The old man, Ouranos shook his head. “No, you underestimate my patience if you think I’ll get angry over this, Hermes.”

“Hahaha! My bad. After all, sitting in front of me is a god who has patiently watched over the Dungeon for 1000 years to maintain peace in the lower world. You have my respect.”

Ouranos did not change his expression, he was not flattered by Hermes’ words. With a wave of his hand, a mirror with a golden frame appeared and floated in front of him.

It was a Divine Mirror that allowed him to see any location he wanted in the Lower World. Although it was no longer in Heaven, he was allowed to use it without being sent back, although its use was still restricted.

Hermes looked at it enviously, he wanted it too. Because with it, he might be able to peek at the beautiful women bathing.

His smile became rather lascivious.

“Get rid of your dirty thoughts about the Divine Mirror.”

“Ahem! Sorry.”

“So, where is Eiji Seiya now?”

Ouranos asked while staring at the mirror that did not reflect him, but displayed a view of the 18th floor of the dungeon. As Hermes said, there was a large hole in the floor dividing wall. And the dungeon was repairing it.

“Before I went to see you. Eiji asked me to allow my familia captain, Asfi, to give him a tour of Orario. Right now, the two of them should be strolling down the main street.”

Hermes replied.

With that in mind, Ouranos changed the scene on the mirror surface and soon, he saw Asfi Al Andromeda and a white-haired man talking on the first floor of the tower of Babel. Just from his unusual and god-like appearance, Ouranos could tell that he must be Eiji Seiya.

As if sensing his gaze, Eiji even glanced at him with a faint smile before raising his head and continuing to talk to Asfi.

“He immediately noticed my surveillance.” Ouranos was slightly surprised.

“Isn’t that good? It proves that his perception is as sharp as the gods whose shrewdness is not sealed.”

Hermes then asked, “Are you going to see him soon, Ouranos?”

Ouranos held his chin, “There is no need to rush. For now, I will only watch him occasionally. Hermes, you must also keep his identity a secret from the other gods. Wait…”

He suddenly remembered something. “Are there other adventurers besides Asfi Al Andromeda who know Eiji Seiya’s identity?”

“I remember there were at least 100 adventurers who heard Eiji introduce himself before.”

Hermes scratched his head with an awkward expression.

Ouranos sighed, “That’s fine. At least don’t tell the other gods on purpose so that they don’t make unnecessary trouble in the near future.”

“As you wish, Ouranos.”

Hermes bowed while placing one of his hands on his chest.

On the other side.

Precisely the 50th floor of the tower of Babel, the largest and most luxurious floor that was the residence of a goddess.

A moment ago.

“Who is this extremely handsome man? Not only does his appearance rival the gods I have seen, he even noticed my gaze? Interesting.”

Just like Ouranos. The goddess of beauty, Freya, was surprised because when she tried to peek at Bell who had recently caught her eye with his soul color that was purer than any of the heroes, she saw someone else who was more attractive than her.

While sitting back in her throne-like chair. She shifted the focus of her Divine Mirror to a white-haired and golden-eyed man who had somehow gained a lot of respect from many adventurers around him.

Freya missed the battle scene on the 18th floor of the dungeon, which was why she only saw Eiji now.

Using the innate ability to see the color and brilliance of souls. Unlike Bell whose soul was transparent white, the color and brilliance of Eiji’s soul surprised her more. The glass of wine in her hand fell to the floor and broke into pieces.

“Wh-What is this!? This color and brilliance…!”

The man’s soul had many deep and endless intense colors as if the entire galaxy was locked inside one body. Its sparkle almost blinded her eyes for a moment before he adjusted the intensity of her gaze.

Freya’s body trembled, and her breathing quickened. She leaned her extraordinarily beautiful face forward until it was almost pressed against the Divine Mirror. One of her hands gripped her extremely plump chest, and her other hand was wedged between her crotch.

Pink light flickered in her silver eyes. Since her outfit consisted of a very revealing black and red dress, her movements made her look very seductive.

Any man who saw her would definitely lust after her. Many of them are willing to become her dogs. For example, all the members of her family had been mesmerized by her beauty. For her sake, they would do anything.

“Ottar!”

Freya called out to the captain of her familia and her current favorite dog.

A tall, muscular man with dark skin, rust-colored hair and eyes, and a pair of boar ears emerged from the shadows.

He wore a dark blue sleeveless top with a red chest and collar, gray pants, and brown and gray shoes.

There was hardly a single adventurer who didn’t recognize him. He was Ottar-the current strongest adventurer in Orario.

As an adventurer, he was at level 7.

“Freya-sama, what are your orders?”

“You see this guy? He caught the attention of your goddess. I want him, just like I want Bell—no, even more!”

Ottar glanced at Eiji in the mirror with a cold stare. He clenched his fists, “Should I bring him to you right now?”

There was jealousy hidden in his eyes. Not long ago, a man named Bell managed to get his goddess so excited and told him to observe him.

Now, another man appeared and excited her even more. Of course, Ottar knew Freya’s hobby of collecting things that interested her. Men and women were no exception, he was one of them.

Ever since Freya found him in an alley when he was a child and told him he was handsome, she had taken him into her Familia. Since he had no name, she even gave him a name.

Freya was everything to Ottar, he loved her so much. His love is no less than any other member of her familia.

So even though he was jealous whenever he saw Freya interested in other men, he would still do whatever she wanted to get them.

“Don’t be rash.” With her vision, Freya could also see the emotions surrounding a person and their mental state. She knew Ottar was jealous, but did not say anything about it. It was a common thing. “From his appearance, it’s possible that he’s a god I don’t recognize. But if he’s not, a commoner or an adventurer… You can invite him to meet me. Bring him to me by any means.”

Freya licked her lips, her eyes returning to Eiji as if he were her prey. Unlike Bell who she wanted to wait until his soul shone brighter, Eiji’s soul was at a level that made her unappetizing.

She wanted to taste him and make him hers as soon as possible. By the way, she did not hear Eiji’s inner voice like the other heroines.

At least not now.

It wasn’t that Miss System thought she was a bitch, but Eiji had an idea about her. He had deliberately excluded Freya from the list of inner voice listeners.

“I will carry out your order, Freya-sama.”

After saying that, Ottar walked straight out of the room and left Freya alone.

Freya’s gaze then fell on Asfi who was now walking with Eiji. Seeing Eiji teasing the woman, she frowned.

“I remember that woman is Asfi, she’s the captain of the Hermes Familia. Why is she specially accompanying the man who caught my attention?”

“Hermes… Does he know his identity?”

She realized that.

*CRACK!*

At the same time, her Divine Mirror cracked to shatter. Eiji and Asfi disappeared from her sight.

Freya widened her eyes, “No! My Divine Mirror! Why all of a sudden… Is this that guy’s doing? Tsk!”

She bit her finger with an annoyed expression but then, she laughed. “Fufu~ I seem to have to pay a price to satisfy my curiosity. Sorry Ottar, but for the sake of your goddess, you might have to suffer a bit to get the information I want.”

To be able to remotely damage her Divine Mirror like this, the man who caught her attention this time was definitely very unusual.

However, Freya was still arrogant. She thought with Ottar’s power and her own charm, she could conquer Eiji!

…

“Eiji-sama, what did you see?” Asfi asked curiously.

Eiji suddenly stopped walking and turned his head towards the tower of Babel. With just his gaze, he released invisible kinetic energy to destroy Freya’s Divine Mirror.

He looked back at Asfi and said, “Just get rid of the gaze of a beautiful bee who is temporarily attracted by very sweet honey.”

With her intelligence, Asfi understood the meaning behind Eiji’s words. Although she wasn’t sure who the beautiful bee he was referring to was.

Whoever it was, it must be a woman who lived in the tower of Babel.

A goddess?

Still, this man called himself a very sweet honey… Asfi’s lips twitched. She refrained from calling narcissistic and pointed at a pub on West Main Street, where they were currently.

“I see. Eiji-sama, this is the Hostess of Fertility, the most famous pub in Orario. The owner is a former high-ranking adventurer who is highly respected. Even rogue gods dare not misbehave here.”

“Oh?” Eiji was familiar with the name of the building in front of him. Not only other adventurers, the protagonist and his group also came here frequently. If I’m not mistaken, Ryuu also worked as a maid in this place. “I’m a little hungry. Asfi, why don’t we have lunch together?”

“Eh? Okay…”

Asfi still hadn’t realized that what they were doing from earlier was like a date.

She had no resistance when Eiji took her hand to enter together into the Hostess of Fertility.

When they entered, they were greeted by Anya Fromel, a brunette and cat-eared maid. In this world, her race was called Cat People.

“Welcome, nyaa~! Ah, isn’t this the legendary Hermes Familia captain, Asfi? And this very handsome man… Geez, you’re even holding hands. He’s your boyfriend!?”

“No! You, you misunderstood… Fromel-san. Eiji-sama is not my boyfriend!” Asfi denied and frantically removed her hand from Eiji’s grasp. Her face turned red with embarrassment.

The adventurers who were eating froze, especially the men. They dropped food from their mouths and some of them choked.

Their gazes fell on Eiji and wondered if he was really Asfi’s boyfriend!?

Many of them were heartbroken.

Eiji enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. He could see the men around emitting a green aura.

[It’s just imagination, right host?]

Yes, it was indeed my imagination.

[…]

Miss System shook her head, her host could no longer be saved.

Eiji looked around, besides Anya; he also saw the other cute maids. From the original work, he remembered that a black-haired cat person was Chloe Rollo. With vision that could penetrate objects, he also found Ryuu who was cooking and her pointed ears twitching. She must have noticed his arrival from Asfi’s embarrassment-filled scream.

There were also other beautiful and cute maids, but Eiji couldn’t remember their names.

As for the owner of this place?

“Hoh, no need to be ashamed to admit it, captain Hermes Familia. Look at the man beside you, he doesn’t seem to want to deny.” A burly woman in a maid uniform walked over from the counter. She was Mia Grand, the owner of the Hostess of Fertility.

“…..” Eiji.

Asfi looked at the man standing beside her with a complaint in her eyes, “Eiji-sama, please say something.”

“Instead of that, why don’t we order some food and drinks? Cute maid, give us your best menu.”

He didn’t deny it and shamelessly said that to Anya.

Anya meowed before saying, “Nyaa? Okay handsome, please sit down and wait with your girlfriend~!”

Meanwhile the cat lady ran into the kitchen to tell Eiji’s order to Ryuu and the other chefs.

“Eiji-sama, you…” Asfi felt a headache, her face still a little red. Now not only Eiji, but Anya was also teasing her.

“Hahaha! This is the first time I’ve seen the captain of the Hermes Familia looking shy. Handsome, it’s also the first time I’ve seen you here. If I may know, who are you? Are you a god?”

Mia guessed that Eiji was a god from his appearance and the way Asfi addressed him.

However, her attitude was still casual and not too polite.

Eiji didn’t mind, despite not being very beautiful and having an appearance that intimidated men, Mia was also one of the female characters he remembered.

He replied, “I’m Eiji Seiya, and yes… I’m a god.”

“What a strange name for a god. You’re like a male version of a certain goddess.” Mia said as she continued to stare at his face with a curious gaze and only that.

The goddess she was referring to was none other than Freya, the former goddess she served.

[Strange, I’m sure I’m very handsome. But the woman in front of me, Mia wasn’t mesmerized when she saw me from such a close distance?]

[Is her eyesight not very good?]

The heroines fell silent.

Many of them laughed and were amused. Asfi was no exception. In her heart, she said: As expected Mama Mia!

After that conversation, she and Eiji sat at one of the tables. Shortly after, Anya brought out the best food and beer in the place.

Asfi asked if he enjoyed the food and drinks at the place. Eiji simply said, “It’s good.”

Although it couldn’t compare to the food the maids made at his home, he enjoyed the beer. But because of his power, especially the Avalon in his body, he couldn’t feel drunk.

On the other side, Asfi was a little tipsy even though she only drank half a glass of beer to ease her frustration after being teased so much. Pretty face was flushed and she often looked at Eiji’s face in a daze.

Her positivity level increased by a few points. Eiji was happy of course, but his attention was caught by a gray-haired maid who walked over to them with a sweet smile.

“Hello, Eiji-sama~ I’m Syr Flova, would you like to top up your beer? Since you’re our new customer, it’s free from me.”

[Cough! Cough! If only I had forgotten about this woman, I would have choked by now. But no, how could I forget that she also works here!?]

[Or rather who are you pretending to be, Freya? You can’t fool me. From the original work, I know Syr is a human persona you created as part of the “game” where the Gods would erase their divine existence and live among humans. In short, she’s your alter ego that you can play alternately with one of your familia members, Horn.]

The heroines: ???

Asfi: ?

Ryuu: ?

Syr is Freya’s alter ego? Really?

The heroines in the Danmachi world just found out about this and were surprised.

Eiji turned to Syr who was holding several glasses of beer in her hands and smiled until his white teeth were visible, “Thank you, Syr. I’m happy to receive a free glass of beer from a woman as beautiful as you.”

You knew her true identity but you didn’t refuse, Eiji?

You even teased her!

Asfi was confused even though she did not fully believe the things Eiji said in his inner voice. But if it was true… She wondered what Freya’s intention was to approach him.
