Ishtar

I was walking the town, since ever once and a while I do this. I mean to this day, I am still enjoying the beauty of this world.

I was with Ais, as she would usually join me on my walks around the town. We didn't talk much during our walks but I could tell she was enjoying it.

Even if she wasn't showing it, I could also tell that she enjoys and appreciates our walks in town. I think it has a calming effect in her.

Then I noticed a certain goddess, Ishtar. I was kinda surprised since she wasn't a goddess that was very public.

I mean she control a decent amount of the Red Light district and stayed their. I could tell that this meeting wasn't a coincidence, as me and Ais are surrounded by her Familia.

"Why hello their children of Loki"she greeted

"Hmm, why hello but if I may who are you"I said

This would make her mad as she was a very popular goddess since she ran the red light district.

"Ah, how rude of me! I am Ishtar, Goddess of Beauty" she said in an annoyed and arrogant tone

"Ah, the goddess of whore! What may we do for you?"I asked

This annoyed her, and some of her Familia came out of hiding. They were probably mad that I called there Goddess a whore.

Ais the whole time was just listening and doing nothing since she isn't a social person. But still she wouldn't ignore that we were now surrounded.

"Huh, an ambush? So are you trying to declare war?"I said then I released some cursed energy

When I released my cursed energy, all her familia members fell to their knees, and the weaker one just landed flat on the ground.

"It wouldn't be wise, Ishtar. Are you sure that you can handle the consequences?"I said

"Wait, this is a misunderstanding!"she said

"And what am I misunderstanding?"I asked

"I am here to make a deal! It about Freya and her potential weaknesses!"she said

Then I lowered my intensity of my cursed energy. I was interested as this could soon eliminate a certain problem.

Over the years, I figured out a few things. Someone has been looking at me, but not the usual way. Some one has been looking at my soul, at first I didn't notice but it seems that every thing I level up, I get this weird feeling from a certain waitress.

At first I thought it was Mia, from the Hostess of Fertility. Then I realized it only happen when a certain waitress is there. It was when Syr looked at me with her eyes.

It was weird, but I let it be since it cause me no harm. But I wasn't dumb enough to let this go, so I decided to do some investigating.

To my surprise it turned out she was Freya in disguise. So, this meant that I had caught her eye. Now what was the reason?

So, I tried to recreate the feeling I got when she "looked" at me. Eventually I figured out what she was looking at.

My soul, it seem she was looking at my soul. Then I looked at my soul. I had to say it was pretty cool. It was bright with a black core.

Besides that, I didn't get anymore information. I couldn't look at others souls, so I couldn't compare mind with others. So anyways, back to Ishtar.

"Hmm, and why would I be interested?" I asked her

"Well she is the only familia that can rivaled Loki now and she won't stay idle for long"she said

"Hmm, that may be true but we don't need your help to defeat her"I said

"Well you may not know but Freya has her ways of winning, trust me your going to need my help"she said

"You really don't get it do you?"I said

"Get what?" She said

"We are not the ones in trouble, it's you that is in danger. You need us to protect you."I said

"That not true! It is you who is going to need my help!"she said

"Haa, listen as I'll only say this once. If you have Freya's weaknesses and she figures out then I'm your whole familia is going to be eliminated very soon"I said

"No, she can't because I have her weaknesses"she said

"Is it a weakness that you have or a secret? Because they are two different things, one is something you can use. While the other is something you want to keep hidden"I said

"But.. she can't! She just can't!"she said

"Well you say that but you don't have the power or forces to defend yourself from her. That why I don't and never will need your help"I said

Then me and Ais started to walk away. She looked like she was in a bad situation, since she most likely told Freya about what she discovered, since she is a prideful god.

Was I going to help her? Of course not, but I will use this too my advantage. Knowing Freya, she will probably attack the red light district and eliminate her familia.

That when I will strike and also kill most of her familia. This will greatly affect her standing, and get her closer her elimination.

With this I could get her off my back, even though lately she has been doing something else. It seems she found something else then trying to stalk me.

Over the years, Freya has done some questionable stuff to make me to try and join her familia. Like spreading rumors of me joining her familia or her using her divinity to take control of me.

These have all fail as my reputation and skills prevent her actions. Then I heard some screams from Ishtar.

"WAIT! You can't leave like this!"she said

"Just watch me"I said

"So, your going to let my familia die!"she said

"Well of course, not my problem"I said

Then I just teleported me and Ais away. She was thinking the whole time about the conversation.

"Was it really okay to leave her?"Ais asked

"Hmm, yeah, I have a plan anyways"I said

"Plan?"she asked

"Well to make sure that we won't have problems in the future I made a plan, it basically like killing two birds with one stone"I said

"What's the plan?"she asked

"Well to let Freya attack the red light district"I said

"Why? Isn't that where lots of people go?" She asked

"Do you even know what that place is?"I asked

"No, no really. Can you explain?"she asked

"Are you sure? It a place for grown up people"I said

"Grown ups? Aren't we grown ups?"she asked

"Yeah, but your so innocent. What if by telling you I ruined that innocent mind you have?"I said

"Just tell me"she said

Then I proceeded to tell her. The more I got into detail, the redder she turned. She had shown lots of emotions, but mostly shyness.

"Hey! You are never allow there! Do you understand!" She said

"Huh, why am I ban from there?"I said

"You know why! You alone are mine!"she said

"Wait, you think I would ever cheat on you, you aur head?"I said

"No, but still! I don't want you there!"she said

"Fine, it not like I ever been there"I said

Then for the rest of our walk around town she held my arm very tightly. She also seem to always walk the opposite way of the red light district.

Then we head to the Hostess of Fertility. There we saw Bell, he seem very upset. Well, me and Ais headed his direction since Ais did train him for a week.

"Hey Bell"I said

"Huh, oh Mr. Gojo? How are you?"he said

"Good, how about you?"I said

"Great!"he said

"Really? You seem upset."I said

"Ah, that because of my growth"he said

We just sat at his table. It seems that Syr isn't here and Ryuu was our waitress. Me and Ais order our food then we talked to bell some more.

"Well that normal for an adventure"I said

"Yeah, Hestia told me that but still, my abilities barely grow anymore"he said

"Anymore? Did you have fast growth or something?"I asked

"Yeah, during the train and before that I was growing fast but after I could barely grow anymore. At this point it might take my years before I could level up"he said

"Well it normal for adventures to take decades before leveling up, so don't worry about it"I said

"But it told you and Ms. Ais just half a year, and a year for your other levels. At this point I can never be a hero"he said

"Well, we are just special cases, and you shouldn't be comparing yourself to others"I said

Then our food arrived. He seem to get a little better but not by a lot. It seems that whatever happen to him, he got lost so he needs a new goal.

"Hey, besides of being upset, you should make a reason"I said

"My reason is to be a hero"he said

"No, like why do you want to be a hero"I said

Then he looked like he was thinking. Me and Ais just ate as we didn't want the food to get cold. After a bit we left, I paid the bill.

"Wait a minute! Who touch me wallet!"I said

"LOKI!!!!!!"I screamed
