"I don't understand why you chose the ability to cultivate luck." Loki grumbled unhappily that I ignored her suggestion after increasing my level.

"I'm following my instincts, Loki. Don't blame me for this. I just felt like I had to choose her." Even though I told her this many times, I felt the need to explain it again. Loki sighed deeply and shrugged her shoulders, then started to grin.

"You broke Ais's record for leveling up, in 10 days. I wonder how Ais will react." Loki seems to be in a more cheerful mood than usual. I can understand her, after all, there is another person in her family who is talented enough to break the record.

"Okay, I don't have enough free time to stay here and chat with you." I put on my clothes and got up.

"Um, do you have something important to do?" Loki stopped laughing and started looking at me with narrowed eyes.

"I promised Miss Syr I would stop by the hostess of fertility. I'll go there." I said.

"Oh, I see. You're just like me." I couldn't help but blush slightly as Loki spoke pointedly. However, I did not deny her words.

"Anyway. We met on the way back yesterday. She kindly invited me so I couldn't turn her down." I said softly as I turned my gaze away from her and walked out of the room. Frankly, I know that it was not a coincidence that I met Syr, but since she did not act maliciously towards me, I could not find a reason to reject her.

I'm aware of Syr's interest in me, but it's not like Freya's perverse obsession with Bell Cranel. Even though I know she is Freya, I have no intention of revealing her. I decided to go with the flow until I found out what she wanted to do with me.

I said goodbye to Loki and walked out of the family mansion. She said she would announce that I was Loki Lvl.2 in a few weeks. That's why no one knows my level except the main staff. I was brought out of my thoughts when I saw the Hostess of Fertility sign. When I opened the door and walked in, it was quite crowded. While the adventurers were eating and drinking noisily, the waiters were hard at work.

"Sakuya, you're here." Meanwhile, a familiar voice caught my attention. Syr came towards me, smiling brightly.

"I promised to come before, didn't I?" I responded in the same way, smiling politely. I was more relaxed than when I first met her. Maybe my prejudiced thoughts made me feel uneasy towards her.

"I've set up a table for you." Syr started chattering as she grabbed my hand and pulled me along. She took me to a table that was relatively quieter than the others. While I was about to order, she quickly ran towards the kitchen, saying that she had prepared a surprise for me. Honestly, if I'm going to pay for it, I can't say it's a surprise. But after seeing her eager expression, I didn't want to mention it.

I didn't wait long when Syr came with two plates in her hand. While she put one in front of me, she took the other and sat opposite me. I looked at her, surprised by her actions. Normally, in such a situation, Mia would have to shout and tell her to get back to work. However, when I looked at Mia, he winked at me and went back to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Syr started giggling after seeing my confused expression.

"I got permission from Mama Mia. After all, I invited you, there's no point if I don't accompany you." After speaking, Syr started eating the food in front of her. When I looked in front of me, I noticed that this dish looked quite different. I waited for Syr to explain to me again that I was caring.

"I made this dish. Actually, others helped too." At first she explained it out loud, but in the second sentence she whispered it in a low voice. With my devil physique, I had no difficulty in hearing her. I couldn't help giggling when I saw her flushed face. I tasted the food while her expectant gaze was on me. It was more delicious than I expected.

"Delicious." I couldn't help but praise her. Syr smiled brightly and started eating with me. We ate our meal while chatting. I must admit that I had a lot of fun drinking the beers offered by Mia afterwards. I lost track of time with Syr's occasional jokes and telling of the other waitresses' embarrassing moments. Since it was quite late, it was time for me to head back.

"Sakuya, shall we walk together for a while?" As I was getting ready to get up, Syr caught me off guard.

"It's okay with me, but would it be okay for you to break up?" I asked while looking at Mia. Mia waved her hand and said she didn't care. I said goodbye to Mia and the others as we paid the bill and left together. Syr and I were walking in silence. After a while Syr started to speak. After looking around, she grabbed my hand and started dragging me.

"Sakuya-san, I have something to tell you." I couldn't help but be suspicious of Syr as she pulled me into an empty alley. Then she stood in front of me and started whispering something. When I felt the magic power gathering around her, I wondered what she would do. I didn't stop her because I felt like she didn't have any intentions towards me. After a while, Syr's appearance began to change.

Then the most beautiful woman I've ever seen appeared before me. Her shiny silver hair reached down to her waist. Her purple eyes sparkled like amethysts. Her delicate face and gorgeous figure made my heart race. It was the first time I felt like this.

I activated my magic to detect whether she was using her charm against me. However, I could not find any trace of her using any magic or holy power. My reactions came out entirely of my own free will. I didn't know how to react as I looked at the beautiful woman in front of me. It was the first time I encountered such a situation.

"Sakuya. Are you okay?" Meanwhile, Freya's soft voice brought me back to my senses. Freya was looking at me with concern. I gathered myself and started looking at her seriously. Even though I knew who she was before, I still had to ask.

"Are you Goddess Freya?" After asking the question, Freya nodded with a smile and then began to speak:

"Yes, Sakuya. I broke my transformation spell because I didn't want to deceive you." Frankly, this was something I didn't expect.

"So why?" I couldn't help but ask because I was confused.

"Because I fell in love with you. The moment I first saw you, I knew you were my destined mate." Freya stated clearly as her cheeks turned red. After hearing her words, my heart couldn't help but accelerate. As her words swirled around in my head, I didn't notice her approaching me.

"Sakuya, I know it's sudden, but there's no way I, who have been single for millions of years, can be patient in this situation."

"Single?" Among what she said, this quote caught my attention. In the anime, it was described that she had a very colorful relationship life.

"Yes, Sakuya is single. Actually, I am a virgin goddess. Rumors about me were spread by other goddesses who were jealous of me. As the goddess of War and Love, even the thought of being with someone who would be my soul mate was out of the question. I always waited for my true love, you." As she looked into my eyes, she said something that shocked me.

I somehow knew she wasn't lying. The love confession of the beautiful woman in front of me stunned me. As someone who has lived two lives, I can say that she is the most beautiful woman I have ever met. And the first woman in my two lives to confess to me. While I was thinking about how to answer her, I felt a soft touch on my lips.

Freya had started kissing me without warning. My eyes widened in shock. I didn't expect her to do this. However, it was a very innocent kiss. I could feel her feelings for me. After I got over my shock, I decided to respond to her.

Was I in love with her? No. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't like her. Besides, after such a beautiful woman confessed to me, I couldn't find a reason to reject her. After kissing for a while, we decided to break up.

"Freya, I can't say I fell in love with you right away, but I do like you. I won't refuse to be in a relationship together. But you should know that I can't leave the Loki family." I said what was on my mind while looking into her eyes.

"Don't worry, it's enough for me that you accept me." Freya hugged me while smiling brightly. As I looked at this beautiful goddess in my arms, I couldn't help but sigh at how quickly things were progressing. But I don't regret my decision. I am now in love with a goddess.
