Chapter 787
At the Freya Familia's residence, in the external Battle Wilderness courtyard, a group of Freya Familia members were already slaughtering each other in training early in the morning, simply because their Goddess liked true warriors.
Therefore, to cater to their own Goddess's preferences, the Freya Familia's people would normally use this method of mutual slaughter harsh training to improve their own martial prowess.
As fellow top-tier major Familias of Orario, the average Level of Freya Familia members was higher than that of Loki Familia members, and this was the reason.
"They don't seem to welcome me very much."
Broly's arrival attracted the attention of the Freya Familia members, and regardless of gender, each one's gaze was more ill-intentioned than the last.
"Most of those who join our Familia are guys who adore our Goddess; you want to help our Goddess find her Destined Encounter target, and they already know this. For them, who crave Lady Freya's favor, it would be a miracle if they could welcome you.
Incidentally, I myself don't welcome you either, but since you are Lady Freya's guest, I had no choice but to come receive you————"
Hedin pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge while speaking, and swiftly led the Saiyan youth through the Battle Wilderness.
During this time, although Broly suffered the ill-intentioned gazes of many Freya Familia people, no one actually came forward to find trouble with him.
And this was normal; he had already displayed sufficient strength in two War Games.
The Freya Familia people weren't fools; they didn't believe they had the ability to provoke a guy who could, with individual power alone, overturn the entire Ishtar Familia.
At the very least, members below Level 6 believed they lacked the qualification, while members of Level 6 and above, due to their loyalty to their own Goddess and knowing their Goddess's true attitude toward the Saiyan youth, also wouldn't do something like finding trouble with him.
Broly was brought into the Silver Mansion, and in a luxurious room, he once again saw the dignified and gorgeous Freya.
"So, how do you plan to help me find the Destined Encounter target I want to find?"
Freya observed the youth with curious eyes, and asked with great interest.
"That is naturally to go out and search; please, Lady Freya, change into unremarkable attire, and come with me to go out and search for that kind of Encounter target!"
"What, you want to take Lady Freya out of Orario to the outside to find people?"
Hearing this, before Freya could speak, the White Cane Pallum Hedin stepped out to stop it.
Last time the Goddess acted willfully and ran off once, it nearly threw the entire Familia into chaos.
If she runs off again, how can that be allowed?!
"No, I have no intention of leaving Orario."
Broly hurriedly shook his head in denial.
"Uh————"
The words Hedin wanted to say next were directly blocked back.
"Search in Orario? Can that even find them?"
The eldest of the Pallum four brothers asked directly.
"I don't know if we can find them, but we have to try searching."
Others still wanted to speak, but were interrupted by Freya.
"Alright, this is this kid fulfilling his previous promise to me; I should give him the chance to fulfill the promise. Haize, prepare casual clothes convenient for going out for me."
The girl who looked somewhat similar to Main, also with pink hair in twin tails, acknowledged and went down to prepare.
Broly glanced at her back once, then turned his gaze toward the Main Seat, where the Goddess had been watching him ever since he entered.
Meeting the other's gaze, Broly inquired: "Lady Freya, is Helen not attending you today?"
"Helen is on leave today." Freya replied casually, then asked, "Why, do you have business with her?"
"I am her Younger Sister's boyfriend; I thought if Helen was here, I'd go say hello to her."
"Too bad, Helen happens to be out, went out shopping."
Broly nodded, didn't say anything more, and Haize quickly prepared the clothes.
Freya returned to her own room, and came out wearing an inconspicuous hoodie.
And the inconspicuous hoodie, worn on this Goddess's body, still accentuated her curvy figure.
Of course, compared to her normal attire, it was indeed much more low-key.
"Broly, I'm ready."
"Then let's set off."
Broly extended his hand toward her; Freya merely paused for a moment, then smiled and reached out to clasp the youth's palm.
When being led along, Ottar subconsciously followed, but was glared at by Freya turning her head back.
"Ah, Lady Freya, you don't plan to bring Ottar along?"
Hedin couldn't help but speak up.
"Since I've been required to dress like this, naturally I don't want to attract others' attention; bringing Ottar as a guard by my side, is that not afraid others won't discover me?"
"Since Ottar is too conspicuous, we can switch to an inconspicuous guard to follow you, Lady Freya."
"It's just going out to search for someone, there's no need for a guard to follow; besides, who in Orario doesn't recognize me?"
Freya smiled at Hedin; Hedin heard the Goddess's subtext: 【I don't want a bunch of Third Wheels following on a date.】
"But you're concealing your face like this; what if someone accidentally bumps into you————"
The Elf voiced his worry.
"Hedin, what you say makes sense."
"Then————"
"But don't I still have this kid Broly by my side?" Freya turned her gaze back to the Saiyan youth, and asked, "You'll be responsible for guarding me, right?"
"Mhm, since I'm the one who invited you out, I'll naturally be responsible for guarding Lady Freya's safety completely. Mr. Hedin, I can guarantee to you all that I won't let Lady Freya suffer any danger.
Broly spoke seriously.
"Heard that, Hedin?"
Freya looked at her own Elf.
"Since it's like this, then, I will obey your Divine Will."
"Hedin, we're really not dispatching any guards at all, and just rest assured letting the Hestia Familia guy take our Main God running around outside?"
After Freya left with Broly, one of the Flame Gold Four Brothers directly asked their own Elven Vice Captain.
"What can I do? Lady Freya clearly just wants to enjoy a two-person date with that guy. If I keep stopping her and insisting on sending guards, I'm afraid it'll only draw Lady Freya's displeasure."
Hedin was also somewhat helpless.
"People still have to be sent. It's just that they won't be so-called guards, but rather our own people who happen to have shopping needs and are passing by the place Lady Freya is preparing to go for her date!"
Battle Wilderness halted their daily training, and a group of core members of the Freya Familia were mobilized by Hedin.
"Stow away all the badges representing the Familia on your bodies. This time your mission is to hide in the shadows, protect Lady Freya's safety, and escort Lady Freya's date. During this period, you are absolutely not allowed to be discovered by Lady Freya. Understand?"
"Understood, Lord Hedin."
"All for our Main God."
"All for Lady Freya!"
The main force members of an entire top-tier Familia directly halted their daily combat training, changed into casual clothes, and began their operation.
And the difficulty of this operation lay not in the guarding work, but in how not to be discovered secretly guarding.
When Lady Freya isn't using Divine Power, she naturally wouldn't discover their secret guarding. But the problem is that Saiyan boy from the Hestia Familia — would he discover the situation of a large group following behind them?
If the other party told Lady Freya about this, then when Lady Freya returned, getting a scolding would be inevitable for himself.
Fortunately, after having people follow them all the way, Hedin received no news of Familia members being discovered by the Goddess. And whether it was Broly or Freya, both acted as if they hadn't discovered anyone following them, strolling leisurely all over the streets of Orario.
"Lady Freya, what do you think of that girl?"
"Lady Freya, what do you think of that boy?"
Broly would from time to time point at some passing young men and women with relatively pure Breath, asking Freya's opinion of those people, looking like he was seriously helping the Goddess search for the Encounter Target she wanted to find.
And Freya smiled and shook her head: "Broly, Gods also look at outer appearance, but I myself look more at the inner self. Those people you pointed out are all quite good (their Souls all have nice Colors), but compared to the Encounter Target I want to find, there's still a very distant distance (compared to your Soul Color, they're simply not worth mentioning)————"
"Ah, this really is troublesome~"
The Saiyan boy said with a sigh.
"That's for sure."
The Goddess smiled and replied with a sentence.
"Lady Freya, we've walked quite a distance and looked at quite a few people. Don't know if you're hungry?"
"I am a bit hungry. You want to treat me to food?"
"A few days ago, during the Monster Festival, I ate a lot of good street snacks around here. If you don't mind eating those things, I'd like to invite you to taste them."
"Although I'm a Goddess, I'm not so delicate that I won't eat roadside stalls. So, no problem."
Near noon, Broly began treating Freya to roadside snacks. He ordered everything he'd eaten during the last Monster Festival when he went on a group date with everyone.
Of course, Freya couldn't eat that much. So Freya just tasted lightly and stopped, while Broly was responsible for finishing off the food the other party had left over.
This scene made the Freya Familia members hiding in the shadows grit their back teeth until they nearly shattered. Eating the Goddess's leftovers, an indirect kiss with the Goddess — it was simply too enviable.
And what made them even more jealous was that the Goddess would even actively request to eat the food the boy had eaten, and specifically bite the spot the boy had bitten.
This kind of extreme pampering from the Goddess was something even they, as the other party's children, had never enjoyed.
Morning was spent seriously searching for people; noon turned into shopping and eating snacks.
By afternoon, it was eating snacks, chatting, and searching for people all at once.
Time quickly arrived at evening. Having searched hard all day for a destined Encounter Target yet finding nothing — a situation that should make one depressed — but Freya's mood was very good.
Because she'd been with Broly all day. Although the purpose was finding people, it felt like they'd dated all day.
"Didn't find anyone. Lady Freya, aren't you disappointed?"
The two arrived at Hero Bridge, where few people come. Broly asked the Goddess behind him who looked somewhat happy.
"I'm not disappointed————"
Freya touched her face, detected she might be smiling too happily, and so found an excuse.
"Perhaps it's because I'm already used to not being able to find a destined Encounter Target."
Saying this, she came to the bridge side, propped her elbows on the stone bridge railing, gazing at the sparkling river surface reflecting a beautiful face full of joy.
Freya slightly restrained the happy expression on her face, then continued: "However, I won't give up searching for a destined Encounter Target. Broly, will you come help me search again tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow... I have a bit of other business."
"What business?"
"I have another Elven girlfriend. She needs money more urgently. Tomorrow I'm preparing to take her to the Deep Floors to earn money."
Broly answered truthfully.
【Ryu me————】
Freya realized who the boy was talking about, but didn't insist.
"It's fine. As a Goddess, what I don't lack is time. When you're free, come help me find a destined Encounter Target again."
A date conducted on the pretext of helping find people — no matter how many times such a date came, Freya felt it was fine, and was willing to wait.
"Thank you for your understanding, Lady Freya."
Broly expressed thanks.
Just when Freya thought the Saiyan boy was preparing to send her back, she saw Broly extend a hand.
"Lady Freya, before sending you back, I wonder if you're willing to dance with me the rest of that dance we didn't get to finish before?"
", here?"
"Right, here. Do you dislike that there's nothing here?"
"That's not it. Hmm, do you know what's most important for dancing?"
"Is it background music?"
"No, it's the dance partner. And you're clearly a good dance partner."
"So, what does Lady Freya mean?"
"Before we finish the dance we didn't get to finish here before, just as I wish."
Freya placed her hand on the Saiyan youth's outstretched hand for the dance, and her height of 1.7 meters actually made her half a head taller than the current Broly.
So, it looked just like an older sister leading her half-grown younger brother in a dance, completely different from the experience when Syr, at 1.66 meters, danced with the youth before her; the dance's leader had shifted from the youth last time to her now.
A silent dance concluded, and the sky had already grown dim.
Freya maintained the posture of embracing the youth's waist, looking down at the youth before her from her height.
Gazing at those slightly pitch-black eyes, Freya pursed her lips.
She somewhat wanted to lean in and kiss him, but restrained herself.
"How about it, Broly, is my dance skill not bad?"
She asked with a smile.
"Lady Freya, your dance skill is superb."
Broly did not stint on his praise.
"Just don't know how you find me?"
He suddenly asked.
"Your dance skill is not bad either."
"I'm not talking about dance skill."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"As an Encounter Target, Lady Freya, how do you find me?"
Freya's eyes widened; she hadn't expected Broly to ask this question.
"What, not only did you Encounter my kid's Younger Sister, but you also Encountered other girls, and now you still want to come provoke this Goddess-sama?"
Once she reacted, she looked at the youth with a slightly teasing gaze and asked.
"Not allowed?"
【Allowed it is allowed————】
In fact, Freya's heart currently held some delight; the Saiyan youth actively expressing his desire to Encounter proved that she, in her Goddess posture, had her Charm acknowledged by the youth.
However, amidst the delight, Freya again felt an inexplicable sense of loss; Broly's Soul Color was not inferior, but her feeling toward the youth had changed somewhat.
The original sense of longing for the youth before her seemed to have suddenly become less urgent; of course, Freya still liked Broly, but she suddenly felt this youth might not be the Destined partner she had been waiting for.
"Then it depends on your performance; if you perform well, this kid, perhaps I will Agree to Encounter with you."
Freya replied with a smile, but after the Encounter, perhaps this Saiyan youth would become a passerby in her own long God Life.
Just like those many Encounter Targets she had met in the past who momentarily moved her heart, ultimately becoming embellishments in her God Life pursuing True Love.
Perhaps occasionally remembered, but with the passage of time, Destined to become Unremarkable.
【Perform well to be allowed Encounter?】
Broly thought on these words, and while seeing Freya off outside the Battle Wilderness, just as the Goddess smiled and bid him farewell, he suddenly asked the Goddess preparing to walk back a question: "Lady Freya, will you still drink Peach Love tonight?"
", why would I drink————"
Freya's words paused; she looked at the youth with some astonishment.
"I don't know what's between you and Syr, but if you are one of the Syrs I know, then I think I am your Destined Encounter Target.
And if you aren't, then I Apologize to you here, because I cannot fulfill the previous Promise to you, to help you Find the Destined Encounter Target."
"The Promise to Find the Destined Encounter Target, then I think you've already completed it————"
Speaking to here, Freya's Voice/Tone began to change, from Queen to maiden.
"Broly, how did you Discover I am Syr?"
And the Goddess's face also changed into the Tavern Quest Board maiden's appearance.
She looked at the youth opposite with a somewhat Curious gaze.
"Before coming, I asked Syr about Miss Helen's information, and in the Afternoon when we Chatted, I also asked you about Miss Helen's information.
Very interestingly, the Miss Helen information Syr told me, and the Miss Helen information you told me, presented completely different situations.
The Miss Helen information Syr told me was more like you, Lady Freya, while the Miss Helen information you told me was instead like the Syr I Occasionally Encounter."
"So, I was just Discovered like this?"
"Mm."
"But you for No Reason, why would you ask about Helen's matters?"
"Not No Reason; still remember at the Apollo Familia banquet, our First Time meeting, when you Touched my face, the subconscious Gesture of pinching my earlobe?"
"What about that?"
"When Syr Touches my face, she likes to Conveniently pinch my earlobe."
"Ah, so, you've been Doubting me since that time?"
"No, at that time I didn't Doubt; it was afterwards when you Asked me to meet at the riverside, then at our second meeting, you Touched my face again, made the same Gesture, that gave me some Doubt.
Of Course, specific Confirmation was today, when you were with me and Shopping Eating, you Unintentionally revealed many Details only Syr would have.
Although I can't sense your Qi similarity, identifying a person isn't only from Qi this one Aspect; some small Habits, some subconscious actions, some similar preferences, if only a few are the same, it could still be called coincidence, but if Mostly the same, then it can only prove, Lady Freya, you are one of the Syrs I know."
"So, Broly, having Discovered this secret of mine, what do you want to do now?"
The Heart Moved feeling that had just faded had now completely returned; the maiden-posture Freya's face was somewhat Blushing, she Directly asked.
"I don't want anything; the right to choose whether to Encounter with me is on your side, I won't force you to definitely Agree to Encounter with me.
Just, Syr's side has already Agreed to Encounter with me, and I've already Viewed her as my Future Wife.
No Matter you or Miss Helen, I won't allow you to Haphazardly go back on your word, on this matter you Promised me when acting as Syr."
Finishing what he wanted to say, Broly bowed slightly: "Then, Lady Freya, wishing you a wonderful night, I'll take my leave and head back first.
