When we arrived at the banquet, we were greeted by stares from many people. I recognized most of the people there, but there were so "extras" that I didn't rember existing.
They were characters who were not important to the story. So I ignored them and paid attention to just a few people: Loki and her familia mbers and Takemikazuchi and his familia mbers, especially Mikoto.
And there was also Freya, who was a little way off, talking to so other people. She hadn't seen us yet. She was wonderful, probably one of the most beautiful Goddesses in danmachi.
But she is treacherous. I must treat her as an enemy, at least until there are indications that the story has been changed.
Oh, and I cannot forget Hers. Asfi accompanied him.
They were the first people we talked to as soon as we entered. Even though I hadn't t him, Hers knew very well.
"I'm only at level two yet. I don't know if I'll be able to move up in level anyti soon. It's hard." I answered Hers' question.
"I'm sure you'll be able to level up in no ti. You are part of Hestia's Familia; doesn't that make you special? Both you and Bell have broken records." He was wearing a friendly smile the whole ti.
"Yes, that's right. However, Bell can level up easier than I can. He has an interesting skill."
"Hmm..."
"But it's better not to talk about it. How are you finding this feast? A little bad, isn't it?" At my question, Hers took a look around him. The only person near us was Asfi, but she was silent.
Bell had disappeared, and Hestia was standing beside the table, devouring a large amount of food. She shouldn't do that. It even looks like she is starving. Haa~~ But I'll ignore that.
"Yes, a little." Hers looked with his sharp eyes towards Freya, standing on the other side of the hall. The woman was looking directly at .
I could feel a chill in my stomach, her gaze penetrating my body. Yes, I was feeling fear just by looking at her. I turned my face away and avoided looking into her face, but then I noticed that she was coming closer.
Hers continued with a smile, and Asfi spoke sothing in his ear.
"I have to go now, have fun." Hers walked away along with Asfi. I sighed and looked back. Freya was already quite close. She was walking elegantly.
Behind her were so mbers of her Familia. They all looked at as if I were so enemy.
"You must be the new mber of the Hestia Familia." She gave a warm smile.
"Yes, my na is Luan."
"Luan? I see." Freya looked at as if she was analyzing every detail in my body. Again I felt that chill in my stomach. "How would you like to go to my Familia?" Freya asked directly.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did she make this proposal in the middle of the banquet? Freya would certainly not be a person who would do this in the novel.
She was looking at with desire. She was trying to win over here. I'm sorry, but I don't want to deal with you now. "I have to decline this proposal. I'm sorry about that, Goddess." I gave a smile, trying to remain calm.
I took a sip of the wine I was holding and continued to look into Freya's eyes.
"I see. Think about it a little better." Freya walked past , and I could feel her hand touching . If I had been more of an idiot, I would have fallen for her charm and gone after her.
But I know who she is—an obsessive woman.
'I hope she doesn't beco obsessed with like with Bell. I don't want a "flea" stuck on .' I gave a smile and finished my wine. It was pretty tasty.
"Luan, what did that woman say?" Hestia approached soon after, carrying a plate of snacks in her hand.
"She didn't say anything much. She just ca over to greet . Since I had never seen her, she wanted to know ."
"..." Hestia looked suspicious and annoyed as she looked at Freya. Freya then looked at her and smiled, making Hestia even more irritated. But I wasn't going to let anything happen between them. I put my hand on Hestia's head and called her away.
I was thinking about what I should do now.
"Where is Bell?" I asked Hestia.
"He was right there a little while ago."
"I see. I'll look for him. Stay here and eat as much as you want."
"I'll enjoy it a lot!"
"Just don't overdo it." I placed my cup on the table and then walked through the banquet while being watched by many people. I kept my composure and acted as if I didn't care.
I looked around for Bell but could not find him anywhere. I concluded that he was probably sowhere isolated because he was nervous about asking Ais to dance.
He also had quite a hard ti in the light novel.
'Ais is right there. Should I take that opportunity? Besides, Tiona keeps staring at fiercely, which will eventually get Loki's attention.' Fortunately, she was too distracted to notice.
Okay, here we go. Sorry Bell, talk to you later.

As I approached, Loki turned to look at , suspicious. But she just turned around and ignored . Unlike her, Tiona and Ais were willing to talk to . Especially Tiona.
She tried to hug , but I signaled her not to do that in this place.
"How are you? I miss you." Tiona said. She took care that no one listened. Even Ais couldn't hear.
"I'm good, and you? How is Ais after that dinner?"
"She doesn't seem so suspicious of you. We'll be able to hang out together more often from now on."
"I see. That's good." I approached Ais, and she stared at without sketching any expression. I could ask her to dance with .
