After reaching a decision, Kisuke opened his eyes and looked towards Freya with a smile, "Well, please forget it. It's nothing significant or interesting~."
Then for the first ti ever since he stepped into this world, Kisuke used his soul-scrying eyes on a Deity.
As Kisuke went through her 'avatar', Kisuke didn't see her soul, but instead, a shell made out of Freya's soul's power, covering the true owner of the body, 'As expected. But 'twisting the fate of a mortal', huh. These Deities sure have strange abilities. If not for Ophis-chan, I wouldn't have noticed it without being given a clue.'
Although nothing of note changed in Kisuke's exterior and no one had noticed what he did, his target, 'Freya' had her eyes widened in shock and shuddered, not knowing where the creepy feeling ca from. She inevitably closed her arms and unconsciously tried to cover herself and tried to stop her body from shaking.

Today was a busy night for the employees of the Hostess of Fertility, Syr was happily serving the custors, especially Bell, who had co here tonight. However, when she was bringing empty plates back to the kitchen, her eyes widened in shock and her body started to uncontrollably shudder.
As a result, the plates she was holding dropped, creating a ruckus. Ryuu imdiately went beside her and asked in worry, "Syr, what happened? Are you alright?"
However, Syr didn't respond and Ryuu could see confusion within her eyes as she blankly stared at the scattered plates on the floor, "Syr?"
Only after Ryuu's second call, was Syr finally able to react. Syr faced her with a wry smile and replied, "…I'm fine. I just tripped on my feet."
But Ryuu didn't buy any of that for a second, "If you're feeling unwell, you should rest."
"I'm fine."
From the counter, both of them heard Mia's voice, "Syr, rest up. Go take so fresh air outside."
"B-but…"
Ignoring her, Mia continued, "Ryuu, cover for her."
Ryuu nodded and answered, "Understood."
Since there was no convincing them, Syr accepted it, "Alright. I'll rest up for a bit. Thanks, Ryuu."
"Just go on your way. We'll be fine here."
After so small farewells, Syr exited the pub through the back and imdiately made her way towards the Tower of Babel, 'What's happened back there? What was that feeling?'
As soon as she'd arranged her thoughts, she imdiately willed 'Freya' to return, 'Was it not a wise decision to not to see him myself?'

Back at the gathering, Ottar and the rest imdiately noticed that sothing was amiss with Freya and asked, "Freya-sama, what's wrong?"
Freya's expression returned to normal and smiled, "It's nothing. Well then, I'll take my leave. Enjoy your evening. Until next ti." She then walked away with a wave and Ottar followed closely behind.
After she left, Hestia approached Kisuke and whispered, "Did you do sothing?"
Kisuke, however, made a confused expression, "Should have I done sothing?"
"N-no… Don't cause a ruckus here."
Hers, anwhile, beca suspicious regarding Freya's weird reaction and creased his brows, 'What happened? I know Freya wouldn't make a face like that without any good reason,' his sights then landed on Kisuke, 'Did he do sothing? But knowing Freya, she would have confronted him…, even if she's a fake one.'
While Freya left in an awkward fashion, the newcor imdiately broke that atmosphere, "Not even here for two seconds, and that vixen's already showing up…"
Hestia turned towards the source of the familiar voice, "Loki?"
In a white suit, Loki 'greeted' Hestia, "Yo! Chibi! I see that ya learned how to wear a dress. You're acting so grown-up I could bust a gut!"
However, Hestia wasn't affected and snickered at her, "Just when did you get here? You're not the type to sneak around."
"Shut up! Two floppin' boobies stole my entrance, got that!?"
While they were busy with each other, Kisuke approached Loki's companion, Ais.
"Good evening, Wallenstein-san~ You look absolutely gorgeous today~!"
Suddenly being complinted on a type of attire that she wore for the first ti in her life, Ais was taken aback and beca strangely embarrassed, resulting in her blushing fiercely, "…Thank you."
But before Kisuke could speak further, he felt a movent behind him and stepped to the side to dodge a hand chop aid at his head, "You damned shady hat! Stop flirting with my Ais-tan!"
Of course, Kisuke imdiately denied her accusation, "You misunderstand , Loki-sama. It's a gentleman's obligation to complint a lady~! Besides, I wasn't lying, was I?"
Despite that, Loki growled at him to defend her precious child from his poisonous claws, "I don't care! Don't use your gigolo skills on my Ais-tan!"
Due to the commotion they were causing, they attracted others' attention yet again, but this ti, they couldn't turn away due to the individuals involved, "H-hey… Look, it seems that the Gigolo Master is making a move on the Sword Princess!"
"What!? Even the Sword Princess!? Does he have a death wish or sothing?"
"Kukuku~! I can't wait to see Loki stomp that kid!"
"You idiot! Look closely! Loki seems to be… desperately protecting the Sword Princess?"
"Hmmm… Wait… What!? What does this an!?"
"C-could he perhaps have a chance?"
That question from one Deity raised even more ruckus from the surroundings and various groups started talking about the topic until soone raised Riveria's na and discussed her suspicious relationship with the Hestia Familia's Captain.
At this point, not just jealousy but also a bit of admiration ca emanating from both male Deities and their children. Though their resentnt hadn't changed at all.
anwhile, Loki and Kisuke could only stare at each other with stiff expressions.
After a few seconds of awkward silence between them, Kisuke finally spoke up, "This isn't what I had in mind."
"Then you clearly underestimated how infamous you are. Damn you… You can take Riveria, but I won't allow you to take Ais-tan!"
"I'm not taking anyone!"
"Looks like he's even worse than you… by a lot.", whispered Hers to Takemikazuchi.
"Stop implying that I'm a womanizer."
At that point, both of them noticed that Freya and Ottar left for good. They thought that they'd stay for a few more monts but it seed that they were wrong.
Kisuke had also noticed this as he had been taking note of their movents, but this wasn´t the one that caught his attention. It was actually a familiar person who had just arrived in a hidden corner of Apollo's mansion, 'Syr?… Hmm… Looks like I shook the hornet's nest too strongly. I didn't think that she'd co over here. I wonder if I should confront her?'
Loki noticed that Kisuke had lost track of their conversation and started thinking about sothing else. Being curious, she asked, "What's up? Planning sothing nasty yet again?"
Ever since Kisuke revealed his true abilities to her Familia, Loki already guessed that he was the one behind the nightmare that she'd been experiencing. She also guessed that he was one of those who proclaid themselves as the 'Crimson Apocalypse Thieving Group.'
She wanted to ask him about it and their goal that night, until a certain possibility crossed her mind. As it was at the sa ti as the 'nightmare' happened, the ridiculous thought of them wreaking havoc throughout the whole city because Kisuke didn't like his Alias ca to her.
She wanted to brush that possibility off, but after seeing the connection and timing, she beca scared and chose not to say anything regarding that. After all, she was the one who approved of his Alias.
"Nah, I just thought of sothing." Kisuke then turned to Hestia and said, "Hestia-sama, I'll be exiting for a mont to do sothing. I'll be back later."
"What are you going to do?"
"Sort out so things."
