The purple furred cat travelled through the city a bit more until his senses were mesmerized by the smell of delicious food coming from the most popular inn in the city.
"Meow~" It meowed in delight of this smell. It came directly from the establishment called 'Hostess of Fertility'.
Since it's a cat, the neko can't open the door obviously, it waited for a minute until someone opened the door. It entered the establishment quickly and stealthily without anyone noticing.
The waitresses went north and west with their commands. During the afternoon this place was the hit among adventurers who come to relive the accumulated stress, or in the worse cases drunk themselves up until they forget the horrors they experienced during the day.
"Oh~?" A sliver haired waitress noticed the neko.
"Oooh~ You cute thing~" The silver haired young woman mumbles.
"Syr! The hell are ya doin' ?! We got five more beer orders at Table 5!!" Her manager called out.
"I-I'm on i—" Syr wanted to let go of the cat but somehow, it was so cute she just can't let go. As if she was hypnotized by the domestic animal.
And just a few minutes later...
"Damn it where's Syr?!" Mia yelled, overwhelmed by the orders and no one around to help her.
"I-I don't know Mia-sama! She's gone!" Anya, another employee announced.
"I'll work two times harder Mia-sama. We need to end this now." Ryuu Lion, the cold mysterious elf girl and everyone's favorite waitress, is taking her job at the establishment twice as serious as anything.
During the meantime, Syr is found ascending to the highest floor of the Babel tower while holding the purple neko from before.
But this time, her expression was much different from before. Her eyes showed near death and emptiness. Holding the neko with both hands while it caressed Syr's face with its fluffy tail.
*Ding*
Arriving there, the doors of the elevator opened up— the first thing that met up with Syr was a tall humanoid individual with a buff physique and torso naked. His expression was quite stern and his hand pointed up.
"Ottar." She says.
"Welcome back, my goddess." He replies.
When Syr passes through Ottar, a millisecond passes with her unseen. When we get a sight of her once again, Syr's appearance immediately changes. She's a whole new person now.
her appearance changed from the handsome characteristics of a woman to a beauty that is superior and outstanding even among the gods.
Her clothing changed from the maid outfit to clothes that are in large part black and red, exposing most of her stomach and breasts and two flower-like ornaments in her hair.
"I will prepare your bath, Goddess Freya. Allen will escort you to the waiting room." Ottar says, then he leaves towards the bathroom.
"I'm here I'm here..." Allen says nonchalantly as he walks towards said Freya that used to be Syr.
"Meow~!" The neko jumps from Freya's hands and hides behind Allen.
"Th-- The f—" He swears but stops it from going outloud when he realizes he's in the presence of Freya, his goddess.
"Fufu~ I'm sure you're surprised about the guest I brought in so I don't mind that reaction of yours~ Allen-kun~" She says, seductively.
"What's a cat doing here Goddess Freya??" He asks, confused.
"I don't know myself~ But it mesmerized me~.. Now, how about escorting your goddess to the waiting room~ the cherry on the cake would be a delicious cup of wine to kill the time~" Freya says.
... "I'm sorry, but that won't be possible to miss Freya~"
Freya immediately turns around when hearing this voice she had never heard before in such a confidential place such as her headquarters.
"..!!!" Freya's shocked when she sees near one of her most powerful adventurers Allen.
The neko was nowhere to be found. All that remained from that mysterious cat was a beautiful young teenage girl with purple hair and Holden shiny eyes that glimmered with every passing second.
This girl was no stranger— a figure, a literal divinity known throughout the entirety of Orario. The most powerful girl in the legendary Nox Familia, a girl so powerful her level measuring was classed top-secret with only the most influential people knowing about her actual level.
Her name was Ultima, a devil.
"A-ALLEN!!" Freya yells out loud.
"Yes please~" Ultima says. She lets go of Allen. The latter collapses on the ground, lifeless, his eyes empty of any emotion. Only his body was left, his soul served as a snack for the primordial goddess.
"Y-You.. what did you do to Allen?!" Freya shouts angrily.
"I think you and me are going to have a little conversation miss Freya~" Ultima says. She snaps her fingers and makes a field force surround the entire area.
Her golden apartment had turned completely gray, devoid of any whatsoever colors and completely retrospective. Allen's body froze mid air, trapped in this curse Ultima just created.
"We have all the time in the world. So why not enjoy it around one of your nicest drinks~" Ultima says, pointing towards the gray couch in front of them.

( Freya POV )
The situation doesn't look good... I've heard that this girl is the most unreasonable among all adventurers of the Nox Familia... There's even rumors saying that she sold her soul to the evil in order to obtain such high level...
I take a glance at said Ultima, she's just staring at me with the same mischievous smile and malicious aura emitting from her body.
I don't know the purpose of her presence but it can't be just to say Hi.
I look at my hands.. They're shaking. I can't shake this feeling off.. The feeling that I'm sitting in front of death itself...
Suddenly, her lips curl up and form the first words that break this silence which lasts for an eternity and more.
"I think you're asking yourself why I'm here~.. It's simple! I wanna help you out!" She says.
"Help? Help with what? After Akira reconstructed our entire country, I can't see myself demanding anything more..."
"Hmm~ I know what you want~"
I grasp my dress from below then ask, "And what might that be that I don't even know about?"
"You wanna be with Akira, don't you~" She giggles.
That name... That simple word is enough to turn me on..... I must stay focused... I can't let her see my weakness.. or else she'll use it against me... And I can't afford that, I can't lose my chances..
"Admit iiit~ You love him~ You love him to death don't you~ Love love love love~" She teases me.
Those teasings are becoming overwhelming, I can't help but want to open my heart to someone who really understands me... But she knocked Allen down or maybe even killed him, I can't trust her... Not now...
"You'll go to even abandoning everything to be with him~ Isn't it a shameless bitch~" She says.
"....." It's becoming even harder to contain myself, I can't even argue with those insults..
She knows..
"This much restraint is bad for your mental health little mortal~ I know how it feels, because I, am also obsessed with him~ I just wanna be one with him~ I want to kill everyone and offer their corpses to him as gift~ I want to conquer everything for him~ I want him to have everything, even me~ ME FREYA I WANT HIM TO FUCKING TAKE ME!! MEEEE!!!!"
What the fuck?!
( POV Change— Ultima )
Oops, went a bit overboard there, but suddenly the girl just jumps from the couch and yells back, "YES!! I FEEL THE SAME THING DARLING~!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS TRUE LOOVE~!!"
"Hehe~" I laughed discreetly.
"I'm so happy we understand each other~" I say.
I then catch her hands gently and start caressing them. The little Freya blushes when she feels the contact with my soft hands, it's so easy to manipulate someone blinded by love~
"Then~ What if I tell you there's a solution~ I way for you— no, for us both to love him together... Forever~"
"...Wh—What is the way..? *sniff* He definitely hates me... I can't get to him, he's not like the others, he's a god!" She yells, frowning with sadness.
"Why not turn that hate to love~?" I suggest, she immediately listens to me.
"H-How is that even possible..?" She asks.
"It is... And all you have to do, is to read this and agree to it."
*Snap*
I snap my fingers which make a parchment materialize from a purple flare that formed on the palm of my hand.
"T-This..." She mumbles subconsciously.
"It is what you think it is~ a way for you to get to be 'loved' by someone waaay past your league~"
"Or maybe you just wanna stay alone forever and ever~" I add.
Freya glances at the parchment with analytic eyes, her eyes widen with each passing word she reads.
"Th—This is too much!!" She yells.
"No no no little Freya~ The Hardest decisions require the strongest wills~ If you wanna succeed, you'll need to make sacrifices~"
"B-But still—" She says, I interrupt her.
"It'll be worth it, you'll thank me later~"
Maybe I should hide my expression, I'm certainly displaying my most evil and malicious smile right now, better control the urge before I end up opening my mouth a 'bit' too much hehe~
But I certainly understand her reaction, after all, she's selling her soul to me, hehe~.
