That's how it went, days passing by, and August's life returned to normal.
Every day, he spent time with Ais and Tsubaki, occasionally checking in on his lil bro, Bell. Every now and then, he enjoyed Freya company.
And so, a month passed like this.
A new expedition was ready, but unlike before, August would be joining this time.
Except for some emergency supplies, August stored everything else in the treasury, significantly reducing the pressure on the expedition team.
In addition, the original second combat squad and logistics team were integrated, significantly reducing the number of personnel involved.
After all, in an expedition, more people doesn't necessarily mean better. In the dungeon, no one knew what could happen at any given moment.
Under the night sky, Finn stood on a high platform, assigning tasks to all members participating in the expedition. On the side, Gareth and Riveria also looked serious.
This was an experiment. Due to August, Finn reduced the second combat squad and integrated it with the logistics team.
Since there was no need to worry about logistics, Finn also reduced a significant number of logistics personnel.
As for the first combat squad, it naturally consisted of Finn and the core members.
While August had strong abilities, he was still assigned to the logistics team. His position was the core of the team, and a core shouldn't be sent to the front lines.
If something really happened, it would be troublesome.
"Tomorrow is the expedition. Kid, do you have anything to say?"
Loki looked at August and spoke slowly.
For Loki, she couldn't completely understand August because he was just too extraordinary.
As a goddess, she naturally could see that August had some relationship with Freya, but August wasn't captivated by Freya. Instead, it seemed like Freya was captivated by him.
In the past month, with the intentional goodwill from Freya, the relationship between the two major familia had eased considerably.
"What's there to say? With my current strength, this is just a small matter."
"Well, that might be true."
Although he officially had a level 4, Loki had long since lost track of August's true strength.
A month ago, August already had the strength to individually defeat the floor boss Balor. Now, after a month, August had definitely become even stronger.
"It's been a month, and I'm really curious. What did you do to that woman to make her so infatuated with you?"
"Maybe it's the charm of a man."
"I don't want to hear it."
Loki rolled her eyes, showing that she didn't want to talk to August.
However, for the entire month, she had more than once felt fortunate that August joined her familia. If it were another familia, the current situation might not be so good.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
In a scene similar to a month ago, Raul hurriedly ran over again.
"August, Ottar is here again."
"Huh? Ottar is here again? Is he alone?"
"No, this time he's with a woman, uh, a fox woman."
Hearing this, August's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed out.
Loki was also curious, not understanding why August was so excited. So, she followed him.
Arriving at the gate, August saw two people.
Ottar and a woman with golden fox ears, dressed in a kimono.
"August, this is the person you wanted."
Without avoiding others, Ottar directly spoke out.
"Oh, it's been a month. Why did it take so long to find her?"
"No, we found her a month ago."
"Then why did it take until now?"
"Lady Freya taught her for a month."
This sentence made August stunned. Freya taught Haruhime for a month?
One was a goddess of desire, and the other was an extremely innocent girl who would faint at the sight of a naked man. Why would Freya teach her? It seemed like she was leading her astray.
"Hello, August-sama. I am Sanjouno Haruhime. I hope to be in your care for the rest of my life."
Seeing Haruhime stepping forward, speaking to August with utmost respect, August, naturally sensed Haruhime's affection for him. He was puzzled.
'Hey, we just met for the first time. Why are you entrusting yourself to me for a lifetime?'
"Delivery complete, I'm leaving."
After saying this, Ottar ignored August and left.
On the other hand, August looked at Haruhime in front of him. As a certified otaku, he had no resistance to beast girls.
"Haruhime, which familia do you belong to now?"
"August-sama, I used to be a member of the Ishtar familia. However, a month ago, I was saved by Freya-sama. Now, I am a member of the Freya Familia."
August thought to himself, 'Of course.' This fox girl belonged to the Freya Familia.
Although she was given to him, it felt more like she was a dispatched spy. Why else would Freya teach her for a month? It seemed like she was training her underling.
However, August didn't care. In his eyes, no matter what familia she was from, once she came to him, she became his person.
"August, you scoundrel! Fooling around outside is one thing, but letting Freya find another woman for you and sending her into the familia, you've gone too far."
"Get a grip, Loki. I'll explain this matter to you. Let's go back first."
Saying this, he took Haruhime and walked towards the familia hall. Loki, full of anger, followed behind.
Soon, in the familia hall, people gradually gathered. They were all called by Loki.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, August, give me an explanation. Where did you find this woman? Don't think Isis forgiving you means I'll let you off."
At this moment, Loki was like an angry father who discovered that his son-in-law was fooling around. This made her very angry.
Finn and Gareth both glanced away slightly. As men, they could understand.
As for the Amazons Tiona and Tione, they weren't too concerned due to the customs of their tribe. Although they used some harsh language, they didn't really care.
As for the most concerned ones, that would be Riveria and Lefiya. These two were Ais's pseudo-mother and worshiper, respectively.
