"You're the first child to reject me."
"I feel honored then, for being the first to have goddess's attention."
"You're truly a fortunate child. I don't mind, though."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going. It's getting late."
After saying this, August didn't pay attention to Freya's attitude and walked away directly from her side.
Freya kept watching August's figure but didn't speak to stop him.
When August's figure completely disappeared, four figures suddenly appeared next to Freya.
"Lady Freya, are you just letting him go like that?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"As long as you order, I'll bring him back to you immediately."
"No need. It's still too early now. Fine wine needs time to ferment to become more mellow. It's the same with him."
"Yes, Lady Freya."
Although they said so, the four of them had no good feelings towards August. His appearance had gained all of Freya's attention, making these people who had dedicated everything to Freya feel unbalanced.
They would follow Freya's will and do anything for her, even bringing August back to offer to Freya. However, this didn't change their lack of affection for August, they even felt strong resentment.
After glancing at the four of them, August continued walking towards the direction of the Babel.
The four hurriedly followed. Guarding the goddess was their purpose in existence, surpassing everything else.
On the other side, August felt the overwhelming lust surging within him.
This encounter with Freya, and even being licked on the earlobe, allowed August to absorb a large amount of lust from Freya.
This was almost catching up with the lust he obtained when he strolled through Entertainment District before.
August speculated that his current strength was definitely among level 4, and the gap to level 5 had been significantly reduced.
This made August feel an impulse to go back and have a real fight with Freya now.
The speed of this enhancement was like riding a rocket. Just a close contact like this, and he had absorbed so much. If he really devoured her, how much lust would he gain?
Anyway, it's not like he's marrying her, everyone is just playing around. August won't be captivated by her.
Since that's the case, since he can enjoy the taste of a goddess once and also enhance his strength, August doesn't reject it.
However, it's not the right time now. August's own affairs haven't been clarified yet, so he doesn't plan to involve himself in too many romantic entanglements for the time being.
Especially with a yandere goddess like Freya, it could be troublesome if things don't go well.
Soon, August returned to the Twilight Manor.
Upon returning, he saw Ais, Lefiya, Tiona, and Tione sitting on the chairs in the square ahead, chatting about something.
August couldn't help feeling dissatisfied, especially with Tiona and Tione.
Earlier, because of these two sisters, they forcibly took Ais away just after August had consummated his marriage. They even took her directly to Lefiya.
This action made August quite displeased. Matters of the heart were the business of those involved. What were these two unrelated people meddling in?
"August, you're back. Is everything resolved?"
As soon as Ais saw August, she stood up and greeted him.
And this action also made August feel very heartwarming. Perhaps Ais was with him to enhance her strength, but now Ais's heart already belonged to him.
"It's all resolved. Sorry for making you worry."
Saying this, August held Ais's small hand, and the tender skin made August unwilling to let go.
At this moment, Lefiya, Tiona, and Tione, also approached.
"I'm telling you two, don't be too intimate in public."
Tiona said casually, though she felt sorry for Lefiya, she was willing to bless August and Ais.
"Alright, let's not spoil the atmosphere here. Let's go, Ais, we're going back."
"Okay."
The two held hands and walked back. Lefiya looked on with envy.
As for Tione, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but swallowed her words.
She also noticed a subtle change in August's attitude towards her and Tiona.
A faint sense of distance had appeared, and she understood that her actions had displeased August. However, at that time, she didn't think much about it and just wanted Ais to comfort Lefiya.
"Ais, in the future, keep some distance from Tiona and Tione."
"Why?"
"Because I don't like them."
"Oh~"
Without further questioning, she just nodded. Although she was naive, she had a certain level of understanding. Compared to Tiona and Tione, who grew up with her, August was closer to her now.
He was the man she chose, the person she would live with for the rest of her life.
Now that August didn't like Tiona and Tione, Ais naturally stood on August's side.
Watching Ais like this, August liked her even more. Such a woman was the dream wife for every man.
Having strength, beauty, being obedient—no man could resist such a woman.
The two returned to their room and naturally spent a 'busy' night.
It was truly an intense and passionate night.
...
Early the next morning, August got up early.
Yesterday, he gained a large amount of lust from Freya and spent a night busily with Ais, combining to greatly enhance August's strength.
Today, August didn't have any other arrangements. Unless there were unexpected events, he planned to go to the dungeon with Ais.
After all, the second time for carrying goods was approaching. August also made a considerable profit from the first cooperation, earning 27 million valis. Considering he just ran some errands, the speed of making money was incredibly fast.
As for the matter with Tsubaki, August planned to visit her again in the evening.
After all, she was already his person, and after eating Ais yesterday, August was somewhat nostalgic for Tsubaki's breast that violated the rules.
That kind of attraction for a man was truly immense.
This was the plan, and August didn't have many thoughts at this stage.
There were still three remaining system tasks: reaching the 38th floor of the dungeon, defeating the floor master Udaeus on the 37th floor, and upgrading to level 3.
None of these three tasks were easy and couldn't be accomplished in a short time.
Although August had level 4 strength, he didn't plan to delve deeper too quickly. August wanted to explore downward little by little with Ais.
As for the floor master and such, that could be dealt with later. They were monsters equivalent to level 6.
Currently, August was only challenging a Goliath, so as for Udaeus, that could be left for later.
