Chapter 141 - Roy's Usual Day
Freya would never have imagined that among lower-world adventurers, someone could resist her Charm.
Not only that, but he possessed Charm comparable to hers.
While she used charm, she was charmed in return.
Freya sat quietly on the bed, letting the quilt slip off, exposing her beautiful form to the air.
Her captivating face shifted from pale to flushed.
After several expression changes, Freya grew annoyed.
Thinking of Roy's hurried pants-pulling escape made her chest tighten.
Undoubtedly, without her charm, his words were mere perfunctory.
He'd never leave the Hestia Familia for hers.
His consideration was just that—consideration.
How long? Up to him.
"Me, Freya, deceived someday?" Freya felt annoyed and amused.
Lower-world folk couldn't lie to gods due to retained passives.
As goddess of beauty, besides that, she held instinctive Charm.
Yet both combined, she was played by Roy.
"Now, I want you even more!"
At first, Freya saw Roy as a precious collection—give him a wonderful dream, then claim him.
Hestia was easy to bully.
Even direct robbery, Hestia could only swallow it.
Compensate later.
Who made the Freya Familia Orario's strongest?
But now, Freya's plan failed.
She knew charm's terror better than anyone.
Beauty was invisible power.
Lower-world children chased muscles or magic, ignorant that some powers outmatched them.
For Freya, strong or weak foes mattered not—with love, none resisted.
Charm eroded sanity, shattered cognition, altered memory, destroyed spirits.
No blades needed—just a smile.
She could upend Orario alone, without her adventurers.
Thus, Hestia forbade Roy's charm use unless necessary.
It's too overpowered.
Many addicted to power ruined themselves.
Hence, Freya found taking Roy from Hestia tricky.
Past methods for snatching adventurers failed on Roy.
His powers dissolved them all.
"I must handle it myself." After long thought, Freya saw no better way for Roy but her personal involvement.
She had many ways to handle men.
She couldn't believe she couldn't win Roy.
Roy felt guilty and physically drained.
Freya was masterful at sex.
"But why no strength increase?" Roy assessed himself, finding no expected gain.
Per Lust's effect, stronger partners means better feedback.
Gods topped this world; even weak god's like Freya, should've boosted him.
Yet after a night with her, gains paled to Lily's.
[Gods' divine power's are sealed.]
After spending dimension points, Roy got the system's answer, confirming his guess.
Nothing to do.
Unsealing might kill him.
After leaving Freya, Roy didn't see Hestia directly.
He killed monsters an hour in the dungeon, then met Hestia at Hephaestus's shop.
As the member of hestia familia, he had to reassure Hestia.
Status update couldn't be missed.
After seeing Hestia and routine Status update, Roy went home to rest.
He slept till 4 PM.
After washing, Roy sought Hestia but met two adventurers soon after leaving.
Ais and Lefiya.
"Good afternoon," Roy greeted listlessly.
"What the heck!" Seeing Roy, Lefiya complained.
"You're so busy—you forgot us? Days pass without seeing you?"
Roy tilted his head, eyeing Lefiya oddly.
"???"
"No!" Realizing ambiguity on her words, Lefiya stomped, explaining quickly.
"You forgot the magic stones and drop items we need to handle, right? Don't want the valis?"
