"Where is my partner (Odr)?"
The goddess always whispers softly.
In the huge labyrinth city Orario, the towering skyscraper in the center - the top floor of the Tower of Babel - is a symbol of the privileges bestowed upon the Lord God who reigns over the Apex Familia. And the main god of this [Family Clan] is the embodiment of beauty.
——Freya, the goddess of beauty.
"I say, Otta."
"……no."
"I haven't said anything yet."
"Just not. Because you're out looking for your destiny again, right?"
The goddess of beauty had an expression of resentment and annoyance, which made Ota, the most powerful warrior in Labyrinth City, feel nervous.
——It started again.
This is an old problem that Goddess Freya occasionally suffers from. She wants to embark on a journey without a destination and go out to find someone who can accompany her - a partner (Odr).
But she has no sense of crisis and is always accompanied by a certain degree of turmoil.
After all, when the goddess of beauty talks about finding a partner, it means the struggle between the Familia, and the members of the Familia who are confused by her.
"Otta, when did you learn to talk to me like this?"
The pressure of the goddess showed a little.
I thought that Otta would retreat, but he raised his head rarely, looked directly at the goddess and said: "Normally, I would never make such a mistake. However, this is about the request you are planning to make, Lady Freya. , for your safety, we also have the obligation to make suggestions."
Although the tone and demeanor were very respectful, the meaning of not giving in was clearly expressed in his words.
——You are the main god of the largest faction in Labyrinth City, please respect yourself a little.
Freya became even more depressed. It seemed that she could not obtain the consent of her family members.
This is of course.
Even though she was in Orario before, she was walking around in the huge city without any bodyguards. All members of the family members mobilized to desperately search for her.
When the [Loki Familia] saw this formation, they mistakenly thought they were planning something, and a conflict occurred accidentally, which almost turned into a major battle between the two parties.
By the way.
Seeing such a miserable situation, Lady Freya just showed an embarrassed smile and apologized perfunctorily, so that the members of the family were too late to stop the angry Loki from hitting Freya's head with an iron fist.
If you travel alone, something like that will definitely happen again.
As the main god, he should understand.
but……
Freya complained bitterly: "Otta is clearly staying by my side, but he refuses to understand my thoughts."
"Please be patient for a little while. If you ask for anything else, we will fulfill it for you even if it costs us our lives." Otta quickly made amends and explained the thoughts of himself and all his family members.
"You just want to lock me in a birdcage, just like those stupid gods in heaven who just want to trap me."
"Well……"
The goddess' resentment left Ota speechless.
He really wanted to help the goddess solve her problems, but due to his hundreds of millions of years of divinity, he, a pigman, was unable to help at all.
The goddess said sadly: "Back off."
Ota said nothing, frowned, and looked back at the resentful goddess with each step.
The beautiful goddess of beauty will never be satisfied with just one love.
No, even countless loves are like this.
At first glance, the things brought about by this passion are very absurd and immoral, but this is also measured from the perspective of humans, residents of the lower world. In the eyes of the gods, I'm afraid it's not false.
Although my heart is complicated, I can understand it.
Even though I really wanted to respect Lady Freya's will, I still couldn't help but want to stop her.
However--
If she could really stop it, then she would no longer be the goddess of beauty who symbolizes freedom and unrestrainedness.
"As long as it doesn't cause a commotion in Orario, that's fine, right?" Freya dropped a letter and left quietly.
Some time ago, she first came to the guild leader's office to explain that she wanted to leave Orario.
This request was naturally rejected.
Even Freya, the main god of one of the most powerful families in Orario, needs permission to leave if she wants to leave.
However, she threatened to expose the guild leader's concealment of the Lord God's corruption, forcing the other party to let her go.
In this way, she successfully walked out of the maze city.
"Haha, are you rejoicing in your heart?" The goddess who came outside the city was like a bird escaping from a cage. She looked forward to the sky and her partner with a beautiful smile on her charming face, and murmured softly: "Then, my Where is my partner?”
Freya followed her heart and was guided by the children's words, and decided to go to the southeast to find her partner.
Before entering the Kaios Desert, I walked into a bar in search of a way to move.
As the merchants looked up and down with their appraising eyes, when the true identity of the Beauty God was revealed, the whole bar was filled with the words and deeds of those people who clearly had ulterior motives.
And she met a man there.
——Boffman.
Brutally pushing away the people gathered around Freya, he smoothly squeezed his huge body into the crowd, with a flattering and flattering smile on his face, and said that if you go east, leave it to him, he will Prepare transportation as quickly as possible.
Because he said he would act as a travel guide for free, Freya accepted his proposal.
Well, being connected with the largest faction in Labyrinth City is equivalent to gaining great benefits as a businessman. The reason is that there is a famous motto circulating in the business world: "It is better to please the powerful god faction than to please the stupid princes and nobles".
He probably had the same idea.
Freya thought so, thinking that the means of transportation prepared by the other party were just ordinary camels, but she did not expect that Boffman would give her a surprise.
--Boat!
The hull is a medium-sized ship made of wood and metal, with two masts stretching high into the sky, and the bulging white sails catch the westerly wind.
The bow of the ship made bursts of noise and was moving forward majestically to the southeast.
The goddess on the deck looked at the vast desert world and murmured to herself: "...it's amazing that there is such a ship sailing in the desert."
In the eyes of others, it must be a rather strange sight. Ships that should exist on the sea are actually sailing in the desert.
But bathing in the dry gusts and the novel scenery around her all showed that she was now sailing in contrast to the guardians of the sea.
——The Desert of Kaios.
Like the endless sand dunes of a mountain range, ships roll up flying sand from the endless carpet of fine sand, turning it into dust and sucking it into the sky. The rocky wasteland swaying in the heat in the distance is not clear whether it is a real scenery or a false mirage.
At this time a male human came over.
The man has dark skin, a huge and strong body that is different from ordinary people, and his face with a thick beard has the same flattering and flattering smile as always.
The person coming was none other than Boffman.
He was a little proud and proud, and asked as if he wanted to be praised: "Goddess Freya, are you satisfied with this desert sailing trip?"
"It's really refreshing. At least I never expected to encounter such novel things outside of Orario." The goddess was not stingy with her praise and expressed satisfaction with Boffman's approach.
And this man with a Teban turban on his head, who looked exactly like a desert citizen, was suddenly excited.
"You are serious! I, Boffman Fazl, am just a businessman, and I am willing to do my best for the goddess! Ah! Just being able to see the goddess Freya, who is sensationalizing the lower world with her divine power and beautiful appearance, is... God has given me a great favor, and I can even be by your side now. I am so lucky! I believe it is the god who protects businessmen who has favored me especially!"
As expected of a businessman, he could say such overly flattering words without blushing or out of breath.
Freya almost laughed out loud.
If there wasn't that obvious desire to please that even a child could see, then she would indeed look down on him.
pity……
Freya warned a little: "Boffman, I came to this desert to kill time. I fell in love with you because I appreciate your talent. Since you took this job, you have to find a way to satisfy me." .”
"Of course, Lady Freya! Please just leave the matter to me, the richest man in the desert!" Boffman puffed up his chest proudly, looking confident as if he wanted to prove himself. Monkey in heat.
This despicable smell of desire.
Freya frowned unconsciously, then slowly smoothed her eyebrows.
Putting aside his tendency to talk big, Freya could tell at a glance that Boffman was a very talented businessman.
"Then, I want to first check out the places around here where the most children come and go."
"Accept the order! Hahaha——"
Also, his strange way of speaking and unflattering laughter are inexplicably irritating.
But as long as you can reach your destination smoothly, these are small things.
In short, Freya was full of expectations, and even because she was immersed in the beautiful scenery of the desert, a smile appeared on her face that was different from the Queen of the Labyrinth City.
That innocent girl-like smile made even Boffman forget that he was just a servant of the goddess in front of him, and couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
So much so that he didn't even pay attention to the goddess' question.
"By the way, remember that this ship was made by the magical country of Artena, right?"
"Ah?! Yes, yes! This ship is called the Sand Sea Ship. It is a high-end vehicle that was introduced to the Kaios Desert from this country in recent years!"
Boffman quickly came to his senses and proudly explained the ship.
In addition to Orario, the magical power of Altena is also one of the major forces in the world. The ship they built can be said to be a giant magic item.
It was built by the hands of dozens of magicians and is the world's first desert-specific ship.
"Please believe me, Lady Freya, this is the fastest and best means of transportation in this desert! With its precise navigation, its performance and practicality far exceed those of people riding camels. After all, even if Is it riding a camel, or is it lost in the desert, don’t you think so?”
He was showing off his ship both in and out of his words.
Also understandable.
After all, it is the world's first desert-specific ship, and it is precisely because of this that he can firmly sit on the throne of the richest man in the Kaios Desert. It was also thanks to this ship that the goddess Freya took notice of him.
Thinking about it this way, is this ship still a ship that brings you luck?
Boffman's thick beard curved in a wide arc.
However, the goddess suddenly asked: "What if we are walking in the desert?"
"……What?"
"I mean, not taking a boat, riding a camel, or even relying on any means of transportation, but just walking in the desert with your feet. In that case, can you leave the desert?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Boffman waved his hands widely, and his expression even turned slightly ferocious.
Freya didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.
"This desert is very huge! Without transportation, you will quickly get lost in the sandstorm with just your feet. In that case, it will be absolutely, absolutely impossible to come out again!"
He was very excited.
Because this is his exclusive domain, the domain he relies on for survival, and he will never allow others to refute or question him, even if the other party is a goddess!
He has his own pride!
However, the goddess pointed her hand to the front of the boat and said, "But look, there are two figures there."
"……Aha?!!!"
Boffman hurriedly lay down on the edge of the boat, almost falling because he was sprinting too fast, but even this could not stop him from looking for the figure.
And when he saw the two cloaked figures in front of him, he couldn't help but yell: "Are those two guys idiots?! This is a desert! It is the largest desert in the world! Even if you are riding a camel, there are experienced people There is a high chance that the guide will lose his way, but those two guys walked in the desert without any preparation, don’t you want to live?!”
"What if the camel is lost?"
"No way! Experienced guys will prepare in advance in case the camel is lost, but they have nothing on them and they are rookies! They are dead, I say!"
"Is it really……"
Freya murmured softly, her eyes saw something interesting, and an idea came to her mind.
"Maybe he is the person I am looking for?"
"what did you say?"
"Povman, move the boat over."
"Lady Freya?!"
Boffman opened his mouth in surprise. He wanted to refuse, but the majestic look in the goddess's eyes made him feel that something bad would happen if he refused. The businessman's premonition is on the alert.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and stamp my feet, and ordered the crew to change the course and move closer to the two figures.
The speed of the ship is very fast.
After a while, he overtook the two of them and then stopped. The stopped ship kicked up a cloud of sand that enveloped the ship.
Boffman ordered the rope ladder to be lowered. He didn't rush down to greet her. Putting down the rope ladder was already his biggest concession. In his opinion, these two rookies were able to board his ship only because of the grace of the God of Beauty.
The two people under the boat looked at the boat, but they didn't come up. Just when Boffman was about to call them, there was a sound of "Whoosh!", and two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Wow!"
Boffman screamed and sat down on the wooden board, causing him great pain.
At this time, one of the leaders took off his cloak.
He is a handsome young man.
He bowed gracefully and said: "Thank you for lending a helping hand when I was confused. Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Lin, and I am a traveler."
