DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

At the same moment his eyes met God's, the slave looked away and lowered his head.

But Freya saw something different in her eyes.

"It's like a tiger lying in wait, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment..."

Although she can't compare to Belle..., it would be such a waste to give up on that brilliance.

She watched the departing slave caravan, a slow smile playing on her lips:

“Boffman, could you please take me to the nearby slave market?”

……

Slave market.

"On the left is an oasis, on the right is a slave quarter. You really have a point by putting beauty and ugliness together."

Freya arrived at the slave market, made a brief joke, and then went straight into the market.

Ignoring Boffman and the slave quarters administrator, he walked straight toward that radiant soul.

"Your name is?"

Freya slightly lifted the "boy's" chin, revealing his handsome face.

She had violet eyes, short brown hair like Tiona's, and slightly dark skin.

No, calling her a boy seems a bit inappropriate; calling her a "girl" would be more suitable.

This is a princess disguised as a man.

“…Ari.” The girl’s lips moved, and she hesitated before speaking.

"Really? Is her name Ari?" The goddess smiled. "I've decided what to buy. I'm going to buy everyone here."

She smiled confidently: "During my travels, the slaves here are too ugly and make me feel uncomfortable. So, while I am still in this city, please don't let me see these eyesores."

This statement is absolutely outrageous.

The administrator wanted to confirm something, but Freya stared at him and he couldn't say anything.

"Who do you think I am?"

"What do you take my clan for?"

With just two sentences, the administrator sold all the valuable slaves to Freya, including all of his inventory.

Boffman was greatly troubled by this: "Lady Freya, our caravan does not have enough buildings to accommodate that many people."

Freya smiled faintly: "I will also buy the castle over there."

"Huh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh—"

……

Nighttime, inside the castle.

Freya sat languidly on a luxurious couch, surrounded by countless clean and refreshed slaves who were attentively serving her tea and water and attending to her meals.

Just now, she made a decision.

These children's souls are not even mature enough, not even sprouting yet. Therefore, they need to be tempered in this desert, and when they blossom and bear fruit, if they can gain her favor, she will let them join Freya's Familia.

Before that, Boffman will hire these children to join the merchant guild, and the castle will be temporarily under Boffman's management.

"In this way, the cleanup of the slaves will end here."

Freya narrowed her eyes and looked in one direction with pleasure.

That was precisely the place that triggered her to do such a thing...

"Thank you for saving my life..." After changing her clothes, Ari performed a ritual of worship to the gods, but suddenly stopped halfway through.

She remembered that this was a ritual known only to royalty, reserved for deities.

"You are... a member of the royal family of some country, aren't you! A prince of the Kingdom of Sharzad?"

"!"

Freya cut to the chase: "You're not my target this time, but you possess a soul flower that intrigues me. Hmm, it's a beautiful violet."

"What would happen if people found out that Prince Sharzad was here?"

His secret was completely exposed in a single, unintentional action.

Arrie was shocked and furious. She yelled, "Are you threatening me?!"

Freya curled the corners of her lips: "Hmm, not bad. Is this your true nature?"

Ari noticed the goddess's teasing gaze, which seemed to regard her as if she were a pet, and her anger subsided. She respectfully said:

“I am very grateful for your rescue, but please forgive my intrusion, but I need to leave as soon as possible. I need to return to Sharzadeh. After that, I will repay you with everything I have!”

Freya said indifferently:

“I think you’ve misunderstood. I have absolutely no interest in the war between the two countries. Finding you was just a way to pass the time. From the moment I bought you, you were free. You can do whatever you want, and I won’t stop you.”

Ari asked incredulously, "Really?"

Freya covered her mouth and chuckled, "But since you've said that, I'm looking forward to your future repayment."

Arya was furious and glared at Freya.

The latter smiled slightly, "Let's stop teasing here, then..."

"Can you tell me where your first stop will be?"

Chapter 403 Freya: Is being an idiot contagious?

Two days later.

Ari and Freya, who were looking for some fun, crossed the border blockade and arrived at a wasteland located at the border between the two countries.

Ari dismounted from the camel and gazed at the city-state built on the barren hills and rocky cliffs before her.

"right here……"

Freya looked over curiously: "Where is this?"

“Uruk. A newly established force that has only been built up in the last two months.” Ari walked slowly forward, approaching the fortress step by step.

Freya followed behind, asking curiously, "Are you trying to win over a third party to the war?"

Ari's gaze was firm: "Of course. Although Sharzad's army is still putting up a resistance, it is far inferior to Valsha's forces. For victory, and for the sake of our people, I must seek help."

Freya said playfully, "Aren't you afraid they'll become the ones who reap the benefits later?"

Ari smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it."

"You might be able to ask me for help, but of course, the reward is that you have to wash up before entering my dorm room tonight," Freya said jokingly, offering her proposal.

She initially had no intention of helping the lost prince.

After meeting Belle, she was no longer so interested in other souls. She only followed the prince out of pure curiosity.

as well as……

What will her soul ultimately become?

Of course, Freya also had the idea of ​​using Ari as a dating coach, and wanted to do her homework before meeting Belle.

Freya felt that her previous methods of persuading the child were too harsh, and Belle might not have liked that version of herself. Therefore, Ari was a good guinea pig.

"I must let Belle see the best version of herself."

Freya thought to herself, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Ah, Belle, I miss you so much.

……

A moment later, Ari led the camel to the foot of the city wall.

The guards on the city wall had already spotted her and informed their god.

Aqua stood atop the city wall and spoke in an incredibly arrogant tone:

"Hey, lost travelers! Do you wish to receive Uruk's protection? If so, come on in! As long as you join the Axis Cult and worship the great water goddess Aqua, I will mercifully let you in!"

god?

Ari glanced at Freya with surprise.

She never expected that a goddess would be hidden in this newly built fortress.

The information Ari had received previously only indicated that there was a city here where many refugees had gathered; she never expected it to be like this.

She's practically Freya's possession now, and if she gets involved with other gods...

"What should we do?" Alyssa had no choice but to ask Freya for help.

Freya, too, looked at the goddess standing on the city-state with surprise.

She? How did she end up here? Did she lose the war game and get kicked out by Apollo?

Freya had also paid attention to Kazuma Sato, but she was more interested in his ability to summon goddesses to the mortal realm than in his soul.
