Bai Yulin stepped forward and said softly:

"Miss Amid, this is really troublesome for you."

"Ah? No, no!"

"Mr. Bai is being so formal, I feel a little embarrassed..."

Her pretty face turned red, and her eyes stayed on Bai Yulin's face, but quickly looked away.

"Let Ryan rest here for a few days. I'll pay for his medical treatment."

Bai Yulin pointed to the backpack beside him:

"These magic stones will cover the cost of Miss Amid's treatment. The rest will be used to temporarily offset the cost. I will send another batch tomorrow."

Ahmed gave a soft "hmm" as a sign of agreement.

Bai Yulin was no longer polite. He leaned over and poured the magic stones in his backpack into the cloth bag next to the treatment room. The scattered magic stones made crisp collision sounds in the cloth bag.

However, after pouring out the contents, he carefully pulled out a slender, tooth-like object with a lustrous white luster.

That is the tooth of a young dragon, the most critical target item in the commission.

"This one can't stay."

He muttered to himself and threw it into the backpack behind him. Then he turned around and nodded to Amid:

"Then I'll be leaving first. I'll leave Ryan to you."

"……it is good."

Ahmed stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at his back, and whispered,

"Safe travels."

……

Night had already fallen when we walked out of Dean Kate Treatment Center.

The nights at Orario always have a special charm.

The high moon casts silver light, the stars are embedded in the deep blue sky, and the magic stone lamps on both sides of the street flicker with soft light, making people feel inexplicably at ease.

Bai Yulin stood on the stairs and looked up at the night sky:

"Time...is still not enough."

Ever since he came into this world, he seemed to be embedded in a non-stop running mechanism. Every breakthrough and every task seemed to urge him to keep moving forward.

No respite, no looking back.

But even so, he never stopped.

Bai Yulin never wanted to experience again the feeling of being sent to the trial space by Uchiha Itachi because of lack of strength.

Shaking his head and throwing away these strange thoughts, Bai Yulin took a step and walked towards the Adventurer's Guild:

"The mission is completed, and I'm going back to sleep!"

As soon as he stepped into the dim alley, Bai Yulin's brows suddenly frowned.

That cold intuition suddenly surged up my back like a needle.

Almost as an instinctive reaction, he stepped on the ground and suddenly leaped back several meters.

The kaleidoscope in the left eye and the three magatama in the right eye began to spin violently at the same time.

In the shadow of the originally silent house, a tall and graceful figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

The bright starlight poured down, making her delicate, almost unreal face look like a sculpture of a god.

Behind her, a burly man over two meters tall, his huge figure like a rock followed closely.

Bai Yulin's pupils shrank and he recognized it instantly.

Beauty goddess Freya.

And - the strongest fighter of Freya's family, Orario's only 1v.7, the fierce Ota who is known as the ultimate weapon of this city.

Bai Yulin drew out the Kusanagi sword from behind with a "swish".

The moment the sword was unsheathed, the thunder snake hissed and flames rolled.

The vibrations emitted by the entire sword tore and distorted the surrounding night wind.

However, Freya in front of her just covered her mouth and chuckled softly, completely unaware of Bai Yulin's vigilance. She took a few steps forward at a leisurely pace:

"Don't be so nervous."

"Tonight is just a...private meeting."

"No one will disturb us."

Bai Yulin realized this time that the atmosphere around him was too quiet.

This alley is not far from the Adventurer's Guild. Logically, even at night, there should be footsteps or the occasional sound of merchants' wheels rolling.

But now, there was dead silence all around.

Before Bai Yulin could think, Freya said again:

"Ryan completed his mission quite well."

"But what I didn't expect was that even the Minotaur couldn't stop you."

Her voice sounded like praise, but also like whispering in a dream.

"You are indeed the most perfect work of art that I have set my eyes on."

As soon as she finished speaking, Freya's body began to twist uncontrollably!

In those gray eyes, there appeared a strong possessiveness and a desire that was so hot that it was almost pathological.

Her gaze was fixed on Bai Yulin, as tight as a thread, as if it would "wrap" around her at any moment.

Even the word "brushed" is not enough to describe the look that is so intense that it makes one's scalp tingle!

She was not looking at a person, but admiring a private treasure that belonged only to her, and even fantasizing about how to make it her own.

"But Yu Lin—you are not mine yet."

"This is... hard for me to accept."

Freya took a step forward.

"Join me, Yulin..."

"Become the man who stands behind me like Ota..."

Bai Yulin narrowed his eyes slightly, and the familiar voice in his mind seemed to appear again:

[Completion conditions: Respond to contact from Freya's family and successfully resolve or confront a family conflict.]

"So, in the main storyline, the so-called contact and conflict..."

"From the beginning to the end, are you talking about Freya herself?!"

It’s not Ryan, not the Minotaur, not any of Freya’s other subordinates, but the one in front of him who is sick to the core - the goddess of beauty Freya!

The real "option" of the main quest lies in her invitation:

——Acceptance means actively submitting, which resolves the so-called conflict.

——And to refuse... is to confront head-on.

In other words, Bai Yulin's next words will determine whether the mission is completed or not, and even from a certain perspective, it will determine the future relationship structure of the entire Orario.

He got it.

Now I am once again standing at the crossroads of fate.

Bai Yulin just looked at Freya, and did not immediately respond to her invitation to join the clan. Instead, he said:

"You just mentioned Ryan... Is he also your order?"

Freya raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile on her face:

"Instructions? How could that be? I just met him on the top floor of the Tower of Babel and chatted with him for a few minutes... but I didn't 'order' him to do anything."

Bai Yulin stared silently at Freya's unrealistically perfect face, his mind rapidly turning over the cognition and settings related to her.

God cannot use "power" in the underworld.

He was very clear about this rule. Since coming to the human world, all gods must seal their own divine power and enter a restricted state.

You can’t interfere with fate, you can’t change the world, you can’t perform “miracles”.

It is for this reason that the power of "charm" possessed by Freya has never been the so-called divine power, but an essential ability brought about by her existence as the "Goddess of Beauty".

She did not actively charm, and in her eyes, charm never "happened".

Just standing there, saying a few words and smiling was enough to make Ryan surrender.

It is not a deliberate manipulation of power or a well-thought-out conspiracy, but the natural suppressive gap between divinity and mortals.

So this also explains why Bai Yulin can so easily break through the enchanting light curtain in Ryan's heart.

but……

If Ryan really approached him deliberately under Freya's instructions, even if he had just woken up from the charm, he would draw his sword without hesitation and wipe out the roots.

Being bewitched without knowing it is innocent.

But those who actively cater to the gods and stab you in the back are your enemies.

"fine……"

Bai Yulin thought silently in his heart,

"Fortunately, he's just a poor wretch being used as a tool."

At the same time, Bai Yulin was also glad in his heart that he followed his heart.

On the opposite side, Freya was still smiling, not caring at all about the intense thoughts in Bai Yulin's mind.

She approached step by step, as if admiring a collection that would eventually become her own:

"So, Yu Lin, you haven't answered me yet."

"Join me. The Freya family will be perfect with you."

As Freya got closer and closer——

"Shhh!!"

A shadow instantly cut through the night.

Bai Yulin's figure had already appeared on the roof several meters away, and his red Sharingan slowly rotated in the night:

"I can't possibly betray Loki."

"I don't want to join Freya's family either."

Below, Freya was slightly startled, but the smile on her lips did not fade away. She even smiled more happily, as if she had guessed this result a long time ago.

The fierce man Ota behind her frowned.

Bai Yulin's sudden disappearance and reappearance was like the concept of space "jumping" out of thin air. Even he, who was at Level 7, couldn't catch any sign!

Moreover, there was no so-called magical fluctuation around, and no one heard Bai Yulin chanting a short article.

"Is it magic... or some kind of skill?"

"No... not like anything I've ever seen."

Ota looked at the boy above him, and for the first time, doubts arose in his mind.
