A month later.

Clatter!!

Clatter!!

Clatter!!

"Fuu~" Freya lets out a deep breath.

Out in the back of Mia’s pub, Freya is taking her break.

"Another day's hard work, Lady Syr?" said Allen from the shadows.

"Yes very much," Freya said, disguised as Syr. "But it is good to build up a sweat that isn’t sex."

"…So my lady, how goes the Town Girl act? Have you found your Odr?" Allen said, ignoring what she said last.

"Not yet I’m afraid there is no progress. Adventurers after adventurers. None has shown as much promise as him."

"The Uncrowned…If you wish, we can make plans for you to visit—"

"That is not necessary. I do not wish to give up so easily on my Odr. If Artemis, of all goddesses, found her Orion, then I can find my Odr." 

"Very well. I will tell Ottar to cancel the plans."

"Oh? Did he want to travel to the Far East?"

"Yes. I believe it is due to him wanting a rematch with the Uncrowned."

"Fufu how very him. Had it not been for my position as Syr, the Gale would never have confided in me."

"Speaking of Gale, is she your best friend?"

"…Huh? I guess she is. I do love teasing her! Oh, I need to finish my lunch before my break is over!" She took out her little lunch basket and started to eat.

"I will be back when your shift ends." Allen disappears into the dark alley.

Freya/Syr finished her lunch and got back to work.

 

When work was finished, she left through the front.

"Alright, I’m leaving! See you all tomorrow!"

"Bye Syr!!" They all said.

As she turns her head, her eyes widen. A pure white soul slowly walks past her.

"Haa…1,021 valis." said a white-haired boy with ruby eyes.

Freya watched as he slowly disappeared into the crowd of adventures returning home from the Dungeon.

She quickly rushed back into the back alley.

"Allen!!" She said it loud enough for him to come to her quickly.

"Yes, my lady." He said, kneeling before her.

"I want you to find where that boy with the white hair lives! And a name if possible!"

"?" Allen raises his eyebrows. "My lady why—"

"He is my Odr!! Now go quickly!!"

"Yes!!" He then quickly left.

Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!! Thump-thump!!

Freya’s heart was racing.

"Ah~ A soul so pure… I never thought I would find one more pure than yours, Cirrus. Fufu." A smile grows on her face as she walks out of the alley and into the crowd of people.

Freya Familia home.

"!?!?" Horn stopped what she was doing. "This... this feeling?" She grabbed her heart. "Who... Who made you feel this way??" Horn said, in a slightly aggressive and curious tone of voice.

 

Two days later. Freya Familia home, Freya’s room.

"Here are his records." Allen said as he handed them to Freya in her room.

Freya quickly snatched it from his hand and began to read it through.

"Bell Cranel? Born and raised outside in the north of Orario. The sole member of the newly established Hestia Familia… Mmm…" Freya was thinking of a plan. Allen knew where he lived, and now he is in his current situation. "Mmm… Ah!" She closed his records. "Allen, could you get me a magic stone from the 1st floor?"

"…Sure. Is it to get close to this rookie?"

"Yes." She said, smiling ear to ear. "The Town Girl is finally taking to the stage!"

"Speaking of, Ottar wanted to talk to you about Horn."

"What about?"

"It’s about the deal you both made. Seems something came up."

"Mmmm…"

The following day, in the afternoon.

"…" Freya stares out the window.

"Syr," Ryuu said. "Is there something outside that is bothering you?"

"Oh Ryuu, no, I was just-!" Her eyes widen a bit. "I’ll be right back!"

Ryuu watched as Syr quickly got up and left through the door of the pub.

"?" Ryuu looked out the window to see her walking up to a white-haired boy.

"Excuse me!" She said to get the boy's attention.

"Hm?" He turned to see her.

"You dropped this." She holds out a small magic stone.

"Huh? A magic stone? W-what!? Did I drop one!?" He said, checking his small bag.

Syr presents it to him.

"You should be more careful." She said with a sweet smile.

"R-right!" He said, with a bright red flush. "I’m sorry for troubling you! Thank you!!" He gives her a bow.

"Fufu. Think nothing of it."

And so the White Rabbit meets the lonely Goddess of Beauty—

"Tonight you have to come to the bar I work at to eat dinner!" She said with a warm smile handing him her lunch.

—With this meeting, the goddess of love will work to gain his heart.

"I’m Bell Cranel." He said with an innocent smile that made Freya’s heart race a bit. "Can I ask what yours is?"

"I’m Syr Flover." She smiles even more as she gives him an elegant bow. "It is nice to meet you. Bell."

It will be a very long—

"Loki Familia!!" shouted the people in the bar as they entered.

           Freya noticed Bell's eyes landing on Ais. So early on in finding her Odr, she now had to compete with the Sword Princess of all women.

—And difficult—

"That one! We were coming home, and all those minotaur's ran off!! You minced up the last one on the fifth floor, yeah! And then you know that Tomato Boy!"

Freya could see his pure white soul shake from the crass werewolf's comments. The more he spoke, the more she saw his innocent soul quiver.

"B-Bell are you okay?"

"Y-yes um... I am—"

"What a pathetic kid! Hahaha!!"

—Journey for the boy.

Slam!!

Bell slammed the table and rushed out the door.

"B-Bell!!"

Freya chased him after he had left.

‘No!! No!! My Odr!! Please!! Please remain pure!!’

She watched as he ran away in tears, unable to catch up to him to comfort him.

Coming up next to her was the Sword Princess.

Freya quickly tempered her anger. She couldn’t do anything as Syr.

"…" She gripped her skirt and glanced at Ais. "Your friend needs to watch his mouth." She said in a passive-aggressive tone.

"!" Ais’s eyes widened from what she said, leaving her a bit angry. "I… am sorry." She said to herself.

Walking back inside, Freya glanced at Beta.

‘I will make you regret you were ever born a dog.’

 

The lonely Goddess of Beauty will keep her eye on him to see him grow into the man he could become.
