In DanMachi, I Was Targeted by Freya from the Start!

The reason he could bear 'All the World's Evil' without being affected was because he had the system's help.

During the fusion process, his soul had been protected by the system. But if it were anyone else, they would definitely have been swallowed by that endless malice.

After all, even Servants would become corrupted and twisted once they came into contact with the black mud formed by 'All the World's Evil.'

As for her identity, Cao Ye didn't care. He had never been a particularly magnanimous person.

"Not good, I can't dodge—"

Watching the 'black mist' rush toward her, 'Freya's' pupils shrank as despair welled up in her heart.

"Enough!"

Boom—

Cao Ye's Explanation, Freya's Satisfaction!

Vast divine majesty—no, it would be more accurate to call it true divine majesty.

The black mist that had just emerged from Cao Ye's body instantly collapsed, returning to the depths of his soul and falling silent. Cao Ye, meanwhile, turned his gaze to the side.

Tap—tap—tap—

Crisp footsteps rang out, and then the real Freya walked out from within.

The 'Freya' who had nearly met with disaster just now also quietly began to change in appearance and figure. A moment later, she became another woman.

"Lady Freya, I have disappointed you."

The woman stood up and spoke to Freya self-reproachfully.

"You've already done very well, Helen. Go and rest."

"Yes."

Helen shot Cao Ye a vicious glare before leaving.

Seeing this, Cao Ye knew he had guessed correctly. This had all been Freya's doing. The one who had just gone out was probably the real Syr.

She had offered her name to Freya in exchange for a new one, as well as the ability to become Freya.

Like the doubles cultivated by emperors in ancient times, she would sometimes take Freya's place in overseeing the Freya Familia, giving that lady goddess time to go out and wander around.

After Freya sat down, she looked Cao Ye up and down, her eyes full of surprise.

Although Helen's transformation was not flawless, no one in the lower world had ever seen through it before. Yet Cao Ye had exposed Helen's magic upon their very first meeting. That truly surprised Freya.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Freya crossed one jade-like leg over the other and leaned sideways against her seat. Her graceful figure made the feminine hormones in the air practically overflow.

Although Freya looked lazy and carefree, what showed more was the explosive release of her charm. It was as though she were giving it away for free, putting it on clearance every second of every minute. It made people's hearts itch like they were being scratched by a cat, yet there was nothing they could do.

For a hot-blooded man, it was no different from torture.

"No~"

Cao Ye could roughly guess that this goddess was quite the grudge-holder.

I just used your allowance to spend money at your shop. Was there really any need to take it this seriously?

Gulp~

Perhaps because they were in the room, Freya's pair of jade-like legs were displayed right before Cao Ye. The more he looked at those long, snowy-white legs and crystal-clear feet, the thirstier his mouth became.

Being next to such a stunning beauty, able only to look but not eat—who could understand that kind of suffering?

Naturally, Freya noticed Cao Ye's little movements. Since earlier, his gaze had kept falling on her legs and feet. She could guess that he was probably the type who liked beautiful legs and feet.

And as the Goddess of Beauty, every inch and every strand of her body embodied the most perfect feminine form in the world.

So it was only natural that he would sneak glances at her, even become infatuated with her.

"Do they look good? Do you want to touch them?"

Just as Cao Ye was engrossed in looking, Freya's voice drifted over.

"Can I?"

Did my wish just come true? Cao Ye instinctively raised his head in excitement.

But what greeted him was Freya's teasing smile. At once, Cao Ye's 'enthusiasm' was doused. Having his sneaky glances at her legs and feet discovered and exposed to his face left him somewhat embarrassed.

"Ahem~, Lady Freya, that's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand."

"Oh? That's not what you meant? Then what did you mean?"

"I didn't mean anything~"

"You didn't mean anything? Then what exactly did you mean just now?"

Well, he had been caught red-handed. There was no escaping now.

"Whatever you say it meant, that's what it meant."

A man had to bow his head under another's roof. Here, she was the boss.

Hearing Cao Ye's words, Freya gave a soft snort and did not press the matter any further.

"Tell me, how did you discover that Helen wasn't me? You should know that her magic can deceive even gods. How did you distinguish her?"

"Uh, Lady Freya, you mean that?"

"What else did you think I wanted to talk about?"

Seeing Cao Ye's 'astonished' expression, Freya rolled her eyes at him.

Still, Freya truly wanted to know Cao Ye's answer. After all, Helen had shared a portion of her charm just now, and ordinary people could not resist it.

"Because the Lady Freya I know would never actively release her charm. But she not only released it voluntarily, she even deliberately tried to seduce me. You should know that this afternoon, it was Lady Freya who kicked me out."

"Just that?"

"Of course not. Lady Freya herself is already the most beautiful goddess. You don't need to actively release your charm at all. Only women lacking in charm need to release it."

Those words were flattery, but women happened to love that sort of thing, goddesses included.

Even if she had some thoughts about her indiscriminate power of seduction, no woman failed to care about her own charm—not even the Goddess of Beauty.

Cao Ye's words pleased Freya greatly.

Of course, there was also a 'special bonus' involved. Cao Ye was unaffected by her charm, so praise coming from his mouth carried far more weight than anyone else's.

Those enchanted by Freya could probably speak countless more beautiful words than Cao Ye.

But to Freya's ears, all of their endless praise could not compare to this single sentence from Cao Ye. That was the difference.

"Come here and massage my feet~"

Listening to Cao Ye's praise put Freya in a better mood, and she could not help saying so.

"Huh?"

This time, Cao Ye was dumbfounded. The topic had changed far too quickly, hadn't it?

"What, you're unwilling?"

"Willing, of course I'm willing. Being able to serve Lady Freya is a blessing I've cultivated for eight lifetimes."

As he spoke, he walked in front of Freya and sat on a low stool beside her. It was usually used by Freya as a footrest, but now it had become Cao Ye's seat.

Excitedly, he took the goddess's jade-like foot into his hands. Touching the goddess's foot for the second time left Cao Ye utterly thrilled.

After all, for someone with a foot fetish, something like this was practically a 'blessing.'

Glancing at Cao Ye's excited face, the corners of Freya's lips lifted slightly.

To be honest, Cao Ye's massage skills were not particularly good. He only knew how to press a few acupoints, all for relieving fatigue. And because his 'selfish motives' were too obvious, it was less a massage and more him taking advantage of the goddess.

But Freya silently permitted all of it. Moreover, this was the first time she had experienced such a feeling.

Looking at the jade-like foot in his hands and Freya's pair of long legs, Cao Ye felt that although they were perfect, there was still one slight shortcoming.

It would be such a waste for legs like these not to wear black stockings. What a waste of resources.

Putting Black Stockings on the Goddess with His Own Hands!

"Mmm~"

Leaning back in her chair, the goddess enjoyed Cao Ye's service with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

There was not a single sound in the entire room, yet the atmosphere quietly underwent a subtle change. If anyone else entered at that moment, their jaw would definitely drop.

Since when could a goddess's noble body be casually touched by a mortal of the lower world?

"Um, Lady Freya~~~"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Cao Ye's voice, Freya slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at him with some displeasure.

I let you satisfy the desire in your heart, and you still don't know how to cherish it.

"I have a 'gift' I want to give Lady Freya first."

"A gift? What is it?"

"An accessory that can further enhance Lady Freya's charm. I guarantee it will make Lady Freya the most beautiful goddess in all of Orario."

"Oh? So by your meaning, I'm not already the most beautiful goddess?"

Freya immediately caught the 'problem' in Cao Ye's words and looked at him with a half-smile.

Cold sweat broke out on Cao Ye's forehead. He had said the wrong thing again.

"Of course not. Lady Freya is naturally the most beautiful goddess. No goddess can compare with you. But my gift can absolutely increase Lady Freya's charm significantly."

"Hmph, that sounds nice. You only became an adventurer today. What good thing could you possibly have?"

Freya shot Cao Ye a glance. She did not believe a single word he said.

After all, Cao Ye had been living in the slums of District Three before. If not for her, he could not even have afforded a proper meal. In that state, what good things could he possess?

"Lady Freya, this is my 'treasure.' I originally planned to save it for my future girlfriend, but after meeting Lady Freya, I realized that no one but you deserves it."

"Your mouth is certainly sweet, but I wonder how much of it is true and how much is false~~~"

Freya had heard far too much praise and flattery.

Yet hearing it from Cao Ye now made her feel quite pleased and satisfied, even bringing a faint trace of joy. It proved that those who were favored were always special.

"Please wait a moment, Lady Freya~"

A card suddenly appeared in the air without any warning, making Freya slightly startled as well.

There was not the slightest fluctuation of magic, nor any trace of divine power. This move surprised her.

Whoosh—

The card fell into Cao Ye's hand. On its front was a voluptuous beauty, her pair of long, pale legs covered in black stockings. Though it was only an image, it was still enough to make one 'excited.'

Then, the entire card flashed with white light. The next second, a strange black piece of fabric appeared in Cao Ye's hand.

"These are black stockings. If Lady Freya wears them, your charm will rise by a great deal."

"Black stockings?"

Freya sat up and picked up the pair of black stockings.

The smooth, soft texture immediately made Freya's eyes light up. They were woven from the highest-quality silk threads, and as she ran her fingers over them, they felt exceptionally supple.

Cao Ye thought to himself that he had drawn these with ten diamonds. Though they were only stockings, the material was absolutely top-tier.

"How do I use these?"

"Please raise one leg, Lady Freya. I'll help you put them on."

At this moment, Cao Ye revealed his true purpose. Putting black stockings on the goddess with his own hands was something he could savor for a lifetime.
