Apparently I have a Wife now?!
Ok Amar calm down. Let's analyze the situation.
When did Freya first show an abnormal reaction towards me? It was during the introduction I believe with the pictures and all. After that Freya has been subtle but maintained a close and 'friendly' relationship with me.
So what could be the caus-
Cough. Cough.
My thought process is ground to a halt by the awkward coughing from Rimuru. I come out from my thoughts and think about our current appearance. So I reluctantly separate myself from Freya. She did not resist me. And yes I said reluctantly, because that's how I felt. No idea why though, I mean I know some part is due to Freya being the most beautiful woman I have ever seen with my eyes. There's also something familiar about her, something tells me to never let go of her. I definitely haven't been charmed.
After we separated. Rimuru asks,"Can anyone explain what just happened?"
I just shrug since I don't know what happened.
"It's something personal so I would first discuss the matter with Amar before revealing it to others if he finds it appropriate." Freya relied.
Rimuru shrugs in response. Kazuma gives a "tsk" response. Subaru gives a thumbs up. And Scathach just stares at me like a predator. Wait why is Scathach staring at me like that? Also what does Freya mean with personal matter?
'A.I. Chip can you explain the familiarity in appearance that I suddenly feel from Freya?'
*Host's feeling of familiarity comes from the unworthy girl who rejected the host.* (A/N: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE?!)
Yeah it's like that. Maybe I am feeling this way towards Freya because of Aa-
"Don't think foolish thoughts?" Freya suddenly says coldly to me. Wait can she read my thoughts or is it the legendary woman's intuition? Probably the latter considering how ol- wait stop right there thought, that would just make it worse.
"Good." She nods towards me and gestures me to move away from the group.
"You guys can get familiar with the environment and ask Headon any questions you might have while I have this conversation." I say to them.
"I kind of know about this Tower from before. I read till Workshop battle arc." Kazuma says.
"Yeah I also kind of know about it. Only the basics though, like some positions." Subaru tells us.
"I also know about the Tower but no specifics, didn't read it but heard it was amazing after Season 1 or something." Rimuru says while scratching his head.
I deadpan at them. "And you never bothered to share this information?"
"""You never asked""", they replied.
"Whatever." I say while going away for the 'private talk'.
"So Freya what was all that about?" I ask her.
"Can you lie down? I think it would be easier to just transfer relevant memories to you." She says to me.
"But would your memory transfer magic even work here?" I ask her.
"Yes it would work, also I can use my Magic here because of my special divinity." Freya replies matter of factly while I lie down.
"OK alright, still I would ask you to refrain from using magic in the Tower unless in private." I tell her in worry because sorcerers are rare in the Tower. And she hasn't yet reached the pinnacle of power in the known Tower. I can tell she's around a similar power level as me.
"Alright darling, no need to worry about me. You should worry about these memories, it will be painful." Freya uses her magic and I accept the memory transfer. There is a sudden pain and I get overwhelmed by the sudden large amount of memories. My vision turns black.
...
..
.
I wake up after a who knows how long I passed out.
"How long was I passed out?" I ask Freya while she helps me get up.
"Five minutes darling, it was unexpectedly short I thought you would out for 30 minutes at least." She answers and I just laugh dryly. I now know why Freya is acting like this and holy cow was this unexpected and crazy. What kind of shitty fanfic plot development is this?! Author can't you do better than this?! Also this is not even Freya from Danmachi, she is some alternate version of her, I am sure about it because me being Vanadis Odr is just crazy talk so wtf author?! (A/N: Be grateful mongrel that your wife isn't a hoe.)
[An unknown being is angry at your insolence.]
Wait what? Is author a real entity? I better not mess with him for now. I thank the author for his magnanimity for granting me this life.
[An unknown being nods and forgives you for now.]
Phew I shouldn't offend the author this early anyway. Will I ever reach that level of power? (A/N: You can try 😂)
Anyway back to my story. So I apparently have a wife now?! No idea how to think about it. I mean I get it but the one who Freya loved was that meathead Odr not me, I am not like him. Sure I have had some anger issues, but I was not a loose cannon like him. Maybe it has to do with my Curse of Sloth? Is that why I am so focused on efficiency of everything, well most of the time?
All right time to get a handle on things. I am seriously not ready for this relationship, and I am honestly scared of meeting Hestia. Well it's whatever I suppose. "Freya I am not the Odr you knew in the past, would you still want to be with me?" I ask her with sudden anxiety. Where is that anxiety coming from? Is it because of author? (A/N: Don't blame me for your hypocrisy! Also is it too late to repair that wall?)
"Yes" she replied without hesitation.
"So how about we take things slow, one step at a time?" I ask her. And she nods reluctantly in reply.
I then see her attire and notice that she is wearing that risqué godly raiment of hers. There's no way a person like me can have my girlfr- correction wife walk around dressed like that so I have to find some clothes for her. Oh yeah let's check the shop. I have extra points anyway, I can buy some other things too.
[Shop:
.
Shinsu resistant Japanese Kimono= 700 points
.
Shinsu Flow Control Training Manual= 3000 points
.

.
.
Ultimate Skill Gluttonous King Beelzebub= 1000000 points
.]
Well that was a lot. Let's just first buy the kimono. Yup call me jealous and possessive but I don't like my woman flaunting her body to others, not even to other girls. Also on that note, maybe I first formed a crush or developed that obsessive love because of her similarity to Freya? I really can't tell. But I suppose I can move on now for some reason.
After buying and taking out the kimono. "Freya wear this." I tell her while handing her kimono.
She seems amused but takes it.
"Oh my. Do you want me to change into this in front of you? Also others are not that far away that they can't see us." She tells me.
"You can just use magic to wear it fast on top of that godly raiment of yours." I deadpan at her. She just pouts while she wears it by using magic. Honestly she looks quite good.
[Image for reference]
"Let's go back to the others." I say to her.
While walking back I ask A.I. Chip, 'Is it possible to attach a unique Skill that I buy from the system on my Gae Bolg? Also how strong is Gae Bolg according to Tower's item classification?'
*Currently Gae Bolg can be considered an A rank item but that's just because it's indestructible by most means. Any further development will need enchantments. And yes host can attach skills to his items and they will work like enchantments because the spear is bound to host's soul.*
'Will there be any differences in enchantments if I use Predator on Gae Bolg instead of Gluttony or Gluttonous King Beelzebub?'
*Yes but the differences will be minor. In case of Predator the appearance of the spear would change depending on what it predates. In case of Gluttony, it will try to eat every opponent you harm. And the Ultimate Skill is just a many times Advanced version of Gluttony.*
All right let's buy Predator Skill and attach it to my Gae Bolg to make it a weapon with infinite potential. OK done. My spear suddenly vibrates. I suppose it's excited?
*Host the spear wants a new name for itself since it is no longer related to its past self.*
A new name huh? Gungnir? Nah too redundant.
"You will be now be named my devouring and ever evolving spear, Jormungand!" And the spear lights up and turns dark silver with two blue beads on the spear head. [Image here]
"Wow", says Freya while admiring the spear.
*The spear's skill has evolved from Predator to Devouring. The current appearance of the spear is now permanent.*
Oh well its nice enough. Not too gaudy.
Let's buy Yellow May first. Done.
I take out the copy of the Yellow Spear which is currently owned by that crazy b!tch Khun Maschenny Jahad. The spirit of Yellow May suddenly comes out and says, "What are you doing?!" It's a beautiful blonde but I really don't care enough to give a description of her beauty.
I ignore the spirit and bring the yellow spear to Jormungand and say, "Devour".
The silver spear lights up and devours Yellow May. 'A.I. Chip what ranked item will Jormungand be considered now?'
*It was A+ rank after naming and has now reached S rank after absorbing Yellow May.*
Yes now I have an overpowered ignition weapon too.
Oh right before I forget let's buy that training manual to help the others control Shinsu. Done.
[Current Balance= 525000 points]
"Freya read this. It should be enough to cover basics of Shinsu control." I give the book to her. And she reads it in 5 seconds. After that she forms 10 baangs. Wow just wow, should I say as expected from a goddess?
We then reach the others. And then I give them the book so that they can at least master basic Shinsu control with this.
They all start reading one by one.
'A.I. Chip scan the others and give me their stats information.'
[Name: Freya
Race: Being of Divinity
Stats:
Strength= C rank Regular
Vitality= Low Ranker
Agility= B rank Regular
Soul force= High Ranker
Shinsu amount= High Ranker
Shinsu Quality= Divine and Orb
Shinsu affinity= Perfect (due to Tower's blessing)]
Around what I expected. She is stronger than me I suppose. And once she learns Shinsu control, she will get even stronger.
[Name: Satou Kazuma
Race: Human
Stats:
Strength= E rank Regular
Vitality= E rank Regular
Agility= D rank Regular
Soul force= E rank Regular
Shinsu amount= D rank Regular
Shinsu Quality= Theft
Shinsu affinity= Perfect (due to Tower's blessing)]
Theft huh, I wonder how that Shinsu Quality works.
[Name: Natsuki Subaru
Race: Tainted Human
Stats:
Strength= F rank Regular
Vitality= F rank Regular
Agility= E rank Regular
Soul force= E rank Regular
Shinsu amount= E rank Regular
Shinsu Quality= Death
Shinsu affinity= Perfect (due to Tower's blessing)]
Interesting very interesting. Also it looks like he is much more powerful than canon. And he did that without dying. Admirable I suppose. Though I wonder if he woke up to reality with that information that I gave, and not living in heroic delusion. Well whatever not my problem.
[Name: Rimuru Tempest
Race: Slime
Stats:
Strength= B rank Regular
Vitality= Low Ranker
Agility= Low Ranker
Soul force= Low Ranker
Shinsu amount= Low Ranker
Shinsu Quality= Sword and Lightning
Shinsu affinity= Perfect (due to Tower's blessing)]
Nothing much to say here. Though he seems to be more skilled in swordplay than I thought, having sword as a shinsu Quality.
[Name: Scathach
Race: High Human
Stats:
Strength= A rank Regular
Vitality= Low Ranker
Agility= Mid Ranker
Soul force= Mid Ranker
Shinsu amount= Low Ranker
Shinsu Quality= Shadows, Slaughter and Spear
Shinsu affinity= Perfect (due to Tower's blessing)]
Wow she is quite powerful. Well I suppose it's time that we start.
