So, while I wrangled my Goddess off the damn slime mount and almost got broken bones for my effort as a cat goddess didn't like to be taken from her perch, who could have guessed that? Anyway, after Loki was tressed up in some ropes the Loki Familia got from somewhere, we all went on our separate ways While Freya walked away with her Familia with grace...

Yeah, I wish.

"Why you two following us?" I asked with some confusion as Tione the Loki Captain's Amazon waifu simpette and one of Freya's hooded Gulliver brothers were following us quite openly.

"I am escorting you home under the request of my Lady Freya. Please continue on home, Jake of the Seshat Familia." The Gulliver brother spoke, and Tione nodded.

"I mean you guys already know where I live, and I doubt people got enough info to start an attack within not even a half an hour after the little demonstration." I complained but I held my obviously irritated goddesses' dusky skin toned hand as she obviously wanted to snap something at the two higher level adventures that were escorting us home.

"You don't know the tricks all the deities of Orario have when it comes to gathering juicy little bits of information." Tione muttered as she kept an eye seemingly atop the many buildings that surrounded us in search of archers or something despite us still being surrounded by the later morning crowds of people going about their business on the streets of Orario.

Taking that bit of information to heart as soon as me and Seshat got home and Tione and the Gulliver who wouldn't answer who he was, both left to go about their business while we were supposed to meet at the Hostess of Fertility, I asked about the stores around Seshat shop.

"Oh, those shops, I bought all that out but without a Familia I haven't gotten around to building it up yet. Why ask?" Seshat asked but then frowned as I pulled her out of her store.

"Seshat help me make an impervious house not even Ottar could break into Haha erk." I chuckled quietly and I then I violently shivered as a previously unfelt gaze seemingly tightened on me.

"Right... Anyway, I am just going to make a shell to surround your shop so people cannot launch magic or something at it." I said as I symbolically put on a miner's hat with a flashlight atop it, making Seshat blink in surprise at the sight and then I quickly used some of the large quantity of stone I got from the dungeon that was actually completely normal stone without any dungeon monster spawning effects to build a large one block thick wall around Seshat's shop tearing through the nearby shops with a pickaxe like they were nothing and also getting more building resources.

Then to give myself plenty of room after making the large box of stone walls I put a kind of stone pyramid atop with glass making up the last couple layers so a good bit of natural light could still come in.

"Alright let me make some torches to fill in the rest of the light needs." I muttered and then with the grand effort of literally stabbing a little ball of slime on a stick of wood and then using my mana to activate the slime I made a bunch of normal ever burning torches.

"So where is the door for us to get in and out of here Jake?" Seshat asked sassily as she stood not too far from me after I ran around the big stone box, I built around her shop with her arms wrapped around her chest and looking at the pockmarked stone I used to make the building with disdain.

"Isn't much of a shelter if there is a door people can just open at will, is it?" I answered just as sassily before I scratched Seshat behind the ears making her eyes roll up at my finger having learned her weak points from when she would allow me belly rubbing privileges.

"Ok I am going to get a shower first; you get the cold-water Haha!" I joked running past Seshat while she was still lost in the ear scratches.

"Neow you don't Jake!" Seshat yelled and I could hear her running after me into her shop so we could get ready for the late lunch with the Familia's. Oh, and I needed to finish opening up my Loot boxes/Goodie bags.

Not even twenty minutes later our newly made stone house shell was being beaten upon by someone or something with all the grace of an angry bull in the center of an Apple store.

"Jake! Go look and see who it is." Seshat groaned as she reluctantly placed Sir Fluffykins the First atop my Wulfrim drone so the drone could fly the immobile sentry around.

"Nope its Christmas time, we still have these goodie bags plus Loki and Freya's adventurers aren't even here, so I rather just not deal with whoever is out there." I said frankly earning an eyeroll from my goddess but then after a moment of introspection as I pulled out the last two Slime King bags and the Desert Scourge bag, she nodded in understanding.

Deciding to say the hell with it I immediately just opened up the Desert Scourge bag and did a fist bump when I saw what I got... Well discarding the massive piles of shells and other things that were all but useless to me as Danmachi wasn't short of such things at all.

Every boss gave crafting supplies for their theme of items and Desert Scrouge as was its previous lore was a massive beach worm that got pushed into the desert because of how the ocean became super acidic somehow.

"Wow... you helped kill a massive monster worthy allowing a trio of level ones or even a level two to level up and it's reward is looking like you raided a beach? Do these shells and stuff even have mollusks we can cook or something?" Seshat teased and in response I became the adult in the situation by grabbing the item I wanted Seshat was welcomed by a wave of sand impacting her and throwing her little swing backwards into a flip.

"Call me High Priest Imhotep for I shall cover this world in endless sand!" I boasted as my new Desert Cloak gave me the ability to create an extremely dense screen of sand around me that I could control and among the sheer utility of summoning a strong enough sandstorm that could shear flesh from bone, but the storm aspect also made me faster and increased my life force regeneration somehow.

"Jake... I am a goddess of the desert but if you throw sand at my face again, I will smother you with a pillow in your sleep." Seshat said dryly as she moved the blanket, she instinctively used to block out the impact of the weak wave of sand I sent at her.

"Alright alright." I said disarmingly as Sir Fluffykins the First waved a fist at me silently in fury at how it now had sand all over its once so luscious fur. "Well let's summon my new minion." I said taking the last whole item I got with it being the Seabound Staff.

Before Seshat could question what, I was going to summon I pushed my mana into the staff and with the rattle of water rushing over sand a knee-high tall sea star appeared and just fell to the ground with a wet slapping noise.

But after the large Sea Star landed on the ground it's scaled body audibly and visibly hardened as it lost its more light-colored pigments and the jagged scales covering the Sea Star darkened as it became hard and as reflective as seashells.

For a moment I wanted to call it Staryu or something. But I shook that thought off, as Seshat and I heard an even louder series of banging on the stone walls surrounding the shop.

"Well let's go see who is there... They don't seem to be interested in walking away." Seshat muttered as she hopped off her perch and gracefully walked over to me and took my arm and thankfully, we learned that my meteor armor only burned that which had the intent to 'harm' me, so I didn't like burn everything I bumped into. Which is why Seshat could hold my arm or hand, when I escorted her places, but when she attempted to slap me that one time, she basically slapped the equivalent of a red hot, hotplate.

Once we reached the square of stone wall, I place four torches against the wall to kind of outline the exit as that was where the shop door was angled directly, I could hear muffled voices coming from the outside.

Taking out my pickaxe after Seshat got back a bit I quickly busted a hole into the wall and the voices came in loud and clear before someone yelled for them all to shut up.

"Excuse me, but can I assume that the person who knocked a hole into this eye sore of a building is the creator of the structure and if not the owner of the building that lays within this abomination?" I heard a snooty voice come through the hole I smashed open.

I looked to Seshat for permission to basically say yes this was my property and she swiftly nodded smiling as she knew I had some mischievous banter already prepared for whoever is out here.

"Yes, this is my property, now. Who is it and what do you want?" I questioned and the female voice paused as if she didn't expect to be so rudely asked two questions in return.

Then I felt through the stone the same presence that surrounded Seshat, Freya, and Loki, the lady outside was a goddess... Oh joy.

"I am the goddess Aphrodite of the Aphrodite Familia! I run a sizable portion of the more respectable section of the Red-Light district as well as being the chairwoman of the Orario homeowner's association. This... Building is most certainly not up to code both in terms of aesthetics for being on one of the major roads in Orario and it obviously doesn't have municipal access." Aphrodite droned on and I shuddered at the thought that Orario had a damned homeowners association.

"What do you want specifically?" I replied again shortly and this time I heard Aphrodite huff and stamp her feet at how uncooperative I was being.

"Well obviously I, and the rest of the acting members of the Orario Homeowners Association will be putting together a referendum on whether to demolish this abomination in the next day or two! But if you actually take some time to fix this building up, using the obviously magical manner in which you built it to a level that appeal to my level of beauty, I will bless this building to stand here in Orario forever more without HOA taxes Haha!" Aphrodite proudly.

Before I could just tell her to fuck off, I felt Seshat smack me with a wooden board that visibly blackened and smoked at the impact with my armor, and when I looked to her, I saw her pointing at Aphrodite's voice's direction and franticly nodding for me to accept the deal.

"Why!" I hissed as making a nice house was cool and all, but I needed to get back into the Dungeon as I bet Freya and Loki were going to keep a level three or something on me, so I had a decent little safety net.

"Jake, this building and the surrounding property I bought is centrally located and each year we have to pay like five hundred thousand Valis! Take the damned deal!" She hissed and I nodded as being able to skip paying my property taxes were worth wasting a couple days messing with the whole building aspect of my Terrarian powers.

"Fine Lady Aphrodite I will make the building nicer looking! But I do have an engagement in a couple hours so I may very well not finish until tomorrow afternoon is that fair?" Although Aphrodite here in Danmachi was... Annoying but she was nowhere near the thot the myths would portray her as. Hell she, Hestia, Demeter and Hephaestus all cried together when they came together, as the news of Artemis's death became wide news in Danmemo.

But the main problem was my last little interaction with her Familia members... Thankfully there was no way for God's or Goddesses to find out who kills their Familia members remotely.

"Good! I shall peer upon your work in the coming days then. Don't disappoint me!" Aphrodite called proudly as she probably began to walk away but at that point, I had patched back closed the hole I made, which also ended up silencing the Familia members Aphrodite brought with her.

Wordlessly I looked to Seshat and she patted me on my head as I didn't like wearing the helmet if I wasn't going to be fighting. "It's ok Jake, with your building speed and my guiding hand we can easily make this into something more than just a box and a pyramid on top... Maybe a true pyramid with a large bust of divine self-hanging over the entrance way? Or maybe we could even terraform the surroundings and make a little self-contained river surrounding our property with an authentic villa sitting in the middle of the river... Ah that would be just like back home at Tenkai!" Seshat rambled on and my eyes dulled at the sheer amount of work it would be for me to terraform the chunk of land Seshat had bought out.

"Seshat... Can't we just make an easy castle or something?" I asked weakly and my goddess looked at me like I asked her to push aside her skirt and bend over or something.

"Ach! Absolutely not Jake Barris! If we are to build something that isn't a mere stop gap, then it must be something grand and worthy in the eyes of a goddess of architecture and another with the domain of beauty!" Seshat said excitedly and seeing my normally lounging around goddess so excited to do something that wasn't going to a restaurant gave me the motivation to do all this.

Plus having a bigger area, I can actually use for my store rather than using a little corner of Seshat's cramped store would be for the best.

"Alright Seshat. We will be built something that will stand out." I said softly as I began threading my fingers through my goddess's ebony hair and instantly attacked her weak points in behind her leopard ears making the Egyptian goddess lean against me weakly with all her strength melting and her eyes going cross-eyed. The only other major weak point she had that would mess with her was at the base of her tail...

"Well either way let's get going to the Hostess of Fertility, we can discuss what we should make on the way." I said slowing down the ear scratches so Seshat could regather her mind.

"Nyah ok..." Seshat nodded and then she headbutted me a bit seemingly wanting the more intense head scratches, but I just let go of her earning a pout.

"Come on. So much affection plays with this poor mortal's heart!" I teased earning a chuckle and mild blush from Seshat.

"Bah you are the tease who makes it difficult for me to stand... Anyone let's get changed seeing as this is likely to come as close to a formal dinner as it gets." Seshat reminded me as although the late lunch/dinner was to be taking place at the Hostess, it was going to be private little party with Loki and Freya renting out Mia's restaurant for the night.

"So, armor is no good?" I questioned grimacing as I didn't really even have any dress clothes and Seshat recalling my outsider nature to the world remembered I only bought a few different sets of under clothes to go under my armor.

Seshat sighed then took my arm. "Here let's put you together an outfit." She said and then took me into her private bedroom for the first time ever.

After Seshat got me into some nicer clothes while I kept my armor and such in my inventory for easy retrieval, we without any issue made our way to the Hostess of Fertility to meet with the Loki and Freya Familia's.

But I bet the reason why the two goddesses had been treating me and Seshat with kid gloves probably out of fear of the consequences of putting me in a corner when I could just refuse my service and there would be little Loki could do to force it even if she forced a War Game on Seshat.

"You nervous Jake?" Seshat asked me while squeezing the arm of mine that she was holding in a gentleman's escort.

I shook my head before softly speaking as we continued to walker ever closer to the restaurant and I could see in the distance a number of adventurer's crowding around where the Hostess is. "No... I am not nervous, sure this whole spawning bosses for them can be a bit inconvenient to put lightly but I brought it up knowing if I could control the process in which the cities adventurers earned their High Quality Excellia then Orario would be all but in my palm... If I don't get killed by some asshole anyway." I said in deprecation knowing all too well, that as with any man who soars to the top even if he provides a one-of-a-kind service, people will want to tear him down just because they cannot bear to see someone else in a higher position then they will ever be.

"Hmm yes, if Loki, Freya, and the other larger Familia's desire to keep Monster Rex's on tap as it were. Then they will need to work with you as they themselves cannot activate the boss summons as we have seen." Seshat remarked as Ottar had once tried on the Slime king crown summon to no effect.

So, for better or worse I was the only one who could summon bosses.

But no more words could be shared with a modicum of privacy in now cramped streets of Orario as we closed in on the Hostess of Fertility and then I could only deadpan as I saw a number of higher-level adventure's I could recognize that were most certainly not Loki or Freya adventures.

"Well... Looks like the news got out much faster than we expected." I muttered squeezing Seshat's hands as I couldn't see a way through the crowd of adventure's pressing to get through the line of level three and four adventures of Loki and Freya's Familia.

Looking through the crowd actually managing to push into the Hostess I saw the Dea Saint, Airmid Teasanare the captain and head doctor of the Dian Cecht Familia, and the other more pressing person I saw was Tsubaki Collbrande the captain of the Hephaestus Familia as well as a master smith.

I saw both those two leaders of their Familia's leading their God/Goddess through the throng of people trying to get in and seeing the famous people the Loki and Freya adventure's just let them through.

"Jake how about we just go home... We can't power through that crowd, nor do we get any recognition for forcing our way through a riot and come out looking like a group of disheveled stray cats when we meet with Loki and Freya." Seshat spoke and for a moment I thought about just doing just that. We could literally just go back home...

"Yeah... They been controlling the speed of these whole meetings a bit too much. We can meet at our place after we rebuild it and plus with that crowd, I bet Mama Mia the owner of the store is pissed anyway." I said shuddering at the thought of getting on Mia's bad side.

Sure, Ottar was stronger than Mia and all, but Mia liked beating people halfway to death with her bare hand's way too much... Her hands were rated E for everyone and had no problems throwing down with anyone that causes her restaurant any problems.

"Alright! Time to go home!" I said cheerfully and then I took back out Seshat's mount out of my inventory and used it.

With a soft splattering noise, the jumbo beach ball sized slime with a saddle atop it formed on the ground. Once I got on, I just patted my lap and Seshat just giggled and sat sideways in my lap so she could hold onto both the saddle horn and my waist.

"Am I the first lady you rode anything with?" She teased as the slime began bouncing back home and you would think we would be thrown up in the air and it would be a terrible experience, but you would be wrong. Sure, it did bounce a lot but there were no jarring motions, it was almost like riding a ship with the constant motions of the slime bouncing forward.

"Yup!" I said frankly as I maneuvered the slime mount around the people who instantly cleared out of the way of the duo who were riding a weird blue blob thing.

"Oi you are going the wrong way to the Hostess!" I heard a voice call out from the side and I looked up and I saw atop the nearby building was Tiona who was obviously looking for us...

"Thats right! We are going home there is too damn many people there and I didn't sign up to be the showcase of a mini Denatus!" I yelled back and with a mental nudge the Slime Mount trudged on.

"Wait! Captain sent me to escort you there!" Tiona cried out and I mentally cursed before I slumped against Seshat who patted my head consolingly.

"Fine!" I said giving up on the idea of taking Tiona through a high-speed escape through Orario atop my Slime Mount.

With a loud thumping noise, I made my Slime Mount leap from the streets of Orario and we landed right beside Tiona atop her building making her cry out in shock.

"Woah so cool! Aiz got one of those but hers didn't want to leap up and stuff?" Tiona asked excitedly and I hummed in thought as I had the slime mount follow Tiona at a sprint for me across the buildings the high-level amazon just jogged across the buildings but thanks to the slime's bouncy nature, we weren't jostled around much at all.

"Was she actually riding it?" I asked as we closed in on the Hostess of Fertility and Tiona firmly shook her head.

"Nope she said slime is perverted and the slime was just moping around the Loki Familia until Lady Riveria gave it the task of pulling around carts and it perked up a bit." She said raising her hands up in a what can you do motion.

Well with Ais's last interaction with slime stuff being with Loki's slime gun and having her clothes melted off of her... Yeah, that would make sense.

"Well, this is a Slime Mount... If it isn't the mount of someone it can get depressed as these things do have some personality." I explained and I was rewarded by the Slime Mount bouncing even faster somewhat overtaking Tiona making her laugh at the sight of the slimes' competitive action.

"Huh I bet Loki wouldn't mind treating it like a mount and just ride around the castle with it..." I heard Tiona mutter before she shrugged, and she had us get off the roofs so she could help push us through the throngs of people surrounding the Hostess of Fertility.

"Alright out of the way! VIP's coming through! I am going to start stomping on people's feet if they don't move!" Tiona yelled and people scampered out of the way at the threat of Tiona's level five strength being put to pulverizing the feet of others.

Once we finally entered the Hostess, I saw the damn inside was packed in a way I feared. It was practically a mini Denatus or otherwise known as the Meeting of the gods.

"Oh, why hello Seshat it's been a while. Is this your first Familia member?" I heard a soft voice reach us and from one of the side booths I saw a brown-haired beauty quickly approach us and all I could think was the word soft.

Her presence was soft, her voice was soft, and most importantly the hug she gave me and Seshat was the definition of soft as she pulled us both into her massive bosom. "Demeter don't seduce Jake!" I heard Seshat finally call out as she managed to pull her face off of Demeter's boobs while I more carefully pulled away not wanting to push the friendly goddess away so violently.

"Lady Demeter thank you for the hug and yes I am Seshat's first Familia member." I said nodding respectfully to the goddess who all but owned Orario's food supply with her massive Familia.

"Aww you are so precious!" She cooed seeing me not utterly freak out at not being pulled into her tits like most people would have gotten a nosebleed or some other nonsense. "Here come sit over with me and Hestia, Seshat it will be just like when the Greek and Egyptian

Pantheon's would meet in Tenkai." Demeter said taking Seshat and my hands and dragging me over as I blanked at the news that Hestia was here.

And low and behold was the short black haired goddess Hestia and squirming beside her was the clearly nervous form of Bell Cranel who was shrunk down and hiding his presence at being in the same room as his crush Ais Wallenstein.

"Ah Seshat you are here in Genkai!" Hestia cried out dramatically pointing at Seshat and my goddess just rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I been here for a few weeks Hestia, how you been other than famously mooching off of Hephaestus?" Seshat asked teasingly as she slid into Hestia's side of the booth, and Bell got pushed into the booths wall as two goddesses sat next to one another and began talking.

I then noticed Demeter didn't have a Familia member with her as she sat down in the other side of the booth, and I sat down beside her. "Demeter you don't have an escort?" I asked but seemingly in answer a server slammed down two jugs of beer or something in front of Demeter and Hestia and I almost whipped out my Aquamarine staff beneath the table to start blasting before I only weakly smiled seeing who it was.

"Oh, Lunor am I so alone here Hehe?!" Demeter giggled as she patted me on my arm and Lunor Faust, the highest-level adventurer of the Demeter Familia and a bounty hunter only scowled to her goddesses pointed question.

"Yes, you are Lady Demeter!" Lunor said rolling her brown eyes and then the blond spun around and stomped back towards the kitchen leaving Demeter to pout.

Both Seshat and Hestia broke into laughter seeing Demeter's dejected expression before Hestia asked the more pressing question, I was even curious about. "Hey so me and Bell got stuck here as we came in earlier so what's even happening anyway?"

Demeter merely shrugged and for a moment I wondered if I wanted to get closer to Bell and his nonsense before I firmly shut down those thoughts and decided to not volunteer the information that Hestia wanted.

And seeing my not respond Seshat threw me and imperceptibly smile and she herself didn't say anything as we all just settled in for a bit.

"Oi what is the man of the hour doing with the Chibi and Demeter!" I heard Loki yell out and I looked over to see Loki stomping over to me and then the flat chested goddess grabbed me by the lapels of my dress shirt.

"Help me get another slime gun! My damned brats encased it in molten stone and buried it in the Familia graveyard!" Loki cried out and I saw Lefiya who was given the thankless task of pulling the goddess back blush as the gods of the room burst into laughter as apparently the news about Riveria, and Ais getting their clothes melted in public had spread.

"Ais's clothes really melted!" Bell squeaked out and a quick glance at the man showed him looking beet red at the thought.

"I rather not every woman in your Familia attempt to kill me Loki." I said dryly and then while Loki slumped in defeat at my clear refusal Lefiya pulled Loki off of me.

But before Loki could be pulled all the way to the side of the restaurant her executives had commandeered, Ottar stood up with his chair loudly scratching against the ground silencing the room as The Kings pressure filled room.

"Lady Freya will now speak, then Loki will speak, do not interrupt us... Just as we allowed you to join as this event which will strengthen Orario and its Familia's, you can also lose such a privilege. Ottar spoke with his voice.

Freya then stood up from behind her wall of adventure's and I even saw Mama Mia was standing on the edge of the bar closer to her old goddess to show her support I suppose.

"Gods and Goddesses of Orario we stand together on a rather interesting occasion... A mortal born with the abilities to create uncontrollable Monster Rex that can be killed and harvested at will has been found." Freya spoke grandly and I felt every divinity in the room laser focus on Freya's words and not just her tits.

"The monsters are perfect for level ones and twos to fight in groups to earn High Quality Excellia for level ups and just generally gain large amounts of status points and best of all, other than creating the item that spawns the bosses, the spawning of the monsters only requires the creator to make a couple motions to summon them!" Freya explained and I frowned as she downplayed my actions.

"Now the best of all is that whoever does any amount of damage to the bosses will magically get a goodie bag full of materials and ready-made magical weapons and tools." Freya continued before she looked at me for a moment and smiled seeing my cool expression and then she looked to Loki.

"Eh Freya got the point of it all, so not much for me to say Hehe." Loki said carelessly as she sat down beside Finn.

Freya then nodded and her eyes went back to our table, and I felt her eyes jumping between me and Bell as though wondering which one she wanted to bite into first.

"So, Jake, the man of the hour and creator of these bosses do you have anything you want to say?" Freya asked putting me on the spot.

I nodded and stood up ignoring the people whispering about how I was sitting next to Demeter. "Thank you, Lady Freya, for hosting this party and yes I do have something to say. I will be hosting Monster Boss parties on the weekends outside the city of Orario, at one of the abandoned castles that line the countryside." I spoke and I saw both Freya and Loki's smiles disappear as I stole all their momentum and control.

"All are welcome that won't cause issues. My only job will be to spawn the bosses as I have no control over the bosses... So, whatever happens to any adventure's that try their luck isn't my responsibility." I continued hearing nods from most of the adventurers.

A hand clad in white and gold gloves rose up and I looked over and saw Airmid Teasanare looking for my attention and having my attention on her she spoke softly, but her voice easily carried over to me. "The Dian Checht Familia would like to setup a triage at the site to treat adventure's and sell potions for the boss battle would that be alright?" I nodded obviously not going to turn down one of the best healers in this fantasy land.

Then Hephaestus's Tsubaki Collbrande volunteered to look into bringing some spare weapons and smiths to check up on people's weapons and thus with other Familia's chiming in, even Hestia shyly raised a hand saying she could bring a snack cart over there.

We might as well just have someone use their Arcanum to stream the boss battles here in Orario rather than just running over to it every week." I heard another voice speak out and thus came the great argument over how big such an event should become.

But the great atmosphere in the Hostess was ruined as one of the level four Loki adventures were suddenly pushed through the door and only another adventurer standing up and stopping the young man from crashing into several tables.

"Kek Kek, so many Familia's were invited but the Ishtar Familia was skipped over?" From the entranceway of the Hostess of Fertility stomped in literally the greatest divide in beauty I have ever seen.

Ishtar the goddess was definitely beautiful objectively, but her vile core was known to me, and I was able to throw aside the passive charm nonsense she put out far easier than I could push off Freya's influence. But beside Ishtar was her captain Phryne Jamil...

For an anime world with most people being air brushed and looking at least pretty good, Phryne Jamil was none of that... She hit ever damn stair when she fell down the Ugly Staircase in other words.

She literally looked like a toad. She had sideways split putrid yellow eyes and her head was comically large atop her body with her seemingly not even having a neck at all.

"I told Freya not to invite you myself if she wanted to host this party at my restaurant... Now get the hell out of my restaurant as I already need to replace the boards your filthy feet have walked upon." Mia said coldly and everyone shut up as they felt the bloodlust coming off Mia.

"Hmm very well I can see where I am not wanted. But Jake Bariss you are welcome to host your boss parties with the amazons in the entertainment district... I am sure you can find greater offers there then with Loki and Freya's toys." Ishtar said proudly turning around as even with how arrogant she was, she knew her single level five was nothing in the face of Freya or Loki's Familia.

She had no right to force her place here.

With Ishtar's words hanging on me I could feel her Charm worming into my head trying to twist me into chasing after her but with a mental shrug I spoke instead of following Ishtar like some lost child about to be abducted into a van.

"I would sooner commit suicide then seek any pleasure from your broken dolls Ishtar." I said cold as ice and Ishtar froze with Phryne Jamil also looking back to me with a dangerous smile. "Yeah, Phryne Jamil's little taste for little boys to torture isn't much of a secret nor is how you use your divine charm to keep your Familia members as little broken toys a secret. Why do you think no one of any talent will join you?" I said mockingly making Ishtar shatter her smoking pipe she was carrying.

"I would beware the dungeon little man... The monsters are the last thing you need to worry about now." Ishtar blatantly threatened me.

But I only laughed as I had zero fear of her. I had Loki and Freya behind me at the moment and in the worst-case scenario I can literally teleport faster than someone could assassinate.

"The only fate I fear from your broken toys is that toad attempting to sit on me." I said pointing at Phryne and I could hear Tiona burst into cackling laughter. "But go ahead. Have your adventurer's attempt to assassinate me in the dungeon... But can they outrun a monster rex spawned on them?" I said cheerily making the room go silent as they realized if I was pressed in the dungeon. Whelp fuck everyone on that floor.

Ishtar snarled and I felt Phryne Jamil's murderous eyes take me in as she seemingly memorized my appearance before she nodded and left with her goddess and with Ishtar out of the restaurant, I just sat back down in my seat next to Demeter with the table's occupants staring at me.

For a moment the Hostess went awkwardly silent before Loki stood up and spoke boisterously. "Next rounds on me! Let's knock one back to forget the last couple minutes Haha!"

With Loki buying everyone a drink the previous atmosphere returned and finally the Loki and Freya Familia's made their move to retake control of this whole Boss Farming event.

Freya then stood up with everyone nice and more settled in. "The Freya and Loki Familia will be working together to be using Jake Barriss's lower-level bosses for level ups and general high quality Excellia farming so while my Familia takes care of Jake's direct safety, Loki's Finn Deimne will be coordinating where and when his bosses should be summoned as they cannot be summoned directly in Orario's Colosseum due to how mobile they are." Freya explained much to the consternation of the gods who wanted easy access to the bosses.

But even as Freya got into talking about the logistics with Finn, I realized that while I loved the whole material support the jumbo Familia's would bring but I realized that while summoning the bosses although was a bit of a chore, but such a tiny chore only requires me to participate until I get all the materials, I need for my builds up to hard mode.

Once I got all the materials to prepare for Hard mode then I could throw off the other expectations of Orario's adventures regardless of my level.

"In that case seeing as you guys have everything well in hand. Me and my goddess will be returning for the night." I said as I escaped Demeter's now drunken grabby hands and helped Seshat stand up.

"Hmm? Aww you are leaving so early Jake!?" Loki called out as she took another swig of her tankard with Gareth.

"Seems like everything is well in order for now but before all you guys get drunk and rowdy. And Mama Mia cracks some skulls, I am going to escape Haha." I joked as I pointedly looked at Allen and Bete who were sitting next to one another and unsubtly cursing at one another with pressure building between the hotheaded young men.

But before anyone could say anything Bete snapped drunkenly to Allen about how weaklings need to just shut up. "You are level lower than me you stupid mutt!" Allen yelled out infuriated and then I could hear the crunching noise as Ottar squeezed his metal tankard into a wad silencing both of the drunks.

"No fighting." The King spoke and the drunk adventures listened. But while Ottar had everyone's attention I lead Seshat out of the restaurant.

For a moment I thought about walking us back home but then remembering how I pissed off Ishtar I got a better idea and as soon as we walked out of view in the restaurant's side alley, I took out my Magic Mirror while holding onto Seshat and with a blur we arrived back home atop my room's bedding and Seshat collapsed against me groaning.

"Ugh give a goddess a heads up before you teleport!" Seshat complained but I simply patted her on her back consolingly as I didn't really have much of a choice.

If I just told her, it was possible people could have heard me but now surrounded in my impervious stone structure we were literally untouchable as I had replaced even the ground in case someone dug under the house, we were safe.

A couple minutes later with Sir Fluffykins the First acting as our mascot we had finally cleaned up from the day's excitement, but I had noticed Seshat was looking rather pensive.

"What's up Seshat?" I asked as I took my goddess in my arms to give her a belly rub making her grumble at my audacity.

"Impertinent!" She snorted as but still as I sat with her on my lap while we were atop her pile of mattresses and pillows in the sunning room as we just relaxed, I just kept rubbing my cat goddess's tummy and she calmed down as the belly rub clearly showed to be worth more comfort then slapping me for not begging for the opportunity.

Eventually though Seshat told me what was weighing on her mind. "This is all happening so fast... It's unreal and I don't know what to do honestly." She said weakly and I nodded in understanding with my hand moving from her stomach to begin scratching behind her ears.

"Seshat we will just take one day at a time. We made a good showing and although summoning the bosses for them can be a bit of a chore but its only on the weekends. For the rest of the time, I can continue to work here in the shop or go into the dungeon to strengthen my Falna." I said as the biggest thing I cared about my Falna was actually my Magic, Dexterity, and Agility stats as doing as much magic possible and simply not getting hit was my best bet.

Seshat purred into my hands, and I just enjoyed the comfort that came from my warm goddess pushing into my hands for harder scratches.

"Seshat could I get my Falna updated? It's been a few days and with those bosses I messed with I am curious if I got anything." I said softly and I chuckled as Seshat growled at me.

"Nooo just let me rest." She bemoaned but she still got out of my lap and crawled behind me and over to an end table with some paper she had setup here to do my Falna upon.

"Lay down Jake so I can work easier." Seshat ordered me all business and I silently obeyed by lying face down so Seshat could sit upon the back of my thighs so she could lean over me and update my Falna.

"Well... You are still definitely a cheat Jake; it seems the spawning of those bosses did actually have an effect on you." Seshat spoke aloud as her hands drew divine arcane symbols onto my very soul and I felt her motions that engraved a new skill onto me without her even saying anything.

Huh this skill reminds me of, The Community. A super accessory that provides an insane number of stats and abilities and grows even stronger as you continue to kill more Hard Mode bosses for the first time. But this skill actually simply makes me grow faster each time I participate in the death for a boss.

"Wait! Did you get this skill in order to level up faster in order to seduce me, Jake!" Seshat yelled out dramatically as she held her arms against her hand full sized breasts as though 'scared' I was going to eat her up.

For a moment I blanked before I chuckled and raised my hands to my goddess as though I was going to grab her. "Muahaha my goddess has caught my dastardly plan to grow so fast you would fall in love with me now with you having found out all I can do is give you, my body." I said dramatically as I 'lunged' at her.

"Nooo! Don't defile this humble goddess! I haven't even gotten a chance to use the divine baths to prepare!" She joked and I couldn't help but burst into laughter as Seshat used her feline grace to hop off the beds to avoid my grabbing hands.

"Bah fox girls are better!" I said pointing at Seshat who sat smugly across from where I had collapsed onto the overly dense bedding but before I could even fully roll over to get comfortable, I felt Seshat leap onto my body and grab my collar and start shaking me.

"What the hell do you mean fox girls are better! I am so much better than those overly formal goddesses Inari and Amaterasu!" Seshat demanded still shaking me while riding on my lap.
