in the tavern, things turned Icy Cold as Freya was stepping on toes intentionally, and Freya got what she wanted.

Freya:" it would be a shame if, oh, a few men got their claws into her walking home on-"

before Freya could even say another word, Ishtar grabbed Freya's throat with such intensity, it sent a shockwave that broke glass within a 30-meter radius, while Freya knew and used Ki as well, this didn't help her since she wasn't a war goddess, or one who had the authority as one anyway, and Ishtar was, so Ishtar's grip was more like a level 5's, and Fyrea, having had her power nerfed by Odin as punishment, was more making to a level 3 at best but most likely more on the level of a level 2, so Freya still nearly dies in an instant as her throat was basically obliterated, blood flowing through her mouth as Ishtar was pissed beyond all measure, the patrons worried a Familia war will break out, though, the second a certain girl came back, Ishtar claimed down and let Freya go.

Ishtar:"... threaten my Familia again... and next time, I will kill you, come Haruhime, we're going to give you more combat training"

Haruhime:" yes lady Ishtar"

Freya looked around and saw some Athena Familia members and even Enia who raised her hadn't o let Freya know she was a witness to the events of this as well, she had been played, she planned for the assault to be a reason to attack has Ishtar intervened with her plan and started a Familia war once Vaneea was gone, but with the Athena Familia to vouch for Ishtar, Freya would lose no matter what with other Familia coming to stop and detain if not eliminate the Freya Familia, especially since the Athena Familia are immune to her and Ishtar's charm, so they are a completely neutral party, and even if she did try to charm all of Oranio, with Hestia, she would not be able to succeed.

shortly after Hestia came from the Divine realm to the mortal world, Ouranos asked Hestia to give some of her blood to make a later to make sure the goddesses of beauties charm would be neutralized while in Ornaio, so Hestia's sacred flame in a alter that was made years ago in wait of Hestia to make any form of charm disperse as soon as it was cast, which rendered all the goddesses of beauties charm useless while in Oranio and unable even to use it while they were still in Oranio, so while the world itself can still be charmed Oranio cannot, and even if the world was charmed, Hestia could snap her fingers and force the release on everyone, another thing to consider is that due to Hesita's power, the goddesses of beauty would also get a backlash, and if they did charm someone while Hesita freed them, it would damage their eyes, too much and they would go blind, it was one reason why the likes of Aphrodite would never want to fight Hestia (at least one of the many).

Freya's Thoughts:" (looking at the smug look on Ishtar's face as she realized Ishtar's plans for this meeting)... she knew what I was planning and made a counter by having credible witnesses to defend her... fuck, well, time for plan B"

Freya:" (bearly understandable due to almost completely crushed throat) I'll... be... off"

as Freya was leaving while drinking a healing potion she had stored, she headed to some members she had in the shadow and told them to grow with plan B as they left, looking into the sky as she was furious about being outplayed, she underestimated Ishtar's new calm demeanor, normally, Ishtar is so busy trying to surpass her Ishtar overlooks obvious details, now Freya had to adjust her handling of this new Ishtar, which after all this time, would be difficult for her to say the least.

Freya:" the god's never change... whoever said that needs a reality check and a spear up their ass"

as Freya walked off, her Familia got to work knocking out the guards of the Ganesha Familia and then set loose certain monsters each with taming orbs planted on them to control them since this will trace back to their Familia so as little casualties are needed here, especially a certain one that would be grafted a StrengtheningOrb on it to grant it far more power, and then target a certain person, Bell Cranel, as the monsters were released, they got things ready for phase 2.

in the guild after Enia returned to be a witness to Freya and Ishtar, she looked at Misha, who was overwhelmed with paperwork, it was as if there was a paperwork fort, and feeling pity she walked over to Misha with a coffee how Misha likes it, a caramel macchiato with whip cream and caramel shaves from the guild coffee maker machine, due to the strenuous work environment, this coffee machine with all the toppings and items to put in coffee for employees to drink was a godsend for the staff for a little relief in there tireless and thankless work

Enia:" Misha, you're still working on all of this, I figured you would be done, but did this double in size"

Misha:" last minute forms came in this morning"

Enia:" well, you did slack for a day before on this, you only have yourself to blame for that"

Misha:" before the papers could have waited, but now I'm working on the papers related to the legal investigation of the more sketchy Familia, like Soma and Apollo Familia to make sure their actions and members behave at least a little, and neither Familia are nice, let alone the others like Freya Familia"

Enia:" oh yeah, speaking of which, what about the Newby Bandit, the one stealing from the level 1 adventures"

Misha:" that's nothing, there are more complaints about the Soma Familia breaking rules and acting as smugglers for monsters for the Ikelos Familia, another Sketchy Familia"

Enia:"... I wonder if I can convince goddess Loki to look into it, while we can't have any Familia with legitimate credibility look into it, if a Familia that is questionable in their own right does, nobody would pay mind, and we can use what they find anyway, it's worked before"

Misha:" I don't care how we handle that right now, I have to fill out the documents to legitimize the investigations and warrants for a search, or else I lose my job AND be tried for conspiracy since I stalled for so long, help me, I can't do all this on my own, I littery started last week throughout my entire shifts with almost no break and I bearly dented it"

Enia:" I guess you did get a lot... okay fine, I'll take half, but only the ones where my Familia aren't involved with, last thing I need is anyone saying we made claims based on Familia Bias"

Misha:" if that happens it'll trace back to me and I'll be burned as well, so please help with what you're allowed to do"

as Enia was going to take the papers, however, an alarm sounded as the warning of monsters attacking Oranio and Enia rushed out with her twin elven shortsword, 2 slightly curved handless shortswords with elven engraves in elfish with Enia's Translating to "for Alf", and she ran off as Misha said she forgot her magic staff but due to Enia being faster than light as a level 4, Misha was just screaming to the air at that point as Enia was already in the locker to immediately change, she got her guild uniform off down to her H cup-sized Elven bra and Elven underwear and got into her combat clothes, a skintight bodysuit with a black shirt with a corset dress on top and black shorts that could be mistaken for bloomers, a frilled white dress skirt that went past her knees over with a green cloak that she uses to cover half her face and her white long boots that go up to the middle of her thighs, and also her armor, which only consisted of gauntlets and graves as she prefers to wear no armor and headed off before Misha could even utter a single word and than gave up and went back to her paperwork.

At the festival, Bell was accompanying Hestia on a day out as a somewhat personal bodyguard even wearing the armor and Gambeston he bought at the store with his weapons besides his spear as well, but Hestia said it was fine to relax a bit as there were fight's that suddenly broke out between Familia members and people moved away, this happened to them over, and over again, while it wasn't an uncommon sight to see, it was odd that it seemingly happened to Bell and Heista a lot, then Bell stopped Hestia and looked around, Bell knew at that moment something was very wrong.

Bell:" goddess, what are the odds we'd be redirected because of a brawl in a festival in such rapid succession like this"

Hestia:"... we're being lead somewhere"

then the crowd started running as a roar was heard, some people were hurt and Bell saw some monsters come loose and started attacking, and before a Kobolt could kill a child holding their parents who were hurt badly with some of their bones visible coughing up blood, an arrow flew through the air and sunk into its head, piercing and severing the hindbrain and the upper part of the spinal cord as the monster died in one attack instantly.

child:" what-"

Bell:" EVERYONE, MOVE HERE, ANYONE WHO IS UNINJURED, DRAG SOMEONE WHO IS TO ME AND THEN GET BEHIND ME"

with this, many would drag someone who was injured to Bell as he treated many people's injuries as fast and as carefully as possible, not even using anesthetics on anyone since he didn't have time, he got bandages, healing potions, cast-making materials, and even some surgical tools like surgical knives and tweezers out and fixed people up, fluently and quickly, he got a person treated and moved on to the next, each person who had internal injuries had a quick incision as a healing potion was poured into the wound to heal them internally as he treated external injuries with bandages, casting, and a medical sewing kit, even having a piece of mouth shaped cloth for someone to bite down on to endure the pain that much more as Bell treated their injuries.

Even when a new monster came since there were many that escaped, Bell would take it out with some arrows as soon as the monster arrived, first aiming at the eyes and then the spinal cord, even when the monsters tire to hide behind debris, Bell was able to trickshot arrows to hit them still, pulling off shots that take years for someone to master, luckily, for Monsterphelia, only upper floor monsters were present, and while there was a dragon, that was the most guarded of all, so even if there was a break in, unless you were one of the more powerful Familia's you couldn't get to it, at least Bell hoped as he treated the last of the injured, and as he finished h fought the remaining monsters with his sword and killed them, grabbing onto something he saw and then Enia came and saw the people Bell was protecting, she directed them to a direction that was safe and Bell noticed something.

the adventures who were just down the street, surely they noticed this too so why haven't they come to help, it was technically a law that all adventures must protect the people in danger and since these were upper-floor monsters and had no real reason to flee, surely they heard the battle and monsters as well, he then though of something else, a setup, somebody wanted this to happen and he was their target, which angered Bell a lot, then, he heard a battle cry of a monster he was familiar with, in Bell's hunter day's in his village, despite being a medic, he was in plenty of fights with many monsters head on without a Dunamis while aiding his team and took on many monsters of various kinds, thing's like Kobolds and Goblins, as well as the occasional Minotaur and Hellhound, his team even faced a dragon a few times and won, scuffed up pretty bad but nothing Bell couldn't treat, and Bell knew the cry of this monster well as it was one that was always tricky to deal with at times, a Silverback.

Enia:" a single silverback, leave this to me, I'll be able to deal with this one shortly"

then another roar boomed, and this one was worse, making even Enia tense up, it was an infant dragon flying in

authors notes

yes, I'm adding Hestia's purification fame beforehand this early to make Freya charming all of Oranio let alone anyone impossible, as well as every other goddess of beauty since there are 3 in Ornaio as of now, not counting the ones who technically possess something similar, hint hint, forcing Freya to be more creative yet, as well as forcing Freya's hand in some cases, such as her threat to Ishtar, it also shows how Ouranos thinks ahead for everything, seeing Hesita's power specifically as useful against the likes of Freya, making him far smarter than in the original as he knows what Freya is capable of and won't leave anything to chance

Enia and Mishas talk about the investigation is important later on for many reasons as well as other relevant storytelling later in the story, and not just on Soma

be ready for the next chapter, or chapters, I may have scoffed it before, but now, we get to the serious fights, so with these kinds of chapters, I plan to have them take either a whole or nearly a whole chapter in detail, or many chapters depending on how intense I want the fight to be

in my version, an infant dragon is able to fly cause it has wings, in terms of its abilities, it's only really called an infant dragon because it's the smallest of the dragons in the dungeon, and if you want a dragon to think of, I'll have a picture to use as what one is in my world, and yes, as overpowered as you think if not more
