It didnt take even five minutes for after introducing me to Take's Familia for all the gods to break out the booze and other than Freya who wasn't all that interested in the little get together to get wasted.
Although meeting my fellow Captain Ouka was nice as a fellow heavy weapon user and trading tips for using them along with the pros and cons. We also told each other our little tales of knocking stuff over with them or just getting them caught on walls as we were fighting in the dungeon.
"Haha and then when Mikoto tried to use a Orc for a springboard for a jump, she missed because I cut it's legs off making her miss the jump and land on a tree and the branch going between the legs Haha!"
The after mentioned woman's vengeance was swift as she kicked between her captains' legs and with a loud thud noise. The opposite reaction was seen as Mikoto cursed and hopped on her good leg as Ouka roared with laughter.
" Lord Takemikazuchi's heavenly wisdom is correct as usual." He nodded solemnly and then shifted his waist as he muttered. "Even still. Being kicked while wearing a metal cup still hurts the boys..."
Well, I guess knowing how to avoid the violent wrath of a scorned woman kind of fits in the domains of Takemikazuchi.
Either way we were all basically having a goodtime partying and eating with even Syr being here, but I noticed Ryu and Freya weren't up here, so I decided to see what they were up to in the basement.
As I came down the stairs, I saw the duo quietly sitting down next to one another reading separate books and using a lamp that used monster stones for energy for light in the dark basement.
I wasn't sure whether to bother them, but it was already too late as Freya already put down her book and I am sure Ryuu heard me open the door to begin with as she likewise put down her book. "Well Jake is there something you wanted?" Freya asked me with an indulgent smile.
"Yeah, I was just wondering if you girls wanted any food or something maybe you would care to join us upstairs?"
Freya's smile widened as she held her stomach. "Jake I just want to play a little prank on the gods as me and Hestia walk in together at the Denatus."
Me and Ryuu's eyebrows rose as the elf questioned Freya. "And what prank would that be Lady Freya?" I could see how Ryuu was already nervous at what Freya may call a little prank would likely end in half Orario being burned down.
Freya giggled in response which didnt soothe our worries at all but the reply she gave, made me palm my face as I could just imagine the chaos. "Well, the thing is that I can already feel and see the soul forming within me from a mirror, and I just want the news to spread at the largest congregations of gods there is as that would make sure no wild rumors would spread."
Hmm she wants to basically get all the deity's together and then answer any questions at once rather than just leaving them grasping at straws... Probably for the best as just dropping an info dump on them would be better than making them try to find whatever leverage they could to force our secrets for themselves not that it would work at this point.
"So, the pregnancy is going fine?" I asked paying attention to her mention the whole soul forming bit.
Freya lost a bit of her smile as she lightly frowned. "Well, that's just the thing. I think my pregnancy is going to last a couple years if not more rather than the close to nine month average."

'It's highly likely that whatever soul is forming within her is simply going to be far more powerful than usual and that could be an easy explanation for this, but God knows if that's the case as that's the first demi-god growing within her.' I thought and then spoke my thoughts to get her opinion.
Ryuu nodded responding. "That makes sense as elves have tales of whole generations watching the birth of a spirit as it slowly forms through nature."
We were both mostly reassured by Ryuu's words even though I didnt want to wait what Elves considered generations for my kid to pop out of Freya though...
But honestly it took me less than three weeks to level up and within a year I may very well be level five, and with the fusion abilities I have, I may find a way to travel to another world so I will have plenty of ways to extend my lifespan.
"Well either way so long is as it's going fine there's no rush." I assured her making her smile at me.
Ryuu broke our eye contact as she coughed. "Jake, could I link into the flame so I can teleport with you all to Rivira when we get it setup?"
Damn cockblocking elf...
I smiled wryly as Freya leaned back with a knowing smile. "Yeah, that's fine but you need to understand the whole century of torment should you die bit..." I took my own little revenge by freaking her out by saying the teleportation is a little finicky and after linking the flame should you ever die it will steal your soul and burn it for a century before returning to you to life at some point in the future.
Technically nothing I said was a lie so as she looked to Freya for guidance in disbelief that we would mess with such a thing, she saw her just helplessly nod.
"Haha!" After laughing I explained what I actually meant, but I did emphasize the whole burning alive for a century was real but honestly being able to live forever to an extent was worth it if your mind could withstand the century of cleansing as with some investigation it didnt destroy or ruin someone's Falna so they could easily get it reactivated a century later and regain there strength.
For the next hour or so Freya and Ryuu told each other some stories and I told some of the less fanciful bits of my past life but not the whole reincarnation shtick as I knew that would open a whole can of worms that would be impossible to explain but I wish I could tell them about the glories of modern life even though we had a lot of the more modern amenities but I still missed my cell phone and all the social media it provided.
After Freya finished telling us the story about how she recruited her first few adventures we all started to drift off, so Ryuu took off her boots and Freya and I got into bed and to go to sleep while the party continued upstairs, but I was done socializing.
'I just hope they don't make too much of a mess upstairs.' I thought and sadly my hopes were shattered as I stared up at the ceiling as it cracked with a mighty crashing noise rang from the staircase and then there was silence all for a second and then I could distinctly hear Lili yelling drunkenly. "Down with the tall people regime!" Then smaller crash happened, and I heard Bell crying. "Lili died! Oh never mind. Shes just asleep...."
Yup.... this is the group I put my life in there hands of.
I couldn't help but look at the taciturn elf in appreciation as the one bastion of sanity in the Familia and she someone knew I was looking at her as she turned her head to look at me and Freya and spoke. "This is only half as boisterous as it used to be back when I was with Astrea." She chuckled and then snorted. "Well at least this group won't be stealing my clothes to prank each other.
