Danmachi: The Blind Swordsman

Chapter- 60

—----------------

"Tsk" Hestia clicked her tongue as she turned her face since she knew she couldn't do anything about it

"Oh child you are truly outstanding~," Freya said after seeing Hestia now shut, Freya turned her face towards Yuno and forgot as she grabbed his chin and continued "Now I can understand why Hestia values you so much"

'It is definitely much brighter than before' Freya said in her mind as soon she took a good look at yuno again with her purple glowing eyes

"Hey hey not touching!!" Hestia said this in a loud tone as soon as she saw Freya touching yuno and the next moment she quickly moved between them as she broke two apart

"Ara~ I feel hurt when you treat me like this~," she said as she tried to wipe a fake tear out of her eye, acting like she was really hurt by Hestia's actions

Unfortunately, her acting didn't work on Hestia nor Yuno, mainly because Hestia is already used to Freya's behaviour meanwhile yuno didn't feel any sad emotion in her words

*Knock* *Knock*

A sudden knock on the door attracted all of Freya and Hestia's attention, while yuno felt a little nervous because he sensed the same killing intent when he entered the floor behind the door

'Tsk, I told them to wait for longer' Freya inwardly clicked her tongue, as she thought this and her all previous sad mood was nowhere to be seen now

"Oh~ it seems my lovely children are here~" Freya said in her firtoreuos tone suppressing the unpleasantness in her heart 

As she goes to the door and opens it the 4 people stare at Freya who just opened the door with bright eyes

Freya let these people come inside as she sat back on her throne and grabbed the wine glass from the table while those 4 people stood in front of Freya in order

"See~ these are my children which I took in my familia not long ago~," Freya said as she turned her head towards Hestia she continued "I can ensure you darling Hestia that any one of them can give your child a wonderful fight~"

"you can pick whoever your precious child desires~" she finished speaking as she put her leg on the other leg and looked at yuno with a deep curiosity in her purple eyes

Hestia lets yuno choose since she doesn't know who is the weakest among these people, so she lets yuno decide

She knows that yuno doesn't even help him to 'see' things but it also helps him to evaluate his opponent's strength which yuno told her before

"Can I choose that one in the corner?" yuno asked as she pointed at the dark corner behind those 4 people 

Even though yuno felt heavy killing intent from all 4 of these but is nothing compared to killing intent coming from that corner is on another level

Hearing yuno words, Hestia couldn't help but be stunned because in the direction where yuno was pointing there was nothing but an empty corner

To normal eyes, it looks like an empty corner but unfortunately, Yuno doesn't have eyes to begin with, so it doesn't matter how much that person tried to hide

Even the one yuno picks is stronger than all four of them but he knows that he can beat him as well and he wants a challenge that will help him grow more 

Which yuno felt that these four couldn't give up since yuno was very sure even if they 4 came together to fight him even then also he would have an overwhelming victory without any doubt

Meanwhile, Freya had a very big smile on her face as soon as she saw yuno's choice to speak "Come out"

*thud!*

Immediately after that, a figure dropped on the floor from the corner revealing himself

He is demi-human and has a short Structure having brown hair wearing an entirely black outfit

"Meet him his name is Noga, he became level 2 a year ago~," Freya said as she signalled other people to leave while she took a sip of the wine from the glass

Hearing this, those 4 people couldn't help but be very disappointed as they cast a hateful graze on yuno like they wanna eat him alive

still, they leave but they don't leave that hateful gaze towards yuno until they finally leave that room

*Sigh*

yuno mentally released a sigh of relief after they left since he was feeling what he had done wrong to suddenly get that much hate from them

But yuno~ you know it may be much more difficult than those children~" Freya said this as she put her hand again on her chin while she stared at him again and continued to speak "So let me ask you again, are you sure?~"

To his response, yuno nodded his head with confidence while Hestia couldn't process what was happening after she heard Freya about the opponent yuno chose 

*Chuckle*

Freya let a small laugh as she saw yuno's confident look while she opened her mouth and spoke: "You are indeed very interesting~"

"Yuno come here!!" Hestia said this out loud as she pulled yuno far away from Freya 

"Why did you choose a strong adventurer instead of a weak one!?!" Hestia asked this in a low voice hastily as she pulled him down to her level height 

"But I am sure I can win" yuno replied to her with an innocent face as he turned his face towards Hestia

Hestia looked speechless at his causal reply like he stating something like obvious facts 

"Are you trying to show off to her!?!" Hestia again asked with anger in her tone as he glared at him

Hestia asked this as though of a worse possibility where somehow Freya's charm worked on yuno and that's the reason he chose that adventurer just to impress Freya

'Where does she get that idea?' yuno inwardly asked this himself since the actual reason for him to choose that adventurer just because he wanted to have a good fight so that his template 

"No" yuno denied Hestia claimed which made Hestia stunned since she sensed no lie in yuno denial 

She then couldn't help but be puzzled because she couldn't think of another possible possibility for yuno to do that

"Hestia-sama" yuno called out for Hestia as he saw her lost in thoughts as soon as Hestia woke up from her thoughts and looked at him 

"Believe in me" yuno said with a confident tone somehow making Hestia reassured as she released a tired sigh

"Alright…" Hestia finally gave in as she chose to believe in yuno, which in result forming a small smile on yuno face Realising his trick worked

After having everything settled, they both returned to the throne where Freya was sitting while she looked down through the glass window like she was looking down on the world

"If everything is good then let's decide on the date of the duel," Freya said as she turned her head towards them with a little annoyance on her face

'Did I make her unhappy somehow?' yuno inwardly asked this himself as he sensed Freya's unhappy mood 

... 

After an hour…. 

Back at church… 

"SHE TRICKED ME!!!!!" Hestia shouted angrily as she jumped on the bed while yuno stared at her with helplessness written all over his face

After they returned to the church or even when they were back on the way to back church she was continuously complaining about how Freya played her

and Hestia's whining only increased with every passing moment making yuno tired because he felt Hestia was overreacting too much over such a small matter

That small matter is the 'date of the duel' and it seems even though Hestia wanted time over a month, unfornutaly Freya took advantage of her foolishness and made Hestia change the time limit from month to a week 

*Sigh*

Yuno release a tired sigh as he comes towards Hestia in order to calm her down but his efforts seem to be worthless

Honestly, Yuno is glad that the time is short since he doesn't have to wait so much, especially when he knows his growth is very abnormal compared to other adventurers

He wanted to fight him soon so that as a result he would gain more template progress which would help him to unlock more abilities not to mention he even has not unlocked the first form of his zanpakuto yet

He felt if he fought later on when he became more powerful considering Ais and riveria training then he might not be able to gain more template progress from the duel which would be very wasteful

But no matter how yuno tried to calm down Hestia, she still continued to stress out and continue to whine

with nothing working, Yuno suddenly got an idea he soon ran into the kitchen fast leaving Hestia alone on the bed
