Meanwhile, the rest of their familia decided to conduct an investigation in Rivira due to emerging signs of trouble linked to the Evilus faction, albeit taking a few detours along the way.

Aether side

Having made a few stops along the way, Astraea and Aether eventually arrived at their destination. There, they encountered Freya and Loki engaged in conversation.

Loki said "Oh ya better be, Astrea. Since when did ya become worthy of being able to be fashionably late to our gathering," It was then loki notice Aether " Oho don't tell me you went on a date with him," She tease Astraea to which she blushed, then she looked at Aether "Good to see you Aether-Chan it's been a while"

Aether also greeted "It's also great too see you, Lady Loki thanks for letting me train with Ais"

It's was then Freya participate "How rude of you Loki, Having such a cute boy all by yourself" she put a hand on Aether cheek "I'm Freya, will you give me sweet dreams too" she says making Aether blush a bit but before he reply loki intervene "Oi Whore don't you dare go after him, he's my aizu favourite" she said as she removed her hand from Aether face

"Freya, You shouldn't play like that" Astraea said with a smile face though anyone can see the aura she radiates

"I was just joking,...So Astrea. Were you late because you were taking care of children?" Freya said as she decided to change the topic which was for the best

Astraea switched back to her cheerful tone and added, "Yes, we spent some time at the orphanage, and later I assisted in running a shop at the market. Aether even prepared soup for childrens. You must taste it; Aether is exceptionally skilled in the kitchen!" She spoke enthusiastically, her hands coming together in a gesture of praise.

Upon hearing this, Loki's frustration was evident as she exclaimed, "Justice, huh? It's merely a form of self-indulgence. Your self-awareness as a goddess is sorely lacking." She then turned her gaze towards Aether and continued, "Though Aizu and Riveria have also praised your culinary skills. Aether-chan you should come and cook for us sometime." She said with a mischievous smile getting a nod from Aether

"What I'm doing is nothing more than you getting drunk having your favorite drink. It's like a hobby to me." She then look at Aether with a smile and said "Besides, my children's are fighting for the city. It'd be a shame if I were to sit back and not do anything."
