Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Vol. 6 by Fujino Omori Page B

something to give them an edge. It’s impossible to keep secrets from this many of us all at once.” Lord Miach adds his own explanation. I understand and nod back.
    Lady Hephaistos and Lady Hestia are standing next to our conversation, their eyes scanning the room.
    “This Celebration has a different feel to it. Many gods who don’t normally participate in these events are here tonight.”
    “Yeah, Apollo has some unique ideas…”
    I take a look around the room for myself.
    I see a lot of smiling faces and pause a moment to take in the atmosphere, but there’s something else on my mind.
    “Excuse me…What’s Lord Apollo like?”
    “Oh? Are you interested, Bell?”
    Lord Hermes turns to face me. “Yes,” I say as I make eye contact.
    His orange eyes smile back at me as he takes a step closer.
    “He’s an interesting one. I’ve known him since we were in Tenkai, and even now I haven’t gotten bored of him. That guy has provided us with millennia of entertainment.”
    Huh?
I feel my eyes pop open. I wasn’t expecting that answer…
    “Anyway, he’s rather frisky. Even though he’s not an adventurer, we still gave him the title ‘Phallus the Passionate’ because it fit him so well.”
    Ph-Phallus?
    Why would they do that…? I have no clue.
    “He’s quite the persistent lover boy—wouldn’t you say, Hestia?”
    “How should I know?!”
    My goddess has her back to us, sampling the food—more like stuffing her face—when she snaps at Lord Hermes’s playful verbal jab. She immediately dives back into the food, shoveling it into her mouth a little more vigorously.
    Lady Hestia said that she doesn’t like Lord Apollo…Did something happen?
    “Also, he is extremely…tenacious.”
    “Huh?”
    I flip my head back around to face Lord Hermes.
    I’m just about to ask what he meant by that, when suddenly—
    Waaaahh!
A wave of sound comes from all directions simultaneously around me. It drowns out my question.
    “Would you look at that…The big cheese has arrived.” Lord Hermes sounds surprised once he finds the reason for the commotion.
    I follow his eyes—and instantly find the source of everyone’s excitement.
    All of the attention in the ballroom is focused on one giant animal person and the silver-haired goddess standing beside him.
    “Who’s that…?”
    “That, Bell, is Lady Freya. I’m sure you’ve come across the name
Freya Familia
before?”
    I lightly nod my head
yes
. It’s a lot to take in at once.
    Freya Familia
—they’re just as powerful as
Loki Familia
. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that those two groups are the heads of the Labyrinth City in terms of strength and influence. Even newbie adventurers have at least heard about both
Familias
’ bravery and deeds.
    So that silver-haired goddess is the leader of that
Familia
…?
    The Celebration’s mood instantly picks up upon Lady Freya’s arrival. She’s just that beautiful.
    Silver eyes and a well-defined body line, her large breasts and thin waist are hidden behind a dress that looks like it was woven in heaven itself. She takes one step forward, and all eyes in the room lock onto her. Another step and the gazes follow. She’s quite a ways from me, but I’m already hot under the collar.
    I’ve never seen anyone so alluring…
    “—Huh?!”
    Without warning, Lady Hestia’s twin black ponytails shiver out of the corner of my eye. But this other goddess is just so dazzling…
    Lady Hestia’s face emerges from the table, takes one look at Lady Freya, and then glances at me with wide eyes.
    As if understanding everything in a flash, she jumps toward my shoulder.
    “Don’t you dare look at Freya, Bell!”
    “Bwuh?!”
    “Any child who sees a Goddess of Beauty will get brainwashed by her charm!”
    Coming in directly from my side, she almost knocks me off my feet.
    I somehow manage to regain my balance with the goddess draped around my neck, forcing me to look away.
    A Goddess of Beauty—it’s common
