After Orion had his thought. Of how weird freya was acting he decided to focus on his drink. When he put the mug to his mouth the taste hit him. It was sweet like honey which made him think they used honey. Trying to decern more of the taste. He sipped more then to his right a man spoke clearly drunk. Or look like he was getting there in level of drunkenness. "What big guy can't hold your alcohol? Why you taking sips like a wimp chug it down!" The man was looking at him like he was annoyed. "I am trying to figure out what it's made of. Can't do that if I chug the whole thing down can I?" Orion being a alcoholic in his previous life loving to drink. Wanted to see if the way they made alcohol here is the same or different. Not to mention their food right now he missed home meals. 'I could go for some takoyaki with beer then some steak medium rare, side of peas mix with mayo, paprika, garlic salt, black pepper. Oh just thinking about it making me hungry.'
Orion had to stop himself from drooling like an idiot at the thought of good food. 'Man I miss home food. Better stop think about it since I will most likely cry. Speaking of food there is mine, huh syrs carrying it over. Maybe my armor hides my soul. That would explain why she keeps coming back. She can't see and so she wants to know. To bad for me I ain't her odr even though I kinda wish I was.
I mean who wouldn't want a chick who waited thousands of years for you. Was she a virgin or.' Being cut off from his thoughts as Syr puts down his food. One by one the he saw plate after plate being dropped infront of him. Mama Mia who just finished cooking it all said with a smile. "Hi, am mama Mia I am the one who cooked your food. Now tell me how are you going to pay?" Finishing her sentence with a glare that would scare most people. Didn't scare Orion though, one he is higher level. Two even if he was lower level than her he would not have cared much about this woman. Orion putting down the mug took out his entire bag full of the valas he earned. He then said loud enough for every one to hear. "Names Orion, that is to pay for my food and drinks. The rest keep it, use it for a round of free drinks on me for the rest of these guys!" A round of cheers from merry and happy tavern people came. Before he went back to his meal he noticed no other waitresses. Was getting close to him or trying to serve him. It was as if he was syrs sole customer.
Orion was having fun eating his food it tasted like old America food. Like food you would find in old America during the outlaw era. It taste good but could use some good spices to make it taste better. 'Ok calm down my hungry belly foods coming.' His body needed sustenance his sayain blood boils with need of fuel. After consuming his meals fit for 12 adventures he saw that every person is looking at him. I mean most of them saw people consume a lot but 15 meals in a go it down right a sight to see. It took 5 mins for it all to disappear and that only because he chewed.
After he finished eating he began gulping down drink after drink. Trying to see how much is needed to get him drunk. Seeing it took till mama Mia said last drink to get him to stop. Everyone was shock he isn't drunk yet. Then came in a large group of adventurers. Leading them was 'Loki? Huh so that's how she would look. Dam reveria pretty, aww ais is adorable. Strange she looks older then she is. Isn't she supposed to be 16. I need to keep remembering that to keep it under control.' As he was looking over the group he needed to keep his dark thoughts and wants under control. A little tiny dark voice whispered in his ear.
'You know it wouldn't take much to rape them. I mean we are level ten not to mention we have the protection of Brother. so what's stopping us?' As the dark voice tried to get him to do something stupid, another voice came. 'We were raise by our mom would really want her to know this is what we did. She would be disappointed and disgusted with us. Don't do it control your self.'
The dark voice not wanting to lose brought up their past. 'We killed and tortured that woman. What's so different about what I want us to do?' Orion tired of his dark thoughts said to himself. 'She cheated on our older brother. Not just that she did it with his boss. She deserved what we did to her. Or have you forgotten what we saw. She wasn't worthy the time and effort brother put into that relationship. Even Rick knew that.' The other voice like a dimming light whispered 'I still wish we saw how attached he was to that filth. So that way he… didn't do that.' The dark voice spoke 'what killed himself?! He was an idiot trusting a woman with his heart and that is what happpened! I hope we aren't stupid enough to do the same.' As the two voices quieted down they disappeared to back of his mind. Finally in silence he was about to leave when he notice something. Syrs gaze was still on him. 'Guess she is still wondering what my soul looks like.' Orion thought before leaving. Just as he left he heard the tavern getting louder with the ruckes of the Loki familia.
While the familia notice him none really cared. Thinking he was just big drama queen with how his armor looked. If they haven't heard of him they thought he was either new or low level. Both really didn't interested them. So the celebration at the hostess continued. Orion heading home to rest.
We switched to freya's point of view.
'Why couldn't see his soul? I've always been able to see mortal souls. Why couldn't I see yours?' See he was leaving and no other interesting thing happening she left back to her real body. 'Why couldn't see his soul?!' Pacing back and fourth freya was puzzled. She couldn't see his soul it was as if he doesn't have one. While every other soul was grey and mundane. His wasn't there. Like it was taken but that was impossible. A body can't exist with out a soul. Then she thought of what was really going on. "It's hidden." As realization dawned on her she whispered the answer. "Ottar send request to see Orion I want to meet him." Ottar surprised by the request out of no where. Decided to get to it right away.
Back to orions pov.
Waking up Orion made a big yawn that shook the church.
"Yaaaaaaaa! Huh?!" Orion went wide eyed as he saw dust come down from the roof. 'Holy hell that was from a yawn?!' I got to make sure I don't yell. When he looked at the bed he saw Hestia looking at him like she just saw an something weird. "Uhh? Is there something on my face?" Orion not sure what she is looking at asked. "No just didn't expect you to yawn so loud." Hestia replied out of her stupor. She then hopped off the bed to get ready for the day. Which made Orion wonder how she kept her teeth clean in world like this. Then he saw something he didn't remember from the show. 'A toothbrush!? Weird looking toothbrush. It's closer to a painting brush then any toothbrush I know. Orion then activated a teeth cleaner on his helmet that eliminates all bacteria in his mouth. Originally ment to get poison off from his mouth modified by Rick to just keep his teeth clean and fresh. With this he doesn't need to floss since it cleans in between the teeth.
Hestia then ask "Orion how do you keep your body clean I haven't seen you shower. I am kinda worried you will get stinky. I don't want to have to kick you out because your stinky." Hestia finishes the sentence with a joking tone "My suit cleans me but I do like to wash myself instead of using my suit." He wasn't lying. Rick expected him spending days in the dungeon having fun so installed a self cleaning button. While his body is near invincible he was not free of all infections or poisons. Granted it would be a miracle with his viltrumite dna but still. You got to be stupid if you don't prepare for anything.
"WOW that's cool! What if you need to use the restroom? Oh wait you can just make that part of your armor disappear can't you." Hestia said the last part with an embarrassed look. After they got ready Orion told Hestia what he is going to do.
Kneeling and bowing his head he said like the drama queen he is. "My goddess I want to better your living situation. So I will endeavor to make more money in the dungeon. I have gathered enough to last you months. In that time I will head deeper into the dungeon and come back with as much as I can. I hope it will not displeased you me leaving like this." Orion kept his head down not raising it till given permission.
Hestia uncomfortable with the formality quickly said "I only want you to promise me that you will come back alive." Orion replied "On my oath to you goddess Hestia. I will never die till given your permission. I will never bend or yeld to anyone or anything. I will fight till your enemies are dead. I Orion Maximus Pax will be your knight and slaughter all." It was then Hestia's system notified her of something. Something Orion didn't know when he made that oath pledge.
"System has heard the oath and pledged of Orion Maximus Pax. He is going to receive rewards for completing hidden quests."
Hestia shocked since the system was silent till now. Nothing new popped regarding Orion. There was two new designs appeared in her system. It was her falna logo but this time it had knights surrounding a flame and kneeling to it. Orion who couldn't see the notification due to his bowed got up to leave. "I will be going now my goddess." Orion then turned to leave the screen disappeared before he saw it. Hestia was still stunned by the notification that showed something. It showed that if he completed hidden requirements he will get certain rewards. It stated she would get some rewards too but it didn't say what. Everything was hidden.
Hestia only got out of her stupor long after he left. Frustrated with not stopping him she went to head out and get food and other supplies for their home. Going to Orions view just before he was about to step into the dungeon. He was stopped by ottar "Come with me my goddess wants to see you." Orion wasn't surprised he kinda expected this. 'So she finally sent this boy after me. Honestly he is kinda adorable. I wonder if he head pats being part beast and all. Well time to see what crazy chick wants.' Finishing his thinking he replied to ottar. "Lead the way then ottar." Orion said.
