Danmachi- Merchant of Orario

Arriving home late, Domnus walked down to the basement of the church making sure to be quiet knowing that Bell and Hestia were asleep.

Sneaking down the stairs Domnus noticed that Hestia had snuck her way on top of Bell while he was sleeping.

Not wanting Bell to have the distress of waking up with someone on top of him, Domnus carefully picked Hestia up by her arms and threw her into her bed.

Hestia tussled a bit and let out a groan, but she stayed asleep.

After a long night Domnus was ready to go to bed.

He knew that in the morning he would have to talk to Freya and hopefully work something out to make everybody happy, so Domnus could just sell things without any interruptions.

—————————————————————————

A new day was upon them, Domnus was already up, and the time had already passed, and it was time to meet Freya.

Arriving at the Barron's Dragon Domnus noticed that it was actually a fancy restaurant. Yet, it seemed that no one was there at this time.

Tightening the shoulder straps on his backpack Domnus entered through the doors, immediately noticing Freya sitting at a two-person table drinking tea with two menus on the table.

Next to Freya stood a large bear like man with a large sword behind his back.

Taking a look around Domnus didn't notice any other people, it was just him, her, and the bear like man.

"So, I hope you're paying," Domnus said pulling out a chair and putting his backpack down, "Because I have other financial burdens to take care, not like you don't already know," Domnus noted sitting down across from Freya.

"Why of course," Freya replied, "My familia is very well of and is fine for paying for such an expense,"

"Now I have things to sell and I'm guessing you have things to do," Domnus pointed out, "So mind telling me why you called me here?" Domnus then asked.

"So direct, are we?" Freya then responded, "Let's wait to talk about important things until after we order,"

As soon as Freya finished speaking a waiter came up to the table of two.

"What will our Goddess Freya be having today?" the waiter asked looking at Freya.

"I will have some boar with a side of peacock," Freya said before handing the waiter her menu.

"I didn't know that peacocks live around here," Domnus commented.

"That's because they don't," Freya said with a smile.

"And I'll have the, you're paying right?" Domnus said before asking Freya.

"As I have said I will pay," Freya responded.

"I will have one of everything on the menu," Domnus said handing the waiter the menu.

"Perhaps you could pay for your own food," Freya commented seeing how much Domnus was ordering.

"Scratch that, just a water will be just fine," Domnus told the waiter.

After the two had ordered the waiter began to leave to tell the kitchen of Freyas order.

"You're not taking the big guys order?" Domnus asked looking at the man next to Freya.

"I require nothing but the presence of my Goddess," The man responded on a dime.

"Impressive," Domnus mumbled, "Now back to why I'm here,"

"I have herd of you selling a great many unusual items, items that don't make any sense" Freya said, "Potions that teleport you to your bed, shields that protect ageist a great many things, cards that can make people disappear, swords that can slice metal like butter, and other such things," Freya said.

"So, you've been doing your research on me," Domnus commented noticing that she was talking about a sword he sold in a previous town.

"Oh, I have, and there's always something that comes up weird when asking about you, do you know what that is?" Freya asked Domnus.

"Not a clue," Domnus responded.

"No matter what your never from a place," Freya reviled, "It doesn't matter how far I reach my influence the name 'Domnus' only comes up as a merchant passing through, trying to get to Orario, now why did you come here?" Freya then asked.

"Heard it was a place where adventures come to stay, so it seemed like a good place to set up shop," Domnus replied shrugging.

"Well then," Freya said knowing that Domnus may not be lying, but he wasn't telling the whole truth, "That doesn't explain items so mystical I would think them made by the gods," she then asked.

"Can't say," Domnus responded, "If I told everyone where I got my items, I would be out of business," Domnus told.

"Well then, let's make a deal," Freya said, "I will pay off the Goibmiu familia's work, give Hestia a boost when it comes to her familia, and allow you rights to sell wherever you want, and all you have to do is join my familia and tell me what you know," Freya said laying the offer down.

"Counteroffer," Domnus responded, "I tell you how I got a few things of your choice, and you pay off their work," Domnus then said.

"If you tell me a few things I will only pay off some of the familia's work," Freya responded.

"How about two things for half," Domnus replied.

"Fine my me," Freya said.

In fact, Freya knew that Domnus would never join her familia, or that he would tell her where he got his items.

All she wanted was a clue of where Domnus got his items so she could get her famillia to find it.

And if what she found was that Domnus stole some of his items, she could get him locked up and his backpack confiscated.

Thinking of the best items to ask for Freya landed on the potion which he gave to Ais, and the dice that Loki seemed so obsessed with.

"I have heard of a potion that you gave to a member of the Loki familia, I also heard it worked very well, I wish to know how you make that," Freya said.

"Ah, the Super Healing Potion, well first it takes four Greater Healing potion, which I won't tell you how to make," Domnus said while getting up, "Then you mix it with four other components," Domnus said getting close to Freyas ear.

"What are you doing?" Freya asked confused.

"Making sure no one else can hear me," Domnus said whispering, "Now the components are, a Nebula Fragment, a Solar Fragment, a Stardust Fragment, and a Vortex Fragment," Domnus whispered, "Each can be found in their respective pillars when the armies of the Moon Lord arrive to destroy a world with a challenger to the Moon Lord," Domnus explains.

After finishing Freya sat quiet. Trying to absorb all the information that Domnus had just described. She tried to believe that it was false yet as a God she could tell when a mortal was lying, and Domnus wasn't lying.

"So, anything else you want to know about?" Domnus asked to silence, "No? Well then, I got things to sell," Domnus said getting up.

"Your food and drinks," the waiter said putting Freya's order and Domnus's water on the table.

"Why thank you," Domnus said picking up the glass and downing it in one gulp, "Remember to pay off the Goibmiu familia's work!" Domnus said grabbing his backpack before exiting.

Freya took in what Domnus said yet still sat in silence. The bear like man next to Freya began to worry, yet his Goddess had told him ahead of time to leave Domnus alone and to not do anything without her express permission.

So, he continued standing there, not moving an inch for any reason.
