Above Midgard, the land supported by the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil, a pale blue portal slowly opened. After a few seconds, a mature woman wearing a white lab coat and alluring long legs encased in stockings staggered out, her face pale and her hand clutching her lower abdomen as she stood to the side.

Following her was a man dressed in a bright red tuxedo but wearing a strange smiling mask.

"Welcome to Yggdrasil, Ms. Sumire Muroto. The great god Odin awaits you within this magnificent tree. For certain reasons, I am forbidden to approach within a radius of 500 meters of Yggdrasil, so you will have to continue your journey alone."

"But please rest assured, there are Valkyries on duty around the Divine Tree. After you show them the Chaldea emblem in your hand, they will take you to see the great god Odin."

"Then please excuse me for taking my leave. After all, I still have many tasks to complete. Take care, beautiful lady."

The masked man bowed slightly politely, then turned and stepped into the portal behind him without hesitation, leaving only Sumire Muroto, wearing a white coat, standing somewhat dazed on the land of Midgard.

Silently, she pulled a metal badge with the white background and blue 'Chaldea' emblem from the pocket of her white coat, and the expression on the tea-haired beauty's face gradually became solemn.

The great god Odin, huh? Let me have a good look at him.

This is over 7000 words, which is considered a third update. It was originally close to 8000 words, but I chickened out—it's a death month! See you in chapter 132.5.

Chapter 133 Freelancers (4000+ words)

With a majestic face, a strong and tall body, and sharp and piercing eyes, the giant dog, resembling a young elephant, crouched beneath the World Tree Yggdrasil, faithfully fulfilling its duty.

But we all know that huskies are not good at guarding a house, especially when they have a large group of female owners.

"Cerberus! Look what we've brought you!"

The familiar voice made the giant dog, which had been looking serious, instinctively prick up its ears, its bright eyes involuntarily looking in the direction from which the voice came, and drool was already dripping from the corner of its mouth.

Several little girls, dressed in white blazers with black trim, pleated skirts, white stockings, and cute soft hats, excitedly ran towards the big dog who was still squatting there, trying to look cool and dignified. As they ran, they raised their bags high and called out the dog's name loudly.

Its dark, sensitive nose twitched; the great gatekeeper of the underworld had already caught the aroma of meat emanating from the bag. But no, it was the great Lord Cerberus, and could not be tempted by a mere speck of food.

The majestic dog thought this to itself, but it couldn't stop drooling from its mouth.

"This is Kobe beef we bought with points. It's so expensive; such a small piece cost us five points."

"Yes, yes! But if Cerberus lets me rub my belly, I'll buy you another one tomorrow!"

"I want to ride a big horse!"

"I want to touch your chin!"

Several adorable little girls surrounded Cerberus, who was sitting on the spot, looking at the big dog with a puzzled expression, as he was not playing with them as usual.

Cerberus, are you sick?

"Do you need me to call the doctor for you?"

"His Majesty the Emperor said that when you're sick, you shouldn't eat too much meat and should eat a light diet. It's such a pity that the dog can't eat meat. Let's take this beef to the cafeteria later so everyone can have a taste."

"Yes, yes. I'm going to the cafeteria to get some porridge for Cerberus so it can recover faster."

"Let's go together, and we can hand the beef over to the cafeteria while we're at it."

Hearing the innocent words beside him, the giant dog's azure eyes widened. Cerberus stared in disbelief at the little girls preparing to leave him, his mind caught in a internal struggle.

On one hand, there's its dignity and honor as a guardian dog of the underworld; on the other, there's the delicious beef within easy reach. This difficult choice must be a real dilemma for the dog.

No, that's not right! As the great Cerberus, should I hesitate at a time like this? I am the noble hound of the underworld, the divine beast guarding the gates between hell and the mortal realm. My choice was predetermined from the very beginning!

The little girl, who was carrying a bag of Kobe beef, paused, looking down at herself in confusion. There, a pair of large, furry paws tightly embraced her delicate legs, which were covered by white stockings, while a huge dog's head lay prostrate on the ground with a fawning expression, its pink tongue lolling out.

Seeing that the little girl had noticed him, the husky, which had degenerated from a hound of the underworld into a silly dog, decisively rubbed its big head against the little girl's cheek, making the furry dog ​​head tickle the little guy and make him giggle.

"Woof woof~ Woof!"

"What? Dog, you're saying you're not sick? But you looked so listless before!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Oh, so you were working hard before. What a good dog."

Seeing that the little guys weren't going to leave, the silly dog ​​suddenly perked up. It immediately reverted to its previous upright posture, even giving a perfunctory salute to show it had been faithfully performing its duties. However, the drooping tongue and obvious drool at the corner of its mouth revealed the dog's true intentions.

"Since Cerberus isn't sick, does that mean I can touch his belly now?"

"Can I ride a horse now?"

"Can I continue touching your chin now?"

"Yogada!"

The little girls happily surrounded the big dog, and Cerberus obediently rolled over, revealing his soft, white belly. Pairs of little hands excitedly reached out, rubbing his belly, touching his fleshy balls, scratching his chin, and finally, they all sat on the dog's back and ran around nearby, their joyful laughter carrying far and wide.

In this day and age, even getting a bite of meat requires selling one's own body; the great Lord Cerberus must have it so tough. Thinking this, the large husky closed its eyes, and a glistening trickle of water rolled down from the corner of its eye—no, from the corner of its mouth.

Kobe beef is so delicious!

"Hmm, is it really worthy of being called a legendary god? Even a dog is bigger than a normal Gastrea. It's amazing."

The beautiful scientist, Sumire Muroto, who had been silently watching from a distance for half a day, stroked her chin with some admiration. She had seen many dogs, but this was the first time she had ever seen such a 'maverick' dog.

However, now is not the best time to study this strange creature. Now that she has confirmed the existence of rationality and basic goodwill by observing the Chaldea members and animals, Sumire Muroto is more confident about the conversation to come.

Looking up at the towering World Tree, the tea-haired beauty in the white coat decisively strode forward. Cerberus, who had been playing with several little girls nearby, merely glanced at the woman before returning to his playful antics.

It had already spotted Sumire Muroto the moment she appeared in Midgard; she carried the scent of an 'insignia' and was an invited guest, not someone to be overly concerned with. Playful as it may, Lord Cerberus had always performed his gatekeeping duties admirably.

After about ten minutes, she arrived at the base of a protruding tree root in Yggdrasil. Looking at the enormous structure before her, Sumire Muroto felt a pang of unease. The masked man had told her to climb the tree to find Odin, but this tree was so tall—how was she supposed to get up there? By climbing?

Just as Sumire Muroto was staring at the tree roots that were even taller than the most magnificent building in Tokyo, 'Seigaku', with a conflicted expression, several spatial portals that shone with blue and white light suddenly appeared in front of her. From the portals emerged several beautiful girls dressed in gorgeous armor and holding various weapons.

'This entrance is just like those other kids. Are they also members of Chaldea?'

The girl at the head of the group, a red-eyed girl with knee-length silver hair, looked Muroto Sumire up and down. She nodded silently, as if confirming something with someone, then gave a friendly and gentle smile and said in an ethereal and clear voice:

"Ms. Sumire Muroto, is that right?"

"Yes, I am Sumire Muroto."

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Sumire Muroto. I am Valkyrie, who is in charge of security at Yggdrasil today. You may call me Tomoyo.”

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ms. Tomoyo."

The two exchanged a brief nod, a simple greeting. After receiving the Chaldea badge from Sumire Muroto and confirming its authenticity, Tomoyo, who had also completed her Valkyrie transformation, stepped aside, clearing the portal behind her.

"Please follow me, Lady Sumire Muroto. I have informed Lord Odin of your arrival. Because I need to continue patrolling Yggdrasil, I will take you to see another person, who will then lead you to Lord Odin."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Tomoyo."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Silently following behind several Valkyries, the group crossed the portal and arrived at a place that resembled a town square. The brown-haired beauty looked up and saw girls of all ages and styles leisurely strolling around the square.

"Welcome to Asgard, the kingdom atop the canopy of Yggdrasil."

"A kingdom located above the treetops?!"

Ignoring the spatial dizziness caused by crossing the portal, the brown-haired female scientist in a white lab coat stared in shock at everything before her, her astonishment leaving her almost speechless.

This was a 'city' completely different from any 'city' she knew. If she had to describe it in human language, it would be... exquisite? magnificent? elegant? or perhaps majestic and sacred?

Sumire Muroto didn't know that it was a kind of 'beauty' that steel and concrete could not achieve, a kind of 'craft' that was difficult for ordinary people to do, and it could even be said to be a kind of 'art'.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the women beside her, Tomoyo and the Valkyries around her all wore smiles tinged with pride. This was their city, the place Rorschach had given them, the home of all the Valkyries.

Asgard, the Sky City

All the buildings in this city grew from the branches of the World Tree, Yggdrasil, blending seamlessly with their surroundings as if naturally formed. Even the most discerning architects and artists could not find a single flaw or imperfection in these structures.

"Isn't it beautiful? I was just as amazed as you were when I first saw it."

Taking a few steps closer to Sumire Muroto, whose eyes were wide open, Tomoyo's voice carried a hint of pride and arrogance as she gazed at the magnificent city before her, her eyes brimming with brilliance.

"Truly...unforgettable."

Reaching out, Tomoyo patted the tea-haired beauty's shoulder, then raised her arm, which was covered in exquisite armor, and pointed in a direction.

"Now that Lady Sumire Muroto has accepted Chaldea's invitation, there will naturally be plenty of time to appreciate this beautiful scenery in the future. Let's take care of business first. Lord Odin should already know of your arrival, and we shouldn't keep him waiting."

"Oh, alright."

Coming to her senses, Sumire Muroto followed behind several Valkyries who were leading the way, traversing the city along the smooth road beneath her feet. Soon, she arrived at a house that seemed somewhat out of place with its surroundings.

A house with a distinctly human style.

Looking at the familiar-looking house in front of her, Sumire Muroto finally relaxed a little. After all, humans are creatures that crave familiarity with their environment, and she always felt somewhat out of place in the face of those magnificent buildings that seemed like a dream.

'Knock knock knock'

"Who?"

As Tomoyo knocked on the door, a low, hoarse female voice came from inside, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

“Natalia, it’s me, Tomoyo.”

"Oh, Tomoyo, what can I do for you?"

"Emmm, Natalia, you must have been drinking again, right? I sent you a message to remind you before."

"Huh? Really? Hahaha, sorry, sorry! The wine here is just too delicious, I couldn't control myself. Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you right away."

The woman inside chuckled, avoiding Tomoyo's earlier question. After about two minutes of near-chaotic commotion, the front door finally opened. A mature woman, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, stepped out.

Neat short silver hair, sharp, clear eyes, and a neutral yet heroic appearance paired with a cynical smile—this is how the newly appeared woman appears in Sumire Muroto's eyes.

This is a person who is unwilling to be alone and is unrestrained.

Almost instinctively, this thought popped into the tea-haired beauty's mind. And the woman inside the room, after leaving, immediately turned her gaze to Sumire Muroto.

With a flippant whistle, the woman in the black trench coat stood with her arms crossed, her ample breasts, encased in a white cropped tank top, appeared even more shapely with this gesture.

"Who is this beautiful lady? Rorschach's new lover? I thought he was a lolicon, but I didn't expect him to have such good taste. The decadent style, I like it."

Natalia, with her neat short hair, spoke without any restraint, causing Tomoyo, who was standing next to her, to blush slightly.

This new companion was great in every way: handsome and dashing, easy-going and unpretentious, with rich combat experience, especially in firearms. He was hired by Rorschach as an instructor for the academy's firearms course and got along very well with the children.

But because they got along so well, her unruly personality often led her to utter some outrageous remarks, causing the children around her to be exposed to strange knowledge every few days.

“Sister Natalia, this Ms. Muroto Sumire is not Lord Odin… cough, she is Lord Odin’s newly hired teacher, and she is your colleague.”

"Oh, a new teacher? What a coincidence."

Tomoyo briefly explained the situation before leaving to return to her post, leaving behind two mature beauties with distinct styles, silently observing each other.

After a short while, as if she had finally obtained the information she wanted, the woman with short, neat silver hair extended her hand and introduced herself to Sumire Muroto opposite her:

"Hello, my name is Natalia Kaminsky, you called me Natalia. I used to be a bounty hunter, and now I work as a teacher here, so we're practically colleagues. Tomoyo told me you're planning to see Rorschach?"

Thinking about how to deliver a fatal blow to Kiritsugu, he thought of two people.

A pale blue portal opened, accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness, as if one had missed a step while descending stairs. Two tall and alluring figures appeared in a passageway. One of them, a striking woman with silver, tousled hair, patted the wall beside her and smiled as she spoke:

"Thanks, Xiao Youxiang, you've helped me a lot. I'll bring you a cake another day."

As the silver-haired woman finished speaking, a vibrant sunflower sprouted from the wall to the other woman's incredulous gaze, its branches and leaves stretching out and gently brushing against the silver-haired woman's cheek.

"Okay, okay, I know it was wrong of me to bring you beer last time, but that guy Rorschach already deducted a lot of my points, so now I'm afraid to spend money recklessly. Next time I'll definitely bring you a real cake, next time for sure, next time for sure!"

The silver-haired woman touched the petals of the sunflower with her back hand, waved goodbye to the other person, turned around and led the other woman, who was still in a state of shock, slowly walking into the depths of the passage.

"Hehe, don't look so surprised, Miss Sumire. That little cutie's name is 'Kazami Yuka,' she's that guy Rorschach's daughter. Oh, you don't know who Rorschach is, do you? He's the 'Great God Odin' you mentioned."

"daughter?!"

Sumire Muroto's face was filled with disbelief. Odin's daughter, a flower? This was absolutely insane.

"Yes, don't be fooled by that little guy's harmless appearance. In fact, she is extremely powerful. Even the 'earth' we are on now, the magical city outside, and even the entire World Tree Yggdrasil are all part of her body. To exaggerate a bit, you and I are both inside her body now."

Natalia's words made Sumire Muroto's face stiffen, and she even subconsciously withdrew her hand that was about to touch the wall.
