Chapter-28

William went straight to the dungeon's exit after his interaction with the Loki familia.

"250,000 valis have a nice night"

'I should focus more on picking up monster crystals'

William thought as he took the valis from the guild's counter.

"Goodnight Eina~san~"

William stopped and looked at a pink headed girl waving her hand towards one of her co-workers.

I stayed on my spot as I looked at the smiling face of Ms advisor.

'She got over it earlier than I thought'

Of course as one of the many advisor's of the guild she definitely had seen her fair share of Adventurer's die in the dungeon.

William give one last look at Ms advisor as his figure blends in with the night.

-(The abandoned church)

*Creek*

'I should get some renovations done in here'

William makes a remark to himself as he removes the makeshift door covering the entrance to the underground floor.

*Tap*Tap*Tap*

The familiar wall comes in William's vision as he extends his hand and touch it.

'its cold'

The cold yet sturdy feeling comes when his hand touches the wall.

William retracts his hand as he turn around the corner .

The same old room with the sofa, bed and other things that he bought enters his vision.

*Thump*

William doesn't even remove his coat as he directly slumps down on the sofa.

'it's cozy'

A feeling of relief rushes over William's body as he lets go of all of his worries

And falls into a deep sleep.

It is the only place where he truly relax.

*Poke*Poke*

"..."

*Poke*Poke*

"....."

"Hey hey.."

*Poke*Poke*

"..."

"Won't you try my divine wine?..."

*Poke*Poke*

"...."

"I promise that it's the most delicious thing that you could taste"

*Poke*Poke*

"...."

William kept looking at the daily reports completely ignoring God Soma who was poking his cheek with his finger.

But not everyone was able to ignore God Soma like William.

Emile had a vacant look in her eyes as she looked at the scene in front of her.(Female adventurer- Emilie)

"Excuse me"

*Poke*Poke*

Emile tried to interject but all she got as a reply was God Soma looking at her for a moment and then once again continuing his poking.

She didn't knew if it was because of the fact that the image of her God has been completely ruined in her mind or maybe because her God was able to come in so close proximity to her boss, but the vacant look in her eyes started becoming deeper.

In a corner of the room there was another person who kept shaking his head as he saw that everyone was completely ignoring his existence.

Just as everyone in the soma familia was having a normal day.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*

An intense knocking came from behind William's office door.

Everyone stopped what they were doing as Emile went ahead and opened the door.

A young Adventurer was standing there as he kept huffing.

Everyone was looking at the adventurer with different expressions wondering what was so important that he came running all the way here.

"L-Loki"

The first word from the Adventurer managed to get all of their attention.

"I-Its the L-Loki familia t-they are standing at the front gate.."

"...."

There was a brief moment of silence when they heard his words.

Just as Everyone(except William) in the room was tensing up

*Poke*Poke*

Even the young Adventurer who came in had a weird look on his face when he saw William getting poked by God Soma.

*Pok---

William caught God Soma's poking hand as he got up from his chair.

*Window open*

*Swish*

*Window close*

William once again sat down on his chair after throwing God Soma right out of the window.

"..."

Everyone's mouth were opened wide as they saw what just transpired.

"Emile stop standing there and go out to welcome our guests"

"Ah Y-Yes right away"

Emile quickly exits the room with the adventurer.

"Make sure that no one will disturb me when I'm talking to them"

"Yes"

Eldest brother of the adventurer trio also quickly leaves the room after getting William's instructions.

William looked at the now empty room.

He moved his gaze from the closed door and looked at the cup sitting on his table.

'Divine wine...'

William picks up the cup filled with divine wine and carefully place it inside the nearby closet.

William sits down on his chair and wait for his guests after placing the divine wine in the closet.

He didn't have to wait long.

*Knock*Knock*

"Come in"

William said in his monotonous tone when he heard the knocking coming from the door.

*Clank*

William turns his head away from the daily reports and sees two figures standing behind Emile.

Riveria and Ais Wallenstein.

William gives a polite gesture at Ais and Riveria for them to come and take a seat.

They follow his lead and sit down on the chairs directly facing his work table.

"To whom do I owe the pleasure?"

"We are here to deliver the valis"

Riveria directly goes to the point and moves her hand to signal outside.

*Tap*Tap*

Two burly looking Adventurer's comes in while holding Giant crates in their hands.

Riveria then claps her hands.

*Creak*

Perhaps it was the signal that the two adventurers were waiting for as they quickly open up the crate.

"72 million valis"(note- I honestly don't know how much the crystal from monster rex is worth, I looked up the internet and even watched the anime again but still no result so if you know its value then do tell me)

William ignores Emile who is making an idiotic face while staring at the huge amount of valis as he turns to face Riveria.

"Did you take your cut?"

"We have already deduced it from the total amount"

William gives a nod after hearing Riveria's reply.

He waits for a while and then opens his mouth after seeing that they had no intention of leaving

"Is there anything else?"

William asks in a calm voice.

"Yes"

Riveria replies as she turns to face me.

"On the behalf of our God"

Her face turns serious as she continues her next words.

"I Riveria Ljos Alf invite you to join our Loki familia"

Silence comes over the room as Riveria finishes her words and extends her right hand towards William.

[Fun fact- Ais is actually 1000+ years old, I'm serious she's a old hag no more like an ancient old hag. You can Google search 'Danmachi timeline' and you'll be able to see the first entry is her birthdate]
