6 Six

"What did you say!? Are you going to abandon my familia!?"

"Finn, while a child that born from 2 different familia is a problem but it is still can be discussed you know."

"I agree with Gareth. No matter how I think of it you're too impulsive. Without you leading us at this moment, this Familia will break apart. So think more about it"

"it not like that. And I will only quit after our situation stabilized."

"then why, Finn?"

"yes! why!? did you hate me? I will stop drinking- no! I reduce my drinking so don't quit, please!"

"...It looks like you really can't stop your drinking habit, Loki-sama. Also, I did not hate you. I will tell you what Lulaena tells me. So please listen"

Loki instantly panics when Finn tells her that he will quit her familia. Gareth and Riveria also have grim expression, they can't make sense from Finn's choice.

Finn feeling guilty but he already decides and will not change. He can't lose her again.

Finn glancing at Lulaena, she is not in a perfect state to explaining because she also feeling guilty.

Finn starts to tell them Familia Myth's plan like how Lulaena tells him. while Elasha's face is weirder the more his story progressed.

"I am sorry. I know I am selfish but I don't want to lose her again."

"...I think I can accept your reason, Finn. Even I don't know how it is lost someone but it must be hurt a lot. Yes. I can't bear seeing you continue to wallow in despair. after all, you're my friend. So, good Luck Finn."

"Thanks, Gareth."

"Gareth!"

"Maaa, it looks like just two of us left now, Loki-sama. Right, Riveria?"

"eh. Riveria? Ah! Not you too, please!"

"...Loki-sama, I also request to resign from your familia."

"no-no-no! Please don't leave me alone with this old man!"

"stop it, Loki-sama. You already know it is pointless to stop them. Stopping them only prolong their pain."

"bu-but they will die!"

"It is better than living in pain. You also can go, Riveria. Leave this familia to me."

"then, how about Lefiya-chan and Ais-tan!?. you can't just leave them right Riveria."

"I am sorry Loki-sama, Gareth. I leave those two in your care and if my plan work then there will someone stopping Ais. also, Lefiya is ready to replace me. just don't tell them about the fight."

"the-then why can't we all just go together. The chance of victory is greater right!?"

"..."

"...now I think about it. For the first time. Loki is right."

Gareth breaking the silence from Loki's unexpected brilliant plan. If they all join in the final fight then the chance to win is bigger. And if they can convince other familia to join, then there will nothing to worry about.

Usually, they can figure it themself but they did not in a state to think straight. Finn and Riveria are guilty because abandoning their familia and did not want to lose someone dear to them again. Gareth that took to many surprises and thinking about how he will lead the familia alone.

Lulaena also feeling guilty because of that this is happening because of her. Only Elasha that still calm but more puzzled over time and trying to find a chance to interrupt them.

"Interruption. my apologies to intrude the talk but I think there bit misunderstanding here."

"It is okay. but, can you explain what is the misunderstanding?"

"Affirmative. While Lulaena already tells Finn our original plan, there is some change because of some circumstances. There will be at least 2 years for us to train and prepare after my master gets released. also, my master will be seeking help from other familia. because there already no evilus that will stab us in the back again, it is safe to tell them the truth."

"didn't you say if Estelar gets released then The black dragon will also get released? What circumstance can stop that thing for more than 2 years?"

"Affirmative. Zeus-sama sacrifices his mortal body to summon a bit of his power and seal The Black Dragon. he says he can hold it at least for 2 years"

"..."

"that perverted old man did that?"

"Affirmative."

"then, why didn't you tell me before?"

".…. Denied. It's your fault to not ask."

"what with that pause? also, don't look away! You know it's your fault that this chaos happens here, right?!"

"Denied. You are the one who stops my explanation to taunt your rival."

"That and this is different! I only stop you to tell where our captain is, that is not important because even if they know it's will not make a difference. But what you tell us just now is important and will change all of our future actions. Yet, you not even tell me. So it is your fault!"

"Denied. My masters are the most important thing for me."

"No matter how we see it, it is important to tell all members about the plan when doing something! This is why you need to improve your social ability! You did not even say 'hey' to your sister when we come here! Now I think about it. you did not tell the other when you at Elysian!"

"Denied. My duty is only to serve my master not a messenger and my sister is too loud to keep a secret."

The others only looking at the two continue bickerings and blame each other for the misunderstanding that causes the previous chaotic situation. they sigh in relief that their Familia did not break apart.

Lulaena blames Elasha. because of her, she has shameful memory with Finn and nearly forced him to retire.

Elasha also blames Lulaena. because she tells Finn without waiting for the meeting that causes the misunderstanding. Well, she also knows its majority her fault but she did not want to look clumsy in front of her master and because of that she continues to defend herself at least until Lulaena releases her ultimate skill to win from Elasha, 'Complaint To Her Master'.

"Argh! Ri-chan help me! Please tell Elasha that is her fault!"

"haaah. Elasha, is that true that Zeus-sama gives us more time?"

"Affirmative. After one month of discussion, he decides it is the only way we can win with that thing. so he tells me to send message to Hermes-sama and start gathering our members to get stronger as much as possible before he goes to the sacred mountain."

"you know. I and Finn will not request to resign if you tell us beforehand, and this chaotic situation will not happen."

"Blunder. I am sorry if my blunder upset Riveria-sama. I will accept any punishment."

"it's okay. You don't have to do anything. haaah. our debt to Zeus-sama continues to increase. because of him, now, we can more prepared to fight it."

Unknow to the mass that Elasha 'Perfect Maid' is can do anything but socialize. She always does anything with very efficient so her skill to interact with people almost none because if she talks, there no chit-chat or anything. She always direct and silent after that, only answer what necessary. What worst, she will not start and try to prolong the conversation. so, except a talkative person like Lulaena or a dignified person like Riveria then there will always an awkward situation with her because of lack of conversation.

Lulaena who win from the quarrel with Elasha make victory pose and hug Finn which gets stink eyes from Elasha

"so Finn and Riveria will not resign right!? We can fight together. Zeus-eh. Wait. didn't Riveria say that Hera also backs to tenkai?"

"Affirmative"

"then what will your familia do?"

"Report. We already disbanded"

"eh!? arent you guys will fight that thing?"

"Affirmative."

"Then how? Are you going to fight it without updating falna 2 years from now?"

"Denied. we will join any familia that will participate."

"huh? What do you mean?"

"Request. Loki-sama I will request to join your familia."

"then, me too! I want to join your familia too! So I can together with Finn!"

"eh!?"

"hahaha what great news. Right, Finn! Now you can marry without worrying anything."

"He right Finn. But please do that after resolving our situation."

"you two!"

The situation becomes lighter because everyone smiling. Gareth and Riveria continue to tease Finn that gets flustered because of that also because Lulaena joins them by asking how big their family he wants to.

Loki? She laughed loudly like a child that gets a present she wants. After all 2 Level 6 join her familia and it is possible more if she can play her card right. After all who does not want high leveled adventurer join their familia? Then her familia will truly become number one in Orario-no world. Alas,

"Denied."

"huh, why!? if you all join my familia, then there will no one can stop us."

"Affirmative. But impossible. If we all join your familia then the efficiency will be lower than if we spread."

"What did you mean?"

"Loki-sama, our familia already has too many members. Didn't you always complain when we will make an expedition? If they all join us then you will not be able to update all of our falna. So it is better for them to spread so we can get stronger in 2 years as much as possible."

"but.. number one familia.."

"Loki-sama, Riveria is right. Also if they all join us then the other familia may band together to oppose us. With our limited time, we can't have an internal dispute."

"they right Loki-sama. Just give up. There no way you can handle all of them. It's enough to get 2 of their level 6 executive to join us."

"Yup! But you're a bit wrong, Gareth. Loki-sama, after we join your familia then you already number one familia! After all, we already level 7."

"eh! How can!?"

"it looks like surviving from the black dragon is also counted as a great achievement so all of us Level up."

Lulaena word shocked them, but looking at Elasha that nodded at them then it must be right.

Loki's pout becomes a bright smile, after all, now she is number one. Even if maybe they weaker than Ottar but she has two levels 7, one more than that bitch, Freya has. But her excitement becomes overload after Lulaena next word.

"Also there a high possibility 1 more person join us that will make us, without doubt, the strongest familia. Our captain, Estellar Valdi. After all, his wife and daughter are here."

"Yosh! Today, We will hold a party!"

"Ehem, Loki-sama. Remember our current situation. It is not the right time to hold a party now."

"Ah! You're right. Ummm. I have a plan! we announce that Elasha and Lulaena join my familia and we will fight with the black dragon. With this, we declare that we are the number one familia and willing to protect them. 2 bird with one stone right!"

"Denied. Our existence still must be kept secret until the ceremony. Our members still not yet gathered. if our survival becomes known then other gods will not sit idle and our ceremony can be disturbed."

"you're right Elasha. We can't risk any possibility of disturbing the ceremony. His return is needed to lead all of us in one banner. Also, we cant suddenly announce our participation. Even the other familia will excited, they will find it suspicious and start to investigate our familia to find the reason, it is same as announce their existence."

"But how! Can't we solve our situation!?"

"not yet, now we must remain low key and endure until the ceremony."

"no Finn. We will not have to endure that long. Remember my bet with Ais? We can simply announce if Bell win then we will fight The Black Dragon. And with his growth that will not impossible."

"Hestia's brat huh. Well, whatever. our future is very bright so let's just endure for now so that bitch didn't know anything until it's too late. hahaha"

They discussing any other way but the result did not change. They all sigh in defeat. After all, they don't have another choice except that without risking being found out.

Actually what they fear not the other familia that pressure them knowing it but, Freya.

If their survival becomes known then other familia will more focus on them than continue to pressuring Loki and Freya Familia.

After all, if it is the other familia, then its possible to simply evade their question or lying to them but, except for some special people, there no way to reject Freya charm. They know if Freya knows Familia Myth's survival, then she will use any means to take them, especially Estellar, without caring about the future, even if the world gets destroyed. after all, she epitomizes the greed of god that did not care about mortal. fortunately, her member still not finish their expedition yet, and Freya herself busy fending oppression from denizen with a lack of members.

After that, they discuss the plan and alliance.

Lulaena tells them that majority of the weaker members already in Orario from when they banished and they join either Hermes or Ganesha. That shocked the god and her trio executive.

Well, it's normal that they did not know. Hermes familia's member is too mysterious and Ganesha familia's member is using an elephant mask. Also, it is easy to fabricate their identity with guild supporting them.

They also know that Astarea also joins at their village after go out of Orario and the some of members in Elysian join her familia including elf knight and mage from all elven forest.

What they did not think is Dionysus disguise as Enyo and enter evilus as a spy to drag them out and destroy their last remnant while died in the process. They can only respect his sacrifice to make the plan succeed. Because without him, there no way anyone knows that evilus still exist.

Now, without evilus existence. There will be no risk of a crazy god release seal of the black dragon so they can announce the truth and ask for help from the other familia.

They also know why they did not care about Freya after the ceremony. Riveria explaining that one of Estellar skill can stop any mental disturbance happen to his allies which make them relieve. Loki even laughs, she predicts that Freya will be frustrated because she can't charm anyone, even maybe some of her familia will quit. Afterall many of her familia join because get charmed or forced to join before being charmed.

They talk until midnight before they retreat to their own room. Of course, Elasha already gets a room and like what she requests to near her master, Her room is next to Riveria's room. For Lulaena? She decides to not use her room or Tione's former room and join Finn in his room, much to his dismay. After all room for an executive is not dorm like the ordinary member. they are in a different part of the castle and have more space so it's more than enough to accommodate 2 pallums.

Riveria postpones her lecture for Tione. Knowing Tione's state, she will not be able to endure her lecture that makes her lecture did not effective. Well for Tione herself, she sleeping with Tiona in Tiona's room after picking all of her belonging.

Riveria also wants to introduce Elasha to Lefiya but when they go to Ais's room, they find Lefiya and Ais already sleeping peacefully so she went back to her room and ends the day.
