86 Betrayal?

Chapter 86

'So that's how it is…' Artemis started thinking.

Sirius was in Orario for about a month.

He has completed the remarkable feat of leveling up in just one month.

Artemis thought that Sirius must have worked very hard to level up quickly. Without spending many hours in the dungeon, he wouldn't have achieved such an outstanding achievement.

No, Artemis thought that it was precise because Sirius was too diligent in exploring the dungeon that he was able to upgrade so quickly.

So, considering this, Sirius must have no extra time to understand the characteristics of Orario.

There is even a high possibility that he has not been to most areas in the city.

So, Artemis felt that Sirius had no reason to come to a filthy place like the entertainment district on his own.

Also, Sirius told her he was here for the first time. So, what does this indicate?

Artemis felt that Sirius was instigated. Someone wanted to corrupt him!

The truth of the matter was quickly reasoned out in Artemis's mind, and the blue-haired looked at Raul with a hostile expression.

Lante, who was behind Artemis, frowned and felt something was off. She didn't think Sirius's situation was so simple.

But her little head can't think of what's wrong! So, Lante kept silent.

"Hiss!!!"

Raul is not a dull person himself. After hearing Sirius's reply, he quickly figured out his lousy situation and took a deep breath in anger.

'Sirius! How dare you put all the blame on me! I thought we were best buddies before. Now, I regret being friends with you….' Raul didn't know how to feel about his friend's betrayal.

Although he would do the same if he were in Sirius's place, that didn't mean he would feel good about it.

'Also, this fellow Sirius managed to flicker a goddess in just a few words! And let the other party believe in his words!' Raul was most mad about this matter.

Not to mention the goddess, even he can't find any problem with Sirius's logic.

Sirius's words ultimately left himself out of the matter and put all the blame on Raul, and Raul couldn't even find any chance to refute it.

How can there be such a good friend!?

'Hello, Sirius! I thought you were an innocent country boy, but I didn't expect your heart would be so bad!' Raul speculated maliciously.

(Sirius: You said before that you would take all the responsibility, right?)

"You belong to the Loki Familia, right?" Artemis looked at the spiky-haired Raul with disgust.

"Ah, no…I'm not! I-I d-don't belong to the Loki Familia. You've got the wrong person, sorry!!!" Without waiting for Artemis to finish speaking, Raul denied her words three times in a row and then immediately ran out of the area.

'Guilty conscience, huh…' Artemis quickly saw through Raul's lies and wrote down this bad spiky head in her ban list in her mind.

"Sirius, how could you come here with someone like that?" Artemis reprimanded Sirius while referring to Raul.

"Ah, it's like this, Artemis-sama…Raul invited me here to see the special characteristics of Orario." Sirius didn't dare to lie in front of Artemis and answered quickly.

Because Orario is the 'center of the world', prostitutes here also come from all over the continent.

In the red light district, there are also architectural designs that cannot be seen near Orario, such as far east and desert areas.

There are open-plan eastern buildings and heavy stone buildings reminiscent of the cold north.

Various brothels with housing styles from all over the continent are spread out here, and the entertainment district is full of exotic scenery.

In a sense, this place can indeed be called the 'most characteristic' place of Orario.

"Eh~so are you following that guy?" Lante approached Sirius and felt that his words were not credible.

"He pulled me here…" Sirius answered flawlessly.

He put all the blame on Raul without thinking about any consequence.

Now, how to protect oneself is a crucial matter.

Anyway, Sirius and Raul did nothing but enter the entertainment district. Fortunately, they didn't enter the brothels.

In the worst case, if something bad should happen to Raul, that would be Finn reprimanding him, adding another dark history.

Other than that, there's nothing wrong.

"It's so suspicious…." The half-elf girl looked at Sirius relentlessly and tried to find clues from his face.

However, Sirius was almost immune to her sight.

The number of times Lante stared at him was not one or ten times but hundreds of times before joining Loki Familia. So, he's used to her staring.

Therefore, Sirius ignored the half-elf and started reminiscing with Artemis. Soon, they left the entertainment district and walked into the southern street.

Since Sirius cleared out his suspicions, Artemis didn't have a stern expression and responded to his words from time to time.

While chatting, it was inevitable to ask questions about the promotion of Sirius.

"Sirius, did you really reach level 2 in a month?"

After hearing this topic, Lante withdrew her gaze and asked in surprise.

If it took him a month to reach level 2, that would set a record for the shortest time to level up. Lante still felt unbelievable hearing this.

"What? Don't you believe it? Didn't I tell you before? Now I can hit three of you easily." Sirius raised his eyebrows and teased the half-elf by using her as a unit of measurement.

Although Lante didn't know what a unit of measurement was, she could still sense that Sirius's words didn't have any favorable meaning.

He must be speaking ill of herself.

But when the little girl rolled her eyes, she seemed to have thought of something, so she decided to ignore this matter temporarily and instead waved at him.

"Sirius, come here~" Lante reminded him to come over.

"???" Sirius was curious why she wanted to come over. So, with a bit of doubt, he leaned forward.

"Sirius, if you tell me how to get stronger quickly, how about I help you take down Artemis-sama quicker?" Lante whispered some tempting words.

"???" Sirius wanted to say yes to her attractive proposal when Artemis interrupted.

"Lante! What nonsense are you talking about!?" Unlike Sirius's surprise, Artemis, who heard the half-elf words, exploded in anger and embarrassment.

The blue-haired goddess grabbed Lante's pointed ears and pinched them in punishment.

"Ah! It hurts…Artemis-sama! I was wrong. It hurts…" Lante cried and begged for forgiveness.

'How dare this little girl say something like that. Did she think I would not punish her? It looks like Lante is a little haughty these days…' Artemis thought the latter was most likely.

'Oh, it's rare to see an elf's ears being pinched. Lante must not feel good…' Sirius watched this scene with interest and felt pity for the half-elf.

To be honest, he was pretty moved by Lante's proposal.

But now…he hoped that Lante was okay. Artemis looked angry while punishing her.
