45 Tyrant's Eye?

Eina looked at his seemingly sincere eyes and didn't find any traces of sincerity.

All she saw was a looming recklessness trying to deceive her.

"...Really?" Eina sighed long and made it clear that she didn't fully believe his words.

"Of course. You can trust me." Sirius patted his chest in confidence.

"Then, Sirius, if your friend is a higher-level adventurer, can you tell me her name? An alias will also do fine." Eina adjusted her glasses and asked him.

When Sirius heard her inquiry, his mouth twitched indistinctly.

He just made a friend out of the blue. How could he possibly name his friend so suddenly?

A lie can't be covered by another lie. As it stacks up one after another, things get increasingly complicated.

Sirius understood this point but had no other choice now. If he doesn't answer immediately, Eina will get even more suspicious.

'...Wait a sec. I do have some strong friends….' Sirius quickly thought of something.

It's not that he had no higher-level friends. During this period, he expanded his social circle in the city.

If nothing else, there are still a few level 4 acquaintances.

Sirius didn't waste too much time thinking and quickly decided what to say next.

He approached Eina and whispered into her ears, "Well, for some reason, it's inconvenient for me to reveal the other party's name. As for her title, she is called 'Tyrant's Eye.' She is a very powerful adventurer."

"Tyrant's Eye??" When she heard of such a

Chuunibyou-style title, Eina couldn't help but have a few question marks on her head.

Although this alias might sound a bit weird, it fits in line with the god's inexplicable sense of naming.

Now, Eina wasn't sure whether he was lying or not.

After all, Sirius is a member of the powerful Loki Familia.

With their connections, it is not unacceptable for him to get acquainted with some powerful adventurers outside of the family.

"...Well, let me confirm once again. Is your friend really a powerful adventurer? Can she guarantee your safety?" Eina had no choice but to believe in his words and asked.

"Of course. With such a cool title, my friend is a real deal. There will also be some seniors from my familia as supporters. It's very safe and secure. So, don't worry too much, Eina!" Sirius tried to dispel her worries.

He also sensed her tendency to believe, so he quickly helped her conclude.

"Didn't the main forces of Loki Familia go to the expedition? How can there be some seniors to take you to the dungeon?" Eina quickly caught the loopholes in his words and looked at him suspiciously.

"...Well, some level 2 seniors are left behind to guard the residence. I'm taking some with me…." Sirius quickly gave her the answer.

He felt bad for lying, but he had no other choice.

A lie indeed needs to be covered by more lies.

"..." Eina was speechless after hearing his swift reply.

She instinctively felt something was off, but with his perfect and reasonable response, she had no choice but to agree.

"...okay, I'll give you the information…." Eina sighed and turned around. She started rummaging through piles of documents on her table.

She quickly gave him information about the middle floors and the suspected irregular monster without letting Sirius wait for too long.

"Sirius, since you have decided to follow her to the middle floors, allow me to say something. Please cherish your life and don't take any risky adventures!" Eina looked serious while saying this.

Sirius was the first rookie she was in charge of. Eina didn't want to see his missing notice on the bulletin board after a few days.

"Eina, I'll remember your words…." When he heard her concern, he nodded in agreement.

But whether he will follow them or not is up to fate itself.

'Eina, adventurers who don't take risks will never become stronger….' Sirius understood this point very well.

He naturally cherished his life very much, but no one knows whether he would have an in the future? It's out of his control.

Sirius can't see through destiny. Therefore he won't make any guarantee about this kind of thing.

After receiving the documents, Sirius swiftly left the guild.

He checked them up while walking down a sparsely populated alley.

He chose this way to avoid bumping into others while he was busy checking out the information recorded in the documents.

"If I want to go to the middle floors, I must have a sufficient amount of potions, whether it is health or magic potion."

"Fortunately, I have stockpiled a lot of them from Amid. It should be enough for my trip. But…"

"Teammate, huh… I don't know whether the other party will accept my invitation…." Sirius muttered and sighed while looking at the sky.

Team action is common among adventurers, especially when going to deeper floors. Solo adventurers won't last very long on lower floors, after all.

It is not a matter of personal ability but a problem that cannot be solved alone.

Therefore, he also wanted to find someone to form a team to explore the middle floors.

He had some candidates in his heart, but he could not guarantee whether the other party would accept his invitation.

As for the seniors left in his familia, he could not ask them for such a thing.

After all, they have the job of guarding the residence while the others are out on an expedition.

Even though Loki might agree to his request, Sirius quickly gave up this idea. He didn't want to add more trouble to them.

"Oya, I heard something interesting…." Suddenly some footsteps came from the depth of the alley, followed by some teasing voice.

The voice was kind of sloppy, mixed with some ridicule.

A few seconds later, a human appeared from the other side of the alley carrying a big sword on his back.

The guy habitually put his hands inside his pockets, acting as a standard gangster.

"My friend, I couldn't help overhearing your muttering. Are you looking for some people to form a team? Why don't you consider us then?" The guy gave some signal, and five more people appeared beside him.

Sirius didn't know where these guys were hiding around. He even saw a guy coming out of a wooden box.

"Am I being ambushed in the alleys by some gangsters? You guys are too professional, right?" Sirius chuckled and commented on their appearances.

The guy talking before saw Sirius in a good mood and felt insulted.

They are gangsters, not some comedians!

Even though Sirius called them professional gangsters, his expression had not an ounce of fear.

"Stop talking nonsense, boy! Hand over all your money, or else we will make you look good!" The man became angry and started threatening. His friends also started surrounding Sirius.

"Let me put these documents aside first…." Sirius ignored their threats, sorted out his documents, and tucked them under his arms.

"Now, let me return your greeting…." Suddenly Sirius sharpened his eyes and dashed at the gangsters.

His next actions were swift and ruthless as a lighting bolt.

Sirius sprinted toward the talking guy and swept his leg to make him off balance. Then, he raised his elbow to strike the man's chest.

At this moment, the guy's companions also reacted.

Because of numerical advantage, they did not choose to run away but gritted their teeth and decided to fight.

But, it didn't take too much time and effort for Sirius to clean them up.

After some time, he clapped his hands and walked out of the alley.

However, halfway through, he could not help but look at the figure standing before him.

"...Well, I'm sorry for letting you see such a joke, Ryuu-san!" Sirius greeted the other party with a smile.
