Business

The next day, Integra wake up early. The sun is already appear but most of the people still sleeping except for the owner of restaurant or stall that have breakfast menu on the list. Integra wash his face on the wastafel in the room. Surprisingly for him, each room have wastafel on it. Though the toilet is separated and there's seem no bathtub for him to bath.

He then took all of his equipment and went down to the restaurant and he meet with a cat girl with brown hair and a girl with blue-ish gray hair. Integra didn't see the silver-haired girl yesterday. They preparing the restaurant to open soon.

The cat girl saw him and greeted him.

"Ah, Mr.Integra, good morning, nya~"

"Ms.Anya, good morning."

"Hahaha, you can just call me Anya, nya~. Don't be so stiff, nya~"

"Then I will do that."

Integra give her a smile before switching his gaze to the blue-ish gray hair.

"And this lady is?"

"I'm sorry for my late introduction, my name is Syr Flova, you can call me Syr."

"Nice to meet you, Ms.Syr. My name is Integra Hellsing, but you must already know, I suppose?"

"Nice to meet you too, Mr.Integra. Mama Mia already told me about you."

Integra just nodded to her.

"Can I order a breakfast?"

"Yeah, sure."

After that Integra order a sandwich for his breakfast and a warm code. It's nice breakfast for him and he enjoy it. After he finish his breakfast, he went outside and go to the store to buy a pouch. At first he considering to buy a bag but it will ruin his appearance so he erased that thought and buy a pouch. Maybe it sounds dumb, buy for him, his appearance is important. And he likes how he looks now.

When he exit the restaurant, he feels Syr observing him from behind but he didn't turn away to look at her and just ignores her. He already feels something different from her than other waitresses, and his instinct told him to not get involved with her. She was interested in Integra a bit but it just because his appearance and how he didn't affected by her charm, but that's it, his souls is not different from other people.

After walking for a bit, he finally found a store that sold adventurer's equipment. It's not just a sword and armor, but also a bag, pouch, coat, staff, etc. He bought a two medium waist pouch and placed it on his right waist. He wanted to buy the big one but it was too big to hang it on his waist, so he bought the medium one.

After that he waiting on the alleyway near the Babel Tower, waiting for Size Drake. He want to father his information as soon as possible. Though Integra know that Size Drake can find his observe, but Integra confidence that if he fully focus on his stealth, Size Drake will not realize that he get observed.

After waiting for around 30 minute, finally he saw Size Drake entering the dungeon. He threw his cigar to the ground and extinguished it. He then began walking and following Size Drake.

The upper floor is, as expected, easy for Size Drake. Until now Integra didn't see him use any ability or magic. He uses his sword to kill the monster without any trouble. He progressed to the 6th floor and now he has become more serious. His swordplay became sharper than before, but reckless. On the upper floor, he just swings his sword without any technique since he is already strong and can easily kill the monster there. But the more they dive into the dungeon, the monsters become more powerful.

Even though Size Drake is a level 3 adventurer, the amount of the monsters on the 6th floor is troublesome for him. He often gets surrounded but he manages to kill all the monsters. The weird thing was, whenever he is in a bad position when he is surrounded, his eyes become a bit red and his aura is changing. His swordplay is also changing. Before, his swordplay was reckless but powerful, but after his eyes changed, his swordplay became sharper and more detailed. It feels like he is a different person.

They keep going until the 10th floor. Size Drake uses his skill sometimes. Mainly it involved his sword. He can make a sword slash come from his sword when he swung it, make a crack on the floor when he stabbed his sword to the ground, and make a huge fire slash.

But he never used magic until now. Maybe he just doesn't have any magic with him? But with all of that skill, he should have at least one magic. So probably he just don't want to use it.

'He is more cautious than I thought.'

After that they progressing for a bit more and exit the dungeon. Integra get some useful information but he thinks he needs to observe him more. There's information that he feel lacking. But Integra planning to take action after 3 days of observing. Stalk him more than that, there's a huge possibility that Size Drake Will find out.

Inetgra also kill a monsters while following him, so he get nice amount of magic stone.

After they exit the dungeon, Integra following him for a bit but then he get stopped by a group of people. The one in front of the group is a woman with light red hair, her eyes was closed, seems closed. She wear a jeans and shirt that show her stomach. But Integra feels something different from her than other people.

'Goddess?'

"Sup, long-haired handsome boy." She greet Integra while smiling and waving her hands.

"Good afternoon. My name is Integra Hellsing  And you guys are?"

Integra scanning the group. Behind the Goddess was a short man with golden hair and two girl with brown skin with most of their skin was exposed. There's also a blonde-haired girl that he saw in the dungeon. The dwarf, the elf, and the silver-haired boy also there. And the last person was an elf with long golden yellow hair, round dark blue eyes, and pointy ears.

"I am Loki, Goddess, and they are my familia members."

"And what business that you guys have with me?"

"Well, talking while standing is uncomfortable. Why not go to the restaurant and talk there?"

"Sure."

Integra didn't reject. He want to follow Size Drake more but he also feels, with instinct, that Size Drake already feel something suspicious about his surroundings. Also Integra is curious about what will they discuss with him. Are they gonna complain? Are the gonna threaten him because he attacked their familia member? Or worse, they're gonna kill him?

'Well, maybe killing me is too extreme for that mere incident. But still, what will they discuss with me? I'm curious.'

Integra smokes his cigar while walking with them to the restaurant.

After walking for few minutes, finally they arrived at the restaurant. When they walking there, as expected a lot of eyes watching them. It's not just because of Integra's clothe, but also because the other party's presence. They are a the 2nd most powerful familia in the orario, so they are popular. And that powerful familia walking with their main force, so its strengthen their presence.

After that they sit facing each other in the VIP room. Before they start their talking, Integra orders a cup of coffee. Loki's familia standing behind their goddess while observing. Integra feels like a prisoner that get interrogated, he didn't like it but he didn't say anything. After his coffee arrive, he sip it a bit and place it on the table.

"So, what is your business with me?"

"Well, you must already know why I call you."

"Is it because that boy?" Integra ask while he looks at Bete.

Bete frowned a bit but after that his face changed into angry, but his eyes is avoiding Integra's eyes. Seems like he angry at himself.

"Yes. Well, I already heard what happen from Gareth and Riveria, but don't you think it's too much to attack him like that? He almost die, y'know?"

"But he didn't, right?"

"That's not the problem."

Integra smoke his cigar and blow it.

"So, what do you want? Just for you know, I will not apologize. I really hate people who think they are big but in reality they are not, and they let it out from their mouth. People like them need to know the reality. They are just a frog in the shell, they don't know what in the outside world, they think they know everything but no, they don't, they think other people that they first met are weaklings but in reality, they are the ones who are weaklings. And I really hate those people."

Loki smiles after hearing that.

"Well, that was good news. Because what I want is, for you to fight my level 5 familia members."

Integra squint his eyes a bit. After a few seconds looking into Loki's eyes for a bit, he smokes his cigar.

'Well, that's interesting. I never thought she would come with that.'

"Why?"

"Well as you say, they don't know how bug the outside world is. Sure they already fight stronger opponents but it's between monsters or other strong familia members. They never fought a strong opponent beside them, so I want to make them know that there's a lot of strong people so they Will not become arrogant."

"And what's the benefit for me?"

"We will not bothering you. It's true that it was Bete's fault for can't control his mouth, but I'm not happy with what you done to him. Even if he like that, he is still my child, and I can't just ignore it if someone harm them."

Her smile was gone. Now her expression is serious. Her eyes that usually seems closed now open, exposing her red eyes.

"Then why you not educate him properly?"

Both of them were staring at each other. The atmosphere between them was heavy. Even the other customers feel the pressure outside. Some of them gulped their saliva, while some of them stopped their lunch and sweated.

Integra closed his eyes and calm himself. He think a bit and decided.

"Alright. I will do that. I also have something to do here, and I don't want to have any trouble while doing my business."

Integra thinks, in the end he didn't get  anything besides they will not bother him. And actually Integra can get something more from this, but after thinking a bit further, he realized that with they not bothering him is actually count as benefit. They are a huge Familia. If they decided to bothering him in any way, it will make Integra in a bad situation. Yes, he have confidence to defeat all of them if it's one on one. If he fight the member in front of him at the same time, he will be defeated even with his Wabisuke. Maybe he can take care of 3 of them at the same time, but it will take so much time. And since he also had a mission that needed to be completed, he didn't have spare time to fight them.

"Well, happy to hear that." she said while smiling.

"So, when and where?"

"In my home, tomorrow afternoon."

After that they just enjoy their lunch. Loki's familia members also take their seats and order food. Why Loki brings her familia member to just standing behind her, you may ask, it's to show their authority, their strength, their influence, and their popularity. Those are important things when you negotiate with other people. To show them who you are, and what you can do. It seems like intimidating your opponent, but if it's for your advantage, it's a good thing. And as you can see, it works. Integra accept the offer without ask anything more.
