Curious Loki Familia!

Chapter 61

"Nothing special happened. It's just a 'normal' growth speed…maybe?" Loki blinked a few times and answered.

"???" Immediately after hearing this, the others felt mocked.

"Loki, has Sirius leveled up yet?" Finn pinched his chin and guessed some truth about the matter.

Loki smiled and nodded.

"Well, not yet. Since his basic stats were almost about to max out, Sirius was prepared to go on an adventure to gain an achievement great enough to level up."

"Some adventurers reported the sighting of an irregular monster a few days ago, and Sirius felt that this task was enough for his upgrade."

"That night, the kid told me he found a level 4 helper and would explore the middle floors with her. The next day, he went straight to the dungeon."

"And just yesterday, the guild announced that someone successfully crusaded the irregular black wyvern on the 15th floor, but until now…." Loki had worry on her face.

"Sirius hasn't come back yet?" Finn couldn't bear the pause and completed her last words.

"I understand the situation. That's why you asked us if we saw Sirius on our return?" Riviera also realized the situation and said.

"Yeap, Mama-san. That's the situation." Loki smiled at Riveria.

"How many times have I told you not to call me by that nickname!" When Riveria looked at Loki's smiling face, she wanted to smash it with her staff.

"Well, well, calm down all of you… Although it is weird for Sirius not to return yet, since he has a level 4 adventurer accompanying him, it should not be a big problem. Loki, you should have a little more trust in your child…." The reliable dwarf, Gareth, rubbed his beard and expressed his opinion.

"You're right. Actually, I expected him to bump into you guys…." After hearing this, Loki nodded with a sigh.

Ais carefully listened to their conversation and couldn't help but interject, "Uhmm…how did Sirius become so strong in such a short time?"

In half a month, Sirius transformed from a rookie who had just accepted falna to a powerful adventurer comparable to level 2.

Ais was curious about his secrets and hoped to get an answer from Loki.

Ais was not the only one interested in Sirius. Everyone else in the room was more or less curious about him, especially Tione, Tiona, and Bete, who are at level 5.

After reaching level 5, they noticed that their speed of progress was gradually becoming slower and slower. It's becoming increasingly difficult for them to increase their basic stats.

So, when they heard that Sirius became stronger quickly, how could they not be curious? In addition, Sirius is their companion, so they have a good reason to be interested.

"Uh, this…" Loki deliberately lengthened her voice and looked at the eager Ais. She couldn't help smiling and wanted to tease her.

"I don't know either!"

"—!!"

The next moment, Ais was stunned for a while, then immediately realized her goddess had deceived her. Ais pouted and puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

'I knew Loki would this….' As a senior veteran, the big three of Loki Familia immediately guessed their goddess's subsequent actions after seeing her mischievous smile.

"Well, Ais-tan, don't be angry! Your question is related to his secrets. Therefore, as his main deity, I cannot disclose it without his permission." When Loki looked at Ais's darkening expression, she immediately apologized. Although she still had a smile on her face.

After seeing this, the corner of Riveria's mouth twitched.

'Nobody will believe you with such a smile…' Riviera complained internally.

It was clear that Loki wanted to take this opportunity to tease Ais more.

After a while, everyone in the room put this matter aside and started discussing topics about their previous expedition.

…

At the same time, in the western part of Orario, Hostess of Fertility,

Sirius and Ryuu came in front of the tavern. Ryuu had changed into a waitress's uniform.

Ryu changed her clothes in the dressing room of tower of babel. There are various special facilities for adventurers in the building like a shower room, dressing room, etc.

Many adventurers will go to the shower room as soon as they return to the surface to clean up the traces of battle. It was a useful facility.

There was a 'closed' sign at the entrance of the tavern. Ryuu calmly pushed the door open and stepped inside. As a waitress, she knew some things about the tavern.

When they passed through the door, the bell chimed at the top.

"Nya? The tavern is closed… Nya!! Ryuu, who eloped with a nasty fellow, is finally back, Nya!"

The time was almost noon, and Anya, preparing to open the store, laid a tablecloth on a table. She subconsciously wanted to greet the customer but paused in the middle after seeing their faces and yelled out loud.

"Me, Eloped!?" As soon as she entered and heard such explosive words, Ryuu's face started blushing in embarrassment.

"Anya! Why are you saying such nonsense? Who's eloping!?" Ryuu sounded angry and shy while saying this. But, her rebuttal seemed lacking in momentum.

"Baka-Neko, can't you call me by my name? Who are you calling a nasty fellow!?" Sirius also heard Anya's words after entering the tavern and rebutted with a dark expression. He also didn't forget to close the door.

"Nya! Of course, you are a nasty fellow. Since you bully me so much, if you are not a nasty fellow, then who is?" Anya raised her chin and tried to look at Sirius with contempt.

But, the result is not satisfactory. There is a big difference between their heights.

Anya is only 1.5 meters tall, whereas Sirius is 1.8 meters tall. Therefore, she couldn't match his height even if she tried to stand on her toes.

She looked like a bullied sister trying to look up to her brother.

"Oh? Since I'm a nasty fellow, it's reasonable for me to bully you, right?" Sirius rubbed Anya's head with a mischievous expression. He especially enjoyed stroking her soft ears.

"Nya!!!" All the hairs on Anya's body stood erect in anger. She wanted to pounce on him and bite him with her sharp teeth, but his hands on top of her head prevented such actions.

"Nya, Ryuu looks shy…The situation seems complicated, Nya! What do you think, Lunoire?" Another black-haired cat-woman whispered to her companion. She was Chloe Rollo.

"Me? I also agree with you, Chloe. There's something fishy going on~" A waitress with brown eyes and medium-length brown hair beside Chloe whispered back. She was Lunoire Faust.

"..." Chloe was speechless by her friend's words and turned around and gave Lunoire a blank expression.

'Do you have to describe it as fishy? Can't you use other words? Please respect my status as a cat-people, Nya!' Chloe had a big drama going on inside her mind.

Soon, Syr Flova, the most popular waitress in the tavern, emerged from the kitchen and came beside Ryuu with a sweet smile.

"Aah~Welcome back, Ryuu." Syr greeted her elf friend.

"I'm back, Syr." Ryuu calmed down, withdrew her gaze from Anya, and returned a smile at her human friend.

Syr Flova is the only waitress without any power in Hostess of Fertility. But, she is still a unique member of the tavern.

She has a simple and friendly personality, treats everyone equally without discrimination, and is highly popular among male customers.

In front of her smile, even the roughest of adventurers can't help but relax.

Although Sirius was very wary of Syr because he knew some of her secrets, he had a good relationship with her thanks to the presence of others as middlemen. So, they can be regarded as superficial friends.

After all, he didn't know the inner thoughts of this goddess…
