Celebration?

Chapter 65

"Huh? Why are you making such a weird face? How could I hurt you for no reason???" After seeing his reaction, Loki rolled her eyes speechlessly.

She isn't a murderous lunatic. So, there's no need to harm him. There are so many beautiful girls waiting for her after all…

"I'm making preparing for the next wave of status updates, alas… After every expedition, I need to bleed a lot. If I don't prepare in advance, I will have to poke my finger again and again with a needle. That's too painful for me!" Loki complained painfully.

Loki could endure poking her fingers once or twice to squeeze out blood.

But, if the number of times rises to dozes of times, that's another matter.

She can't stand so much pain. It's too painful for her.

Although the gods can't use their divine power in the lower realm and are no different from mortals, they can still feel pain and be injured.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Loki would be stupid not to make some preparations in advance.

"Since I updated your status, I decided to take this time to collect some blood. So, don't misunderstand. Boy!" Loki reassured Sirius.

"Alright, I understand. By the way, where did you get the kitchen knife?" Sirius sighed and curiously asked.

"Hehe…that's a secret. Don't care about such small details~" Loki chuckled and diverted the topic.

"..." Sirius looked at her suspiciously.

"By the way, there is a celebration tonight. Everyone will the there, don't forget, boy!" Loki couldn't stand his gaze and changed the subject.

"Me? I should be a little out of place, right? Loki?" Sirius pointed at himself with surprise on his face.

Usually, Loki Familia holds a grand banquet after the expedition.

He had known about this from the other members of the familia.

In the name of consolation, a certain alcohol-addict red-haired goddess will take this chance to bring everyone from the expedition team together and have fun.

The usual place for celebration is Hostess of Fertility. After all, there are plenty of delicious foods and drinks there.

Since it was a celebration for the expedition, people who stayed behind guarded the familia residence while the expedition team members had fun.

Sirius didn't belong to the expedition team. Therefore he thought he would not participate in the celebration party tonight.

After all, there is no reason for him to go there.

"What's with that face? Isn't your achievement of leapfrogging an irregular monster worth celebrating? I thought of putting both together~" Loki gave a reasonable explanation.

"Did you just come up with a reason?" Sirius narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Oh, don't pay attention to so many details, or you will be mentally exhausted. In short, Sirius-chan remember to join the party tonight." Loki shrugged off her shoulders and reminded him.

"...Alright, Is there anything else? Can I leave?" Sirius nodded and asked. Although he didn't like the suffix, he endured it in the face of his goddess.

"Nope. You're free to leave~" Loki had nothing else to say.

Although Loki is a very carefree goddess, it is tough to change her mind.

Sirius internally sighed, watching the red-haired goddess bleed herself, and left the room.

In the process of going downstairs, Sirius encountered Raul and Anakitty. They were walking up with a pile of supplies.

"Sirius! Thank god you didn't have an accident in the dungeon." As soon as Raul saw Sirius, he stepped forward joyfully.

"Ugh…Raul, do you really want me to have an accident?" When Sirius heard this, he responded with a polite but embarrassed smile.

"Ahem, cough, of course not. I was just worried about you, Sirius. Although you are powerful, you are still a newcomer. Therefore, I was worried whether you encountered something bad in the dungeon." Raul realized his mistake and explained it with a sheepish expression.

"I understand, brother! No need to say anything else." Sirius patted Raul's shoulder and said. He felt warm after hearing this.

"Sirius, I heard from Loki that you went to the 15th floor. Is that true?" Anakitty, beside Raul, couldn't help asking.

"Uh…It's true." Sirius didn't know how to answer without sounding boastful.

"Is it true? Amazing… I spent half a year on the upper floors before having the courage to go to the middle floors with comrades from the familia~" Anakitty didn't doubt his words and sighed with admiration.

Her cat ears trembled in excitement after hearing his affirmation.

"Well, I also had a teammate…." Sirius corrected the cat-girl.

"Eh? Teammate? Is it from outside?" Anakitty asked.

"Yes." Sirius nodded.

"What kind of person was your teammate? Can you tell me, Sirius?" The cat-girl was curious.

"Hmm…a calm and aloof person, maybe? Also, she's an elf~" Sirius thought for a while and answered.

Afterward, Sirius and Anakitty started talking about various topics and laughing. They forgot about a certain spiky-haired guy.

"???" A question mark appeared on Raul's face.

'What's with this situation? Why do they ignore me and chat with each other? Do I have no sense of presence?' Raul felt the malice from the world.

As a dignified level 4 adventurer from Loki Familia and a core member, Raul felt he had no sense of existence.

He was depressed and worried, looking at them laughing and talking with each other while walking away, ignoring his presence.

"Hey! Don't ignore me. Wait for me!" Raul realized they had walked away and quickly followed after them.

…

Sirius's plan to sleep in the afternoon fell apart.

After chatting with the curious cat-girl, he unknowingly approached the rest of the expedition team and helped them with some trivial stuff. He spent the entire afternoon helping out.

The cat-girls indeed have their unique charm.

They could even make Sirius, a closet pervert, work willingly.

Thanks to a particular goddess, everyone in the familia knew about his feat of defeating an upper-level irregular monster.

Those who knew about it for the first time were speechless in disbelief.

They looked at Sirius differently from before. In addition to kindness as a newcomer, there is also a sense of awe in their gazes.

Sirius is undoubtedly a powerful newcomer with a bright future. After joining the familia for only half a month, he could leapfrog and defeat a powerful irregular monster.

They didn't doubt their goddess's words since the big three also consented to this.

When Sirius finished the work, it was almost dark. It was almost time for the celebration party.

Hence, Sirius, Raul, and Anakitty headed toward the western street together.

It was previously decided that after everyone finished their respective works, they would head toward the western street and gather at the agreed location for the celebration.
