Hostess Of Fertility!

Chapter 92 - Hostess Of Fertility!

"In the current Orario, wandering around alone at night is not safe. Be careful not to get attacked in some corner, or are you actually one of these criminals?"

A tall and robust woman approached from nearby, appearing as if she had just been through a battle, exuding a strong aura of aggression.

In the past few days, Mia Grand had prepared various matters for opening her tavern.

After the tavern is constructed, she will, of course, have to clean up the surrounding areas.

Therefore, every night recently, she wandered around, dealing with small-time troublemakers, unruly adventurers, and the remnants of Evilus.

In another day or two, this area would be considered her territory, and the miscreants would have to curb their activities in this area.

Then, the tavern could open for business as usual.

Today, after another patrol, she noticed a young man standing in front of her newly built tavern, seemingly lost in thought.

Judging by his appearance, he wasn't too old, and his height suggested he wasn't a dwarf either, most likely a new adventurer.

As the former leader of Freya Familia, Mia Grand, who always cared for newcomers, couldn't help but speak up.

In this period of chaotic law and order, night travel is not a good habit.

Of course, she also kept in mind whether the Evilus were up to something bad, and maybe this boy was the trap they set.

"So kid, if nothing happens, you'd better go home quickly, just in case..."

"Huh? You're from Loki Familia?"

Mia Grand approached the young man, intending to advise him to return home if he had no business here.

However, as she got closer, she noticed the emblem on his clothes, which belonged to Loki Familia.

"Hello, I am a newcomer from Loki Familia."

Feeling Mia Grand's warning and vigilance, Luke, who had no intention of opposing her, announced his affiliation with Loki Familia, hoping to reduce her wariness.

As Mia Grand looked at Luke's face, she carefully recalled.

"Young, newcomer, swordsman, from Loki Familia... I see. You are the recently talked-about super rookie."

"Super rookie? What's that?"

Luke was a bit puzzled by Mia Grand's words.

He and Ais, who had been following Finn and Riveria most of the time, were not aware of the various rumors circulating in the city.

"What? You don't know yet? The news about Loki Familia recruiting two geniuses has been circulating throughout the city."

After confirming Luke's identity, Mia Grand did lower some of her guard.

"Rumors like super rookies, secret weapons to surpass Freya Familia, a conspiracy to overthrow the Guild's dominance—those kinds of stories have spread through the streets and alleys long ago."

Mia Grand explained to Luke while approaching him.

"Come inside the tavern with me, I also have something to ask you. Information exchange, that's your purpose, right?"

"Huh? No, wait..."

Luke just wanted to explain that his presence here was just a coincidence when Mia grabbed him and brought him into the tavern.

Feeling the irresistible force on his arm, Luke could only helplessly follow her and sit down inside the tavern.

Truly deserving of being a first-class adventurer, and also a dwarf known for strength, this strange power was many times stronger than Finn's.

Luke sat on the chair, curiously looking around the tavern that frequently appeared in the original work.

After Luke sat down, Mia Grand told him to 'wait a moment' and went into the tavern's kitchen, leaving him wondering what she was doing.

"Hmm? Are you a customer?"

Mia Grand's entry with Luke caught the attention of others in the store, and two young girls wearing waitresses' outfits approached.

One was a silver-haired human girl, and the other was a brown-haired cat-eared girl.

The cat-eared girl was the first to come forward.

"Hehe, meow, I saw it just now. You were caught by Mama Mia, nya."

"Tell me, are you a bad guy caught by Mama Mia, nya?"

The lively cat-eared girl kept questioning Luke.

The silver-haired human girl, on the other hand, quietly stood there observing him.

"Stop it, Anya, he's a customer, don't be rude!"

Mia Grand, who came out of the kitchen, put the plate on the table and scolded the cat-eared girl, Anya.

However, although Mia scolded Anya, she kept the silver-haired girl by her side.

"Because we haven't officially opened, the kitchen doesn't have many ingredients, so I can only make this. If you don't mind, have some."

Mia sat across from Luke and pointed to the dish on the table.

It must be said that Mama Mia's cooking looked quite tempting, even if it wasn't as abundant due to limited ingredients, it was still better than many restaurants on the street.

The banquet tonight was interrupted halfway, and to be honest, Luke hadn't eaten enough.

Now, facing the other party's kindness, he certainly didn't intend to refuse.

However, there was something that needed to be clarified in advance.

"Well, I didn't come here tonight to gather information."

Luke actually just wanted to see this tavern that frequently appeared in the original work, similar to visiting a tourist attraction.

As for accidentally bumping into Mia Grand, it was purely a coincidence.

If Mama Mia hadn't grabbed him and brought him into the tavern, he should have already returned to Loki Familia's headquarters by now.

Luke's explanation left Mia Grand stunned.

She turned her head to glance at the silver-haired girl, Syr Flova, standing beside her.

When Syr nodded to her, indicating that Luke was not lying, Mia Grand sighed in relief.

"I thought you were sent by Finn or that hateful dwarf to gather information, but I didn't expect that it was me who misunderstood." Mia Grand said.

The moment she confirmed Luke's identity, she assumed he was someone sent by Finn and the others to exchange information with her.

After all, she was well aware of the impact her retirement announcement would cause.

Coincidentally, she also had some messages she wanted to convey to Finn.

As a recognized future core member of Loki Familia, Luke, with Finn's authorization, would have the right to negotiate on behalf of his Familia with others.

In the past, Mia Grand had done similar things for the sake of training new members.

Allied Familias often sent new members to each other, allowing the other side to test/challenge the newcomer.

After all, some matters were inconvenient to handle within the Familia, making it a unique form of training.

So, without much thought, she directly brought Luke in.

"Well, since it was my misunderstanding, consider this meal my treat. I originally planned to use it as a bargaining chip after you finished eating," Mia Grand said.

Hearing this, Luke twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Apparently, even this meal was part of a scheme.

However, despite the lack of a premise for information exchange, both Luke and Mia Grand intended to continue the conversation.
