Response
Alright, having one Trait is great! As long as a person knows how to make the best use of the trait, he'll live well.
But having two traits is just... unfair. Not to the user, oh, no! To the world.
After committing the slaughter of the domestic populace like usual and then cooking three different bentos for a total of 55 boxes, Jackal came to a sudden realization.
Now, don't get him wrong. As obvious as this realization may be, these things take time.
'I... introduced my products to the market of Orario. So... they should also reflect in Humble Store, right?'
The moment he thought of that, Jackal settled on his sofa and checked his first trait.
Humble Store.
'There it is,' his gaze glimmers, and then an idea blooms in his mind. Hunger pumps through his veins.
After all... he might have discovered a cheat to break the system. He will use Humble Store to move past Death Eater's disadvantages!
Looking back, Jackal gazes at the large waterproof sac filled with organs and the ashes of Ollie's cousins.
'Huh... my days of being a menace to them may just end this quickly...'
As usual, after preparing the meals, Jackal checks his weapons. One of his previous axes was too damaged to be used so he replaced both of them with slightly better ones. His leather armor, too, is of a better quality being stitched from monster drops and whatnot.
A part of him wants to delve deeper into the magical elements of this world. Smithing and such.
But...
'I have no falna, what can we do,' he sighs. With how great things are going using Death Eater, Jackal does not want to submit to a God or a Goddess for immediate gratification of other magical abilities.
'That's right! Magic existed before the age of Falna, too. Yes, those magic might be cumbersome but who says I can't make a better one? Death Eater has nurtured my mind constantly and it's always feeding an unknown source within me... a magical source. I have a basement, right? I can customize it into a smithy and try to do things myself...'
Blinking, he opens his Humble Store, 'Let's check for self-help guides for smithing and magic~!'
That morning, he entered Dungeon a bit late but he was positively ecstatic.
---
"Oh, congratulations, Miach-sama, Naaza," Jackal grins, "So? How many potions should I put you up for?"
"Three of each," Naaza responds softly while sleepily blinking.
"Sure~!" Jackal grins and starts setting the products. After Naaza paid for the products, he chimes, "As for finally being my proper customers, let me give you the best deal ever!"
Jackal takes out one more of his potions from each line and grins, "All six of my products for one Valis each!"
"Huh?" Miach and Naaza gasp at the same moment.
"We can't possibly take advantage of you like that," Miach shakes his head but Jackal was having none of it. He's here to make a killing and knowing that Miach is one of the Gods who understands a silent hint and doesn't poke much, Jackal leans forward. His gaze is lit with a sense of avarice and he locks his strange gold-red eyes with Miach's dark-blue orbs.
"You should believe me Miach-sama that I'm the one taking advantage here. Consider this mutual benefit. After all, I won't just give out freebies, you two should know that by now."
Miach and Naaza glance at their stacks of Bento boxes.
"Well, aside from that," Jackal smirks, "So, would you like to earn total profits once a day? This benefit is only open for Blue Pharmacy and Blue Pharmacy alone."
Miach sighs while Naaza is already chewing her lips. Unable to contain herself at such a good deal, she nods, "We'll take it!"
"That's why you're the cutest Chienthrope around, Naaza~!" Jackal grins.
"Huh?" she chokes a bit and glances at Miach from the corner of her eyes who smiles, "My, Jackal-kun, you may be the first mortal child who has never lied to me."
'Haaaahhhhh?' Naaza lowers her head and bites her lower lip. No... her heart cannot take it. She already has someone she likes.
"Naaza?"
She looks at Jackal who leans forward with an earnest expression, "So?"
"I..." A deep blush carpets her fair cheeks. Her violet eyes glint. 'I cannot... I love the bento boxes. They actually make me want more... but I shouldn't feel like this. I... I only have Miach-sama. How can I do this to him? But Jackal is just as kind as Miach-sama. He's looking out for us—'
A hand holds her shoulder firmly and Naaza looks up to find Miach smiling in encouragement. He nods gently.
'He... Miach-sama is permitting me? How could you... I... I cannot. My heart wants Miach-sama but why does my stomach aches for Jackal... No, that sounds SO wrong!'
'But... I Miach-sama is alright... I can at least... try...'
She glances at Jackal hesitatingly and gulps.
"Alright..."
"Aright? Sweetheart, pull your head in the game. Six Valis, please."
Naaza's expression blanks out before she assumes her sleepy but significantly gloomier gaze. With her voice laced with iciness, she hums, "Of course. Your six Valis."
Miach and Jackal look at each other cluelessly.
'Of course... what was I thinking. Anyone who can bond with Miach-sama has got to be equally clueless and insensitive about what he speaks to... c-cute girls... cute Chienthropes...'
The moment Jackal got his six Valis, he rushed out. No, he RAN!
"Thank you! I'm in a bit of a hurry and good luck!"
"He does seem to be in a hurry..."
"What gave it away?" Naaza scoffs and picks up her Bento boxes and potions before leaving.
"Hmm? Naaza is acting oddly energetic. Good for her." He smiles and opens the first box, "Breakfast time."
---
Being equally in a hurry while depositing the Bento boxes in Maria's Orphanage, Jackal quickly opens his door and confirms the Counter Block device before setting his backpack aside and opening his Humble Store.
"Pfft! It worked! It fucking worked!"
Jackal laughed loudly, "Oh, Naaza, you really are the best!"
After all, the latest prize for his potions in Humble Store is now... 1 Valis each!
"Purchase~! Purchase! PURCHASE!"
Jackal smoothly purchased five hundred potions.
This is what he meant by that he would use Humble Store to work on Death Eater's disadvantage!
He does not need to butcher every animal every time now! He doesn't have to clean blood from his bathroom every day! As for the Bento, he can just buy already processed meat from the butcher! Oh, how great!
'This also means, I can only butcher a single street dog and cat. They are hard to find so I doubted I could make a line of steady items from them but it should work now. Man, having two traits is the BEST!'
This is also the reason he rushed here.
He wanted to open the store before Naaza makes a sale which would reset the price noted in her shop. After all, Humble Store only keeps a track of the latest prices.
'But business is business~ If giving Miach Familia such a heavy discount helps them as well as helps me, why not do it?"
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Thud*
"Oi! Open the door!"
Loki's shout echoes from the outside.
"Store opens at 9, dipshit. Wait like everyone else!"
"Wow, Ais-chan, you weren't joking about him being funny... huh, funny that. This means you have a sense of humor, too! Congratulations!" A giggle echoes after his voice.
"This is not funny," A serious... somewhat boyish voice admonishes the speaker and another woman hisses, "Right, Tiona! Captain Finn is a busy man!"
*Thuck*
*Thuck*
*Thuck*
This time the knocking grew severe and Riveria's stern voice echoes, "Stop it, Bete, or do you want to get tied up again."
"Tch."
"Yeah, listen to her," Jackal drawls lazily and several heads suddenly plant themselves on the colored window next to his counter to see what he is doing.
"Ah! Damn you, Jack! Who the fuck crunches on Gemlings?!"
"Those who own loads of it!" He cackles while setting potions at his own pace, "Lala~ lala~!"
"Ah," another voice echoes, "Loki Familia?"
"Hmm? Shakti-chan~! Come, I AM GANESHA!" Loki shouts before calling, "Now give mama some wove~!"
*Thud*
Jackal doesn't need to know what happened next.
After half an hour, Jackal unlocks the door and smiles kindly, "Welcome, dear customers."
And then he stills.
'Man... there are a lot of people...'
"Wait," Jackal waves his hand, "Only three from each group can enter at once."
Many glares fell on him as he shrugs, "What can you do, it's a new policy. And I hear that the owner is kind of an ass about it!"
He skips back to his counter. Before Loki could enter, a pair of smooth hands, Riveria's, Jackal notes, pulls the Goddess back. Instead, a short blonde 'boy' walks in. Next, a busty amazoness decides to step in but Riveria's hand clenches her by the back of her neck again and pulls her back.
"Unhand me! I should go with Captain Finn, right?!"
"Hmph, fucking pathetic!" A grey-headed werewolf steps in next... only for Riveria's hand to strike again.
The Blonde Boy, meanwhile, calmly looks at Jackal.
A pallum, Jackal is well aware. And one of the most famous pallums no less.
"Sigh, all of them give me a headache," Riveria steps in with Ais. Another amazoness flat board decides to step in when the previous amazoness grapples her and pulls her back.
Finally, a familiar blue-haired and blue-eyed woman in orange adventurer outfit steps in with a stoic look.
"Yo, Shakti," Jackal greets the very famous captain of one of the well-known Familias— Ganesha, "Did you test all of them?"
Yesterday, the Ganesha Familia purchased everything after coming here to check on the store. With his store listed as adventurer class, it is bound to be investigated once by the 'police' of Orario— Ganesha Familia. But Shakti was also interested in the products and their effects so she bought them.
"Indeed, your potions seem to work well with monsters their vessel of the potions share features with," Shakti nods, "Kobolds were very aggressive, and Goblins... well..." she looks sideways with a dusting of red, "I don't think I shall purchase that particular potion."
The Loki Familia, at least, the portion inside, calmly watches the two converse.
"Well, that's fine," Jackal smirks, "So? How many potions can I hook you up with?"
Looking at the shelves and then at the Loki Familia, Shakti nods, "All aside from the love potions."
Riveria bristles but the blonde youth as short as a thirteen-year-old teen shakes his head.
"I'm sorry. I realized that getting sold out first thing in the morning is kind of boring so a single customer can only purchase five potions a day."
This makes everyone furrow their brows but Shakti looks more serious than usual, "Another policy."
"Afraid so," Jackal smiles.
"Very well, I shall keep that in mind," Shakti nods and points to the dual potions, "Five, please."
"You got it~!" Jackal grins and packs the potion in brown bags before handing it to Shakti as she sets a pouch of coins on the counter.
"Pleasure doing business with you. Do visit again."
"I shall try," Shakti nods with a relaxed smile.
"Now..." Jackal leans forward and looks at Ais, "Did you like the food?"
She nods but then lowers her head with a conflicted look, "I... accidentally broke the box. I apologize."
"And you?" Jackal looks at Riveria who sighs, "My teammates... fought over it and..." she shakes her head, bringing news of the demise of one of Jackal's many, many bento boxes.
"Tione did it!" A shout from the outside breaks the mournful atmosphere in the shop!
"Hah?! You snatched it, Tiona!"
"Bleh!"
"So?" Jackal looks at the 'boy' "I didn't think dipshit's captain would be swinging by. Finn Deimne, or Braver of Loki Familia. How may I assist you?"
"First, I would like to caution you from calling our Goddess insults," Finn's brows furrow slightly.
"Goddess? I thought she is a mortal around here. As long as she's got flesh and bones, she doesn't get divine privileges here," Jackal smirks without missing a beat.
"Beat him up! Finn!" Loki's shout echoes from the outside.
"I will be doing no such thing," Finn closes his eyes for a moment and then looks at Jackal, "So, you insult every god and goddess? It sounds like a risky way to live."
"I'm sorry but I don't insult anyone, you can ask Loki later. I call 'em as I see 'em. So what you think as insults are facts for me."
The corner of Finn's lips twitches as Jackal hums, "But if you're worried I would physically assault a God, then fortunately, no divine has ever given me a reason to do so."
Finn takes a deep breath, "It would have been better if Loki-sama was here instead of me."
"That's why you need to be here," Riveria sighs.
Finn hadn't believed her yesterday when she told him all about Jackal's interaction with their Goddess. Seeing is believing and Finn believes that Jackal may be more than just arrogant.
He is downright suicidal.
"So..." Drawling and sitting back on his chair, Jackal questions, "What would you like to buy?"
"I wished to talk about a contract."
"No more than a single contract," Jackal cuts him off. In this regard, Jackal gives Miach's familia preferential treatment but what of it? He's a selfish asshole.
"We should just thrash the dipshit's store!" A much rougher snarl echoes in irritatingly.
"If you do that, I'll throw Love Potions at you. It only works on levels 1 and 2 but it should make you guys feel hot and bothered, no?" He winks.
A hungry gasp echoes, "Toss them all on Captain Finn! I'll take responsibility!"
Electing to ignore that last part, Finn comments, "Our familia will never buy those Love Potions."
"Aw..."
Loki's pitiful whine echoes.
"Sigh... five dual potions for me. The rest of my teammates will make purchases, too."
"Cool," Jackal shrugs.
"I'll take the berserker potions then," Riveria sighs.
Jackal then looks at Ais who gives a short smile and nods confidently, "Five candies, bento..."
Finn and Riveria deadpan as Jackal chuckles, "You know what, you're a persistent one."
Fishing out candy and unwrapping it, Jackal grins, "Look alive, Ais!" He tosses the glimmering red crystal candy with his thumb high in the air and without missing a beat, Ais leaps into the air gracefully, opens her mouth, and snatches the candy midair before rolling and landing lightly.
Riveria and Finn thin their lips while Ais's gaze grows spirited and she smiles at Jackal.
"And you don't have to pay for that," he laughs heartily, "You're officially a little child in my eyes, too!"
Her smile freezes as he hums and takes out a bento box, "Here you go. Kids need all the energy they can get!"
"I want more," Ais states seriously.
"Ais, you shouldn't," Finn frowns when Jackal shrugs, "How many?"
Ais thinks for a moment before extending four fingers.
"Kay, I'll cook more for you tomorrow."
She nods and... she does want to refute that she is not a child. But... that would stop the steady flow of candies. So, she picks up the bento and grumbles, "I'll grow."
Not waiting for others, she leaves the store.
"I will purchase in Ais's stead or is that against the policy, too?" Riveria looks at Jackal critically.
"If you abuse this method then there will be a policy soon enough~!"
"You take nothing seriously do you?" Riveria frowns, letting a bit of her disagreement with Jackal's behavior slip through her expression.
"Serious men CAN smile, Nine Sweetness," Jackle shrugs as Riveria narrows her eyes, "This kind of words to other, more disagreeable adventurers, will result in backlash eventually. You should know it, 'Rock Heart' Jackal. You used to be known for professionalism."
"I got tired of that act," Jackal replies, "Why do I need to act like that just because everyone wants to die in the dungeon?"
"You included..." Finn interjects as Jackal works his jaw before smiling, "Me included. After all, we all want to see what's on the other side, don't we?"
Finn hums, "There is another reason why we are here. As Shakti Varma deduced, your potions are directly linked to a few monsters of the dungeon. A skill or magic, no doubt. If the potions are related to the magic stone taken from the monsters, we would like to supply you with magic stones of higher-leveled monsters and purchase those potions."
Jackal looks toward the door and narrows his eyes, "Well, sure."
"The bastard's lying!" Loki's shout echoes, making Finn and Riveria release a collective sigh. They could see Jackal is goading their goddess but Loki didn't know it, did she?
Grinning, Jackal shakes his head, "I make potions at my own pace, no point in rushing me."
"If you'd like to deep dive the dungeon, that can be arranged, too," Finn hums.
Surprising both Riveria and Finn with a rare moment of sincerity, Jackal nods, "I appreciate the gesture but I'll have fun on my own. And, don't mind my 'rudeness' it is what I'd like to add. I like to not hold back my opinions."
"Calling me Nine Sweetness is not an opinion," Riveria narrows her eyes.
Smiling, Jackal looks at her. No, he really looks at her. From her eyes to her nose and lips. Her chin, her ears, her hands, her legs. And her body. It's well-covered by her outfit that doesn't conform to the more 'exposed' look that other female adventurers assume.
"You're right. That's no opinion but a humble fact."
Riveria takes heaves deeply before turning to the door, "Captain will bring my share of potions, too."
"Nine Sweetness~!" A sweet chime echoes the moment Riveria opens the door, causing her to turn and shoot an annoyed glare in Jackal's direction which he responds with a joyous wave of his hand.
"The next expedition will be troublesome..." Finn sighs and stares at Jackal, "You did that on purpose."
"Better to be on purpose than to be misunderstood," he shrugs.
Finn stares at Jackal for a moment before sighing, "Well, I take that there is no other subject left to discuss. I would like..."
---
After Finn, three girls step in.
One elf and two Amazonesses.
The elf has a worried and nervous look in her blue eyes. Her long and pointed elven ears twitch slightly as she catches sight of Jackal while clutching her staff close to her chest. Her golden-yellow hair is worn in a long ponytail and for a moment she cannot help but stare at his significantly odd eyes.
Of the well-known twin Amazonesses, the flat-chested one with a white tube top around her chest looks around with curious green eyes. Like any average amazonian, she wears more than a revealing outfit. Her flat stomach is left bare and a large strip of red fabric is wrapped around her waist that hides most of her legs from behind but the range of movement is quite great as seen from her large strides.
For a moment, Jackal observes the golden clasps around the two thick locks of her medium-length dark hair that frame her cute face. These golden clasps give her quite a refreshing charm. Her energetic grin is in a class of its own.
Many amazoness try HARD to be seductive but... well...
'We, proud and cultured men, fall head over heels for less.'
Finally, the other twin is well-endowed. Her hair is longer, too, and unlike her twin, this woman wears her locks framing the side of her face in thick braids. Instead of a tube top, she wears a red bikini-like top that wraps around her back and neck. Like her sister, she wears a similar battle skirt.
Both of them are barefoot as their anklets jingle a soft chime ever so slightly.
"Morning," Jackal greets them with a smile.
"Right!" The younger twin, Tiona, chimes, "Candies~!"
"No!" Jackal grins and replies with the same energy. Charm like this does not affect him as Tione, the older twin, sighs, "Focus. We're here to purchase potions. So, 15 Love—"
"I said we won't be buying any of that!" Finn's stern command makes Tione pout while Tiona giggles.
"Riveria said that you used to be a guild member," Tiona sets her hands on the counter and leans forward with a curious smile, "Why are you going into the dungeon now?"
"Personal satisfaction."
"Oh... you guys heard it, right?" Tiona drawls and looks at the door, "I can now talk what I want to, right?!"
Hearing no reply, Tiona looks at Jackal again, "Say... isn't that unfair! You give Ais-chan all the good treats!"
"So?" Jackal inclines his head in agreement.
Inflating her cheeks into a pout, "So? Isn't it just good manners to share?"
"Oi, oi, Amazoness are the last breed I'll take life advises from," Jackal scoffs making Tiona and Tione smirk mischievously.
"I- I would like to buy Muskless Pouches..." The elf speaks up and as Jackal stares at her, she flinches back.
"Say... am I that scary?" He looks at Tiona who shrugs, "No. But your eyes are super weird!"
"Well, I was still deciding if I should share candies with you. I guess that does it," Jackal shrugs.
"No! I meant in a good way—"
"Just hurry the fuck up! We all have other things to do!" A familiar bark echoes again as Tiona and Tione bark back at once, "Then fuck off!"
"Heh, that was good," Jackal snickers and sets a gemling on the counter, "For your good behavior."
"Yay~!" Tiona unwraps the treat and lets out a loud hum, "Ooohhhh~ I get why Ais-chan is so stuck up on this!"
"Is it that good?" Tione questions and looks at Jackal, "Can I have one?"
He deadpans, "No."
"Why? I cursed back at Bete! Was my behavior not good enough?"
"Are you kidding me? I can make an exemption for adventurers like Ais, Finn, Tiona, and that one," he points at the young elf, "But you look old enough."
Tiona's expression stills while a hearty laugh rumbles from the other side of the store and a gruff voice booms, "So, Finn? Want to suckle on a candy, eh?"
"I'm no kid!" Tiona snarls and thumps the table. He may get beaten, but he shall never be intimidated so he shrugs, "Sure you are. That attitude says is all."
Tiona clenches her teeth, crushing the candy between her molars.
"Just give us our Bento and we'll leave!" She huffs loudly and crosses her arms, "Wouldn't hurt you to treat PROPER women like me better!"
'Say that to every man who lost everything for a girl,' Jackal huffs and waves her off dismissively, "I don't have bento for the lot of you."
"What?" Tiona squawks.
"What?" Jackal rolls his eyes, "Don't your familia have top-tier chefs?"
"Those don't feel as warm," Tiona groans and gives Jackal a sidelong glance, "Whatever, I'll come tomorrow for my share!" With another annoyed huff and grumbling something about him being a disrespectful jerk, she leaves the store.
"U-um... muskless pouches," The elf asks again.
"Sure," Jackal smiles and packs the order, "So? You're her Sweetness' wanted student, huh! Work hard!"
"A-ah! Yes!" She bobs her head and leaves quickly.
"No candies and bento," Jackal deadpans at Tione, "So be quick about it."
But something he does makes her expression bright.
Placing a finger on his lips to gesture to her to be quiet, Jackal slides a Love Potion to her. Looking at the goblin-headed potion, Tione smirks meaningfully and winks before mouthing 'Thanks' to him.
Hey, if Jackal can annoy the Braver of Orario, he will even if it means a freebie!
"I want five dual potions, too."
"There you go~!"
"Thanks~!"
Both of them wink at each other as Tione leaves with the soothing jingles of her anklets.
"Huh? I thought you'd be pushing for candy, too!" Tiona's surprise echoes in.
"Well, I'm not a 'child' like you~!" Tione hums.
Meanwhile, a large and buff brown-haired, thick-bearded dwarf walks in with a tall grey-haired werewolf. A blue tattoo marks the left side of the werewolf's face.
"Hoh? Quite the young runt to be speaking like that with our goddess and our Sweetness, no?" The Dwarf's voice rumbles loud enough for Riveria to snap outside. 'I'm going to kill that foul-mouthed barbarian!'
"Young runts like me look up to older ones like you," Jackal grins as both, the dwarf and the werewolf come to a stop before the former breaks into hearty laughter!
"You've got the mouth, punk, I'll give ya that! Be sure to climb the ranks. Might as well match our blows too one of these days!"
"You got it—"
"Hah? Match blows? Oi!" Snarling with a grin that reveals his sharp canines, the werewolf, Bete, leans forward and catches Jackal's collars, and pulls him out of his seat with a jerk of his hand.
"Weak bitches like you need to stay put and do as ordered!" His orange eyes bore into Jackal's quiet, baleful gold-red eyes.
"Oi!" Tiona barges in again as Jackal speaks coolly, "Unhand me, bitch."
"Hah? Say that again!"
"Un. Hand. Me. Bitch." Jackal punctuates each word calmly but in the depths of his golden pupils, a sense of irrational, chaotic violence begins to bubble. Before it could surge, however, as his intent is caught quickly enough by Bete who only seems more excited by Jackal's gaze, Tiona's hand clenches Bete's wrist.
"Let him—"
"Oi!" Jackal barks and whips his head in Tiona's direction, "Stay out of it!"
"Ain't that right, furball?" Jackal smirks and looks back at Bete, "So? Don't waste my time. Unhand me, order what you want, and fuck off. Or, if you wanna punch me, do that and fuck off."
"Well, you said it!" Bete grins, cocking his fist back when Jackal's hands move. He doesn't know how his strength translates to other stronger adventurers. After all, he is still on the second floor of the dungeon.
But... he isn't stupid. He is aware that many are physically violent in this world. He chooses to live true to his desires despite this.
As such, before Bete can relish the chance to deliver an absolute unit of a punch, Jackal flips his ax from under the counter he slipped out from the shelf and swings at Bete.
*Clang*
Tiona freezes in shock. Not because the ax shattered. Oh, no. That was inevitable. But... the sheer recklessness that Jackal displayed now left her stunned.
Gareth the Dwarf narrows his eyes while Bete, who aimed his punch against the ax snarls with a grin, "You thought I wouldn't notice your sloppy movements, bitch!"
Jackal shrugs, "Well, there goes my plan to headbutt you."
"Tch!"
Letting go of Jackal's collar and shoving him back, "Just buy what you want," he looks at Gareth, "This little asshole is all bark and no bite. No need to waste our time!"
Bete's exit is met with silence both inside and outside the store.
"Tch... wasted my perfectly good ax," Jackal clicks his tongue.
"Adequate ax," Gareth corrects the youth, "But sloppy movement. You've got a lot to learn, boy."
"Hmm," Jackal grunts while Tiona shouts, "Are you crazy? What the hell is wrong with you? Who picks a fight with above so many levels?!"
"Pumpkin," Jackal scoffs, "Your Familia's furball picked the fight. I just responded as any level-headed man would."
"That wasn't level-headed at all," Tiona slaps her forehead and groans.
"Well... I'm not knocked unconscious even when I went for his neck... so I did something right," Jackal shrugs and looks at Gareth, "What do you want to buy, big guy?"
"Pack anything," Gareth shrugs.
Jackal grins and silently packs five love potions, making Gareth laugh again while Tiona sighs in exasperation and then smiles. Still, she thumps on the counter, "Remember my Bento tomorrow. With how crazy you are, I want as many bento as possible before you pick the wrong fight and die."
"Heh," He grins and nods.
However, his grin fades when an equally gloomy Loki sits beside him.
"Why?" Jackal sighs.
"Apparently... you got on Riveria's bad side... and this is a punishment for both of us..." Loki groans and seethes. Apparently, Bete's actions reflect on Loki poorly and now she must face punishment... alongside Jackal.
