Raul's Black History!

Chapter 66

Western Part of Orario,

This area is different from the lively adventurers street next door.

In addition to adventurers, many ordinary citizens also reside here.

Since Orario is famous for its magic stone products, there are various related trades and industries in the city. These facilities hire many ordinary people as workers.

Therefore, the guild has arranged a place for these workers and their families in the city. However, most unaffiliated workers who do not join any familia live in the residential area on the western street.

There are also various stores, taverns, and hotels standing next to each other on the bustling street, and many adventurers often come here to pursue young and simple city girls.

"To be honest, I prefer this place to the rowdy northwest street filled with rough-looking adventurers."

Sirius walked along the street with Raul and Anakitty without carrying weapons or equipment.

He looked at the casual and relaxing atmosphere in the streets and expressed his opinions.

The workers who had finished their day's work were drinking freely, and the simple shopkeepers were trying to attract customers.

There are also silhouettes of many adventurers and gods mingling among the crowd.

One can only see this kind of scene in Orario.

"Indeed. I also like this place. Whether it's a human girl or animal-eared demi-humans, they're super cute when they wear various uniforms, right?" The spiky-haired Raul misunderstood his intentions and whispered to him in a low voice.

"Brother Raul, you have exposed your nature~ You don't think Aki can't hear you when you speak in a low voice?" Sirius was speechless by Raul's self-destructive behavior.

Anakitty is a cat people know for its keen hearing.

"Humph! Don't pay attention to this guy, Sirius. When you are familiar with him, you will find that he is a hidden pervert. Although Raul looks honest and innocent, he is actually the kind of person who spends familia's public budget on a brothel…." Anakitty mercilessly destroyed Raul's image in Sirius's heart.

"Cough, cough…" Raul, trying to provide some unhealthy suggestions to Sirius, heard Aki's remarks and coughed endlessly like an asthma patient. He felt ashamed when she revealed his black history.

"Aki-sama, please give some face and not destroy my reputation in front of a newcomer~" Raul expectantly looked at his long-time friend.

However, Aki wasn't soft-hearted after hearing this. On the contrary, she smiled contemptuously and continued to expose his shameful secrets.

"No way. Sirius, let me tell you something. In the past, Raul was obsessed with a certain prostitute in the Entertainment District. Not to mention spending all of his savings, he even gave all of our familia's public funds to her. Due to this reason, this guy has been paying back the debt all these years~"

"Ahh… A-Aki! Please, stop saying anything more. My fragile heart can't take any more damage…." Raul pretended to cry and beg his companion. He felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"Tch~ Who doesn't know about your black history? I'm just telling Sirius in advance. Besides, didn't the captain remind you before not to make the same mistake again?" Anakitty didn't know what to say about her long-time friend.

After this incident, Finn often reminded Raul not to make another such mistake. The pallum captain didn't want to see the familia's public funds being wasted again.

Therefore, Anakitty wasn't bothered by Raul's distressed expression since he reaped what he sowed.

Besides, Siriu would know about this sooner or later. After all, people in Loki Familia enjoyed teasing Raul.

"Wow, Brother Raul, I never knew you were so brave and romantic. To be honest, I admire your courage…." Sirius tried not to laugh and gently patted Raul on the shoulder.

Although he knew something about this matter thanks to his previous life memory, he wasn't clear about the details.

And knowing about it and talking about it are two different things. So Sirius now has a legitimate excuse to tease his spiky-haired senior with the others.

After all, happiness needs to be shared among friends. And, often, it is based on someone's suffering.

"Stop laughing! If you laugh again, I feel that our friendship is in a jeopardy." Raul looked at Sirius's expression and complained.

"Okay, okay. Then let me ask, how much money do you owe, Raul?" Sirius was curious about this matter.

"..." Raul was rendered speechless. This question dealt critical damage to his already injured heart.

Therefore, the sullen Raul ignored his two friends and sighed in depression.

…

After a while, the three of them got closer to the agreed place and met more and more familiar people. Finally, everyone greeted each other and headed toward the destination.

Sirius was the one to get the most attention due to his recent popularity.

All the seniors of Loki Familia are optimistic about his future, hoping that he will grow up as soon as possible so that their familia will have another powerful trump card.

In this way, Loki Familia will be more secure in the city and can compete against Freya Familia.

All members of Loki Familia are friendly and united, and they are delighted to see their successor's rapid progress.

After all, it's better to have a powerful newcomer themselves than outside. Nobody wants to see a powerful newcomer in another familia.

Soon, Loki arrived with the group of core members of her familia. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the pre-served tavern, Hostess of Fertility.

"Mama Mia! Loki Familia is here!"

As soon as Loki called out the tavern proprietress, a waitress came out of the door and greeted them.

"Welcome to our tavern, Loki Familia. We have reserved appropriate indoor and outdoor seats as per reservation. Sorry for the inconvenience." Syr greeted them with an apology.

"Well, it's alright. We're fine with the arrangements." Finn dismissed her concerns.

There were many tables and chairs outside the tavern.

The reason is that the tavern cannot accommodate everyone in Loki Familia. There are also many customers besides Loki Familia inside.

Finn also realized their difficulty, expressed his understanding to the polite waitress, and ordered half of their group to sit at the open-air tables while the remaining half entered inside.

Sirius tried to go along the flow, thinking he would sit outdoors and be done with the party. But, he always felt gazes coming from Ais and the rest of the level 5 group.

He felt that they were hesitating to ask him something. Their gazes were making him a bit uncomfortable.

Therefore, he decided to escape and tried to walk away.

But someone blocked him.

"Sirius? Why are you still outside? Tonight's party is also about your achievement. So come in and celebrate!" Loki noticed his movements.

"Eh…I don't think it's good for me to go inside…." Sirius tried to make an excuse.

"What nonsense are you saying? That's for me to decide. Stop hesitating and come inside." Loki intercepted him and said.

"???" Sirius didn't know what to say. There was a virtual question mark on his face.

Anyway, he complied with Loki's demands and was dragged inside the tavern. But, of course, the others were also happy to watch him get deflated in the hands of their goddess.
