I like traveling the most

Adventurers Guild.

In the afternoon when the adventurers were working hard to make money in the dungeon and the guild staff could relax a little, a shout suddenly broke the silence in the guild hall.

"Miss Eina, I'm really sorry!"

"Oh~ I'm not angry~"

Liar!

The half-elf girl sitting on the sofa opposite had an eager smile on her face. She looked even more beautiful with her already sweet appearance, but the black mist that was constantly emitting from her body showed that she was on the verge of anger.

Is it because he cheated on her?

That’s right!

After returning to the ground from the 18th floor and going to the tavern Fenfu's hostess to be congratulated by Aniya, Hill, Lyu and others, Xiaolin realized that the news that he had been promoted to LV2 and obtained the title [Binder] had completely spread.

It was probably because Uranus wanted to confirm his status as the only vassal that he spread it among the gods.

But as a result, his previous concealment of his strength was exposed, and he immediately came to the guild to look for Eina.

"No matter what, I'm really sorry." Xiaolin lowered his head and said, "I didn't mean to hide my strength. I'm really sorry for making Miss Aina worry!"

"You are this person..."

Seeing him apologizing so sincerely, the kind-hearted Aina couldn't blame him anymore.

But you still need to understand it clearly.

Aina asked: "In other words, you have actually accepted the favor a long time ago?"

"No, I was granted the favor half a month ago."

"It's a lie..."

"No, it's true."

Xiao Lin didn't lie to her about this matter, and there was no need to lie.

But in Eina's view, Xiaolin's growth is too extraordinary! Even the most famous swordswoman Ais took a full year to advance from LV1 to LV2. However, Xiao Lin in front of me only took half a month, which is completely incomprehensible!

Wait, half a month ago?

Eina remembered that when Xiaolin came to handle the adventurer procedures half a month ago, he had said that he had not joined the family, but he had been granted a favor half a month ago, which meant...

"Have you joined the Familia from the beginning?"

"...Yes, that's right."

Xiaolin nodded and admitted.

Seeing him being so straightforward, Aina nodded clearly and murmured: "No wonder..."

"What?"

"Actually, God Uranus probably did it on purpose. He didn't spread the news that you became LV2. He probably had some mission to teach you."

"Yes, that's right."

Although he didn’t know why Eina’s topic was so jumpy, Xiaolin still admitted it because he would go on an expedition with the Loki Familia in a while.

On the contrary, in Eina's view, Xiaolin's concealment of the family was the order of the god Ouranos.

Otherwise, he would become a LV2 adventurer in half a month, and he would have become a celebrity in the labyrinth city long ago. But now there is no news, and if he is not an acquaintance of him, he will even ignore it quickly.

Thinking about it this way, he was actually not wrong.

No, Xiao Lin, who was originally admired by everyone, now has to hide his impressive achievements. Don't you think he is pitiful?

Eina comes to a subtle conclusion and forgives Kobayashi.

"But! Even if you become a LV2 adventurer, your time as an adventurer is still short, so you can't miss out on tutoring on dungeon-related knowledge. Got it?"

"Yes! I know!"

Like a soldier receiving an order from his superior, Xiao Lin straightened his back and responded loudly.

It seems that tutoring will continue.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere relaxed.

At this time, in the direction of the guild counter, an adventurer suddenly made a loud noise, attracting the attention of the two people.

"Only 1,000 faries? How is that possible? How can those materials be worth so little? Are you blind? Damn it, what should you do with such a small amount of money... Damn it!"

That was an extremely slovenly man.

He was constantly slapping the receiving counter, and if there wasn't an iron railing in front of him, he might have grabbed the staff member by the neck.

Irritated, fanatical, and paranoid.

There is an inexplicable atmosphere that makes people feel bad, and a feeling that they are desperate to achieve their goals.

Are you short of money and desperate, or...

"Here we go again, Somo Familia."

Eina held her forehead and sighed, as if she was troubled by that person's unreasonable behavior.

Xiao Lin looked at his back with his teeth and claws splayed, and asked softly: "Do you need me to drive him out?"

"No, he will leave on his own later." Aina shook her head and said in a warning tone: "Xiao Lin, you can't have anything to do with the Somo Familia. They are very dangerous. Do you hear that?"

"I see."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"Well, very good." Seeing his promise, Eina nodded with satisfaction, and then said as if she had remembered something: "Sorry, Xiaolin. I have something else to do now. Let's talk about it when I get back later, okay?"

"Of course. Miss Aegina, please do."

"Also, don't think that you are strong just because you are already at LV2. You can never go below the 17th floor. Do you understand?"

"……I see."

If she knew that she made a big fuss on the 17th floor and defeated the LV4 floor master Goliath alone, she would definitely be scolded again, so she decided not to say anything.

Aina left in a hurry, not knowing what the emergency was.

On the other side, the House of Dusk.

Unlike other stingy and poor families, the base of the Loki family is a castle, a big castle.

Thanks to this, all members live here, and they love each other like a family.

The caring mother-in-law, Livilia, has been waiting for the return of Sword Princess Ais, but she didn't expect it to take so long. She only came back in the evening.

Seeing her return safely, Livilia breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're back, Ais."

"...Yeah."

Although she was as quiet and emotionless as usual, she always felt that something was wrong.

"How is it, did you apologize properly?"

"...Yes."

"What?"

"Let him escape again."

Sword Princess Ais told the whole process a little discouraged, and did not hide the fact that she asked Xiaolin to give Bell a lap pillow.

Livilia opened her mouth slightly and laughed "Puff--". It seemed that she felt it was too much, so she turned around and laughed secretly. But her constantly shrugging shoulders made Ais even more depressed.

Sword Princess Ais puffed up her lips and tapped Livilia's back, strongly expressing her dissatisfaction with her making fun of her.

"Humph."

"Sorry... hehe... but... hehe..."

Obviously Livilia didn't expect her princess to be so innocent that she would do something so stupid that she couldn't help laughing.

Boys give boys knee pillows and so on.

It's too funny.

Livilia's laughter was not malicious, but the pure princess still felt embarrassed and ran back to her room.

She couldn't understand it at all. Not only Livilia, but even Xiaolin was laughing. What went wrong?

"Go update your status."

She said softly.

Walking out of the room, Sword Princess looked for Loki.

"Soma, Soma, Soma wine~"

At this time, Loki was humming an unknown little song, holding up a jar with the logo of the Soma clan, and swaying to the living room.

"Loki."

"Look, Aisi, this is Soma's wine~"

→

Loki really seems to like the wine produced by the Soma clan, but Sword Lady Aisi doesn't care at all. She said bluntly:

"Well, I want to update my status."

"By the way, you haven't updated your status yet."

Loki just remembered that they went to the dungeon as a group, and after returning, only Sword Lady Aisi hadn't updated her status.

But...

"What should I do? We have guests coming."

"I seem to have upgraded to LV6."

"What?!"

Loki couldn't help but widen his eyes, and the narrow eyes widened a little funny, but now she couldn't care at all.

"You said it's upgraded to LV6?!"

"Well... but it's not certain yet."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and update your status!"

"But, guests."

"Who cares about her at this time! Of course, my little Aisi is more important!"

The impatient God grabbed Sword Princess' wrist. Now the two of them were going to do something hidden that only they could talk about. The eager Loki was like an old rogue who couldn't wait to strip Aisi naked.

No, I can't wait even a second!

Loki pushed open the door of the living room and said to the half-elf inside: "Sister Aegina, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry now, so let Livilia accompany you for a while."

Miss Aegina, the most popular staff member of the guild, who finally came over, was stunned.

"...Huh?"

"Hey, Loki!"

Livlia stood up and wanted to call Loki, but she ran too fast and closed the door in a blink of an eye and disappeared. Even her excited shouts continued to be heard throughout the corridor.

"My Aisi is going to level 6~ My Aisi is going to level 6~"

"...Really."

Livilia sighed in distress.

From the gods to the followers, no one in the entire clan made her worry.

Although she knew that Aisi might be promoted, it was not certain, and she would not run away. At least she should finish receiving the guests first, that half-baked god!

Aegina was confused and had no idea what was going on, but she still heard something about LV6...

"Sorry, Miss Aegina."

"It's okay, it's just that God Loki said just now..."

"Ah, Aisi is probably going to level up to LV6. Really, I just heard uncertain words from others."

"From others?"

"An adventurer named Xiaolin."

"Xiaolin?!"

The familiar name made Aegina stunned on the spot.

Livilia asked curiously, "Are Miss Aina and him acquaintances?"

"...I am his adventure consultant."

After explaining, Aina asked back, "Well, Miss Livilia, what kind of adventurer is Xiaolin?"

"A very outstanding adventurer."

The answer was very simple, but the evaluation was quite high.

Xiaolin was proud enough to be recognized by the famous LV6 strongman in the Labyrinth City, and by the Nine Demon Princess Livilia.

Come to think of it, how could he be an ordinary person who was promoted to LV2 in half a month.

What secrets does that person have?

Aina's curiosity became even stronger.

At this moment, a howl suddenly rang out in the entire Loki clan residence.

"Ais! Aisi... She... has been promoted to LV6 oh oh oh oh oh!!!!"

Loki's voice pierced the ears, and almost all the members of the family knew about it.

That idiot!

Livilia sighed again.

But it's a very worthwhile thing to celebrate, so there's nothing wrong with spreading it.

And according to the rules set by the guild, the family is not allowed to conceal the level of the family, especially when Loki's family is being watched by everyone, it is even more impossible to conceal it.

Another room.

"Congratulations, Aisi."

"Hmm..."

"What, you don't look very happy. Isn't this the upgrade you've been looking forward to for a long time?"

"Because I already knew it in advance, so."

"Oh, is it that Xiaolin?"

This is of course. After all, the focus of surprise is surprise. If you know it in advance, how can you be happy.

It's just so strange, why did Xiaolin know it? Combined with Uranus's request...

Interesting.

Loki's mouth curled up dangerously.

By the way, I almost forgot that there are still questions to answer.

He immediately took Aisi back to the living room.

Loki, who pushed open the door, did not apologize for abandoning his guest, and still rushed in without knowing it, shouting: "I'm coming, sister Aegina, are you waiting impatiently?"

"No."

Aegina put down the teacup in her hand.

After all, she had something to ask of him, and it would be very rude to show anger. In addition, the commotion just now had made her know why Loki left in a hurry, so it was even more impossible for her to be angry.

"Okay, okay, today is a really good day."

His princess was promoted to LV6, and there was also the magic wine of the Soma family to cheer him up, and Loki was completely in high spirits.

He walked quickly to the main seat and opened the dusty magic wine.

"I'm in a good mood now, so sister Aegina can ask any questions, and I will tell you everything."

"That's really a big help."

It's not easy to meet Loki.

If she hadn't met him by chance when she went to the store to look for the magic wine, and Livilia helped her buy the expensive magic wine, she might not have met him.

So we have to get straight to the point.

"So, Lord Loki, what do you mean by saying that the Soma clan worships this kind of wine instead of gods?"

"To be precise, this extremely expensive wine is a failure for Soma. What those guys worship is the finished product of the divine wine that cannot be found on the market."

"The finished product?"

"Yes, that is not an ordinary wine."

Loki's expression became serious.

Aegina knew that the next words were the key points, so she also pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

"That kind of wine, as long as you drink a sip, you will be intoxicated by it. The people of the Soma clan joined the clan just to drink that thing, and they only care about the wine."

"How could it be..."

If Loki can call it that thing, it is not a good thing no matter how you think about it.

Aegina asked again: "Do you mean that the Soma clan exists only for this kind of wine?"

"That's right, and focusing on brewing requires financial resources. Therefore, only those who make more money can drink a little of the finished product. And once they have tasted it, they will work hard to make money in order to taste it again. Even for 1 fari, they will not hesitate to harm their companions and sacrifice others. Yes, it is such a bad thing."

"…………"

Everyone present was silent.

Obviously, they did not expect the people of the Soma clan to be so paranoid and fanatical.

"But we don't know much, the above is all I know about the Soma clan. I wonder if sister Aegina is satisfied?"

"Yes, thank you very much."

Aegina left after thanking her.

Seeing that the matter was over, Loki stood up and said to "Mama-san" and Sword Princess: "Let's go, there is a meeting."

"Yes."

"I know."

Seeing the serious look of their own God, the two knew that this meeting was very important.
