Chapter 683

"Ais has been stuck at Level 5 for three years, her ability growth reaching the limit of her rank, and her stagnant strength made her feel impatient."

"So, after meeting someone whose swordsmanship surpassed her own, she asked to be taught swordsmanship, except that person was from the Hestia Familia."

The Nine Magic Princesses said while looking at the Main God Loki.

"Haha, do you think I'm the kind of Main God who would stop Ais's progress?"

"Loki, you and the Goddess Hestia don't get along; in a situation like this, we'll also consider your feelings."

"What's the big deal? At worst, I just bow my head to that little dwarf and lose some face. As long as Ais is happy, and uses her soft chest to comfort me, this injured Main God—"

"Bang~"

Before the Clown Goddess Loki could finish speaking, her forehead was struck by the Nine Magic Princesses' hand knife.

"That child is very pure; stop always thinking about taking advantage."

The ninety-nine-year-old elf said in an educating tone to the Main God with the demeanor of her own family's middle-aged uncle.

"Guardian Mom is so scary~"

Loki held her forehead, which hurt from being struck by the hand knife, and said with tears in her eyes.

"Who are you calling Mom?!"

Riviria glared, and the Main God shrank his neck.

"Anyway, that's the situation, and given Ais's personality of wanting to become strong at any cost, if you stop her, it might cause that child to think about leaving the faction."

Finn added a sentence.

"Ais leaving the faction, how can that be?!"

Loki immediately jumped up from the chair.

"Then you, as the Main God, need to think carefully about what to do so that child won't have thoughts of leaving the faction. Alright, let's go take a bath and rest."

Finn, Gareth, and Riviria, the three of them, left the room, while Main God Loki remained inside the room, thinking about this matter.

And after Ais finished bathing and came out, she called the Sword Princess girl to her room, using the reason of updating her abilities.

"Ais, was the person you met today very skilled in swordsmanship?"

Loki asked while pressing her blood-stained fingertip against the girl's clean back.

"Yes, very skilled."

Ais nodded.

"Skilled to the point that you really want to ask him to teach you swordsmanship?"

"I want to keep getting stronger; if it's only at this current level, it's far from enough."

"Then if I don't agree, will you, this child, leave me?"

The room was silent for a while before the Sword Princess girl's somewhat gloomy voice sounded: "I don't know."

She joined the Loki Familia at 7 years old, and it has already been 9 years until now.

The Loki Familia here had companions like family to her, yet it made it very difficult for the girl to answer such a question from the Goddess.

"Alright, I won't stop you, and as long as it's for you, this child Ais, this Goddess of mine bowing my head and begging that little dwarf God isn't a big deal at all."

"Loki, thank you."

The Sword Princess girl thanked her, and did not stop the Main God's hand from reaching forward, preparing to grab her chest.

"It seems you, this child, are serious."

Touching the girl's chest, Loki, who should have been like a female hooligan, was not as happy as imagined, because the girl being willing to be touched by her meant the firmness of her determination; even if her chest was rubbed by her, she still wanted to ask for swordsmanship instruction to become stronger.

If she truly did not agree and wanted to stop the girl from continuing to get stronger, the other party might really choose to leave the faction.

", this is?!"

But soon, Loki exclaimed, discovering some abnormal changes appearing on the girl's ability panel that had surfaced.

Skill【Invisible Wings】: You responded to someone's expectations and emotions, letting them see you as wings that aid them, and while you help the other person spread their wings and fly high, you will also be able to be flown out by them. (Obtain part of the other person's skill effects)

Excelia acquisition rate increased, currently +10%, the degree of increase depends on your Bond with the Wing Master; this skill is a passive temporary effect, and when the relationship with the Wing Master is severed, this skill disappears.

After seeing this skill, even the Goddess Loki was a bit dazed; it was her first time seeing a situation where someone was granted a temporary skill by another.

And Ais's ability values, which originally didn't grow much at Level 5, after this update, had an increase of nearly twenty points of proficiency; her main ability, Dexterity, went from a827 to a837.

For Ais, whose ability values hardly increased no matter how she fought now, and who seemed to have reached the limit of her current level, this was a rather unexpected situation.

"Loki, what's going on?"

Looking at her own Ability Record Paper in hand, the Sword Princess girl asked somewhat doubtfully, suspecting her own Goddess had given her a fake Record Sheet.

"I don't know what's going on either; the only explanation is that you were affected by that appearing temporary skill; it might have let your limit value break through, but this—"

Loki's expression was quite complex; she didn't know where Hestia had found this kind of child who could grant others temporary skills, nor why the other party would grant such a temporary skill to Ais.

"Anyway, it's not a bad thing, right?"

"Uh, that's true."

Loki had a bitter face, already able to imagine the smug expression Hestia would have when she found out that the girl from her own Familia wanted to ask her Familia members for swordsmanship instruction.

However, let's not worry about that for now—

"Tonight, Mistress of Abundance, I've reserved a place to welcome back everyone who completed the investigation quest!"

The words of the Clown Main God caused the Loki Familia members, who had returned from bathing and doing Guild investigation quests in the Dungeon, to cheer.

At the same time, the Magic Stone Doorbell on the large iron gate of the Hestia Familia Headquarters was activated.

"Who is it?"

The Saiyan boy, who had already returned home, saw the Holy Fire Lamp light up and came out to check the situation.

"Mr. Broly, it's me!"

The red-haired Pallum outside the door waved and said.

"Who are you?"

Broly approached, looking at the Pallum outside the door with some confusion, and asked.

"I am Luo En Weike."

"Who is that?"

"The Adventurer you saved in the Dungeon."

After the Red Hair Pallum's reminder, Broly recalled.

"Oh, that guy who ran into the Dungeon to Adventure for the sake of pursuing a Boar Person girl, do you have some business?"

"These days have been somewhat busy, I didn't have time to come and thank you in person; today I finally have a while of leisure, therefore I came over to express thanks."

"That was just a trivial matter." Broly waved his hand, "I've accepted your thanks; anything else?"

"Little Brother wants to treat, and invite Mr. Broly to a meal."

The Red Hair Pallum said.

"This— —"

Broly hesitated somewhat.

"What's wrong, do you have other matters to attend to?"

Luo En Weike asked.

"Since someone has come to the door to express gratitude and invite you to eat, then you should go, Broly."

Before Broly could answer, Hestia's voice came from behind.

"Lady Hestia, is that okay?"

Broly looked back at his own Goddess.

"No problem, no problem."

", Lady Hestia, would you like to go together as well?"

Luo En asked.

"Where to?"

Liliruca heard the commotion outside and hurriedly slipped out to ask.

"Mistress of Bounty, if you don't mind, Miss Arde can also come along."

Luo En spoke again.

Because he took over the Investigation commissioned by the Soma Familia, he happened to know some Information/Intel on Liliruca.

", that Tavern famous among Adventurers, heard the Stewed Meat there is delicious?!"

The Pallum girl's eyes lit up.

"We're not going."

Hestia Refused.

"Ah, why?"

Liliruca looked at the Loli Goddess somewhat Confused.

"He came to treat Broly to a meal to thank him for the life-saving grace; what would it count as for us two Unrelated parties to tag along and let someone else foot the bill?"

Hestia said with Hands on Hips.

"That's not an issue."

Luo En hurriedly said.

"Not needed, we still have some matters to attend to on This Side.

Right, Mr. Weike, if you're going to treat Broly to a meal, you'd better bring extra money, because my kid has quite an appetite."

Hestia gave a Reminder.

"Then I'll bring food back later?"

Broly asked.

"Sure, you remember to bring some money; our share, Weike doesn't need to treat."

The Loli Goddess dragged the Pallum girl back inside.

The Soma Familia members' Information/Intel, another one-third still hasn't been Classified and sorted out.

"Then Mr. Broly, let's go.

Luo En Weike looked at the boy.

"Mm."

Broly nodded, but went back to get his Money Bag first, then went out the door with the other party.

0.0.

"Mistress of Bounty, the Stewed Meat Cooking inside is an Absolute; Boss Lady Miya's personally brewed Fruit Wine is also extremely delicious, in no way inferior to the taste of the Wine regularly brewed and sold by the brewers in the Soma Familia."

Along the way, the Red Hair Pallum was introducing the situation of the Tavern they were going to eat at.

"I don't drink alcohol."

Broly reminded him.

"Ah, doesn't matter, the fruit juice and tea are also very delicious."

Luo En hurriedly said.

"And besides the Food and Drink, the Waitresses inside are also an Absolute; every single one is a beautiful and moving woman.

There are lively and Cute Cat People girls, Cold Beauties elf girls who don't Treat Customers with false courtesy, and gentle and charming Quest Board Human girls!"

Luo En Weike Talked eloquently.

"Wait, you're inviting me to eat, not inviting me to an improper place, right?"

Hearing the other party's words, Broly couldn't help but stop his steps and asked.

", the Abundance Mistress is a very proper place."

"Then what do you mean by introducing how pretty the waitress miss is to me?"

"Ah, I just wanted to say, while eating delicious food, we diners can also appreciate the beautiful waitress misses' appearance of working diligently and busily in the tavern."

"Eating is eating, still watching the waitress's working appearance, is there some kind of major illness?"

Broly couldn't understand.

"Uh, that is the 【Abundance Mistress】, one of the features that comparatively attracts male adventurers to eat."

", Lorne scratched his head, then answered."

"However, that shop is absolutely a proper tavern, Miya the Store Manager's strength is unfathomable, if there are adventurers who don't know their place and dare to harass her waitress misses, they will be beaten up and thrown out, even if they are Lv. 3 adventurers it's the same."

The red-haired Pallum added another sentence.

"How much further do we have to walk on our side?"

After walking past three more streets, Broly then saw."

"The Abundance Mistress is located on West District Main Street, the front is it."

Lorne pointed at the not far away tavern that had already begun to become lively and said, if not for previously temporarily residing at the Heifesituosi Shen Zu Zhu Di, this would probably be a shop Broly would often pass by when going to the Dungeon, different from the morning's coolness, the evening here has people coming and going."

And the aroma wafting from inside the shop also made Broly's appetite surge, his stomach which hadn't eaten dinner yet let out a gurgling sound."

"Ah, Mr. Broly, let's go over quickly."

The red-haired Pallum held his stomach, as if the sound just now was made by him, called out to Broly and quickly ran towards the not far away tavern."

Broly hurriedly followed, pushed open the half-door style tavern door, clamorous sounds with a kind of even clearer illusion entered his ears."

This is a tavern full of Orario's smoke and fire atmosphere, with booming business, two catgirl waitress misses are busy inside entertaining customers."

"Mr. Broly, there are empty seats this side."

Lorne found empty seats at a comparatively quiet corner position, then called him over."

"May I ask, what would the customer like to order?"

Broly walked over and sat opposite the red-haired Pallum, then another light voice rang out from behind you."

"Can I order you?"

Broly turned his head to look, almost blurted out such a question."

【Discovered new capture target, Liu Li Ang, current happiness value 0 (working state)】"

Wearing a pale green dress, with a white apron tied in front, the elf waitress miss frowned, only feeling the Pallum male in front of her looking at her with a somewhat strange gaze."

As if he had generated some thoughts about her, but also seemed different from those ordinary male adventurers' lecherous gazes."

Thought for a bit, she then repeated the question just now again: "Customer, please ask what you need to order?""

"Uh, hmm, what do you recommend?"

Broly recovered from the abnormality of suddenly encountering a new capture target, then asked the elf waitress miss in front of him."

"If it's a recommendation, then it must be our tavern's signature dish 【Abundance Mistress's Love Stewed Meat】."

Liu Li Ang answered."

"Then this one is fine."

Broly nodded."

"One portion or two portions?"

"Two portions."

The red-haired Pallum interjected."

"Need drinks?"

"Your mixed fruit juice here."

"No alcohol?"

Liu Li Ang looked over in puzzlement, customers who come here to eat, rarely don't order alcohol."

"No alcohol, we don't drink."

Lorne drinks alcohol, but this is a gratitude meal he's treating, naturally he should follow Broly this benefactor's convenience."

"Still need anything else?"

Liu Li Ang finished recording, then asked again."

"Mr. Broly, do you still need anything else?"

"Do you have a menu here?"

"Yes, I'll go get it for you customer."

The elf girl walked towards the counter, just as she was preparing to take the menu over to give to the customer, she was intercepted by another girl taking over this kind of troublesome matter of entertaining customers."

"Liu Li Ang, you go report the dishes, that side's customers I'll entertain."

"?"

Liu Li Ang looked at her friend in some surprise."

"Those are unfamiliar customers, I'm prepared to use my charm as a signboard girl to make the other party become our tavern's regular~"

The cute girl with gray pupils and gray hair, laughed and explained like this."

"Uh, then give it to you, Xier."

The green-haired elf nodded, then handed over the menu in her hand, walked to the kitchen to report dishes."

Xier holding the menu, her gaze fixed on the boy's back facing her."

The other party's brilliant and thick soul, is so eye-catching."

Until now, in Orario, she has never seen such a soul, like a pure white gemstone embedded with colorful specks."

The species should be Pallum; although I often observe the children, this is still the first time I've seen this face — is she a newbie adventurer who just arrived in the city, or perhaps someone engaged in another profession?

No, whatever the case with this kind of thing, the most important thing right now is that I really want this child who suddenly appeared in my field of vision.

Xier walked over and heard the Pallum's conversation at the seat in the corner.

"Lorne, do you know the information about that elf waitress just now?"

The boy being watched by me was so ren.

"Mr. Broly, you mean Miss Lian, right?"

"

"I know some circumstances."

"Can you tell me? I can spend money to buy it."

", what is this of yours?"

"She is the target I want to encounter."

Broly spoke the truth.

"Ah, you've coveted her?"

Lorne was somewhat surprised, but his expression immediately turned serious.

"Mr. Broly, this isn't a matter of money, but rather, the other party is not a target suitable for encounter."

The red-haired Pallum said in a small voice.

"Hm?"

"Miss Lian — she is an elf with a very strong sense of justice."

"What relevance does this have to her being unsuitable for encounter?"

Broly looked at the Pallum opposite with some bu.

"How about this, I'll tell you in detail, but you must guarantee not to reveal it publicly."

"Okay, I guarantee it."

"Miss Lian, she actually is————"

"Actually is what?"

The red-haired Pallum's words hadn't finished when they were interrupted by a gentle voice that suddenly intervened.

Turning his head to look, a girl with gentle eyes like water-soaked silk satin bent over and leaned in, as if she also wanted to listen to what they were saying.

Her eyelashes trembled lightly, the corners of her mouth held a shallow smile, her fingertips lightly stirred her hair strands, looking at them with a charming expression, just like asking: Why aren't you speaking anymore?

"Ah, Miss Xier————"

Lorne exclaimed.

Broly also came back to his senses; just now he had been too focused on talking with the Pallum opposite, and unexpectedly didn't detect someone approaching this close to his side.

However, compared to this matter, what surprised Broly even more was that the young girl was actually also a capture target acknowledged by the Crystal Palace.
