Chapter 205: Loki Familia 2
While Finn observed him, Tsukasa also observed Finn.
While Finn might seem like a child, Tsukasa could smell Finn was an old man. While he wasn't sure how old Finn was, without a doubt, Finn was around in his early 40s. Still, he must admit his sense of smell was really amazing.
'Maybe, in the future, I can learn something more with my sense of smell.'
"Oh? Is this a new member? Haha! He's so handsome!"
Tsukasa quickly turned his attention to the bearded man who stood next to Finn. While he had noticed this man before, he must admit this man was strong.
'As expected of the dwarf.'
Tsukasa knew a dwarf had great natural strength, and as expected of a dwarf, his appearance was just wild.
The dwarf had brown eyes, long brown hair, and facial hair of the same color long enough to form a beard.
Tsukasa could tell this dwarf loved his beard and that he could see how the dwarf took care of his beard carefully, unlike the other parts of his body. "Thanks."
Finn smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. He's Gareth Landrock. He's one of the Level 6 adventurers in the Loki Familia and top executive of our Familia." He then looked at the elf next to him and said, "And she's Riveria Ljos Alf. She's also one of the Level 6 adventurers and the top executive in the Familia."
When Tsukasa looked at Riveria, he must admit this woman was beautiful, so beautiful that some goddesses even lost to her in terms of beauty alone. However, he didn't feel surprised since this woman was an elf, and based on the storybook he often read, the appearance of an elf had always been outstanding.
Her long jade-colored hair was tied in a tail that reached her waist, same-colored eyes and elf ears.
Tsukasa thought the difference between a human and an elf was on their ears, but it seemed he was wrong since, from Riveria's body, he smelled a lovely floral scent and strong magic that resided inside her body.
"I look forward to seeing how you'll be in the future." Riveria nodded, seemingly satisfied with Tsukasa.
"Huh?" 2x
The two people who were surprised by Riveria's words were Tiona and Gareth. After all, they knew how proud Riveria was, and it was their first time to see her praise someone like this.
Still, Tiona was always positive, so she thought Riveria praised Tsukasa's talent and how he could become a powerful adventure in the future, becoming one of the backbones of the Loki Familia. Also, she knew how Riveria might have gotten used to an outstanding appearance, especially when she was a princess of the elf, so Tsukasa's appearance shouldn't be able to seduce her, even if his appearance might be the best one had ever seen. Lastly, it was the most important reason. She believed Riveria didn't have an interest in Tsukasa because Riveria was old.
Riveria might have looked young, but she was 99 years old. She might be young among elves but among humans and the rest?
However, there was no need to say this.
Tiona also didn't dare to say this since she had respect for Riveria, so there was no way for her to say Riveria was old.
"Huh?" However, Gareth was a dwarf, so his personality was frank, and he said, "It's my first time to hear you say this. Do you have an interest in this kid, elf?" Their age was similar, and they entered the Loki Familia at the same time, so he didn't care even if his words would anger Riveria.
And, as expected, Riveria was furious. "Shut up, dwarf! Do you want me to blow you up with my Rea Laevateinn?"
Gareth only laughed and didn't continue to tease Riveria.
Riveria snorted before she glanced at Ais, who had been staring at Tsukasa for a while. While she didn't say anything, she had always considered Ais as her daughter, considering how she had always taken care of her from childhood until now. However, it might be because Ais was too focused on getting stronger, so her growth started to worry her. She wanted something that could interest Ais besides getting stronger, and she found one.
While Riveria wasn't sure what Ais felt toward Tsukasa, if Ais wanted to marry Tsukasa, she would help her.
Still, when Riveria thought about marriage, she became gloomy since, until now, she hadn't found the right one and married, especially when her entourage who had walked out of the elf forest had married and even had children.
'No, no, I'm still young among the elf!'
Tsukasa wasn't sure what Riveria was thinking, but if he knew what she was thinking, he would say she would be alright since he was interested in her even if the age difference among them was quite wide.
Still, there was a werewolf who showed an annoyed expression before snorting and looking away.
Tsukasa didn't care about that werewolf and also ignored him.
"That guy is Bete Loga. He's an executive and one of the Level 5 adventurers in the Familia, but it is better if you don't talk with him since his personality is nasty," Tiona said without lowering her voice.
Bete only glared at Tiona before he looked away.
Tiona only snorted and also ignored Bete.
"Tsukasa, are you going to the dungeon today, right?" Finn asked to alleviate the awkwardness.
"Yes, that's my plan." Tsukasa nodded without hesitation.
"If so, then you should limit yourself to the 13th floor of the dungeon," Finn said, giving advice to Tsukasa.
"Is there a reason?"
Tsukasa wasn't going to ask something stupid above. Instead, he asked, "So I am too weak to enter the 13th floor above?"
"Haha..." Finn only laughed awkwardly.
"It's okay." Waving his hand, Tsukasa said, "I know. I still love my life, so I won't do anything reckless."
"It's good that you understand." Finn sighed in relief when Tsukasa was so obedient.
Still, was Tsukasa going to follow Finn's words?
Of course not, right?
Well, Tsukasa also wasn't sure since he hadn't seen the dungeon and it wouldn't be too late to make his decision after he came there.
"Ah, are you going to the dungeon today, Tsukasa? Can I come with you too?" Tiona quickly asked.
"No, you should stay." Tsukasa shook his head.
"Huh? Why?" Tiona was dumbfounded and confused.
'If you come, what will I do?'
Tsukasa could imagine how Tiona would blast every monster that came and attacked him in the dungeon, protecting him like he was something fragile. He knew that if she did that, his level wouldn't increase since what he did wasn't an adventure, but just playing around.
Hearing his reasoning, Tiona could do nothing and just slump on the bench depressedly. Still, she also had confidence he would be okay and just hoped he would go back soon.
Tsukasa only nodded and after he ate, he walked out from the Twilight Manor, wearing his cloak, ready to start his first adventurer in the dungeon.
