Chapitre 149: Dignity or apology
"I see..." Finn sighed in helplessness and regret when he heard the rejection of this young man when he invited him. "It's a shame that you have joined a Familia, but have you thought of changing into a different Familia?"
Finn knew that it was quite fast, but he directly invited Isao after he saw Isao's strength.
"I am happy with this Familia, so I won't move out, but thank you for your invitation, Captain Finn."
Naturally, Isao rejected Finn.
"No, you can call me Finn directly."
"Then, Finn. You can also call me Isao."
"Okay, Isao." Finn nodded with a gentle smile.
[You have acquired Finn Deimne's DNA.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
As Isao woke up, naturally, he got to know everyone in this group, whom he happened to meet on the 17th Floor.
Loki Familia.
He didn't expect to meet all of their main members who were just about to return to the surface.
Those of the Loki Familia were also happy to know him since they could tell that he was so powerful. Moreover, even if he was like a vagabond, his smell was so good, which made them feel strange, wondering how they could keep his body clean even if he stayed in the dungeon for so long.
Still, they couldn't help but observe his body, which made them blush. Even though his body was so thin that they could see his ribs, they could feel a strange charm from it that made them wish to look at it from time to time. At the same time, they also noticed that the red spider lily and centipede tattoo on his neck had disappeared.
If there was something that attracted them most, it would be that tattoo on his neck, but somehow, it had disappeared, which made them feel confused.
"Is there something wrong, Tiona-san?" Isao noticed a petite Amazoness with short hair and a large blade.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Tiona asked with a blush.
"..." Everyone.
Isao blinked his eyes and thought that the Amazoness was sure weird. "No, I am single."
"Then, do you want me to become your girlfriend?" Tiona asked shyly.
"..." Everyone.
Isao glanced at Tiona's pitiful chest, then apologized sincerely. "...sorry, I think it is inappropriate, and I don't think it is suitable for two different Familias to be together, especially when you are from a big Familia."
"It's fine! Loki will agree to our relationship! Ah, but if we have children, then it will be in our Familia, though."
"....."
Isao was at a loss, wondering why this young woman suddenly told him that she wanted to have his child.
Fortunately, someone came up to help him.
"You idiot?! What the hell were you saying all of a sudden?! Don't say such stupid things?!"
A young woman, like Tiona, but with a taller and more buxom body, quickly grabbed her sister and strangled him.
"Stop! Stop! I am serious! I have fallen in love! No one can stop me, even if you are my sister, Tiona!"
"You stupid sister?!"
"..."
Isao tried to pull away from the two of them.
"I am sorry for the two of them." Finn is also awkward when he sees Tiona, and Tione starts to fight, showing embarrassment to the outsider.
"...it's fine, and isn't it good that your Familia is all lively."
"Haha..." Finn laughed awkwardly since he felt that it was too lively!
"By the way, you should wear this."
Suddenly, a white hand extended toward him, holding clothes and telling him to wear them.
"...thank you? But is it okay?" Isao looked at the beautiful elf with emerald hair.
"If you don't wear it, you will trouble me and many..." Riveria Ljos Alf, the beautiful elf, sighed helplessly and calmly, but Isao could see the cute blush on her cheeks, thinking that compared to the main heroine, this mature woman was much better.
"Thank you." Isao took the clothes and lightly touched her finger, causing Riveria to be startled, but she calmed herself, thinking that it was just a coincidence and she also wasn't an elf who was so prudish that she would kill anyone who touched her skin, especially when their fingers just lightly touched against each other.
As Isao wore his clothes, somehow, many let out a disappointed sigh.
"...." Isao.
"So, you are training there?" Finn asked curiously.
"Yeah."
"But isn't that too extreme? Staying in the dungeon for six days without eating, sleeping, and other things, only fighting and honing your skill."
Frankly, when they heard that Isao had stayed in the dungeon for so long, only training without eating or drinking, they were all dumbfounded. They wanted to deny it, showing their disbelief, thinking that he was lying, yet when they saw his all-bones body, they knew that he told the truth.
"It can't be helped; I have something that I have to do on the surface."
"What do you want to do that you have to do all of that?" This time, Riveria asked this question. As for why she asked such a question, it was because she had noticed her daughter-like existence; Aiz Wallenstein had been secretly observing Isao, hoping to ask him something. As expected, when she asked this question, Ais quickly focused all of her attention on Isao.
Only a man with a feature like a wolf snorted, feeling jealous of the attention this vagabond got from Aiz.
Her beautiful golden hair swayed as her clear golden eyes stared at the figure of this young man, who was so obsessed with fighting until he forgot everything.
If it was her, could she do all of that?
Without eating, sleeping, drinking, spending six days fighting all the time, breaking the limit of her body, and honing her skills, reaching a level that she had never reached before.
Moreover, she was curious about why Isao did all of that.
After all, like him, who had a reason, she also had a reason why she became stronger, and if she could learn from him, then could she become even stronger?
Isao only smiled at Riveria and said, "You will see it soon."
"Hmph! Acting so smug even though you are a weakling..." Bete, the werewolf, snorted.
"Bete!"
Tiona quickly scolded Bete.
"I am sorry for him. He is always like this." If it was their own Familia members, Finn didn't really care since they should have understood Bete's personality, but Isao didn't come from their Familia, and he didn't want a fight to happen between them.
However, Isao simply ignored Bete as if he were just an air.
"Why did you apologize?" Isao looked at Finn with confusion.
"Er... because our members are rude," Finn said with a strange expression.
"Hmm? Did someone say something? I didn't hear anything," Isao said with a doubt.
"...." Everyone.
They looked at Isao strangely before noticing that Isao simply ignored Bete as if this guy didn't exist, making them tense.
"You little shit." Bete frowned at Isao and said, "You think that you can say all you want?"
Isao then glanced at Bete and said, "It's better than a coward who can only say something in mutter than express your thought clearly, right?"
"....." Everyone.
The two faced each other.
Even though Bete was a Level 5 adventurer, Isao didn't show fear and stared at him calmly.
Still, Isao was an outsider after all, but even so, Bete's relationship with everyone wasn't good at all.
Bete was like a rabid dog who would bite anyone, telling them that they were weaklings. If there was a reason why all of them let him say whatever he wished, it was because they were weak, so watching Isao dare to provoke Bete, who was stronger, they felt dread.
Bete glared at Isao, showing his killing intent, but Isao was all calm and didn't even show fear.
"Bete, enough!"
In the end, Finn stepped between them and stopped their fights. He looked at Bete and said, "Stop provoking others meaninglessly."
"What's wrong with telling the truth? He is a weakling! What's the right of him to challenge the strong? He should be glad that I didn't kill him!"
In Bete's eyes, Isao was an ant that he could crush anytime. Was it wrong to tell the facts before them?
"You..." Finn knew that he couldn't stop Bete, and this was how his personality was, but then again, he also looked at Isao helplessly. While he knew this was a Level 1 adventurer, he wasn't sure why; he felt Isao was dangerous. Yes, Isao was weak, but somehow, if someone dared to touch him, he could feel that they would be poisoned to death.
Isao might be a small shrimp, but he was so poisonous that those who dared to touch him would have to bleed heavily.
Moreover, Finn's instincts also tell him that he shouldn't become Isao's enemy, and his instinct has never been wrong.
Or rather, was Isao really a Level 1 adventurer?
Isao might lie, and he was just training, but then, if they backed down from Isao's provocation, letting a Level 1 adventurer challenge their executive member, then where was the dignity of the Loki Familia?
As expected, instead of Bete, Finn could see that Isao was staring at him.
Isao wanted to see the attitude of the leader of the Loki Familia.
Finn took a deep breath, then bowed his head. "I am sorry for his rudeness, Iinuma-kun."
"...." Everyone.
Bete looked strangely at Finn, wondering why their leader would apologize to the trash.
Isao looked at Finn, then at everyone. "You guys have a good leader." After saying those words, he suddenly disappeared from everyone.
"?!"
There was no trace of him, and he had completely disappeared as if he didn't exist.
Whether it was his smell, figure, or everything.
No one could find him.
"Where is he?" Gareth was dumbfounded, and Bete tried to use his sense of smell, but he couldn't find him anywhere.
Even Aiz also widened her eyes, wondering where Isao had disappeared.
"Finn?" Riveria looked at Finn, who shook his head since, like the others, he was unable to find Isao.
"You bastard, Bete! What the hell did you do?!" Tiona was furious.
"I didn't do anything wrong! A weakling is just a weakling!" Bete became even more stubborn.
At that moment, Finn was glad that he had made that judgment, but when he looked at Bete, he thought that this guy might live in hell soon.
