Bab 76: Astraea's Book!
Chapter 76
Riveria was in a dilemma to ask for help or not.
"Riveria-san, I didn't find any book with the logo of golden olive branch…How about you?" Sirius walked in her direction and reported.
"Sirius…" Riviera suddenly asked.
"Yes?" Sirius nodded subconsciously.
"Go get that book for me! The one above me." Riviera caressed her forehead and finally decided to ask for help. She pointed toward the book's location and asked him.
'So cute…' Sirius was happy to see her tangled expression and suppressed the urge to show a smile. He was taller than Riveria, so he tiptoed and reached out to take down the book.
"Analysis of the stars, and there is a logo of golden olive branch on the book. Is this what you're looking for, Riveria-san?" Sirius glanced at the book cover and asked his elf mentor.
"Well, can you tell me who the author is?" Riveria said.
"Well, it says the author is….Goddess Astraea!?" Sirius was shocked to find the author of the book, and the way he looked at the book changed instantly.
An actual goddess of stars wrote the book in his hand.
In Greek mythology, Astraea is the virgin goddess of justice, innocence, purity, and stars.
Excluding the others, just being the goddess of stars is enough for Sirius to care about her.
And what's more, she's also the main deity of Ryuu.
"Goddess Astraea once lived in this city, but…." Halfway through speaking, Riveria sighed and changed the topic.
"Loki exchanged this book from goddess Astraea. Although this book is a treasure, it hasn't been taken out for many years. But now, it should help you a lot in your magic research. Do your best! If you don't understand anything, you can ask me." Riveria patted his shoulder in encouragement.
"Okay. Thank you, Riveria-san." Sirius thanked the green-haired elf.
After finding the book, Riveria went back to Lefiya. Sirius also found an empty seat and started studying the book.
He was amazed by the knowledge inside the book and engrossed himself in studying.
Unknowingly the day passed, and Sirius returned to his room for sleep.
…
It was morning, and Sirius performed his daily job of applying experience booster to Ais and the others.
When they felt the rapid increase in basic ability stats brought by his magic, all core members of Loki familia went into a training frenzy.
After a few days of adjustment, everyone got used to the debuff and plunged into the dungeon for a limited time every day, frantically squeezing every ounce of potential in their body. So, their increase in basic stats was very impressive.
The time limit for his magic is not just an hour.
After making adjustments based on everyone's specific situation, the magic duration will vary from one hour to four hours.
Sirius could adjust the intensity of pressure applied to the body, but he could not increase the max time.
Because if he did so, it might backfire. Training without proper rest is very harmful to the body.
Occasionally, the big three will give themselves a holiday and go to the dungeon with the debuff to explore.
In the following period, Sirius and Lefiya learned magic knowledge from Riveria.
Thanks to their shared mentor, he got along pretty well with the yuri-elf.
It was probably the kind of friendly relationship where Lefiya would not grit her teeth and stare at him when he accidentally got close to Ais but would look at him with teary eyes like an abandoned puppy.
He usually teamed up with Raul in the afternoon to explore the dungeon and increase his basic stats.
And at night, he spent time researching his magic and trying to discover something new.
Sirius spent such fulfilling days for about half a month.
During this period, Nick and his partner from Ganesha Familia also came to Twilight Manor as promised and paid the 1 million valis they owed to Sirius.
At the dusk of a new day, Sirius returned from the dungeon.
He found Loki somewhere in the Twilight Manor pestering Riveria to buy her some Soma wine.
"Mama-san, I want to drink some Soma's wine~" Loki acted like a baby to Riveria.
"...Who is your mother!? I need to go out and replenish consumables and props for our familia. So, please don't bother me. Besides, don't you have a pile of alcohol in your room?" Riveria was annoyed, looking at Loki pulling her arms.
It's useless to avoid the goddess's grip. Loki just clung to it and didn't let go.
"Soma's wine is different. It's rare and comes out in limited quantity. I want to drink it, mama-san! Please buy it for me!" Loki kept pestering Riveria.
"I told you not to call me that!" Riveria raised her voice and said.
"Um, Riveria-san…and Loki…" Sirius suddenly interrupted them.
Riveria tried to get rid of Loki's grip after hearing this, but Loki didn't let go of her arms.
"Loki! Quickly, let go. Don't you feel ashamed showing your childish manners to a newcomer?" Riveria tried preaching Loki.
"Eh~what does it matter? Sirius is not an outsider anyway." Loki shrugged off the matter.
'Even if you think it's okay, I don't think so…' Riveria complained internally.
Riveria is a dignified member of Elven royalty, so she wants to maintain her image in front of her student.
Riveria has been single for many years, unmarried, and has never even discussed a relationship. So, she was ashamed of Loki calling her mama-san in front of others.
"Uh, Loki…I can pay for you later if you want to drink Soma's wine. But, I have something to ask you right now…." Sirius realized the situation.
It looked like Loki was pestering Riveria again.
Whenever she wanted to buy something (usually alcohol), she pestered Riveria like this.
And Riveria is a typical hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person. She usually compromises after Loki pesters her for some time.
If he didn't come, Sirius was sure Riveria would take Loki out to buy Soma's wine after a few minutes.
Sirius can almost imagine the following plot with his eyes closed.
But this has nothing to do with him now. What he wants to do now is update his status.
It's a bit early, but it's okay.
Anyway, a bottle of Soma's wine costs a few hundred thousand valis, and he can earn it back by going to the dungeon once.
