章 31: Chapter 31: Knock Knock
Loki is in her bed, thinking about a lot of things. Lately, there's seemed to be a lot of troubles going on in Orario. From the death of Rudra Familia to this rising reformer known as Terry Cerventes. Not to mention the mysterious weapons that caught the interest of Haphaestus, Then there's this Black Emperor guy that the guild seemed interested in. Finally, there's this. Loki turned on all fours and looked at the window, specifically the flower vase on a ledge.
Every second, the vase seemed to be moving slightly. Shaking in its place and slowly moving towards the edge. At the distance, you could hear loud booms.
*Boom Boom*
*Crash* *Clutter*
Finally, the vase fell on the floor. crashing into pieces. Loki inhaled and then.
"Shut up already! DAMN bastards!"
What the hell are those bastards doing down there? Are they renovating the whole sewer? It's been a week! I haven't slept well in a week! Those bastards have been destroying my beauty sleep! FOR A WHOLE WEEK!
*Knock Knock*
Loki heard another explosion and immediately lost it.
"That's it! I'm going to talk to those bastards myself!"
Loki leaped and opened the door, suddenly the door stopped halfway through and made a banging noise. There was a person on the other side. Looking at the person, it was a woman with red hair and eyepatch. And her nose is bleeding. She looks very...very angry.
"LO...KI..."
Loki god chills all over her body and said.
"Y-yo! Hephaestus! Looks like you got into some accident! Are you alright?"
Loki began whistling while thinking about how to escape, maybe she should lock the door quickly. No, those bastards downstairs haven't been taught a lesson.
Hephaestus looked at her and sighed deeply.
"I was heading here to see you. But your kids finally caught the troublemakers down the sewers. And they're a bit interesting."
Finally! She can teach those noisy bastards a lesson. It's a good thing that Hephaestus forgave her, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
"Let's go see those little bastards then."
Loki and Hephaestus start walking side by side to meet the troublemakers, but Loki remembers something interesting. She smiled and then probed.
"By the way, I heard you picked up a new kid. What was his name again? Welf something something Crozzo? Must be great to have a new magic blacksmith huh."
Hearing that, Hephaestus chuckled, knowing the implication.
"He's a good kid, but suddenly he's more interested in alchemy than smithing... It's so honestly so confusing. At first, he said, he wanted to be the best blacksmith. But now, it seems that he wants to be the best alchemist."
Loki hummed in reply. Sounds like Hephaestus likes the kid a lot. Loki hadn't met him to make a good judgment, so she dropped the conversation.

"DORYA*BANG*"
Loki barged into the living room by kicking the door open.
"So who is it!? Who's bastards causing trouble in Orario's downstairs this whole week? Where are they!"
Finn Deime then pointed in a certain direction.
Loki scanned the living room and found three odd persons. Loki began looking at the three and judging them. Starting with the grinning girl.
"Is it you?" Loki began poking the girl's whole body lewdly.
"U-um? Hiya! *Squeels*"
"hehehe. You have a nice figure." Suddenly Loki poked her left arm, is it prosthetics? Why is it smoking? The heck?
"The heck is wrong with your arm?"
"It-it's prosthetics Goddess-sama."
"So it isn't you!? Then it must be."
Loki then started poking the face of the second person. He had white hair and donning simple clothes. He looks young and handsome.
"It must've been you with your killer looks, boy!"
"Eh-eh. No-no, I didn't do anything bad at all Loki-sama."
The boy looked innocent and scared. Loki liked that, she was greening ear-to-ear.
"How should I punish this bad boy!"
"Hiiii!!! I didn't do any bad thing Goddess-sama."
"Loki-sama, please don't scare the guests."
Riveria said calmly as she went back to reading a book.
"Hmph, I'll be the judge of that! Now finally..."
Loki then looked at the last person, it was a baldy wearing a mercenary uniform. This guy looked like a scoundrel through and through. At first, she was going to tease him, but this guy seemed to be excited. This ugly bastard!
"Disgusting..." Loki muttered
"LOKI-SAMA!" The baldy jumped at her and tried to kiss her.
Luckily Loki's hand was fast enough to stop the bastard.
"Bastard! Disgusting! Pervert! What the hell are you trying to do? Oi, get this pervert off me!" Loki screamed while blushing.
"HAHAHA! It seems that Loki-sama has met her match." Gareth Landrock heartily laughed
Earlier, when they first met these three oddballs, Gareth couldn't help but be reminded of her goddess because of this baldy. He had never met such a shameless person. He even tricked Bete into giving him valis. Bete and he met him first, Bete tried to beat him to death until the Baldy begged for mercy. He had never seen such a shameless fellow other than his goddess.
Everyone snickered at Gareth's remarks. Although these three are indeed the troublemakers. But after learning what had happened to them, the members of Loki Familia just felt bad.
"*Ahem* Can someone explain to me what's going on?"
"Of course Haphaestus-sama."
Finn Deimne raised his hand and began talking.
----[Line Break]-----
"What do you think, Riveria?" Finn Deinme said
"We have found our "troublemakers"," Reviria said as a matter of factly
"Indeed, it's just that there seems to be an odd circumstance. They seem to be in a predicament?" Gareth
The three leaders of Loki familia looked down from a drainage that leads to a large open area below. Down below, a group of hooded folks are being besieged by two odd assailants. One was attacking from afar with unknown means and moving from one place to another. Another secretly waiting in the shadows almost undetectable by any means. Only to kill an unwitting fellow and leave explosive traps everywhere.
The hooded folks, who get reinforced endlessly by more hooded folks seem to be getting tired of the constant skirmishes between the two. The bodies of their comrades are piling up but they continue to persist. They can get in but they cannot leave the place. For what reason?
The Loki familia discovered it earlier. This place has been filled with explosive booby traps with no end in sight. For low-level adventurers, this place is a death trap, but for high-level adventurers like the Loki familia, it was just a matter of perception. Plus, they have Bete. He can sniff out the odd sulfuric smell that these traps emit.
What they don't get is why these two attackers are so persistently trying to annihilate the hooded folks. The Loki Familia is here to investigate, so of course they want to know why these two groups are so intent on continuing this massacre. For what it's worth for these two groups, it seems very important.
The hooded folks seem to be intently protecting a bunch of pile of boxes. The other seems to want to get close to the camp but can't do so but the hooded folks also can't escape, at least not now. These two groups are at an impasse. This gives the Loki Familia a chance to sniff things out. So they sent Bete Loga down to investigate. So when Riviria saw him returning she immediately pointed at him.
"Bete has returned," Riviria said
Bete stealthily climbed up back to their gathering.
"They're holding someone captive down there. It must be the reason why those two crazy bastards keep coming on them. Haha!" Bete said nonchalantly.
"What about the boxes?" Finn asked.
"A bunch of long wood and iron. I didn't see anything special other than this." Loga pulled out a bag of something and opened it.
"What is it? Let me see, let me see." Tiona said happily
"What are these? Copper bolts? What a peculiar shape?" Said Gareth
"Wait, I think they have a tinge of magic in them? magic items?" Said Riviria
"Hehe, you two might not know, but now I know why these traps smelled familiar! Ais and I have seen this before! Right Ais?" Said Bete smugly.
Ais looked at him confused.
"Bah! You don't remember it either! It was the guy with an odd weapon. He used this like a crossbow! by shooting it from a lump of iron!"
"Oh, it's that weapon that Loki-sama asked Bete and Ais to find!"
Finn Deimne the captain of Loki Familia rubbed his chin and finally said.
"Since we won't get answers sitting here, we might as well ask them now since we got a preliminary understanding of what's going on. Plus, we also need to know what are these weapons."
"Finally! It's so boring waiting here!" Tiona began cracking her knuckles in delight.
"Hai! Let's crush some heads to teach them lessons, right Captain?" Tione.
