บท 92: Riveria's Question!

Chapter 92

"Let's not talk about this, Artemis. You haven't told me how you met Sirius and have such a good relationship with him. This is not like your usual behavior. In heaven you were…." Loki wanted to say something, but Artemis interrupted her.

"What about me? Can't I have friends of the opposite sex!?" Artemis shouted with a tough stance, giving the impression of trying to hide something.

"Eh~" Loki deliberately lengthened her voice and chuckled meaningfully, which made Artemis look at her and want to beat her.

"What are you trying to say?" Artemis took a deep breath and said.

"No, nothing… Hey Sirius, look at this goddess. Doesn't she look quite fierce?" Loki involved Sirius in their conversation. The goddess of mischief hugged his hands, acting scared.

'Fierce?' Sirius glanced at the angry Artemis and felt she was obviously cute.

'Also, don't keep pressing your rock-hard chest. No matter how much you squeeze them, I will feel nothing but your ribs…' Sirius kept complaining in his heart. He didn't want to involve himself in the matter of two goddesses.

But for Loki's question, he still gave a reasonable answer.

After all, it's not a shameful thing. Therefore, Sirius soon told how Artemis rescued him and brought him to Orario with her familia.

"What!? Artemis brought you to Orario? Why didn't I know about this!?" Loki was surprised after hearing this.

"...You never asked." Sirius had a headache looking at Loki, who started to jump around.

He felt today was a rough day.

For the first time, he wanted to have a private celebration with Raul for leveling up. As a result, he encountered Artemis in the entertainment district. So, the previous plan was scrapped. Now that he wanted to have a good time with the moon goddess, Loki barged in and interrupted their happy time.

If these three joys are separated, Sirius will have a happy time like a dream.

Unfortunately, these events happen to overlap one after another.

'Why? How did it become like this?' Sirius supported his cheek with one hand and stared in front of him with a depressed expression. The scene looked like a large offline party, and he felt complex looking at it.

Artemis seemed to have a hard time dealing with Loki. The two goddesses started drinking Soma wine one cup after another, occasionally blending it with fruit wine from the tavern.

Soon, they started having a drinking competition, looking like one won't stop unless the other party was completely down.

The competition was because Loki wanted to hear some juicy secrets, and Artemis naturally refused. So, it developed into the current situation.

Rethusa and Lante were a bit farther from the goddesses, but after all, they were on the same table; how far could they go?

After avoiding stepping into the landmine of the two goddesses when it looked like they might quarrel, the two girls got close to Sirius and started chatting and laughing with Syr and Ryuu.

Riveria sat between Syr and Loki, like an ethereal fairy untouched by mortal filth.

The elegant elf ignored the reckless Loki and occasionally responded to Syr's words.

The crowd enjoyed food and wine until it was late at night.

The dinner party that was supposed to be happy ended with the defeat of the moon goddess.

After all, Artemis rarely indulges in alcohol. Although she could drink well, compared with an experienced drinker like Loki, she was obviously a bit inferior.

"Artemis-sama fainted!"

"It's amazing! It's the first time I've seen Artemis-sama like this…."

"Me too!"

"After all, she usually has a stern expression…."

When the girls from Artemis familia looked at their unconscious goddess, they started chattering in amazement.

"We'll take our leave, Sirius. See you tomorrow!"

But it didn't take too long for Rethusa to calm them down. The red-haired captain carried her fainted deity on the back, said goodbye to Sirius with an ambiguous hint, and left the tavern with her familia.

Fortunately, Artemis familia booked a hotel before coming to this place. Otherwise, this situation would not be easy to find a place to stay at night.

By the way, Sirius paid fully for all the food and drinks.

In a single meal, Sirius Starr nearly emptied 300,000 valis. The faces of Mama Mia and certain cat girls were filled with smiles when he checked out the bills.

"Ryuu-san, goodnight. I'll also take my leave."

Sirius spent some time saying goodbye to Ryuu and was the last person to walk out of the tavern.

On the night avenue filled with lights coming out of the magic lamp, Sirius stepped forward to join Loki and Riveria, who had walked some distance ahead.

"Hmmm… you wanted to beat me in a drinking contest? Artemis, you're still too tender~" Loki was drunk and started talking nonsense. It looked like she was in a good mood after defeating Artemis.

Loki walked in the front while Sirius and Riveria were a few steps behind.

"Sirius, why did you follow Raul to the entertainment district?" Riveria, who looked like a cold beauty, glanced at her temporary student walking on the side.

The emerald-haired beauty is not the type to gossip, so she kept her doubts until now before asking.

"Uh… I didn't go there on my own initiative. Don't you believe me, Riveria-sensei?" Sirius looked at Riveria hesitantly.

"No, I trust you. That's why I'm asking why." Riveria shook her head and looked at the boy calmly.

She also trusted the boy's words and believed he wouldn't go to a sinful place like the red-light district on his own. She intuitively felt that Sirius had another inexplicable reason to go there.

After all, as Sirius's teacher, Riveria remembered what she had taught him.

Sometimes when she had little extra time, she told Sirius and Lefiya about various places in Orario and other scenery outside the city.

The labyrinth city is quite large, and the eight areas that divide it have their unique characteristics.

So, Riveria clearly remembers telling Sirius and Lefiya about the entertainment district and asking them not to go there. Although it was embarrassing, she felt obligated to teach her students about such a topic.
